Who hns not more than once angrily kicked n culf "In tho slat" while try ing to teach It to tnkc Its liquid din ner from n pull lustend of from Its mother's udder In nuture's well ap proved manner? But the new elllclency movement In the business of farming has approved the artificial method of feeding the calves so as to Increase the Income to lie obtained from milking their mothers. Some ingenious son of n farmer seems to hnvo set himself the task of devising some method of mak ing the calf want to drink from the New Calf-Feeder. pall rather than simply, and more or less forcibly, making him drink from it. The result of thnt thinking Is the combination paclller and nurse bottle attachment for milk palls shown In the accompanying drawing. It consists oi a metal lloat carrying n tcatllko at tachment on which may be placed u rubber nipple. This arrangement lets the calf bunt and puck all it wants to, but still forces It to draw Its nourish ment from the pall Insteud of from the maternal udder. All you have to teach It Is to stick its nose downward in stead of upward in order to get hold of the nourishing tent. Farming Busi ness. DAIRY COW AND HER PRODUCT Every Animal In Herd Should Be Tested Annually for Tuberculosis Use Concrete Floors. It Is a good rule to have every cow In n herd tested nt least once a year for tuberculosis. To Insure stendy motion, a separa tor must be fastened to n solid founda tion. A concrete lloor gives this bet ter than anything else. Sometimes lack of exercise causes barrenness In dairy cnttlo. It Is never well to allow the dairy cow to take on much fat. Always give her plenty of exercise. The average cow In full milk flow will consume from 30 to -10 pounds of silage to advantage. Add to this some 10 pounds of dry fodder, and the roughage feed Is complete. Only concrete floors should be per mitted In n dairy barn. They cost more, perhnps, originally, but they are the cheapest In the long run. For one thing, they make It possible to save some of the liquid manure, a very valuable Item. Clemson College Bul letin. SIZE OF DAIRYMAN'S INCOME Noticeable Increase Where Purebred Bulls Are Maintained Scrubs Do Not Pay for Keep. Figures recently compiled by tho University of Illinois seem to show that there Is a deflnlto relation ber tween a good bull and the size of the dairyman's income. On 124 dairy farms where purebred bulls wero kept at tho bend of the dairy herd, the average farm income was $1,102 after deducting tho taxes, Interest on Investment, etc. On 400 dairy farms where a grade bull' stood at the head of tho herd the farm Income was found to be $7114 per year, and on 8.'J farms where scrub bulls were used tho farm Income was .$24:5, or failed by $241! to pay inter est on the Investment, to say nothing about pay for tho owner's time. FEEDING COWS WHOLE BEETS Somewhat Larner Yield of Milk and Milk Fat Obtained Than When They Were Chopped. In a foreign experiment with dairy cows It was found that the feeding of whole beds produced n somewhat larger yield of mill: nnd milk fat than when chopptul beets were fed, this In crease probably being due to more complete mastication nnd utilization. FARMERS' SLICE QUITE THIN Not Much Money Left for Producer After Creamer Man, Railroad and Retailer Get Theirs. By tho time tho creamery man gets his slice out of the milk profits, the railroad nilother slice, the commission man still another nnd the retail deni er his, tho sllco that Is left for the nan who ought to have tho blggo'st nllco of all Is pretty thin.

Cincinnati man tells how to dry up a corn or callus so It lifts off with fingers. You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness nt once nnd soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so It enn bo lifted off, root and all, without pain. A smnll bottle of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but will posi tively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as It Is Inexpensive and Is said not to irrl fate tho surrounding skin. If your druggist hnsn't nny freezone tell him to get n small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. adv. The Hint Sufficient. "Pn, why do you insist on my sing ing when Mr. Uiniley calls?"

"I will glvo you hero a brief sum mary of my cxpcrlcnco slnco coming hero six years ago. I was a new hand at farming, my trade being meat-cut ting and butchering. My cnpltal was $400, which was a first payment on my qunrtcr section (1C0 ncres). Most of my stock, harness, Implements, etc., wero bought nt snles, nil "on time," necessarily. Tho buildings ori tho place wero nbout as good as nothing and had cither to bo rebuilt or replaced entirely. Thero wero 20 ncres broken, and very bndly farmed, bringing poor returns Uio first year." After mentioning a number of mischances, ho says: "In sptto of nil theso drawbacks, I have done well. I consider my farm worth $3,500 to $4,000. I hnve four head of horses, 12 of cattle, over 400 purebred Buff Orpington chickens nnd 125 tur keys, besides Implements, harness, etc., to run my place.

My grnln Is most till used on tho farm except n few hundred bushels sold to the neigh bors for seed. My four milk cows bring In from $50 to $S0 each (counting calf).
