How to- Feed the C.lvs..

After calves have had milk for four
weeks they will eat grain finely ground
and little hay or grass. When they
are three weeks old they may be
taught to take a little mixed oat and
linseed meal from the hand, and In
two or three days will eat it from a
feed box. A good substitute for the
milk Is oats, peas and bran in equal
parts, with one-fourth part of linseed,
ground together. This is mixed with
boiling water or with cold water and
then boiled, adding . teaspoonful of
salt TO feed of four quarts. To begin
with this the feeding should COM

taken from them, and the grain

a. the Raising.
The profit or loss in the ai'op depends
fully as much on the way 1t is cared foi
and marketed as upon its successful
production. As a rule 1t does not take
the same amount OF care and ingenuity
to produce good crop as 1t does to
care for It and market IL to the best
advantage and at the least cost.
A great many products are injured
by too much handling, and with the
crude methods used IL can hardly be
avoided What Is needed is an improve.
ment in methods. The usual methods
for handling potatoes, for instance,
practiced by majority Of producers,
is to pick them up in baskets and empty
them into pits or into the wagon box,
when they have to be handled again
by hand or with fork or shovel, and
either spend a good deal of time in
picking them up by hand or injure
them and start decay by bruising them
with shovel or fork. VT. h. Terry, in his
"A b G of Potato Culture" tells us 9
better way.
For several years I have been using

One of the good uses of clover is to
make pasture for pigs by which the
cheapest meat may be made and of the
best quality. This will also improve
the land at the lme time. Turn the
pigs in such a pasture, but divide it SO
that part only may be fed down at
one time and change made, which
will afford fresh feed, and economize
the feeding and make 1t go fourth
further at least. In this pasture give
the skinned milk and stir 1t in half "a
pound of bran for each pig daily. Add
tablespoonful of salt for each pig in
this feed. Continue this until the corn
is about ready for cutting; then gather
the soft ears and feed these to the pigs
The only food that will count as cost
will be the clover and' the bran, and
the clover will be fully paid for by the
manure, as the land will be much en-
riched by the milk and the bran. Pork
msy be made in this way for under
two cents pound, not counting the
benefit of the land. Rural World.
