FARM FORUM Questions and answers by experts for the man on the land. .y •JDaSSte A well-trained dog awaiting command. Cattle dogs Q- I have a dog that is supposed to be a "working collie" but at 18 months it hardly knows the difference between working and mischief making. Although it is by no means a dangerous dog I still have to keep it tied up other than using him before milking. What do you think is the best way to " teach him a lesson or two? , There are too many “working” collies of this class in existence. Ive been given one or two myself and have described them in more colouriul language. If you trained him yourself, then the fault lies with you. There are several good books on training sheep dogs and, although yours is a cattle dog, the principles of dog training are similar. I don’t think teaching him a lesson or two will help unless you are prepared to train him (or subsequent dogs) properly. Command is No. lin the life of a working dog. Weeds among beans Q. I have trouble with fathen and other weeds in my market garden and have particular difficulty in keeping green beans growing satisfactorily. Is there any easy way to overcome these weeds? *• Apply Shell Weedkiller Q with a low volume sprayer about 7 days before the emergence of the bean seedlings. The fathen will be killed and the beans got away to a good start. Your usual agricultural supplier or the nearest Shell Depot can tell you where to get Shell Weedkiller Q. Trouble with ploughs ® While working with a plough, which was always kept reasonably clean, the metal bar across the top suddenly snapped in two. There seemed no apparent reason why it should do this and nobody seems to be able to explain. Could you comment on this? , ... A- It is essential to keep a plough reasonably clean. You don t state which bar broke presumably it was the bar that acts as the "back of the plough. The metal may have had a flaw in it or crystallised with age. You may have hit a sunken object in the ground, and the sudden jar brought about the breakage. Calf rearing For rearing calves, which is best for them —to be weaned after two months of natural rrTilk from freshly calved cows, or after three or four months of ordinary milk for factory supply strengthened with meal, etc. The first seems more economical but is it in the long run? The answer is undoubtedly "yes”. But that is not the end of calf rearing. Post-weaning management is very important. Adequate supplies of good feed, particularly good pasture, are essential; rotational grazing, silage if conditions become dry —these and others, together with good stock management determine the class of young stock one rears. After all, town supply dairy farmers who prefer to raise their own replacements manage very well, if their post-weaning management is up to standard. "Farm Forum” is another Shell service to farmers.
