RAISING CALVES.
Method Of Feeding Which Has Been
Adopted by Many Successful
Stockmeu.

Some Of the most painstaking and
successful calf raisers begin by giving
the calf only pint of the first milk
that comes every few hours for several
days. After the first week skim milk
for half ration is mixed with new milk,
increasing each time the amount of
whole milk. The milk should always
be fed warm, at 100 degrees, that being
blood heat, and then there is no check
ing in the process OF digestion.
BY the time the calf is a month old
it is allowed to eat some very nice,
fine hay or rowen. The hay has a ten
dency to regulate the bowels and pre-
vents scours, disease dreaded by calf
raisers. II the bowels are constipated.
give the milk at a lower temperature:
II too loose, give the milk as hot as the
calf will drink it. II diarrhoea is
troublesome, diminish the amount of
milk, feed it very warm and give two
raw eggs at each feeding. If the eggs
fail, which they rarely do, give a tea
spoonful of castor oil, and the same of
olive oil, with a teaspoonful of pare
goric mixed in pint of hot milk. Fol-
low the oils with teaspoonful of pull

FATTENlNG TURKEYS.
Some Hints for Preparing the Birds
for the Market-What to
Feed Them.

When selling dressed poultry, it al
ways pays to- have as plump, nice
looking carcasses as can possibly be
obtained. The producer thus not only
obtains higher prices, but his reputa-
ton is enhanced and his market made
surer for future years. Turkeys are
no exception to the rule. And by
shutting them up and feeding them
properly, the poorest specimens may
be brought into a fine condition for
marketing in a month or two. Some
have found that barley meal and corn
meal, mixed half and half, is a most
excellent ration for fattening fowls,
especially if it be fed fresh at each
meal, with no more given than the
turkeys will eat up clean. 1t is the
opinion of the writer, however, that
more variety is better. Accordingly.
he would suggest that boiled potatoes,
mashed and mixed with meal, with
some skinned milk added, be fed
moderately warm and to- substitute for
the lack of insects, have some kind of
animal food, of which nothing is
cheaper or more desirable than butch
ers' scraps, stirred into it. At least
once day good sound corn one year
old, should also be given; new corn is
too loosening to be used. No more Of
this than of the mash, however, should
be thrown out than the birds can be
induced to eat up clean and that their
flesh may look bright and present a
neat appearance, they should have all
the water they want to drink. Tur-
keys that have got their growth and
are in fair condition, may be fattened
for market in few weeks if they are
confined and well fed and watered
every day.-Agricultural Epitomist

STOCK SUGGESTIONS.

When fed dry, shelled corn is more
economical than corn meal to feed
to fattening hogs.
Desirable breeding qualities in a
herd are fixed by long line of care
full selection and breeding.
A sheep adapted to every section and
to every breeders surroundings cannot
be grown in the same animal.
When an all-corn ration is fed to
growing pigs the muscles of the body
do not develop to their normal size.
To secure the best results care should
be taken to feed the hogs according to
age, conditions and time of marketing.
In selecting breeding stock it is an
item to know whether they are from
a family noted for fertility, as this is
an inherited quality.
Do not think that rough usage will
cure horse of the shying habit. He
soon associates the one with the other
and becomes hard to control.

mot only is a barn constructed in

lSupposing we wanted to prop up some
thing heavy, say a sawlog, we would
not put square under it, but a tri-.

the same purpose as do the slant ends

In the fall is double loss. A little feed
in the early winter will produce sub
stantial gains, while the lack of it will
result in a decided loss. There is no
time in che year that you get more for
your grain than in the early winter.
Keep the flock sheltered from all
storms at this season, putting them in
the barn merely to shelter them from
the wind and storms and not to keep
them warm. Keep all doors open, yet
avoid drafts. This keeps the barn at
nearly the same temperature as the
outdoor air. Keep the sheep dry and
prevent drafts and you need not worry
about the cold.-D. d. Deeds, in Farm
