Quoted vigorous campaign request
ing that where it was possible to do

abled the mines and the railroads to
supply the demand throughout the en-
tire year, and present conditions indi-
cate an average or bumper crop,
which, during the fall and winter
months, will tax the railroads to move.
It is therefore essential that the
consumers of coal should pursue the
same policy that they have pursued
during the past two seasons and lay
in their supply of coal during the
summer months. At present this Is
possible, as the coal mines are only
operating a few days each week and
are able to forward shipments prompt
Iy. It is therefore important that
every farmer, householder and bust
ness concern should give this matter
careful consideration, as it is abso-
lutely necessary that the coal mines
should operate throughout the entire
year in order to supply the demand.
From an economic standpoint this
request should be given every cOnsid-
Grafton. as government regulation of
coal mines has been removed and
should the demand during the fall
and winter months exceed the supply
it will undoubtedly affect the price of
coal.

FOUNDATION FOR DAIRY HERD
Excellent Results Obtained in Starting
With Grade Calves From Good
Producers.

| prepared by the United States Depart
rent of Agriculture.)
Young calves from good dairy cows
are satisfactory foundation for start
| ing dairy herd. Ordinarily the meth
| cd advocated is to grade up common
cows with a pure-bred bull, requiring
number Of years of patient selection
and breeding-a period sometimes dis
| couraging to an energetic dairyman.
Frequently this causes farmers, who
want results too quickly, to change
breeds.
1t is expensive to buy mature dairy
cows that are free from disease, that
have good breeding and show desirable
productive ability. Often, especially in
new dairy sections, farmer buys ma
ture stock without being properly pre-
pared to care for it, and many dis
couragements follow. To a great ex-
tent most Of this difficulty can be
avoided by buying good grade helfer
calves from herds of well-established
milk production. In some dairy re-
gions 1t Is common practice to sell
the heifer calves for veal. These calves,
while only grades, are usually from
good producing ancestors and carry
productive ability much greater than
common cows.
The buying Of such calves to start
dairy herds has been tried In several
states with excellent results. OF
course the cost of small calves Is much
less than mature animals and the dam
ger Of disease is also greatly lessened.
In general, shipping is simpler. Calves
may be shipped by express at from two
to four weeks old, depending upon the
distance, with good results, If they are
properly cared for upon arrival
In buying it is important to deal
only with dairymen. Do not buy from
men who purchase calves at stock
yards to ship back to the farmers, be-
cause it is not always possible to de-
termine the breeding of the calves. and
calves that are physically unfit may be
shipped.
In some cases shipments are made
C. o. D., which enables the buyer to
see the calves before paying for them.
A man who sells calves In this way
makes special effort to please his
