Modest Request
One young man who was highly sen-

had in his speech went to a stammer-
ers' Institute and asked for a course
of treatments. The professor asked
him If he wanted a full or a partial
(By PROF. JAMES WILSON, South Da-
kota Agricultural Colle*e.)
Breeders of Shorthorn cattle should
be Interested In the cost of producing
a Shorthorn bull to the age of twelve
months. Of course this varies In dif-
ferent localities and with different
breeders, but having produced hun-
dreds of purebred calves, I appreciate
the fact that some do not care to have
their twelve months' old calves as
large or as heavy as this one was, but
for early maturity the calves must be
fed. I know of no better place to crib
grain than in purebred Shorthorn
calves—even if It does cost two and
three cents a pound.
Interested in Cost
A few years ago I was Interested In
knowing how much it actually cost the
state to produce a bull at twelve
months of age at the pace we were go-
ing, so I selected a calf that was ten
days old and weighed him for the trial.
A dally record was kept of his feed,
also that of his mother, and he weighed
every 30 .days. He received Just or-
dinary attention, no more than hun-
dreds of bulls that I have fed of this
breed under similar conditions. This
calf was born December 7, 1912. He
received his mother's milk (no nurse
cows; I would not give much for the
cow that cannot nurse her own calf),
and because of his age was not al-
lowed to run with her and the re-
mainder of the herd when she was
turned on grass. May 16, the following
year. The mother Is a pure Scotch
cow of less than medium scale and
only an average milk producer. Bull
calves of this age do not do well when
turned with the herd In the spring to
fight files and worry all summer.
Grazing In the evening would have
been all right for this calf, but not
having a suitable pasture he was kept
in the yard day and night, and the
expense of growing Is probably a few
dollars more than It would have been
had we had a good pasture and sev-
eral other bulls to have turned out
with him In the evening after he was
fed his grain ration.
Attracted Attention.
There was a "something" about this
bull that attracted the attention of
everyone who saw him. His type as
Shorthorn, his size for his age, his
character as a bull, his solid dark red
color, all had a bearing. When calves
of this age have great big thick horns
and the horns have been trimmed or a
wee bit sawed off the ends It Is evi-
dence that the calf has been neglected.
Probably he has lost his mllkfat and
an effort Is being made to put it back
with grain.
The Shorthorn is the most popular
breed of cattle In the United States to-
day. The popularity must be credited
to the fact that as a breed it comes

falfa hay !n place of the wild lia.v. and
on the eighteenth of July his grain ra-
tion was changed to one-third oats,
two-thirds corn and one-tenth oil meal
by weight. On August 1 Bromus ln-
ermls hay Avas substituted for alfalfa
hay (because of scarcity of alfalfa)
and the calf at this time was eating
12 pounds of grain dally and what hay
he wanted. He was continued on this
ration until twelve months and ten
days old, when he was eutlng 10
pounds of the mixture dally. At tlils
time he weighed 1.098 i>ounds. I have
fed culves that were heavier than this
one for their ages, but they were from
better milkers than this cow.

Had I been fitting this calf for show
purposes I would have added a good
nurse cow and probably two, whlcb
would have Increased the cost materi-
ally, but new milk Is the best feed and
I would have had a much heavier and
fatter calf. Many will wonder whethei
It pays to even feed calves this way.
At the close of the record keeping we
were offered $300 by several different
parties for him and today he would
have brought $700 to $1,000 and prob-

INCREASED VALUE OF MANURE
Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. Take,
a dose of the vile, dangerous drug to-
night and tomorrow you may lose a
day's work.
Calomel Is mercury or quicksilver
which cauaes necrosis of the bonea.
Calomel, when It comes Into contact
with sour bile crashes Into It, break-
ing It up. This Is when you feel that
awful nausea and cramping. If you
feel sluggish and "all knocked out," If
your liver is torpid and bowela consti-
pated or you have headache, dizziness,
coated tongue, If breath is bad or
stomach sour, just try a spoonful of
harmless Dodson's Liver Tone
Here'a my guarantee—Go to any
drug store or dealer and get a 60-cent
bottle of Dodsota's Liver Tone. Take
a spoonful tonight and if it doesn't
straighten you right up and make you
feel fine and vigoroua by morning I
want you to go back to the store and
get your money. Dodson's Liver Tone
is destroying the sale of calomel be-
cause it is real liver medicine; en tlie-
ly vegetable, therefore it cannot sali-
vate or make you sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone will put your slug-
gish liver to work and clean your bow-
els of that sour bile and constipated
waste which Is clogging ydur system
and making you feel miserable. I guar-
antee that a bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone will keep your entire family feel-
ing fine for months. Give it to your
children. It Is harmless; doesn't gripe
and they like its pleasant taste —Adv.

good milkers, and when pnt on the

CHICKS INFESTED WITH LICE
Mother Hen 8hould Be Duated With
Some Good Inaect Powder—Make
Examination Often.
Where chicks are raised with hens,
they are likely to become Infested
with lice. If the lice get very nu-
merous, they greutly retard the chicks'
growth and may even cause their
dedth. The hen should be powdered
thoroughly with some good Insect
powder before she Is put In the coop
with the chicks, and at Intervals of
several days' or a week thereafter.
The baby chicks should be examined
for lice, particularly on the l ad,
under the wings and about the vent.
If any are found, a little grease, , such
as lard, should be rubbed on In those
places. Apply grease moderately, as
too much will Injure the chicks. The
chicks should be examined frequently
and the treatment repeated If lice are
found on them.

Just what the farmer can pay for

Milk for Calf.
When this calf was ten days old he
weighed 122 pounds, not an extra large
weight for a calf of the breed. At this
time the mother weighed 1,100 pounds.
It was our intention to feed her a ra-
tion out of which she could make milk
for the calf and maintain her own
weight, as she was not an extra fat
cow. We made a mixture of 200
pounds of oats, 50 pounds of corn, 25
pounds of bran and one-tenth as much
of the total by weight of ollmeal. The
'idea of adding the bran was to compel
more thorough mastication of the grain
before swallowing and to furnish pro-
tein and mineral matter. In addition
to this ration she was fed ordinary
wild hay. At this time the cow was on
fnll feed, or 12 pounds of the mixture
per day and all the hay she wanted. At
the end of 90 days her grain ration was
Increased to 14 pouuds of the mixture,
and at the end of 00 days the two were
eetlng 16 pounds, as the calf at this
Hip# had learned to eat grain with Its
mother. When the calf was eighty
days old he was fed in a separate box.

Grain fer Calf.
On May 10 the cow was turned to
grass and was brought In morning and
evening to nurse the calf. Her grain
ration* was gradually reduced and
that of the calf Increased. At thle time
ture has been Investigating this ques-
tion. Field tests have been made In
13 different parts of the state. Differ-
ent soils, seasons, and kinds of ma-
nure have been Included under ordl
nary methods of farming.
In practically all cases eight tons of
manure to the acre was applied once
In four year* and plowed under before
the corn crop. No manure was ap-
plied on the following crops of oats,
wheat and clover, but the yields were
all recorded. The increase in crop
yields caused by the use. of eight tons
of manure per acre were as follows:
10% bushels of corn. 5% bushels of
wheat. 4 bushels of oats, and about
7|000 pounds of' hay. This Is
average from 00 tests on corn and
a somewhat less nnmber on the
other crops. Figuring these Increases
at normal prices they are worth about
$10, or about $2 a ton for the eight
tons of manure applied. With present
prices, which are almost double those
of normal times, manure la worth cor-
respondingly more, or about $4 aton.^

MAKING MONEY WITH CAPONS
Fewle Should Rsach Full Size Before
Fattening—Bring Better Prices
Than Turkeys.
Capons should reach full size be-
fore fattening, and this should be
when they are from ten to twelve
months old.
Fstten them from two to three
weeks before marketing—two If they
are shut up In dark coops. Feed
them all they will stuff of cornmeal
and middlings, wet, but not too wet,
with milk.
Cracked bits of glsss are used as
an aid to digestion, but good grit Is
safest where the ground stuff la used.
Grit of some kind they must have.

a big profit on fowls, as turkeys do not
at any time sell as high as capons per

A Treat fer Dad.
One day someone sent me up a box
of cigars from the cigar store down-
stairs. Arthur, my office boy, brought
them In and stood near my desk while
I unwrapped the package. As I opened
the box I said to him jokingly—as he
was too youn^ to' smoke—"Will you
have a cigar, Arthur?" And Arthur re-
piled: "I don't smoke, but my father
does." So I said: "All right, take one
for your father."
He picked out a cigar and put It
away In his Inside coat pocket. As he
started away I said to him, more out
of curiosity than anything else: "What
does your father do, Arthur?"
Arthur remained allent and blushed
deeply. It made me more curious than
ever.
Come, spesk up," I urged.

Henhouses need to be ventilated In
the summer time as much as In the
winter time. The reason many hens
go to the trees to roost Is because the
honse Is too warm for them. At least
ten Inches of perch space should be
rovlded for the fowls, so that they
will not have to crowd; and the more
open the house Is during the summer
months the more contented the fowls
wfl! be. A small hole cut on the north
<dde of the poultry house about two
feet off the floor and left open during
the day and night will do n great deal
to cool the house down and to remove
snr fonl odors. All windows shonld be
removed nnd screens Inserted; also the
fn-f should lie left wide open.
