Show the uettah iasei fabhee Cleanliness and Feed for Calves Swine-Sanitati- Manure Supply on Some on Farms Now Inadequate 4 System Profitable The supply of manure on some farms Is wholly Inadequate to the plant-foo- d needs. Anything that can be done to increase the value and efficiency o 1 this manure means Increased profits, or at least a lower fertilizer bill, which means the same thing. A ton of manure is equal in fertilizing value to about 100 pounds of a 12:5:10 fertilizer; !l other words, each ton of manure will contain 12 pounds of ammonia, 5 pounds of phosThe phoric add and 10 of potash. weak spot of this analysis will be readily recognized as the low phosphoric-acid content, as compared with the elativelj high supply of ammonia and potash per ton of manure. This situation can be corrected by the addition of 50 pounds of 16 superphosphate or about 40 pounds of 20 per cent superphosphate to each ton of manure. This addition of phosphoric acid will give an analysis of 12:13:10 to the treated manure, making each ton equal to about 100 pounds of a 12:13:10 fertilizer in value. The practical application of this treatment is that the available supply of manure on the farm, increased in fertilizing efficiency, can be applied less heavily with equal or better results than the untreated, and can thus be made to cover an increased acreage of the farm each year.

Proper care exercised In keep- scalding the pails after each feeding, .and in removing discarded feed from the feed boxes each day will aid materially In giving the calf a good start Whole Milk for Calf. During the first two weeks the calf should have whole milk, preferably from its mother. Six to nine pounds of milk daily for the first week, divided equally Into three feedings. Is call average-siz- e may be incrqpsed by three pounds a day during the second week if the calf Is doing well. A few calves are raised on whole milk, but it Is usually too valuable to feed. Calves do nearly as well on skim milk, and most calves are raised oa this feed. If fresh skim milk is not available, dried or powdered skim milk may be fed Instead, or the calf calf-memay' be raised on calf-megruffis. Although gruels are not quite so satisfactory as skim milk, fairly good results will be obtained by proper feeding. Beltsville Calf Meal. A good meal devised by the bureau of dairy industry and known as the Beltsville calf meal consists of 50 parts, by weight, of finely ground corn, 15 parts linseed meal, 15 parts finely ground rolled oats, 10 parts dry skim milk, and one-hapart salt To prepare It for feeding, mix to a smooth consistency with an equal weight of cold water. Then add 8 pounds of warm or boiling water for each ponnd of dry calf meal used. Stir thoroughly until well mixed and allow to stand for several hours. Warm to 100 degrees Fahrenheit before feeding. Mix only enough at oue time for one or two feedings. The best results from feeding calf-megruel are obtained by substituting it very gradually for whole milk after the calf Is four weeks old, taking at least four weeks to complete the change from milk to gruel. Other factors essential to success In raising the dairy calf during the first 8 lx months of life are discussed In this leaflet, a copy of which may be procured by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. al so-call- ed United State Agriculture.) Department swine-sanitati- on system, developed by the United .States Department of Agriculture in Illinois and now widely used throughout the Central West, Is discussed In a recent report to the department by Dr. J. E. Gibson, federal inspector in charge of work conducted by Purdue university. In bringing the system to the attention of Indiana hog raisers, federal veterinarians have conducted demonstrations, showing the damage done by roundworms which the system, when used, prevents. A leading swine breeder In Rush county, Ind., stated that the benefits he had derived from such a demon stration and lecture delivered four years ago had turned a losing proposition into one that is now showing a splendid profit. Up to that time," he continued, the average number of pigs per sow had been about ami the few pigs that grew to maturity, when marketed at 102 months of age, weighed about 200 pounds. Now the average number of pigs per sow is a fraction above 7 and they weigh 200 pouml al lf when about 7 months old." swine growers the necessity for Immunizing herds as a means of preventing hog cholera with practical certainty. $ Agricultural Squibs J A Alt A A All A Jl Ail AAA A ..i.iAAAAAAA TTTTTTTtTTTTTTTT TTtTtTTtTt A hen usually lays eggs like the one she was hatched from. 0 al Care for Quince Nothing Justifies feeding complex mineral mixtures to cattle all the time.

Doctor Gibson also stated that the system of swine sanitation is now be ing fully carried out by more than 325 swine growers in 10 Indiana counties. Still other growers are following the system partially. Owing to the improved sanitary conditions the where system is followed, the danger of hog cholera is reduced considerably, though inspectors of the bureau of animal industry keep before 44444 Tuesday, August 7th is the date set for a meeting with the Board of county commissioners of Duchesne county for the appearance of any persons who own land on the South Myton bench or Pleasant Valley, relative to the inclusion or exclusion of any land from the project. At a later date an election will be called and a vote taken whether they desire to form an irrigation district. S. Y. Taylor of Salt Lake City, manager xf the Uintah Basin Construction company, has been spending some time in Myton and vicinity looking after the interests of that organization, it is the Taylor canal that furnishes water for that project. The project includes about 1200 acres of good land, with about 4000 acres under cultivation. ' When the balance is improved and the irrigation problem solved in a satisfactory manner it will mean success to all interested parties. The Uintah Basin Seed Growers association of Myton recently held their annual meeting. The following persons were selected as officers for the coming year: N. L. Peterson, president; Wm. Zowe, G. E.
