confined in stalls with a chain tie
fastened to an iron rod on side Of
managers. They were turned in the
yard to water at nine o'clock in the
morning and remained in yard until
noon, except in very stormy weather.
Water was supplied in trough in the
yard. Preliminary to feeding test,
steers ran in small field and were fed
on corn fodder from the shock. They
were put in stalls few weeks before
the feeding began, to accustom them
to their quarters and to being handled.
1t is surprising how soon wild steers
will learn to keep quiet, and go into
their places in the stalls, when han
died quietly and persistently. AS
stated in other experiments with range
steers, there is no difficulty in stall
feeding such cattle, on account OF
their never having been handled. 1t
requires a little tact and much pa
thence; but these qualities must be
prominent in any successful feeder of
live stock.
The following conclusions are
drawn:
/. On the whole the feeding was
profitable in all the steers showing
a net average for Sc days feeding of
$15.13 per head.
2. The barley shorts and the barley
chopped wheat combinations consti-
tutes an excellent grain ration for
steers.
3. The chopped rye was not espe-
cially well relished by the steers.
4. Chopped wheat alone is good
grain ration when combined with corn
silage and hay.
5. That the conditions in this local
ity, so far as affected by climate and
food supply, are favorable for stall
feeding cattle.

feed a pint at time, morning, noon,
agrees, feed flax seed, tea with raw
egg in each feed. | once kept heifer
calf on oil tea and eggs for three
weeks and afterwards sold her for
$500.
Q.-Do you let calves run on pas
ture?
Al let them out in the yard often
for a run, and the larger ones on the
grass for a part of the day until they
get used to it. They are always
housed at night
Q.-Do you give your calves water
to drink?
A.Always. All they want OF it.
Q-How long do you leave the calf
with the mother after birth?
A-Only till the dam has licked it
off dry. If COW is excited we fence
off a corner of the stall in which she
calved and put the calf in there for
while This will quiet her.
Q.-How do you get your calves to
drink the first time?
A.-Use a tin wash basin, as pail
is too deep, the edge gets against
the calfs throat. Back the calf into
a corner, stand astride it, hold the
basin in one hand, wet the fingers Of
the other hand in milk and place
them into the calf's mouth. The great
thing is not to let the Calls nostrils
get below the surface of the milk so
it is closed and frightened. The calf
will drink better if the basin is held
we'll up, as it is natural for it to drink
with it's head raised, till it learns to
stoop. If the calf will not drink. LEI
it miss meal or two, but never, new
er leave milk before it to get colo
and sour By following this plan we
have no trOuble.-Tribune.

The Calf.

At a farmers institute, which the
writer attended last winter the sub
ject OF calves was being discussed,
and one of the most successful cali
raisers in the state was asked few
questions how he raised calves and
his answer will throw much light on
calf raising.
Q.-HoW many times day do you
feed your calves?
A.-Three times.
Q.-At what age do you commence
feeding your calves grain?
AIT two months old | feed lit
tie porridge made of oat meal to one
bowl of oil meal and little
salt to season. This is well boiled
and made fresh every day. Give very
little to begin with in each feed and
increase as needed to one-half pint at
each feed. The quantity of porridge
made should always be governed by
the number of calves to be fed. The
cold porridge is put into the warm
milk and squeezed through it.
O.-What is the chief cause OF
scOurs in your calves?
A.-(D Dirty pals; CD too cold or
too hot feed; CD too much at feed;
(4) irregular feeding, but the chief
cause is dirty pals.
Q.-Do you use wooden pals for
feeding calves?
A.-Never.
kQQnlnQ
calves separated?
A.-Always.
Q.-How do you treat scours?
A.-Stop feed for day and give
a little castor oil and laudanum.
Keep them warm and dry and clean
with plent of bedding and OUT OF
draughts. Then feed only pint Oh
milk at time, just drawn from the
cow, and add some lime water, only

A correspondent asks how to make
a good cement floor for stables, live
stock pens, etc. In making such a
floor dig away the earth five inches
in depth and fill in about inches
of this with broken stone, as in pre-
pairing for matchmaking a road. Mix
the cement with sand and water, so
that it will be quite thin and will
run easily. Let it fill all the openings
and cover all the stones. Allow this
to set. Then give the whole coating
with a troWel the same as in cement
ing cistern, using one part of cement
to three parts of good sand. A floor
built in this manner will last indefi-
nitely if the cement used is first class.
