Too many make q mistake in not
raising calves until of an age to sell
for veal 1t is a question with me
whether it does not pay better to keep
calves until near Christmas and then
sell, says New York correspondent of
Farm and Home. One thing Isl sure.
Let farmer once work up an honest
trade for such meat, and, like genuine
fresh eggs or gilt edged butter, he could
Pct on stiff price and still find a ready
market.
Most farmers in this section kill their
calves when day or two old and sell
the hides for GO cents or 81, 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
er? Soon one will have an animal on
hand with a 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.
My father always fed little sulphur
about once a week, and never remem-
Der his losing a calf with the disease
called blackleg. A little salt in the
feed once in awhile is also food for
them. We turn them out into a dry,
well fenced piece of meadow as soon
as the weather is warm enough and
provide good shelter from the sun
and storm. Unless there can be run
ming water in their quarters it is kept
in trough for them and removed ev-
cry day. They are well fed, and it is
surprising how soon they attain mar
ketable size.

This question of how to use bones is
asked very often. Rural New Yorker
answers: You cannot make fine bone
meal on the farm without a steamer
and powerful grinder. You can soften
the bones by packing them in layers
with wood ashes. Put an eight inch
layer of broken bones at the bottom of
box or barrel. Then put layer of
unleached wood ashes then more
bones, and so on to the top. Keep the
whole mass well wetted with liquid
manure or urine. In 90 days the bones
will be quite soft and can be smashed
with maui or heavy shovel This will
not equal the fine ground bone which
the manufacturers sell, but is about the
best you can do on the farm.

How to Remove u Tight Ring.

To remove Il tight ring take Il needle,
fat in the eye, and thread it with
strong but not too coarse thread. Then
very carefully pass TIE head of the
needle under the ring in the direction
of the wrist. BY soaping the needle
beforehand you facilitate matters.
Having done this, you pull down a few
inches of the thread and withdraw the
empty needle. Then wrap the long end
of the thread round the finger toward
the nail and take the short end and
unwind it. The thread, pressing
against the ring. gradually works it off,
no matter how tight it may be.

MUTTON VERSUS PORK.

There is no better meat food for man
than good mutton. If America would
substitute mutton for the pork which is
eaten by its people, the doctors would
half starve, men would quit pounding
their wives, bottle babies would be un-
known, the divorce courts would go
out of business. the term of life would
be increased. and much of the cussed-
ness of the country be prevented. to
say nothing of trichina and all that.
Still, we never expect to see the day
when the delicious odor of roast pork
and apple sass. boiled ham and fried
sausage will not be enough to over
come any and all arguments why peo-
pie should eat mutton rather than
pork.

about a week or ten days before the
