sickness comes from a foul pen than
any other one thing. The only way to
avoid this is to clean the pens out Of
ten and give the calves good, dry
straw. It is a good way to turn straw
into manure, however, 30 that We do
succeed in killing two birds with one
stone.
Again our calves are fed hay twice
day, the same as the cows. I know
of no article Of food that does go much
for them as hay. They need the Pc
culiar juices Of the hay to regulate
their bowels and keep them In order.
Still again, we feed our calves milk
right from the separator 80 that It Is
warm every time. If did not have
the. separator I>would warm the milk
on the stove so that it should be tenn
pered to the surrounding atmosphere.
Cold milk is not the thing for calf.
This is a secret learned from an old
farmer who used to have the finest
calves Of anybody in the neighborhood.
He always fed warm milk.
As may be implied by the drift Of
the above, our calves are not let out in
the yard during hot weather. Our sta
BILE is cool and we ventilate it well and
very few flies ever get into 1t. I used
to let the calves go out, but they did
not do as we'll as they have since we
began to stable them.

CARING FOR CALVES

calves in hot weather. It is a most
trying time of the year, writes e. L.
Vincent in the Iowa Homestead. Be.
tween the heat and the flies 1t is hard
work for the little fellows to hold their
own unless they are favored more thar
the average calf is favored.
It did us good when the other day
visitor who is around good deal did
US the kindness to say: "That is the
finest bunch Of calves have seen this
year." We think ourselves they are
good ones. We have been giving them
a little extra care ever since they were
born. and now that the warm period is
upon US we are bearing on still harder,
for we don't want the calves to slip
back.
In the first place we are trying our
best to give them a clean pen. More

LITERATURE.

LITERATURE.
Reading maketh a full man,
conference a ready man and
writing an exact man.-Bacon.
There is a fashion in letters
which regulates the books we
purchase and the authors we
talk about.-Bovee.
Literature is the thought Of
thinking souls.-Carlyle.
But, indeed, we prefer books
to pounds. and we love manu-
scripts better than forms, and
we prefer small pamphlets to
war horses.-Disraeli.
Wherever literature consoles
sorrow or assuages pain-wher-
ever it brings gladness to eyes
which fail with wakefulness and
tears and ache for the dark
house and the long sleep-there
Is exhibited in It's noblest form
the immortal influence of Ath-
ens.-Macaulay.
All literature writes the char
acter Of the wise man.-Emer-

"oNcE IN AWHILE"


Ut is easy enough to be pleasant
: When life flows by like q
song,
But the man worth while is one
who will smile
When everything goes dead wrong,
For the test Of the heart is trouble,
And 1t always comes with the
years,
And the smile that is worth the
praises Of earth
Is the smile that shines through
tears.
It is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to
stray,
When without or within no voice
Of sin
1s Turing your soul away.
But it's only negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire.
And the life that is worth the hon.
or Of earth
Is the one that resists desire.
BY the cynic. tho sad. the fallen,
Who had no strength for the
strife,
The worlds highway Is numbered
today.
They make up the item Of life,
But the virtue that conquers pas
sion
And the sorrow that hides tn.
smile
It IL these that are worth the
homage of earth,
For we find them but once In
awhile.
ELLA Wheeler Wilcox.

sueoulenes For Gown.

One Of the fundamental principles in
feeding milk cows is that they must
have a certain amount Of succulent
feed to do their best. Succulence sim
ply means feed containing their natu-
raj juices. The chemist may find just
as much nutrient material in q dried
feed as in one in the succulent condi-
tion, but the COW cannot. In the win
ter season silage furnishes the succu-
lent part Of the ration, and no farmer
milking cows can consider himself
fully equipped until he can give his
cows their daily allowance Of succu-
lent feed In the form Of corn, cane or
Kaflr silaee.
