FROM THE CALF TO THE cow
First Few Months Care Will Largely
Determine What the Grown Ami
nal viii Ultimately Be-

In order to make good dairy COW
I've must start with the calf of some
good dairy type. The care that the
calf or any farm animal for that mat
ter gets for the first few months will
largely determine the quality of the
adult animal. Giving the calf a good,
strong, healthy start is one of the
prime essentials of success in grow
ing it.
The calf need not be kept rolling
fat, but it should be kept thriftily
growing from start to finish.
Except for beef production with the
beef type, it is best to raise the calf
by hand method. When it is a day or
two old take it away from it's dam and
teach it to drink milk.
For the first feed take some warm
milk fresh from the cow ana place
some with the hand on the calf's
mouth. 1t will lick this with it's
tongue and of course find that it is
good. Then place the pail up to its
mouth so that the warm milk will
touch its lips.
Be patient for the first time. 1t will
require several minutes and possibly
nearly an hour, but when once it
learns what is In the pail and how to
take the food there will be no further
trouble in urging it to eat.
It may be necessary the first few
times for you to wet two fingers with
milk and allow the calf to suck up the
milk with the hand partly immersed
in the liquid.
Feed whole milk warm from the
cow about two weeks and then gradu-
ally substitute skimmilk for the whole
till at the end of the fourth week
nothing but skimmilk is given.
Always warm the milk, as it is most
natural for the young animal and de-
mands less energy from the digestive
organs.
After the third month the calf will
begin to want extra water, and some
may be mixed with the milk.
The calf at this age should be al
lowed access to drinking water every
day. At the end of four months milk
may be withheld and other feeds sub
stituted, as the calf will then begin
to nibble on hay and other feeds.
From this stage on place some fine
well cured and preserved hay where
it can reach it. When it is six weeks
old give it a handful of shelled corn,
or place corn meal in the milk feed.

MENTAL ACCURACY
Greatly Improved by Leaving OFF Coffee

The manas er of an extensive cream
cry in Wis. states that while a regu-
lar coffee drinker, he found it injuri-
Gus to his health and a hindrance to
the performance Of his business du-
ties.
1t impaired my digestion, gave me
distressing sense of fullness in the
region of the stomach, causing a most
painful and disquieting palpitation of
the heart, and what is worse. it mud
died my mental faculties so as to seri-
ously iniure my business efficiency.
II finally concluded that something
would have to be done quit the use
Of coffee, short off, and began to drink
Postum. The cook didn't make it
right at first. She didn't boil it long
enough, and did not find it palatable
and quit using it and went back to cot
fee and to the stomach trouble again.
Then my wife took the matter in
hand, and by following the directions
on the box, faithfully, she had me
drinking Postum for several days be
for I knew 1t.

PASTIME NOT FOR PREACHERS
ST. Louis Ministerial Alliance Reach
Decision Baseball Is Not Proper
Game for Them.

st. Louis,-It is undignifed for min
listers as a body to challenge lawyers
to a baseball game.
This was the decision Of the ST.
Louis Ministerial alliance at its
monthly meeting in the Y. NJ. C. A.
building recently.
Dr.. Homer R. Henderson, pastor Of
the Wagner Place PRESBYTERIAN
church, started the debate by Offering
a resolution that the ministers organ
ize a ball team and defy the lawyers
TO beat them swinging the bat and run
ming bases.
It was DR.. Henderson's suggestion
that the formal challenge be made by
the alliance and presented to the St.
Louis Bar association, the game to be
played for the benefit of the Post Dis
patch Pure Milk and Free Ice fund.
The Rev. W. Writ King spoke in op-
position to the resolution
while there is nothing inherently
wrong in the game Of baseball" he
said, I do not think it would be digni-
fed for the Ministerial alliance to is
sue such challenge. It might lower
our organization in the estimation of
that very dignified body, the Bar as
ISOLATION"
The Rev. T. F. Hagerty said that
he would support the resolution on
one condition.
Il believe in asking the Lord for
what we want" he said. For that
reason must insist that the game
be opened with prayer"
While the alliance voted down the
proposition to issue the challenge it
did not forbid the members to organize
a team and issue a challenge on their
own account.

tention. 1t was months before she
was able to use the typewriter with
any degree Of speed and accuracy, but
she is now able to write in manner

hands
"Typewriting was very hard at

with all the training in the world one

at first was that I would strike two
keys at once. but finally managed to
overcome this fault
Her method Of using a typewriter
is very peculiar. She sets it on the
floor in front Of her and takes a chair
a little above the ordinary height, so
that her feet reach the keyboard east

When she wants to play the piano, on
which she is able to play few simple
melodies, she has to use a stepladder.

Success With Dairyino.

If we are to be successful dairymen
we must have a love for our work and
the animals we are working with.
The lack Of love for a cow and lack
of appreciation of what she is doing
for US is noticed in the size of the
cream check.
Ever notice how the dairy business
booms when the owner is interested
in his work. There is too much lack
Of interest among dairymen.

The Milk Cow.

The nervous temperament of the
milk COW is much more highly de-
veloped than that of any other farm
animal If the COW has a bright,
placid eye, and a clean-cut, lean ap-
pearance, indicating that her food is
converted to milk rather than beef,
we may conclude that she is a good
producer. If the eye be dull and the
body covered with flesh the animal
as a rule is lazy, and is nc adapted
to the active life which a profitable
milk COW must lead
