As TO YARDS OR RUNS.

The following sensible remarks on
the subject are from an Australian
paper quoted in Farm, Poultry. The
fence recommended is, we think, a
foot too high for the medium class of
fowls, and two feet too high for Asia
tics:
''The yards or runs, if possible,
should be grass plots, but, of course,
many may not be able to provide such;
in that case they will have to supply
the grass in the shape of green food
by feeding their fowls with lettuce,
cabbage leaves, turnip tops, etc. For
real comfort and less care nothing can
beat good clean grass run. AS to
space absolutely necessary to keep
fowls in good health, nearly all poul-
try men agree that it requires ten
square feet of run for each bird of
moderate size, and about half as much
again for the larger breeds.
The best material for enclosing a
run or yard is wire netting, two inch
mesh, three feet VIDE, with three pal
ings at bottom, or boards laid longi
tudinally from post to post to the
height of three feet, the posts for the
fence to be about eight feet long and
not less than four inches in diameter
square, and six or eight inches if in
the round. If the posts are not placed
more than nine or ten feet apart the
netting will keep in better order, and
look neater, besides lasting longer.
A good plan, where the owner has
the room, is to make two medium
sized yards out Of ore fairly large
yard, and run the fowls in one while
the other has a rest; in this way you
get more out OF the space than if you
allowed the fowls to run all over. 1t
is wonderful how quick run that has
been eaten down short will recover,
and produce nice green grass, if the
weather is at all favorble. Of course.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that
Contain Mercury.

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell

rive from them. HALLS Catarrh Cure, manufacture

OUR FARMERS.
RAISING CALVES.

The Rural NelU Yorker has the fol-
lowing advice upon this subject:
"In deciding what is best to feed
with skim milk to young calves, it is
well to consider what has taken from
the milk. The natural food for young
calves is the whole milk from the the
cow. In skimming milk, only the fat
is removed, thus the solid portions
left are largely heterogeneous. Then the
foods to be added to make up COM
plete ration with the skim milk should
contain fair proportion of fat to
that which has been removed. Often
linseed meal is recommended, but this
is not satisfactory because the fat has
been removed. One of the best foods
is ground f1axseed, which contains a
large percentage of fat or oil, which
is easily digested. This may be fed in
small quantities with good results. 1t
would be better to keep the calf for
about a week from the time of it's
birth on new milk, as it takes only a
small quantity, and the calf will do
enough better to pay the cost. After
this time skim milk may be given and
with it a mixture Of equal parts of
cornmeal and ground faxseed. This
must at first be mixed with the milk,
but as soon as the calf can be taught
to eat dry grain, it should be made to
eat it dry and the skim milk fed
clear.
When the calf begins to eat dry
food the f1axseed may be discon tinued
and a mixture of equal parts by weight
of ground corn and oats may be CIV
en-, or wheat bran may be fed instead
of the oats. Then, too, the calf should
have hay as soon as it shows any de-
sire to eat it. The calf should be put
on dry grain as soon as possible, so
that it would form the habit early of
chewing the cud, and the grain fed
in this way will be more digestible
than when fed in the milk. The
amount of grain to be fed needs to be
governed largely by the feeder. In
several exceptions which have been
conducted in feeding calves, it has
been found that they have made a
nice growth on the ratio of 3 pounds
of grain to one calf for one third
pound of grain per day, but of course
the latter part of the ninety days the
calf would eat much more corn than
at the beginning. Just a small hand
full in the milk is enough to begin
with. The longer the calf can be kept
on skim milk the better growth it
would be expected to make. But |
when the calf is from three to four
months old the milk may be gradually |
withheld. This will necessitate a
change in the grain ration, and as the
quantity of meal decreases, the pro-
portion of corn fed should also de-
crease until, when the milk is with
drawn entirely, the corn does not |
form more than one fourth of the |
grain ration, the remainder consisting
of bran, middlings, oats and the
like"
