sheep-Raisinq in the East.

If the abandoned farms could be
utilized for sheep-raising, it will be o
long way togard reducing the cost OF
living in this country. The sheep in
dustry was originally started on the
Atlantic seaboard, of course; but 1t
has worked its way westward until
now there are only n few sheep breed
ers in the East. That the industry
can be brought back to the East is
sure thing. Sheep, it is well known.
are the most economical domestic AMI
mails produced. They can live on al
most nothing. 1t has been estimated
that every sheep in the United States
produces a profit of $40 annually. II
we can bring back the industry to the
eastern states and use the abandoned
farms for grazing, we shall very socl
make dent in the high cost of liv-

Cleansing the Mind.

There are kinds of illness that clear
the system, and there are kinds that
spread through the system subtle
infection. There are wounds that
heal from the outside and that Tester
within. In the mind and the spirit
there may be conditions precisely sim-
liar. Now, everything depends on the
treatment, upon getting at the deepest
causes, sometimes SO far away as to
be almost beyond detection. When we
trace the causes we are almost GER
tain to find them associated with some
defect of character. It is this defect
that must be treated. The wound may
be only the clamoring Of health under
the circumstances blessing in dis
guise, bringing warnings and incen-
tives-John D. Barry, in New York

Feeding the Dairy Calf.

The question of calf feeding will
not have become exhausted so long
as there are calves to feed, and
we presume that at no time as long
as the cows are MIXED will feed
ers fail to ask questions as to how
the skimmilk calf should be fed.
We consider it necessary to feed
the calf whole milk at least two
weeks, and if possible. three weeks.
1t will not pay to feed it approx
mately gallon of milk a day for
three weeks in order to give it a
good start. The first week or ten
days it does not need a gallon OF
milk a day. If it did, how would
those calves be reared which suckle
their dams and whose dams do not
produce one gallon a day? There
are thousands of such calf rearing
mothers in the United States. 1t
is not necessary to feed as much
milk as we are inclined to believe.
BY the time the calf has reached
three weeks of age it will be nib

This grain should be fed to the
COWS in proportion to their pro-
portion to their productiveness,
1t is necessary to feed the an.
finals as individuals, and to do
this to the best advantage it is
almost necessary to keep produc-
ton records. Unless this is done
there is no means of knowing
whether the COW is responding to
grain ration or not. 1t is almost
impossible to feed a herd intelli-.
gently without having the milk
record to use as reference.-Kan-

corn chop, kafir or milo meal. To
be sure, if none of these feeds is
available for the feeding of the
calf and the substitution for the
fat in the whole milk, then the
rearing of the calf is difficult and if
it be reared we'll some feed must be
bought or whole milk must be fed.
At the end of three weeks begin
substituting skim milk gradually,
and by the time the calf is eating
we'll the whole milk may be discop-
tinued asd skim, milk substituted
for it. The theory of feeding
calves is simple. Give the calf
good start on whole milk. Substi-
tute skim.milk just SO soon as he
is able and consume in some other
way the fats which have been re-
moved from the milk.-Kansas

Economy in Cow Feeding.

A dairy man recently asked that
we suggest an economical ratio n
for a herd of Holstein milk cows.
He has good silage made from corn
that would have husked about 40
bushels to the acre, and has plenty
of high quality alfalfa stored in
the barn where the cows are kept.
Bran and mslasses feed are the
principal concentrates being fed at
the present time. and they are
being used in quite large Quantities.
He said it seemed though the feed
bill was entirely too high.
From an economical standpoint,
these cows should be fed not less
than IS or 40 pounds of the silage
daily. This is about the amount
that can be carried in bushel
basket by pressing it down well
and heaping it. The alfalfa will
supply considerable protein and
will help to balance the silage. 1t
is the most palatable dry hay that
can be fed to cows.
After they hsve eaten all they
will of these two splendid feeds for
milk production. some grain can
be added with profit for cows of
high productive capacity. The
use of heavy rations of bran or
molasses meal will not give as good
results from the profit standpoint
as the use of mixed grain ration
consisting of four parts of corn
chop, two parts of bran. and one
| cottonSeed meal. by weight. This
