fine. In the lot was large trout

delphia, which is so thoroughly in
line with the teachings of most of
the experienced men in the business
of growing the skim-milk calf that we
give it in substance:
Professor Soule recommends that
the calf should be given it's mothers
milk three times a day, and at the
rate OF four pounds, or two quarts, OF
milk per feed given at blood tempera-
ture, or about 100 degrees. At the
end of ten days feeding twice day
would be sufficient. He recommends
commencing the use of skim-milk
when the calf is two weeks old, substi-
tuting a pound or two per day in
the ration of full milk until the change
is finally effected, meanwhile teaching
the calf to eat a little ground oats or
bran with a little oil meal and grad
ually substituting whole corn fed dry.
He remarks that "the digestion OF
starchy food depends largely on the
action of the saliva contained in the
mouth, and therefore it is necessary
that the grain be thoroughly masti-
Gated before swallowing. Hence the
ACCESSIBILITY of feeding it dry, and in
a limited amount, commencing with
a handful and increasing it two or
three pounds per day at six months
of age" and giving it all the good
clover or mixed clover and timothy
hay that it cares to eat. CA pound
per day per hundred pounds of weight
would not be excessively
Professor Soule estimates the usual
gain that may be expected from calves
fed in that way is from pound and
a half to two pounds per day, and that
700 to 1000 pounds of skim-milk, 10
pounds of grain, and 800 to 400 pounds
of hay will be necessary to make 100
pounds of gain.
He reports a Kansas experiment, in
which it was found that calf at
five months of age fed on skim-milk
made a daily gain of Isl pounds at

proved by the years work of the Jer-
sey COW, Evelyn of Vendera. Probably
no one will ever know better what a
cow ought to have in the way of food
than the COW herself. Evelyn was
down to hard work for whole year
producing those 538 pounds of but
ted. She was given choice of ra-
ton of alfalfa and concentrates, but
refused the latter and went right on
making the record mentioned, which is
phenomenal for three-year-old. To
the mind of many, she has thrown a
doubt upon the necessity OF feeding
concentrates with alfalfa.
Dairyina in Yakima and Mckee VAL
What is said below about dairying
in the Yakima and surrounding dis
tricts may be applied with equal truth
fulness to almost any section of the
state of Washington. The reports
from the dairy commissioners office
show that Washington is steadily
forging to the front in the dairy bust
ness. More butter and milk products
were put on the market in 1905 than
the year previous and eighteen new
creameries were built in this state
alone Many thousand acres of the
land of Washington is adapted to
grazing purposes and is being rapidly
turned into big dairy ranches.
The Tieton canal in the Yakima val
ley will open up many rich acres OF
first-class pasturage. Some OF the
land watered cannot be used for farm

cost of SGT cents per pound. A calf
fed on whole milk gained 1.8 pounds
per day at cost of 1913 cents per
pound; and a calf running with the
dam made a gain of LIT pounds per
day at cost of II cents per pound.
The cost of 100 pounds of gain for
the three months of feeding was there
fore $2.26 for the skim-milk lot, $7.O6
for the whole-milk lot, and SAL for
the lot running with the dams.
We might add that one of the great
advantages of growing calves on skim
milk is in the supply of milk that will
be left for the pigs. Any COW that is
worth milking on western farm will
give twice as much milk as the calf
needs for the first four months OF its
existence The rest, if fed to pigs
whose main feed is corn or peas, will
add so per cent to the value of the
food used for feeding.

Alfalfa for the Dairy Cow.

The superior feeding value OF al
falfa in comparison with other forms
of roughage has generally been adj
mitted, but to what extent it can
take the place of concentrates has
not been clearly decided. Many dairy
men there are who contend that with
good alfalfa available, either green or
as hay grain or mill feeding is not
justified, that they do not force milk
production sufficiently beyond what
liberal alfalfa feeding will do, to pay
for themselves. Other dairymen there
are who contend that it pays to cut
down the alfalfa allowance and substi-
tute some concentrates.
Viewed from the point of the chemis-
try of feeding it would seem that al
falfa is a perfectly balanced ration
for the dairy cow and that the only
question involved is the quantity she
shall have. That this is safe basis
for a dairyman to work on is aptly

ing purposes and will be grazed. The
new Yakima Valley railroad, when
completed, will be great boon to
the dairymen of the Upper Natchez
valley. There are many acres of good
pasture land in the foothills of the
Cascades and the ranchers have been
sending their cream to relay stations,
from there it has been carried to an
other station and from there delivered
to the market at North Yakima.
The butter products of the Yakima
valley have become very important
item of revenue to the settlers who
have taken claims in the foothills.
Milk sells at a good price the year
around. There appears to be a scare
ity of milk in the city of North Yaki-
ma at the present time, and creamery
butter continues to sell at good
price and is in good demand.
The Dutch ranchers of the Mckee
valley are planning a cheese factory
for their vicinity, with a daily capac-
ity of several hundred pounds. They
expect to make use of all the skim
milk from their dairies, and will al
so make a full cream cheese and
some of the good old Swiss variety.

This shows on the figures that 1e9 followers of Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman have been elected. but as a matter of fact there are several in this number who owe allegiance not to the Liberal party, but to what may be called the middle party. composed of Socialists. Irish voters. working men and the old Gladstone Liberals.
