r~ a? v'fi a! &$ Fm Tw How to Feed Young Dairy Calves More calves see the light of day in the spring and draw their first breath when the air is filled with the fragrance of many blossoms than during any other season of the year. Whether these calves will become star boarders, producing little milk of no profit for their owners, or be jwir|M« additions to the dairy world, will depend not only upon the care that is given them but upon the feed SAYS HOT WATER WASHES POISONS FROM THE LIVER Everyone should drink hot water with phosphate in it, before breakfast To feel as line as the proverbla fiddle, we most keep the liver washed clean, almost every morning, to pre vent Its sponge-like pores from clog ging with Indigestible material, sour hlle and poisonous toxins, says a noted physician. If you get headaches, it's your liver. If you catch cold easily, it's your liver. If you wake up with a bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or stomach be comes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes all denote liver uncleanllness. Your liver Is the cost important, also the must abused nnJ neglected organ of the body. Few know its function or how to release the dammed-vp body waste, bile and toxins.

Address all communications to Farm Editor, care of Graphic. and management of their mothers. Poorly nourished cows, say dairy specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, give birth to weak calves that are hard to raise. Cows which have an abundance of palat able succulent feed and are in good body flesh and healthy, thrifty con dition at calving time are more like ly to produce well-developed, strong, thrifty calves which will respond nor mally to proper feed and care. It is false economy for any dairy-cow .owner to withhold feed from a dry cow, as this is likely to affect un favorably the future welfare of the calf, as well as later milk produc tion by the cow. Nature's method is to have the calf stay with the cow until it can sup port itself. In modern dairy farm ing, however, because of the value of the butter fat and whole milk the dairyman separates the calf from the cow soon after birth. The milk pro duced by the cow for the first few days has properties which put the calf's digestive system in good work ing order. It is, therefore, necessary that the newly born calf have this milk. Most dairymen prefer to keep the calf with its mother for about 48 hours immediately after birth, but if the calf is weak it is best to allow it to remain longer. Teaching the Calf to Drink The longer the calf remains with the cow, however, the harder it is to teach it to drink, but it is usually a simple matter to teach a good, ro bust calf to drink, if taken when not more than two days old. Before this is attempted a calf should be kept from the cow for about 12 hours it will then be very hungry. About 2 quarts of its mother's milk, fresh and warm, should be put into a clean pail and held in front of the calf. Sometimes it will put its nose into the pail and drink without coaxing. Dairymen are not fortunate enough to have many calves that will do this, however, and in most cases it will be necessary to use a little forceful per suasion in assisting the calf with its first meal away from its mother. Let the calf suck the fingers, and by this means gradually draw its nose into the milk, when the fingers should be removed carefully as soon as the calf gets a taste of the milk. Pa tience is necessary, for this opera tion may have to be repeated two or three times before the calf will drink alone. If the calf is unusually stub born and it is necessary to use force, try not to frighten or unduly excite it. A calf weighing 50 pounds at birth should have about 8 pounds of whole milk a day, while a 100-pound calf should have about 12 pounds. The amount of milk should be gradually increased until at the end of the sec SAY, Just between ourselves, you never will wise-up to high-spot smoke-joy until you can call a pipe by its first name, then, to hit the peak-of-pleasure you land square on that two-fisted-man-tobacco, Prince Albert Well, sir, youll be so all-fired happy youll want to get a photo graph of yourself breezing up the pike with your smokethrottle wide open!

The daily ration may be increased from 2 to 4 pounds, depending upon the vigor of the calf. When the calf does not drink eagerly what is offered, the quantity should be cut down. The ration at the end of the third week usually should be approximately one half whole and on^-half Separated milk. During the fourth week the change should be continued until by the end of the week only separated milk is fed, unless the calf is very delicate. With especially vigorous calves the change to separated milk can be made about a week earlier. The quantity fed can be increased gradually to 18 to 20 pounds a day. Six months is probably a good aver age age at which to wean calves from the milk. The age depends up on the cost of the milk in relation to the value of the calf, its breed, size, vigor, etc. The season of the year and the other feeds available also must be considered. When the best of hay, silage, and a good variety of grains are available, or when good, succulent pasturage can be provided, the calf can be weaned earlier also the stronger and more vigorous the calf the earlier it can be weaned. On the other hand, the more valuable the calf the more expense the owiier is warranted in developing it, and the later it will probably be weaned. If skim or separated milk is plenti ful, calves may be fed it with profit until they are 8 or 10 months old.

Its mother's milk should be given a calf for the first 4 days, then any good whole milk can be used, but prefer ably it should not contain more than 4 per cent butter fat. Best results can be obtained by feeding young calves three times a day, with the periods between feeding as nearly equal as possible. When fed in this way the calf does not overload its stomach and the digestion of the feed is more evenly distributed through out the 24 hours. Regularity in feeding is important. When calves are fed but twice a day the feeding should be as nearly as possible 12 hours apart. Cleanliness Essential Successful raising of calves re quires absolute cleanliness. Calf pens should always be kept clean and be supplied with plenty of dry bedding. Discarded feed should be removed from the feed boxes, which should be thoroughly brushed and cleaned each day. All milk fed should be fresh and clean, which is true also of other feeds. Milk pails should be scalded thoroughly with boiling wa ter, or sterilized with steam if pos sible.

Helpful Recipes For the Housewife The housewife who is overlooking the possibilities in peanut butter, during these days of mean conserva tion, is missing a good chance of sup plying her family with a food pos sessing a high protein and a high energy value at a low cost.

CARE OF BROOD SOWS Brood sows should have dry, well ventilated, well lighted, well bedded quarters in which to live. If these conditions are provided the building r.eed not be so warm. Good results can not be expected if they arc kept in dark, damp quarters no matter how warm or how well fed. The brood sow should also be made to take abme exercise!. This is sometimes done by feeding them a little ways from the sleeping quarters.— Exten sion Div. N. D. Agr. College. GRIMM ALFALFA New reports of the hardiness of Grimm alfalfa are being continually received by the North Dakota Ex periment Station. The Grimm al falfa even if it does cost more for seed than other varieties is cheaper in the end, as the chances are that f»ps?i! the other variety will freeze out some winter, and then comes the task of starting over. This is not only ex pensive, but it causes a loss of a crop and usually upsets some plans. In North Dakota a seed crop can be se cured from the second growth of al falfa. If it is Grimm, it will bring a larger price.—Extension Div. N. D. Agr. College.
