produce greater quantities of milk and
butterfat at a lower cost.
On the dairy farm it is the cows,
that are the money Makers, and the
way we feed and care for our-Scalves
is the cornerstone upon which vtee
build up our dairy buoinese. If we are
interested in getting good calves we
must begin by feeding the mother a
proper ration, of good nutritious bone,
blood and nmacie-building foods. If
these foods are withheld she cannot
mroduce calves that are large and
vlgoroue and possess strong constitm
tions. We make a serious mistake
when we think of the cow as a milk -
producing machine rather than a
mother. It does not pay to leave her
out in the cold, to exercise in a chill-
ing wind and confine her to a ration
of straw, inferior hay and fodder and
expect her to. bring us a robust calf
and give a profitable flow of milk -dun
ing the year. The unborn calf suffers
in the same proportion es the cow that
is carrying it when such conditions -
prevail
Many cases of -abortion, milk fever,
garget, or a calf lawn weak and poor-
ly developed in some way are the di-
rect result of mismanagement on the
part of the owner of the cow. Wo
must come to realize that to nourish
an unborn calf and keep her own body
supplied constitutes a heavy drain on
the—o-ow's syslrem. Hence, the neces-
sity of furnishing her with a properly
balanced ration containing home-
grown grain feeds properly supple -

am a great sticker for corn in the ra-

seems to havet special value in build-

With 0441 2, It was found that the pro-
teins in corn were particularly valu-
uble in supplementing the proteins in

sveliderful results in insuring strong-
er and more thrifty calves.

Beheld by the calves and gives good re-
sults, especially when their other
feeds contain plenty of digestive pro•
toin. The.use of roughage in the calf's
ration should be encouraged as it
tends to bnlarge the digestive organs
and enables them to make better use
of their grain feeds.
Keeping the feeding palls and pens
clean is another important factor in
rasing healthy calves. A. little time
spent in petting and fussing with the
calves and teaching them to lead la'
time well spent as it will be easier to
train thein when they are ready to
take their place in the herd. And
when the time comes that they aro
ready to be milked they will not be
afraid of you and have to have their
legs strapped to prevent them from
Itickleg.
When to breed the young heifers le
another important question that has
an influence upon their futere useful-
ness in the herd. If they bave been
properly fed and cared for they may
safely be bred for their first calf so
that they will freshen when trey are
from twenty-four to thirty months of
age. Sonre excellent breeders. prefer
to breed them early and give them a
good, long, growing period between
their first and second freshening, A
heifer that freshens when she is twen-
ty-four months of age aucl is given a
period of five months before she is
again bred will make a good growth
and have a tendency to milk for a
longer lactation period than is the
case when she Is bred back too soon
and not given time to build up a more
vigorous. body.
Secret of Raising Every Chick.
The eg'g from which a chick is to
cone must be from strong, healthy,
vigorous stock, properly fed and ear-
ed for, so that the egg contains all
the elements and strength to produce
a 'vigorous chick.
It must be properly incubated to
produce such a chick, which means
that during its twenty-one days of
incubation the egg must have exactly'
the proper degree of. heat—not•just
about the proper degree of heat. Too
high a temperature.is one of the main
causes of diarrhea in chicks. Too
low a temperature, especially the
first week, is the main -cause of de-
formed chicks and cripples and either
too low or too high a temperature
means chicks that will not live.
The egg chamb.01 in which eggs are
hatched must also contain exactly the
proper degree of humidity. Not to
supply moisture to the egg, as some
people say, but to supply Moisture
to' the air of the erg chamber, so that
the exact amount of evaporation from
the egg talteS place. Moisture can
in no way be sapplied to the egg. Too
much or too rapid evaporation means
little, puny, weak chicks. Too little
or too slow evaporation means chicks
too large to free themselves, e'hd they
die in the shell. '
The -egg chamber lutist also be
ventilated—never from the bottom.
No matter what kind of .incubateis
run, if, it has an open bottom, or if
it has ventilators in the 'bottom, or
any crevices in which the air can leak
out through the bottom, :far better:
results will always be obtained if'
these openings are entirely closed.
Bottom' ventilation means crippled
and deformed chicks. .
Chicks that aro hatched under the
above conditions after exactly twenty-
one days of incubation, should be
given comfortable 'sleeping quaeters—
never more than fifty chicks 'together,
and not where there is any artificial
heat, but where the heat from their
bodies will keep thein 'comfortable,
and where it is dark. They must bo ,
properly fed. Given such conditions„"
one is able to raiee every chick so
bate -bed -
I °
Like little children or like young 8
animals, chicks must hays lots of
sleep to Olive and grow and do well.
It is not the heat. supplied to chicks
that furniehes the results of yvhat
we call brooding, but the heat ,
brooding induces sleep.. Little chicks,
if put in comfortable, dark comport- aa
tents several times a day, especially °
after each meal, 'so they will sleep,
will live, grow and thrive.. Such a
compartment is 'called a fireless
brooder.

1 was sitting on the porch of a
country 'house one evening last sum-
mer, .when so automobile stopped at

ning in town or at their homes, the
people do better work, being, more

Surely this is proof that considerde

long way in solving the help question.

Rabbits as -
'Nowadays any sideline that will
belp reduce living expenses is worthy
of serious attention. In this oonnee-

kept hi almost any baokyard'and usu-
ally require less room and are cheaper
tO feed than poultry. They are also
rapid multipliers azul a few breeders
will keep' an average -sized family
well supplied with meat.
A. small start can be made with only
one or two does,. We prefer either
purebred Belgians hakes or a cross be-
tween a Belgian hare doe and Flem-
ish Giant buck. For a beginner the
best way is to buy a doe. already bred
and get her from a reliable breeder.
If she can have a small range she will
pick up most of her food. Weeds, dap -
daltons, plantain, etc., are all good
foods. Any green stuff from the gar-
den, such as lettuce, cabbage, carrot
taps, mustard, parsley', and turnip tops
may be utilized to advantage.
The supplied feed should be a hand-
ful of good oats to each rabbit at
night, While just before ahe is due the
doe should have, a warm 1)144811 in the
morning—at least in cold- weather—,

for this purpose. In the winter, when
green stuff cannot be procured, rab-
bits readily eat dry clover or alfalfa
hay, One can buy a bate at any feed
store and feed 'It a Httle at a time.
Bach doe should have a hutch at
least five feet long, two feet wide and
two feet high, This allows this should
be divided off and. closed in the front,
so as to form m
a sleeping copartment.
The front of the run can simply be fine

The hutches may be 1)14400(1 in tiers
of two or three high, when desired,
the best place for them being inside
an old shed or outhouse. Rabbits can
stand a great deal of cold, but if their
hutches are out in the open it is best
to put them in Eta Sheltered a position
as possible and, see that the top is
thoroughly waterproof.
Give each doe plenty of short bed-
ding, With which she Cita make her
nest. It is best not to be inquisitive
about the little family when it Ilrst ar-
rives, as the mother usually resents in-
terference and we have 20(1)1(1 most of
them quite capable of managing their
offspring without assisance—at least
for the first two or three weeks. Lit-
ters usually run front three to ten in

We have found it best to wean at six

Machinery is valuable in cutting
fireweed and especially valuable now,
when in many localities there is need
to scam all the coal possible. Ma-
chinery speeds up wood -cutting, and
means more wood and therefore more
coal saved.
A buzz -saw on a dragssaw will cut
severaltimes as 44181-4111 wood in a dayi
as can be cut by hand and will do it
-much more easily. Wood -sawing nma

A mother cannot begin too early to
train herlittle one. Before the child
is old enough to understand worcle be
underetande the difference between
her miles and frowns and by the ex-
pression of her face she can. teach
even a little baby the difference be-

take the habit of pulling the table

and shake her head with "No, no." She

Of course there are times when

sary, and v/heti parents need to cor-

A very effective form of punish -

excuse a child front the room and
make him slt facing a corner in an-
other room by himself; at another
time send Min 10 becl early; at an-
other, have him eat his meal alone,
away from the other- members of

Auother form of discipline Is to make
a child go without something of which

or no candy for several days are pun-
ishments which have a good effect.
But to lock a child in a dark closet

Growing Onions at Home
in "Mid -Winter.
It happened that one winter some
onions which were beginning to grew
were carelessly thrown upon an 11e11
heap jn the corner of the collar,
These took root, seeing wh1011, we wa-
tered them, and soon there were an
abundance of delicious tender onions
several inches in length .stretching
toward the light of the window
above. Thus the table was furnished
with fresh, young onions the rest of
the winter, and proved so acceptable
that since that time we have regular.
ly,., planted onions each winter in asb
Ilexes in the cellar, occasionally wat-
ering them, and with uniform good
results. As a crisp table garnishing

recommend the plan to others.
Ways 'to Keep Your Dog
Well and Train Him Right
A good healthy dog should heve no
more diseases than a well-caeed-for
horse. Worms are usually present 111
puppies when you get them, and a
teaspoonful of syrup . of buckthorn
once. a week will rid him of thein.
Watch his feces when you take hiin for
a walk, as they are a certain. Indica-
tion of his general health. If too
tight, add more vegetable table ocraps;
if too loose, he Is getting improper
food, and you need more biscuit and
should cut out the vegetables for a
while.

Distemper is the,great dreaded dis-
ease of dogdom. It is very like typhoid
in a human, and conies from his
entailing posts and trees, that have been
patronized by. dogs who have had it.
Never take'your pup to town if you can
help it, particularly in April, May and
June. If, hOWeVer, he gets it, it will
make its appearance with a high fever

for a puppy; at four to eight months,

called, walking quietly beside you

Roaming, and -disobeying at what
the dog considers n safe distance, can
be checked with an 'air rifle. The
dog soon learns that once out of you:
reach you have no power to punish
his disobedience, but an air rifle,
ciously used to enforce commands,
will cure that, and make him fear to
, incur your displeasure as far as he
can see you. If you have an unfenced
truck garden or flower beds on the
place, it will probably be necessary
to keep the dogs penned up when not
t., out with you or the children. No
scheme of tying a dog by a leash or a
running line, such as a ring strung ori
la taut wire, seems to work. He will
always avind himself up around any
1 fixed point of attachment, and if tied
by a ring to an overhead line will sit
at the house thereof and howl. •But
a yard of his own, even a small one,
10g20 feet, of • chicken wire, will do
well enough. It is the leash that the
dog objects to, and most hounds will
bite it in two. To keep a dog chain-
ed -to a kennel is surely a condign
form of punishment.
Another and most serious fault in
all dogs is'the propensity to fight. No
more senseless thing to do can be
imagined than to encourage the fight-
ing dog to attack other dogs. Head
off this tendency in puppyhood, and
keep your dogs out of fights—if you
wish future peace of mind. Chasing
chickens is another bad habit not to
be tolerated about a farm, In the fall
the chickens should run tree about the
premises, and Mr. Dog is to let them
severely 4Clone. One two-day cession
with a dead chicken bung about his
neck will cure the most ardent,
