Feeding Cslves.

some calves. Prof. H. e. Emery thus
tells the story and the results of the
experiment: Two calves from grade
Jersey heifers were left on their dams
until six and three days old respective
II. The first day from dams, the
calves We're fed freshly drawn moth
er's milk with nothing in it. The sec
ond day So mothers milk and 3-S sep
arated milk was fed. This proportion
OF mixing was continued five days.
Then one pound Of fresh milk to four
pounds of separated milk was fed five
days. The third period of five days
the calves drank six pounds each Of
separated milk twice daily with one
ounce Of ground oats stirred into each
mess.
During the fourth period Of Ave days
seven pounds of separated milk with
one ounce each of ground oats and
wheat were consumed at each Of two
feeds by each calf. For the fifth
period Of five days eight pounds Of
separated milk with one ounce each of
ground oats and wheat as before, con-
stituted the feed per morning or even
ing for each calf.
From the beginning of this feeding
about spoonful Of lime water has
been added to each feed. There vas
no securing aud both calves have
grown well. This is shown in the
gains of over one pound for one calf
and one and quarter for the other
calf per day.

Glover for Hogs.

We have had several inquiries about
the value Of steamed cut clover for
hogs, and in answer to them we re-
print the following. "Cure some clio
yer for the hogs to eat next winter.
Gut Il when in full blossom and put It
where 1t can be had, 90 the hogs can
Be foddered with 1t twice day. My
hogs will almost winter on 1t. They
will eat it as hay, or better II cut and
wet with little bran or meal put on It.
A corn man may laugh at my notion,
but ! will beat him In pigs In the
spring and In profits In the fall. This
suggestion is worthy OF q trial, espec-
tally ~ It seems reasonable. At con-
ventiOn of Wisconsin dairymen, Mr..
Stephen Favill gave q most instruc-
tive address about clover, which he
considers the ''dairyman's sheet an
Choir" Among the other points insist
ed ON, was the wisdom OF putting
hogs on clover pasture In summer. He
surprised the convention by asserting
that more pounds Of pork can he made
from one acre OF clover than from an
acre Of corn. The proof he submitted
In support OF this statement was az
follows: Fifty bushels OF shelled corn
would be fully an average yield per
acre. and twelve pounds OF pork for .
bushel Of corn (Afty-six pounds) would
be fully up to the average. That would
give 600 pounds for the acre Of corn.
An acre Of good clover win pasture
eight hogs from the time clover starts
in tin fall. A fair, feeder Of hog
weighing 100 pounds, on being turned
out III the soring. will gain another 100
pounds by fall. without any other feed
than clover. That would be 500
pounds az against GOO hounds Of corn.

IT'D tho falling snow he went and the
belA were pea1ing the old year ont
and tho new one In.
Inside the Clayton mansion all was
Aushed and quiet. The only daughter
was ct deaths door and the new year
came In with sorrow and dread. There
| she lay for many weeks with her blue
eyes closed and her fair head tossing
Ia delirium. Remorse came to the
fathers heart and he tried to find
John Westbro0k, but In vain. His let
ters were returned unopened. by her
bedside he watched day and night,
until she was pronounced out OF dam
ger. The doctors told him his child
would never be very strong again. The
flower had been crushed and it would
always be weak and delicate.
So the year passed on. She was al
ways sweet and lovable to him, doing
many little tasks for his comfort, but
she seldom smiled and the sad express
sion did not die out Of her eyes, and
her father knew that she was not
happy. Many times he tried to tell
her how he was trying to find John
WestbroOk, but she would always lay
her finger upon his lips and say, "Not
now, dear father, walt awhile until
am stronger" and he waited. He took
her to Italy, but she seemed to Ian
grlish there, ana when they returned
she was much better In her own home.
At Christmas time she was strong
enough to visit some Of the poor in
the neighborhood and was happier
than she had been for long time.
| You are better, my child" said her
| father, as he bent down ana hissed
her forehead.
Yes. Don't you know why? He is
| coming. John Is coming soon. and I
am counting the days until New Years
eve
| Ethel, men are very changeable be-
ings: do not hope too much. John
Westbrook sent back my letters un-

"Hope? she cried. do not hope?
Father, I have lived on nothing else
for these two years. It has been my
guiding star, my thread Of life. l
would have persisted long ago IL 1t had
not been for hope. He will come to
| me, know" and the father could say
nothing more but walt.
It was again New Years eve. The
snow outside Fell softly and the bells
| began to peal the old year out and the
new one In. A faint flush had come
| into the girls cheeks and the old-time
light flashed into her eyes. She wore
well, and her father waited and
watched with her. Suddenly footsteps
