We always allow the calf TO follow
the COW from n to a few days TO get
II well started In life and to lessen the
likelihood Of a spoiled udder on the
part OF the COW. says a writer In the
Farmers Advocate. Since the adoption
OF this practice we have never had a
csse OF caked udder, milk fever or
kindred aiiment, and In the case OF
short teated helfers with their first
calves the calf generally pulls the teats
out until they are large and long
enough to be grasped with the hand.
Here Is our method of teaching the
calf to drink from a pail: Take the calf

into a convenient corner and then put
his nos into the milk In the pail. Ten
chances to one he will at first refuse
to open his mouth, but a finger In II
side Just back OF his fore teeth will
give him a taste OF the milk, aud the
battle is half won. Better let him suck
your finger or some similar object, for
bis instinct tells him to reach up for
his sustenance, not down, and you will
need something to induce him to keep
his nose In the pail. After he gets to
going well gradually withdraw your
dngsr, and he will continue to take the
milk until he pauses for breath. To
avoid trouble now, better give him your
dnger again and guide his moss to the
milk, where it may again be removed.

The Approaching Meeting
OF the Presbyterian Synod
of South Carolina.

The Presbyterian synod of
South Carolina is to meet in
Laurens October 80. The ses.
sion will be held in the First
Presbyterian church and con-
tlnue through several days. The
opening sermon will be preached
oy the Rev. A. H. McArn, of
Cheraw, who is the retirin O
moderator.
The synod of South Carolina
embraces six presbyteries, as
follows Bethel, Charleston, En-
oree, Harmony, Pee Dee and
South Carolina. The several
presbyteries include PA church,
es and 145 ministers. Each
church is entitled to send one
ruling elder to the Synod. AS a
matter of fact, however, not
over one-half of this number
ever attends at one time. Some
OF the ministers are infiym
and cannot attend and many
churches for various reasons do
not send up any representation
at all.
In addition to the members of
the synod who will be present
there will be several distinguished
visitors. Among these will be
