Insulated Against Rust 
The more zinc on the wire, the longer the wire fence will last. 
Wires used in Zinc Insulated Fences receive more than 
DOUBLE the usual heat treatment in the zinc bath—the 
proper and only way to give a heavier coating of galvanizing 
with lasting quality. 
This better process not only applies more zinc to the wire, 
but makes the coating uniform and inseparably a part of the 
steel. It insulates the wire with more zinc and with no 
cracking, flaking or peeling off. 
All the following brands of Farm Fence 
AMERICAN, ANTHONY, ROYAL,

Vealing Calves 
(Continued from Page 046) 
[saturating the stump of the calf’s navel 
with tincture of iodine at birth and then 
dusting it with powdered starch or finely 
sifted slaked lime. Repeat the treatment 
daily until the navel is completely dried 
and no raw spot remains. See to it that 
the calves are kept in a clean, dry, well 
[ventilated sunny box stall or pen and as 
[soon as they are doing well have them 
run outdoors daily in the sun for an hour 
or two, when the weather is not incle¬ 
ment. It has been found that the direct 
rays of the sun are essential to health 
land the development of a strong bony 
[frame. This is most important as regards 
calves that are to be raised for breeding 
purposes. If poor success is had in rais¬ 
ing calves for veal by the nursing process 
jit would be better to feed the calves milk 
by hand and to have mixed milk in pref¬ 
erence to whole Jersey milk. It has been 
found, in such feeding that one should 
give not over one and one-half gallons of 
milk by the end of the first week, two 
gallons by the end of the second week, 
two and one-half gallons by the end of 
the third week and three gallons by the 
end of the fourth week, in three feeds 
daily, as a day’s allowance. See that all 
milking utensils are kept perfectly ster¬ 
ilized. If any derangement of the bowels 
[starts lessen the milk and to each pint 
[of it add one teaspoonful of a mixture of 
one-half an ounce of formalin and 15 y 2 
Jounces of boiled water, to be kept in a 
colored bottle. Isolate any calf that 
scours. Keep the calf pen clean, disin¬ 
fected and freshly bedded.

Ration Lacks Needful Minerals 
My neighbor has four cows which have 
plenty of tine hay and a small amount of 
grain. They are gnawing the barn door ; 
all the boards and timbers they can get 
at. Will you tell what substance they 
| need l p t 
New Hampshire. 
It is most likely that the four cows in 
[question have been pastured on an area 
where the soil is sour and deficient in 
lime, thus making it impossible for the 
cows to be properly nourished during the 
pasture season. When the Winter ap¬ 
proached they were confined in yards 
given a generous amount of hay that was 
produced on poor unproductive land, and 
most likely fed an insufficient amount of 
grain. 'Consequently their appetites be¬ 
came ravenous and, owing to a lack of 
mineral matter and general balance in 
the ration and roughage supplied, they 
have evidenced this deficiency in the way 
[mentioned. 
It would be well to sprinkle the hay 
with ground limestone, 5 lba of the 
[ground limestone for each 100 lbs, of hay 
fed. The ground limestone can be kept 
in a barrel or box adjacent to the feeding 
room, and every time that hay is fed to 
these cows the desired amount of ground 
limestone can be sprinkled over the hay. 
If the cows do not have access to salt 
|make such an arrangement. 
The utilization of equal parts of 
| steamed bone meal and common salt 
makes a good licking mixture. Some¬ 
times it is advisable to provide so-called 
rock salt in addition to the common salt 
[which is used for this purpose. 
It has been my observation that a 
| great deal of the hay which is produced 
in New Hampshire and certain other of 
the New England States on the average 
run of soil is of poor quality, relatively 
high in fiber, and notably deficient in 
mineral matter. Of course this does not 
apply to farm land which is regularly 
worked and where the crops are properly 
|rotated, and where the soil is limed, fer¬ 
tilized, and properly cultivated. This 
[condition I encounter quite frequently in 
territories of this character, and is uu- 
|doubtedly the cause of this annoyance. 
As to the grain ration, it would be 
[well to make sure that it is derived from 
a rather wide variety of basic ingredients. 
A ration carrying about 20 per cent of 
protein would serve, and the protein 
should come not only from cereal grains 
but from such concentrates as cotton¬ 
seed meal and linseed meal. The follow¬ 
ing combination is proposed: 350 lbs. 
hominy, 150 lbs. buckwheat middlings, 
150 lbs. linseed meal. 150 lbs. gluten feed, 
100 lbs. bran. 100 lbs. cottonseed meal.
