RAISING CALVES. AItis possible to raise
calves without giving them fresh, new
milk for with little skinned milk and
hay they will thrive almost if not quite as
| we'll as upon the pure tactical fluid. Fifty
years ago Sir James Stewart 1Denham, of
Scotland instituted experiments in raising
calves with hay tea, taking them from
their mothers when three days old, and
these experiments were eminently success
full. Two pounds of hay was stepped in
twenty quarts of water, and then boiled
down one; half, and to this was added a
quart Of skinned milk In some instan-
cas molasses was added also tosgive sweet
ness, and the calvsssllot only thrived upon
this diet, but preferred it to fresh milk
