is fed there is often a temptation to
over-feed or feed in dirty pals, which
causes trouble. AS general rule
after calves are on ration of hay
and grain their troubles are over.
The cows that were grown by this
method were large, well-developed
cows, which goes to prove that their
vitality had not been lessened by
the lack of milk in calf-hood. The
record of one herd was obtained near
Plymouth, Wisconsin, which is as
follows:
Number of cows, thirty. Six of
these were two-year OLD heifers. The
thirty cows produced in 1915, 3O6,-

guard it would be we'll to treat for
smut in the case of wheat, and for
wilt in the case of flax.
This does not mean that it would
not be possible to obtain seed abso-
kltely pure from some grower when
commencing this work, but it does
mean that it is greatly important to
be absolutely sure that the foundation
eed is free from all impurities. If
there are only few grains of admix-
ture by some other variety, these
ture by some other variety, these will
continually increase. If that increase
were unchecked, the time would come
when that other variety would form
half the crop, providing the inherent
igor of the two varieties is equal.
Once started with pure seed, the
work of keeping it pure is relatively
easy, providing the grower uses his
N threshing machine. But should
the admixture at the first 'be ever
so slight with some other variety of
the same species, it is scarcely pos
sible to separate completely these var
tiles afterwards. Here then is a
sure and profitable line of work for
many growers. Who will be the first

RAISING FUTURE COWS

In selecting calves for future cows,
do not imagine that any and all, re-
gardless of size, build and type, will
make good paying cows. It costs no
more, at least not much more, to raise
a. good cow than to raise scrub,
writes G. A. Randall in Farm and
Home. The care and feeding bestowed
upon the calf determine to a great ex-
.ent what the future COW will be.
Beefy or short bodies, should not be
saved for cows; only those possessing
rangy frames, should be kept.
The care and feed of the calf are all
important, for here hinges, to a great
extent, success or failure. The first
feed should be whole milk, fresh
and warm from the COW, fed morning
and at night. For the first week,
depending upon size, feed from two to
three quarts at ration. Underfeed,
by all means, rather than overfeed
during the first critical week. Over
feeding produces scours, form which
no calf can again make good" When
one week old the amount should grad
ually be increased ever watchful to
leave the calf hungry; At two weeks
feed warm separated milk. to which is
stirred in one handful of corn meal,
boiled to a thin cruel in water.
Increase the amount gradually until
at six or eight weeks Of age the calf
can readily take from four to six
quarts at feed. To the milk add
one pint or more of cruel. Never
feed cold milk, nor on the other hand,
over-warm rations. At this time a
pinch of salt may be added twice each
week.

and some of them understand it re-

whole game without asking "What

1t is not always wise to take a

matter how she dotes on it. She NAV
not notice the difference when they
stop batting up flies and begin the
game. She may think the pitcher
and catcher are playing against each
and complain because one of them
does not quit and give that cute fell

She may mistake the catcher's breast

she will notice, with an ever growing

FEEDING CALVES WITH
OUT SKIM MILK

Where people consider starting
cheese factories one of the questions
often asked is "How can l raise my
calves without the skim milk" The
question is best answered by an in
.estigation on this subject that was
,ade by the Federal Division last
January in Sheboygan County, Wis.
Ten farms were inspected where
calves were being reared with great
success without skim milk or whey.
Nine of the farmers were using pract-
ically the same method, which is des-
cribed as follows:
The calves were taken from the
cows as soon as dry and never allowed
20 suck. They were taught to drink
and were fed whole milk for about
four weeks. The amount of milk fed
daily ranged from ten to twenty
pounds. At this age the calves were
beginning to eat some grain and al
falfa or clover hay. They were en-
couraged to begin eating as young as
possible. AS soon as they began
fatting they were given whole shelled
corn and whole oats, together with
the hay and the milk grandually di-
luted with warm water. When the
calves reached the age of about seven
or eight weeks, the milk was entirely
discontinued, The total amount of
milk each calf received was from 500
to 800 pounds. The average price that
milk brought at the cheese factory
was Sl.25 per cwt. Therefore, the
milk cost of growing these calves ram
ged from $500 to $1,000 each. At
the end of seven or eight weeks they
were subsisting entirely on hay, grain
and water.
One man was feeding some cali
meal, which cost $3.50 per cwt. An
average feed was about two pounds
day. This was used at the period
when milk was being diluted. The
man who was feeding this calf meal
did not have any better looking calves
than the others who fed the corn and
oats.
During this investigation no sich
or stunted calves were found-al
were thrifty and in good growing
condition. This seems to confirm OBJ
servations in other places that g
great deal of calf ailments CONS
from feeding skim milk. Where skim

WHY MEN LOVE BASE BALL

Base ball is the most dangerous
game known to history. When it
comes to mortality lists baseball
leaves football lap behind in a six
furlong race on a mile track. Sta
tisticians have figured it out that it
is 43O times as destructive to human
life as Mexican revolution, and al
most as deadly as Mexican chile. An
nually it kills off so many aunts,
uncles and grandparents that think
ing people wonder how the undertake
ers can stand the steady work.
For all that, we love baseball. Even
in spite of the grandstand humorists,
we love it. 1t is our national game.
We feel that, since this country was
to give us baseball, our revolutionary
sires did not bleed and die in vain.
Men have much reason to love base
ball. 1t gives them the chance to
admire skill, speed, strength, nerve,
courage and determination, and to
learn the latest slang and most pep
full repartee. 1t gives them the
chance to bodily abuse and insult 9TH
er men without fear of consequences
and to exhibit their wit before large
crowds. 1t gives them the chance to
set up real heroes and bow down to
them. Statesmen are corrupt, gen.
erals fight from their tents, literary
lines are pale, weak bodies But base
ball heroes are real heroes. And
