ERINGING UP CALVES. tlllk la the Hi-Hi Itll-Aronnd Knoil.Ilut it la ii,- , Means iniiinpeui- nlile .Mvadn'M. In the admirable paper on rearing and feeding commercial cattle, which , he read recently at UlaagoW, W. S. Fer guson declared that milk was the only proper food for young calves. .None of the several so-called substitutes, in j his opinion, could efficiently take Its ' place. Naturally this somewhat sweep ing statement has not been allowed to I pass unchallenged. Farmers, as well as others closely Interested, dispute the accuracy of the assertion, and are toady With practical evidence of the utility of the artificial calf foods. Mr. Ferguson would probably have been correct had he merely stated that milk was llie beat foo'd for young cuives, but to say thai milk is the only calf fooil und that it could not be iidvnutngeously substituted, is to assume more thun tho facts warrant. Milk admittedly may make the best calves, but that does not necessarily mean that it is the most economical food to use In calf rearing. The point ns to what method of rear ing is the befct one to adopt, like so many other selections which the former is culled on to make, depends largely oa the market value of the different ar ticles. A good outlet for new milk may easily render it a prohibited article for calf rearing, but, contrary to what Mr. Ferguson's assertion would imply, thnt does not mean that milk selling and calf rearing are Impossible pursuits or im practicable on the one farm. Thanks to the several tinely balanced and wholesome artificial preparations on the market the farmer may sell his milk when prices advise that course and yet continue to rear good rent paying calves. In short, milk, if the best of articles, is ant now indispensable, and may not be the most prolitublc food for calves. i.i miii in Chronicle, 1'eni'li luu ColeS to Drink. Nature teaches the calf to turn Its mouth upward to get Its food. The un willingness of the calf to put its head down Into a pail is the result of instinct. Some have thought to offset this in stinct by never allowing the ciilf to suck its dam even once. Dut we think this injures the calf. It needs stimulation when first born, und should be allowed to get it in the way most natural to it. In sucking the teat the milk cornea slowlv, and a (rood deal of saliva Is "llxe1 '1tn ll- !illt after once sucking its dam the calf should be tuucht to o drink oul of n pall and to put its head lwn when eating. It will need to be pretty hungry to do this readily, and the finger should be used, placing it first in the calf's mouth, and then put ting the finger into tho milk. So soon ns the culf gets fairly to drinking the finger should lie withdrawn. Ameri can Cultivator.

FATTENING STOCK. iVcilinu XltroKcnons Fooiln In Can nvetlon willi turn Is the Mnsl Beteatlfle By steal. The writer does not believe in fining the diet of fattening animal- tirely to corn, except, perhaps, durio the lust week or two of life. Corn i too carbonaceous to enploy nlone. H feeding nitrogenous foods in conncfl tion with com we are following n m reasonable and scientific method, bm are Biire of securing increased weifl us well as better quality of meat ;:ro uets. Clover and alfalfa are the icle forage crops for sheep, hogs and ciittla nnd young animals in general cannd have a better life than to run upon pafl tures, upon which these leguminuul plants are making thrifty growth; tlie mature stock prepurinir for till hsmbles should also get plenty clover or ulfaifu (either green or drta into hay), in connection with their i tious of grain. There can lo no doubt but thnt bee IB with reu.sonublc feeds of clover will I ublu to digest more corn and do it I better purpose than if corn nlone we fed them while fattening. Furthermore, I would always bran nnd linseed or cottonseed D to mix with the corn meal, that is, wl ever prices would admit of BUchametN od of procedure. That such is betted than the feeding of simple corn or cor meul does not udmit of any doubt, sim the bran not only contains protein!! but also ixjssesses such mcehuniialB lightness us to separate the pnrtji'li'S of the heavier meul and allow the pri ess of digestion to proceed more easily J rapidly und thoroughly.
