ABOUT FEEDING CALVES
It Should He sterilised First J.
OF All Things.

Sterilized skim-milk IL good for
scours. Heating of the milk seems to
produce chemical changes that help to.
prevent scours, and at the same time
enable the feeder to keep the milk in
good, sweet condition. Milk delivered
at the creamery contains large NUM-
bers of Tactic acid germs. Unless these
are destroyed by sterilizing, the skim
milk will sour in few hours When
sterilized and cooled to the tempera-
ture of well water, skim milk may b
kept sweet from 36 to 4s hours. Fed
ing sweet milk at one meal and sour at
another is very apt to cause scours
and stunt growth.
The stomach of q calf IL delicate and
sensitive. and any change of feed
should be made gradually. Do not
change from whole milk to skim milk
faster than pound Z day, allowing
ten days to two weeks for the change.
Before turning on pasture in the
spring, it is better to feed a little green
feed and gradually increase the
amount until the limit of the calf is
reached; otherwise the calf may suffer
severely from scours by the sudden
change to pasture.
Several complaints have reached us
about skim milk intended for calves
souring, even when placed in tubs of
cold water as soon as received from the
creamery. Sterilized skim milk will
rot sour until it is cooled to about blood
temperature. A can of hot milk will
warm tub of water to abont that tenn
perature, and as the milk is cooled at
the same time, the best conditions are
offered for the development of Tactic
acid germs. The tub of water only
helps to keep the milk, at blood tenn
perature. Under such conditions the
water is worse than onthing. If hot
skim milk is cooled in tub, it should
be done by running water. A much
| better way would be to use cooler
and then place the can of milk in a tub
of cold water in order to keep it COOL

Profit in THINNING Fruit.

The practicability of thinning fruit
and its feasibility from commercial
standpoint have been pretty we'll DEM
onstrated in the last few years. In
western New York it has generally
proved profitable wherever tried. Mr..
John Craig reports, in the publications
of the (Canadian) central experimental
farm, some results in thinning peaches
and .plums which corroborate the notes
given from Mr.. Beach and others. He
concludes that, when large crop of
fruit is set, thinning peaches is highly
remunerative for the following rea-
sons: (1) It increases the weight of the
yield. (2) 1t largely increases the size
of the fruit. (3) It reduces the NUM-
ber of matured seeds, thereby consid-
erably lessening the drain on the vital
ity of the tree. ~ It renders the crop
less liable to rot. Thinning plums like
wise proved altogether worth while.

The Dairy Type Cow.

Careful experiments show that the
dairy type COW yields on an average
$500 pounds of milk yearly, while the
COW with beef heredity and tendency
yields 4,5O0 pounds under similar con-
ditions. When milk brings dollar .
hundred, as is now the case, the net
income from the butter from the dairy
COW, whose milk averages four per
cent. fat, is $45, while that from the
cow of beef type and whose milk only
averages IS per cent. fat, il only $27.
The feeding value Of the skim milk
giving four per cent. butter is worth
one-seventh more per pound than is the
milk containing 35 per cent. Adding
the actual value of skim milk of each
COW to the net returns for butter we
get from the dairy cows SIS and from
the other $33.--Farm, Stock and Home.

CAPT. BYRNE'S VICTORY.
Gen. Otis Sends Particulars Showing
1t to Have Been Even Greater
Than Reported.

Washington, July 24.-The war de-
partment has received from Gen. Otis
another dispatch giving additional par
ticulars of the fight between Capt. B.
A. Byrne, with 20 men of the Sixth in
fantry, and robber bands in the Island
of Negros. 1t shows that the victory of
the soldiers was greater: than that re-
ported in Gen. Otis dispatch of July 21,
and that the loss suffered by the rob-
bers was considerably larger than be-
fore stated. Much satisfaction is felt
by Gen. Otis over the results of this pre-
liminary effort in dealing with this dis
turbing element in the island, and he
reports it already as having salutary
effect on other bands infesting the 10.

Climate and Crop Bulletin.

The hot weather early in the week
was followed by general rain the 18th
and widely scattered showers in south
ern counties since then. In the mid
die west small area seems to have
had very little rain. South of the CEN
ter of the state the rains were locally
heavy, and south of the Minnesota val
ley, and eastward from Blue Earth and
Faribault counties, the rains are said
to have been very heavy, and accom-
panied by high winds, so that the
small grains were laid fat on the
ground over large areas, and in some
cases without the probability of their
rising sufficiently to fill we'll. In
northern counties the early sown
spring wheat is much better than the
later sown. The heat, moisture, lack
of wind have been more favorable for
the growth of rust than in previous
weeks, and reports of some rust come
from nearly every direction. Notwith-
standing these drawbacks. the condk-
ton of wheat in most of the state is
still very promising. Winter wheat is
being cut in southeastern counties.
