A prime article of milk is necessary as

good cows, good feed and good care.

There are seventy-eight butter and
'heese factories in New Zealand. Farm
RS receive about 2 cents gallon for
milk, and the butter is forwarded to En-
,land. The freight charge for the entire
distance of 1900 miles is about 8 cents
pound.
RAISING CALVES BY HAND.
Getting calves well started and taught
o drink is an important point. There
5 a difference of opinion as to the method
f procedure. If taken away from the

urbed than when they are allowed to
