OPEN AIR TREATMENT.
Calves Are Healthier When Kept In
the Open.

For the past ~ years or more Hood
farm in Massachusetts has been rear
ing its choice Jersey calves and
carrying them through the winter by
what is termed the open air methods"
In describing this plan in a recent is
sue Of the Practical Dairyman, Val
ency e. Fuller, in speaking Of the
calves and their treatment, says:
They have row of low, long sheds.
facing south, with the roof sloping to
the north, divided off into about five
sections. There are windows facing
the southern exposure and they are
long horizontally, admitting the sun.
light on bright days. There is door
which is rarely closed through the
winter, unless there are unusually bad
snow storms from the south or south.
west
Each shed or pen has a large yard
ter sets in, all the calves except the
very young ones, and those not old
enough to be sent up to their Vermont
place, are divided off according to ages
and sex, and each lot has a shed and
yard for its winter run. They are left
there until spring, having free access
to the yard every day, and 1t is won
derful to see how they will go out in
a snowstorm. and scamper and enjoy
themselves. Manure from the horse
stables is put in daily, and of course
changed every day, and the calves find
it an aid in warming their bodies at
night when they lie down.
This system has resulted in produc-
ing strong, rugged heifers and young
bulls, and helps to make larger cows.
When treated in this way, they are
not pampered, and while they are ex-
posed to the severe weather of Massa-
chusetts. sickness is very rare.
IF dairy farmers would have their
cows calve in the early fall, and treat
the calves in this way. they would
get splendid growth in the winter and
would be ready to put them out on pas
ture in the spring, thereby guarantee,
ing good growth, rugged animals and
good sized heller when calving time
came.
Further along in the same row of
sheds are the pens for the service
bulls, with yards adjacent.
1T is very rare to see the bulls in
the sheds, except in very inclement
weather, and then only for very
short time, and as they are never tied
up, they are usually roaming about
the yards, and the same may be said
Of the heifer and bull calves. The
coats of the bulls grow very long. 1t
seems to me that this is Natures
way of treating the bulls. They re-
main in these yards and pens summer
and winter. This prolongs life, makes
them vigorous and active, docile, and
is, in fact, conducive to health in every
way"

THE SOW WITH THE PIGS.
What One Farmer Considers the Best
to Feed Her.

The best feed I have found for the
brood SOW with litter of pigs is
ground oats and corn mixed with a
little mill feed, writes correspond
ent in the Farm and Home. When
soaked ten or twelve hours before
feeding it serves better. feed the
sow all she will eat up clean.
The pigs will soon learn to like
this slop. and l have had them eat at
three weeks old. AS the pigs grow
older the feed can be varied by add
ing fruits and vegetables, which they
will relish. In summer do not omit
anything greer that is handy. BY
feeding only small amount in a

Open Sheds In the pasture.

In some of the pastures that we
know Of are open sheds that consist
OF nothing but roofs supported on pow
erfil posts. These sheds are some
times eight feet high. The wind has
clear sweep through them both night
and day. The roofs protect the farm
animals from the rain at night and
from the sun in the day time. In the
hot summer nights the stock sleep
under these sheds If it is rainy and
the wind can blow over them. 1t is
q humanity towards the stock.

STOCK YARDS ON FARM.
Convenient Sorting Pen Should Be
Arranged.

Many farmers would handle more
live stock If they could do 1t easily,
but the laborious and costly way most
farmers have of handling, sorting, and
marketing live stock, together with
the small profit therein outside of
maintaining the fertility of the farm,
has kept many from following the
business.
