CALVES o MARKET.
A Proatable Industry In Localities
Where There IL small Demana
for MIX or Cream.

It is not Improbable work to raise
calves for market in localities where
milk and cream are not easily sold at
remunerative prices, and if one goes
in for this object he can with a little
study find considerable to increase his
income. OF course in dairying dis
tricts where there is a good market
for butter and milk this work might
not prove very profitable, but there
+ many formers so situated that it
is impossible to make much from the
milk and cream. There is very little
expense in feeding the young calves
If kept only until they are seven to
ten months old and then sold. Some
times we have found a good calf that
was worth more to us to keep for
breeding purposes than for selling to
the butcher, and we have thus added
materially to our stock. The average
calf, however raised, should bring
from $40 to S35 each when eight or
nine months old. When the calf is
born, instead of taking it from the
mother it is allowed to run with her
until ready for the butcher. Very
often a likely calf in this way al be
sold to purchasers on the lookout for
fine cattle, and they will bring far
more than if sold to the butcher. Fer
instance, last year we sold one such
animal to a n~eighbor for $40. The
calf was from a good grade Of Short
horn, and it had all the indications
of developing into a good breeding an
imal. 1t was ten months of age and
was we'll worth the money it fetched.
In raising these calves there is lit
tie or no expense or outlay, and the
gain in the few months they are kept
represents nearly all profit. There
will be considerable milk and cream
obtained from the cows even when
She calves are running with them, and
n might easily sell enough dairy
products to pay for the feed of the
mothers if there was any nearby
market. Those living in good dairy
districts might not find this a profit
able way of handling their herd, but
it goes to show that one need not
be entirely discouraged if the price
of dairy products is way down. Last
year we had ten calves which we
raised until they were from eight to
ten months old, and we sold the lot
for various prices. The total received
was $26O.55, which on the whole we
considered paid us pretty well. In ad-
dition to this we sold about $50 worth
Of cream and milk and butter and
kept a large family supplied with all
that was needed of these products,
Another year we shall repeat this op-
Grafton if we cannot get decent prices
for the dairy products, which up in
this country is not an easy NATTER

KEEPING MILK 0 R
The Only Way to DO 1t Ia to Remove
the Fluid from the Stable as
Quickly as Possible.

We have no conception as to how
long a time it will require for science
and experiment to destroy the foolish
belief that warm milk will not absorb
odOrs. 1t is to be regretted, however,
that such an opinion exists, for it is
the cause of the contamination of large
quantities of milk. As the result of
some experiments, conducted by the
writer, it was demonstrated that warm
milk was even more susceptible to the
absorption of odors than cold milk
was. The samples of warm milk that
were used were more fully charged
with the odor of manure than the sam
pies of cold milk were, and all the sam
pies were exposed under precisely the
same conditions In other experiments,
conducted at one of experiment
stations, it was observed that fresh
COW urine tainted the warm milk much
more quickly, and to a higher degree,
than it did milk that was in a cold
condition.
It would appear that enough has
been done on this line to put dairy
men on their guard and to convince
all that instead of warm milk throwing
off odors, it absorbs them. At all events,
we have the right to expect that the
dairymfan will endeavor to avoid dan
ger, and remove the milk from the
stable at once. It is not much trouble
to do this; and it should not be forgot
ten that even in the very c~leanest
stables there are odors that will not
help the flavor of milk. It is absolutely
impossible to keep a stable clean
enough to prevent some OdOrs, and
that would be true If the milking were
done in the parlor, for the COW herself
IS the source Of odor, o or less dis
tinct, and is liable at any time to Gre
ate very destructive odOrs. Keep on
the safe side, and remove the milk

A FEW DAIRY POINTERS.

Use great care in turning to pasture.
Give a good feeding of hay in the morn
ing and do not leave them out all
day.
Do not leave the herd out in the
showers. The rains are cold in June
even, and loss will result if careless in
this respect.
Take the world over, there are more
good cows and sensible men than there
are poor cows and fools. The trouble
is to get the wise men rand good cows
together. When we do this fewer men
will be complaining that "dairyin' don't
pay"
Sour milk may not be relished quite

It is generally estimated that q
quart Of milk weighs two pounds. But
this is only approximate. Getting
down to a scientific basis we find that
It Is safe TO figure a quart at 2.15
pounds. One ~EO-called authority re-
duces il to a finer basis than this, and
figures a cubic foot of milk at 64H
pounds. A cubic foot viii make 7.495
gallons, and, taking this as a basis,
we have the weight of one gallon as
1924, and carrying out the division
we have the weight of a quart, 2.156
pounds. But milk rich in cream
would weigh less than milk contain

after milking and not before. The
controversy owe the feeding Of tur-
nips has silnmered down to this. In
the past many men have refused to
feed turnips, asserting that it gave
the milk a turnip taste. It has finally
come to be recognized that the flavor
gets into it through the air that is
in the stable at milking time, or, at
least, if the flavor does go through the
cow, it is eliminated before the next
milking time comes around, provided
the feeding is done after and not be-
