Raising Dairy Cows. It probably costs on an average $lB to $25 to raise a calf until it is two years old. The cost, of course, will depend largely upon the price of feeds as well as up on their selection, but the suc cessful dairymen contend that they can raise calves at a lower cost than the maximum figures quoted above up to the age speci fied. While the matter of cost is an important maiter, still the man who has set out to build up a business dairy herd is not like ly to succeed well unless he pro duces his own cows. This is an important factor in successful dairying, and it is certain to be more true in the future than it has been in the past, and the pro gressive dairyman can afford to expend twice the amount stated above to raise calves from his best cows to an age when he can test their individual merits. A very important element in the production of one’s own cows is whether the dairyman has the proper foundation stock. The calves from cows that do not make a reasonable profit upon the feed given them are not like ly to prove successful, and under such circumstances the only wise course would be for the dairyman to go out and purchase one or more high-grade or thorough bred cows of merit with which to begin his herd. Then, too, a good sire should be available, for without the qualities that can be transmitted by such an animal one cannot obtain the success de sired. Interesting to Candidates. Mr. Williams, one of five can didates for the office of sheriff in one of the northern counties of Wisconsin, was making a house to-house canvass of rural dis tricts, soliciting votes, says a writer in Mack’s National Month ly. Coming to the house of Farmer Tompson, he was met at the door by the good housewife, and the following dialogue en sued: ‘Ts Mr. Tompson at home?” ‘‘No; he has gone to town.” ‘‘l am very sorry, as I would have liked to talk to him.” ‘‘ls there anything I can tell him for you?” ‘‘My name is Williams, candi date for sheriff, and I wanted to exact a promise from him to vote for me at the coming election.” ‘‘Oh, that will be all right, I know he will promise, for he has already promised four other can didates the same thing.” Better Stay In Georgia. That’s a long way around, as I often say, to get to a point in progress. It goes to show that thousands of Georgians who have gone Texasward—or any other way—have left a wonderful sec tion in quest of something that perchance will never be found. Maybe the same is true of otheis who would come this way. For all these years, I have preached the doctrine of home and declared faith in the ultimate development of the South. But, back of all my wandering discussions along these lines, there has been noth ing commensurate with the new possibilities that are brought forth as the age of progress ad vances. The people of the country will profit for the first time by this wonderful development. The for ces of all the world afe directed toward improving the rural con ditions, and the folk of the rural dists are receiving highest con sideration in every project that is now offered anywnere. It shows that intelligence is mani festing itself and education is being directed in the right chan nels. Heretofore kingdoms, em pires and republics have tumbled because their country districts were abandoned for the more en ticing pursuits of other days; but things are changing now. — Rea Hayne in Home & Farm. sor 6 doses ‘‘66fi” will cure any case of Chills and Fever.
