Among the modern iiiiprovemcnts in farming, the dai- 

 ry has of late years, been verj- much neglected. So 

 much of the pr<ifit of breeders depending upon the fa- 

 cility with which the milk of the cow may be reserved 

 during the suckling time of Mie calf, the following sub- 

 stitute, used in Germany, for the natural food of the 

 young progeny, may be acceptable to our country read- 

 ers : 



Let as much water be heated on the fire a'^ *he calf 

 will be disposed to (h uik ; and when it boils, throw one 

 •r two handfuis of oatmeal* into it, and after continuing 

 In that state for one minutC; take it otT, and let it be cool- 

 ed to the tempei atiire of new milk, when one or two 

 pints of skimmed mi^k are to be added to it. With this 

 beverage the young anin^al will fatten and thrive prodi- 

 giously ; the mi'k of the parent will be applied to the dai- 

 ry, and the intelligent farmer will immediately discover 

 the great advantage to be derived in the produce of the 

 dairy from such an expedient. 



* The meal of Indian corn is successfully used for the 

 ame purpose, in some pat ts of the United States.
