Feeding Dairy Calves Probably.

Young calves need whole milk for
the first few days. The calf should
always have the first or colostrum
milk of the COW, and be allowed to
nurse the cow until the eighth Or
ninth milking, when the milk is suit
able for human food. Feed often with
small amounts to avoid overlooking.
Teach the calf to drink and feed
whole milk for at least three weeks,
changing to skim milk gradually.

promised investigation Of the horrible
wreck on the Southern just before
Christmas. Let the responsibility be
fixed and negligence be punished.
When the rotten tie wreck shocked
the people on Walnut creek, near Raj
eigh some years 60, noth1ng was
done. The authorities were sound
asleep. and, when h railroad paid
the damages, nothing more was heard
of it. If there had been vigorous
prosecution then, it is possible the
Brown Summit horror would nave
been averted. Public officials are pald
for such service as this and should
act. Punishment for rotten ties should
