Plant With These Drills 
THRILL-PLANTED fields produce greater 
yields. Remember that at planting time 
this 5'ear, when every bushel added to your harvest 
field counts. 
The use of Empire Jr., Hoosier, or Kentucky Drills means 
not only more grain per acre, but better prices. Drill-plant¬ 
ing improves the quality of the grain, for when seed is proper¬ 
ly planted, at even depth, and covered as it should be, it 
comes up all at the same time, grows uniformly, and ripens 
evenlj% Such grain grades high and brings good prices. 
The dril^ that will do the best work for you is in one of 
these lines. * It is handled by some local dealer not far from 
your farm where you can see it, or you can find out all about 
it by writing us for drill catalogues. There are drills for 
planting every kind of grass or grain, with or without ferti¬ 
lizer, in every kind of soil. 
The dealer, or the catalogue, will tell you all about feeds, 
furrow openers, bearings, attachments, etc. All we can tell 
5 ’ou here is that you will find just the drill for your work in 
the Empire Jr., Hoosier, or Kentucky lines, and that without 
any trouble or expense on your part beyond the writing of a 
letter or post card. Why not write it now, before you forget?

Help Save the Canadian Crops 
When Our Own Harvest Requirements are Completed 
United States Help Badly Needed 
Harvest Hands Wanted 
Military demands from a limited population have made such a 
scarcity of farm help in Canada that the appeal of tlic Canadian Gov¬ 
ernment to the United States Government for 
Help to Harvest the Canadian Grain Crop of 1918 
Meets with a request for all available assistance to go forward as 
soon as our own crop is secured. 
The Allied Armies must be fed and therefore it is necessary to 
save ever}' bit of the crop of the Continent—American and Canadian. 
Those who respond to this appeal will get a 
Warm Welcome, Good Wages, Good Board 
and Find Comfortable Homes 
A card entitling the holder to a rate of one cent per mile from 
Canadian Boundary points to destination and return will be given to 
all Harvest Applicants. Every facility will be afforded for admission 
into Canada and return to the United States. Information as to 
wages, railway rates and routes, may be had from the

I Raising a Calf 
{ How to Raise a Calf in Order to Insure a Good Cow 
I A man once asked a fanner.s’ institute 
! lecturer wiicn was the best time to start 
j in a calf—Fall nr Spring; and the insti- 
as a whole milk one, though such are 
raised cheaper. 
The .seoret of I)ig. thrifty, glossy calves 
is never to let them .stop growing. If 
scours threuteu, take all food away at 
once for 24 liours. giv*' a dose of castor 
oil and an enema, and dilute the milk 
with half lime-water until his stomach 
is .‘itraightened out. Clean, sterilized 
utensils, are absolutely necessary. Heifer 
calves from scrub mothers are not worth 
raising today, as it costs at least .^lOO at 
present feed prices to get ;i calf to ma¬ 
turity. Second cuttings of fine clover hay 
are best for calves, and should he in front 
of them all the time. There is ;ui old 
saying and a true one that “you can toll a 
good dairyman by his calves.”

Buying the Family Pig 
Will you give me some advice on 
raising pigs? I thought I would got the 
Cliestor Whites. Which do you think 
would pay me to do, get two pairs from 
the Government or liu.v them my.self 
and bny the feed? 3'liey tell me "that 
the Government will liny the feed and 
furnish the pigs. Can you teJl me Just 
Avhero to write about it to find out .all 
tJie details? I am a widoAV l.id.v .•lud 
TAvdev Girl of Tfnrhor JTill fid 58652: Jfecord 785.8!) Ponvdn Jhittcrfat 
tute man replied, “Whenever you have a 
good one.” This being the case, and since 
it is understood that a heifer calf from a 
good pi’oducing dam is not Avorth raising 
today unless she is Avell raised, Ave are 
ready to trace the mctliods Avhich have 
got successful results by numerous pro¬ 
fessional breeders. The c.alf is alloAvcd to 
suck its mother once after birth in order 
to get the colostrum, Avhich moves its 
boAvels properly and starts it oii its AA'ay. 
It is assumed, of course, that the mother 
is a healthy animal and in no way dis¬ 
eased. The calf should then be removed 
from its mother and in 12 hour.s time be 
given tAvo quarts of ncAV milk, not neces¬ 
sarily from its oavu dam, Avhieh it must 
be taught to drink from a sterilized 
Imckot. To teach a calf to drink, give 
him your finger to suck and let him fol- 
loAv it into the milk. A little patience 
here is all that Avill be needed. Pushing 
doAviiAvard on a calf’s head is Avaste of 
time, as his natural inclination is to 
raise his head to suck the udder. A calf 
fed three times a day for a month cannot 
help hut get a good .start. Most dairymen, 
hoAvcvei', content themselves Avith the 
tAvice daily ration. Tavo quarts at a feed¬ 
ing or four in 24 hours of ueAv milk can 
be continued for one Aveek. When it is 
six Aveeks old it Avill take six quarts or 
more a day. 
In tAvo or three Aveeks Ji calf Avill begin 
to eat grain if .some is placed in his 
month after drinking. If his grain is 
mixed with some silage or hou.se peelings 
he Avill learn to eat it more readily and 
can he given all he can clean up of grain 
at a feeding. The best grain mixture for 
gi'OAving calves is equal parts of bran, 
hominy, ground oats and oil meal. When 
the calf is six mouths old, he should be 
weaned from his milk and be drinking 
pure Avater. At three months begin to 
dilute the new milk Avith a little Avater, 
gradually AA'orking np to no milk at .six. 
A skim-milk calf can never be so thrifty 
need tlie money, that i.s Avliy I :im .ask¬ 
ing your advice and Avould like tn ri‘:i- 
lize a.s much as I could out of them.

Some one has gh’eu you the Avroiig 
infoi-mation. The Government . -Avili 
not provide you Avith pigs ami feeil

who think they can obtain livestock 
free from some Government depart¬ 
ment, but they will be disappointed. 
Some of the so-called associations 
Avhich pretend to sell livestock “on 
shares” are responsible for these 
stories. Y'ou Avill haA'e to buy the pigs

Dogs and Sheep 
In regard to the clog nuisance men¬ 
tioned on page 878 I aa-ouIcI advise the 
people Avho are ‘bothered to do :is Ave do in 
Virginia; use shotguns. I do not know 
Avhat the New York hnv is. hut here we 
can kill any dog that comes on our hind 
Avithout his master, and there is no re¬ 
dress. This law is generally carried out. 
If such a .system Avere followed there 
Avould be less claims for dead sheep in 
Noav Y'ork. I Avould say to tho.se aaIio 
take .such A’i.sitor.s into their homes that 
they should consider the loss of life and 
the destruction of property caused by 
such animals. M. A. K.
