CALVES ON SEPARATED MILK
No Fixed Rules of Feeding Can Be
GiVen-Size and Vigor of Animal
Must Be Considered.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
At least four-fifths of all dairy
calves are raised on separated milk,
grain being used to supply the fat re-
moved. Usually it pays well to feed
whole milk for about two weeks, at the
end of which time separated milk may
be used in part. The proportion of the
latter may be gradually increased until
at the end of the fourth week it is used
altogether. No fixed rules of feeding,
based upon age, can be given, because
the size and vigor Of the calf must al
ways be considered. Calves especially
strong at birth may be put on separ-
ated milk entirely at two weeks of age,
but this should not be attempted with
weak ones. Until the calf is in vigor-
GUS and thrifty condition no attempts
should be made to change to separated
milk. This change should always be
made gradually.
For the first four days, from eight to
twelve pounds of milk from the dam
should be fed. After this time the
milk may be from any COW or cows in
tho herd, but preferably not from any
that are nearly dry. Milk containing
not more than 4 per cent of butterfat
is considered the best for this pur-
pose.
AT the beginning Of the third week
the substitution of either skim or sep
arated milk may commence at the rate
of one pound a day. The quantity of
the daily ration may be increased two
to four pounds, depending upon the
vigor of the calf. The quantity, how.
ever, should be kept well below the
capacity Of the calf; that is, when it
does not drink eagerly what is offered,
the quantity should be cut down.
At the beginning of the fourth week,
from One-half to three-quarters Of the
milk ration should be separated milk,

Long, long centuries ago, they will
tell you, there lived a valiant soldier
who had one daughter, Tamara, the
most beautiful maiden the world had
ever seen. White was her skin and
bright as gold her long silken curls,
and all who saw her loved her for her
beauty and her charm. War broke
out in a neighbOring country, and her
father was called to arms. Long and
bravely he fought and ever by his side
rode his friend, the chief of a nearby
castle, until one bitter day an arrow
found his comrades heart.
When the war was over, he came
home once more, bringing with him
Plinl, young lad, the son of his fall
en- cOmrade. Between Plini and Ia
mara a close friendship grew. She, as
was the custom of the times, had learn
ed to weave and embroider, but furth-
er learning had she none, so he de-
lighted in teaching her the songs of
Greece while he accompanied her on
the harp. Day in and day out, they
wandered together through the woods
and fields, gathering the flowers that
grew by the way, and together singing
so that the very birds hushed their
melody to listen. They were only chill
dren, and their merry laughter rang
through the air as they ran and leaped
In Joy of heart, but little by little
they grew more silent and as they
walked their hands would seek and
find each the others.
Changed Into Lily.
Then the nature of their singing
changed and sad, sweet melodies re-
placed the joyous tunes of childhood.
The harp sobbed and sighed with I'M
spoken love and long, strange silences
fell between them. For months they
wandered thus, not understanding the
secret of their hearts, until one day
Tamara was claimed by the great chief
to whom her hand had been long prom
lsed.

During the week the change should be
continued until by the end of the week
only separated milk is fed. With espe.
cially vigorous calves the change to
separated milk may be made about a
week earlier.
After this time separated milk may
be fed entirely unless the calf is very
delicate. The quantity fed can be
gradually increased until IS to 20
pounds a day are given. 1t is usually
not economical to feed more than this
unless milk is very plentiful.
The time that milk should be discon.
tinued depends upon its cost in rela.
ton to the value of the calf, its breed,
size, vigor, etc. The season in which
it reaches the age of six months and
the other feeds available at that time
must also be taken into consideration.
Six months is probably good average
age at which to wean calves from milk.
When the best of hay, silage, and a
good variety of grains are available.
the calf may be Weaned earlier than
when such feeds are lacking. The sea-
son Of good, succulent pasturage pre-
sents the best possible condition for

milk, may be fed without harmful re.
suits, provided the change from sweet
milk is made gradually. 1t is not well,
however, to alternate between sweet

Too dutiful to refuse to obey the
commands Of her father, too loving to
be untrue to her own heart, she knew
not what to Go, so going out unto the
mountains she prayed to heaven for
deliverance, and the gods, who hear
the prayers of those who trust, chang
ed her into q tall lily, with petals
white as Der fair skin and golden pis-

Years passed and Plini wandered
the whole world through, seeking for
his lost love. From every passerby he
asked, Have you seen Tamara, the
fairest of maidens?' To the wild
winds as they blew he prayed, "Oh,
find for me my love-" But no an
swer came until home once more in his
own country he found and knew the
lily. Falling on his knees beside it he
cried, SIS it indeed thee, oh, Tamara ?"
and, like the sigh of the soft south
WIND he heard the flower whisper, "It
is I, my beloved"
Then, all his years of fruitless search
past, he clasped the blossom to his
heart and wept, and the flower feel
ing the warm tears of love, blushed
rosy with joy. But what was life to
him when she who made the sunshine
of his heart was gone? So the merci-
full gods changed him to a shower,
