Weigh and Test the Milk

Is born until cowhood and these mis-
takes undoubtedly account largely for
the fact that we have as many poor
COWS as we do. 1t matters little how
well bred a calf is at time OF birth. un-
less 1t is raised and cared for prop
erly it will very likely Be a disappoint-
ment when the tine comes that 1t
should produce largely. When the
heifer calf that is to be saved is
born, 1t should remain the first two
or three days with its mother or un-
til such time az the Inflammation has
left the udder Of the dam. This Is
for two reasons: In the first place,
the -calf-is not exceedingly .strongsand
It, would gain strength much, more
quickly whereof is :atlowedsto remain
with the mother and under her care
than. where>it is .subjsctedsto the care
OF the. feeder at once and taught to
drink milk from a pail. In the second
place. common dairy cows. usually
have a considerable amount Of infam-
nation IN the udder at freshening
time and there 10 no way in which
this Inflammation may be relieved so
quickly or efficiently as BY the process
of nursing which the calf only knows.
When the youngster Is taken from
its mother it will not drink milk for
the first u or is hours as a rule. and
It is better to allow 1t to become

often and many times during the day.
In this way 1t receives only a small
amount at a time and the liability of
sickenirg is much less. Calves will
do much better where they are fed
at least three times a day. of course,
in order to do this the COW must be.
milked that many times. In dairy dis
tricts dairy cows have been bred up
TO the point where it is absolutely
necessary to milk them when fresh
three times a day because OF the large
amount Of milk which they produce.
Feeding of Skin, Milk.
In this way by the time the calf is
40 Gays old he is taking all skinned
milk and his ration is very inexpens-
i've. At the time when the skinned
milk begins to be added TO the ra-
ton, calf scours and collie are very
liable to occur. To eliminate this
danger 1t is advisable to feed blood
flour with the milk. There are. two
advantages in feeding this -four. The
first which has been suggested is to
eliminate the danger Of scours and 1t
Is doubtful whether or rot there is
anything that is more efficient for this
purpose. In the second place. the
blood -four adds a great deal Of pro-
tein and bone phosphate which is uttl-
lied for the purpose of growing bone
and muscle and giving size to the calf.

counties in England. The Cornish
family of Langfords descend from

the estate Of Langford. in the parish
Of Markham Church. The Langfords OF

ords. His name is given in the tax
roll of Plymouth colony, and his tax
was 9sh. 3D.; date. January 3, 1882.
The name has never been a common
one IN New England.
John Langford was q resident OF
Salem, Mass, or was helping to found
the town in 1645, when he was a free
man. Thomas Langford. a resident
of Rhode Island about 1910. may have
been a descendant Of Richard or

wife became possessedeof estates IN
Kent.
In Virginia and North and South
Carolina, the Gilberts have lived prob
ably since the founding of those
states, and among the marriage con.
nections are the Lcwises. Taylors and
Hickmans. Of Virginia. all of whom
have war records. The Dalengers Of

In New York state, where a town Is
nared for the founder OF the family
there-Abijah Gilbert. who was born
in England, and crossed the sea about
17S7. He purchased land, and is

Many places bear the name of the
family; there is Gilberts peak of the
Rocky mountains, and Gilbert is

In the foregoing articles the writer
has discussed the feeding. breeding
and testing OF the dairy. When a
herd Of cows is given the proper care
and feed during a years time, each
COW in the herd has had an oppor-
tunity to produce largely and profit
ably. AS q matter Of fact. however,
there are few herds In the United
States today w rdividual of which
is q p%roht-prod, animal and as
has before been stated the only meth

mails II is that is lacking in butter
making ability Is to weigh and test

year This having been done. 1t is
only a course ri time until the dairy
farmer IS well acquainted with each
frdtzifual COW and.it Is time how for.
him to be disrosing Of the inferior
cows and taking better care OF the
good cows and replacing the poor
cows with those that have merit.
Only Pure-Rred Sires Should Be Used.
As has been pointed out before. the
calf may have q good sire and a good
mother but still. owing 20 the fact that
some place back In his pedigree three
20 ave generations there may be a
very poor individual whose character

which Is always the rictes- In Hol-
land the calves as Don 80 born are
placed in very narrow stalls where
they cannot turn around although
they eau lie and stand comfortably.
Three times a day the calves are given
all the milk they a drink During
the period OF eight to ten weeks OF
fattening. these calves drink on an
average OF about thirty-four pounds
Of milk q day. but where fed so large

calves are kept in q warm. dry barn
in stalls that are well bedded and kept

for veal calves will do better and
produce a letter quality Of veal where
they are confined in darkened guar
toss rather than permitting them TO
be fed in a tight place. In this coun-
Try, however. It Is doubtful II the
Tina has been reached when the
butcher will appreciate the difference
between extra good veal and veal OF a
medium class to such a great extent
that be will pay tae difference In
price. and It is doubtful II the Amer
lean feeder a afford to feed calves
IN this manner.
Feeding Calves.
More care must be used in feeding
the calves that are to become the fu-

takes are made from the time the alt

his sire and dam, 1t Is always better
to at grade rpale calves for veal and
sell them to the butcher as soon as
possible. Furthermore, IS a rule the
greatest profit to be gained from
calves of such breeding IS at this
time. There are many systems OF
feeding calves for veal which will re
suit In a profit To demand. the
ilargest.price. the calves should be fat
and in good condition. The hest
grade OF veal is produced from tie
feeding Of whole milk nursed direct
from the COW, but because the calf
should be four weeks Old before being
veaied. It ais rather an expensive
process to permit 1t to nurse for four
weeks, time. 1t is possible to feed
them other foods rather than whole
milk but to the experienced buyer OF
veal. unless care is taken In the feed
Ing. the ccarier feed will be detected.
The feeder should watch the calf and
sell 1t as scon as the white Of the eye
begins to take on a yellow tint. The
color Of the white Of the eye is ;ndl-
cative OF the character of the veal.
Making Veal.
II Scotland and Holland where the
making Of veal is carried en- for profit
largely, they have systems OF feeding
characteristic Of the COWS. In Scot
Hand the younger calves are permitted
to nurse the first milk from the COW,
taking as much as they care for; the
older calves are given that which re-

own free will rather than to Try to
force it to learn to drink when 1t is
not hungry. Oftentimes one becomes
fearful that the calf will de because
it will rot take Iourishnent from the

this age can get along we'll without
milk for "a hours, and by that time;
.they are aIwayssYHling to take, milk
from the Fail with a little coaxing.
For the first two weeks especially Of
the Calls life 1t should receive warm,

mind that young calves should never

Warm MIX Essential.
During the first two weeks there
should be, nothing added but the milk
given warm direct from the mother.
During this time care should be taken
not to overfeed the calf. A good rule
to follow is to feed fire rounds OF

Opinions.

Opinions are OF various sorts. Per.
isonal opinions and opinions of per.
sons, for instance. are different things.
Many people form an opinion on first
impression. An Impression is a touch
of human4nature If an attempt at a
touch fails thenzthe opinion changes.
Many people are always airing their
opinions. Inssome cases this fresh air
fad is carried too far. Some opinions
are all the better for q little airing,
but others should be quietly srioth-
|ered.
Opinions on prize fights are some
times backed with money. Money has
no opinion of its own. IT. is said to
talk. But then lots of people who
think they have opinions talk entirely
too much and aren't worth a cent.
Some men have fixed opinions. Oc-
casionally the grand jury becomes in
Quisitiye and wants to know how the
opinions we're fixed.
1t is difficult to form a decided opin'
ion about opinions.

Tho Gilberts must be cortelt with
the limited orthograph. Gilbert Is
perhaps the only variation at the pres.
emit day: Gilibart was an ancient
form, also Gilburd, Gyl5ert, Ghilberd
and Gildebert.
The name. according to scne au.
ttorities, IS an Anglo-saxon deriva-
ton, from gid or gold. and bert neal
ing byight-bright as gold. There IS
q mineral. bright as gold. called gil
berthe.
Another theory advanced has to do
with a Norman derivation, and ac-
cording TO this. the family Of Gilbert
was introduced into Great Britain
along with the Norman conquest, as
gislebertus: gisle Is another form OF
gill, or Chill, a word meaning a Tarrow
