Buns :
Diarrhea, or scours, is probably the
most common disease of ealvys. Great |
care must be taken at all times to pre-{

sult of disturbance of the digestive ap-
paratus of the calf and may be caused
in a number of ways, the more impor-/
tant of which are the following: Ir-
regular feeding, overfeeding, sudden
change of feed, fermented feeds, feed
ing dirty or sour milk or milk of dis-
eased cows, the use of dirty milk pails
or feed boxes, and damp, dirty stables.
As is discovered it is
best to separate the affected calf from
the others and carefully disinfect the
pen. The feed should be reduced im-
mediately at least one-half, milk pails
cleaned and sterilized, feed boxes
cleaned and disinfected, and any other
mentioned above eliminated.
Treating Disease.
A number of preparations are used
to treat this of the

SELECT WINTER LAYERS
Recent poultry selection dem-
oastrations In Lawrence ggunty,
Pennsylvan a, have develpped in-
teresting reSults. In one case a
two-week record kept by one
farmer shows that 41 good hens
Iald 241 eggs as compared with
four eggs laid by 41 poor hens;
in another gase a record of 19
days ad that 28 good hens
laid 111 eggs as compared with
27 eggs laid by 47 poor hens.
In the latter case the college
representative selected the hens
September 22 and no eggs were
lald by the poor hens until Sep-
tember 29. During a two-week
period 19 good hens in one flock
laid 152 eggs, while 13 poor hens
in the same flock laid two eggs.

PLANNING FOR SPRING WORK
Wintry Days Aid in Mapping Out
Landscaping to Be Done Very
Early in the Season.
The dreary days of winter cause
many to reflect on how much more
beautiful they could have made their
grounds the past summer, and already
plans are being laid for landscaping
the coming spring.
All landscape gardening should ex-
press some thought or feeling and a
deep study of the site and surround-
foundation the theme should be built.
If for a home place for a man well
along in years, retired from business,
it should have an air of quietness, se-
clusion and retirement, This concep-
tion would be most easily realized on
a country place of some acres and
would more closely conform to nature
han any other type. Fortunately this
would wreak few changes in the na-
tural aspect and would closely ap-
proach the ideal in landscape or na-
tural gardening as distinguished from
other and more formal or picturesque
styles.
Landscapes may also be bold or gay,
or even florid—perhaps lurid, says a
landscape gardener; but when they
get to be too bizarre it passes out of
the realm of landscape gardening,
which is to either build close to nature
or merely assist nature in touching up
bare spots or insuflicient and unsatis-
factory effects in the existing wildness.
When the process is finished it should

keynote, a picture is not composed of
a collection of interesting objects or
features except these are in harmony.
