Calves and Young Sfock 
Cheapening Ration for Calves 
I have some tine grade Holstein heif¬ 
er calves about five niontlis old, largo 
and in line growing eoiidition. I am 
feeding separated milk warm from the 
separator and five pounds of oats twice 
a day to three calves, and all the clean 
bright clover hay they will eat. I wish 
to cut out the milk entirely now. What 
grain ration would you .suggest? I want 
to keep them growing right along till 
grass comes, I have two calves that are 
two months old. Is there any .substitute 
for milk that I can use that will keep 
them growing in good shape? ^lilk in 
bringing $2.L'() per hundred at the fac¬ 
tory which makes it an expensive feed 
for calves. These calves cat oats and 
hay greedil.v. o. A. k. 
Wisconsin. 
Wean the five-months calves gradually. 
Make grain ration for them ont of eipial 
jiarts cornmeal or hominy, ground oats 
and bran, and one-half part oil meal. 
Add one per cent, coarse fine salt to mix¬ 
ture. Sujiply calve.s with all water and 
hay they will eat. 
A good homemade calf meal to substi¬ 
tute for the skim-milk for the younger 
calves is made of one part middlings, 
three parts hominy, one part soluble 
blood flour and one part oil meal. Mix 
and use at rate of one pound to eight 
pounds warm water. Feed same as skim- 
milk. Tlpit is, if calf is getting If? 
pounds skim-milk daily, feed two pounds 
of the mixture in If? pounds of warm 
water. (’alvcs should at first receive 
part skim-milk and part grind, that is, 
work on to it gradually. ii. f. .r. 
Calf With Bloat 
1 have been feeding two calves, one 
born fletober and one November last. I 
gave them third cutting Alfalfa hay and 
what grain they woubl eat from a mix¬ 
ture of lf)f) pounds gluten, 125 pouiul.s 
dried brewers’ grains and 50 pounds oil 
meal. When they were able to eat two 
(piarts each, daily, 1 stopped increasing 
the grain but gave them all the Alfalfa 
they could cat; when they were on hay 
ami grain and well started 1 dropped 
the milk and gave them about what 
water I thought they needed with the 
chill taken olV, always feeding and water¬ 
ing three times daily, until about three 
weeks ago I began watering twice daily 
and gradually ebanged ty cold water, in¬ 
creasing the amount until each had a 
jiailfnl night and morning, perhaps 10 
tpiarts to the pail. I alway.s feed the 
Alfalfa first and an hour or so later 
water and feed grain, with a pinch of 
salt added. They appeared normal this 
morning; at noon one was bioati’d bad¬ 
ly and d(‘ad, the other apiiears all right, 
(.’an yon give the cause? a. w. V. 
New York. 
While I would not he absolutely cer¬ 
tain, there is probably no doubt that tlin 
combination of a paunch full of Alfalfa 
hay followi'd by the wat<‘r caii.sed the 
bloating in your calf. The bloating is 
common when stock is tiiriu’d into grcini 
.\lfalfa and clover which is still wet witji 
dew. Individuals vary considerably in 
their sirscejitibility to this trouble, and 
that would account for the other calf 
not being affected. It would be better 
to feed .some mixed hay with the Alfalfa, 
or give water before feeding the Alfalfa.

Ration for Freshening Heifer 
We have a heifer coming fresh in about 
two or three weeks, will you advise the 
jirojier food for her? I am now feeding 
im.v, bran and cornstalks, but realize this 
is not sntHcient. (i. B. l>. 
New Jersey. 
It i.s impossible to balance a satisfac¬ 
tory ration where mixed hay and corn 
fodder are the onl.v roughages available. 
Feed what hay and corn fodder the cow 
will clean up, feeding about three times as 
mucii hay as corn fodder. Make up grain 
ration of two jiarts cottonseed meal, two 
jiarts gluten feed, two jiarts bran and 1 
jier cent. salt. Feed this grain at rate of 
a jiound to four to five lbs. of milk jiro- 
duced daily. Feed two to four pounds of 
dried las-t jinlj) daily soaked in three 
times its weight of liot watm-. ’I’liis will 
add succulence to the ration and you will 
find the cow will ndish it and do bi’tter 
for it. ir. F. J. 
Improving Ration 
Will yon give me a halaiiced ration 
for my threi'-year-old Holstein heifer, 
due shortly? I have mixed hay, bran, 
hominy, cornmeal and jieanut. n. A. 
Now Y’ork. 
It is impossible to balance a ration 
for your heifer from the feeds yon men¬ 
tion. One feed yon mention as jieanut. 
Assuming that it i.s peanut meal the best 
yon can do is to make uji a ration of 2 
jiarts jieanut meal, 2 jiarta bran, 1 part 
hominy or cornmeal, and 1% salt. (Jive 
cow all the hay she will cat. ir. f. j. 
Saves 
Time! 
The faster you turn the 
Sharpies, the quicker 
you finish skimming I For instance: If 
by turning a Sharpies at 45 revolutions 
per minute you get through separating 
in 15 minutes, you can get through in 
10 minutes by simply increasing the speed to 
about 55 revolutions. The Sharpies is the 
only separator that can be “hurried”—a mighty 
handy thing when you are hurried. 
Now consider the time saved in cleaning the 
Sharpies. The bowl is the most simple in ex¬ 
istence—just one piece in it, no discs or blades. 
Simply run a brush through it once or twice— 
and cleaning’s done! 
Furthermore, the Sharpies requires oiling 
only once a month—and in only one 
place. Just pour a little oil into the en¬ 
closed gear case—more time saved !

the only separator that skims clean at widely-varying speeds 
—the only separator that delivers cream of unvarying thick¬ 
ness—all speeds 
—the only separator that you can turn faster and finish skim¬ 
ming quicker 
—the only separator with just one piece in the bowl—no discs, 
easiest to clean 
—the only separator with knee-low supply tank and a once-a- 
month oiling system 
Remember that all separators lose considerable cream when 
turned below speed— except Sharpies! The Sharpies gets all 
the cream no matter whether you turn it fast or slow. It 
saves up to $ 100 a year more than other separators. Cordially 
welcomed by women, owing to its easy turning and easy 
cleaning. Over a million Sharpies users. Write for catalog to

SILQ 
The Silo that fills a long felt want. Re-1 
suits obtained by the use of a Metal Silo' 
-j are far beyond expectation. Silage con¬ 
tains by far a larjjer percentage of food value, more 
uniform preservation, taste and color, naturally, fa 
more jiroductive in results. The most Permanent Silo because it 
CAN’T BLOW DOWN, BUCKLE, TWIST OR COLLAPSE 
Resists fire to the fullest extent and is storm proof. No skilled labor re¬ 
quired to erect it. Can be increased in height any time. 
Special lN-DE-STR-UCT-0 Metal is warranted not to be affected by acid 
in silage or climatic conditions. The users of Metal Silos are our referen¬ 
ces. Our Testimonial and Construction Catalog is worth asking for, especi¬ 
ally to those who desire to erect a Silo from the standpoint of perniananev 
and 999& food value preservation. Agents wanted who can produce results.
