ADVANTAGES OF FALL CALVES.
Milk 10 Worth More Then, and Calves
Are Easier to Raise.

There is every good reason why
calves should ordinarily be dropped in
the fall. September and October are
the best months. In the first place, 1t
brings the biggest production of milk
at the season of the year when prices
are highest. Then, too. 1t is better
for the calf to go through the cold
months OF his first winter unweaned,
and If turned out upon pasture about
June l he will hardly miss the milk.
Much has been said and written
about raising calves, but unless the
underlying principles are kept in mind
the job is a failure. Indigestion Is
the chief difficulty with the pail-fed
calf. Some calves seem to be born
with poor stomachs. and no amount of
care will prevent the trouble.
Use moderate quantities of milk, not
exceeding four quarts for young
calf, heated to 100 degrees. Feed at
regular intervals from clean pail.
If the milk OF the COW is very rich 1t
will be safe to make it ofe-third hot
water for the first few feeds.
After five or six days begin to SUBJ
stitute skim milk in a small proper
ton, until at the end of three weeks
the youngster is wholly upon skim
milk. Keep some bright hay and
mixed feed before him, and he will
soon learn to lick them. A good.
bright stable, plenty of sun. and in
the spring a good pasture, are
essential.

Making Permanent Pastures.

Timothy alone does not make good
pasture, and blue grass is slow about
coming in. The quickest returns are
obtained from sowing thickly mix
ture of many grasses. which will give
varieties that mature at all seasons
Prepare land very thoroughly by re-
peated borrowings, pulyerize the sur
face and SOW at the rate of two BUSH
els per acre very early in the spring
The following is a good mixture for
land that is neither too wet or too dry:
Six pounds timothy, six pounds rye
grass, seven pounds Kentucky blue
grass, five pounds orchard grass, four
pounds red top, three pounds tall
meadow oat grass. three pounds
sleeps fescue, and one pound each OF
hard fescue. soft meadow grass, mead
ow fox tail, red clover and white
clover. Seed should be thoroughly
mixed, divided in equal portions and
the field sown both ways, then the
seed brushed in lightly. Keep ami
mails of until midsummer, when the
grass may be pastured lightly for the
rest of the year.

STORAGE OF BUTTER.
Stated That Large Amount is Being
Packed In Cold Storage.

1t is reported that the amount Of
very large. The fine pastures this
spring and summer have made 1t pos
sible to produce an enormous amount
of milk. and the creameries have been
able to secure an unusually large
amount of this. The surplus butter.
instead of going onto the retail mar
ket to depress the prices, has gone
into the storage houses.
1t is said that on the first Of June
last year the total amount of butter
in the cold storage houses Of the
country amounted to 100000 pounds,
while this year the amount on the
same date was 100000 pounds. This
is a good start and indicates that the
market is well under control.
1t also indicates, says Farmers Re-
view, that there is a great deal
of money in the hands of the
men that are storing this butter.
Last summer when the tightness Of
the money market began to be felt,
much of the butter being held had to
be thrown on the market to get out
of 1t the value tied up in it. That
the buyers of butter are able to store
and hold such large quantities indi-
Gates decided improvement in the
commercial conditions. The farmers
are in every way benefited by the
state of affairs. as it prevents the de-
moralization of the butter market,
which would affect the farmers both
through the creameries and through
the farm butter trade.

1t was about eight o'clock when
Darlington and Seton left the hall,
turning their backs upon one another
in beginning this famous man and
woman hunt. Seton, mounted on his
best horse. covered the ground at a
great pace. Naturally he made much
better time than Strathgate had, for
all his furious driving of the bays
1t was half past nine when at bend
in the road he came upon the over
turned carriage. Here was tangible
evidence that he was on the right
track. He brought his horse to full
stop and dismounted to examine into
the situation.
The cause OF the accident was obvi-
GUS to the simplest mind. He was not
content with determining that, how
ever. So he inspected the carriage
with the minutest care He was not
long in discovering the hole made by
Ellen's pistol ball through the seat,
and he instantly OWNED that some
one in the carriage had tried to kill
the driver.

PERIOD OF LAcTATION.
It Has an Important Bearing on the
Value Of the Cow.

The period of lactation, or the
length Of time a COW will milk, is an
important point. and one that does not
seem thoroughly appreciated. The
"escutcheon." or milk mirror" is /,
fair guide to what may be expected
from COW on this score, but weekly
records of the milk are more reliable,
and If these records are compared
with the escutcheon and general APP
pearance. much valuable information
will be learned.
The heaviest mixers are not always
the best cows, as many an animal
tity will continue to milk almost up
to her next calving, yielding in the
long run more milk, and being, there
fore, the more profitable COW for the
dairy.
AS rule, the smaller the yield, the
richer is the quality of the milk. and
similarly the smaller breeds Of cattle
generally give the best milk. The
richness of milk is due to the proper
ties OF the fat globules. Milk con-
tanning large and regular sized fat
globules yields up all the butter fat
In tho churn. and all conditions being
equal. makes better butter, both in
flavor, color and quality, than that
containing small and irregular sized
fat globules.
The trade or business of the farm
should therefore determine the breed
of the COW to be used If milk is re-
CURED. the larger breeds of cattle
should be kept; if butter, the small
err ones.

sketch. The labor of operating this
churn is less than either the dash or
the whirling paddle form. and it makes
better butter There are no inside fix
lures to be cleaned and no crevices or
corners that are difficult to clean.
This churn has hole in the side
near the bottom, through which the
buttermilk may be drawn off, which
is great advantage. 1t is demon
strated fact that butter can be
churned better in churn having no
internal fixtures than in one with an
elaborate set of paddles.

schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed OF
some Of the most eficacious and uni

Each one of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has q reputation of its own

as q tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many

chronic catarrh. They have visited doc

that their case ia one of chronic catarrh.

Sandy Soil.

Sandy soil Is very easy to work, and
when the humus is abundant the pro-
ductiveness is not below that of other
soils. Many sandy soils carry good
percentage of clay. though that does
not appear to the ordinary observ-
er. A soil that has no clay is not soil
but sand. Such is not suitable for
agricultural operations till it has been
modified by the application of clay.
There are many localities where a
slight increase of the clay content of
the sand soil would greatly increase
it's capacity. The clay makes the
sandy soil retentive of moisture and
also enables 1t to hold the soluble
plant food so necessary to the growth
of plants.
