A CHEAP METHOD OF FEEDING

A CHEAP METHOD OF FEEDING
CALVES. If it is desired to wean
calves early, in orderto prevent them
from having too much of the milk,
the proper plan is to commence with
the calf when it is three days old
For the first trial draw some milk ia
a pan directly it is wanted, and no
sooner, in order that it may be Of the
exact temperature TO which the calf
has been accustomed, and induce it
to draw the finger as substitute for,
the ,eat, the finger ofcourse being in
the milk. By gradually drawing it
away, the calf will commence to
drink. As soon as it has acquired
the habit, keep it fed with pure
rich, lukewarm milk for about one
week more, and then feed IT on skim
med milk, thicken with corn meal
and bran musl, occasionally varying
it with a change ofoatmeal gruel.-
Do not give raw meal or bran, as il
is apt to cause looseness. A go,d
substitute for milk may be- made by
boiling one quart Of dry -four tied up
10 cloth for six hours. One table
spoonful full Of this rasped off from
the ball 10 boiled in two quarts Of
water, and to this added two quarts
of thin Cruel Of oatmeal with little
linseed meal In it. Strain this, las
It should be thin enough for that
purpcse), and add tablespooful of
salt This will make ration for
one day for very young calf, but
should be increased as the calf grows
Older. It is we'll to remember, how
ever, that the natural food of calf
is milk, though they can be kept
alive on q substitute. The substi-
tute here given Is . very good one,
aud would answer IN the place Of
milk entirely TO certain extent
But II would be better to give at least
one feed Of milk daily with q substi-
tute; and il this 10 adhered to the
calf will thrive and do well. Bean
soup two or three times a week is
also a very good thing in connection
with the above, Clover tea, made
|by boiling the tender parts in water,
is highly relished BY young calves
liz sailed and thickened~ with meal,
and the clover 50 cooked may also be
given them to cat, which they will
mot refuse.

S0META HING GOOD.
BY j. W, Riley,

When over the fair fame of friend or foe
The blight of deep disgrace shall fall
instead
Of words of blame, or proof of thus and so,
Let something good be said.
FORGET not that no tellow-being yet
May fall so low but love may lift his
head;
Even the cheek of shame with tears is wet
If something good be said.
No pitying heart may vainly tnrn aside
In ways of charity; no soul so dead
Bnt may awaken strong and glorified,
If something good be said.
And so charge We, by the thorny crown.
And by the cross on which the Savior
bled,
And by your own souls hope of fair
renowh,
Let something good he said

A Pioneer Woman.

One of the most remarkable women in
New York state is Mrs. Catherine Loper
who lives with her daughter, Mrs. Detchall
Lyon, in Rathboneville, Steuben county.
She is In her ninety-second year, and is in
the enjoyment of perfect physical and mental
vigor. In 1928 she settled with her husband
and seven children, the Oldest child being
twelve years of age, near where Rathbone-
vile now stands. The region was literally
an unbroken wilderness, and in the midst OF
lit, says the Utica Observer, Loper commenced
the clearing up of farm and getting out
timber. A small log house was erected, the
nearest neighbor being miles away. Mrs.
Loper and her Oldest son were Loper's sole
aid. al have sawed fifty-fve big pine logs
a day for weeks at time" says Mrs. Loper.
"With the help of my Oldest child | cut
with cross-cut saw the greater part of the
logs my husband ran into the mill in winter
have taken my end of the saw many
time, with my husband at the other end,
and standing in snow knee-deep, have sawed
logs all day, stopping long enough only to
prepare meals for my family. When after
we had cleared up few acres of land, and
got in a crop, my husband began making
trips down the river with RATS that aided
in getting together from the log cutting to
with my children months at time, the
trips and necessary business in getting a
good market sometimes requiring my hus-
bands absence for half year. In order
to reach home he had to come most of the
way from below on foot through the woods,
and it was not possible, therefore, for him TO
return until his business was settled for the
trip. At such times | took care Of the
horses and CATTLE and did all the farm work
except plowing, which hired man to do.
Besides this | had all my housework to do,
and my brood of little ones to care for. The
woods were filled with wild animals, wolves
being especially plenty and panthers yet
abounding. Deer actually ran in droves
through the woods. After machinery was
introduced for carding wool and preparing
the rolls, it was very easy task for me to
spin one hundred knots day, and entertain
company all the afternoon at that. My
skill became known all around the neigh
borhood, and the spinning of one hundred
knots was such an uncommonly large days
work that cloth draper of Penn Yam named
Squires made bet OF $50 with my husband
that could not do it. | went TO work at
sunrise, and by three o'clock in the afternoon
| had the one hundred knots completed
Squires paid the $50 and gave me $40 be
sides, 80 | made $50 by one days work.
have accomplished this large task many a
time since | was eighty years old, and an
not sure but that | can do it now. Since
that time have made over three hundred
pairs of socks, mittens, wristlets and other
| knit articles"

A Lesson.

Walking lately for exercise upon the
piazza of my home, the westering sun threw
in strong relief upon the floor the shadow
of Chinese magnolia standing near. The
shadoweG buds seemed so large that turned
in surprise to look at the reality, and draw
ing down toward me a branch of the tree |
examined them. They were indeed large
for the season, but as yet closely wrapped in
their covering of silvered olive-green, shin
ing softly in the rays of light that fell upon
them. Closely as | searched, could find no
tapping, no seam in that outer covering, but
knew what was folded beneath-I knew
the life-power working there. could look
forward in Imagination and see that calyx
open, the beautiful corolla unfold, the great
petals glistening in snowy witness, sending
up from its purple heart delicious fragrance
filling the air, gladdening the senses of all
beholders. A strange and perplexing prov
idence had been in my thoughts as walked;
aud that almost led to the inquiry Hath
God forgotten to be gracious hath he shut
up his tender mercies from the beloved one
who is 80 sorely tried 2" Here seemed the
answer Human eye can see no opening in
the cloud of perplexity, but we know that
infinite love and wisdom, even our Father
God, is behind the cloud. He will bring out
OF it grace and beauty He will make the
way plain for these beloved feet, he will
make these crooked places straight. The
imagination cannot penetrate the enwrap-
ping cloud, as it cannot pierce the sheath Of
the magnolia bud but faith can trust to
him who has promised to keep the way of
his saints, to order all our steps, and He
is faithful that hath promised" He knows
aud he loves, and he will bring order out
of all life's tangles; beauty and peace out
of all its disappointment and trials.
"Thrice blest is he to whom is given
The instinct that can tell
That God is on the field. when he
Is most invisible"
--Christian Inteuigencer.
