Failure in the dairy business Is due to one of three things: 1. The business Itself. 2. The cow. 3. The man. The business Is sound. This Is shown largely by the fact that the Income derived from the dairy business Is larger than the Income derived from all other classes of live stock on the farm combined. The cow must be a good cow, one that can return a good labor Income to her owner. But the greatest factor to success In the dairy business Is the man. He must know his good cows and not guess which are his good ones. He must be a dairyman, and like cows, like to work with them and like to care for them. He must not be in the dairy business Just in order to pay off that grocery bill contracted when he had no use for cows. He must remember that the fundamental basis of the dairy business lies In the maternity of the dairy cow. He must know how to feed profitably and apply that knowledge and to feed only cows that can return a profit He must use a good purebred bull to keep up the future quality of his herd. He must know how to work and apply that knowledge. Harold R. Las eelles, Fleldman, State Dairy Commi slon. TREATMENT OF CALF SCOURS Cut Feed One-HaUntil Animal comes Hungry, Then Give Dose of Castor Oil. lf Be- To treat a case of scours, cut the feed to half or even less than that until the calf has become hungry. A dose of one to three ounces of castor oil or paraffin oil will help to clean out the animal and may well be given. Three parts of formalin in a hundred parts of water, added to the ' milk at the rote of a teaspoonful to the pound of milk will sometimes relieve the trouble. Another very satisfactory treatment is to add about four to five drops of fluid extract of gelsemlum to about one ounce of paraffin or castor oil and give It to the calf before each feeding of milk. It is always advisable to reduce the milk to a half or a third and divide that reduced quantity into from two to four feedings a day. KEEP ALL HEIFERS GROWING Young Animals Are Unduly Neglected by Many Dairymen Feed Silage and Legume Hay. Returns get our attention. Possibly for this reason the heifer calves are unduly neglected. But this stock should be kept growing normally. With silage and clover or alfalfa hay, one should feed each heifer from two to five pounds of grains per day. If no ailage Is available, feed two pounds of corn dally with all the clover or alfalfa hay the heifers will con sume. With silage and no legume hay, a good ration consists of a portion of silage and fodder or mixed hay with a grain mixture consisting of equal parts of com and linseed meal. farm-grow- FALL AND n SPRING CALVING Three Years' Test Conducted by Mis sissippi Expert to Determine Advantages. Results of three years' work to de termine the advantages of spring and fall calving with dairy cattle, made by 3. 8. Meore of the Mississippi ex periment station, show that cows calving In the fall produced an average of 172 pounds of milk and 18.4 pounds of bntterfat more than cows calving In the spring. In a comparison of early and late fall calving the average difference per year per cow was 683 pounds of milk and 27.5 pounds of butterfat In favor of late fall calving.

EVERY SCOUT A CAMPER d The slogan of "Every Scout a Camper" has the support of 174,470 boys enrolled In summer council camps of the Boy Scouts of America, an Increase of nearly twenty per cent over the preceding year, with thirty-fiv- e per cent of scouts under council jurisdiction In camps. This Is exclusive of many hundreds and even thousands of Individual campers who are not recorded In .official organized, council camps. Week-end- , holiday, and winter camps are attracting as many and more enthusiasts. Winter outings have become an inseparable activity of the outdoor program. Older scouts, scoutmasters, and camp leaders are finding adventujp' and recreation through hiking, trek cart, canoe, cycle, nuto, boat pack train, mountain climbing, and exploration trips. The keynote has been to maintain the pioneer conditions with maximum participation in every camp. A wide acquaintance has been established with outdoor organizations, mountain clubs, and prominent travelers and explorers. Contracts have been made with national and state forests and parks, conservation and forestry organizations. Definite service and assistance has been rendered in developing trails, fire lines, plant disease control, and treeplantlng. One of the outstanding marks of progress Is the extent to which winter camping has been enjoyed. Statistics show that camps conducted over week-end- s and on holidays, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays, and Easter week actually attract more boya summer camps. than the long-teryear-roun- BOY SCOUT RESCUES BABY Boy scouts are more and more acquiring the valuable habit of "happening along" when there is worthwhile work to be done. A negro woman carrying a large basket of clothes and accompanied by her two small children was recently walking along in one of the outlying districts of Savannah, Ga., when she came upon a railroad trestle. It was a dangerous place for children to cross unassisted, for the tidewater beneath was ten feet deep. She Instructed the little tots to wait for her at one end of the trestle until she crossed with the wash, and then returned for them. ' The woman soon gained the other side. She had put down her basket and was turning for her children, when she saw that they had not waited for her and unescorted were making the hazardous crossing. Suddenly the small child, two years of age, ' stumbled and slipped through the space between the ties, Into the water below. Scout William McDonough of Troop 14, Savannah, at that moment happened to be out on a hike alone and had also reached the trestle." The boy was In uniform and 'equipped with pack, hatchet, utensils, etc., for a camping hike. He heard the woman scream and saw her point to the sinking child. The scout hastened to the aide of the trestle, and despite the encumbrance of his equipment plunged Into the water, clutched the little one and soon dragged hlra to the shore. Here McDonough applied first aid and within a few momenta the child revived. Through no report of the hero of this rescue did the facts become known. Casual bits of Information, pieced together and verified, and also the affidavit of the negro woman made before a scoutmaster, account for this story of splendid heroism. BOY 8COUT3 DO GOOD TURN Delivering milk may be a prosaic matter, but the way Troop 3 of Eveleth, Minn., did it proved a splendid achievement. When a family that operated a small dairy In the mining section In which Troop 3 resides took 111 during the past winter they were greatly worried as to who would deliver the milk to the neighbor customers. Troop 3 volunteered to deliver the milk and, at 40 degrees below rero, performed their services In a way thnt brought them the following letter of appreciation : "Words fall to express our thanks and appreciation for the many thoughtful favors extended to us by the members of Troop 3 during the Illness of our fnmliy. "We are glad that our son Pearce a arout, and hope he may repay this debt many times In tho future by doing for others." 1 SPEAKS TO BOY SCOUTS "It strikes me that yon boys have started to light np the highway of clv lllzatlon." said Sir Harry Lauder to the boy smuts of Winona, Minn., at a lunch- eon of the Klwants club In this city. The dlfltlhgulshed visitor drew his metaphor I from his recollections of a tittle Scott ah town where In the gloaming be had wstched a lamplighter pas almost unnoticed on Ms rounds, leaving behind him a "beautifully Illumined highway." The great comedian spoke. In terms of the highest praise. ' |
