So man cun make a success of dairying who does not take good cure of his calves. Do not haul waste products back to the farm from the cream ery In the same cans used for de- llvering milk. Hearty eaters are most to be desired for cows, and they may usually be selected while they are calves. You will find a dainty calf to be a dainty cow.

Watson in the National Stockman. It does not follow that one should devote all his time to them or cover his farm with such animals. He should, bow ever, keep two or more strictly first class mares. As a general rule, it may be said that one-half of the farm teams should be draft mares. If one-half the farm teams are mares and the same are properly taken care of, never again will it be necessary to buy horses for the teams and In the course of time there will be horses to sell. In such a prospect the quality of dam should have careful attention, as the raising of horses is not a matter of months, but of years, and results are determined largely by the choice of dam und of course by proper mating. it is not supposed that the colts are raised for market, but for home use, and when thus used they will be even more profitable, not altogether in dol lars, but largely in the pleasure of hav ing just what is wanted on the farm. Those who don't raise but buy their farm horses must pay large profits and take chances. It takes a big mare to raise big horses, and certainly she Is worth her ana wnusw price for work and breeding it sfie or a gelding like her is worth a similar fig ure for work alone. The man with the mare has an advantage over every one else in tbe horse business. He gets tbe double return on his investment SHage For the Bull. The. feeding of corn silage-judiciously to a herd bull does, not injure his prepotency. It is true of corn silage as of any other food, if the animal is overfed injury of one kind or another will result Corn silage should pro vide only a portion of tbe animal's ra tion. All animals demand a certain amount of dry food dally, therefore hay should be fed In conjunction with silage for roughage. In addition to this, especially in breeding season, the herd bull should have a light ration of foods conducive to the upbuilding of condition and stamina. Such foods are bran, oilmen! and ground oats. Where corn slhiKe Is fed as a small portion of the ration for tbe purpose of supplying succulence rather than food nutrients it is one of the most valuable feeds for all kinds of breeding animals. Sheep Pay For Care. To secure the best returns from sheep raising it is not necessary to keep them exclusive of all other live stock, but a small flock, just what can conveniently bp accommodated along with other farm animals and given the best of care.
