There are several reasons why beef matte are scarce, but one of the fore- most is that farmers are selling their veal calves at the age of six weeks, %mites W. G. Noland in the Orange Judd Farmer. Tbey do not consider how much loss is iacurred by doing so. These calves can be placed on pastnre, and before the owner realizes it they are old and large enough to be put on dry feed and be fattened for market. This is one reason for the scarcity of feeding cattle and high priced beef, but most of the farmers who sell calves at such a tender age do it be- cause they don't care to or don't know how to feed a steer for market. A calf that is born, reared and fat- tened on the same farm is the one that pays. Not only is it a better feeder, but it is generally a quiet and hearty animal. Not every farmer, of course, Is prepared to feed cattle, but if he wishes he can be without a great deal of expense. Not every farmer, on the other hand, knows how to feed and fatten cattle. but this can be learned by beginning with a simian number and gaining experience little by little. 1 have found that it is poor economy to underfeed, however expensive feed- ing material may be. If a herd of cat- tle is on the farm to be fattened the eorncrib must not be nailed solid nor contents spared. When I am feeding cattle I use whatever feeds I have that will be eaten to advantage and with a relish. I use bran, crushed corn, corn stover, hay, cottonseed meal, and give free access to rock salt. I have wenn sleeping quarters and a good stack of straw in the lot where the animals are kept. It is a loss to any cattle feeder to try to make a profit on a herd of cattle without hav- ing hogs to follow them. Much corn Is thrown from the feeding troughs by the indifferent steer, and this scatter- ed grain, including the droppings, makes a fattening ration for a number of good sized shotes. Those wbo an get cattle and hogs to feed should not question the ad- visability of feeding the corn rather than selling it at an unsatisfactory price. The price for good beef ie like- ly to hold. To make this short feed the steers ought to range in weight from 1,000 to 1,200 pounds when purchased. Then as heavy cattle are always in demand by packers they should make a large uet profit.

Stich dairy- men give their calves web ligbted and web ventilated stalls, and tbese are kept as clean and have as muela care as tbe stalls of' the older cattle. Plea- t -3' of warm bedding is furnisbed, and if there is any suspicion of foul odor a light coat of lime is scattered over the door before fresh beddiug is ap- plied. To give the calf the best possible chance it is web to have a pen or yard attached to the stall on the sunny side, but sheltered from the west and north winds, where the young calf can take exercise. In this yard a drinking trough should be placed; also a man- ager in which to feed hay or other forage, which they will partake of as wanted through the day. The milk that is red tbe young calf should be as near the tetnperature that It is drawn from the cow as possible, It is largely a waste of time and labor to enlarge on the quali- ties of the Holstein cow as a milk producer. In the realm of milk makers she has no equal where quantity for feed consumed Is con- sidered. As a butter producer, too, the Holstein holds the record, al- though It is contended, and with forceful arguments, that she does not produce butter fat so economi- cally as the Jersey. Ayrshire or Guernsey. But as a prolific pro- ducer of milk the Holstein cow takes off her blanket to no other breed. The illustration pictures a Holstein cow not at all famous, but one that has given In one year 13,- 59/ pounds of milk containing 605.6 pounds of butter fat.

CASTOR IA Per Infante and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Boon tho 231gaatero of Aito solution (one one -thousandth) or a 5 per cent carbolic acid solution (not crude). Fiftle—Flush the floor with a satu- rated solution of iron sulphate or a solution of chloride of lime (one pound to three gallons of water). Sixth.—Spray interior of feed boxes, mangers, stanchions and partitions with the 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid. This is done for the reason that there is danger of poisoning the ani- mals if the bichloride of mercury is used for spray upon those structures which the animals can lick with their tongues. The carbolic acid is absolutely harmless if used in a 5 per cent solu- tion. Seventh --A whitewash applied to walls, ceilings and partitions will add to the cleanliness of the stable. To make a 5 per eel:it solution of carbolic acid use one part by weight of pure carbolic acid to twenty parts of water. Add the carbolic acid to a gal- lon of moderately warm water, stir vigorously; then add enough more warm water to make the desired amount The solittion can be applied with spray pumps, sprinkling cans or with a brush. In the mixing and application of bi- chloride of mercury it must be remem- bered that this disinfectant is extreme- ly poisonous when taken internally not only to cattle, but also to man. The buckets, tubs, spray pumps and sprin- kling cans which have been used in applying the solution should be thor- oughly scrubbed with soap and rinsed with clean water before using for any other purpose. Bichloride of mercury will corrode metal, so that it is well to use wooden utensils. The tnercut7 so- lution must be used with caution about the feed boxes, mangers and stan- chions for fear of the cattle contract- ing mercuric poisoning by licking these objects. For this reason it is advisable to use the carbolic acid on the feed boxes and mangers and the bichloride oi mercury for -the wells and ceilings. Ointment For Scratches. A very useful and simple ointment for scratches is made by mixing to- gether two ounces of sulphur, two tea- spoonfuls each of spirits of camphor mad corapound tincture of benzoin and four ounces of lard, says A. S. Alex- ander, M. D. C. Apply this two or three times a day to heels affected with scratches. If the affected parts have long been involved and are crack- ed so that they bleed when the animal Is worked Poultice the parts for two or three days with hot flaxseed meal, changing the poultices night and morn- ing. Mix a little bran in each poul- tice, as that will prevent the flaxseed meal from sticking to the skin .as it dries. On discontinaing the poultices use the scratches ointment, and if that does not suffice cleanse the parte, dry theM thoroughly and blister light- ly with cerate of cantharides, This treatment removes the old, scaly, die - eased surface akin, and the new, ma- derlying skin does tot creek and. may be kept eound by use of the ointment Until it IS seen to be perfectly free from abnormal conditions. .4.0,0%,, Photo by Kentucky Agricultural college.

The fanner neethi to get A flraler hold of the milk —larna The value of pure blood in the dairy is proved by the career of the cow herewith illustrated. She was a Jersey of the Tormentor strain and was owned by the Kentucky experiment station. She was drop- ped in 1894 arid died eighteen years later. In her four-year-old form this cow made a week's butter rec- ord of 18 pounds 1?.i. ounces of but- ter and a year's record of 676 pounds of churned butter and 10.218 pounds of milk. She was an excellent breeding cow and established a large family of heavy milking daughters and granddaughters at the Ken- tucky experiment station. She had thirteen calves, five bulls and eight heifers. The bull calves found ready sale and have been shipped to various parts of the United States at prices ranging from $75 to ;200. 'How A Clever Girl BREE6iNG MILK Helped Her Mother GOATS PROFITABLE and it may be necessary to warm it sligbtly after it has been separated. The vessels in which it partakes its feed should be Isept clean and sanitary by frequent scaldings aiid sunnings. There is little danger of diarrhea, which is so annoying and often fatal to the young calf, if cleanliness and' the right temperature of milk are strictly attended to and the calf receives its meals regularly. If a case of diarrhea, caused from neglect, is taken in time it can usually be cured. In addition to their feed give one or two tablespoonfuls of cas- tor oil in a pint of warm milk each night and morning. A half pint of strong tea made from spice cloves with tbe same amount of milk will also have a checking influence on the bowels. Some make a feed of gruel made of meal to mix with the milk. I do not think this advisable, as it seldona fails to give the scours. 5)ry, coarse meal Is much better for the calf than the wet, sloppy feeds. When fed dry feed the calf is compelled to chew it and mix it more thoroughly with the saliva and thus prepare it for complete digestion. There is little trouble in teaehing the young calf to eat dry feed. If a little meal is placed on its tongue or placed In its drinking trough its natural in- stinct to eat what is within its reach will assert itself, and it will soon be chewing its food well. Dairy Cow Temperament. Nervous temperament in a cow does aot mean a high state of nervousness or irritability, but that the animal has nerves such as make the various parts active, giving tone, 'vitality and activ- ity to the many parts of the body, says Better Farming. This Important char. acteristic is judged by the size and character of her eyes. Her face should be broad between the eyes and well dished. The eyes should be prominent, bright, clear and mild, but not at all sluggish looking. The backbone should be covered with no surplus flesh, for if it is the cow is using to fatten her- self that which should go into the milk paiL The ribs should be wide in them- selves and should Mee plenty of -width between them. This can be measured by feserting the fingers between the ribs. Persistency in chewing the cud IS a very accurate indication of the iort of temperament that is to be found In the dairy cow.

That the popularity of milk goats is growing was shown at the recent meeting of goat breeders at Rochester, N. Y.. where raisers of this variety of live stock gathered from all over the country. The pedigreed buck here shown was bred in England, where the milk producing goat has lately come into high favor. The milk of goats is highly valued for invalids and children. egoomeametassanwa wesscoonranattax.rwmuumswror are easily digested with it. It does not tend to separate as does cow's milk and hence is more valuable as a food. The tendency of cosvs milk Is to form into curd, which is very hard for patients to digest and also for delicate infants. Another faet is true, and that is that our native doe— or in other words, the better class of common stock found throughout the country—when crossed with pure bred sires of any high grade milking type will produce an offspring bettering ber mother by at least one-third. Tbe cost of rearing a goat to milk form is far below that of rearing a cow. A kid should be kept until tvvo years of age before breeding, as tbis insures a better kid, as well as a great- er milk flow. Based on the statements of several breeders, I find a kid ean be reared to breeding age for $25. From that time on it will cost about $14 a year to keep a milk goat. Native goats will produce 400 quarts of milk during their milking period, and this will give you about two quarts of fresh pure milk a day, at a cost of We cents per quart, while now you give at least 0 cents for milk shipped from a distance of unknown quality and age. A pure bred Saanen goat has been known to produce 1,845 pounds of milk in ten months. While goat milk sells in Boston at 25 cents per quart and in New York at 50 cents, many of the breeders at the Rochester exposition were selling their milk direct to invalids and phy- skims at the remarkable price of 80 cents per quart and even at that price could not 811 the demand. Tills is caused by the fact that children aud delicate people thrive much faster on goat's milk than on cow's and develop no later troubles. Here are a few statistics worthy of con.sideration: Of 283,106 goats that passed the federal meat inspection eervice not one had tuberculosis. In Belgium not one goat of her 300,000 tested had tuberculosis, while 50 per cent of her 900,000 cows were affected with this dreaded disease. This state- ment was made by the authority of Dr. P. DeMade. Experiments in our coun- try have found the Toggenburg and Saanen goats hardy enough for our northern states, but the Nubian is too delicate for use here, except in the ex- treme south. Breeders should bear this fact in mind when choosing a sire to mate with their does. Poor Economy. Don't try to save a few dollars 1)7 feeding second class or musty hay and grain to your horses.
