There are some queer things prac-
ticed by dairymen in the matter of rails
ing their calves that are to be the future
cows In their dalres. For instance they
VIII start them in for few weeks in

and dry, and the ilos are at their hest

or sun worse, into meadow Just mown,
and lot them struggle for an existence

, meadow Just cut or dried up pasture grass.
The result is without exception that they
fall away in flesh. and TO all Appearances
stop growing entirely.
These same farmers generally leave
their calves out Just as long In the full
as they Gun pick n living in fence
corners and by browsing on the bushes
around the field, hardly ever bringing
them to the stable until there IL n snow
fall sufficient to cover the ground. and
when they are stabbed seldom are they
fed anything except hay or straw, and they
ARE not much larger than they were months
before
This Is the common practice among
daifymcn. NOW | VIII VIII give what
consider the best and most profitable
way. Start the calf In on a small
ration of milk. feed II not less than
three times per day Keep 1t in clean.

tho age when II wants 1t. Be careful
about feeding grain until calves are old
enough to chew eud, and at that time
let the grain ration DO light one OF
bran, middlings or oats preferably oats).
Go slow on increasing either milk or
grain ration because once overfed the
chances are you will injure their diges-
ton. and when this is done, you have
caused a trouble that may last them life

doubt very much II there Is more
important factor In the success OF the
swine breeder than the reputation he
has slowly built up by honest dealing.
Judicious advertising and a fair repre-

And ] believe there Is no business in
life where sound judgment and unfair
nished honor is more essential than In
breeding live stock. The swine breeder
who once earns this reputation has .
stepping stone to his fortune. There
are plenty Of men today who can raise
good pigs that do not possess enough
business ability to get their money out
Of them. The question often arises In
the mind Of the breeder. what proper.

among many breeders is 70 place 80 per

MlthOhs of the Blind.

The blind man has to depend almost
entirely on the accuracy of his ears to
guide him wherever he may wish TO go,
and il is remarkable in what a short
.lIe be becomes familiar with q new
iocalty and fresh surroundings.
rev people are aware of the powers
d the ear. but the blind, through CON
saht exercise Of that organ, are able to
discover objects almost as rapidly as
SEEING person.
Flor instance when walking in per
'#t m, he can ascertain the proxlm-
y l' objects by the feeling of the at
