Feeding Jersey Calves.

| believe that no fixed rule can be
adopted for feeding calves. Some calves
will take double the amount Of milk at
the same age that others can. We take
the calf from its dam the third day and
place it in a small box stall by itself.
We feed it its mothers milk twice a
day, being sure that the milk is warm.
A little hot water added is good plan.
We keep little clover hay within reach
Of the calf, even when it is ! week old.
When the calf is about l month old,
we begin to add warm skimmilk and in
crease the quantity Of skimmilk from
time TO time. and decrease the amount
Of its mothers milk until il is Z or S
weeks old, when it will thrive on all
skimmilk with a little oilmeal added.
The oilmeal should be thoroughly
cooked. When about l month old, we
begin to feed the calf ground oats and
bran mixed, giving il small handful
twice a day. As soon as it begins to eat
freely it should be given as much as 1t
will eat up clean. If we have skimmilk
TO spare, we feed it until the calf is
year old, but when or Z months old it
will do well without milk.
During tho summer months we turn
the calves into a paddock, where they
can have plenty Of fresh air, exercise
and fresh water We think it is just as
we'll not 10 have them run to pasture I'M
I'll after they are year old.-P. j.

Dutch Dairy Show ut Edam.


From Brock 10 Edam, the home Of the
famous round Dutch cheese, is about 40
minutes ON the train. A great dairy
show and general exhibition were going
ON while ] was in Holland. and l was
curious to visit this famed town and to
see how they conducted fair. The
town itself is very much like all the
small Dutch towns. The entire place is
cut up with canals, and 10 get TO the ex
hibition one must cross a great many
drawbridges. The streets are narrow,
but all paved with brick or stone. Some
Of the houses lean toward the street and
some away from it, The usual number
Of side shows, candy shops and restau
rants lined the way. Flags were flying
III all directions, while arches OF roses
and plants spanned the streets. The
Mace for holding the fair. strange to
say. was in the grounds Of one Of the
large churches aud in some Of the out
bindings or sheds which apparently be-
lonped 10 the church. The sheep and
cattle were standing on streets adjoin
ing the church. entrance being obtained
through the fence which surrounded
them.
The first place visited Of interest to
dairymen was an exhibit Of dairy uten-
sils. These goods were got up in excel
lent style. and many of them were
unique. For instance, gang press for
edams was constructed somewhat as
follows: A trough (similar TO "a Cana
dian gang press) is elevated at one end
about five feet. At the other end is a
wheel 10 which are attached three small
ropes. the center one Of which extends
over the elevated end and has weight
attached. On each side Of the wheel is
q rope which is connected with a frame
that applies continual pressure to the
cheese, according TO the weight which Is
attached 10 the center cord. A set Of
pasteurizing apparatus looked very nice,
but would be rather expensive for ordi-
nary dairy work. The cooler was large
corrugated circular tin with water on
the inside; the milk trickles over the
outside. DIR. Gerber's centrifugal milk
tester and also the Lister Babcock were
on exhibition.
From here to the hall where the edam
and gouda cheeses were shown was a
short distance, but the great crowd
made il rather difficult to get through.
Some Of the cheeses were finished in
very fine style, having been coated with
linseed oil, which made the smooth
rinds on these round cheeses glisten like
glass.
Some were made in pineapple form
and some coated with purple coloring
matter and some were wrapped III tin
foil. Most Of the cheeses for export are
colored on the outside and wrapped in
foil. When cut in two, they are some
what open in appearance. There was al
so a large exhibit Of goudas, and quite
a lot Of butter. The latter did not look
very tempting.-H II. Dow in Mont
real Herald.

Mrs. Smith went to Illinois on visit

The st. Peter Tribune takes it for
granted that E. P. Byram is genuine
member of the medical fraternity. In
it's issue of last week it has the follow
ing two items touching on Redwood
Falls: "A doctor in Redwood Falls tried
to kill himself by placing cartridge in
his pipe; the cartridge exploded and
blew the pipe into many pieces, but not
the man. The bullet went the wrong
way. The first stock
fair of Redwood county was held at
Redwood Falls yesterday. These
monthly fairs are benefit to the town

the Redwood people will profit by the
enterprise.
The weekly crop bulletin for the week
ending Monday, Aug, "a, says: The
weather over the State was clear until
the middle of the week, after which
time cloudy or partly cloudy weather
prevailed, with showers, which were
not evenly distributed. They We're
generally light except for rain of 1.60
inches in Mobiles county on Friday. In
portions of the Southwestern section,
rain is needed badly, especially in Wa
tOnwan and Cottonwood counties, and
even where there have been showers
more is generally needed for the fall
ploughing. The day temperatures were
probably below the normal maximum
till Friday, when they became higher,
going down again on Saturday. AL
though the night temperatures were
low during the early part of the week
they did not reach the frost line, and
during the latter part Of the week were
higher. In the northern section wheat
harvest is still in progress, but many
have finished. Oats and barley will
hardly be ready for cutting for two
weeks. A very light frost occurred on
the mornings of the 18th and 18th in
KittsOn county, but no damage result
ed. In the southwest section nearly all
the wheat is stacked and threshing is
in progress. Corn is doing well. Second
crop flax is poor and is not ripening
well. The rains of Friday night were
beneficial to corn and pastures and
helped ploughing in some counties, es-
pecially Lincoln, Murray, Mobiles and
Jackson, but the long drought in Wa
tonowan and Cottonwood counties con-
tinues with resulting damage to corn.
In the southeast section threshing is in
PROGRESSES; wheat is said to be shriveled
Corn is maturing slowly and will be
good crop with two weeks of good
weather. Showers fell on Friday, but
more rain is needed for ploughing,
which is being pushed as rapidly as
possible. Late clover seed has been in
jured by the nudge, but very early rip
ened clover is well seeded. Grapes are
exceptionally fine.
