WASH THE CALF PAIL.
Health Of Young Animals Demands
Strict Cleanliness,

A New York dairyman recently
wrote to an eastern farm paper: "a
feed pail that is not licked clean will
get sour and germs will give the calf
the bellyache." He does not say he
depends upon the calf to wash its own
pail, but that is the inference. This
is dangerous procedure Raising
healthy calves by hand demands
absolute cleanliness. A calf can
not lick a pail clean enough to be
germ proof. The pail should be
washed daily in soapy water, especial
attention being given to the seams;
scalded with boiling water and turned
right side up in the sun to dry and air.
Moreover, calf should never be al
lowed to lick its pail nor drink milk
from the open bucket in the usual
greedy fashion. Initiate nature as
closely as possible. Provide a calf
feeder whereby the youngster draws
its food through an imitation teat at
tached to a pail set on a shelf about
two feet from the ground.
Neither calf nor human should ever
drink milk rapidly or in large gulps,
says the Farmers Voice. A swallow
of milk on reaching the stomach is

chunks are small they are digested

rapidly in large quantities curdles into

tack it with difficulty, the stomach
works overtime to get it into shape for
assimilation and often goes on strike
when the innocent bystander"-the
drinker-get5 hurt. All the annoyance
of teaching calf to drink from pail
with her head down and all the bother
of fooling with hungry, butting, OBJ
streperous young heifers is avoided by
setting the feeding pail on a shelf on
this side the fence, while the calf i'm
bibes its nourishment from the other
side through tube feeder run through
a hole in the fence. This is the most
successful foster mother. If these
rules are followed calves will not have
scours. If you are aiming high it pays
to take pains.

THE FARM NEEDS SHEEP.
They Are Great Renovators of the
Soil-Try Few.

A farmer who has long been keep
ing sheep and has observed their hab-
its of feeding says:
Sheep are oftentimes spoken of as
a nuisance by some people, but wise
land owners give them credit as be-
ing great renovators of rundown or
worn-out farms, and even call them
fertility conservers.
They are the latter and more, too.
The life and habits of sheep make
them not only conservers of fer
tility, but distributors of it where
most needed, if given an opportunity.
Though sheep are averse to water
and always seek an elevation for
their resting place, they do like the
succulent growth, even through it be
weeds, found in the lowland of a field
or pasture which has been enriched
by washings from the higher sur
rounding land.
These two peculiarities of sheep
once came under very particular OBJ.
servation. When turned some sheep
into a clover field they at once sought
out the spots where the clover did
not catch and eagerly devoured any
weeds or pigeon grass that had taken
possession of the spaces. They then
sought the weeds and succulent grass
in the low places and runs in the
fields, leaving the clover on the high
land, where most needed to enrich
the soil, untouched, only touching this
grass when practically everything
else had been eaten.
More than this, when night came
the sheep sought the higher portions
of the field for their resting place and
their droppings there deposited the
fertility gathered during the day from
the lower land, thus conveying back
what had been washed away through
the process Of nature and cultivation.
A farm upon which sheep are kept
ought to be not only fertile, but also
evenly fertile, which is much de-
sired condition. Farms are very few
which cannot with profit keep sheep"

More Important THAN War.

The American harvesting machine
has won its way to usefulness all over
the world Whether drawn by horses,
steers or dromedaries, this invaluable
device is always in the vanguard of
civilization. An incident showing the
full significance and Importance of the
harvester even above an army in war
ime is related in II. N. Cassons re-
'ent book entitled, "The Romance of
he Reaper"
During the Russo-Japanese war sew
eral troop-trains that were on their
way to the front were suddenly side
racked, to make way for long
freight train loaded with heavy boxes.
The war generals and grand dukes
in charge of the troops were furious.
Why should their trains be pushed to
one side and delayed to expedite a
mere shipment of freight? They tele-
graphed their indignation to st, Pc
tersburg, and received a reply from
Count Witte.
The freight train must pass" he
said. 1T is loaded with American
harvesters. 1t means bread"

WANTED 1T OVER WITH.
Game Youngster Preferred Drastic
Action In Punishment.

youngsters are pretty philosoph-

then he went ahead to set forth the
point of view of small daughter at
his house.
The child was sent to bed early
the other evening as punishment for
some act contrary to rules and regula-
tions.
After she had been tucked in bed
for some time and was supposedly
asleep, the youngster called her fa-
ther and told him she wished he would
go ahead and spank her and have 1t
over with, instead Of sending her off
to bed that way. This lying in bed
never's going to make me any better"
she said, "and good spanking would.
Besides it makes me so mad I can't
sleep and so what's the use of it?"-

THE LIVESTOCK.

1t is a good plan to have the horses
and COWS clean up their managers after
each feed.
Horses, like men, should be COM
fortably cared for If you desire to get
good results.
When lice get foothold spray the
hogs; also spray the pens and burn
all the rubbish.
Sheep manure as fertilizer is
three times more valuable than that
dropped by cows.
There is such thing as overfeed-
ing. Feed stock all the food they will
assimilate, but no more.
Never break colt by slow walk
er because he will fall into the same
habit and habits, once formed, are
hard to break.
Horses do not need medicine unless
they are actually sick. Good care and
good feed with proper exercise is what
they require most of all else.
Hogs penned where they can get no
shade will not thrive and are more
susceptible to disease than if given
plenty of both shade and sunshine.

SPEED OF DRAFT HORSES.
While Not a Good Road Horse He
Should Be Good Traveller.

1t is generally said that the draft
horse is not meant for speed, that he
is meant merely to pull great loads.
But the farmers of this country long
ago decided that the draft horse must
have a good ability to get over the
ground In this, draft horses of the
same breed differ greatly.
In the breeding of draft horses, this
quality is being looked after some,
but it is mainly when the breeder ex-
poets to use the horses produced. For
sale purposes little attention has yet
been paid to the speed of the draft
horse.
The speed of walking is more impor-
tant with the draft horse than the
speed of running, for most of the real
service by the draft horse is rem.
dered at walk. The fast walking
draft horse is in demand.

CATTLE KILLING DEVICE.
Humane Substitute introduced In
Scotland-Gun Instead of Ak.

Consul Maxwell Blake reports that
in spite of much initial opposition on
the part of Scotch cattle killers of the
poleax style, a new device is being in
troduced in the Dunfermline slaugh-
ter house as a human substitute for
the old style of killing. The consul
describes the new instrument as fol-

By unscrewing the opposite end from

bullet. This guard is not displaced

But We'll meet our fate as bravely as we

Hanging right above the mantel, with
Old Glory in between;
And our famous friend, old hardtack,
We'll just nail 1t to the wall
'Twould stand a trip, towed by a ship,
from here to Donegal!
And in fancy, when we reach the end,
and tread the golden way,
Wen see the men who wore the blue,
and men who wore the gray;
And they'll greet us. when we meet them
on that bright and happy day.
While all will sing the army songs the
old bands used to play,
And that which touches every heart,
wherever men may roam,
The song that always brought the cheers,
that sweet song, Home, Sweet

From time to time bright memories come
of scenes passed long ago,
When as boys we marched together,
lounged around the camp fires glow.
Stood on picket guard at crossroads, or
swung out on skrmish line,
Saw flags go down-then rise up to ad-
vance, their stars a-shinel
For Freedoms cause we battled, to pre-
serve the Nations life,
Crowded centuries of progress into four
fierce years of strife.
And we look back to those old days, and
keep their memory green.
When we old boys for solace' sake ca
ressed the old canteen
Though twas filled with turbid water,
how we drank and drank againl
Twas nectar on our marches, or to lips
of dying men!
We fancy now they sing again, upon
that distant shore:
I'VE are coming, Father Abraham, three
hundred thousand more!"
We dream we see them marching with
their long and swinging stride,
To the rhythm of the dipper, tinkling
clear at each mans side,
And as they tramp DER ragged roads.
flags wave and bayonets shine,
And word comes sharp, by galloping aide;
Form men quick into line!"
Tense-nerved, brave men form lines of
blue, with flags held firm between;
The wings of our old regiments from

Shells shrek and burst above them-bul-
let's sing their fatal song;
The bugle sounds the charge-Hurrah!
