The Importance of successfully rear.
ing heifer calves on Indiana dairy
farms increases each year. Owing 10
a constantly growing interest In milk
production. IL is becoming difficult 10
purchase good dairy cows. II has been
repeatedly demonstrated that for ;he
average dairyman the best means OF
maintaining and improving the dairy
herd is the use OF a good dairy bull,
and the raising Of the best heller
calves selected from the most produc-
tive COWS. The objection usually Of
fered by the dairyman 10 this method
Is that good calves cannot be raised
by hand. and that whole milk is TOO
valuable 10 allow them TO be raised
on the COW.
IL is well TO keep in mind that the
treatment the calf receives must nee
essarily have an influence upon her
future usefulness. but It has been
proven that good heifers may be
reared without the use Of whole milk.
Where only butter and cream are sold
from the dairy. the problem or rear
ing the calf is indeed 4 very simple
enc. because as good calves may be
grown on skim milk as on whole milk
When we consider that only the fat
has been removed from the milk in
skimming and that it forms only a
small per cent Of the food value OF
the milk. we can readily realize that
this alone is not the cause Of the poor
results frequently obtained with hand
fed calves The following table shows
the average composition Of skim milk
and whole milk.

Taking Calf From the Mother.
The best time to remove the young

depend upon the condition of the COW.

might prove beneficial TO allow the
calf TO remain with the mother three
or four days. The sooner the calf is

will be experienced in teaching il 10

CANADA'S CENSUS

~ millions as compared with 5.31l,-
3l5 In 1901. Though these figures are
large. they do not present a total as
large as was expected but they do
show 4 greater increase OF percentage
in population for the decade than any
similar increase in the United States.
The highest percentage ever reached
by the Republic was 2iec: the per-
centage OF increase in Canada for the
decade is 1920. Thus II viii be seen
that the provinces west OF the lakes.
with the great broad fertile acres
ready for the sowing and immediate
reaping OF grain and the Valleys or
British Columbia capable OF producing
fruit with which TO supply its neigh
boring provinces east of the noun
tains, have attracted numbers. which
has exceeded the most optimistic or
the expectations OF ten years ago.
Upon the prairies OF the ten years

or six times as many more. The pop
ulation of Alberta is set down at 372,-
91s. as compared with 1902 in 1901:
Saskatchewan 453.50S as compared
with 1870 in 1901; Manitobas 454.-
69l compares well with its 255,2l1 in
1901; and so does that of British Co
lumbia-362, 76S as against 1869 in
1901; but in a territory as large IS
this a population of 1.643,0 900 is little
more than discernible in point of num-
bers. The work through IL has been
great. Look at the towns that have
been built up; its cities. Winnipeg
with 135. 600; Vancouver with upwards
OF 100000; Calgary with $4,000; Ed
monton. Regina, Saskatoon; Leth-
bridge: Medicine Hat, Moosejaw,
splendid cities-none better any,
where; well maintained and equipped.
These have come with existence and
been built as they have been built by
reason of the splendid agricultural
country by which they are surround
ed. The population is scarcely dis
cernible. A population ten or twelve
times that shown by the recent
census could be easily maintained in
even greater wealth than that which
maintains the present numbers. There
is certainly a wonderful future for
Western Canada and that which goes
10 the development Of the west will
enrich the last. This is the growing
time in Canada and what has been
done in the past ten years is but a
beginning. The next decade will
show a far greater advancement. In
the meantime Canada is bidding well
come the progressive and Industrious
citizen. The invitation is a standing
one. At the forthcoming land exposi-
ton in Chicago. Canada will have one
OF the best exhibits of farm products
that has ever been made and 1t will
be well worth while inspecting IL and
getting information from those who
may be in charge.
