Rationa, Ration. for Calves.

Do not spoil the calf. Remember
that the dairy COW begins with the
calf and is easiest spoiled while young,
To feed calf on all kinds of fat-fo1 m.
ing foods is to create in her a tendency
to make beer, and she will hold to that
tendency. Better give her food that
will develop bone and muscle rather
than food that will make her blocky
We frequently see dairy papers urging
dairymen to feed their calves on skin,
milk, first removing the fat and put
ting it back in the form of oil meal
But the fat should not be put back at
all. The calf does not need it. AS the
skim milk will not continue to satisfy
the calf, oats may be added with adj
vantage. and are superior to corn for
developing the frame of the calf

the animal to turn around. This stall
should be from six to eight feet long.
In one Of the posts staple the end of a
chain long enough to easily reach across
the stall. This chain should have a
hook at the other end. A ring is bolted
into the other post to correspond to the
stapled end of the chain. After the
animal has been driven into the stall,
hook the end Of the chain into the ring
and it is as secure as though stan
chioned. The advantage Of this mode
is that it is easier to operate. One does
not have to drive the animal in and
then go, around to its head. Then it
is inexpensive. Besides this, the hair
is not rubbed off the neck as with a
stanchion, which means much to man
who takes pride in his stock or is rails
ing show animals. Ohio Farmer.

Changing IN the R,pe.,n<.

DR.. E. W. Allen. assistant director of
experimental stations in the agricul.
tural department at Washington, has
just returned from the west. after in
specting the various stations. One of
the most interesting matters to which
he devoted his attention was the col
lection of facts relating to cheesemak-
ing. The station at Wisconsin is TAX
ing the lead in this matter. and the
discoveries which have been made there
are at variance with those made in Flu
rope-that the ripening of cheese is
due to bacteria. American experiments
demonstrate beyond doubt that the
principal change in the albuminoids
which takes place in the ripening proc
ess is dependent upon the fermenta-
tion in the milk itself and not upon
the bacteria.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

If possible, raise your own COWS, but
IT you have to buy, test every animal
before you purchase, by milking her
yourself.
1t takes years Of perseverance and
experience to build up good dairy,
but only few weeks of mismanage-
ment to tear it down.
A thunderstorm is looked upon as an
adept IN the art of souring milk. but l
dread.a careless milk-pan washer much
more.
!. If some dafrymen would let political
fences .ione and. repair their farm
fences prosperity would come to them
galore.
The appearance of a butter package
is guide to the quality within. No
really good maker ever packs butter in
an untidy manner.
It should be considered as an accom-
piishment equal to proficiency in mu-
sic and painting, that,a farmers daugh-
ter be able to make frst-class butter.
OF late years, we hear Tess and less
about the worn-out lands of the east
ern states. Why? Because they are
being rejuvenated into some of the most
profitable dairy farms in America.
The butter maker who tries to pro-
duce good butter and cheese from poor
milk has harder task before him than
reaching the north pole. Dairymen,
take note of this, as you aerate your
milk, and wash aud scald the dairy
utensils.-American Cultivator.

sK1M.M1LK FOR CALVES
Out by Tests Mt the Iowa Ex.
pertinent Station.


The best method of raising calves on
skim milk is o matter of interest to
every farmer. In some tests made at
the Iowa station it was found that the
best and most economical gains were
made on cornmeal and skim milk. Lin
seed meal also gave lower and more ex-
pensiye gains and was in every way less
satisfactory than either oatmeal or
cornmeal and fax seed. 1t may be that
theresultsof these experiments are con-
trary to prevailing opinion concerning
the relative value of these feeds, but it
is not unnatural or in any way unreal
sonable that the carbonaceous grains
should be more suitable for feeding
with skim-milk than highly nitrogen
GUS product like linseed meal. Skim
milk is nitrogenous itself. Some experi-
ments were made in Holland to test the
effect of increasing the fat in skim-milk
for calves, or adding starch. Enough
whole milk was added to skim-milk to
make the desired amount of fat. When
starch was fed it was cooked to paste
in the skim-milk. About "a per cent. of
the starch was digested. the coefficient
of digestibility being as high as in the
case of the adult animal. The addition
of starch to the ration diminished the
digestibility of protein somewhat. 1t
was, however, on the whole considered
satisfactory. When it is,possible to
supply skim-milk containing protein,
and the supplemental catbohaceous
material in an inexpensive form, the
profitable feeding Of calves is assured.
In the experiments cited above carbo-
hydrates, either in form of starch or
cereal grains, were successfully COM
bined with skim-milk and in this way
the animal was supplied with an abund-
ance of protein and energy and made
good growth.-Ohio Farmer.

QUALITY AND NEWS

lions Of High-Class Newspapers.
In presenting interesting phases Of
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation of as great value in their adj
vertising columns as in those devoted
to the publication of the principal
events of the day; and when the fame Of
a product is extended beyond its natural
limits into foreign lands, and large de-
mand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and AZ
RIGA, it becomes pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of ex-
cellence on which so great success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs,
the product of the California Fig Syrup
Company. The merits of this we'll
known excellent laxative were first
made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers of
the United States; and is one of the dis
tinct achievements of the press. It is
now we'll known that Syrup of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, ap-
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and eff
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but also
wholly free from any unpleasant after
effects. It is frequently referred to as
the remedy of the healthy, because it is
used by people who enjoy good health
and who live we'll and feel we'll and are
well informed on all subjects generally,
including laxatives. In order to get it's
beneficial effects, it is necessary to get
the genuine Syrup of Figs, which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.
