Food For Youno Calves.

WV = " SSssS OsA'sSSs
Somehow it seems that a lack of
proper nourishment in the early period
of the life of a calf decreases its de-
velopment of dairy capacity just SO
much, and from this it is likely to
never fully recover In cheesemaking
and milk shipping districts there is
constant demand for some substf-
tute for skim milk in calf rearing.
n S. French of Berlin, n. D., says
he has never found anything quite
as good in this particular as thin
Cruel made of coarse wheat -four or
rye or oat meal first baked or roasted
to a slight brown in an oven and then
boiled and sailed as if for human food.
We will add this caution--that if oat-
meal is used 1t should be sifted, as
the cat hulls will prove rather irri-
tating to the stomach of young calf.
1t would seem, too, that this mixture
might prove capital thing to add to
skim milk to a certain extent. Barley
meal sifted and handled in the same
way would prove an excellent food for
young calves.
In our own practice we use barley
meal to a considerable extent in con-
nection with alfalfa hay Of course
we have plenty of skim milk, but it
is we'll to know also what to use with
1t. We hear very favorable reports
from those who have used Red Dog
flour. Too much thought and study
cannot be paid to this matter Of the
right raising Of young calves until
they get strong stomach and a good
start-Hoard's Dairyman.

few pink ones in the center Of the

The lace sailor hats are lovely this
season, and trimmed with lemon and
corn color they are more than alarm-
ing; indeed, there is quite furore for
them. The nicer ones are made of
velvet and lace trimmed with feath-
ers, plumes and masses of spring flow
ers. One lovely thin white straw
sailor is decorated with the most
feathery of aigrets, while delicate
feathery trimmings float off the back
of the hat The colors are all in
cream and corn color, yellow and gold.
A combination of two colors i'll lin

materials, is as fashionable now rs 1t

Rottlina Milk.

While it is true that much clean milk
goes to market in cans, the bottle.
filed at the farm and securely capped,
is the most cleanly and satisfactory
way to handle it, said F. E. Dawley
at meeting of the Massachusetts
board Of agriculture. The equipment
is quite expensive, but the extra milk
that is lost in dipping, together with
that which is stopped, will. it is claim
ed by many producers, pay the cost of
the bottles. 1t should be remembered,
however. that unless they are properly
cared for the glass bottles may be the
most unsanitary method of delivery.
Some bottles will come from families.
where the cleanliness is questionable
or where there is disease, and it seems
to have been proved that disease germs
can be carried in them.

THE VETERINARY.

The care of the teats should always
be observed by the mixer, and when
they get hard and rough they should
be anointed with vaseline, as cracked
teats are an annoyance to the mixer.
hurtful to the COW and have tenden-
cy to lessen the flow of milk. Long
finger nails are also a discontinue to
them well pared to avoid trouble.
Deranged Udder.
A COW will sometimes give thick
milk from one quarter of her udder.
This trouble is caused by deranged
condition of the glands. Rub the quar-
ter well after each milking with lit
tie soap liniment.
Treatment For Indigestion.
A. B. C's SOW died, and on being
opened quantity of undigested hay
was found impacted in the narrow
part of the fourth stomach, SO that
nothing could pass into the intestines.
The treatment, says DIR. Kitchener in
Farm Journal, should have been one
two drains Of fluid extract of belladon-
M and one dram of fluid extract of
nux vomica at one dose.
Remedy For caked Udder.
Give the COW one and one-half
pounds of epson salts and one ounce of
ginger dissolved in water at one dose;
also mix two drains of iodine with
two ounces of vaseline and rub a lit
tie of this on the affected part once
day until the skin becomes tender.
apply more of the ointment. and so on
until the udder becomes healthy.
Cure For Leaky Teat.
For COW with a leaky teat get 5
cents worth of collodioR and. after
each milking, dry the teat and touch Il
drop Of the collodion to the oritice
where the milk will presently be leak
Ing out. 1t dries almost instantly
and draws the opening together so
that no milk can escape. Some put
rubber band about the teat and
claim that in time the weakness is
overcome.
Warts on Cows Teats.
Smear the fingers with castor Oil and
draw the teats through the fingers
for few weeks. Rub the udder with
little of the oil so that 1t will run
down the teats. 1t is said the warts
will disappear without any pain or
core such as is caused by burning Of
the teats by any of the harsher meth
eds. This has been tried by many per-
tons, and they all report perfect sue
tess in removing the warts If the treat
ment is persevered in long enough.
Perhaps castor oil is no better than
any other grease.

SOME DAIRY NOTES.
The Best Way to Get Good cows--AI'
faIfa and Soy Beans.

The Best Way to Get Good CoWs-AI'
falfa and Soy Beans.
At a farmers institute which | at.
tended some one asked, (which is the
better way to get good cows, buy them
or raise them:' says writer in Ma.
tional Stockman and Farmer. The an.
swer was: "Raise them. Buying cows
is a lottery. No one wants to sell his
best cows except at fancy price, and
paying fancy prices for common cows
is not in the line of business dairying."
A farmer asked the dairy expert how
he kept his herd of grade Holsteins
up so that the milk would test as high
as required by law. He answered by
testing and culling out the poor ones,
adding that the butcher was great
help in profitable dairying.
Some one asked if milking machine
is practicable for dairy of fifteen
to twenty cows. The expert said he
could not recommend them, and the
cost was too great for small dairy.
Another farmer asked about the
cheapest form of protein on the market.
The answer was that if Il man has the
other elements needed for complete
ration and lacks protein only the cheap
est way to get it is to buy cottonseed
meal. 1t has four times IS much pro-
TEN as cornmeal.
One farmer had been growing alfalfa
and SOY beans. He told of his methods
and the results, saying i'll substance
that the soil for alfalfa must be well
drained and care should be taken to
procure pure seed. He had made three
cuttings in Il season, this within ten
miles of the st. Lawrence river. He
said that where a farmers land was
not adapted to alfalfa he could plant
SOY beans with his corn and put them
both into the silO.
BY raising either alfalfa or soy beans
the farmer would secure a supply of
protein ut less cost and more of it
from the same land than by growing
any other crop. Cows give more milk
when fed alfalfa than when fed red
clover hay.
The expert added that farmer
would get more fats or carbohydrates
from the same land with alfalfa than
other hay.

A Dairyman's Advice.

A we'll known dairyman recently
said: Il would like to give dairylnen
this advice: Keep the number of cows
you can feed profitably; keep record
of your herd, so as to determine the
profitable and Improbable individ-
uals. One cow will produce $50 pounds
OF butter a year. while another pro-
duces only $50 pounds on the same
feed. Keeping record will show
which are the best ones"

The Flavor In Butter.

Pure butter-that is. pure butter fat
has no "high flavor" 1t has Il very
faint flavor, If any at all. Butter con
tains some casein and whey. and they
ilmpart to it some of their distinctive
flavor, but even these substances If
clean have no thigh flavor 1t is
morally certain that any very pro-
nounced flavor in butter indicates the
presence Of some nonbutter matter
The real flavor Of milk, cream and
pure, fresh butter is very, faint, says
the Farmers Advocate. SO faint that
the majority of persons are not able to
perceive it.

Soft silk fichus in contrasting color

A woman was seen recently who had
found a way OF getting around the diff
ficulty of offending the Audubon So
ciety and at the same time gratifying
her fancy for wearing something sug-
costing a long trailing plume. The
plume drew the attention of several
women who were dining in the same
restaurant. One suggested that it was
made of silk, others said straw, and
one hazarded the guess that it surely
was glass. As matter of fact, frayed
out silk, disposed in unique fashion,
was the means employed for this novel
end.
Dainty frocks of white are much
