RAISING CALVES WITHOUT MILK.
Considerable discussion is going OF as to
the plan of raising the calf without milk.
1t looks as IL this was one more of the bad
habits which has come with the advent
OF the valuable separator. While more or
less success has been had in raising caves
without milk no one has yet been able to
prove that it can he lone with as good
results as by the natural method. To take
me milk from the calf Is TO taka from 1t
it's natural food and only one result can
obtain. Dried blood, water mixed bran
and any other subtcrfuge will not take
the place of milk. The written has exper-
lmented with them all and has reached the
+ conclusion that II a calf is worth raising
at all it iB worth feeding with the food
natura intended for 1t, milk, at least to
an when 1t could be properly and
safely w.aned- True. after tho first two

SUCCESSIVE CROPS OF CORN.
The modern methods Of agricultur
teach that a rotation Of crops Is essential
for the best Results and especially is /
necessary in order to keep up soil fertility
A correspondent asks. How can you re
commend the rotation Of crops SO strongl
when experiment stations grow corn yea
after year on the same field?" Our reade
evidently refers to the work OF the Ne,
Jersey experiment station but either fol
gets to refer to their methods or else
not familiar with them. One this famou
farm the soil is kept in the highest stat
OF fertility by proper methods and Will

question IL. how many farmers are willin
to take the time and. do the work neces

that rotation of crops will be PRACTICAL
