Winter Treatment of Calves.

Dairymen generally are not sufficiently
careful in raising their calves. 1t is not
so well understood as it should be that
whatever check is given the calf from its
birth to maturity, is a permanent injury,
and the loss cannot be replaced after
ward. 1t becomes us, therefore, to do all
we can for the young animals growth,
making it not only continuous, but keep
ing it up to its highest capacity, avoiding
only an excess of fat. a healthy, vigor-
Gus, uninterrupted growth should be the
careful aim of every one who has growing
stock to rear for the dairy. We are very
apt to think-and the thought is almost
universally entertained-that calves will
not do as well in winter as in summer
that it is impossible to advah,. heir
growth to the same extent during cold
weather and on dry feed, as in the summer
fields on fresh grasses. The difference is
not in the feed and the season, or need not
be; it is in the treatment. In summer the
animal, provided with good pasture, will
help itself; In winter it requires attention
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1877-01-25

is then wholly dependent upon what is
given it. and cannot forage for itself. Re.
member, Calf is a tender thing: has
never experienced cold before; has been
accustomed to the juicy grasses and warm
weather, and cannot, therefore, endure,
without hurt, the usual severe conditions
OF winter, such as it generally experiences.
1t must be sheltered, and its quarters be
made uniformly comfortable. Not only
the wind, but the cold must be kent
out, and the stall sufficiently Uttered and
ventilated, with a convenient Watering
place, and water taken to it in severe
weather -.s
The feed is important, particularly the
kind. Hay alone of the usual quality, or
hay with little grain or roots, viii not
do. The roots are excellent, being a sort
of substitute for the grass; but grass in
the form of tender hay or dried grass
must be provided. As much as the calf
will eat of early cut grass-or, better,
aftermath-should be given. This alone
will keep the calf in good growth if it has
not been checked during the summer, and
has gone into winter quarters in good
health and vigor. But generally it is not
enough, and then a more concentrated
feed is required This we have in the
grams. Barley Is excellent; so are oats :;
both ground. A little corn-meal added
will favor warmth in the system. Oil
cake also is good. If this treatment is
continued during the winter, the young
animals viii be largely advanced when
spring GENES and they are turned into
pasture. Such animals will be cows at
two years of age. They will have attained
sufficient size, and will continue to grow
several years more, charging, at the same
time, the capacity for milk which early
milking favors.
Another thing of importance is gener-
ally neglected, or rather is not understood
The COW, it is known, has strong domestic
attachments. This, encouraged, is favor
able to an increased yield of milk. To
get the full benefit of this, an early course
of kind treatment should be adopted; the
calf petted and encouraged. a little of
this goes a great way; but let it be con-
tinued without interruption. The man
| who has knack for the management of
stock, especially the bringing up of young
animals, is prize in a large establish
ment. The female hand will raise calf
and make a superior COW of it. Kindness
and tact are employed; but they are not
generally exercised by the male attendant

A Romantic Story From New Jersey.

NEW YEARS night, an infant child
was found in basket at the Centerville
Depot, on the New jersey Central Rail
road, by Edward Marshall, a track
walker, and by him taken home. A card
inscribed Martha Jenkins" fastened to
the childs clothing, led the old folks to
believe that it might be their daughters
child, she having eloped from their home
in Liverpool, England, with a man named
Jenkins. They were so strongly i'm
pressed with the idea that they requested
the reporters who called in search of
the facts to mention it in their story,
and to say that their daughter would re-
ceiye welcome home if she would re-
turn to them, she being their only child.
Chief Whitney of the Bayonne police
learned of probable case of infanticide,
last Wednesday, and in working it up
learned that a poor, miserable woman,
living in tenement house in Bayonne,
had had an infant child until few days
ago, but recently it had not been heard
nor seen. He learned that the woman
was Mrs. Jenkins, and, on questioning her
about the fate of her child, learned fur
Their that she had put it out in the snow in
basket on New Years night. She told
him. her story, how she had eloped from
Liverpool, and lived in New York with
her husband until about year ago, when
he took to drink because he could not OBJ
tain work, and then deserted her She
bad four children, but three died, and the
last one was born after her husbands
flight She nearly starved after the birth
OF the child, and was only kept alive by
the charity of her neighbors, as poor al
most as herself: When she could go out
she could not find employment, and, by
reason of il1-health and scant food, she
could not nourish her child. She knew
from letter received from friends in
England where her father was employed,
and, knowing his fondness for children,
she determined to put her child in his
way. She watched him, and knowing
when he would pass the depot at Center
Vile, she left the child Just where ne
would see it. Shehid to see what became
OF 1t, and when he picked it up she ran
away. She intended to commit suicide,
the following day, but her courage failed
her on seeing the ice on the river, and she
went back to the tenement house. She
would scarcely believe the Chief when he
told her that her father wanted her to
come home again, because he had been so
much lncensed at her elopement. Finally
she consented to go to her father, and re-
turned home. -lSprsngfeJd (Hdss.) Repub-

Foo Much Land.

MANY a farmer is ruined by his greed
for land. He wants all the land adioin-
ing him, and his poverty is the result of
his not possessing the quaint wisdom Of
the man who was trying to hoe some corn
on fearfully stony patch, when one
riding by remarked that he should think
a man must be very poor with such land
| as that. go, SIR replied the farmer,
/" am not so poor as you think | am; |
don't own all this land" Many a farmer
is actually poor-or always in straitened
circumstances, which is quite as bad-be-
cause of his mania for land. 4 farm is
not regarded by such as sufficiently large
unless it contains 200 or 300acres of land
But there are very few farmers with suf-
ficient capital to own and work to advan-
tage such farm.
A business man is only wise to measure.
the size of his business by the amount Of
his capital. Occasionally you see man
trying desperately to swing a business
which should have capital of $50, 900,
on capital Of one-fifth that amount; the
consequence is, he is always "hard up''
"a wretched pay master, a victim to loan
spongers, and, in the end, not worth q
dollar. So of farming. A farm which
requires, for the proper management, at
least $4,000 capital, is run on q quarter
of that amount. Mortgages exhaust soil
faster than crops. Much of the land is
neglected. Buildings get out of repair
Marketing is not properly attended to.
Produce has to be sold at forced prices,
and leanness is marked on everything ex-
cept the circumference of the farm.
But too much land is loss from the
inability to work it. We can bring out
the point by citing the experience of two
farmers we know we'll. One has a farm
Of $50 acres of land, pasturage of sixty
acres, wood land covering thirty acres,
moving and tilling of fifty acres, with
some ten acres running to waste. His
stock consists of one yoke of oxen, five
mich COWS, seven head of young cattle,
one horse and a hundred sheep
This farmer mows over some forty acres
of land to cut thirty to forty tons of hay;
cultivates ten acres divided up for plant
ing and sowing crops. He is always short
of pasturage, buys hay every spring, and
has but little to sell off from the farm.
Too much land is that farmers poverty.
The other man, living in the same town,
owning land of the same character, has
farm of seventy-ive acres. His stock in
the number of head, is the same, with the
exception of few less sheep. He mows
over only fifteen acres; cuts thirty tC rs in
the first crop, and about ten of the second.
He has produce to sell; his stock looks
sleek, and always brings the best price.
Old hay has not been strange to his barn
for years. The farm is carried on with
less help, and everything shows thrift.
Now, as both are hard working, good
calculating farmers, we ERE satisfied the
difference in their circumstances is that
one has too much land to work over,
fence, take care of and pay taxes on.
Over tie doors of many poverty stricken
farmers should be written: Too much
land.-GOLden Rule.

The Case on Trial.

The case in court as we go to press is
that of Mrs. Fanny A. Bowker against
four young men at st. Johnsbury Cen
tre-Edward Stone, Miles, Brooks and
Butler. The writ charges the Young
men with breaking into her store, fast
ening the doors so as to prevent her
egress, and frightening her so as to in
jure her health, thereby incapacitating
her for business. She lays her dam
ages at $4,000. The history of this
fracas has already been given in this
paper, and is briefly this: In the fall
of rs, some young men connected with
the Good Templar lodge at the Centre,
became suspicious of the attentions of
one Webb,-then of East Burke,-to
one of their number, and on the night
in question saw him leave the lodge
room and go into Mrs. BOwker's house.
After the close of the evenings eX-
ercises at the lodge room, some parties
fastened the doors of Mrs. BIS house,
and raised ladder to her bedroom
window and made certain investiga
tons, after which one of their number
raped upon the front door. After this
had been repeated, and some time had
elapsed, both Mr.. Webb and Mrs.
Bowker appeared, and soon after Webb
went north towards his home at East
Rurla ubara he bad a family This is
but an outline of the case now being de-
veloped. The youngest Miles boy, when
on the witness stand, swOre positively
us to what he saw and heard while up
on the ladder. The case is one of those
smutty ones in which the court abOunds
of late years, where parties go to law to
recover money or character, and lose
both.
