RAISING GOOD CALVES.
In NO Other Way Can the Average
Farmer Obtain a Profitable
Herd of Dairy Cows.

l like to fuss with calves. I like
the calves because 1 like good COWS
and realize the fact that the founda-
ton of a good cow is a good calf.
Sometimes l come across a good COW
that can be bought at a reasonable
price, but the surest way to get a
good COW is to raise her from a calf
of known good parentage. There are
people who yet believe they can feed
butter-fat into milk. My experience,
however, is that when you have a cow
that gives blue milk, blue milk she
will make, even on the richest kind
OF food, and when it is given to her
In fullest supply. And when you
have a COW that gives rich, creamy
milk that bufter-makers and milk
consumers lie, rich milk she will
give even if she has nothing but
corn-stalks or poor hay to eat. Feed
determines the quantity of milk,
while the blood of the animal de-
termines the milk's richness. For
that reason it does not pay to bother
with calves of blue-milk stock (un-
less for selling milk, and hardly
them. Nor does it pay to fuss with
a calf that for any reason is lack
ing in individual vigor. But any Wig
orous heifer calf of good stock is too
good for the butcher when it is so
easy to make a good COW of it in
not more than two years time. The
Guernseys and Jerseys have the rep
utation of giving the richest milk.
But there is yet great difference in
this respect in individual COWS, or
perhaps rather in cow families. Just
at present I am raising a calf from
a Jersey dam, whose milk contains
more butter-fat than l have ever seen
in milk before. Not having much
milk on which to bring this calf up,
I have tried milk substitutes, espe-
cially clear faxseed-meal and a calf
meal. l began giving f1axseed-meal
on the third day by the teaspoonful,
gradually increasing to tive hand
fuls at feed in the fifth or sixth
pail, and boiling water put on it,
making thin soup, which was mixed
with what skim-milk I could spare
for the purpose, and fed bloodwarm.
At six weeks of age the calf meal
which seems to consist mostly of
faxseed-meal or oil meal-was SUBJ
stituted for the fiaxseed-mea' two
good handfuls at a feed. This calf
also receives dry bran and other
ground grains, and eats several hand
fuls out of its pail, some cut clover
hay, ETC., and has done so well that
I believe it possible to bring up good
calves practically without milk, ex-

have always considered that reports of this
nature were more or less fictitious and got.
ten up for the purpose of creating demand
from the public But the publication in
various papers of the wonderful results OBJ
tanned from using that famous remedy St..
Jacobs Oil, and from the fact that it is a
remedy for outward application only, led
US to make trials of it in our own family.
One, case of lumbago of long standing
which had previously resisted every form
few applications of the Oil. Another was a
sprained ankle, with severe pain. Thi,
was instantly relieved and permanently
cured in few days by the use of St. Jacobs
Oil, while for severe toothache and neuralgia
1t acted almost like magic, SO quickly did the
pain depart after the Oil was applied. Our
own experience in using the Oil, as above
indicated, was so highly satisfactory that
we determined in the interest of the gen.
eral public to make thorough local inves-
tigation among dealers and others who have
sold and used st. Jacobs Oil. Recognizing
Messrs. Taylor and Co. as head quarters for
all proprietary medicines, we called at their
Brlggate Store, and on making known the
object of our visit to the general Manager,
he stated that their three stores in Leeds
were selling more than a thousand bottles
of st. Jacobs Oil every week, and the trade
was constantly increasing-that it was the
most popular remedy sold and was highly
spoken OF by everyone who used it. The
Manager said he had heard hundreds ot
people say they had been permanently cured
OF rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, and sim.
liar complaints by the use of this famous Oil.

To prevent mold it is better not to
steam the tubs at all, but soak them in
weak brine solution for at least IL
hours before using, says Creamery
Journal. Parchment paper should also
be soaked at least 10 hours in a strong
brine before using. The steaming, as
usually done in many creameries, is not
sufficient to destroy the mold-produc-
ing bacteria. It merely hastens their
growth.
