The Management of Heifers.

No matter how we'll a heifer is
backed up by the milking qualities of
ancestors, much of her success as a
dairy cow depends on getting her
rightly started. Accordingly, though
kept in thrifty condition, she should
not be encouraged to fatten while
growing, lest when growth be attained
all her surplus food goes to MAKE
fat. 1t is advisable to have her freshen
as soon as she is two years old, IL
not a little before, and, generally
speaking, the calf removed the moment
it is born-if possible, so she will not
see it, least of all touch it. Given,
then, two quarts of sweetened and salt
ed oatmeal, or linseed Cruel, including
drinking water with the chill taken
off. she should four hours later be
MIXED and the calf fed.
That the milking may be nothing
new to her, her udder and teats should
have been previously handled, and
even some milk drawn every night
and morning if the udder happens to
be too full for few days before the
calf is dropped. During this critical
period she might be fed moderate
grain ration twice day, composed of
bran and cornmeal, but if so her udder
should be closely watched, to see II
it becomes hard and hot; in that case
it should be bathed in warm water
and rubbed with camphorated prep
aration and the grain ration, of course,
stopped. Assuming, however, that she
freshens in every respect without mis-
hap, in a week or two her food should
be steadily but lightly increased, with
the milking done by the same person
at regular hours. The object should
be to make her maintain a good flow
for a long time or until she calves
again, if possible, and if she seems
capable of enduring this treatment,
she should be literally fed. While the
practice of continuous milking from
year to year is not to be advocated,
since, as a rule, COWS do better work
and produce stronger progeny when
given a chance to build up for month
or six weeks before parturition, 1T is
policy to establish in the heifer, if one
can, the habit of long milking which
will go with her through life.

Broken Bones Bottled.

DR.. Stephen H. Watts, assistant res
ident surgeon at the Johns Hopkins
hospital, Baltimore, has devised a
method of joining broken bones that
is attracting wide interest among sur
geons. His device consists of silver
bolt and nut and is simplicity itself.
The fractured bone is exposed and the
broken ends are mortised just as "a
carpenter mortises the ends of two
pieces of wood he desires to join.
Then small hole is drilled through
the joint thus made and a silver bolt
is inserted. When the nut is screwed
down the joint is immovable and the
natural knitting of the bone may pro-
coed without the interruption usually
caused by change in position and lack
of rigidity.
