It dates back to the ancestors 1 and if they were unprofitable • the; chances are that their progeny wi be unprofitable, and vice versa. Hav- ing bred right, the dairyman must start his feeding - when the calf is the embryo stage, by properly car- ing for the Mother, and then be pre- pared to care for and feed the young calf from the time it is dropped, the proper rations required to produce strong, Iuety animal. It is well known that a neglected heifer calf never makes the Most profitable dairy cow. The value of the calf at birth depends largely on its breeding, but the ,feed and care it' receives while young. is an important factor in decicl•ing its -fut- ure usefulness. Whether or not the calf is allotvecl to run with the cow the first t' three days is a natter of cust.rm, but it should receive whole milk for the first two weeks at least and then grad- ually be made accustomed to skim- milk._ The change may be made at the rate of one pound per day, and in- creased until the calf is getting about fifteen pounds of skim -milk per day. Many feeders fail to have their calves do well when fed on skim -milk, and immediately decide that skim -milk is of little value as a feed for calves. Other feeders will point with pride to a thrifty, sleek -looking calf, and be particular to mention that it was raised en skim -milk. Why the differ- ence? The one has neglected to pay attention to keeping the pen clean and dry;'the milk warmed to blood temperature; the pails clean, or the same amount of milk fed at regular intervals. These things are import- ant, and attending to them or not at- tending to them is the difference be- tween success and failure. Skim milk contains all the nutri- ment found in whole milk for the building of bone and muscle. It merely lacks the fat content, which goes to supply heat and energy in the body. This can be supplied by the cereal grains or linseed meal, at a [lower cost than by feeding the fat of milk. Neither whole nor skim -milk is sufficient in itself for the growing calf. The calf should be taught to eat concentrates, as ground or whole oats, linseed meal or bran, also al- falfa or clover hay. By putting ' a little meal in the bottom of the pail after the milk is finished and keeping fresh meal and hay before the calf, it ,will soon learn to eat. After it has If the calf is dropped in the fall it will be able to go on pasture in the 1 spring and look after itself, If it is. a spring calf, it will be best to keep it in the stable or paddock all sum - I mer in order that it may receive at - I tention. As a yearling, the best win- ter quarters will be to run a number of them loose in a large box stall or sheltered shed. It need not be too i tvarnl, as nature will supply them with a coat of hair sufficient to keep ithem warm. Silage, roots and good clover hay, with a little salt and plenty of water, will bring them • through the winter in prime condition. ' The heifers should be bred to drop I their first calf at about thirty- months I, of age, and then milked as near the !full year as possible, it being claim - led that a heifer that is only milked seven or eight months the first lact- ation period' will have a tendency to go dry in succeeding years after milking about that length- of time. 1 It is. a good plan • to frequently handle the heifer before she freshens' the first . time. .. Less trouble will l then be experienced in getting her ac- customed to being milked. As the dairy animal is more or less of a nerv- ' ous disposition, kindness at all times is essential if the highest returns are ' to be secured. The cow will also give a larger flow of milk throughout the year if fed and mrlked at regular rn tervals.—Farmer's Advocate. face of a strong, good-humored boy. ; asked Scarborough, more for the sake ==you haven't said whether you'll go infection.

A calf six weeks old will usuaI- ly eat from one-half to one pound of concentrates per day. An important point is to keep the feed box, pen and pails perfectly clean. With proper attention along with suitable grains and roughage, a thrifty calf should gain from one -and -one-half. to two pounds per day. The aim should not be to fatten the calf,• but to keep it in a vigorous, growing condition, Good Stable Arrangement. Owing to the scarcity of efficient farm help and also to lessen the cost of winter milk production, we have found it necessary to have the stable equipped as_ conveniently as possible. in our _stable the cows stand in two ' rows, running lengthwise of the I stable, both rows being fed from the same alley, which I think reduces the work of feeding a great deal. 'We have a silo at each end of the feed al- ley, 'the silage being thrown directly from the silo into a feed truck and from this is pitched into the man- gers. f The different grains are mixed in • the granary overhead, coming down a chute into another feed truck, which can be wheeled to wherever re- quired, thus doing this part of the feeding with as few unnecessary steps as possible. The cattle are wa- tered from individual basins, which are supplied from a tank in the barn, i um ed to this with d the water be ng p p small gasoline engine. The stable being reasonably wide gives ample room behind each row of • cows to drivet hrough with the ma- nure spreader, and•in this way the manure is hauled directly to the field and spread with very littleextra labor. By using these few conveniences, an abundance of light, good ventila- tion, and punctuality, winter dairy- ing becomes more of a pleasure than a drudge. --Gordon Harrison in Farm and Dairy. 1101 ,'111f1111l11111 ;tett 1 l, z z u> *s' `•l marl p !tel o t l 's 11�ili11i1l11111J1J111iiii !I!l�II!liliiii���: tait 0000 Why bear those p ns ?

"I've been with the Russians in any numberof retreats and evaeuations. Those are the circumstances under which you test the real character of men, not under victorious circum- stances. I watched the troops. They lacked ammunition; supplies failed; losses were tremendous. But never was there any demand for peace without victory, never any thought of it. There are two fundamentals in - the character of the Russians, loyalty to their religion and loyalty to their race, the Slay. They fight for Russia and then they fight for the Czar." Grand Duke's Leaving. Mr Washburn was asked what brought about the reorganization of , the Russian army. - "You mean the Grand Duke's leav- sr in?" he asked. "That was a cul- mination of - a - lot of things. One,$ that the Czar is sentimental. I, wanted to go to the front himself. He wanted to do that at first, but it didn't seem advisable. After the army - was beaten back and back he felt that his place was at the , army's head. "Then cane a definite reason. Af- ter Warsaw fell there came an in- sidious propaganda for a separate peace for Russia; perhaps it was fostered by Germans. Anyway the rumor spread. It was getting dan- gerous because it might get back to the army, where, of course, it would be demoralizing to the troops. So the Czar went to the front and took his little boy to show the people that he staked his dynasty on Russian success. "The Czar is an intelligent man," he said. "You hear many strange things about hint over here, deroga- tory things. But he is an intelligent man and a sincere man, He is more intelligent than the Grand Duke, but he hasn't the `punch' that the Grand ei Duke has." Born Diplomat.
