think to breed for each speciality separately
and successfully, than by endeavoring to
combine the two specialties in the same ami

To be sure, the last destination ofall neat
stock is the same, namely, the beef barrel,
but if the COW has been a Superior dairy ami
NAL we will willingly be content with less
amount Of Mat than if she was inferior for
the dairy and We. were patiently waiting for
the operation Of the butcher to enable us to
''realize" on her, and obtain the same in
come FROM her that we had from her more
successful dairy sister.


To breed superior animals fer either Of
these spscaltiss we must commence, where
For the purposes Of this article we will nn-
Swer, With their birth. 1t is evident that
to produce animals specially adapted to the
wants Of the dairyman or the stock raiser
will require different method of feeding
and treatment, aud this should commence
with the young animal while the organs and
general structure are yet tender and easily
nodded and also comparatively undcveloped.


If we wish to raise dairy animal it
should be fed with especial reference to pro-
duce bone, muscle, and tissue, and develop
the miIk-secreting organs, but If on the tn
er hand We wish to raise the large, square
built, heavy quartered beef animal we should
while feeding for the production of bone and
muscle add other food that would strongly
stimulate aud develop the Aesh.producing or
gans aud but slightly the milk-secreting
ones.


For instance, taking the young calf we
would lot it draw its nourishment from its
dam until, as the phrase is, "the milk is
good !" we would then teach il to drink,
giving new milk until it would drink read
lily, after which we should feed skim milk,
skimming it after setting twelve hours, then
twenty-four, and thus gradually increasing
we would in few days have the milk set as
long as we wished ere the cream was re-
moved. ..-


With the milk, if We were raising dairy
stock, We would feed wheat meal, oat meal,
and shorts, but never corn meal, and per con.
trary if feeding to raise beef animals we
should feed literally Of corn meal and SPAR
ingly Of the others.


From evidence gained by personal expe'
rieuce we have been led to discard the use Of
new milk as food for calves except as indica-
ted above. The fact Is, we find milk that is
rich in butter is very apt to scour them, es-
pecially if they happen to be slightly over
fed, and, too, there is no nutritive value to
the butter, but the value Of the butter re-
moved from the milk expended in meal and
added to the milk gives much more nu.
tritious and profitable food.


The idea that good calves eau only be
raised on new milk is all "moonshiae," nor
can they be raised on an insufficient amouRt
of skim milk, but we do assert that as good
calves can be raised on skim milk with ju.
dicious feeding Of meal-and at less expense
--as upon whole milk. s. &. FOSTER.

In raising neat stock there are two dis

other is the opposite, namely beef animals

If 4th of July celebration is at
tempted in Mineral Point it will be
the duty of every man and woman
in the city to assist either by con-
tribution or by labor in making it a
success, and giving it character.
The object is a high one that calls
forth the loftiest principles in our
nature, and those participating
should feel il duty that they owe
to their forefathers and their coun-
try, rather than pleasure to them
selves. The display of fireworks
and like entertainments, while they
are necessary to give variety to the
occasion should be regarded as of
secondary Importance, and ought to
be the last inducement held ont to
assemble the people. Foreign coun-
tries continue with unrelaxed zeal
to celebrate the anniversary of their
nations birth, though in many it
has gone thousand years into his
tory, and it would exhibit a wonder
full tendency to apathy in the peo-
pie Of this country. if they would
allow it to fall into neglect, or its
object to degrade from that inauger-
ated by our fathers. Mineral Point
and vicinity ought to celebrate the
4th of July, and make it a day of
rejoicing by associating it with the
history of our nations birth ard
remembering the duty we owe to
