as much, acre for acre, as hay. In or

il is necessary for the farmer to keep
stock enough to consume il all and TO
cut, cure and save il in the best pos

most of the husks have turned brown.
III cut earlier il is apt TO be injured by
molding in the shock or by warm rains
before IL is thoroughly cured. If il is
left standing too long il declines stead
lily in value as feed until IL 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 il

PLAIN COMMON SENSE.
Really Nothing Else In Required 90
Rinse Healthy Calves Under
Ordinary Conditions.

In all my experience / never lost but
one young calf while IL 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 contribu-
tor TO Homestead. The milk calxed 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 IL this is properly done 1
think there will, as a ule, be no scours
in the calf. The fatter the COW the
more care is necessary. ! have had
cows come in that were fit for The
butchers block, and have allowed the
calves TO take all the milk they would,
and this, too, without harm TO them.
When the COW is not on grass I feed
hay, and not too much, with no grain
whatever for at least a week before
calving. / also give n little wheat bran
every other day for the sake of It's
regulating effect. Let the cow get a
little hungry at this time, and IL will
not hurt her, while IL will benefit the
calf. This way of feeding with me has
always got the COW and her milk in
such n condition that the calf can have
all il wants of IL, 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. / 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 calving
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 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 taken
away or scours in the calf will follow
You may think IL an epidemic or call
il 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 10 horses
