AMOUNT OF MILK FOR CALVES.
It Varies with tho Capacity Of tho
Animal.

The amount of milk for calves
varies greatly with the capacity of
the calf to take it. The amount
recommended to be fed also varies
greatly, some authorities recommend
ing twice as much as others. With
reference to this question 1t will be
correct to say that during the earlier
weeks of the life of the calf no ad-
juncts will be found superior or equal
to milk. 1t is also true at the same
time that as soon as calves can utilize
other food to good advantage, 1t will
be found cheaper than milk. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that the calves should
be given all the milk that they can
digest properly until they can make q
good use of other substitutes that will
take the place Of milk
But care should be taken not to
overfeed milk, good as it is, cautions
the Orange Judd Farmer. This can
be easily done. The indications of
overlooking soon show themselves in
deranged digestion, and such derange-
ment is commonly indicated by scour-
ings. The moment that such an indi-
cation appears the amount of milk fed
should be reduced.
1t is very evident from what has
been said that it will not be possible
to name the amounts of milk to feed
that will be suitable for calves of all
ages, but 1t may be possible to state
average amounts. 1t would seem safe
to say that during the first week of
y,
from six to eight pounds of milk, the
latter quantity being fed at the close
of the week. Strong. vigorous calves
may take as much as ten pounds, but
ordinarily the smaller quantity is the
safer one. Then add one pound Of
milk every week with advance In the
age of the calf until it is, say, ten
weeks old.

DAIRYINe WITH A SEPARATOR.
It Makes the Work Much Easier and
Gets More Cream.

l have Just had my first experience
with a cream separator, writes a
woman correspondent of Farm and
Home. At first, or until 1 had some
experience in washing and taking
care of it as it should be, 1 thought
that it made more work than in the
setting OF cans Of milk in cold water,
but since using it for four weeks,
find 1t is just the thing
II one wishes to patronize the
creamery, it is much better to have
the separator cream to sell. One must
always cool the new separated cream
before putting it with other cream.
1t should always be churned at a
lower temperature than the skinned
cream. l think that Sc degrees is
about right for summer weather
If butter is not of the right color
it does no harm to use a good butter
color. White butter never looks so
nice as yellow butter even though it
tastes just as good. When one
wishes to pack butter to keep for
some time, it is best to put in a new
jar, and after 1t is packed and tied up,
turn the jar bottom side up in good
cool, dry place.

sILAGE INSTEAD OF GRAIN.
Experiment Which Proves Value Of
Former Over Latter.

The Ohio experiment station has
been carrying on several investiga-
tons to determine to what extent ST.
lage may be made to take the place of
grain in feeding dairying cattle. Two
rations were fed, carrying practically
the same amount of dry matter
In one ration over so per cent. of
this dry matter was derived from
grain. In the other ration over 81
per cent. of the dry matter was de-
rived from grain, no silage being fed.
The cows fed with the silage ration
produced 96.7 pounds of milk and sos
pounds of butter fat per 100 pounds of
dry matter.
The cows fed on the grain ration
produced S.13 pounds of milk and 39
pounds of butter fat per 100 pounds
of dry matter.
The cost Of feed per 100 pounds of
milk was $751; cents with the silage
ration. and $1.055 with the grain
ration.
The cost of feed per 100 pounds of
butter fat was 1871 cents with the
silage ration and 22.1 cents with the
grain ration.
The average net profit per COW per
month lover cost of labor was s5.S64
with the slage ration and $2.465 with
the grain ration.

Testing Dairy Cows.

The testing of dairy cows by diff
ferent agricultural colleges has
begun movement that is n veritable
reform. Probably nothing is so open
ing the eyes of the people as these
tests of dairy cows that are conducted
to advance the milk-producing capaci-
ties of the different breeds. The cows
being tested are scattered widely in
different parts of the country, and this
is advertising the possibilities in dairy
cows. The farmers living in the locali-
ties in which are kept these various
COWS must hear of their performances
and must be impressed with the idea
of the greater value of pure-bred dairy
stock as compared with the noa-proae.

Stomach Worms KIN Many Lambs.

The stomach worm gives us the
most trouble after the lambs are
started. / think the losses altogether
from the time the lambs come till
they are mature sheep will be about
IL per cent, writes Putnam county
(Ohio) farmer in Farmers Review.
We lose more lambs at time of birth
than at any other time. The intes-
final parasites give us much trouble,
and every now and then we lose 4
lamb from them. Dogs have occar
stoned much loss in this vicinity, for
every once in awhile they make q
raid on the sheep. We occasionally
lose sheep from getting on its back
in a slight depression, where it will
die in time If 1t Is not helped up.

The visitor threw wide the door,
and Williston's voice called cordially:

"Will you send Mary out, Willis

The voice was merry, but there was
a vibrant tone in it that made the

self-cmposure. She had known from

Black had been waiting for this. His
trained ear had no sooner caught the
soft rubbing sound of the pistol Slip

leaped to his feet and stretched out
the crumpled arm with its deadly
Geapon pointing straight at the heart
of Langford of the Three Bars.

cried. hoarsely.
There was not time for Jim to draw
but, agile as cat, he threw himself
against Blacks arm and the bullet
went wild. For moment the advant-
age was his, and he wrested the
weapon from Blacks hand. 1t fell to
the ground The two men grappled.
The struggle was short and fierce.
Each strove with all the strength of
his concentrated hate to keep the
others hand from his belt.
When the feet of the wrestlers left
the fallen weapon free, Langford, who
had been waiting for this opportunity,
sprang forward and seized it with a
thrill of satisfaction. Command of the
situation was once more his. But the
revolver was empty. and he turned to
throw himself into the struggle empty
handed Jim would thus be given a
chance to draw.
