It is perhaps not generally known
that one of the most important
properties Of metals employed in
striking coins and medals and
stamping articles Of jewelry is that
of flowing under pressure. Standard
silver is remarkable for this prop
erty. The flow takes place when
the metal is subjected to rolling,
stamping or hammering, and the
particles Of metal are thus carried
into the sunken parts Of The die
without fracturing, and a perfect
impression is produced.

to two per day with the amount Of
milk increased as the calf shows abil-
ity to handle it. After three weeks
the calf will begin to eat a little grain.
An excellent grain mixture for calves
is made of corr meal, oats and wheat
bran in equal parts, with a little lin
seed meal added.
To grow calves we'll they should
have just what they will clean up
readily at each feed. Plenty Of green
grass is good for them, but in very
hot or very cold weather a fine quality
of clover hay will produce excellent
results.
Calves should have milk until they
r five or six months old, for best re-
suits. If they are forced to subsist on
coarse feeds and grain too young they
will be stunted, as their digestive
system is not developed enough to
handle such food exclusively at an
early age.
Cotton seed meal should never be
fed to calves under twelve months OF
age. 1t always proves detrimental to
development of the young calf. This
being true, 1t is better to feed such
feeds as oats, bran and corn, which
are known to be satisfactory. To Sc
