Cleiu*Oii College Weekly Notes for Fornter> and Dairymen. (Those notes are prepared by tin dairy division of Clenrson College, which will be ?lad to answer any questions pertaining; to dairying). The calf she old be fed some grain such as corn meal by the time it is two weeks old. There are laws to protect many sorts of animals from hunters, but no laws to protect good dairy calves from butchers. Farmers who had slluge to feed to their cows this winter know now the value of a succulent winter feed. A calf should not be fed whole milk after it has reached the age of four weeks. At two weeks, begin to re? place whole milk by warm skim milk. Jf a calf is to be dehorned it should be dehorned when not more than three days old, with caustic potash. It ia just as important to feed the calf from a clean bucket as it is to use a clean bucket for milking. Calf scours are due to overfeeding, feeding cold milk, or using dirty milk. Avoiding these things is gen? erally to avoid scours. To obtain the best results, one should provide warm stalls for calves and not subject them to sudden changes in temperature. One of the most frequently asked questions is, when to wean the calf. It should be weaned by the time it is three days old. It would seem that every man would realize the folly of having the profits of a good dairy herd eaten up by a few "boarders," which he could easily discover and eliminate from the herd. In all dairy breeds will be found champion milkers, good milkers and boarders. The successful dairy herd is more a matter of feeds than of breeds. In every breed will be found both well bred and ill bred animals. Clemson College will be glad to answer any questions about the methods of the cooperative cream? ery. The creamery is about to es? tablish two new cream routes which will add 25 to 35 patron* and about 176 cows. Try to bring about such conditions in the dairy herd and dairy house that at the end of each month some change for the better can be noticed.

TRY. i Prof, {tare Urgee Poultrymen to "Do It Now" und suggests to Then the Thlnga to Do, L'pon what a poultryman doei or fails to do at thil season depends in j large measure whether the year will j be for him a success or failure. This, says F. C. Hare, poultry husbandman Of Clemson College, is the season of all seasons when a man who breeds fowls needs to be constantly work? ing with his birds and Prof. Hare has made up a "Do it now" list in which he offers to poultry breeders, some brief suggestions of tasks that await them in the early spring. These suggestions follow: Decide to increase egg production next season. Give this problem all the time you can spare for it. Here are some of the ways of going about it: Breed from your best layers if pos? sible; if you cannot distinguish them, then select the hens with red combs, good space (about three fingers' width) between the pelvic bones, and about four fingers' width from pelvic bones to the rear end of the breast bone. Mate such layers with a good, vig? orous male, allowing him from ten to fifteen pullets. Dreed from young males rather than from two-year or three-year males. Dust the sitting hen with insect powder before giving her the eggs. On the eighteenth day of incuba? tion, immerse the eggs in water of 10G degrees temperature (just warm to the hand). This moistens the membranes or skins inside the shell. Feed the baby chicks?when thirty hours old?a hard boiled egg, cut up and rolled in oatmeal until it is of a crumbly consistency. Feed them the egg on a piece of cardboard times daily, giving only a little each time. Keep dry wheat bran before them if you have it. Feed a mixture of grits, oatmeal, millet seed and rice three times daily, scattering it In litter to make the chicks exercise. Buy a few sittings of eggs for hatching, or some baby chicks, if you wish to improve your stock. Clean fend whitewash your poultry house. Grease the hens with mercurial ointment to kill lice. Buy the thirty three per cent, ointment and rub a , j small portion, of half the size of a per1., '.ii the Reap under tin bird's v$nt. Qreaee a siiace f the elae of Quarter-dollar piece and you will kill ell '.'no lice on the f< WL One npplfd cation monthly i.> sufficient. If in doubt as to how to carry out any of these suggestions, write to Clemson College and all questions that you ask will receive prompt at? tention. AMERICAN citizen killed.
