best possible condition for the calf,
and by observing the points men
toned in this bulletin, and as prac-
ticed by the most successful dairy-
men, little trouble will be had in
raising as, good calves as are raised
in any way. The majority of those
producing cream or butter for sale
insist on some means of raising the
calf satisfactorily, and the hand sep

Musty Fodder Kills Calves.

A dispatch comes from Creston,
Ia, that Hazard Dunn, living short
ways west Of there, has recently lost
10 head of yearling calves from too
much feeding on dry and musty fod-
der:EAll the calves but one shat were
taken sick died and reports come
from other parts of that country
that there have been many more cat
tie dying there from the same
cause. The wet weather has been
such that much of the fodder this
season is unfit for feeding except in
small quantities, and then the closest
watch must. be kept on the title

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Keep the heifer calves Of the good
mixers.
Big pedigree often goes with small
performance. ~s:.!.-.*-r !,
The activity of milk secretion de-
ponds largely upon the Figor of blood
circulation.
Don't breed your cows downward,
especially if you intend to raise your
own 5heifers.
After being oiled separators should
be filed with water to see that every
thing is in order.
Damp floors should be avoided in
the dairy, as dampness always tends
to the development and increase of
organic germs. ,aIt iia 81 F.,
One advantage with the. separator
is that all animal matter, dirt and
Impurities are removed from the milk
and $will be found sticking to the
outer wall of the bowl.
The "world-record'' cows are use
full sign boards on the dairy high

the possibilities and the. probabilities
lie, and they give the average dairy

The Chances Are
Still Very Good.

Engineer G.. II. Matthes chief of
the government surveying party was
asked this week what in his opinion
are our chances of getting the high
line ditch from the government. He
said: ''They are still good. The
government may not start on the work
at once. but that should not lead the
people to believe that they do not in
tend to do it at all. My report has
not been sent in yet. Before the Off
cials see that of course nothing will
be decided. l shall recommend the
building of dam below Westwater.
In letter which L received from Mr..
Newell last week. he said that he was
very glad that l had found better
site for dam than the first one on
which we staIt ted to work surveying.
This shows that he is much inter-
ested in the scheme. The government
as a rule does not like to build irri-
CATION works that require machinery.
The reason for this is that the cost
and trouble of maintenance is always
considerable when there is machinery.
The Westwater scheme would require
machinery which fact will not operate
in it's favor although it may not nee.
essarily condemn it entirely
