expressions Of regret in official circles In
Albany. Before leaving here for Lake

Of tho death of your brother. Please &C

Lieutenant Governor Conway received a

Young calves need whole milk for
the first few days. The calf should
always have the first or colostrum
milk Of the COW and be allowed to
nurse the COW until the eighth or
ninth milking, when the milk is
suitable for human food. Feed often
with small amounts to avoid over
feeding. Teach the calf to drink and
feed whole milk for at least three
weeks, changing to skim milk diet
gradually.
The amount of milk fed should be
carefully regulated. A good plan
with the normal calf is to give four
pounds (two quarts) of whole milk
three times per day, fed sweet and at
blood temperature. In the state of
nature the calf gets milk containing
about three per cent. fat. Our domes-
ticated cows have been bred in some
instances to give nearly twice this
amount. Milk that is too rich may

ATTITUDE OF MEDICAL MEN
Use of Alcohol for Medicinal Purposes
Rapidly Diminisning-Does Not
Stimulate Heart.

DR.. Richard c. Cabot contributes the
following explanation as to the pres
ent day attitude of physicians towards
alcohol:
The use of alcohol as a medicine
is steadily and rapidly diminishing.
1t is true that the use of all drugs
has also fallen off considerably. but
this change is more striking as re-
CARDS alcohol. There are three main
purposes for which alcohol has been
used as medicine:
% As quick stimulant-for faint
ing, exhaustion, and extreme cold.
This service doctors now generally
agree is better performed by hot cof-
fee, hot tea or hot soup. The heat
is the main thing.
(2) AS support to the heart in
heart disease and in fevers. Here the
use of alcohol still continues. but it is
constantly and steadily diminishing,
because research has shown that it
does not stimulate bad or good heart
action, as was formerly supposed.
Some physicians believe that alcohol
helps the patient in his fight against
the germs, but the weight of opinion
is against this. By most physicians
alcohol is still occasionally used in
fevers and in diabetes for a purpose
still TO be mentioned
go AS food. Though alcohol is
undoubtedly a poison to the nervous
system this harmful effect is neutral
zed in some cases of illness by the
fact that it does supply fuel and en-
ergy TO the body. When other foods
are rejected (wholly or in part by
the stomach or when, as in diabetes.
certain common foods cease to bene-
ut the body, alcohol may be valuable,
but this is comparatively rare"
In a recent article in the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal DR.. Ca
bot contributed some interesting fig
ares showing the diminished use of
alcohol in the Massachusetts General
hospital. The figures. showing also

ion
In 1898 the hospital expended a
'otal for alcohol drinks of $2,322. or
&c cents per patient These figures
were increased the following year to
$4,000. or 81 cents per patient. Since
that time there has been a steady de-
crease, and in 1907 the total cost of
alcoholic stimulants used was but
$S13, or 10 cents per patient. Dur
ing the same period the cost Of other
medicines administered also de-
creased. not because of lessened
prices for drugs, but because fewer
medicines Of any sort are now admin
istered.

Euus and Exercise.

The hens to lay we'll in cold weather
must have plenty of exercise. If they
are to be confined, give them a deep
litter of straw to scratch in, and place
the grain feed in this straw so they
will scratch. Inactive hens will not
lay. 1t is a good plan on the farm to
allow the chickens the run of all the
barns and stables during the day. They
will do no damage at this time and
will secure a lot of feed that would
otherwise go to waste. In securing it
they will be compelled to exercise,
which will promote laying. Also, the
barn is dry, warm place for fowls
in winter, and dryness and warmth
are great factors in their health and
productiveness. They can easily be
shut out of the barn at night.

principal diet of the calf for eight
months or a year. Factory skim-milk
should always be pasteurized to avoid
the spread of tuberculosis. The best
skim-milk is that which is fresh from
the separator and still warm. Ex-
periments show that it is only one
fourth as expensive to raise a calf on
skim-milk as whole milk. Two
pounds of grain with the proper
amount Of skim-milk equals one
pound Of butter fat Buttermilk or
whey may profitably be fed to calves.
Grain for calves should be fed first
while the calf is quite small with a
to eat High priced concentrates are
unnecessary and give not better re-
suits than corn meal, oats and bran,
ground barley, etc, when fed in
proper combinations. At four to six
weeks a calf has good teeth and can
grind his own feed. A variety of
feeds is advantageous and best re-
suits will usually be secured from mig
lures.
The following list may serve as a
guide to the calf feeder in making
selections or combinations to suit his
conditions:
l. Corn meal gradually changed in
four to six weeks to shelled corn with
or without bran.
2. Whole oats and bran.
8. Whole oats and corn chop, the
latter gradually replaced by shelled
corn in four to six weeks.
4. Ground barley with bran or
shelled corn.
5. Shelled corn and ground Kafir
corn or sorghum.
6. Whole oats, ground barley and
bran.
Z. A mixture of 20 pounds of corn
meal, 20 pounds of oat meal, 20
pounds of oil meal, 10 pounds of blood
meal and pounds of bone meal,
changed to corn, oats and bran when
calves are three months old.
s. A mixture of 5 pounds whole
oats, pounds bran, l pound corn
meal and l pound of linseed meal.
The calf may be taught to eat
grain by rubbing a little on its mouth
when it is through drinking milk.
From this it will soon learn to eat
from the feed box.
The roughage for calves should
first be fed at two or three weeks Of
age when the calf begins to eat grain.
Good clean hay, either timothy, blue
grass, clover or alfalfa, may be used.
Corn silage is an excellent calf feed
when fed in moderate amounts. Good
pasture is an essential after four to
six months of age, ard if the calf is
| turned out for only a few hours each
day at first scours will be avoided.
