EARLY AND LATE CALVES,
How to Obtain tho best Cows for tn,
Dairy.

How to Obtain tho Best Cows for tho
Dairy.
At q meeting Of the agriculturists held
at Paisley, Scotland. n dairyman said:
When cow is kept upon dry feeding
UP to calving it takes some time to get
a good flow Of milk. There is a tendency
in some parts of Scotland to calve the
cows earlier in spring than formerly.
Undoubtedly this is an advantage in the
case of the calves, as they can be forced
forward and get the whole summers
crop ut the grass. But do not consider
it as profitable, nor do l think a cow
gives the same quantity of milk in the
season il she is calved early and
stall fed before being turned out to
grass if she is calvcd just as the grass
is ready and gets the extra feeding
when the grass begins to fail. 1t is
about n fortnight before colostrum can
with certainty be said to have ceased TO
I've present in the new milk and until
its presence has ceased the milk should
never De used for either cheese or but
ter. During this period the calf should
get the full benefit of its mothers milk,
or if the calf is not being kept it is a
good practice to give the cow her tSvn
milk TO drink, as the colostrum has me-
dicinal prope rites that are beneficial to
the cow at this stage. Newly calved
COWS are also susceptible to the cold
and am inclined to think, upon the
whole. that the best time to calve cows
down for this system Of dairying is, as
nearly as possible, u fortnight before
they are turned out to grass Western

painting horses to maddening gallop;
but as they reached the cover of a
friendly wood, Swaync drew the rein.
Hold lard minute, mate, we must
breathe the critters, c. they'll hev

ing his horse round, and peering through
the branches of the trees.
The clearing was a long strip Of corn
land, lying in a valley between two
ridges. Frank and Swayne had crossed
it at right angles in it's narrowest part,
where it was probably not more than
fifty or sixty rods from wood to wood.
All, here they come!
Not as Swaync and Frank had done,
but up the full sweep of the lowland-a

1t was an exciting scene. As Swayne
said, the leading man was evidently
the quarry of the others, and as they drew
nearer 1t was apparent that he wore
the uniform of Union officer. The
chase must have been long and severe,

] had always thought of the rabbit as
a timid. stupid creature. and wondered
why i'm the stories which | had heard
al my life from my old colorcd Mann
my and which "Gnclc Remus'' has
gathered into book form for You of
younger generation. that l.rcr Rabbit
should always he SO cute and smart,
and always get ahead of the rest of the
animals. But changed my mind last
spring about this same i;rer Rabbit
from something myself saw him do.
In the very early spring | was driv-
ing one day with my brother. and with
ms was his dog. Frank. Il nearly pure
blood Irish setter. AS we drove through
little woods Frank started rabbit,
and away they went on a race which
we stopped the horses to watch.
Just along the edge of the road there
was Il little bank, and ditch. which
thought would make big jump for
poor Ercr Rabbit. But bless you. he
never jumped it. for finding that Frank
was gaining on him, he just ran down
that bank and squattcd as close as he
could to the ground right at the water S
edge.
Away went Frank with beautiful
jump, which cleared the bank and the
ditch, and took him right over Brcr
Rabbits head and half way across the
road before he could stop-and then
such hunting and a :nu.ling in every
direction, for he had lost the scent in
that one wild jump While this was
going on Hrcr Rabbit watched his
chance. and with Il long breath and u
shake of his ears, as much as to say,
Zone for me, Mr.. Dog" he picked him
self up and trotted back in the woods
in exactly the same tracks he had rushed
over few seconds before, as quietly as
if there was not IA dog within hundred
miles of him. and | suppose went on
with whatever piece of rabbit business
he had been about when Frank inter
rupted him. AS for Frank. l believe he
thinks the earth opened and swallowed
the rabbit up: for made his master
call him and make him jump into the
foot of the carriage, for thought after
such "a cute trick that I;rcr Rabbit de-
served to be left i'm peace.-Wide Awake.

THE DAIRY.

Never try to keep milk at low

When feeding for n test, the feed
should be increased very gradually.
says dairy writer. A month is not too
long to wait for result If too rapid
increase il made it is almost certain to
cause Indigestion, Of which the least
bad effect is waste of food.
If you are going TO make an addi-
ton to your dairy herd this spring. be
sure you get good cows. II good ones
cannot be found. it is better not to buy
at all than to get poor cows Better
have one extra COW than two medium
ones. for the latter require feeding and
perhaps produce no more than the sim
gle good cow.

hours the seeds will bc so well cooked

They were all glad to see Frank back,

kind words for the young man, whose
story he listened to with intense inter-
est, while Major Hopkins called him to
his own tent and made him relate his
adventures over again, paying him sew

best news of all was that his name had
been forwarded TO the Governor of
Ohio for commission, and these gentle
men thought that their strong recon-

Thus in five days he found himself in

he met was James Lawson driving a

Ills master kept nearly a dozen cows,
and they ranged at viii among the hills
during the day. When the sun was low

Fetch. Bring the cows home, and it
was because the dog did his task SO well
that he was called Fetch
One sultry day he departed as usual
upon his evening task. From scattered
shady and grassy hooks he at last gath
cred all the cattle into the mountain
road leading to the barn yard. A part
of the road ran through Il low, moist
spot bordcred by thiclxet of black
alder. and into this one of the cows
pushed her way and stood quietly. The
others passed on, followed some dis
lance in the rear of Fetch.

at the herd carefully for time, he
started off down the road again on full

down on a rock to see what Fetch was
