Too many make a mistake In not
raising calves until of an age to sell
for veal. 1t is question with me
whether 1t does not pay better to keep
calves until near Christmas and then
sell, says New York correspondent Of
Farm and Home. One thing is sure.
Let a farmer once work up an honest
trade for such meat. and, like genuine
fresh eggs or gilt edged butter, he could
put on stiff price and still find ready
market. a.
Most farmers in this section kill their
calves when day or two old and sell
the hides for 60 cents or ST., according
to size and weight, while the mothers
milk must go to the pigs for some time,
as it is not fit for butter or cheese. Now
why not adopt the practice that is be-
ginning to come in vogue here Of feed
ing this milk to calves until fit for use
anywhere, then giving warm, sweet
skimmilk, with little finely ground
grain mixed in as the calf grows old
err? Soon one will have an animal on
hand with decided market value.
Calves must be kept dry If they are
to thrive, and a run on the ground in
the open air is as good for them as an
occasional TONIC is for their owners

Improving Poor Fields.

Every season attempts should be
made to improve some portions of the
farm SO that the soil will show the
highest standard of productivity.
There are crops which must be raised
on every farm which leave the soil
much poorer in fertility when they are
harvested. Systems of rotation may
tend to counteract this evil and keep
the general average of the fertility
good, but in spite of this there will be
gradual decline unless special efforts
are directed toward the Improvement
of the soil. This can best be done by
selecting certain fields or field each
year and making a point to raise the
standard Of fertility Of that section.
BY thus changing off one goes over the
whole farm in the course of a few
years and makes the soil all Of a high
standard.

Cornstalks should be cut into about,
inch lengths. The finer the cut the
more compact the silage, says Breed
er's Gazette. AS the silo fills with the
fresh cut corn, ears and all, the mate
rial should be spread evenly and care
fully tramped next the walls. One may
fill the silo in three or four days or
be two or three weeks conducting
the operation. The slower it is filed
the more material can be got into, it.
4 practical silo should not be less than
Is feet in diameter and should be from
"a to 80 feet deep. AS silo filling nears
completion let the material settle and
add more SO as to have it well filled.
The covering may consist of the cut
corn forage material itself, or of nu-
merous other. substances about the
waste green material can be run
through the feed cutter and placed one
OR two feet deep on top of the silage
mass. Chaffed straw or oat chaff is
also excellent These materials should
be thoroughly wet so as to render
them heavy and cause them to pack
we'll.
SiIe and Ensilage. - =
People are fast learning that egood
ensilage can only be secured in a first
class silo and that a silo made of poor
material or from lumber that warps or
twists will always prove disappointing
to its owner, says a writer in National
Stockman. This is illustrated by the
method of canning fruit. If the can is
sealed alright, the fruit can be pre-
served all through the winter. But if
the rubber packing is poor or the top
is not screwed ion tight, admitting the
air, the contents work" and are spoil
ed. The same thing holds true with
silo. Unless the walls are impervfous
to both air and moisture one must not
expect to keep his ensilage sweet. The
cheap structures made Of old fence
boards should not be called silos. Yes
sells of this kind have also led many
men to reject silage and probably &C
counts for the unjust and sweeping
condemnation Of it by milk condensa-
ries. There has never been food upon
which all kinds of stock thrive SO well
and which gives such large returns as
, Indian corn, cut and preserved In a
silo in the form of ensilage. AS Pro
fessor Henry says, "Cheap silos are
delusion and snare, while good ones
enable Indian corn to yield it's greatest
benefactions to man."
Feeding Ensi1age.
One can begin to feed silage from the
top of the silo as soon as cutting
ceases, or the material may be left I'M
til needed in winter time. says Breed
er's Gazette. The silo should be ar
ranged to have such diameter that
from an inch and a half to two inches
OF silage will be fed of the top each
day. II less than this amount Is fed
OF, trouble may arise from the ex-
posed silage starting to heat and mold.
II, SO much as an inch and half or
two inches Is fed OF daily, then the
silage material at the surface Is always
fresh and In good condition.

Glover Bloat.

Glover bloat can always be prevented
by keeping the cattle off the clover
while it is wet with rain or dew, says
Prairie Farmer. The usual cause of
death when an animal is bloated is
congestion of the lungs from pressure
Of the stomach against them. The flesh
Of such animal should be darker in
color from the stoppage of blood in the
small vessels than the flesh of an ami
NAL butchered, but do not believe it
would poison any one to eat the flesh
Of such animals. The best remedy for
clover bloat is to make an opening in
the upper part of the left flank with a
pocketknife and thrust the fingers into
the opening. Then the gas will escape
at the sides of the finger. Or use some
hollow tube to put into the opening.
