Dry Cows.

A correspondent of the Ncstcrn
R1ral, in writing to that paper has
the following valuable advice to offer:
1t is a common practice among some
stockmen, to give their COWS while
dry but scanty living. When a COW
ceases to give milk or is dried up any
food is considered good enough for
her. think this is a great mistake.
and the result is diminished product
of milk both in quantity and quality.
When she does come in there is a
large draught on the system to sus.
tain the calf while the cow is carry.
ing it, and to keep the cow in good
condition good feed is as important as
when she is giving milk.
ltis my opinion that one dollars
worth of food when'the COW is dry, is
worth $3.50 worth after she comes in.
An animal in poor condition cannot
digest as much food as an animal in
good condition. If the cow is poor
when she comes in, she will not di.
gest enough food to support the sys-
TEN, and ut the same time to make q
large quantity Of milk. I would say
to give the animal from four to six
quarts of chop feed of meal and bran,
twice Il day to keep up the flesh and
strength. and a good stable is prefer;.-
bic for a cow that is giving milk.
with kind treatment.

Dairy,
Poor Butter.

It is quite common to hear the re.
mark that if the manufacture of oleo.
margarine shall have the effect to
cause our butter makers to make bet
ter butter, it will, after all be a bless.
ing in disguise. We are hardly will
ing to accept this, for butter may be
Of poor quality without necessarily
being injurious to health. An onion
or a boiled dinner flavor to butter is
very disagreeable, but it never killed
anybody, and we guess never made
anybody very sick. To possibly en-
danger the health or life of any one
by furnishing them oleomargarine to
eat, is a means of causing a supply Of
a palatable artical for others, which
is entirely too costly. But as oleo-
margarine is made, is placed upon the
market and is consumed, it stands our
butter makers in hand, to be up and
doing, if they would have any show
in the market. Oleomargarine looks
we'll and tasts we'll, and ninty-nine
out of a hundred, do not know how it
is made, or what it contains, if indeed,
they know that it is oleomargarine
when they buy it. The average con-
sumer will be governed by appearance
and flavor, and if genuine butter does
not equal oleomargarine in these re-
spects, it must take a second place,
until such time as the people are
taught that poor butter is better and
safer to eat than good oleomargarine.

How to Raise a. Calf.

Let it suck for one or two days. so
as to get enough of it's mothers milk
to physic it. Then take it away from
the COW and shut it up in a small pen:
or, if the weathersis cold, Il warm box
stall. Fasten up at proper height a
v trough large enough to hold two
gallons. 1t is no use to offer calf
milk until it has tasted twenty-four
hours. When your calf gets hungry
YOU will generally have a little trou-
in teaching it to drink in !. day or
lwo. For week or ten days give the
calf new milk, or until it begins to
thrive, then substitute warm skim
milk, with little faxseed tea or oil
meal added. Begin with table.

A Word to the Poor Man.

It ever has been the history of ma.
tiors that the older they grow and be-
cone populated, the rich grow richer
and tn, poor poorer; our country is
not to be all exception. While we do
not contend that every working man
can accumulate a fortune, we do affirm
that it will help to better his coRdi-
ton keeping a few good, select fowls.
Every poor man knows how it is in
this country: to-day capital ruler, and
the laboring man is merely machine.
If he is sick, or accident suddenly be-
falls him, has capial any sympathy!
Every working man knows the an
swer. The rich man does not display
as much sympathy for his sick servant
as he does for his sick horse or COW.
While there are grand and noble ex-
ceptions from the above, they are ex'
ceptions, not the rule; and every av"
enue that is open to the poor man
to better his condition ought to be
embraced. Again l say, keep a few
fowls: l do not care what kind you
keep; keep A kind or B-just which
kind you think you will succeed best
with, and the few dollars 50 gained
will buy the good wife new dress
aud numberless things that will make
the burden of life lighter; the care of
the beautiful little chicks will drive
the thoughts into other channels, and
make us better.-CW. FaHcicrs
Weakiu.
The Northern Pacific farmer. [volume] (Wadena, Minn.) 1878-1885, 1880-07-08

spoonful of the latter and gradually
increase to gill. When your calf is
four weeks old, put a little shelled
corn in it's trough and it will soon
learn to eat it, and when it gets to
eating two ears at meal it will do
without the faxseed. BY the time it
is two months old it will begin to eat
fine hay or corn blades, and should be
fed regularly in small quantity. If
you decrease the milk, add bran and a
little oil meal to the shelled corn. l
have found quart of bran and two
ears of corn three times a day a full
feed for a calf from three to six
months old and that would weigh be-
tween three and four hundred pounds.
A calf raised and wintered the first
winter in this way will make as good
an animal as it would if allowed to
run with the cow and suck for the
same length of time, and would do
better when weaned. as the change of
diet would not be so radical.-Gaeide.
