The Boy and His Calf. it i a long time since We heard the. first story about the farmer who gave Bill a calf and then sold it and pocket- ed the money when the calf. became a cow. In the last chapter of this story, Bill is' tearfully bidding his mother good-bye at the garden gate and is headed; for the "wicked city." No more farming for him if father is go- ing to confiscate his calf business. We have not heard that story in quite a while, and believe that the organiza- tion of boys' and girls' clubs and the general tendency to interest boss in .orul greatly 'to -apply lbre you OXO-3440iriF ye itdy sto beat form of undlimestone at the ton,p per :tore.

This change sbould b made by gradually reducing the whole milk. and making up the difference with skim - nod milk, using four or five days to make the change. The amount, of milk the ealt will take must be regulated hy the size and the appetite of the calf. It is best nut to feed the calf too much, rather hit him be a little Iningry. Generally small Jersey or Guernsey calf will take two quitrts of milk at a feeding, while a "Rola:Lein or f114 Ayrshire will take three quarts at a feeding to staet with. This amount Call he gradually increased as the calf increases in size, up to the time when it receives 12 to 14 pounds of skimmed milk per day for small calves. and 10 to 20 pounds for larger At this time, or even before change is made to skimmed milk, the tall should be given a small amount of bran or a mixture of bran and oata or bran and cracked corn. The calf can easily be taught to eat grain by placing a small amount of the grain in the calf's mouth after it has had its milk.

The higher: potash ferti- lizer should be used on the blacks ground since muck soils are ;il vays short of this type of pIantfooti. For best results apply "201) pounds of ferti- lizer through the fertilizer attachment of your sugar -beet drill when plant- ing the aced. The remainder of the; fertilizer should be spread on tlle'. grotand by the fertilizer dropper gram drill or a broadcast lime -and -fertilizer spreader." If it is applied through the.. lime spreader the ground should be thoroughly dialled and harrowed be- fore the beets ,are sown so the ferti Iizer will be well workedainto the soil. S.:—I intend sowing a small strip in my garden tlus spring with alfalfa and orchard grass in alternate rows. I thought as they came an about the same time they would make a good combination for cow feed. What do you think of the plan and how far should the rows helipart? Answer :—Alfalfa and orchard grass ripen about the same time. Grass of any sort tends to kill out, alfalfa. You will do better to sow rows of alfalfa if you want to grow this crop or if you want a maximum quantity of feed I would advise you to sow ensilage corn. If you are sow- ing alfalfa put the rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Subscriber: --The rhubarb here has been planted several years, seems to be thriving well but appears tough and lasts but a very short season and rZquires to be peeled for cooking. can not you state the cause and advise me some means of making it O.K. for this season and when to -re- set? Answer i—lt may be that your rhu- barb is not of the most tender variety. However, if yon know that it is, the probabilities are that the plantfood necessary to produce an abundant and- telider crop is lacking. At any tinoe now sow fertilizer at the rate of 50 lbs. to a space measuring 20 feet by 30 feet between the rOWs ef rhubarb. Do not let the fertilizer drop immedi- ately on the rhubarb but keep it about 3 to 5 inches away from the plants. Follow the application with thorough raking or digging, at a depth not to exceed 2 .ao 3 inches, so as to work the plantfood into the soil.

WOULD GO I NTO FITS. Through one cause or another a large majority of the people are troubled, more ar less with some form of heart trouble. Little attention is. paid to the slight weakness until the heart starts to beat irregularly, and they suddenly feel faint and dizzy, and feel as if they were smother- ing.
