angles, drawing it down tight. Then
pass the other short end around the
other long rod, as at b. Next bend all
the ends into shape, making good posi-
tive hooks on all the ends so that the
calf cannot drag them past the wire.
Cut two sticks seven inches long, 1x1%

bore two holes five inches apart.
Clamp these sticks onto the rods be-
low the neck with two 2K-inch bolts.

spoonfuls of white sugar added per
quart of liquid. A small portion of
this is rubbed into a paste, which is
then placed in strong bottles and al

during which the bottles should be
repeatedly shaken, a beverage of
great value in cases of digestive dis
turbance, as we'll as of excellent pal

YOUNG DAIRY MOTHERS.


The practice on the Brown Bessie

calf at about two years Of age, says
H. c. Taylor, in Rural New Yorker. II
the heifer is we'll grown and indicates
early maturity, . month, or even two
months. earlier would do no harm. A
Jersey or Guernsey comes to maturity
earlier than the beef breeds do, and
should bs bred nearly year younger.
Il u certainly much better for the
dairy breed heifer to begin her lie
work - soon as the age Of two years.
II she II we'll grown as she should be
st two years. she is all right to begin
business. If allowed to 60 another

diverted toward the production Of

Wash the Cows in Summer.

Cows should sometimes be washed,
even in the summer time. The hair
protected skin of the cow is a good
lodging place for fungoid germs and
ferments of all kinds. The cows
wade through stagnant water filed
with countless myriads of bacteria,
or stand in deep mud equally pol.
luted. They return to the stable or
milking yards and the bacteria re.
main on them and fall in invisible
showers into the milk as it is drawn.
Then we hear about ropy milk, or
milk having rank flavor. 1t could
have been prevented had care been
exercised in cleaning the COWS. When
cows give evidence of having been in
such places they should be thorough
" wsshed.-Farmers' Review.
