DEVELOPING THE HEIFER—I. PROF. J. A. M'CLEAN, Dept. Animal Husbandry Mass. State Agri. : College. Improvement in ‘the dairy can be -achieved only /by raising and develop- ing heifers into cows that are superior to their mothers. The proper selection of ‘the sire is~ene of the greatest in- fluences in the improvement of -ihe herd, but of equal importance is the growing and developing of the young things after they are born, for the best bred calf may velop into a scrub cow if it receive scrub treatment. that the calf is born right, due care must be taken particularly @uying its first three months. For the firgt twenty-four hours, let it suck its meother. This is better for both the ©cow and the calf. After the first day remove the youngster from its mother and for at least ten ddys feed upon whole milk. If the calf is doing well at the end of that time skimmilk mny, gradually be substituted for the whole milk, till by the end of three weeks the calt is entirely upon skimmilk As moon as the calf will begin to eat grain feed . a . mixture bran, corn and crushed oats mixed in equal parts by’ ‘weight allowing it to have as mucl it will clean up twice a day. The skim- | milk should be continued until six | months of age, although the amount should never greatly exceed fifteen pounds per day. . Develop Digestive Capacity. At about six weeks of age calves generally begin to eat roughage, and it ! is very important to furnish them with : as much roughage of excellent quality | as they will eat, for hay or grass is| necessary for the proper development ! calf. We want our dairy cows great .digestive capacity; to get this they must begin early to eat €ood hay. There is no better hay than alfafa of high quality. Where it is not obtainable mixed clover hay or rowen will be found most excellent. To the above feeds add healthful conditions wuch as comfortable, moderately warm Quarters, fresh air, cleanliness, sun- | light (clean feed pails and feed i troughs or buckets are absolutely es- | sential) and exercising opportunilies | and at the end of six months the heifer ; should have made an excellent start. | ‘Most calves are dropped in the spring | of the year; yet I believe better re- sults are obtained if the heifers drop- ' ped in the early fall are kept for the herd, for calves dropped then are nearly six months old when grass comes and are then large enough to withstand flies and other summer troubles and can make the best use of the grass. Spring calves will do as well if kept in the stables during the first summer, for like children, they are subject to slight disorders, which although not serious should not be neglected. \ THE WATER SUPPLY PROBLEM Hew Shall it Be Pumped and Stored? Those who choose to live beyond the town water supply must devise their ewn water system, and this supply will come either from a stream, spring er a dug or driven well and will, in all probability, have to be pumped to a supply tank for distribution. TIf there %s a never failing stream on the prop- erty with a sufficient fall a hydraulic ram may be used and is, perhaps, the most economical way of pumping, for if properly installed it can be depend- ed upon to do its own work continu- ously and with but little attention. The fall of water required to operate a ram jis from two feet upward, and it will: push water to a distance of 500 feet and elevate it thirty feet for ev- i ery foot of fall. Heving no stream a driven well is safer to use than a shailow well! (which draws its water from the up- per strata of soil and may easily be- eome contaminated), and a windmill will provide an inexpensive power, re- quiring only an occasional oiling, painting and the wind to turn the fan, but, as the latter is unreiiable, be sure to provide a generous sized tank. Different Kinds of Engines. There are seyeral kinds of engines for pumping water. The hot air en- gine is ‘built especially for such work and has no superior (except the elec- tric pump where the current is cheap) and Is economical to operate, the fuel being either coal or kerosene. Gaso- line engines can, of course, be put to many different uses, among them pumping water. They come in all| sizes and, like the gas engine, are| economical to operate. On farms | where a gasoline engine is in demand | a portable one may be purchased and, when needed for pumping, belted to the pump by a shaft and puilly. The pump in this case should be placed in a small house over the well. The electric pump has the advantage of starting and stopping automatically —a decided point in its favor when | used in connection with air pressure | water storage tanks.

Pullet Freedom. PROF. H. R LEWIS, New Jersey Agri, Experiment Station. ‘ Of all the problems confronting poultrymen the successful rearing ‘of growing stock is the most vital. The question is one of inducing a continu- ous rapid development from ratching time to maturity. ‘ Success depends upon giving grow- ing pullets and cockerels ideal environ- mental conditions, such as an extended range, plenty of natural shade, fresh air houses and abundance of green succuient food material in additon to a wellpbalanced grain ration. { Freé range is ideal, being conductive uniform and economical trnvrth.' food material in the form of grubs, insects and green grass. The more range given the birds the more sanitary their surroundings, for the droppings will be well distributed and will more quickly leach into the soil. ‘When necessary to closely confine | growing stock during the summer the area available should be divided into two runs and each alternately seeded to green crops. Shade Essential. Adequate shade is also essential, giving protection against the rays of the sun, and a growing bush or tree is the bes, as more moisture is present ‘than where artificial shelters of boards or burlap are used. The orchard is a good pX&e to rear pullets, ahd the cornfield is another portion of the av- erage farm which furnishes ideal range. Sunflowers, corn, castor beans and soy beans are some annuals which can well be planted for shade, and peach, apple, and plum trees make ex- cellent, permanent shade. A constant supply of green food is necessary for the best development, and where birds are on free range there is usually plenty of greensward, though on restricted areas crops, such as peas and oats, buckwheat, soy beans, rye, vetch and crimson clover, can be seeded to provide a continuous supply. During hot summer nights all the protection which chicks need are cheap shelters, relatively wide open, and hence cool and well ventilated. Shed roof shelters, open in front and both sides, with provision for confining! birds. against enemies, is all that is| necessary, and a shelter 6 by 8 feet wiil house fifty pullets to maturity. The food supply should be deter- mined by the condition of the range. A well balanced dry mash, kept in large hoppers, supplemented by corn and wheat (equal parts), fed broad- cast morning and night with plenty of fresh water are the esentials for con- tinuous growth and early maturity. WHAT DOES THE CROP NEED? The Growing Apprec: t An Experiment Plot Furnishes the Answer. P. K. EDWARDS. One way of solving the many inter- problems in the soil and plant kingdom is by an ex-} periment plot. -Here light may be ob-! tained as to the natural *peculiarities | of soil, or the special effects of fertil- | izer on certain crops, or in what de~l gree to supplement stable manure for fertilizer, or under what fixed condi- | tions the ambitious garden lover may ! obtain the most gratifying results for flowers and vegetables. In starting this miniature farm, then, use sub- | stantial stakes at the corners of the plot and mark them plainly 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, leaving a space of two feet be- | | tween each two plots to prevent the plants on one plot from feeding om | the other. Make each plot 6 by 24 feet and plant the same crop on all: the different plots. Take winter peo-! tatoes, for example. On plot 1 spread | 10 pounds of dried blood and 15 pounds acid phosphate mixed (where the | amount used Is so small it can bei distributed more evenly by mixing it with its weight in earth): on plo® 2 spread 7% pounds sulphate of potash‘ and dried blood mixed; on plot 3 use| { no fertilizer; on plot 4 use 7% pounds ; potash and 15 pounds acid phosphate mixed; con plot 5 use 73 pounds pot- ash, 15 pounds aclid phosphate and 10' pounds dried blood, and on plot § use ! only stable manure. Take great care! not to sow any fertilizer on the spaces ' between the plots, and after the fer-| tilizer has been spread harrow the plots thoroughly lengthwise. Comparing the Plots. The blank plot 3 must not in any wav be overlooked or neglected, for with it are to be compared all tne other plots in order to see just wnat bave been the benefits derived for fertilizing. To make clear what such an experiment may teach, suppose, for instance, the yield on plot 3 where no fertilizer was applied, iz represented by the number 100; the yield on plot 1 by the number 150; on plot 2, 160: on 4, 140; on 5, 175. TWith these numbers it is proved each of the three fertiliz- | ers is beneficial, for were it otherwise tilizers were used, would not have been greater than og plots 1, 2, and 4, on each of which only two fertilizers were used. Tt is always of importance to keep a notebook, jotting down ev MADE \N A Perfect Feed for Q\assue Meal Horses and Cows PIGS, SHEEP and POULTRY The Leading Veterinary in Lawrence says: ENCLUAND Dear Sir: horses tha were off their | have given it a thorough vou direct.
