MANAGING THE CALF.
Lof of Valuable Information Con*
denned for the Ileneflt of Uumjt
Farm lieadera.
To make him pay, the calf requires
careful handling, lie starts life with
a baby stomach. To overfeed him is
to invite failure. It usually makes
liim scour. This stops growth and
perhaps kill him, making loss in
either ease. If he doesn't scour he
bloats with poisonous gas generated
by the surplus food he cannot di
gest, and the "pot-bellied" calf with
staring coat is a long time recover
ing from unthrifty conditions and
starting to grow.
Don't let a calf drink daily until
he can drink no more. Find out his
capacity and then give a quarter less
than his limit. If he can he forced
to drink it slowly, thus mixing the
saliva with it, so much the better.
For this reason a calf feeder is a
good thing. Food is eaten to he di
gested. The saliva -well distributed
in the food while in the mouth is
the »;-reat ag'ent of digestion. A pail
hung up well above the calf, tow hich
the milk is brought through .1 small
hose partly stopped, so he can get
the milk but slowly, is an invaluable
aid in successful feeding, either for
raising or the block. But such a
contrivance must be cleansed daily
in boiling water or it will prove a
death trap. The milk remaining in
the pail and tube will putrefy and
produce a germ disease similar to
cholera infantum, which destroys so
many babies and originates in food
vessels and bottles imperfectly
cleansed.
The calf is a valuable newcomer,
provided it is handled right. In the
calf, the dairy cow has her begin
ning-. To raise the best heifer calves
for the dairy or sale is politic. Every
other calf should be made into vea!
or "baby beef" as soon as possible.
The man who destroys a calf for
its pelt to-day is considered a poor
tnanager.
Xeep the calf pen dry and whole
pome at all times. If there be any
odor about it carry in a peek of dry
earth and spread it on a few quarts
of land plaster. If sweet milk or
whey cannot he got for every day's
feed, accustom the calf to sour drink
and do net give any that is sweet.
Calves do just as well on sour milk
as on sweet. Uniform quality of food
is what is required. If butter or
cr-im is being sold ere can easily
Vunke veal at the same time by care- |
fully observing the above rules and
adding to skim milk a slowly increas
ing ration of whole flaxseed jelly.
Thus one herd of cows may return
double profits by producing butter
and veal at the same time.
To teach the calf to drink, hold the
pr.il in one hand. As soon as the calf
will suck your fingers turn your hand
under its jaw, and its nose will fol
low your fing-ers to the milk. Calves
should be treated to dry dust and
salt, as this regulates their digestive
organs and keeps them from scour
ing.—Farm Journal.

Adulteration Lcgallj' Defined.
The supreme court of lowa has re
cently decided that any substance
added to milk is an adulteration. Ac
cording to this decision it makes no
difference whether the buyer knows
•what he is buying or not, or whether
he knows that the substances added
to the milk are wholesome or un
wholesome, such addition constitutes
adulteration. This is a most whole
some decision and ought to be the rule
of law in all the .states in the union.—

REAL ESTATE VALUES.
Larerlj' lncren*rd by Improved
Honda anil Trolley*, llotli ol
Which Srutlrr Population.
Tn our travels through many of the
medium-sized cities of the different
states, says Henry I, Budd, commis
sioner of public roads of New Jersey,
in his seventh annual report recently
issued, we have found real estate
men testifying that receipts from
rents of resident property near the
centers of these cities had declined
from one-third to one-half, while
property miles out in the suburban
districts was in demand and increas
ing in value. They have invariably
attributed these results to the good
roads and trolleys. These are evi
dently scattering populations, and
will, 110 doubt, in the future relieve
the congestion of our large cities.
I'eople are finding that they can be
quickly transported to these distant
sections, where they can have the
benefit of pure air and country sur
rounding's, with all the ennobling in
fluences of nature. Road improve
ment, by which people can enjoy rap
id and smooth communication, prom
ises to be the problem that will settle
many of the evils of our congested
cities.
The more the people who have
been inhabiting the thickly settled
portions of our cities, with only nar
row streets and miles of brick and
mortar to greet their daily vision,
learn of the uplifting tendency of
rural surrounding's, the more they
will labor to take advantage of them.
They find country living much cheap
er. They find they can have gardens
to cultivate vegetables, fruits and
flowers. They learn that their chil
dren will not be subjected to the con
taminating' influences of a miscel
laneous population. By these aids the
enervating tendencies of overcrowd
ed populations will be arrested. The
state and nation, by the moral and
mental improvement of the families,
will be made very much stronger.
Crime will be lessened. The expenses
of government will be decreased; in
fact, it is difficult to estimate the
benefits that improved highways are
giving to our different communities.
Rural life becomes daily less and less
isolated. Free rural mail delivery
follows the track of these hard roads,
and thus the whole farm life is
brought in quick touch with all our
great centers.
When improved roads become gen
eral. the tendency to cluster in great
cities will be arrested, and thus
honest municipal g-overnment be
made possible.—X. Y. Tribune. •

A cr.rt is a great convenience in
garden and general field work, espe

the bed and bolt it on the axle. Bolts
are shown at b b, b. This cart can
be constructed very cheaply, as a
very pood old buggy axle can be ob
tained for 50 cents or cheaper and an
o!d pair of wheels that are not quite
good enough to be safe on the buggy
can be repaired and made to last a
long 1 time on the cart. T>y having
the axle bent as in the above illus
tration, the cart will not upset nearly
as easily nor will it be so hard on
the wheels, as the load is much low
er. As a rest, a swing drop-stick can
be attached to the front board.—P. T.
Webster, in Farm and Home.
DAIRY AND LIVE STOCK.
Don't feed the dairy calf a ration
that will give it the habit of laying on
fat.
It is all right to do all in your power
to increase the price of butter and
milk; but let us not spend so much
time talking about it that we lower
•-he grade of our products. The very
best way to bring tip the value of an
article is to make it so g-ood that
everybody will want it, no matter at
what cost.
Swine must be given ample exerciso
and plenty of succulent food if they
are to remain healthy and vigorous.
A good clover pasture should be pro
vided, followed by peas during mid
summer. In the fall rape and clover
furnish good pasture. Mature ani
mals not suckling young nee.l nothing
in addition to this green food.—Farm

Wolf lluntinK in Xebraakn,
Wolf hunting is fast beajrtning a
necessity as well as a pastfrne to the
farmers living a few miles north of
Creighton, Neb. Not only the com
mon coyote, but also the <arger
species known as the gray wolf, is
the cause of their trouble, several
farmers having lost hogs and young
calves. The marauders are very bold,
coining within a few feet of the door,
eve", in daylight, and then seizing a
fowl, soon disappear over a neighbor
ing hilltop.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1901.
WESTERN CANADA'S DECEM
BER WEATHER EQUAL TO
THAT OF MAY IN MIN
NESOTA.
To the Editor:
Thomas Regan and C. Collins, of
Eden Valley, Minnesota, went out to
Western Canada last December as dele
gates, to look over the grazing and
grain lands that are being offered at
such low prices and reasonable terms.
This is what they say:
"We arrived in Calgary about the 20th
December and although we had left
winter in Minnesota and Manitoba,
we were surprised to find beautiful
warm weather at this point,quite equal
to what we have in May in Minnesota.
There was no snow nor trace of winter
to be seen, and the climate was really
•splendid. Horses, cattle and sheep
•were running out, in prime condition,
■with plenty of feed on the prairie, and
really better than that of ours stabled
in the south. We are impressed with
this country as one of the finest mixed
farming countries we have ever seen.
The immense tracts of fertile lands,
well sheltered and abundantly wa
tered, leave nothing to be desired.
Leaving Alberta we returned east
and visited the Yorkton district in
Assiniboia. We drove out about ten
miles at this point and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples of
grain we were able to see, wheat yield
ing 25 bushels, oats 00 bushels. Roots
were also good specimens. From what
we have seen, we have decided to
throw in our lot with the Yorktoners
—satisfied that this part of the coun
try will furnish good opportunities
for anyone anxious to make the best
of a really good country. Any agent
of the Canadian Government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere in
the columns of your paper will give
you full particulars of the new dis
tricts being opened out this year in
Assiniboia and Saskatchewan.
Yours truly.

perhaps to do it. —Boston Transcript.

Rrmorknbln Poiver,
A dear old lady was taken one dsy
to a musical service in a Bostou
church. She had heard much about
tbt* fine voice of the soprano, and
was prepared for a treat.
She sat iu rapt enjoyment until
the service was over, and then turned
a radiant face toward her escort,
who was a young grandson.
"Dear boy," she said, "you've given
me a great treat. Her voice is per
fectly beautiful. It made cold chills
run all up and down my spine."
"It's too bad, grandmamma," said
the boy, "but she didn't sing to-day, I
though she was there. The gentle- |
man next me says she's been suffer- .
ing from a bad cold, and one of the j
chorus had to sing the solos for her," |
"What, dear?" said the old lady, I
looking momentarily distressed.
Then her face cleared, and she pat
ted his arm reassuringly.
"Never you mind," she said. "We
can come again some time; but after
all. if she can make me feel that way j
without singing, I don't know as
'twould be wise for me to hear her,
now would it?"
