THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

Listen, daughter! Once there was
a nice girl-just like you-who was
quite sure that when her time came
to marry she could not live in house
any smaller than her fathers. Love
in cottage" was not for her. She felt
sure that she must have an immense
library, with fireplace big enough to
take in a six-foot log; that there must
be drawing-room with parquetry floor
ing and thick Persian rugs sliding
about on it. The dining-room must be
large enough to serve twenty COM
fortably.
A school friend of hers came to visit
her about a year and half after she
was married and found her living in a
neat little frame house on side street,
ridiculously happy with her husband
and baby. There wasn't any drawing
room and the largest room was about
the size of the vestibule in her girl
hood home. T know what you're think
ing" laughed the happy little bride to
lher guest. you're wondering how |
could make up my mind to live in this
tiny piano box. But I've made a dis.
covery. I've found that it isn't the
size of the house that matters, it's the
size of the heart and the biggest hearts
can live in little houses"

| ter, and the baby was you. So when

slNcEING THE HAIR.

(Journal of American Medical Assn }
Singeing the hair is recommended to
overcome splitting at the ends and to
prevent falling of the hair, the reason
for the latter being that 1t "closes the
pores and keeps the fluid in the hair. "
With the long hair Of woman which
has a tendency to split at the ends, 1t
Is possible that singeing the tips may
be of some use;it substitutes a charred
blunt end of fused horn for one taper
ing to point or cut clean across. But
even in cases of this sort it is less use
full than greasing lightly the hair and
thus supplying the fat which is lacking
| in such hair. For the hair of men,
which is kept short, singeing is not of
any use in preventing splitting; hair
which is not allowed to grow to it's
natural length does not split, unless
lit has a deep-seated disturbance for
which there is no such simple remedy.

creasing the time each day, until they
become accustomed to handling the
green feed by an increasing daily al.
lowance of soiling crops. Sudden
changes in feeding should be avoided.
The calf is best taught to drink milk
from the pail by using the fingers.
Hand-reared calves should be confined
at feeding time in simple stanchions,
to remain for time after the milk Is
drunk, in order to consume their grain
allowance and pass the desire to suck
each others ears. 1t is important to
have fresh supply IF suitable dry
concentrates, preferably whole grain,
in the feed-box at this particular time.
Dry feed when eaten takes up the
saliva then flowing freely in the mouth,
stimulated by the warm milk. Where
the calf is slow to take such feed, the
grain or meal should be slipped into
the mouth a few times In order that
| it may learn to taste of it. All excess
grain should be removed from the feed.
box after each meal, since it grows
stale and moulds.
When skim-milk calves do poorly,
the blame usually rests with the feed.
er, The cause of the trouble will
Ordinarily be found in some one or
more of the following conditions: lack
of sunlight and fresh air; unsanitary
stalls, or boxes that are not properly
cleaned and disinfected; feeding too
much milk, or at irregular intervals;
feeding stale or chilled milk; feeding
from pals that have not been scalded
daily; feeding improper concentrated
feed, or allowing the excess to ferment
and stale in the feed-box.
The true Democrat., 1915-02-06
REARING THE DAIRY CALF.

The fat of milk Is so valuable that
all calves designed for the dairy should
be reared on skim milk. The skim
milk calf is usually allowed to run
with the dam two or three days, though
many dairymen never allow it to draw
milk from the mother, claiming that if
separated at once it learns more
readily to drink from the pail. In any
event the calf should get the first milk
or colostrum, which is designed by
nature for cleansing the bowels and
starting the digestive functions. Warm,
fresh, unskimmed milk should be fed
from the pail several times daily until
the calf is two or three weeks old, after
which skim milk is gradually substi-
tuted, the change covering period of
two weeks.
When the calf is two or three weeks
old add to its milk small allowance
of some fine concentrate such as low
grade -four, continuing such feed for
three or four weeks while the stomach
is small and incapable of utilizing
coarser food. Later other concentrates
may replace this, being placed in feed
boxes where the calves may readily
eat the grain after eating their skim
milk.
The calf may be taught to eat grain
by rubbing little on its mouth when
9 it is through drinking milk. From this
it will soon learn to eat from the feed,
box. There is little danger of calves
getting too fat on any Of the common
grains while being fed skim milk
Should any of the calves show ten,
dency to put on fat, little bran or oil
meal may be added and the corn-meal
removed or reduced. After weaving
the calf great care will be needed in
The true Democrat., 1915-02-06

selecting grains containing the right
amount of protein and mineral matter
for the proper development Of bone
and muscle.
There is little or no danger of the
calf being fed skim milk eating too
much grain. The young calf makes
better gains for grain consumed than
the older calf, which is an additional
reason for giving it all it will eat.
Limiting the grain ration causes loss
in gain and is seldom to be recommend
ed. The calf is possessed of good set
of grinding teeth and when four to six
weeks of age is able to do most Of it's
own grinding. When possible it is
better to feed mixture of grains than
one, but a large variety does not seem
to be of any special merit. 1t is not
advisable to mix grain with the milk.
The calf needs to masticate it properly
and not gulp it down before the starchy
matter of the feed is acted on by the
saliva. This precaution will frequently
avoid scours.
Calves will eat roughage at about the
same time that they begin to eat grain:
viz, two or three weeks of age. They
will eat about the same amount of
each at first. AS the calf grows older
the proportion of roughage to grain
increases, and by the time the calf is
six months of age it will have consum-
ed about three times as much roughage
as grain. The hay can be placed in
one corner of the calf-pen. Any left
tuneaten should be removed at the next
feeding time and a new supply added
Some feeders have difficulty from
scours in turning calves on pasture,
This may be overcome by allowing
the calves to Craze for only short
time the first day and gradually in.
