Following this plan they will grow faster and be less dependent on I their mother's milk, Such a pen may I be conveniently used until the pigs I at e weaned, which should be when they are 10 to 12 weeks old. Small pigs should be fed largely on short'; and oats, with a small amount or Icornmeal and tankage. In feeding 'oats to them it is best to discard I the hulls, as they are indigestible.

This provides I variety and has a tendency to give about the proper amount of fat.

I Willoujhbi I lure. i The iv.o'.t Important thing about j artificial feeding is to see that the I milk buckets are kept clean and ster- ile, and that the milk is 'fed to the ; calves at the same degree of tempera I ture every day. Young calves are easily upset in digestion by irregularity or dirty I methods in feeding milk, and the case I of scours which will ensue Is fre quently hard to control. The aim of ;the feeder should be to keep thi I calves in a thrifty growing condition. After feeding fresh warm milk in -the bucket for about three weeks, the farmer can substitute fresh skim milk, and begin to feed small amounts of bran, ground oats and corn meal to take the place of the nourishment found in butter fat. In case scours occurs, the best plan is to reduce the feed of the calf one-half or more, and clean out the digestive tract with a light dose of castor oil. Some farmers find that a little lime water or parched flour will help in checking scours. Young calves are rather suscepti ble to colds and even to pneumonia in summer time, and should be pro- with shed protection, a dry A one-half acre tig orchard in Du- Val county, which was planted in 1020, bore over $300 worth of figs jlast year. The present season's crop Will be more than double that of last, with a strong demand lor the truit at 20 to 30 cents a quart. In suits to remember says I'rofessor specialist. "First, see that the machinery is in readiness for the job. All missing or broken parts, loose bolts, dull knives, and worn belting should be located and put in shape "before the crop is ready. "The crop should be alloyed to nach the proper stage of maturity before putting it into th" silo. Corn makes the best silage, and should be jcut just as the shuck begins to turn brown, while the leaves are still 'green, and the kernels are beginning to dent and glaze. .sorghum should not be put in the uto until tne seed are praelica v ma ture.

This trouble can be overcome by turning a small stream of water on the knives with a hose.

The fungus usually starts thru the dead tip of a branch, IS then gradually extends to the Z ..... It neaitny part ot the Draneh, causing a sudden wilting of the leaves. For this reason, says Dr. Burger, patholo gist, the trees should be kept free of dead wood to prevent the fungus from getting a start. All infected branches should be cut out, and in doing this care should be taken to cut well back into the healthy tissue, as tJlis fungus reaches farther back into the wood than its outward signs Indicate, A dormant spray of bor deaux mixture 4-4-60 formula, is also recommended to destroy all spore; that may live over the winter in some part of the tree where i! would not be easily observed. .:-::-x:-::-:- Real Estate I x List Your Property Property eared for for.

The crop frtfm this late bloom is apt to be attacked by scab during the rainy seaFon of Jnly and August and made unsalable, unless something is done lo check the scab, according to Dr. O. F. Burger, plant pathologist. July is the most critical time for this bloom, says Dr. Burger, and a spray ing with bordeaux-oil, (3-3-f.O bor deaux and I percent oil emulsion), is recommended lor about the middle of July. The use of bordeaux-oil will serve to keep the scale insects in con trol, while bordeaux alone has no effect on them. The same sprayiiu will also help control melauose.
