Calf Managers.

A form of combined stanchion and
tnanger for calf feeding is illustrated
In bulletin published by the Michi-
gan Experiment Station and is recon-
mended as being very convenient. The
principle on which the stanchion Is
use dates back a number of decades,
but the especial application and ad-
justment of the one hereafter descr1b-
ed presents some new features This
result of three years trial, having un-
dergone several changes since the first
one was installed. This appliance can
be adjusted so as to accommodate the
of age. The calves are confined in the
stanchions at feeding time only. After
the calf has been secured the milk
bucket is placed in the manger; when
the milk is consumed the bucket Is
removed and ensilage and meal sup
piled, followed by hay By using this
stanchion method of feeding the maxi
mum number of calves can he kent in
a minimum amount of space in a
clean, healthy, thrifty condition, pro-
vtding they are given access to out
door yardage. The average size of
the four calf pens in the dairy barn,
Including manger space is Is feet three
Inches by IL feet three inches. Each
pen accommodates eight calves up to
five or six months of age. The average
size Of two pens in the grade herd
barn accommodating six calves each,
Is 8 feet 8 inches by IA feet 10 inches,
and three occupied by five each are
10h feet by II feet 9 inches. OF
course, in all cases except one the
calves have access to yardage at will.

tailed description, the bottom of the

have made the change seems to indi.

practically 2 feet high and 21a feet
above the floor; the slope given to
this part of the manger is a very de-
cided advantage, especially in placing
and removing buckets while the calf
is fastened in the stanchion; even
more slope than that indicated would
be well. The manger is partitioned
off every two feet; this should be the
minimum width, for while it Is ample
room for the young calves, even more
room would be desirable for the rough.

partitions extend upward as far as the
curved line shown in the illustration.
but this is the most faulty feature of
the fixture, as it is possible for one
calf to reach over and suck another

not promptly supplied after the milk

the calf the benefit of little moro
spread in throwing the head I'D to
remove it from the open stanchion.
The stanchions are made of well-sea-
soned 1-inch elm and no breaks have
occurred thus far. The youngest calves
do not require more than five inches
space for the neck when confined. The
stanchion frames are bored with a
number of holes so that the movable
upright pieces can be shifted accord
ing to the size of the calf. AS calves
approach the yearling stage and their
horns interfere with the working of
the stanchion the movable piece may
be removed and the animal allowed to
go free while feeding. This system
has given the utmost satisfaction, per-
mitting calves to be fed individually
according to their needs and entirely
| preventing the many bad habits so
frequently acquired by the pail fed

An Apple Tree Brought from En-
gland in 1923 Bears Fruit.
An aged apple tree stands on the
premises of Henry Coleman at Dover
Neck, in the historic locality Of the
first permanent settlement of New
Hampshire, says the Boston Globe.
Tradition says that the tree came
over from England In a washtub. II
is not known who brought 1t, nor in
precisely what year 1t arrived, but In
view Of the fact that 1t Is on land
originally owned by the Hilton family
there Is every reason to suppose that
1t voyaged with the first shipload Of
settlers. in the spring of 1923, when
according to the earliest record, "the
Hiltons set up their stages at Dover

mained for a time at the first land
ing, near the mouth of the Piscataqua
river.
The old tree is called the Millet
apple tree, because Captain Thomas
Millet, a noted sea captain. whose
grandparents settled in Dorchester
Mass, in 1895, went to Dover with his
young wife in 1921 and settled on the
acres at Dover Neck, where the tree
stood. For many years he was the

The trunk is about four feet in di.

that anyone can walk into the she'll,

seven feet tall, and Is surmounted by
one large branch, which has been
sawed off fifteen feet from the ground
From this main branch the smaller

1t Is better to sow rutabaga turnips

The best cows are the ones that the
careful dairyman raises for himself.
Rotation must be practiced in the
garden or truck field to obtain the
best results.
Black Winter or Spanish radishes
should be sown in August or Septem-

play the mischief with crop.
For best results in the VINEYARD
plenty of water is necessary. During
