Feeding Dairy Calves.

Feeding Dairy Calves.
There is a discussion going on in
some Of our esteemed contemporaries
regarding the feeding of young dairy
calves. and 1t is rather amusing to note
some Of the extravagant statements
made by those who argue that . calf
can be more successfully raised with
out milk than it can on the good old
plan provided by the Creator. If, for
instance. we are to believe these en-
thusiasts, the feeding of milk is liable
to teach the calf the bad habit Of lay
Ing on fat instead of flesh and muscle,
and the growing Of bone. Milk, then,
we must conclude, is a fat-producing
food not fit for young growing calves.
fallacy that requires no refuting
argument.
They proceed to prescribe a manner
OF feeding which, according to these
savants who can improve upon ma
lures methods, is better than milk for
the calf, in that 1t does not produce fat,
causes "pot-bellies," which say they
are great desideratum for modern
dairy calves, and tends to the growth
'of great coats Of hair in winter to take
the place Of fat which they so much
FEAR Having thus provided what they
consider a perfect ration, and it con-
sists of flour. flax-seed jelly, hay tea.
etc., they do not tell us what is the OBJ
lection to sweet skim milk, nor figure
the cost Of their ration to show wherein
1t is more economical than a ration Of
dry corn meal and skim milk, which
has been found perfectly satisfactory
ration and cheaper than one contain
ing oil meal in any form, and it should
be remembered that of all its forms
"jelly" is the most troublesome to pre-
pare.
The fact Of the matter is that in the
West at least the proposed ration
would cost about as much as milk at
the prices it has been bringing when
shipped to the factory or made into
butter or cheese. In the East, where
the price Of milk is higher than in the
West, there may be reason for depriv-
ing the young calves of 1t even during
the first few days Of their lives. We
would prefer. however, to feed the calf
sweet milk for ten days or so and then
utilize the sweet skim milk that can SO
easily and cheaply build up, by the
addition Of corn meal fed dry, to per-
factly take the place Of the whole milk
which can be more protitably sold.
The Farmers Review is heartily in
favor Of feeding growing dairy calves
upon highly nitrogenous ration, but
1t does not believe that milk is apt to
spoil heifer as prospective milker,
for mothers milk is the best-balanced
ration that can possibly be formed for
growing young animals, and 1t is alb
solute bosh to say that it lessons the
chances of dairy-bred heifer becom-
ing a profitable milking COW. Keep
the calf growing naturally and it will
not be stunted by the laying on OF fat,
nor is it necessary to produce "pot-
belly" which merely indicates an un-
healthy state Of the digestive apparatus
and is far more likely to stunt and in
jure the calf than ration containing a
certain proportion of fat, without
which no ration for any known pur-
pose would be complete.

$50, 600, 900 of our money yearly in oil
alone. Then he has other interests in
the nat ure of gigantic trusts, which
yield him many o millions. He
owns some property in a New York
village and the assessor put his taxes
higher than MI. Rockefeller thought
they should be, so he, went into the
fight and beat this assessor and elected
his own man. In Cleveland a few
days ago a preacher in charge of the

A MUCH NEEDED LAW.

The killing of two men by Walter
Cotton, a desperate negro and escaped
murderer from the Portsmouth jail
at Emporia, Va, last week, would
have been averted if our Legislature
had passed two years ago, when the
effort was made, a law requiring all
persons condemned to be hung to be
at once transported to the lenitentia-
ry of the State and there in due order
executed. This negro has been terro-
rizing Greensville county for a month
or more past. 1T is certain that only
a few daysago he killed a nan named
Blick at Emporia. He has also COM
mitted a number of daring robberies
In that quarter. On the day before
his arrest and lynching, he killed a
justice of the peace and a constable.
He has cost the State a large amount
of money, beside the death of at least
four of her citizens. When the pres
emit Legislature met we again insisted
VII PHooiAS law Iuk 6uCu
felons to be sent at once to the peni-
Tertiary for execution. We had urged
this cause two years ago and we urged
it again when our last Legislature
met. We cited the danger of escapes
from our poorly constructed jails, the
cost of additional guards, the proven
ton of lynchings, and a number of
other good reasons why such should be
the law. But we could not even SO
much as get one of III legislators to
touch it this year, though all effort
was made to pass it at the previous
session. They were too busy passing
other laws not needed, or attempting
to defeat those needed, and none of
them would look at this needed law
for a minute. Ii, however, it had been
a bill to increase a salary, Or defeat a
railroad charter, or pass a tax law, we
would doubtless have had able assis-
lance. 1t is to be hoped this bill will
some day become a law and save inno-
cent peoples homes from robbery and
themselves from the hands of a MUIR
derer. If this occurrence does not
show necessity for the law, none can.

THE GOLD STANDARD.

We are now said to be, that is the
country is said to be, on a gold basis,
thanks to the, Republican party, which
ofcourse, as the English say when they
defeat the Beers, has been greatly
aided by Providence. After one hun
dred and twenty-eight years of baleful
financial legislation. sprinkled with
Democracy and silver, we now stand
upon foundations of solid gold. There
is no other country where this beatiic
state is so enjoyed as here, because no
other country is blessed with a great
Republican party. AS in the celestial
city, we will soon no doubt find our
selves walking over streets OF gold, or
like the halls of Montezuma our palaces
will be draped with this precious
metal, or as Croesus or the Queen Of
Sheba, we will revel in the wealth of
fable. It may not be a settled fact
that by this master stroke of legisla-
tion we are to be lifted from earth to
heaven, but we are surely nearing the
millennium stage of earthly existence.
We will live in bliss, perfect bliss
hereafter. There will be no sor-
row nor pining, no more hunger nor
want, the poor can unmolested revel
in their poverty, and the rich can call
in additional help to count their i'll
gotten gains. Lazarus can beg the
crumbs from Dives table as of old and
Dives can fare sumptuously every day,
the dog can return to his vOmit, and
the SOW to her wallowing in the mire.
Nature provided these tastes. the Re-
publican party has rendered their en-
joyment complete. There g be no
financial calamities now. God under
lies every transaction; there can BIO no
scarcity of money, for under present
circumstances all money will be either
In the Treasury Of the United States
or in the National Banks. When short
in one the other will make up the
shortage. All that was ever necessary
to avoid a panic We're Confidence and
Gold. Now we have both. Our con-
fdence is like ribs of steel. it girdeth
our loins about, it enableth us to re-
move mountains, to heal the sick and
raise the dead. Since we have gained
this confidence we realize the truth of
the financial expression, so often told
US by our banker: Money is plenti-
full. it is confidence you lack" How
wary a thing is confidence, how thides
away when we want it most. How
slow one is to draw bis check on a
bank unless he is confident he has
funds to meet it. Confidence is a great
and glorious thing. gold is its boon
companion. We rejoice with the coun-
try in the millennium, the gold mil
lennium, it is here, we know it is here.
We have seen Gold clad in. his -armor
sword in hand staying the dragon Sill
yer, and freeing the nation from her
shackels when she would have been
destroyed by the beast. 1t is a full
fllment of the prophecy ''let the peo-
pie be damned" Was ever such beat
itude on earth, did ever a people have
such reason to rise up and cali their
leaders blessed? Yes we think they
have, and it is we'll nigh time they
were rising once more lest they awak-
en- to find themselves slaves.
