DEVELOPING THE YOUNG CALF. 
In Ills article, “The Heifer at Mother¬ 
hood,” E. S. Brigham says, “but never turn 
her out until she is a yearling.” Will he 
tell us what he does with his calves until 
they arc yearlings? mrs. r. 
The calves are kept in pens in the 
calf barn until they arc yearlings. These 
pens are about eight feet square, and 
are equipped with feeding rack for hay 
and with little stanchions in which the 
calves are tied while they are eating 
their milk and grain. The pens have 
cement floors which are well covered 
with bedding, and are cleaned frequent¬ 
ly. I have tried turning six months’ old 
calves out to pasture, but even though 
feed was abundant they were annoyed 
so by flies that they grew poor, and in 
the end I am sure I was the loser. 
While all that is said about using a reg¬ 
istered sire of good breeding is true, 
we must not think that this alone will 
win success in the production of good 
cows. We must care for the young 
things so that every possibility in them 
in developed. I believe that the best 
bred calf in the world can be ruined 
by improper care during the first two 
years of its life. e. s. brigham. 
IS INBREEDING SAFE? 
from that herd. Unfortunately he was 
discarded before his stock had a chance 
to show what they were. The other calf 
made a good bull, was sold some distance 
away, and I never saw any of his get, 
but think they were all right, as no com¬ 
plaints came back. We are now using 
Glenside Hero 292228; he is by English 
Duke 265519, a son of Imported Duke 
Buttercup 160769, and out of Dairy Maid 
by Duke Buttercup 2d, uam Belle of 
Glenside by Cecil Palmer 133376 3d, dam 
Margaretta Clay by Henry Clay 112291. 
The dam of English Duke is Lady Clare 
5th, by Cecil Palmer 2d, darn Lady Clare 
3d, by Henry Clay. You will see he has 
on both* sides practically the same blood 
for three generations, Duke Buttercup- 
Cecil Palmer-Henry Clay. He is a very 
rugged masculine animal, and the quality 
of his first crop of calves indicates that 
he is a safe one to use. 
In experimenting with swine and poul¬ 
try I have invariably had good success 
when due care was used in the matings, 
for it is the law of heredity that like be¬ 
gets like, and if you use stock with good 
strongtpoints you will rarely if ever fail 
to produce something as good as the 
parents, and many times the progeny will 
be a great improvement on the parent 
stock. It is better anyway if you have a 
superior sire to give him a fair trial on 
his own daughters than to throw him 
The question that often confronts the 
farmer who has put money into a pure¬ 
bred sire and has daughters of his that 
are of breeding age, is “Shall I send him 
to the butcher for a small part of what 
he cost, or use him on his offspring, and 
get two or three more years use of him 
before discarding?” My own experience 
and observation with Short-horn cattle 
convinces me that it is admissible and in 
some instances advisable to inbreed, es¬ 
pecially if you have a sire that is a 
strong, vigorous masculine-looking ani¬ 
mal that stamps his good qualities on a 
majority of his offspring. The late. 
George Butts of Manlius, N. Y., at one 
time had at the head of his herd of 
Short-horns, the bull Apricot’s Gloster 
2500, which he bred to one of his daugh¬ 
ters. The produce was a heifer which in 
due time, was bred to her sire. The pro¬ 
duce of this union was a bull calf which 
having three crosses from Apricot’s Glos¬ 
ter was named Treble Gloster 7331, and 
when of a suitable age he was placed at 
the head of the herd. He developed into 
a bull of sufficient quality to win first 
prize at the New York State Fair over 
the 2d Duke of Oneida, a bull that sold 
away. All of our wild animals from the 
buffalo down are more or less inbred, 
and they all breed true to type every time 
without fail, and many of them seem to 
be persistent and prolific breeders.

Strained Tendons. 
What treatment for strained tendons 
just above ankle in horse? n. e. b. 
At the outset a plaster of Paris cast is 
the best treatment for a bad case of sprain 
or break down of the back tendons (flexors) 
of the legs. If the case is of compara¬ 
tively long standing it will be necessary 
to have the hair removed and the parts 
repeatedly blistered at intervals of three 
or four weeks until strong; or if the lame¬ 
ness is severe it is better to have the ten¬ 
dons line-fired and blistered by a veteri¬ 
narian. A long rest is necessary, a. s. a. 
Thin Horse. 
I have a trotting mare; she is run 
down. I have treated her in every way I 
know, but I cannot bring her up in flesh. 
Is there anyone who can tell me what to 
do? She will not shed out nor pick up 
in flesh. She has a good appetite and 
eats all I give her, but it does not appear 
to do her any good. h. h. b. 
Pennsylvania. 
Have the horse clipped at once and the 
teeth attended to by a veterinary dentist. 
These measures alone may be all that is 
required to improve matters ; but we would 
also give half an ounce of Fowler’s solu¬ 
tion of arsenic night and morning until 
the animal is in good shape, and then 
gradually discontinue the medicine. Feed 
oats, bran and best of hay. a. s. a. 
at the great New York Mills sale for 
$12,000. Mr. Butts went further in his 
experiments and bred Treble Gloster to 
his own dam, the produce being a heifer. 
He bred this heifer to her sire. The re¬ 
sult of this union was a heifer which 
Col. Morris pronounced the equal of any¬ 
thing he saw in England, after inspecting 
the best herds in that country. We used 
on our own herd for four years a bull 
called Gestor’s Gloster 10134, bred by 
Mr. Cass, a neighbor of Mr. Butts, sired 
by Treble Gloster with dam and grand- 
dam both sired by Apricot’s Gloster. He 
got a fine lot of strong healthy calves, 
and was in use until he was nine years 
old, and weighed 2100 pounds when sold. 
These bulls were all of a very vigorous 
masculine type with quite heavy horns. 
We had at the head of our herd a few 
years ago the dairy-bred bull Milkman 
104431, from the Spencer herd. He was 
a very fine-boned bull with a head and 
horns like a steer, and when sent to 
market brought the highest price of any 
bull sold in New York that season. I 
bred him to some of his daughters with 
very disappointing results. Later we had 
Captain Clay 118308, an inbred bull from 
the Spencer herd, his sire being Dairy¬ 
man 107009, a son of Kitty Clay 3d, his 
dam a daughter of Kitty Clay 4th. He 
was a masculine type with a good heavy 
horn. I bred him on two of his daugh¬ 
ters. The calves were both bulls; one 
went to head a herd of purebreds, and 
got some of the best stock that ever came

Tubular on facts. 
It is very easy to make agents and 
makers of common cream separators 
squirm. If they claim their disk-filled or 
otherwise complicated machines are sim¬ 
plest or easiest to clean, just you smile 
and remind them that 
Sharpies Dairy Tubular 
Cream Separators 
have neither disks nor other contraptions. 
If they claim their common machines skim 
closest, smile again and remind them that 
Sharpies Dairy Tubulars develop twice the 
skimming force, and that skimming force 
does the work. If they claim their many 
piece machines are most durable, smile 
some more and remind them that many 
parts mean rapid wear. When you see 
how common sense and smiles make 
agents for common separators squirm, 
you’ll not want a common machine. 
Tubulars are The World’s Best. World’s 
biggest separator works. Branch factories in 
Canada and Germany. Sales exceed most, if 
not all, others combined. Probably replace more 
common separators than any one maker of such 
machines 
sells.

Combined Churn and Butter Worker 
gives the most exhaustive churning' of any dairy size churn. 
It churns a little cream or all it will hold. It works thor¬ 
oughly all of the butter secured by the churning and incorporates the salt 
and moisture perfectly. 
It is easy to clean, because there are no loose heads, journals, stuffing boxes or 
other places that are hard to get at. The butter stays all in one piece so it i3 
easy to take out. Shelves on the side of the churn work the cream always toward 
the center. That makes it the lightest running churn made. 
The shelves, working roller, barrel heads and staves are made of the best 
quality of Washington fir. The door is made of California Redwood. All 
metal parts coming in contact with the cream are hot process galvanized. 
Made in three sizes—30 gal. for $50—40 gal. for $60 and 50 gal. for $75,
