Baldwin Hardware Seaforth changed over to elIJUI Milk The skim milk feeding is oontinued for varying periods up to six months of age. With suitable housing fac- ilities and applying the necessary sanitary precaution% there is no question that good replacement stock can be raised by feeding milk on this scale. However, feed- ing saleable whole milk on this scale does not appeal to the dairy- man supplying the whole milk trade, and separating milk may not be in keeping with the dairy en- terprise planned. Experimental results have shown that satisfactorw growth can be ob- tained by feeding a reduced amount of whole milk and eliminating skim milk entirely from the ration. V. S. Logan, of the Animal Husbandry Division, says that at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, calves were fed whole milk at the rate of eight pounds per calf daily for the first week-; increased to 10 pounds per day during the second and third weeks and then the daily rate of feeding was reduced by one or two pounds each week until the seventh week when the calves re- ceived four pounds of whole milk daily. At the end of the seventh week the whole milk feeding was Buchanan Cleaners Mount Forest successors to TONE CLEANERS We P;ck Up and Deliver Monday and Thursday Phone 230 - Seaforth ANDY CALDER AGENT Ladies' and Gents' 2 -piece Suits, $1; Plain Dresses, $1; Plain Skirts, 50c; Gents' Trousers, 50c Quality Plus Service is Our Motto S.

A calf meal starter containing 18 per cent digestible protein -was in- troduced when the calves were two weeks of age. Fresh meal was supplied each day, letting the calves eat. all they would clean up and allowing up to four pounds daily from the tenth to the twelfth week. The best hay available, high in green color and containing a good percentage of legume, was al- lotted to the calves. Between the second and third weeks, small por- tions of hay were initially provid- ed, but by the sixth week the calves were consuming appreciable amounts. The unused hay was re- moved each day and replaced by fresh material. The quality of the hay can have an appreciable effect on gains made by calves. Feeding reconstituted skim milk, which was prepared by adding one pound of skim milk powder to 10 pounds of warm water, after the whole milk was discontinued, re- sulted in slightly higher gains. However, satisfactory growth can be obtained by limiting the calves to bhe amount of milk stated. Important considerations are to have the pails and the feed con- tainers thoroughly cleaned each day, also to ensure that the pens are free from draughts. * * Controlling Garden Pests A simple hand sprayer and suit- able,spray will control most of the insects that delight in spoiling garden shrubs and plants. Here are some of the common pests and the simplest spray for the amateur gardener.

It feeds on the buds .and often cuts them off. Use of spray of DDT, one teaspoonful 50 per cent wet- table powder in one quart of wa- ter, applied as soon as the buds or beetles appear, and at 10 -day inter- vals if necessary. Gladiolus Thrips: These are small active insects that suck the juice from the plant causing white spots on the leaves. If flowers de- velop they will be small. Use the same spray as for rose curculio, first applying it when, the plants are 10 inches high and every 10 days thereafter. DDT powder should- be mixed with the corms when they are stored in the fall to kill the over -wintering stages of the thrips. Leaf Hopper on Virginia Creep- er: The adult leaf hopper, a small active greenish colored insect with red markings, appears shortly af- ter the leaves expand and feeds on the leaves by sucking the sap from them. A severe infestation will cause the leaves to drop off. The same DDT spray may be used for this insect, applied soon after the leaves expand and at 10 -day inter- vals if necessary. Aphids: There are a number of different species of aphids most of which are familiar to the gardener. They. can -be controlled with a spray of nicotine sulphate, 1/4 tea- spoon 40 per cent nicotine sulphate in one quart of water in which 1/4 ounce of soap has been dissolved. The spray should be thoroughly ap- plied as only the aphids which are wetted will be killed. Spider Mites: The spider mites are very small and greenish in col- or. They usually feed on the un- derside of the leaves sucking the sap from the plant. Severe infes- tation will cause a white flecking or yellowing of the leaves and Pas- sibly leaf drop. They can be con- trolled with sprays of one teaspoon- ful 15 per cent Aramite wettable powder in one quart of water, or one teaspoonful 25 per cent Mala- thion wettable powder in one quart of water. ommamommogni.S.24 rohjetusser14 eid Many Picnics, Reunions By Families Throughout District DOLMAGE REUNION The fourth annual reunion of the family of the late James Dolmage was held at the Lions Park, Sea - forth, on Saturday.
