right CARE OF

NEW MEANING FOR scRuRRING,

change to a bare floor and few rugs.
The finishing of the floor Is a very
simple matter. Il may be painted,
stained, oiled or waved. In any case
1t should be cleaned thoroughly, all
stains removed and given coat OF
filler. If the floor was made for a
carpet there will probably be cracks
which will need filing. Putty colored
like the wood is very satisfactory for
this. If the boards are lnotty, they
should be painted. Otherwise a trans
parent finish may be used. Stains
made by paint or varnish are easily
removed with ammonia. but 1t should
be put on with a brush. The whole
floor may be cleaned In this way. The
ammonia darlSens the wood somewhat.
Merely oiling with crude oil, linseed
or kerosene gives a good finish, pro
vided a very small quantity is used
and that 1t is thoroughly rubbed IN
and no superfuous oil Is left on the
floor.

from sucking each other when they

they are fed. The quantity of grain
Is gradually increased until at two
a quart of the mixture a day. About
this time the feeding of a small guam
tity of roots and silage begins, and
the calves are given all the hay they
will eat. Milk is fed until the calves
are six months old, sometimes longer.
They have access to fresh water at
all times.
The calves are fed in stanchions
like the illustration. These stanchions
are very convenient and are easily
constructed.

they are fed less milk, grain, etc,

GOOD WORK IS LOVED WORK
And T1herein.A One Should Find the
C%ontentment That Is Chief
; Part. Of Life.

If . man doesn't love his work, he
had better get something else to do.
But the trouble is that such people
will hardly love any kind Of work.
The trouble is in them. They lack
intelligence. If they knew enough
to know good work, they would soon
learn to love it. The manual-train-
ing scheme has this in view-to sur
round the job a mar is doing with
such intelligence and taste as will
make it attractive to him.
"The man who is in love with his
job gets more contentment u of life
than any other says Brander Mat
thews; and he gets a great part of his
~contentment in doing his work right.
No man can love his work who shirks.
No nan can be cOntented who is dis
honest about his work. This is shirk'
ing or doing it negligently. So these
things always go together-honest
work. contentment and love of the job.

Licenses are refused to horses found
to possess any Of certain enumerated
unsoundnesses believed to be heredi-
tary.
7 Since every farmer has use for the
work horse, why not have good mares
to do this work? Mares which, be-
sides doing the same work better than
q scrub. and on just as little cost OF
keeping. will produce a good colt once
a year. These colts will pay well for
the investment and trouble. Consid-
ering the strong demand for horses at
good prices, the ease of raising them,
and their many other advantages. it
seems plain that the good horse is the
horse for the farmer. and that he
should not only breed enough to keep
himself supplied with teams, but
should have one or more to sell every
year.

SUCCESS IN REARING CALVES
Prominent Stock Raiser Above
Youngsters to Nurse Their Dams
But Once-His Method, q.

A prominent stock raiser says he
does not allow his calves to nurse
their dams but once. After this they
are fed their mothers milk for two
weeks. The first week they are given
two quarts at noon and two quarts in
the evening. The second week they
are given three quarts twice a day,
morning and evening. During the
next two weeks the feed Of the calf
consists of half whole and half skim
milk. with a pinch of flaxseed meal
(made by grinding the whole seed)
added to it. about one ounce at a feed.
The quantity of milk fed during this
period (the second two weeks) is
about three quarts twice a day.
After the calf is a month old it is
given four quarts of skim milk twice
a day with an ounce of flaxseed meal
and a handful of mixed cornmeal and
ground oats. The calf is taught to
eat this by nutting the mixture in the
milk a few times. Then the grain is
fed dry, after the skim milk. Feed
