In proportion to capital invested it
is claimed that there is more profit
to be derived from poultry than from
any other live stock on farms, and
the exceedingly high prices for eggs
this winter should encourage farmers
to make poultry specially. At pres
cnt on the majority of farms the
fowls are given over to some member
of the family to look after, and in
many cases the hens are expected to
pick up enough for their support. The
poultry on farms will pay farmers
well IL they will consider the fowls as
so much live stock demanding special
care. There should be a separate
place for the fowls, with comfortable
quarters. regular feeding being prac-
ticed, instead of giving them the free.

The Young Calf.

My practice Is to let the calf remain
with the mother day or two accord
ing to the strength OF the calf and the
state of the cows udder. In inflamed,
the sucking of the calf is the best
remedy. When the calf is taken away,
it is put in warm, dry place, and
fed three times day with warm new
and night, but giving only two quarts
OF the morning milk being set aside
the cream stirred in, and warmed at
noon. When the calf is two or three
weeks old begin to feed warm, sweet,
skim milk, never allowing 1t TO scald,
and increasing the allowance, morning
and night, but giving only two quarts
at noon. By that | mean increasing
gradually. When 1t is a month old I
give 1t little bright clover hay, graz
ually increasing 1t. Then when II eats
hay well, feed milk only morning and
night, giving a little water with the
chill off at noon lido not forget this)
If you do not have clover hay. feed
timothy, but never cornstalks or straw,
or any grain. Give the grain to the
mother. Do not give the calf farrow
cows milk.
1t pays to take pains with the young
animal; then in few months you will
have a strong. hearty calf, which will
never cause you any anxiety.
