FEEDING CALVES
SUCCESSFULLY.

While most dairymen have their own
method of feeding calves, the expert
ence of others in this work is interest
ing, and quite often some valuable
points may be picked up. Here is
what a prominent Nebraska dairyman
has to say on the subject:
More mistakes are made in feeding
calves than any other live stock on the
farm. First of all, the stomach Of a
calf IS very sensitive to changes in the
temperature Of milk. For this reason
/ like to let the calf draw it's own feed
from the mother for three or four
days. After that | pour the milk into
a warm pail.
Two quarts Of milk, which is ample
for the average calf, will be reduced
to quite a low temperature if MIXED
and then poured into a cold pail in
winter; hence the feed pail as well as
the milk should be warm. Again the
warm milk should be fed as soon as it

who had attained the most gratifying
results from the use of this simple
but effective device.
Last year the 100000 miles of poor
roads in the United States cost vast
fortune to the farmers and Incidental
" another to the city men, the added
cost to the farmers of hauling farm
products over the well nigh 1mpaSsa-
BILE roads being in the end paid by the
men who consume them.
Statistics gathered from the leading
countries OF Europe prove that the
cost Of hauling over the American
roads is far higher than in any other
country, the average in France, Ger
many and England being II cents
ton mile last year to cost Of . cents
here. That difference Of 13 cents Is
the unnecessary tax burden the Amer
lean farmer is forced to bear because
state and county authorities have long
been blind to the benefits which would
follow an awakening TO road impOr-
lance.
AS the average length of the haul
of all American farm products is "a
miles, it will be seen that every ton
hauled cost the farmer who hauled 1t
S1.22 more than the hauling Of ton
of similar products would cost the
farmers of England, France or Ger
many. Last year nearly S6,0O0,0OO.-
100000 pounds of farm products were
hauled over the country roads. Re
duce that vast weight to tons, charge
it 81 % a ton, and it proves an annual
loss to the farmer of SO 100000.
And the saving of that sum would
be a trife of a fraction of the benefits
that would come from an immediate
construction of perfect roads, for it is
but a portion Of the weight annually
hauled over these roads, the statistics
Of the department Of commerce and
labor after liberal deductions placing
the quantity at approximately 20O,-
100000 tons. The saving In the han
ding Of that stupendous bulk would
be 1905, 100000 annually.
1t has been ascertained also that the
construction Of model highways In a
rural community brings an immediate
increase in the value of the property
which such roads traverse. There are
S4O,O00.000 acres Of farm lands in the
United States at the present time.
Statistics show that the improved
road increase in farm values is from
So to 50 an acre. Were all the acres to
benefit even the lowest amount the
gain would be $1,6SO,OO0,00O, which
might be saved In hauling, and the
total would be amply large enough to
gridiron the length and breadth Of the
continent with macadam roads as fine
as those which have given the fame
and wealth to France-the land of
perfect highways.

along stretches of impossible thor
oughfares which had as a basis the
sticky "gumbo" clay of the south,
burnt them to such purpose that the
clay was changed entirely in charac-
ter and then supervised the cOnstruc-
ton of a road that for hauling pur-
poses is little short of the splendid
macadam roads of the north and east.
ut depends entirely upon the char
acter of the country through which
the road passes" said Mr. Humphreys
when asked what it all cost. ''If it be
wooded SO that fuel can be bought
for, say, $1.25 Il cord, the road can be
made for $1,000 mile l may say
that it costs from one-half to one
fifth as much as macadam road
costs, and it is as easily and as cheap
ly maintained.
In country where the people
have never gone into the building of
good roads the thought Of paying
$1,000 mile seems prohibitive
Where the experiment is once made,
however, we all know that the people,
and especially the farmers, who usual
ly at first are most violently opposed
to the undertaking, demand that the
roads be constructed and are most
willing to bear the tax"
In explaining how easily the bur
den of taxation would be borne, even
If the authorities of his county de-
cided to eXpend a half million in the
construction of a perfect system of
high class roads. Mr.. Humphreys
said: "If the farmer, instead of haul
ing six bales of cotton with two
mules, as could be done with ease last
winter over the burnt clay road near
Greenville (the one built as a model
office, could haul but two, he would
be taxed for a bad road at a higher
rate than anybody was ever taxed
for a good road, not counting the wear
and tear on mules and wagons.
Il have seen seed cotton in the
pens in July which had been picked
after the rains had begun to fall in
the previous winter and which had
not been hauled to the railroad where
the gin was located because the roads
were too bad to travel Think Of the
tax that man was paying, and that
too, for a road he could not travelw

is drawn from the COW and not allow
ed to stand or it will get cold, and q
young calf must have warm milk or
it's stomach is likely to get out Of
order.
1t will depend largely on the calf as
to the length of time that it should
have whole milk. Ordinarily this is
from two to three weeks. The change
from new to skimmilk must not be
made too radical, but gradually. At
least a week should be consumed in
making the change. This is a critical
period in the life of a calf. 1t should
not be given any more slimmilk than
new milk, for it will not digest any
more, and if more be fed its stomach
is almost sure to be upset. AS the
change is made from new or whole
milk to skimmilk a few dry whole oats
with a little Oimeal should be given;
also little bright hay.
Where several calves occupy the
same box stall stanchiOns should be

The feed should be increased very
gradually. Better feed too little than
too much. There will be a time that
the calves will not seem to grow much

think that they are not getting enough

chances are that trouble will be the
result.
