done by substituting wnter gradually.
Calves should have fresh, clean water
to drink from babyhood to maturity.
Do uot forget tbe supply o f salt for
the calves. Occasionally put u lump o f
fresh sod in the enlf pen. The calves
seem to enoy a taste o f earth.
It is always well to substitute some­
thing to replace the fat taken from
skimmilk fed to cnlves. When making
the change from whole milk a table-
spoonful of ground oilcake may be
added to the milk. I f flaxseed is used,
and there is nothing better, it should bo
well boiled and from a half cupful to
a cupful o f the Jelly udded to the
warm milk. To mnke the jelly take
one pint of whole flaxseed to four
quarts o f water, add a little salt, soak
overnight nud boil for an hour next
morning. Some put into the milk a lit
tie of the oatmeal porridge made for
breakfast.

through a cutting box aud cut flue,
three pounds per day allowed for a
six-weeks-old calf. It Is then well
boiled, strained and a quarter o f a
pound each o f ground flaxseed and
wheat middlings added for each calf.
It is again boiled and fed at a temper­
ature of 90 degrees. This makes a
nourishing, easily digested food. The
older cattle relish the steeped hay.
A successful dairyman, who sends
his milk all off the farm, uses the fo l
lowing mixture to make a thin gruel, a
substitute for milk: One hundred
pounds ground oilcake, 100 pounds low-
grade flour, twenty-five pounds ground
flaxseed.
lu raising calves it is very unwise to
pour tbe milk into a trough aud let
them all drink together.
Calves should not be exposed to ex­
tremes iu weuther aud are better to
be housed most o f the time for at least
the first six months o f their lives.
The cu'.fs skin is tender and may
blister aud become very sore if ex­
posed to the hot sun. A nice clean
grass paddock develops the muscles
and keeps them in general good health.
When calves sweat badly there is prob­
ably bad ventilation in tbe stable. Give
them plenty o f fresh air, even though

As a rule, it is a good plan to feed
the calf whole milk for the first three
weeks, though there are many strong
ones which would stand the change to
skimmilk at two weeks. At first give
