WINTER CARE FOR THE CALF
Where Youngsters are Raised on

by C. H ECKLES. Diryman, Missouy

The calf which is to be raised on
skimmilk should be taught to eat
grain early. When they have access
to 1t, many begin eating grain at two
weeks of age. The grain should be
placed in a box where they car easily

the milk is fed. IN no case should 1t

ONE TREATMENT FOR HEAVES
Disease Is Incurabe, but May Be
PaiIiated by Feeding Easily Di-
qested Nutritive Food.

CBy DIR. J. H. STANDIsH, Nova Scotia
Department of Agriculture.9
Repeated gorging OF the stomach
with food or water, and often BOTH
is the cause of heaves. The symp-
toms are deep breathing, evidenced
by the expanding nostriis and double
lifting of the tanks, both of which
are increased IL the animal is forced
up a grade at a fast trot or gaIiop
when the stomach is ,distended with
food or water; generally, also, a hack
ing cough, mostly In the morning.
The disease is fncurabie, but may
be palliated by feeding easily digested
nutritive food in small quantities Give
such food as early cut, we'll cured
clean timothy hay, preferably damp
ened with weak lime water, oats

winter roots, carrots. turnips, mangels
or sugar beets; the oats to be boiled
twice a week Give four drains of
ginger and two drains of baking soda
in the food at night, or oil of tar in
dessert spoonful doses. In some
cases, better results are secured by
alternating these daily or weekly, and
In some cases are benefited by four to
ten grain doses of white arsenic once
a day. But care in feeding and water

straw, if early cut and we'll cured, is
often preferable to hay In either

WHY THE MEAL WAS HALTED
Nothing Seriously Wrong, but Old Gen

the Elusive Onion.

An aged country couple, on the ur-

lived in the city, were on for visit.

that tb first meal should be one
which the aged couple would enjoy
after their long ride in the train, and
accordingly the table groaned under

BIG ASSISTANCE TO FARMER
Smart Buyers of Live Stock Make
Good Money OUtguessing Own
ers-Scaaes Prove Profitable.
CBy a HIRED MANI

Our boss says: No more guess
work for me" He has put in O. pair
of scales, having found out many
years too late that scales make
knowledge definite. Before I put in
the scales" says the boss, 4 did not
know anything for certain and sure.
Smart buyers of live stock count on
making good money just because they
are better guessers than farmers and
they are always anxious to buy on a
guess. You can bet your last dollar
that these fellows never view a farm
scale with friendly eye. A man feels
mighty cheap to learn that some slick
buyer has bought his hogs at guess
weights and sold them at advances
ranging from 25 to SO pounds per
head IN these days there is no rea-
sonable excuse for farmers to per
sist in selling their stock and crops
at a guessed weight. A set of farm
scales furnish facts that help to put
farming on a business basis.

oil meal was the best, but since corn
is high in starchy foods, and fats,
it fills the requirements just as well,
and is cheaper. Oats are also good.
An equal mixture of cornmeal and
whole or crushed oats can hardly be
improved upon for supplementing
skimmilk Cornmeal alone is as good
as any for the young calf, but after
two or three months it can eat shelled
corn just as well.
Calves will begin to nibble hay al
most as soon as they will eat grain.
for young calves timothy or mixed
hay is well adapted as cloyers and
alfalfa are laxative, and SO palatable
the animal often overeats and this
helps to produce scours. After three
or four months they should by all
means be fed some of the legume hays
talfalfa, clover or coWpea) on account
of the bone and growth producing ele-
rnents this class contains. An abun-
dance Of clean water should be given
at all times and salt after the animal
is old enough to eat grain and hay.

BOY OBEYED ORDERS GIVEN
Meant Well, But Information Was Not
Welcomed by Hotel Manager
just at That Time.

A certain New York hotel manager
is one of these nervous men who con-
stantly warn their employees against
keeping them in ignorance OF any
happening around the place. He hired
a new bell boy recently, and gave
him the usual warning:
Remember" he warned, If any
thing happens around here I'm to be
the first person to know about it.
Soon after that he was showing
three naughty Daughters of the Cou-
federacy one of the best rooms in the
place, when the new bell boy rushed
in with his hair on end.
Something's happened" he yelled.
The three Daughters of the Con-
federacy turned coldly, and the man
ager, anxious to get rid of the boy,
demanded to know the trouble.
THAT old cat down stairs said
the boy, has just had kittens. What
shall We do?"
The managers suggestion was
rough.
