anything of them in the line cof a

rather spend half a dollar keeping tho

than five &Mars to bring it back if
Ler it had once gotten down into the
clitrehlie,
rfirst thing to bo decided is
whether you want, to raise the calf
at all or not. Last spring I went
to buy a Jersey calf. When I took
the little thing, and carefully threw
it on its back, the farmer wondered
what in the world I was going to
do. I explained that I wanted to
see how maxey tc'ats the calf had, and
that if it had five I should like it
better than if there were lees, and in
ease, I fothid six it would be still
more destrable. The farmer said he
never had heard of that before; but
it is a pretty good indication that,
the calf has the making of a good
COW about it. Then, too, know the
parentage of the calf. Look at it
all over, and soe if it is a creature

WHEN IT GETS TO BE A COW.
These points decided, take the calf
away from the cow whon it is not
more than a day old, and fasten it
where the mother will not mourn for
it because she sees it. It is all
right to let the calf have the first
milk the cow gives. There is some-
thing about it which thecalf seems
to need in its stomach. 'Involve
hours after you take the calf from
its' dam,. ofTer it some milk. The
process of teaching a calf to drink
used to be a pretty serious OeSeal for
me. I used to think ono must force
tho calf to put its head down into
the pailf and hold it there until it
begins to drink. That is not a very
sensible way, and I know it now.
My plan to -day is this: I take two
or thx•ee quarts' of hnilk in a pail,
having it fresh and warm from the
cow. ' Taking a stooping position in
front of the calf, Which is Iastenecl by
the neck with a strap and chain, I
give it my fingers to Suck, Those
who have calf -feeders say they avoid
sore lingers at this point. _I never
have used suoh a thing, and never
suffered from bitten fingers.
When the calf is working ,good at
the fingers, I carefully lower my hand
toward the milk in the pail, holding'
the pail up from the floora little
with the free hand. It is not natur-
al for, the calf to get its rations from
:the Doer. Its natural tendency is
to loA' up for the cow's udder.
If I succeed- in getting the calf's
head into tho milk, I hold it there

The late Sir ,John Blundell Maple
was never tired of telling his friends
hove much he owed to his mother. He
used to say, "She was the cleverest
woman I -ever knew," aud he often
related tho advice sho gave him when
as a ,boy he thought of being called
to the Bar11 ever you were to
become Lord Chancellor„" she said,
'OU would have reviched the eed
of all things in that profession. You
would have sech ancl such an, income
and such and such a position, which
are already known to you. But if
you go into busixiess there is no lim-
it to your opportunities," The boy
chose his father's business, and., as
he often said, never forget his inn -
titer's advice,
frig: If I do not and the calfgets food, will be better flavored and
more wholesome in every respect; •

A NUMBER OF TIMES,
The need of patience at this point is
obvious. We need to think that wo
are dealing with a. creature that does
not know so very much about the
things of this world. Some of us
were that way ourselves at one time.
When I have .succeeded in getting the
calf to drink out of the pail, I slip
my fingers out of its mouth, and
wait for it to lift its head, which
it will soon doe then I repeat the
Operation until it gets the idea firm-
ly impres.sed upon it that its rations
aro down in the pail, and that there
is only ono way to get them.
WIenthe calf Is three weeks old,
I shade the quantity of now milk
given, adding in the place of it a lit-
tle sweet skimmed milk and a taste
of oil -meal. Only a bit of this •can
be given at the start—less than a
teeteponnful—increasing the quantity
as the calf can take it. This lessen-
ing of the new milk goes on until
the calf is taking all skinamed milk.
Now a crate of hay with a lock of
bright hay in it may be put near the
calf. This the calf Will soon learn to
'work at, and it will do him good.
Now the calf is fairly started. If
you wish him to grow up without
horns, when he is less than three
weeks old snip away the hair over
the little knobs or horns, and wet-
ting them with water, rub a stick of
caustic potash over the bunches. Only
once is necessary; but be thorough
about it, and still do not unneces-
sarily burn the head. Look out for
SELECTING DAIRY CALVES.
.A. writer glees -this method of se -
'acting calves to raise, which is fol-
lowed by many successful dairymen: I
"Turn the little calf on Its back and I
see that it has four well placed teats 1
that is, wide apart, and two rudi-
mentaries, or extra teats. Next see
that it has .a large udder Cord, which
You can feel o11 the side, rubbing the
finger back and forth. Such parts
are made in proportion and a large
udder cord enchcates that tint calf,
when it becontes a cow, will carry
a large udder, because a large cord
is necessary to hold this up Next
Next
look in the calf's mouth, and if there
are eight teeth, well through, you
can safely raise that calf. If there
are only two teeth put through, re-
ject the calf, because, a.s a rule, this
indicates that the constitutional vxg-
ee of the mother wile not sufficient to
mature the calf iully betore it was
born. Such a calf will be likely to
lia.ve a weak vitality when it grows
up; as well as during its younger
days.

"Yes, they're engaged," said Ethel.
"But it's the most remarkable case!,
She says she's in love with him, and
yet she has known him only four
days. I don't undet•stann it
"Simplest thing in the woidd,"
mused her companion, "if she had
known him any longer than that she
wouldn't have boon in love with
him."
