C.—Legislation to eliminate unnecessary brokerage trans- actions, to facilitate a wide distribu tion of information on market condi tions and strengthen the powers of the government in its price investigations was recommended by the Federal Trade commission in a report on the industrial situation, drawn up at the request of President Harding and made public here. “Open-price associations,” which operate within the laws to keep their respective members advised confident fally of one another’s price schedules were accused by the commission of contributing to the maintenance of un duly high retail prices. It was suggested that means must be found to reduce costs of necessi ties, such as fuel and housing, before other commodities can come back to normal. “It should be said,” the report con tinued, “that following the disordered condition of the world’s affairs, a shrinkage in values is inevitable, and that normal conditions will be the more quickly restored if the producer, the laborer, the manufacturer, the job ber and the retailer will each share at once in the unavoidable loss, and furthermore any effort by any element to place its share of the common loss on the shoulders of others, and parti- cularly on the consumer, can but re- sult in a continuation of the conditions under which the country is suffering.” | BRIEF GENERAL NEWS | The nomination of former Repre- | sentative John J.

The feeding of a beef calf from birth until it is weaned is a very sim- ple matter if its mother gives milk enough nourish it properly. The principal part of the calf's ration, therefore, may be cheaply and safely to provided by giving its mother the proper feeds for the production of milk. Do not feed the cow too heavily on grain soon after she has dropped the calf While it is important that the f have plenty of milk at all times, It should never have too much, especially soon after birth, The fol lowing suggestions are designed par. ticularly for select animals chosen es- pecially for breeding purposes, says the United States Department of Agri culture. A calf dropped in the fall or win- ter probably will do better If kept sep- arated from its mother and allowed to suck night and morning. In summer it should be provided with a lot for exercise and pasture In the daytime, and during the winter with a well bedded box stall at night. When the calf is from four to six weeks old it ts a good plan to bring it from the lot early in the morning, allow It to suck, then take it to the pen or stall to be fed some grain. It should also be suckled at night before grain is fed, then taken out to the grass lot or be fed a little hay in the stall. To be kept contented when away from its mother a calf should run with other calves, A bull calf should be separated from the heifers at the age of three or four months. If the calf is dropped late in winter or spring it may be more convenient to allow it with its dam for several pasture, Since milk is nature's food for the calf jt would be reasonable to suppose | that milk alone is sufficient feed for it. In all « however, it should be provided with a little grain in addition to milk, If both the cow and the calf have good pasture and the cow ts giv Ing milk enough, the calf will grow to weaning age in good condition with less grain than otherwise would be needed. Frequently, however, the amounts of both pasture and milk are somewhat limited. Then the feeding of more grain is absolutely essential | for best results When from four to six weeks old a calf may be taught to eat grain. This may be done by feeding It In a creep | Good Breeding and Quality Are Nec- essary for Best Returns With Beef Calves. or pen to which the cow does not have | access, Wheat bran is an excellent feed for this purpose. A good ration for the first few weeks would be coarsely ground corn, oats and wheat bran, equal parts by weight, with a small quantity of oil meal added every few days. Feed the calf at first one- fourth of a pound of grain a day, or just what it will eat up clean, giving one-half of the amount night and morning. of whole oats four parts, shelled corn two parts, and ofl meal one part by weight shonld be substituted for the ground fe The calf should be eat- ds a dev when six months old, or apr» >x- a ly one-half to one pound of , sin 00 pounds live weight. Unless the cow has been giving suf- ficient milk previous to this age of the | calf, it may be advisable to provide a | nurse cow for the calf. To make the most satisfactory growth the calf should have a liberal supply of milk for several months longer. This is especially true if it Is to make a maxi- mum growth and show to the best ad vantage when the fair season arrives. By being fed in the way described, tt should make « continuous growth from birth. If weaned properly, so that none of the calf fat or bloom is lost, the chances for it to grow out and make a profitable and useful animal are decidedly in its favor, The calf is old enough to wean when from eight to twelve months old. Weaning should take from 12 to 15 days, and should be done gradually. When old enough to wean allow it to suck once a day for a week, then every other day for four or five days, and increase the Interval unt no milk at all is allowed.
