How to Turn a Promising Calf Into a
Profitable Cow.
+ When calves are intended to be
grown for cows it is great mistake to
feed them so heavily as to increase the
tendency to fatten. Often this can be
seen at birth in the thick, bull-like
neck and heavy head. In such case it
is best to fatten and sell to the butcher,
no matter what stock may be it's ances-
try. But frequently also the calf which
seems to be all right for good mixer
is fed so heavily and on such fattening
food that it's tendency for life to pro-
5duce fat and beef rather than milk and
butter is fully established. To grow a
good cow the calf should not be stunted,
says American Cultivator. That will
impair digestion, which is just as i'm
portant for the COW as it is for beef
animal. Calves intended to be kept for
cows should have much succulent food,
with enough of the kind of nutrition re-
quired to make large growth. Then it
will be well developed and come early
into heat. It is always advisable to
breed as early as possible. Then when
the tendency to milk production has
been fully established. good feeding
with the best food will turn the product
of the feed into the milk pail, where it
will be most for the farmers profit to
have it, m 6 -r---

HUNTING THAT RAISED THE -.
900. ANTE OF HIS BOY ANDY.

JINGLE JOE SHROPSHIRE is one of
u the toughest and earnest woods
men in all northern Pennsylvania, al
though he is now past IS. The other
day he came into the tavern at this
little lumber settlement with the pelts
of two enormous wildcats strung over
his shoulder. They were the largest of
the kind ever seen in this region, where
big wildcats are no uncommon sight.
Uncle Joe was soon surrounded by a
group of curious loungers, and every
body wanted to know where he got the
big wildcat skins. He threw them on
the floor, leaned up against the bar, and
said:
"Whar did I git 'em? Why, peeled
'em often the two varmints they crowd
on. O course! Whar did we 'spect l
got 'em? An had sight o. fun a
dom of it, too. Ye all remember how
that boy Andy o. mine tackled the. big
buck he wounded last fall, an how he
fit it for well-nigh an hour till he was
all but tore to pieces hisself before he
killed it: That fight O his n was about

an came out NIL hunky, but I KEEP a
thnkin' to myself that didn't calc'late
to let Andy be the only man there was
in this deestric', and ben keepin' my
eye peeled ever since for little streak

every bar or buck I shot allus seemed to
drop deader'n stone. There want
no fight left in 'em. I begun to think
that l guessed I'd have to wait till mex
fan or winter. when t'other day I ac-
cident1y diskivered that there was a
big bar sloshin' round in Keiley's Hol-
Ter, not fur, nuther, from whar Andy
made his big buck give it up. I says
nothin' to nobody, but one day calls
old Jackson, my dog, an says to my
