Feeding Young Calves.

Az we have seen, fresh milk is the best
food for the Young calf, and the most natu-
raj method of taking it is for the calf to
draw il from the 6dder of its mother. But
there are many considerations that come in
to prevent this natural method among the
100000 dairymen in the United States. This
natural method is only practicable among
the breeders of pure-blooded and high-priced
stock and if such breeder of high blood is
located in a dairying district where milk is
valuable, it is quite unnecessary that he
should feed new milk longer than two
months. After that period the calf may be
fed upon the skim milk and linseed or flax
seed cruel, with an excellent chance of grow
ing prize animal. In two months the calf
win have made an excellent start and be
ready for the modified diet. And if the calf
is to be taught to drink, it is better to do
this when ten days or two weeks old. 1t
will learn easier at that age than la
ter, and the COW will give more milk through
the season than if the calf is permitted to
suck longer. The milk being fed warm
from the mother, the calf will make growth
not perceptibly different from one that sucks.
This bloOded calf should have the free run
of dry yard, with little hay or grass to
eat, that it may early develop its first stom
ach and chew its cud. A small field of
grass in Summer is still better. When the
time comes for feeding skim milk, the ration
may be made about as nutritious as the new
milk by adding to it flax seed Cruel, made
by boiling pint of flax seed and a half
pint of oat meal in ten or twelve quarts of
water. Mix this in equal parts with skim
milk and feed blood warm. Let the calf
have its fill twice per day, at regular times,
until six months old. During this time
teach it to eat a few oats, and in case of
tendency to scour, give, for meal or two,
in the milk, quart of coarse wheat -four,
sometimes called by farmers, camel. 1t will
be perceived that the oil of the fax seed
will make good the loss of the cream in the
milk-in feet it is ration as rich as the
milk itself; and we have seen calves run
ming with it quite the equal of calves run
ming with the dam. We have also used fax
seed and pea meal to maize the Cruel to mix
with the skim milk, and it has proved an
excellent combination.-Co Cor. National Lire

The Scientific American furnishes the fol.
lowing practical hints concerning the con-
struction OF devices to prevent the ravages
of crows and other predatory birds
The best scarecrow is suspended looking
glass. Take two small, cheap mirrors, fas-
ten them back to back, attach cord to one
angle, and hang them to an elastic pole.
When the glass swings in the wind the suns
rays are reflected all over the field, even if
it be large one, and even the Oldest and
bravest of crows will depart precipitately
should one of its lightning flashes fall on
him. The second plan, although terror to
crows, is especially we'll suited to fields sub
jected to the inroads of small birds and even
chickens. 1t involves an artificial hawk
made from big potato and long goose and
turkey feathers. The maker can exercise
his initiative skill in sticking the feathers
into'the potato so that they resemble the
spread wings and tail of the hawk. 1t is as
tonishing what feroeious bird of prey can
be constructed from the above simple mate
rial. 1t only remains to hang the object
from tall, bent pole and the wind will dc
the rest. The bird will make swoops and
dashes in the most headlong and threatening
manner. Even the most inquisitiye of ven
erable hens have been known to hurry rap
idly from its dangerous vicinity, while t.
small birds it carries unmixed dismay.

WHERE TO ADVERTISE

class OF jonrnals." II MIR. Stewards Judgment is OF
value, there Is no difficulty In deciding which paper
is for the interest OF business men to advertise In
The COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT, upon which this paper is
partially founded, was established In 1886, and the
COLUMBIAN now enjoys wider circulation and
greater prosperity than II ever did. 1t goes week

ensurlng greater certainty that they will perHse
them. While It's circulation is undoubtedly much the
largest in the county, the advertising rates or the
COLUMBIAN are no higher than those OF ether papers
with barely half and several not onefourth the num-
ber OF subscribers. Facts like these speak for them
selves. No shrewd business man win neglect TO in
