consequently their work is half done.
They have never resolutely elet them-
selves to work to study what it means
to rear ecalf well. When a. man is
th.oroughly saturated with the know -
led of a thing it holds him up to better
work.
In March last two men came Into thIs
rieighborhood looking for grade dairy
calves. They were men who knew what
they wanted.*They purchased seven
lerade Guernsey -tielfers dropped last
fall of one man, and paid him an aver-
age of •$24.28 for the lot. At the time
they said they mild purchase calves' of
the seme breeding from farmers for len
• to fateen dollars apiece.
What made this difference in price?
Simply the way the calves were 'hand-
led as follows: (1) They were kept dry
and clean, ,witb plenty of fresh, dry
bedding every day, and their quarters'
were kept well disinfected. (2) They
were fed .skim milk; fresh from the sep-
arator after the first ten days, With a
little ground flaxseed and blood -mei? ad-

were fed milk, - morning and evening.
