Dairy Calves.

On the Hood farm when a calf is
dropped it is left with its mother for "a
or SO hours 1t is then put in a COM
Portable pen and taught to drink Most
of them learn very quickly. After this
it is fed three times day with two
quarts of it's mothers milk, morning
and evening fresh drawn, and at noon
the mornings milk warmed to about so
degrees. Good fine hay with whole oats
or a mixture of ground oats and bran
with a little oilmeal are put where
the calf can reach it, and it is surpris-
ing how soon they will begin to eat the
hay and oats. After six weeks they re-
ceive slzimmilk from the separator
warmed to 80 degrees, with the grain
mixture given above This is continued
for six months the quantity depending
on the age and size Of the calf Up to s
months old they are kept in pens, where
they have abundant chance to exercise
At that age, if it is a proper season,
they are turned to pasture. Salt is kept
where they can go to it as they please.
and they are looked after every day,
but no feed is given excepting such as
they obtain i'll the pasture unless the
grass supply is short. If it is winter,
they are given good hay, corn fodder
and ensilage, with little grain feed to
keep them in good condition They are
bred SO as to come in fresh about 2
years old, without regard to the season.

letting the paper lap over about one

crumples up. Moving the hands in OPP
posite directions, smooth the edge
around she outside of the tub until the
two ends meet. The paper being wet,
it will stick to the tub. Hold the two
corners with one hand and press the lin
ing down inside the tub You will then
have about one inch on the bottom of

This big fellow is owned in New

is an imported animal.
Another imported ram is seen in the
second illustration, long wooded sheep
of the Lincoln breed.
English breeders of Lincoln sheep are
making strenuous efforts to make the
wool of these animals finer, longer and
heavier. The result is a steady improve
ment of these heaviest of all sheep,
Their fleece sometimes weighs nearly or
quite 80 pounds and fiber of it is nine
inches long. 1t is wonder that more
pains is not taken to acclimate the Lin
coin in the United States There are a
few fiocks of these long wooded sheep,
but they are not common This may
partly be owing 20 the fact that the
heavy Lincoln requires the most care of
any breed, that it must have rich, juicy

In Greater New York there are said
to be about 500, 900 horses kept for bust
ness or pleasure. Rural New Yorker
says that these horses consume an aver
age Of 10 pounds of hay and 10 pounds
of grain per day This means S12, 800
tons of hay and over 100000 tons of
grain in the course of year. There are
only 1 states in the country that, sim
ely, produce hay enough to feed these
New York horses. The states of Rhode
Island, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana,
South Carolina, Alabama. Mississippi
and Georgia all combined could hardly
supply hay enough in their total crops
to last these horses for | / months AS
for the grain, it is enough to say that
the entire oat crop of New England
would feed these horses only about IS
months.

BALKY HORSES.
Keep Cool, Keep the Team Cool and Don't
Overload.

Overload.
Abuse ruins the best of horses, so
keep cool, keep the team cool, use good
judgment and save time and much trou-
bic. I have handled balky horses by
way of trading and buying, and when
one would take a set [ would take my
time to get started, fix SO the load could
start easily, 1naneuver the horse to the
right and left few times, use the whip
lightly about his hind legs as though l
were not caring whether he started or
not, till he seemed ready to start, and
started quietly as though he had just
learned that he could start, and contin-
ued all right, and baking was ended.
l have known four powerful strong
pulling horses killed under the whip
Two died in the gears and two dwin-
died awhile and died. 1t is strange how
strong a horse will pull when once he
has learned to know his strength And
now l am at the place where the good
horseman or driver knows his business
and knows when he has loaded too
heavily unawares, and will not over
pull and strain his team or horses till
their nerve and muscular power is ex-
hausted. He will hitch on more team
or unload soma but an inexperienced
driver overloaded on wet and soft
ground is most apt to stall SO that it
will be impossible for the full strength
of the team to start the load. This is
where balky horses are made by lack OF
good Judgment. The team is soon spoil
ed or fooled till they refuse to pull all
the good pulling has been pulled out Of
them, and they are in the same fix as a
horse that has been broken of pulling
back on the halter, having been tied Sc
curely to a willow bush that would
spring, causing him to pull more vigor-
ously than ever, and pulled his utmost
till he gives it up, never to pull back on
the halter again. The effect is much
the same on a team that is called balky.
None but an expert with the team can
undo the spoil and make the spoiled
team as good as ever. | can't explain
the modus operandi or make it clear to
the understanding Of the unslzillful
driver.
In conclusion mention something Of
special importance--that is, playing
tricks on colts and horses for sport and
frightening them SO they are unsafe. Il
is written IN the Proverbs, /" A horse is
a vain thing for safety" They natural
" are easily frightened and spoiled
