Feeding Calves.

EVERY one who has had the care of
calves has experienced the trouble of
their sucking each other in various ways.
An agricultural writer gives the follow
ing practical advice on the subject:
There is some discussion as to the adj
vantage of putting cows in stanchions,
but there is no question of the advantage
of having stanchions for calves when
they are fed. Calves running at large
will suck ears and receive injury from
the pernicious habit, and besides it is
very annoying job to feed lot of push
ing, soldering varmints; but row of
stanchions holds them all in place, pre-.
vents the fast drinkers from robbing the
slower ones, guards against upsetting
pals, any number can be fed at once
and are kept from molestation by those
awaiting their turn, and best of all, if
not liberated until their mouths are
dried off, there is no sucking each
others ears after meals. A calf requires
about four inches for its neck, and but
short time is needed to make the neces.
sary stanchions, and any farmer can
make them, if he don't care for style, az
we know by experience. In Summer
the stanchions can be placed in the pas
ture fence.

THE DAIRY.

ASA TEFT, of Stockton, N. Y, makes
an average of over 800 pounds OF butter
per annum from each of his COWS.
THE butter globules in milk from tar-
row COWS and COWS nearly dry are
smaller than from COWS in flush OF MILK
and, in order to obtain all the butter
the cream from the former should be
churned together, and the same OF new
milk COWS.
If you want a choice COW, says the
Ios0G MadiSoftdfa, you must raise her
yourself. There is a good deal in the
breed, but more in the breeder. AS 10
breeds you have three choices-the
jersey, the Short-horn and the Holsteln.
If you take the Jersey, you must count
on your steer calves being fit only TOR
veal. If you take the Short-horn you
must see to it that you get into family
that has not been bred for beef exclu-
sively.
A CORRESPONDENT of the american
DGiryDaGre, writing from Colorado, says
that one acre of alfalfa is sufficient TO
keep two COWS if used with care, and
that it will yield two or three times as
much value as wheat, oats or corn.
When alfalfa is grown for cows, enough
should be sown to feed the cows for six
weeks, when the first cut will be ready
again. One acre has supplied seven
COWS for four to six weeks, and then
the first part cut was ready for sec
ond cutting. Where crops are irri-
gated, four or even five cuttings may
be made in one season. Had it not
been for alfalfa many COWS and horses
in Colorado would have starved for
want of fodder, the present very dry
season.

Gov. Howard, Of Dakota, passed through
town yesterday on his way to his old home
at Detroit. The governor has been very
low at times during the past month, but has
rallied slightly, and his physicians thought
that possibly he might bear the fatigue of
removal. He endured the ride to this city
we'll, and expressed himself as confident
that he would get through all right. Gov.
Howard has endeared himself to the citi-
zens Of the territory of every locality and
political belief, as no other governor ever
has: On account of his age and broken
health it is scarcely probable that he will
again return to Dakota.
This item has been copied by a great
many territorial papers and the closing sen.
tence has generally been accepted as the
truth. Because it is not true we take occa-
sion to correct the prevailing impression.
Governor Howard has no idea of abandon
ing Dakota. He is more than ever in love
with the country and the people and it is
his fixed determination to remain our poy.
ernor until his term expires. He will return
to the capital as soon as he has visited with
his people at the east and recruited his
health.
