Dear Sir:-Your favor of March

Senator Kittredge as a senator and as
to whether he has worked in harmony
with the president, is at hand.
In reply I desire to say that SO far
as I know he has supported all the
prominent measures recommended by
the administration. He was particu-
larly active in helping to secure pas
sage of the railway rate bill, and on
that subject was entirely in harmony
with the president, and so far as
know he has the full confidence OF
both the president and Secretary Taft.
| may say that on all great public
questions he has always been on the
side of what / term reform n on

In fact, l have always felt that |

the passage Of any that
deemed for the best welfare of the
people. Senator Kittredge is one of
the most energetic and industrious
members of the senate. l have serv-
ed with him for several years on the
judiciary committee, which deals with
important legal and constitutional
questions, and l have always found
his judgment clear and sound and
have found him ever ready to take a

OPEN AIR TREATMENT,
Calves Are Healthier When Kept in
the Open.

For the past IL 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,
racing 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 large yard
In Which the calves run. Before win
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 shed and
yard for it's winter run. They are left,
there until spring, having free access
to the yard every day, and it 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
1t 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 heifer 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 a 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"

SWINE FOR THE SHOW.
What Is Necessary to Give Them Fine
Appearance.

We never confine in a small pen an
animal intended for the show ring,
nor do we keep one alone. We want
each bunch to have a clover or rape
pasture of reasonable size, where they
can exercise and grow a frame and
bone as we'll as put on fat, says Har-
vey johnson. We want the fitting Pc
riod to extend over several months; in
fact, from infancy to the time of
showing it should be a gradual and
complete development of all parts of
the animal, and not a short crowding
period, that will cause the formation
OF bone and muscle, and it is much
less likely to injure the breeding quail
tiles of an animal, in bringing it I'D
to that high state of flesh required
by many of our judges, when the fit
ting process is gradual develop
ment.
In the growing and fitting in swine
for exhibition there are a great many
details that must be attended to, such
as keeping the appetite in the best
possible condition; feeding balanced
ration; keeping the feet trimmed:
seeing that each one takes proper
amount of exercise each day; that
they have good shade, where there is
complete circulation or air, and that
the animal will be SO handled that it
will be at its best at the time of
showing. Every exhibitor is aware OF
the fact that success or failure in the
show ring often hinges upon one or
more of these details.
