IlATS1NG CALVES WITHOUT
ATILIC
It is an extremely unwise policy to
feed for veal or for beef the heifer
calves from valuable milking 'cows.
Ther0 (1)0 far too many unprofitable
cows in the country, and the heifer
calves from good milkers ought to
be grown to take the place of their
mothers when their days of useful-
ness shall cense, and also to replace
the poor cows. As 11111k is an arti-
cle of diet in increasing demand,
many farmers aro desirous of getting
the calves off their natural food as
early ns possible, and the problem to
be solved is how to keep and grow
the young animals.
Several excellent calf meals and
mills substitutes are on tho market,
and a man may now sell all his milk
and still raise the calves from his
best cows, so as to build up and
strengthen his own herd, and also
supply bettor material, if ho has it

which is egnaled by no other breed
of canines,
ITE NEVER G1VES UP
as long as life lasts, and it is death
to either himself or the object of his
attack. The savage side of the dog
is aroused by resistance, and he will
seldom bite anyone who docs not of-
fer it unless influenced by the scent
of blood. This trait is proved by
numerous illustraliots where the ani-
1na1 lla8 been used in the Southern
StatOs.
Tho hounds of the pure species
have all unusually long and narrow
forehead, with eyes very large and
soft, while 111 color they are dark,
tan, or fawn. They stand about
two feet above tho ground, Their
legs are short, but powerful, and they
aro not swift -running dogs, although
they have as ,much endurance as any
of the hunting breed. Their scent,
however, is wonderful, and probably
surpasses that of any other variety.
This is shown after they are "brok-
en in" to hunt criminals. The man-
ner of breaking them in the South-
ern States is to select a stretch of
country about a mile long with one
or two small thickets on tho
"course," as 11 is termed. Tho
ground may be a pasture or perhaps
an old cotton field where the earth
is loose. A negro boy who is a
good runner Is bleed or induced in
some other way to take the part of
the runaway. Ito puts on a pair of
shoes o• "brogans," the soles of
which aro rubber with blood from
some animal or a chicken, and is
given a start of about twenty min-
utes. This will oaahle. him easily
to cover the course, at the end of
which is a tree or 501310 other r'ofuge
into which lac can climb and thus
avoid any possibility of being in-
jured by Ole dog. When the. ttaimetl

Even to this day the odor by
which the dog follows a roan is a
subject of discussion anlollg the vet-
eran trainers S n r
So 1a argue that it
comes from the soles of the. feet, and
some saw it is the natural odor of
the body. Others claim, however,
that the loather is especially ad-
hesive, and attempt to prove this
theory by showing that where a fu-
gitive has taken off his shoes the
doge have frequently been delayed
considerably in tracing. As undo'
srich conditions talo moan is liable to
bruise his feet, nod as his blood of-
fers the best scent; it is merely
cho081ng the horse of two evils in
