A correspondent of the Germontmci*

will in brief 1 give you my mode,though ,
I do little at calf raising, on acbouni
of my nearness to Pbiladelphiajwbero
I-can buy cows cheaper than ; I can
raise them, A calf that I anvgoing
to raise I never lot sheik the cow. ft
is much easier to learn it to 1 dritfk
without than after sucking; 1 have
had calves drink alone beford they
worp twelve | hours old; add' after the
second day have but little trouble with
them,* as 1 they drink freely if;in' good
health. Besides, the great advantage
of this; is, tbat .whon thoy are'' thihiJd .
out with the co\Vs they never trouble
them,- neither bavp If to muzzle, them, ,
as they knbw nothing aboht it. 'Pile'
the first two weeks Igivb' them rtilk

comes, ! then I scald a little bran of
f round oats and corn, cake meal,

feeding them three times a day, ma
king‘fresh each time,- 1 Os they do ho k
telisb btale food. TheV wiH'dobn eat

employ an experienced person to at
