COrnstalks as Fuel.

An Iowa farmer, who has both
coal and wood on his farm, warns
his house with constalks, and claims
that they make the best and cheap
est fuel he can get. He uses a
large stove, and burns the stalks in
tightly-bound bundles, weighing
forty pounds each. A bundle burns
three hours (without fame) in an
air-tight stove. The large stove
offers so much radiating surface
that it does not need to be very hot.
Five bundles a day, Or 600 for the
winter, suffice to keep the stove 60
ing and the room warm. The farm
er, Mr., Ruggles, says:
II can bind up 600 bundles of
cornstalks in two days alone. |
couldn't chop the wood to warm
this room in a week. Then in the
spring | have load of strong ashes
for my wheat field, while my neigh
boris have to cut up the same corn
stalks in the spring to get them
away from the harrow. 1t makes
me smile when | hear about these
idiots up in Minnesota who have
fifty-acre corntields, and still go cold
or buy coal. Why, I'd rather burn
cornstalks than cut maple wood
within sight of the house. Scientf-

Raising Calves by Hand.

Some claim that there is no i'm
provement in natures way. 1t is
true if the COWS are never to be put
to any other use than raising
calves, it is just as well to let their
calves run with them in the natu-
raj way. But at this day who can
afford this system? By more labor
and greater care just as good calves
can be raised at half the sacrifice of
the product for which the COW is
most valuable. Nor can farmers
afford to permanently injure COW
as mixer by allowing her calf to
run with her the first year. The
frequent drawing Of her milk by the
ever-present calf, seriously dwarfs
all her milk glands, 50 that ever af-
ter she has no capacity for any
large amount of milk. 1t is very
important the calves should not run
with them the first year If in good
flesh and good health, for a few
days it is important the milk should
be drawn frequently to keep the
bag from inflammation and injury.
But gradually, and as fast as it is
safe, the regular periods of milking
should be assumed, so that the I'D
der in its formative state shall as
sumo capacity for twelve hours ac-
emulation of milk. Nor is it safe
or policy to trust to the calf to draw
all Of the milk for a few weeks.
The demands of a calf at that age
are not sufficient to take all the
milk of a first-class cow. Hence her
yield will naturally dwindle to the
demands. Besides, after calf and
COW have been let to each other
twice day the weaving is injurious
to both. Besides, the weaving is
frequently impossible, creating con-
slant trouble on the farm. The
practice also Of keeping cow and
calf separate, and admitting them
together twice a day to take half of
the milk, while the other half is
being MIXED, is vexatious, trouble
some and saves no labor. Any one
would rather sit down by quiet
COW and draw all of the milk than
to fight with the calf for half of it.
An if the mixer takes the first half
before the calf is admitted, the COW

Goats to Protect Sheep.

The farmers of Hunterdon and
Somerset counties, New Jersey,
use goats to protect their sheep
from dogs. Two goats can drive
away dozen dogs, and two are
about all each farmer puts in with
his sheep. AS soon as dog enters
the field at night, the goats attack
him, and their butting propensities
are too much for the canine, who
soon finds himself rolling over and
over. A few repetitions of this
treatment causes the dog to quit
the field, limping and yelling.
Formerly. when a dog entered the
sheep field at night, the sheep
would run wildly around and cry
piteously. Since the goats have
been used to guard them, they form
in line behind the goats and seem
to enjoy the fun. The idea of util-
izing goats in this way came from
= the West, where they are put in
sheep pens to drive away wolves

is injured, as the milk should all
be drawn when the COW lets 1t
down. Calves should never be al
lowed to suck longer than three
days. But they should be furnish
ed with their mothers first milk,
as nature provided just the right
kind of nourishment for the first
food. When raising calves by hand
they can be made just what you
want them.
After feeding for few weeks
with new milk, substitute skim
milk, Then if the calf is too poor
add oat meal, or if it is to fat for
the development of the bones and
muscles, add oat meal or other bone
and muscle-producing food. The
heifcr calves which are intended in
the future for the dairy should not
be kept as fat as if intended for veal

opments of all parts, for which pur-

usually possessed by the drudge.
The sooner the COW and calf can be
induced to forget each other, the
better for both and for those who
attend them. By the tenderest
care learn both to have confidence
in you. Kindness to q calf in its
earliest days IS not forgotten.
They make quieter and better COWS.
And steers which enjoy your pres
ence and confde in your care al
ways assimilate their food better,
are not half the trouble to care for,
and add so much to their satisfac-
ton by their docility and kind tenn
per. Calves must have good accom-
modations for feeding their milk
and grain or other food rations.
Each one must be allowed it's share,
without being robbed by the more
greedy or pushed away by the dom
ineering. Plans for all these mat
tiers are well understood on a we'll
arranged farm.-Ioa0a Register.

A writer in the Country Gentle
man suggests a cooperative system
by which farmers of small means
might have the use of valuable
tools at little cost. "There are ma
ny tools, the use of which being
needed by a farmer for day or two
only are too expensive, even for
such as have means in plenty, to
buy for the little use they have for
them-such as grain drills, manure
spreaders, tedders, lug and circular
saws, etc.-and so they toll on in
the hardest way, doing their work
at great disadvantage, in much
poorer manner and at a great loss
of time. One can travel in any di-
rection through a farming district
for miles without finding such tools,
much as they would better and ia
cilitate farm operations, though
they might be available if a half
dozen farmers would unite in the
purchase and use them in COM
mon" This is certainly worth try
ing.

and cold will not pay, and the soon
