PLAIN COMMON SENSE.
Really Nothing Else Is Required 10
Raise Healthy Calves Under
Ordinary Conditions.

In all my experience / never lost but
one young calf while it was sucking its
dam. That was many years ago when
Hungarian grass first put in an appear
ance with us, and the hay fed to the
cow killed the calf, writes a contribu-
tor to Homestead. The milk cabed in
the calf's stomach. My experience has
always been to restrict the feed of the
cow for two or three weeks before
calving, and if this is properly done
think there will, as rule, be no scours
il the calf. The fatter the cow the
more care is necessary. l have had
COWS come IL that were fit for The
butchers block, ana have allowed the
calves to take all the milk they would,
and this, too, without harm to them.
When the COW is not Oh grass / feed
hay, and not too much, with no grain
whatever for at least a week before
calying. l also give a little wheat bran
every other day for the sake of It's
regulating effect. Let the cow get
little hungry at this time, and it will
not hurt her, while it will benefit the
calf. This way of feeding with me has
always got the COW and her milk in
such a condition that the calf can have
all it wants of it, and only take away
what is left. Sometimes the calf may
be little constipated, and when this
is so feed more bran and all will come
right. With me the question has not
been so much the quantity as the quail
ity of milk that makes the healthy
calf. l invariably leave the COW and
calf together for the first week or two.
During the month of May the COW
should be on the grass, but as calying
time draws near she should be in the
stable at night. In June, when the
grass should be at its best, look out for
milk fever. If you have a lot where
the grass is short and not too plenti-
full, that is the best place for her. The
main idea that l would impress is
when the cow is fat and has been
fed high for about three weeks before
calving, the rich feed must be take
away or scours in the calf will follow.
You may think it an epidemic or call
it what you will, but / am satisfied this
is the cause that kills many calf and
what will kill one will kill more. think
the idea here advanced applies to horses
and hogs as well. AS to the sheep,
know nothing about them.

HANDLING CORN FODDER.
When Cut at the Right Time, and
Properly Cured, 1t Is Mine of
Wealth to Farmers.

Corn fodder is not an article of com
merce, but as a feed it is worth about
as much, acre for acre, as hay. In or
der to get the most out of corn fodder
it is necessary for the farmer to keep
stock enough to consume it all and to
cut, cure and save it in the best pos
sible condition. 1t should be cut when
most of the husks have turned brown.
If cut earlier it is apt to be injured by
molding in the shock or by warm rains
before it is thoroughly cured. If it is
left standing too long it declines stead
lily in value as feed until it is worth
less. Shocks should contain from 100
to 100 hills. Smaller shocks leave too
much of the fodder exposed to the ac-
ton of the air. sunshine and rains
which injure the outer leaves and stalks.
AS soon as the corn will do to crib it
should be husked, the fodder shredded
and run into a NOV in the barn; it is
then secure from injury anu is in the
very best form to feed and also to use
as bedding. The cheapest way to husk
and shred the fodder is to use ma
chine which does both at one operation.
Shredded fodder will not make animals
mouths sore as that cut in short
pieces does. Another good method OF
caring for fodder is to tie it in bundles
as it is husked, and haul it into the barn
or stack it in long, narrow ricks that
can be used from the end as wanted. If
the bundles are set up in the field in
large shocks and securely tied, the fod-
der will keep well nearly all winter
Fodder left standing in the field to be
CLEANED over by the stock is mostly
wasted and is a nuisance on any farm.
1t is also hard to pillow under for the
next crop and it is an expensive job to
break it off, rake and burn it. When
cut, properly cured and cared for, and
fed to stock, corn fodder is mine of
wealth.-Evan /. Chalfant, in Prairie
Farmer.

Manuring the Pear Tree.

Late in summer is the best time to ap-
ply stable manure to pear trees. 1t
should always be used as top dressing,
and if the soil is moderately fertile little
or no stable manure will be needed.
Too much stable manure plowed in the
soil creates an excess of all kinds of
germs in contact with the pear tree
roots; these are absorbed and sent up
into the tee, causing blight. If the
stable manure is applied in August or
September as top dressing the tree gets
no benefit from it until spring, and will
then make healthy growth. Most of
the manure for pear trees or any other
kind of fruit trees should be mineral,
potash. phosphate ard lime.

QUITE ENTHUSIASTIC.
Massachusetts Good Roads Advocates
Have n Ciam-Dal<e and Listen
to Words of Wisdom.

Monson, Mass, is some times called
"the home of trap rock" and since trap
rock is the foundation stone of the
good roads movement, it isn't strange
that as many as 160 good roads advo-
Gates gathered at the annual clam
bake, recently held in that city by mem
bers of the Connecticut Valley Highway
association. In his opening address
President w. L. Dickinson said:
81 do not think it is necessary for me
to call attention to the object of this
meeting, as you are all enthusiastic
good roads men. Many of you have
travelled long distance to attend this
meeting for the purpose of giving and
securing all the information possible
on the construction and maintenance
of roads. Those of us who have been
engaged in this work for long term of
years realize to the fullest extent that
we have very much to learn, but in every
state, city and town we find plenty of
people without any experience in this
line of work who think they know it all,
and insist that this work shall be done
just as they direct, with the result that
our hands are often tied in such a man
ner that our taxpayers are called upon
repeatedly to pay the bills for the ex-
pensive mistakes of these well-meaning
citizens This will continue until the
people appreciate the fact that the con-
struction and maintenance of roads is
just as much trade as any other bust
ness
''We have another class that desire to
beat the state, cities and towns in vari-
Gus ways, and because we endeavor to
prevent them from doing so, as we are
in duty bound, they will misconstrue
the facts in every way possible to the
public, for the purpose of gaining their
ends. We must have systematic work.
A plan should be adopted in every state,
city and town, and at least portion of
it carried out each year, and the differ
ent road materials should only be used
in their proper place, according to the
different conditions that exist in each
and every street.
"a proper system of maintenance
should be adopted. Whatever road ma
terial you use will in time need careful
repairs by men skilled in this work.
The old adage a stitch in time saves
nine applies here"
