FARM FAGOIS.

As rule, calves are fed altogether too
much the first two weeks OF their lives,
and they soon get where they do not
digest their food and begin TO lose
ground instead OF thriving AS they
should. IL calves are overfed there Is
great danger of so disarranging their
digestive functions that they may
never fully recover from the trouble,
and consequently are never In q condi-
ton profitably to assimilate the food
given. This will necessarily put them In
such condition that they will never be
able 10 make the milk or butter they
could, were they differently treated 10
the early DAYS OF their lives. There Is
much 10 learn regarding the proper man
ayemeut OF calves and the solution OF
the question means considerable proht'
The farmer never loses anything by
sssociating with others who are Older
and have had more experience. The best
way TO learn how TO farm Is TO find out
what the most progressive know, and
how they do things In their practice. We

ment when others are ready and willing

LIVE STOCK THE BEST CROP.

The remark is often heard, FARMERS
must have q money crop" Occasionally
q farmer Is met who Il all the time try
ing to grow crops for sale direct for
cash. In certain cases and TO & certain
extent this may be good practice, but
out In the country the cases are rare
where farmer will score q success In
that way. Ass rule, such = farmer is
a victim to every new scheme for cash
crop that comes along. IL may be sweet
corn, beans, squashes or pickles--he tries
them sll Ia turn and succeeds with none.
Failing this year with pickles, next year
he tries squashes only 70 repeat bis mis-.

on limited scale can q farmer out In a
country town ever gain q substantial
advantage through such farming. There
are too many failures. IL takes skill TO
grow these special crops In sufficient
bounty to make anything out Of them.
that needed skill. The farmer has not
acq uired 1t, hence his effort Is more or
less q failure. Running after leash
crops" Is not the highway TO success on
the farm.
Live stock and Its products are the crop
for the farmer TO tie TO. Starting with
good stock and forging right along with
out quibbling or deviation In that line
there Is no question about the outcome.
The money will be realized through the
stock. No other ''cash crop" will be
necessary. All the farm crops should
be grown for the keep Of the stock.
They are worth more to be dispOs ed OF
In that way than any cash they will bring
by direct sale. Illustrations Of the re-
liability OF this kind Of farming are too
numerous to be ignored. IL matters
little what the line Of stock. Ii 10 the
