According to Professors Fraser ant
Brand in Bulletin 1874 recently issued BY
the Illinois Experiment Station, expert
enced dairy mep say that the heifert
they raise from their best cows produce
as much during their first lactation Pc
riod as do the average mature COWS they
can buy.
The problem Of calf raising where the
whole milk is sold to the market or to
the coudenseries has been such that the
farmers in these districts have depended
almost wholly on buying mature cows to
keep up their dairies. The result OF
such methods is not at all satisfactory
All improvement is at standstill and
| the troubles due to disease are greatly
| increased.
In order to get authentic data on this
question, Professors Fraser and Brand
conducted a series of experiments to de-
termine the cost and methods necessary
TO raise calves on these milk farms.
Three tests were made including rs
calves in all. The calves were allowed
to run with their dams during the first
"A hours. During the first four days
they were fed their mothers milk.
With the beginning of the fifth day they
were fed whole milk and skimmilk, some
calves getting much greater proper
ion OF skimmilk than others. After
the first few days the whole milk was
gradually decreased until by the 2lst to
2Sth day the calves were getting only
skimmilk.
The report says that since the expert
ment was To determine how economic cal
calf can be raised, and since skimmilk
is the cheaper, some Of the calves were
given only a small amount of whole
milk. The result in these cases was
deranged digestion. This work demon
sirsled 10 very striking manDer That
the most important thing in raising
calves is to give them good start. Dur
ing the first two weeks Of their lives they
must be fed reasonable amount OF milk
containing about 3 percent fat. After
this they can be gradually changed to
skimmllk. UP to eight weeks OF age
they must receive practically all OF their
nuurishment in the form Of milk.
The aut thors do no. try to draw any
definite aud final conclusion as to the
amount of milk required to raise cali.
In the second test there was used l37 TO
l67 pounds Of whole milk and 37S to 49l
pounds of skimmilk. The average cost
in this test, rating skimmilk at rs cents
per hundred and whole milk 81 50 per
hundred at the farm, was $3.50 per calf
for milk. These calves had grain and
hay but as the test was TO determine
the cost of milk, the limiting factor, an
individual record Of the grain and hay
was not kept.
The bulletin clearly shows not only
the possibility of the milk farmers rails
ing their own calves but how utterly
foolish they are If they do not do so.

Working the Bull.

Farmers do not generally begin t
realize the amount of power there II

have here at the Elm Hill Farm regis
tered son of the great Colsntha Jobanus
Lad that we broke when he was three
years old (he is five nOw), and he is a!
useful as any horse we have. He welgh'
little better than 1,700 pounds in work
ing order. We plow with him, barrow
furrow out, cultivate, run the weeder
horse rake and tedder. On the horse
fork he ia a wonder. We have never
been able to put load on the fork ye
that would puzzle him in the least, ano
that is more than l can say for th'
horses. In hard going We put him In the
lead of pair of horses on the manure
sprsader, and the combination makes
pretty rugged team. We make frequent
trips to town with him, with wood, pro-
duce, etc. We have drawn one cord Of
hard wood at load frOm here to Milford
five miles, and the bull came home fresh
as a daisy. For any work around the
place that requires only one horse we
use the bull, as he is just as handy aDG
much stronger.
We have a registered Percheron stal
lion that we frequently bitch at the side
of the bull to plow, and they make az
good plow team as a man could ask
for. The bull was dehOrned when he
was year and a half old. He can bs
driven with reins, but we use a whiI
mostly, and drive as you would an OK
For harness we turn a collar and hamet
upside down.
We have a herd of grade cows whicl
We breed to this bull and raise all the
heifer calves. He has sired some gooC
ones. About seventy percent OF BIZ
calves are heifers. Before this bull was
broken he was slow at service, but now
at five years he is as quick and vigorous
as yearling, and sure getter. He has
never shown any signs of being cross.
and a twelve. year-old boy can drive hiu
anywhere. We are going to buy an OF
to work with him.
If farmers who make a practise oi
keeping bull would only buy pure
bred one aud break him to work, ther
keep him until he is seven or eight years
or older, and raise all the best heifei
calves, they would find 1t very profita
BILE investment. A bull, worked either
as a stag or with an OK for a mate, viii
do nearly as much work on farm as
pair of horses, and the cost of keep IL
much less. And his majesty is much
better off working than "eating his heac
OF" in the barn.
The time has come when We mus,
raise more heifer calves; and any farmel
who is little bit wise will not raise ont
.rom a scrub bull. Let the farmers oi
New England wake up, buy pure bred
sire and in few years they will hav'
cows to sell instead Of putting a grea
part of their profits into buying new
cows to replace worn,out ones. Last
but not least, teach the bull to earn BIZ

Herd IMPROVEMENT,

Everyone is told that the matter OF
close cull,ng out of the poorer cows ID
an important step in improvement
This is all true But more powerful
step is the quality Of the sire. Weak
in. fficieut COWS are bad enough, bu, a
weak blooded sire is the worst OF all
A poor COW will produce better heifel
than she is If BIT ed to strong prepoten
sire. But the tide goes the other way
when you breed good COW to veal

up the quality of your herdis to secure
sire that has quality enough In him II
