CORN Fer
After Fifteen Years Of Experience
Writer Declares 1t to Be h
Very Rest Food.

My. experience in raising calves ex-
tends over fifteen years. OF course,
everyone knows how to feed calves,
but many do not know just what is
best to feed. Ask me, and / will say
"shelled corn" when do you begin?"
l begin when the calf is three days old.
Feed it just a few kernels at first and
gradually increase to a pint by the time
the calf is six weeks Did. They chew
it all up. I never knew a calf to pass
a whole grain. / never feed a calf
more than two quarts of milk at a
feeding. If l am raising calves for
mixers I do not feed them enough to
make them fat. I have experimental
with all of ground foods, but
none of them equal shelled corn. My
calvesi hair is sleek and glossy; they
are growing rapidly; they run and
frisk about and are always ready to
eat corn. My neighbor, who persists
in feeding his calves all the milk they
can drink, besides a couple of quarts Of
ground feed, has funny looking calves.
They arc little, pot-gutted things; hair
standing on end. They have the scours
nearly all the time; lie around half
asleep. ] wouldn't trade one of mine
for a dozen of his. In short, if O
want good salves feed them corn: if
you want poor, worthless animals. feed
them something else.-I. II. Watt, in

Prof. George lincoln Burr, of Cornell,
who lately toured New England on his BIZ
cycle in order to gather facts about witch
craft, is an authority on the history of SUI
perstition and persecution, and is also an
lndefatigable wheelman. Prof. Burr, with
his bicycle, has penetrated many primitive
and secluded parts of the United States.
From these journeys, says an eastern ex-
change, he returns with little stories that
are now quaint, now strange, now humor-
Gus. A story of the latter sort concerns q
visit to Tennessee.

FALL CARE OF cows.
When Pastures Are Getting Bare II
Pays to Haul a Little Fodder
to the Field.

In the feeding of dairy cows two sea-
sous are recognized by the average
dairyman. These are the winter feed
ing season and the summer season. In
the former case the animals are entire
ly dependent upon what grain and fod-
der are allotted to them, there being no
opportunity for grazing afforded. The
very opposite of this is true during the
summer season, the animals being ex-
pected to hunt their own living. The
transition from one season to another
frequently causes a falling off in the
milk supply. This is particularly true
in the fall when the animals are left to
shift for themselves after the nights be-
come cold. The fact is lost sight OF
that a dairy animal is of rather delicate
constitution, and on this account can
not Withstand the hardships which the
beef animal can bear.
It is an exceedingly good plan to ai-
low cows to have shelter at night after
the first of October. If they are put
in the stable OF in sheds and fed a small
grain ration night and morning, to-
gether with a little fodder, they will lib
orally respond to such treatment at
milking time, and will more than pay
for the food fed in this way, and the la
Dor involved in caring for them. While
the days remain warm they are just
as well out in the pasture, as there is
no food better adapted for milk pro-
duction than good grass. Grass is also
economical, and for this a one,
should endeavor to extend the grazing
season just as long as possible. If pas
lures are getting a little bare, it will
generally pay to haul a little fodder to
the field. This may be c%ornfodder,
sorghum, Kaffir corn, millet OF any
crops of this character. It is never
a good plan to turn COWS onto frosted
grass after having kept them in the
stable during the night, it being much
better to keep them housed until the
grass is approaching dryness.-Midland
Farmer.

An IDEAL Potato Patch.

If the ground is quite level place your
stirring pillow in the center, at one end
of your patch. Back furrow. Harrow it
nicely. In a few days do the same thing
in the same way. Now you have a plot in
good filth and we'll drained, as you have
left it shaped somewhat as the roof Of
a house. Fertilize in the center. Now
you al plant this in drills or in hills,
that is, checks. Harrow often, keep
ing the ground loose and clean, and you
will certainly be rewarded for your la
Dor. Potatoes do not do we'll when not
we'll drained. The shape of the subsoil
will drain it, and good cultivation will
insure a sufficiency of moisture.-Isaac
N. Green, in the Epitomist.

The Art of Calf Feeding.

J. H. Grinsdale, in the farmers Sem
tinel, says that there is an art in calf
feeding. The only diet for the first
three weeks to- be its mothers milk,
and that fed so often that 1t would not
get ravenously hungry al any time.
It should be fed four times a day at
first. The calf to be kept in warm
quarters in the winter and have its
quarters kept clean. Never feed the
calf SO much as to bring on the scours,
as there is nothing more Injurious to
the growth of the calf. but feed all that
1t can digest, and it can be gradually
brought on to 9 diet Of warm separator
milk.

CHEAP PRACTICAL SILO.
mems Association by Edward
Van A~lstyne.

The silo must be practically alright.
It must be strong and durable, and
should be constructed as economically
as possible. 1 believe a good silo is
the round silo, but whether the round
silo is going to give the satisfaction
that some think, l am not SO sure. In
the stave silo the lumber being uneven,
it may be inclined to rot out in some
places, and give more or less trouble.
One thing is certain, if you build 3
round 5iiio, you mist build G coed deal
better one than if you build a square
one.
Fol hoops, five-eighths-inch wire rope
is very satisfactory. 1t can be bought
for the same price as the rods, but the

tensile strength of the five-eighths-inch
rope is very much greater than the ten
sile strength Of the iron rod, and it has
the expansion and contraction of heat
and cold better, and only needs one
buckle or coupling, and it is very much
more Easy to put around. The round
silo is best in one respect, and that is be-
cause it has no corners.
The picture shows a silo that any
body can build, who has the lumber.

have three of this kind, and speak
whereof l know. One has been filled,
this is the thirteenth winter, and an
other one has been filled for nine win
tiers. Anyone can build n of this sort
who can handle a level and saw, or use
a hammer and nails, and a good thing
about them is that they can be set any
where and made to conform to the size
Of the barn, If you want to put them
inside.
The picture shows clearly how the
silo is built. The foundation is below
frost, made Of stones laid in cement
mortar. On this is placed stills of two
by six or two by eight. Matched pine
siding is stood up and braced by two
by eight or two by ten-inch scantling,
placed as shown. The corners are put
in on a bevel to avoid the square cor
ner, and also to allow of braces to
strengthen the silo.
A second thickness of siding should
be put on to break joints. Do not use
paper between the boards, as it will rot
out. have a silo built of single boards
Of six-inch matched pine. The lumber
was as dry as l could get it, and put to-
gether as tight as possible, but l found
after the first year that those boards
would shrink apart a little, and that
many places would get tight
again. That is the danger of the single
board silo, and also the danger of the
poorly constructed round silo.

ltrirpins Fodder Doesn't Paw,

One asks about stripping folded. The
leaves OF corn are more palatabie and
.digestibls than the stalks, but the labor
involved in stripping and bundling
scarcely pays. There Is much nuutri-
ment in the stalk, and it shredded or
cut stock will eat nearly all. We should
prefer cutting and shocking corn while
the plant has some green In it. The
grain will ripen and the whole plant is
thus made available. The chief point
to remember j n harvesting corn is to
cut at the proper stage not too ripe nor
too graen.-RnraI World.

Poor Cream Closed Factory.
Poor cream caused the closing Of a
new creamery in Minnesota recently.
The buildings had been erected and
equipped at considerable expense and
everything was first-class. A large
supply Of cream was received. but the
cream itself was very poor. The
farmers said they had too much work
to do to bring their cream in more
than nee a week, and the consequence
was that the cream received was OF ex-
ceptionally poor quality. The butter
made was Of cours correspondingly
poor and the money received for it was
not sufficient to pay expenses and yield
a profit. Hence the creamery shut
down. 1t vas found to be impossible
to build .upa valuable reputation on
poor butter.-Farmers' Review.
