CALVES WITHOUT MILK.
Those Raised In This Manner Rarely
Develop Into Good and Profit
able Dairy Cows.

I do not believe that a good calf
can be raised without milk, says q
correspondent of the Rural New York
err, and in-these days, when good cows
are so highly valued, it seems piece
of the worst kind of shortsightedness
and mismanagement to try to pro-
duce a frst-class COW from a calf
stunted in the beginning of it's life.
1t may appear like economy to take
milk from the calf and sell it to the
creamery, cheese factory or milk sta
ton, but it is a poor economy. The
COWS of the future demand that the
calves of to-day be well nourished.
Ten or twelve pounds of new milk
daily will carry calf nicely until it
is ten days or two weeks old. Then.
if the milk is made into butter, there
is skim milk to feed. Change from
whole to skim milk gradually and at
the same time supply the fat by
feeding corn meal. making the calf
eat it dry. Later add some oats,
ground preferred, but whole if ground
ones are not obtainable, and bran or
middlings. If the milk of the dairy
goes to cheese factory, feed whole
milk until the calf is at least month
old. Then feed sweet whey, not the
sour stuffwhich is bailed out at 90 per
cent. of the cheese factories. Feed in
small quantities at first and increase
gradually while the milk is decreased.
At the same time feed some grain,
composed of linseed meal, bran, mid
dfngs or oats and little corn meal.
If the milk is sold outright from the
farm and nothing brought back, then
keep the calf on whole milk until
it is old enough to thrive on hay,
grain and water, and see what fine
calf it is! 1t is a good practice in or
binary dairies. where the milk supply
is short. to raise only enough calves
to keep the herd up, and those only
from the best cows. and give them
extra care

vo1-au-vent Of Cherries.

Cut out of sheet of fourfold puff
paste one inch thick an oval piece six
inches by four inches, egg the top and
with smaller sized cutter stamp a
mark quarter of an inch deep. Bake
in a hot oven about half an hour, or
longer if required. When baked take
the soft paste from the center and
place the pastry back in the oven to
dry few minutes. Wash and drain
two pounds of fine ripe cherries. Make
strip with one pound loaf sugar and
half a pint of water, let it boil five min
utes, skim, add few drops of cochineal
to make the strip light red, then put
in the cherries, let come to boil and
remove from the fire Immediately.
Stand the stewpan in pan of cold
water to cool the cherries quickly,
thereby saving their color. When re-
quired fill the pastry case with the
.herries and garnish the sides with a
few fern leaves.-Home Magazine.

CONSTRUCTING A SILo.
CONFEDERATION by Those About
to Build One.

Let 1t be air-tight. Your wife would
hardly expect fine favored fruit for
her table had not the glass jar been
Theoretically sealed.
The slaves forming the silo must be
beveled, tongued and grooved. Any
height desired can be reached II the
ends of the slaves are properly joined
together, the best known plan for do
ing this being to use metal spline,
which when finished is wholly con-
cealed and makes the stave from bot
tom to top as good as If of one solid
piece.
Use round iron for hoops, extra
heavy size at the base, medium in mid
die of silo, and little lighter at the
top. Locate hoops some nearer to-
gether for large silos than for small
ones, the average distance apart be-
ing about two feet.
On 16-foot diameter silo each hoop

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

In feeding the calves there should be
no guess work about the quantity or
the temperature of the milk.
It costs about as much to keep a COW
that makes five pounds of butter week
as it does one that makes ten.
The average price of butter the past
year was two and half cents pound
higher than the year preceding.
The attendance on dairy schools is
increasing, and the capacity of all OF
them will have to be enlarged before
many years.
The well-treated cow evinces dispo-
sition to put her owner and her calf on
the same footing. That is the best she
can do by her owner.-Rural World.
