Publishers Si a Year in Advance. and one half years old as a spring calf is at three years old. There is a -gain of six months in the age of the calf, the reason or this being that it is weaned off the milk in June, goes on the grass, is fed a little grain or meal all summer, and in the fall it is a good, strong, lusty yearling, and winters much better than a spring calf, which is just weaned in the fall and goes into win- ter. • When a calf is dropped it is not good prestige te allow the cow to fondle and lick her offspring. When the separationdoes take place there is always a disturbance in the cow stable; - the mother gets excited, and some nervous cows remain so for the best part of a week. Better results are ob- tained by removing the new born calf with- out allowing the mother to lick -it. Rub it dry with a wisp of straw, put it into a roomy, dry, warm pen, free from frosts and drafts, and give it no milk for the first twelve heure. When a calf is hungry it is not nearly so ' much trouble to teach it to drink. The firet two weeks it should have a quart of whole milk three times a day, care should be taken that the noon 'milk is warmed to new milk heat. For the next three weeks half a quart of skim milk should be added to the whole milk at each meal. When the calf gets to be five weeks old, diecontinue the noon milk, also the whole milk, giving about three quarts of skim milk twice a day. By this time the stomach will be strong eneugh to assimilate and digest other food. The noon meal should then be pulped roots, chopped oats and well frayed clover hay. If a separator is not used and the milk is set in shallow pane or deep setting cans, it should always be warmed up to new milk heat before being fed. If it is fed oold or too hot it 18 apt to produce bloating and scoure. When , through careless feeding, scouring is allow- ed to become chronic there is no remedy. When a calf is nob doing well break an egg into its milk ; this acts as a tonic and adds strength to its ration. , To supplement the loss of butter fat in milk,take, for twelve calves over two months old, fouroups of flax seed, put it hat° a com- mon stove pob and fill up with water. Do ' this after dinner-nd allow it to simmer all afternoon and evening. Next morning boil smartly for about one half hour, stir in some wheat flour, until the mixture is about the consistency of thin porridge. A calf three months old will take a cup full of this flax seed tea porrildge in its skim milk. The flour is used te• counteract the loosening ef- 4004 of the flax seed. Care must be used at, first not to overfeed but to work up gradu- ally to what I have mentionedewith ?kine milk, flax seed tea, roote chopped °Etta and clover hay, and with comfortable watmens is kept clean and well bedded. Calves on in this way be raised much more profitab e in winter than in summer. When a separator is ueed it is best to skim the froth off the skimmed milk and not feed it to the young calves, especially those under three months old. It has a tendency to disturb the nor- mal action of the stomach, and set u Whenever a calf is scouring re quantity of skim milk. Be carefu the pail from which the calves a clean as possible. With skim right temperature fed out of Pails as yoar milking pails, in not t o large quantities, and fed regularly, there will be bat little trouble from calves sowing. In warm weather calves should Tie kept in during the day time, and turnedednt in the evening. Thus they will avoid tlne hot sun and the flies. Whole or ohopped oats should be fed. A mixture of whole and chopped oats, about a cupful twice a day for an' ordinary sized oaf on good sized pasture, w ficient. For fall feeding until the harvested, there is nothing equal corn run through the cutting box a with some chopped oats. The main point in calf feeding is to never allow them to stop growing, and in case of beef animals keep them in good flesh. In feeding calves as in every system of feeding the extremes of over and under fending are to be avoided. Continuous, regular, liberal feeding always brings the most profit, and the best practical results." • F. W. Honeott' Live StockCommiesioner. • ' The Crop Prospects.
