WEAVING CALVES.
There IL Always Danger in Changing Food
Too Suddenly.

T0efo II Always Dhm8or ~ N"~A'S-e
Too Suddenly.
It is disappointing time when one
sees the calf or colt, that has been
growing thriftily while fed by its dam,
beginning to look rough in hair ana
thin in flesh as it comes to the changed
conditions of feed when once it has
been weaned. 1t is right here that 50
much of the trouble comes in attempt
ing to raise calves and colts. 1t is the
suddenly changed condition OF feed
that disarranges the small animais
digestive organs, and for awhile ap-
pears to stop its growth entirely. The
remedy is plainly the making OF the
change from the dams milk To the
new food as little of change as possi'
BILE at first. and to make this change
very gradually.
To do this it is best to begin by al
lowing the calf, for instance, to take
but half its fill of its dams milk, nm
ishing upon a mixture of fresh milk
and warmed skim-milk. Gradually the
dams milk can be reduced in the ra-
ton. and the warmed skim-milk IN
creased while into it is stirred a little
boiled fiax-seed and boiled Oatmeal
and middlings, very little OF these
substances being added to the
milk at first, while gradually increas-
ing the quantity IS the calf gets older
and more fully accustomed to this food.
The great point is TO make the change
so gradually as not to disturb the di.
gestive functions, and no small pars OF
the care required to do this is Lav-
ing the prepared food always OF the
warmth of new milk. Even after the
calf has grown strong and lusty upon
its new diet, the milk and mush which
is given it should be warmed, as the
chilling of the stomach from the drink
ing of a pail of cold milk, or otherfuid,
is likely to be the beginning of seri-
Gus disturbance that may manifest it.
selfin scours' and in failure to properly
assimilate the food taken, which means
retarded growth. A calf at this time
should have some grass or hay to eat,
but let = be clover, if possible, and
not too much of that, for weaned
calves kept in a stable frequently over
tax both the capacity and the digestive
power of their stomachs by eating
large quantities of dry hay, becoming
thereby pot bellicd' and unthrifty.
If scours occur, even when every care
is taken, a drink of milk freshly
drawn from the COW will prove cor
rective, while constipation, if it occurs
can be remedied by taking care not to
boil the milk when heating it, and by
slightly increasing the laxative foods
that are added to the milk, adding a
little boiled bran, if needed, for this
purpose. If such plan is followed,
and the small animal, or animals, are
kept warm and given a dry pen, the
change from their dams to the pail or
the calf-feeder can be made with little
difficulty.-Webb Donnell, in American
Argriculturist.

to convince farmers that they need

its brief life. Last October it held a
convention in Chicago. Already it has

worlds Fair Exhibit Of the Nationai
League for Good Roads.
One day not long ago man who had
worn shoulder straps in the union army
was riding over wrinkled stretch OF
prairie road. The road is in county
not far from Chicago. The state might
be Indiana, Illinois or Wisconsin. Any
one of them could furnish the road. 1t
was road which appeared to have
warped in drying. The middle OF the
ridge was fiuted like dashboard. AT
places the ruts broadened and deepened
into holes large enough for graves. 1t
was slow travelling, for the light buggy
lurched and struggled on It's squeaking
springs. The old soldier held on with
both hands and delivered himself of
this opinion: 'If I'm ever in service
again and want to cover retreat, I'll
detail township supervisor to stay be-
hind and work the roads. It'll be just
as GOOD as burning bridges"
This road had been ''worked"-in
fact, overworked.
The neighboring farmers had plowed
it lengthwise and crosswise. Afterward
they scraped the dirt up toward the

simple Device Which Has Given Satisfac-

The following note is contributed to
the Rural New-Yorker by Mr.. A. G.
Chapman, and may afford useful sug-
gestion, though it seems to us that one
might far better get ripening vat, the
best device being emphatically the
cheapest in dairying.
1t is a good deal of trouble to keep
cream at proper temperature in win
ter. If the whole mllk-room is kept
warm, it costs a good deal for fuel, as
no fire is needed where the creamer is
used. If the cream has to 60 behind
the stove in the living room, it is much
in the way, and may absorb some Of
the odors from the cooking vegetables
1t makes u good deal of hard Juggling

All kinds of poultry will eat the soft
young of the potato beetle, and some
will even eat the adult beetle, but un-
less the beetle is killed before it is
swallowed it will remain alive in the
crop, the result usually being the death
of the bird. There are many insects
which fowls will not touch for that
reason, as the hens have no teeth to
masticate them, and must swallow
them alive unless they happen to strike
the insect with the beak during the
process of attempting to use them as
food.-Farm and Fireside. b..

them up from the bottom of the box so
that the air can pass under them. Any
ordinary lamp can be used, but a tin

undoubtedly costs the country, and the
farmers of it especially, every year
vastly more than the interest on the
largest sum necessary to put them in

in most things, should, rs simple
matter of fact, be behind the whole

Curiosities of Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia.

There is plenty of game in Newfound-
land, but not reptile of any kind
snake. toad, frog, lizard, or even turtle.
Another queer thing about the province
is that while some wild animals are
abundant there, no one ever saw a
squirrel, porcupine, mouse orlynx any
where within its boundaries. This is
all the more singular because the ad-
joining provinces of Nova Scotia and
Cape Breton have all of these animals
and many kinds of snakes and other
reptiles. On the other hand the Arctic
hare is abundant in Newfoundland,
but not in Nova Scotia or Cape Breton.
The summer nights of Nova Scotia are
made brilliant by fireflies, but no FREELY
ever lights up a Newfoundland noe
turnal landscape by its sparkling light
Yet there are swamps and boys innu-
merable in Nova Scotia which one
would naturally suppose would be the
choicest kind of breeding places and
retreats for reptiles OF all kinds, to say
nothing of insects, of which there is a
remarkable scarcity in Newfoundland
