How to Raise a Good Calf.

The cali should be well bred to start
with, for this is one secret in the bust
ness. For the first four weeks the treat
ment Of all calves should be the same;
after that time different method OF
feeding should be followed, depending
upon whether the calf is heifer to be
raised for future milch COW, or steer
to be got on the beef market with the
largest degree Of profit to the owner.
For the first four weeks the calf should
be treated as follows: IL should be ale
lowed to suck the dam three or four
times SO as to empty the udder and clean
it OF the accumulated milk. IL should
then be removed from its dam and given
dry clean place in the barn and taught
to drink, giving it ration OF one quart
OF milk fresh FROM the COW three times a
day, increasing to four or live quarts =
day depending on the size OF the calf
Feed this new ration for two weeks,
then taper off on to skim milk during
the next ten days, the skim milk either
separator milk warm from the COW, or
else milk sweet and carefully warmed up
to the temperature Of new milk. Rein
force this skim uilk ration with cup
Of flax seed jelly, made by scalding fax
seed, for each feed. The calf will now
begin to eat grain and mixture Of corn
and oats should be furnished it TO eat
from as it will. AS the calf grows
stronger the milk ration may be in
creased. At month old take the corn
away from the heifer calf intended for q
COW and the fax seed from her milk ra
ton and give her what clover hay and
oats she will eat with her skim milk IA
ton. This treatment win make her grow
but not get fat. For the steer calf in
tended for beef. give him all the corn he
will eat and keep up his flax seed ration
He should never be allowed to get hun
cry, and il thus fed, will at the enc
|. OF Ave months go on to grass and
. corn ration and be made to weigh l,OO'
lbs by the time he is IA months old an1
be worth not less than $50. The heifel
, calf should be kept growing and thrift!
but never fat.

OF all agricultural products, wheat has
responded most slowly to the general
advance in prices which has been such
a conspicuous feature Of the past year.
Wheat should bring dollar bushel to
