bly, fat. He Is the calf which should
have the corn and should have the
fat-making foods.
He should be reared in just the op-
posite direction. as compared with the
heifer calf. It will not hurt the steer
calf even to have his drink or skim
milk when he is six or seven months
old, if there Is surplus but skim
milk cannot be utilized to as good
advantage as in the case Of the heifer.
The best skim milk calves are those
which are born in the fall of the year.
Their young life is spent in a more
favorable season. The milk they get
as a rule will be in better condition
than the milk which the spring calf
will GET
If you select dairy blood for your
herd, one Of the things which should
attract your attention when you make
your final decision is the vitality OF
the breed you select.
This shows up particularly strong
in the calf during the first few months
of his life. Dairy breeds, as you know,
are not all equal in vitality My ex-
perience in raising calves on skim
milk has been confined principally to
the rearing of Holstein calves.
l want to say in this connection in
our own herd calf never sucked
its mother and in this way, after ten
or twelve years of breeding, the suck
ing instinct was largely bred out of
the calves. These calves were easily
taught to drink.
Not all of the success of rearing
skim milk calves depends upon the
feed or upon the breed. Very much
indeed depends upon the care of the
calf, and feed without proper shell
ter will avail but little.
The calf must be made comfortable
In warm as we'll as cold weather. If
he is not failure will result. Let your
feeding arrangement be such that
each calf get his share.
Do not, as l have seen on many
farms, pour the milk into a tub or
4 trough and let the calf fight for
his share. There is no chance for
on this point. This is
not feding.
1t will be found advisable, summer
Or winter, to arrange that each calf
,an get his individual share of the
,ood, in a yard in the summer time,
or in pen in the winter.
If you have plenty of time it will
De found advisable to tie each calf
It each feeding. Tie around each
,alf's neck ring two inches in d. ,
ameter with a light rope.
Give each calf a place at a post and
staple to the post two feet above the
ground rope not more than eight
" ten inches long with a swivel snap
n the end.
Have these ropes far enough apart
o prevent the calves from reaching
ZACH other and you will have no trou-
lie from the calves sucking one an.
theirs noses or ears. Keep the calves
led until the milk is licked from their
hops and noses.
If the calves be of about equal size
hey may be turned loose to a trough
n which is the grain food.

Ground Plan Of Piqqery.

An unfinished stunted hog weighing
$50 pounds will dress about 65 per
cent. Bacon from such hogs sells at
wholesale for one-half that from fin
ished hogs. The bacon from the un.
finished, light hogs, when cooked, con-
sists of skin and fabby, soft meat, and
the consumer is dissatisfied.
The flesh on the live, unfinished
hog is soft and flabby to the touch,
and the hair has a dead appearance.
The meat from an rMthrifty hog is
always soft and that from thin hogs
is usually SOFT
Special attention should be paid to
housing the swine. Hogs are more
disturbed by wind than any other
farm animal and their shelter should
thoroughly protect them from wind
and from draughts.
The piggery shown here is a salts
factory building where a permanent
one is wanted. The partitions be-
tween the pens are movable in case
1t is desired to use the building for
fattening hogs. The doors leading to
the yards are raised from the central
alley by means of ropes and pulleys.
A shute across the ends of one set
Of yards makes 1t an easy matter to
dip hogs regularly. 1t is 6 feet u the
caves and 16 feet to the ridge above
the pens. Additions to this house
can be made when desired and the
building remain just as convenient.

REARING the Lamb.

If necessary to rear a lamb by
hand, New York state farmer says
he finds the lamb the best Judge of
amount of milk required and feeds
at first nearly all it will drink, which
is almost one-quarter of pint every
three hours, the last feed coming at
9 p. m. After the grass starts the
feeds are gradually reduced to one
half pint three times a day. The
milk fed in this way will yield larger
profit than If sold to the cheese fac.

COWS. The dairy COW has been bred
for the purpose of milking persistently
as well as largely throughout the year.
The common COW or the dual purpose
COW has not been bred or raised par
ticu!arly with this point in view, and
as consequence she dries up very
readily, oftentimes at the end of six
or eight months. The COW which is
profitable is the COW which milks
throughout the entire year. and the
most profitable methods OF caring for
and feeding the dairy COW are those
methods which induce her to milk
largely over this long period of time.

Shear the sheep before their wool
gets to be a burden.
Keep the sheep pens clean. Dirt
and foul odors affect sheep quickly.
Never feed the young pigs on the
ground, especially if it is dusty or
muddy.
No sheep has yet been developed
which excels in both mutton and wool
production.
Sheep must be grown rapidly while
young If they are expected to attain
a large size.
A horse that is afraid of the elec-
trio cars can never be taught what
they are by whipping.
Sell your wool on a rising market.
Nine times out of ten you will miss it
if you try to keep 1t for something
better.
If good lamb comes from a good
eve, save 1t for your own flock.
Don't let any butcher talk you into
selling 1t.
The boar pigs should be castrated
at two to eight weeks old, so they
will recover from the effects before
weaving time.
There is little money In poor sheep.
They will just about eat a man out
of house and home. Good ones or
none--that's the motto for us all.
Sufficient care is not exercised bv
many in weaving out the ewes that
breed irregularly, and because of this

crop Is reduced
