ducing height, width and depth of
body growth.
The calf that received the starva-
ton ration became mighty in the
region of the paunch and came to a
stand still and reused to grow. The
calf that received a maintenance ra-
ton grew quite well in height but
failed to develop in the region of the
heart girth or width at the hooks,
and grew away from the ground, be
coming, in the language of animal
h%usbandry, long legged, slab sided,
cat-hammed and a very poorly de-
veloped spring of rib. While calf No.
3 grew into a nice, blocky, beefy,
sappy, youngster, weighing around
eight hundred pounds at twelve
months of age.
There are two fundamental factors
that enter into the making of a good
farm animal, viz: blood and plenty
OF good judiciously given feed. We
do not advise pampering, no indeed,
but we must maintain as thrifty a
growth as is possible.
To start into the winter with a nice
calf and feed and manage that calf
so that it will weigh very little, If
any more, than at weaving time, is,
In my judgment, false economy. Starv.
a young animal is a practice very
much in keeping with that Of a heavy
money lender. He said. he always
took his notes up about the Goth OF

cow and the calf should be as i'm
passable as the gulf between Dives
and Lazaras. The calves should be
provided with plenty of sweet hay and
a box of salt where they can go and
help themselves and all the water
they can dIink. After the cows and
calves have INDUCED in the usual
bawling spree the COWS should be mov-
ed out of hearing of the calves. Leave
the calves in the carroll for a period
of about ten days and by all means
don't forget the all Importance of hav-
ing plenty of water and salt for the
calves at this time for they are fever
ish from much bawling and worry.
Now, tho calf having forgotten his
mother, he is ready to be turned out
into a pasture with three or four
gentle cows that will stay close about
the premises. Now, every night for a
week or ten days round up these rug
ged youngsters and bring them into
the corral where they can have &C
cess to refreshments of the first quail
ity in great abundance. The calves
should be given from this time on the
very best treatment possible, having
in mind their protection from biz
yards and storms and the ravages of
wolves.
Now, when it m to handling the
weaned calf under average farm con.
ditions l am able to speak from years
of actual experience. There are three
kinds of calves to be weaned. The
calf that has been raised on skim
milk, the calf that has been given
part of the milk twice a day and the
calf that has been allowed to run
with it's dam.
The skim milk calf at the age of
six to seven months has been taught
to eat and not having to look to it's
mother or any particular COW for food
has only to be weaned from the pail
or trough. While the whole milk calf
that has been allowed to take its milk
direct from the COW twice a day, or at
pleasure, will, if not properly handled,
bawl and worry at the expense Of the
flesh it has accumulated and which it
will need so very much in bringing it
through the winter.
All of these calves should be taught
to eat some time before the milk is
taken away so that their growth will
not be checked or impaired. Here
let me say is the critical time in the
life of the calf. Here 1t is that time
nor feed must not be spared in start
ing the calf on the road to a profitable
revenue producer. This is the time
in the calls life when 1t should be fed
bone and muscle making food in liber-
al quantities, with the emphasis on
the word liberal.
Just at this juncture of the discus
sion. permit me to cite a case in point
that will illustrate the influence Of
feed on any young animal. At our
Missouri experiment station We fed
three calves in such a way as to de-
termine the result of proper and i'm
proper feeding Of calves. Calf No. /
was fed a starvation ration. Calf No.
2 was given a maintenance ration,
while calf No. 8 was given a ration
that caused 1t to thrive and grow like
a bay tree planted at the waters edge.
During the feeding period the calves
were measured from time to time in
such a way 30 "a to ascertain the
effects Of the different rations In pro-

we discussed the occurrence the less
susceptible 1t seemed of explanation.
And what is so terrifying as the in
applicable, or so dreadful as the in

enemy of calm and cunning malignity,
who chose to manifest his power in a
manner almost ludicrously puerile-
ger to some dire and inevitable sequel
yet with such crafty secrecy as CON-

away in a closet Of the hall behind an
array of raincoats. The cutting had
been done, evidently, with an exceed
lngly keen blade, and very dexterous-
ly done. But that it should have been
accomplished in twelve minutes, while
Cameron sat in the room, not fifteen
feet distant, was beyond our eompre-
tension. Absorption in his book was
the nearest We came to a solution, and
that was scarcely tenable. For there
was the crowded top of the book

dal must either have stood upon that
or have reared ladder. There was
not room for the foot of child on the
shelf-top; and as for the ladder. it was
unthinkable. How could a ladder have
been carried in and out without Cam
