Calves-A Bit OF Experienc,

(Manuscript forced on the Edi-
tor.)
When you stack your fodder
this year stack it round where
your calf stable is. Make a yard
make it nice and large so that
they can run about the yard. A
nice time to turn them out is from
ten o'clock till two o'clock. After
that, longer and the calves will be
stronger and healthier and happy
and need not be feed SO much, but
little bit. When cleaning stall
do not put straw, let it dry. You
have to put a door. | think you
can do that. You do not want to
do that with Bull calves for they
are sold. The calves ere as happy
and contented as can be. The
Crossways farm has tried this
plan and it has worked out very
good, and we hope you will try it
My plan is not much but for little
calves it is.
