Overfeed ing causes digestive troubles. These are some of the suggestions made by the department of animal husbandry of the New York State Agricultural college at Ithaca on the raising and care of calves. The first thing to remember, says the college. Is that no calf should be raised for dairy use unless it comes of first-clas- s parentage from a puredam. bred sire and a Granting this heritage, the dairy calf will respond to, and should receive, careful handling. It is best to let the calves stay with their mothers for two or three days after birth. Then they should be taught to drink from a bucket. Care should be taken to see that the pail is clean for, as every farmer knows. calves are subject to digestive dl orders. The calf should get from 6 to 12 pounds of whole milk daily for the first three weeks and then may be gradually switched over to skim milk and a little grain. Most farmers find it best to give the calf its grain im mediately after It has finished drinking the milk. A good concentrate allow ance will contain muscle and bone-building nutrients and will contain some fat to replace a part or mat abstracted from the milk. Here are three rations which have been found good: Corn 3 parts, bran 3 parts, oats 9 parts, oil' meal 1 part. Corn 5 parts, oats or bran 8 parts, oil meal 1 part. Oats 3 parts, bran 1 part, oil meal 1 part. ' g self-mad- e I h Intertillage Practical Plan tO Destroy Weeds grow food plants and weeds at the same time. That's been demonstrated many, many times. The weeds must be destroyed and . Inter tillage is the only practical way of destroying them. Since most all land Is weedy this theory helps us but little. But the question is, is this the ory correct for all kinds of soil? The problem of tillage for sandy or alluvial soils is quite different than for clay or heavy soils. Crops grow ing on sandy or alluvial soils may get along quite well without tillage if there are no weeds, but how about the clay soils? Individual farmers have tried this and, as a result, they got no corn or beets, even where there were no weeds. Sandy or alluvial soil and any soil containing abundance of humus will remain mellow without til lage, but clay soli settles down hard kiid Is almost Impervious to air and moisture. Where it is kept cultivated this does not happen and better crops are secured. A man considered an authority on soil problems once said: "Weeds are a good thing, they're a blessing to most farmers, for If there were no weeds, people would not cultivate as much as they should. Cultivating not only kills the weeds but it Improves the physical condition of the soil. We . can't John K.

Before much soil is drawn up, the bunches should be tied. This is quickly done by beginning at one end of a row with a ball of twine, one end of which is tied to a stake driven In the ground. Beginning with the first bunch of cel ery, draw the leaves together with one hand, and with the other make a turn of the string about that bunch, then on to the next without cutting the string, merely keeping It tight between stalks. In this way the leaves are held compactly together witlrout being tied too tightly. Not before frost should more earth be thrown up, for it tends to rot the stalks If banked while the weather is warm. Celery will stand a killing frost or even a light freeze without Injury, but will be destroyed if frozen hard. When the earth is cool, some time between the first frost and the freezing of the ground, the soil should be drawn up from each side to within a few inches of the top. Double rows will save some labor in banking. Some make a practice of adding more earth with the npproach of cold weather, then a covering of litter or corn fodder, so that the celery may be left where It grew through the winter storage period. This method requires a great deal of labor loth In storing and taking out, and Is not to be recommended.
