Feeding the Dairy Calf.

The calf that is to be raised for
the dairy must be fed differently
from the calf that is to be made into
a beef steer. The feeding must be
with the object of inducing certain
habits in the growing animal. The
habits to be established are such as
will result in large production Of
milk when the calf becomes a cow.
Therefore fattening foods should not
be fed, to the extent of fattening the
calf, as, when the calf becomes
cow that same habit will result in
turning large part of the food into
beef. On the other hand, if the calf
is not fed so that she gets fat, but
is fed only enough to keep her grow
ing, the habit will be formed of not
laying on flesh. Whole milk is
good feed, but is too expensive to be
fed after the first month. After that
skinned milk should be large part
Of the ration. For digestion's sake
it is better to add a little oil meal in
place Of the butter-fat that has been
removed.

STOCK
Points Of the 'Drafe Horse.


Prof. Geo. M. Rommel, Of the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture,
relative to the required qualities of
the marketable draft horse, says:
Size and Weight-The weight that
Will characterize horse as drafter
will be that above which he can not
work at trot without waste of effort
and horsef1esh and below which he
can work more economically by haul
ing smaller loads at increased speed.
Ihls weight is pretty generally con.
ceded to be 1000 pounds in fair flesh.
The height Of drafter will vary from
l5.S hands for the smaller sorts to
17.2 hands for horses of great weights.
The Importance of weight in a draft
er must not be overlooked. His pur-
pose is solely that of heavy work,
pulling great loads at the walk, and
to fulfill this requirement most per-
fectly the first essential is weight,
with, OF course, proportional size.
Without weight the immense loads
that are to be hauled over our city
streets could not be moved, and care
full observation of the average prices
has shown that, other things being
equal, draft horsefesh is worth about
$25 for every additional hundred
pounds it can show over 1000 pounds
1t is also essential that as much as
possible of this weight be bone and
muscle. Though many buyers un-
questionably demand fat, and the truth
is that horse cannot sell for cred
liable price unless fat, the effective
value Of horse as a worker should
not be lost sight of.
Conformation. - His conformation
should enable the animal to make his
weight as effective as possible, and,
at the same time, assure a reasonably
long period of usefulness. For this
purpose he must have rather short,
heavy neck and a. shoulder sloping
enough to take the collar we'll, but
not so straight as to cause post
Leg and bring about premature un-
soundness. The back should be short,
we'll muscled and strongly coupled to
the hind quarters, which should be
nicely rounded, smooth and plentifully
supplied with muscle Particular at
tention should be paid to the hook.
The legs must be moderately short
and have supply of bone sufficient to
support the weight and work of the
animal, and, of course, must be sound.
A short leg, with low-set knees and
hooks, is one that will stand wear and
tear and usually goes with a strong.
closely coupled body. Head and neck
should be proportionate to the size
of the horse. The whole appearance
should be massive
Action.-The action of the drafter
is confined almost exclusively to the
walk. For this reason the walk is of
vital Importance. Rapidly of step
and length of stride enable him to
cover considerable ground in the least
possible time. Straightness, smooth.
ness, regularity, and lack of friction
enable him to do this with the least
possible wear and injury to himself.
The trot should possess all the merits
of the walk.

AGAIN the Sheep.

Again the sheep is to become an
important animal on the eastern farm.
In the old days farming was never
considered ideal unless the lambs were
to be seen ''gamboling on the hill
side" 1t has been long time since
the lambs gamboled on some of our
eastern hillsides. The lowering price
of wool led the farmer to turn to the
marketing of the carcass of the wool
producing sheep, but when he tried
to do that he found the people unre-
sponsive to his efforts. In fact, the
long-wooled sheep did not produce a
carcass that was very taking with
the ordinary consumer. He claimed
that he could feel the wool in his
teeth" every time he bit into the car
cass.
But times have changed, and so have
the sheep. The mutton sheep, yield
ing fair clip of wool, has taken pos.
session of most of the country. The
people that have been eating his car
cass have failed to find the wool with
their teeth or with their nostrils.
They have pronounced it good and
have asked for more. The demand
has grown till the consumption has
overtaken production and the prices
for mutton have begun to ascend.
Moreover, the price of wool too has
improved, SO that between the price
of wool and the price of mutton the
sheep raiser finds himself in happy
state of mind. The eastern farmer Is
corresponding with the producer of
blooded rams and asking the prices
and how soon he can ship an animal
Altogether the outlook for the sheep
is better than it has been for many
years.

Give the Calf Some Grain.

There are good many things we
do not know about cattle raising, and
especially about the rearing of the
calf. There are a few things that we
are beginning to find out, and among
them is the fact that it does not pay
to, try to, raise the calf on dry hay
alone. The cost of producing gains
on calves in winter is least when a
partial ration Of grain is fed along
with the hay. The calves that have
only dry hay all winter make coor
gains and some of them go into spring
in very thin condition. This is tho
case most where the cattle are made
to partly fill up on straw and have
only dry hay for the rest of their IA,
ton. Straw contains such .arge pro.
portion of fiber to nutrients that it re.
quires about all there is, in it to pay
for the work of digestion. The calf
should be kept growing all the time,
and this can only be made possible by
giving him food rich IN nutrients. ii

Butter Marketing Project That Failed.
Not long ago the butter merchants
OF San Francisco realized the fact
that their supply of butter was so
great that if something was not done
at once the price of all their butter
would be forced down to a point too
low to permit of a reasonable rrofit
1t was therefore agreed that each
house should contribute part Of their
butter to make up several cars to be
sent to points farther east where
prices were just enough higher to en-
able them to get rid Of the surplus
All went we'll till the time came for
putting the butter into the cars. Then
some of the firms on one pretext or
another held back all of the butter
that had been promised for the cars.
Each one had reasoned that if the
surplus butter was pushed off the
market his own butter would all sell
at good price. Thus each man be-
gan to try to get ahead of all the
others by letting them make the sac
rifices and by lying low himself to
reap the benefit. Unfortunately, so
many tried to work this scheme that
the project itself failed, only one car
instead of several being sent out. The
dealers now have a very unkindly
feeling toward the men that promised
butter but held it back.

Registered for Performance.

In the Island Of Jersey a COW is not
registered because her parents were
registered, but because of her own
performance at the pail. A COW must
reach certain standard before she
becomes eligible. This is very good
practice to follow inside a breed. It
could not be safely followed outside
of breed, as it would necessarily set
aside the principle of prepotency as it
is represented in the established
breeds. Registering for performance
is very effective method of squirting
on the improving Of any breed. The
line breeding merely gives us more
cows of the same breed, but does not
improve the breed except to fix it's
qualities. BY registering for perform
ance we place a value on increased
performance.

1richinosis.

Trichinae in pork is more common
than it should be, and every farmer
that produces his own pork should be
on the outlook for it. 1t is not always
the pork that comes from the packing
houses that contains trichinae. Now
and then we hear of it's coming from
the farms where only one or two pigs
are reared each year for food for the
family. The home-raised hog should
be entirely free from this trouble, es
pecially if he is kept shut up during
the entire year, as is the case with
most pigs raised singly.
Hogs that rove in the pastures gel
hold of food that produces the tri
chinae. Thus a hog that has had the
trichinae is killed and pieces of the
flesh that have trichinae get thrown
out and are eaten by rats. The rat:
die and are picked up and eaten in
the field by hogs. The hogs thus gel
the trichinae. There seems to be but
one way by which trichinae get into
the muscles of animals, and that is BY

of the stomach. A man eats piece Of
pork that has the insects encysted
In his stomach the acids work on the
cysts and destroy them, thus lettins

How pigs that are shut up in the
barn get trichinosis it is difficult tt
say, unless it be by being fed the en-
trails of other hogs that have beer

their flesh. Care should then be take1
about the hogs feed, and if it. does mo-

trouble cannot be spread. (Trichi

presence of trichinae.)

Boil the Strainers.

On q great many farms cloth strain.
ers are used. Those that have been
in the habit of using such strainers
will be able to remember the history
Of some Of them. That history is that
the strainer is used and washed out
just as the dishrag is used and washed
out, In water not much over 1vO de.
grees in temperature, which tempera.
ture is comfortable for the hands. The
hands cannot bear a temperature
much above lis degrees. Such low
temperatures will not DESTROY the
germs of Tactic acid ferments.
The inevitable result is that thou
sands of these invisible ferment germs
remain alive in the cloth. When the
next milking comes around the same
cloths are used. They look clean and
are clean SO far as dirt is concerned,
for Tactic acid ferments are not dirt.
But they are a starter for the new lot
of milk, and in many cases account
for the milk souring in twelve hours
or such a matter.
Wnere milk is to be kept for TWEEN.
ty-four or more hours care must be
taken to keep out Of it all ferment
germs that might act as starters. In
the case of the strainer this can be
easily done; for it is not difficult
matter to boil it. This can be done by
putting it in dish of hot water and
setting it on the back Of the stove
when there is good fire. The only
trouble is to form the habit of doing
this,
1t really makes little difference
whether the strainer is of wire or
cloth so far as killing all the ferments
is concerned. Some of them will re-
main even in the wire strainer if great
care is not used in it's cleaning. The
surest way is to even boil the wire

In the winter of 1923 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by a severe at
tack of rheumatism. His DOCTOR treat.
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse-
quently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu.
siasm.
"After five or six weeks of helpless
ness and pain," said he, " during which
I was receiving regular visits from tho
doctor, felt as bad as ever. Just then
my mother, a woman eighty years Of
age, paid me visit. She had received
great benefit from DR.. Williams Pink

help me- At her solicitation I gave up

in it's place."

care there no traces left?"
"Absolutely none. For a year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return Of the old trouble. For
this happy result and my family freely
praise DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Within the bounds of China township,
St. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schrot ppel. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted a great deal OF attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing of the
salutary results in Mr.. Schroeppel's case,
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment." :.
1t is little wonder that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor in the COM
munity where Mr.. Schroeppel and Cap
tain Balfour are SO well aud favorabfy
known. They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful in curing
neuralgia. sciatica and partial paralysis.
