not too cold. Pampered animals are
not likely to give the best returns.
Milk is fit for use after calving time.
usually from the seventh to the tenth
milking. Calves should not be al
lowed to suck If milk is desired soon.
Feed the warm milk to the calf from
a pail. from the beginning. and gradu-
ally substitute warm fresh skim milk
as the calf grows older. Cook flax
seed meal in about six times its bulk of
water, and add a tablespoonful to the
milk. Increase the quantity gradually
When five or six weeks Old, give the
calf oatmeal and wheat middlings

The Aqeratum.

The small flowers Of the ageratum
are most familiar through the use of
the plants for bedding and for the bor-
ders Of flower gardens. The varieties
commonly planted are of varying tints
of blue and lavender, although pure
white blossoms are occasionally to be
seen. The small composite flower
heads are grouped together on the ends
of the branches in such way as to
give a most pleasing, almost quay ef-
feet, while the ease with which the
plant may be grown, either out of
doors or under glass. has led to its
very general use in landscape garden
Ing. The plant was originally a ma
tive OK tropical America, and apparent
~ has been in cultivation for very
long period, during which time numer-
GUS dwarf varieties have been devel-
oped.
The sced of the ageratum may be
planted indoors late in March or early
in April, or out Of doors when the dan
ger Of frost is past. The seed is fine
and should be only lightly covered.
The plants started indoors may be

may be transplanted to their perna-

two high. The plants come into bios

bloom until the killing frosts of au-

The ageratum is also useful for in

this purpose seed may be sown early in

A Compost Heap,

Every one practicing either indoor or
outdoor gardening should make a COM
post heap. This may be located in an
out-Of- the-way part of the garden or
In any other place. 1t ought to he COW
cred with a shed or boards. to pre-
vent loss through teaching.
All refuse from the kitchen or stable
may be thrown on the pile. together
with sods. lawn clippings, leaves and.
in fact. anything that will decompcse
readily. Woodashes from the crate are
especially desirable, as they add pot
ash and help keep the mixture "sweee."
Turn the heap frequently, to prevent
too rapid fermentation. For a TOP
dressing for nrth~'e'v nlants. and as
a mulch or fertilizer for lawns, or for
potting house plants, such a compost is
excellent.

Guinea Fowls,

These may profitably find room on
many farm and country place. EX-
cept during the first few weeks of their
lives. they are very hardy. and require
the least attention and feeding of any
feathered stock. 1t is best to hatch
and rear the young with hens. The old
birds are delicious eating. while the
young furnish the choicest tidbits.
There is a good demand for them in
market. The eggs are excellent for
culinary purposes, though smaller than
those from hens. The old birds usual
ly pair when the number of males and
females in flock is equal, though a
single male will take care of several
hens. The guineas are excellent watch
dogs, and no nocturnal intruder can es-
cape their vigilance and their shrill
alarm.
