Raising the Calf on Skim MILK.

There was a time when the typical
Missouri farmer laughed at the idea of
raising calves in any other than the nat
ural way. However recently the high
price of land has made it impossible for
any profit to be made raising calves in
the good old way. Farmers who have
figured carefully ON this proposition have
concluded that when land gets above $50
dollars an acre it econes impossible to
keep a COW for the chance Of a calf. Ten
years ago there were but few farmers
paying any attention to the sale of milk
and cream. Now there are fully 70, 900
in Missouri hat are counting on this as
a part of their income. These farmers
are mostly selling cream for buttermak.
ing purposes, and raising the calf by
hand. There wa a time when it was
thought that a calf raised On skim milk
must necessarily be stunted in size. IN
thrifty in appearance and II that a
respectable farmer would not wish to
have OH his place. 1t is well understood
now by most farmers that are selling
cream that such calves are entirely un-
necessary and in fact are not caused by
feeding of skim milk. but from careless
and ignorance regarding proper methods
OF feeding.
The man who proposes to raise calves
on skim milk must, first of all, get the
idea out of his mind that such calves are
necessarily unthrifty. He must not he
satisfied with his work until he is able TO
raise a calf in this manner that is good
as one raised by its mother. The feed
, ing Of the calf by hand should begin
at least within three days after its birth.
Some prefer to take the calf away from
its mother before i, has nursed and begin
feeding by hand at once Others prefer
to leave the calf with the cow from two
to four days. They should not be ALLOW.
ed to sun longer than that on account OF
the fact tina, the older the calf is, the

While the state has been spending
this snail fortune for the maintenance
of a law-making body, one lone bill
has become a law.
There has been much complaint
over the methods Of the present gem
eral assembly. 1t is charged that no
legislative body in the states history
has been SO long a time in doing SO
little. With a rule that bills must be
reported out of committee inside Of
ten days, committee members show
fragrant disregard of instructions and
some measures have been hung up in
committee for the last six weeks

The time limit for the introduction of

1,126 bills introduced in the house

While governor Iiadlcy has all along
opposed the extra session of the legis-

one will have to be called. A majority
Of the house and senate are for the
extra session, which will not be held,
in any event. until next fall. and the
members have agreed to hold back
rtvcnue measures SO that IIadlcy will
be forced to action. He may not
Ike it, but a governor cannot run the
