We always allow the calf to follow
the cow from one to few days to get
It well started In life and to lessen the
likelihood Of spoiled udder on the
part Of the COW. says writer In the
Farmers Advocate. Since the adoption
Of this practice we have never had q
case of caked udder. milk fever or
kindred ailment, and in the case Of
short teated heifers 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 pail: Take the calf
from the COW. say, in the morning and
pen him securely away from her. Give
him comfortable berth where he can
not injure himself in his efforts to
get to his dam and do not try to feed
him until the following morning. The
fast will not injure him in the least,
but it will make him tractable and
anxious to be taught Treat him kind
~, but firmly, and his lesson will soon
be learned. 1t is better to back him
into a convenient corner and then put
his nose into the milk in the pail Ten
chances to one he will at first refuse
to open his mouth, but finger in one
side just back Of his fore teeth will
give him a taste of the milk, and the
battle is half won Better let him suck
your finger or some similar object. for
his 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 we'll gradually withdraw your
finger, and he will continue to take the
milk until he pauses for breath. To
avoid trouble now, better give him your
finger again and guide his nose to the
milk, where it may again be removed.
A few such repetitions will soon teach
him that his food is to be found in the
pail, and your task is at an end-he has
learned to drink
Dutch Belted Cattle.
Dutch Belted cattle are jet black,
with a band Of pure white entirely
around the body. This unique uniform
makes them very attractive. A herd
of them at pasture calls forth exclama-
tons of admiration from all who see
them They are large dairy cattle. A
number of bulls of this breed have ex-
ceeded a ton in weight, and the COWS
usually weigh between 1000 and 1850
pounds. AS producers Of good milk
they are unsurpassed. These cattle

Up to Date Dairyinw,

In Denmark the dairymen are grow
Ing to be experts because they employ
skilled superintendent who has
charge OF a certain district. He visits
the dairies within his territory once or
twice In two weeks and gives them the
benedt Of his skill and observation. If
he finds that the man in charge Of the
dairy is not up to date he requires him
to remedy the defect, whatever 1t may
be. He takes samples Of milk from
each cow and reports at bis next visit

Afterward apply little of any good

Historic Old New York.
Greenwich village, in New York city,
was first brought into prominence
when Sir Peter Warren, descended
from an ancient Irish family and vice
admiral of the British feet, settled
there in 1744. He married Susannah
De Lancey and settled on a fine estate
Of more than 800 acres, running from
Christopher street to West Twenty
first 1t was laid out like an English
park, with splendid hedges and ave-
nues Of trees and fine old mansion,
which was the resort Of all the quality
Of old New York. His three daughters
all made brilliant marriages In Eng
land. One became the Countess Of
Abingdon, and her name Is preserved
In Abingdon square. On the division
Of the estate at Sir Peters death the
homestead fell to her. She sold 1t to
Abijah Hammond, who sold 1t to Abra.
ham Van Nest, and 1t Is still remem-
bered by many as the old Van Nest
house, demolished in &B5. Among
other distinguished persons who have
lived in Greenwich were Oliver De
Lancey, William Bayard, Washington,
Vice President and Mrs. John Adams,
Aaron Burr and Tom Paine. Barrow
street was originally named Reason
street in compliment to the great in
