FEED CALVES LITERALLY.

We have often attempted TO impress,
upon our readers the fact that it is only
from the extra food that any growth
can be made. For il the calf only get,
enough 10 support its present condi,-
ion. il must remain without growth
and the food il eats is wholly lost. for
the calf cannot remain stationary with
out becoming un,hriity, and this un-
thrifty condition viii greatly interior
with its future growth. Every consid-
Grafton therefore requires that calves
should not be permitted to remain sta
tiouary, but should keep up steady.
thrifty growth throughout the season.
This is what some skillful. practical
feeders mean when they say that calves
should never be permitted to lose their
calf flesh and If this can be prevented
they will continue 10 make profitable
growth till fitted for market. There is
no feed given to calf during its whole
life that will pay . better profit than
THE extra food we have advised 70 be
given during the first season. The
feeder cannot. afford se be illiberal in
feeding mis- calves-his only profit de

knew" Their utterance eviiIce yearil-
ing for the ancient land-pikes, the ill-fa-
vored, pelican-snouted clm-pcelers and
razor-backed hazcl-splitters, which
could readily drink buttermilk from
jug, and had bow-knOts tied in their
tails to prevent their crawling through
the fences. So long as these writers
want to raise such, Ihave no objection,
as il is free country, and there are no
laws to prevent man making fool Of
himself: but our sensible, practical far
Iners will moi be readily persuaded to
throw aside the Improvements that cost
so much time, efforts, and study. and
go back 10 the point where their ances-
tors began. The statement that the
compact, blocky hogs, with fine bone
and small oflal, are not ready sale, Is
false. as every man knows who ever
sold. or tried 10 sell, a bunch of them !;
and they not only sell, but bring pre-
MUM over the lean; transparent sort
every day in the year.
The farmers of the United States, Is
this year of our Lord 1880, have, as
rule, am certain, more and better hogs
than were ever before seen on the face
of the earth and want them to stand
bv what has been accomplished, and
MAINTAIN it. | do not mean by tins that
our swine are perfection. nor that the
best system of feeding and management
is always pursued but believe we are
nearer right than ever before, and there
is no occasion for any step backward.

better system of feeding and . greater
variety Of food; less corn and more

Colds, pumpkins, clean water and shade;
more pasture, more room, and fewer
stys. Our hogs may be improved some,
but our slip-shod way of caring for
them needs attention mOst.-F. II.
