place of th<: ItlOMMnill of cow* which

stock of cow* without, any provisions
for replacement except by purchase.
Pgr slcntad dairymen are already
adopt lug a "preparedness" policy and
raining their host heifer calves.
Kv< ti If COWS could be bought as
cheaply as heifer* could be rained,
It Is poor policy to rely on purchased
«y»WH to keep up the herd. Just, one
purchase of a cow Infected with
abortion will bo very likely to seed
the whole herd witli this widespread
plague and cause great losses for
practically tWO years. In addition to
this is the danger of tuberculosis In
fiction, and after all, who wants to
buy, as the very foundation of his
business, unknown cows which some
one else has raised and sold? As an
example of the other Bide of the
case, look at the herd and the profits
of any real dairyman who has been
consistently raining his own cows
and grading them up with pure-bred
bulls.
Krom now on the wise dairyman
will raise, each year, just a few heif
er calves from his choicest cows and
Continually Improve while the other
man drifts. But above all thingH,
It is foolish to put money and time
Into a heifer sired by a scrub bull.
Prepare the Cow.
Proper calf raising begins with the
flam. Dry her off four to six weekn
previous to calving to get her In
shape for future work and to build
a strong calf. liuild up her body
with fattening foods and plenty of
bone meal to avoid the mineral de
ficiency ho common and troublesome
In this district. A week before calv
liik get her Into a laxative condition
with roots, silage, bran or olmeal, if
she s not on grass. At calvng time
give her light feeds and do not start,
heavy grain too soon.
Start Calf Carefully.
lift tin! calf nurHc at least one or
two days In order to get tho llrst
milk to clean out Ills digestive, tract.
It Is easier to teach him to drink
from a pall If taken away the second
or third duy rather than later. Let
him gat hungry and feed a small
amount of fresh mother's milk.
Tho greatest, mistake at this time
Is to overfeed. For tho llrst week
tho calf should ho fed ut least three
times a day and onn and a half
quarts lit each feeding Is enough.
A calf alwuys has a grantor uppe
tlt« than capacity and should he kept
it llltln hungry. High testing milk
Is hard for calves to digest and
should hedlluted or substituted with
other milk as early as possible. 1/oed
all milk fresh and at DO to 100 de
grees V., In absolutely clean palls.
Keep the calves in a cleun, dry,
sunny pen with room enough for ex
ercise. A few dead or stunted
calves from old, foul, dark, cramped
"holes", whora so many nro often
found, would soon pay for bettor
quart an ami care.
After n week, tho calf can bo foil
twice a duy and will handle from 5
to 7 quarts of milk dally depending
on his size. Ho needs a supply of
fresh water, in addition to milk, from
this time on.
Add Hay and Grain.
Ily tho ond of tho ItOOBd or third
week tho culf will begin to out a
little hay and grain and It la well
to i>uhli this as rapidly as possible,
to got good growth and to econo
mize on milk. Tho hay should be
due quullty and not woody. Somo
feeders claim that, for tho first few
weeks, stmight clover or alfalfa Is
too rich for calves, but by nil moans
select a halo or two of tho choicest
alfalfa for feeding all calves after
tho llrst month, because tho great
lime and protein content of this buy
Is very valunblo and necossury for
tbo growing calf. At least use the
host clover obtainable If not alfalfa.
Culvos must have lots of good hay
to develop digestive tract and bar
rel and will not got "pot bellied" If
they are given enough gralu and
milk to keep them growing rapidly.

Mrs. White's husband M Mrs.
Andrew Chambers' brother and after
Chambers home until the death of
the Chambers husband and wife
bnka up that wonderful home which
is still the property of the maLy
decedents.
Married just before the outbreak
of the civil war, Mr. and Mrs. White
started for the Pacific coast by way
of Panama. T.-iey went down the
coast In the palatial steamer Baltic,
enjoying the tropical climate from
tho wioe decks of their ship, and
th'-n came north again in the
crowded steamer Northerner, facing
tho colder weather and wondering if
they would ever reach Puget Sound
When they crossed the Isthmus
they found that the steamer on
which they would go north did not
have anywhere near the passenger
capacity of the one on which they
had come south and it was a case of
"double up" all along the line. Mrs.
White had to go in a cabin with a
woman and two children, while Mr.
White shared his cabin with three
men. In that way ail of the pioneers
were accommodated.
Mr. Chambers was among the first
settlers of the Puget Sound district
coming from Oregon, where his fam
ily had stopped two years, in !*>+".
His father with their family had
crossed the plains in 1845, undergo
ing all of the hardships that trip en
tailed and coming through without
the loss of a member of the house
hold, although they had to fight the
measles, travel a wilderness of In
dian country and ford the strange
rivers as they came to them.
Traveling with ox teams and cur
rying everything possibly needed
called for wonderful endurance and
ters pound dally for the first six
months.
Oats the Best Grain.
The best grain for calves Is oats
and they prefer them whole. Start
with a handful In the bottom of a
pall after they have cleaned up the
milk. Do not stir grain feed In with
milk unless It Is calf meal gruel.
After they start eating grain keep
some before them In a box at all
times, but do not fall to keep this
box absolutely clean and sweet.
If straight bran, not ordinary mill
run, can be obtained, use a mixture
of two parts oats and one part bran;
or three parts oats, one part bran
and one part linseed oil meal; or
four parts oats and one part linseed
oil meal. The chief value of these
three grains is a high mineral and
protein content for growth. When
starting grain aud hay allow calves
access to both salt and water. An
extremely valuable addition Is
Swift's Soluble Blood Klour, not over
one pound In 10 pounds of the regu
lar grain mixture. This aids growth
and helps prevent scours. Olvo the
calf all the grain he wants until he
goes on good pasture. Give him
Whole oats until he is doing well on
grasH and then do not full to start
grain again as the pasture fails.
Calf Comfort Station.
Glvo calves access to a box of salt
In which has been mixed about 25
per cent of finely ground, odorless,
steamed bone meal. An excellent
arrangement for pasturing calves,
whore thoy have access to any build
ing or shod. Is to fence off one cor
ner or DM into which the calves can
go during the middle of the day to
escape the heat and files. Bed this
comfortably, darken the winnows and
hang old sacks over the door, which
will brush off most of the flies as the
calves puss In. This system will be
found very profitable In midsummer.
How Much Milk?
A calf must ho well started on
whole milk for two weeks at least
and the more milk fed after that the
better the calf will be. The problem
Is, In raising grade calves, to know
how Utile milk enn he used and still
produce a good animal. The man
withskiiu-nillk can gradually susbtl
lute this for whole after two weeks
and be using skim entirely at four
weeks with good results. Most of
the dairymen here, however, do not
skim and must feed whole milk.
Calves have been raised successfully
on as little as 300 pounds whole
milk when changed to calf meal
gruel, but there is no question that
In (he long run the T»est system is
to feed whole milk In limited
amounts for 3, 4 or S months, getting

cisco recently made the trip in 36

not take the plodding oxen very far

necessary to stop and rest not oniy
the beasts themselves, but the mem
bers of the family: to repair the ■
wagons from stock brought along, to
' dry meat to replenish the larder and
even in some cases that a new mem
ber might be born to the troup.
The company left Missouri April 1,

stead of 3fi hours.
They remained at The Dalles dur
ing the winter and the next spring
moved down near Oregon Cityl But
Mr. Chambers had started for salt
water, he said, aad the following
spring went to Puget Sound to spy
out a good place for his family. That
summer they moved again to the j
prairie that bears their name and
jhtce they lived and prospered.
There on the prairie Andrew
■ Chambers grew up and became a
; man. He learned to fight the In-j
dians through the Indian war that
followed soon after their arrival. He
• helped build the log houses and j
1 1 barns that lasted through genera
' tions. He learned to tan leather and

' calves well started and changing as
| soon as possible to good grain and
j hay. In careful experiments calves
have been successfully reared on
i hay and grain entirely after only two
j months milk, but experience proves
; that, in ordinary herds, weak and
| stunted calves will be the result,
i and the best plan is to use an
I average of about five quarts per day
j —:)00 pounds per month for four
j months, a total of 1000 to 1200
I pounds milk per calf to insure con
| stant success. Select the lowest
testing cow in the herd, feed her
milk, and tho cost will not be at all
prohibitive. When calves are thrifty
and strong, most feeders begin to
reduce the milk after six weeks and
gradually get down to three or four
quarts daily during the third and
j fourth month, using a total of 750-800
j pounds. It Is found far more suc
cessful to dilute and spread the to
tal milk fed over four or five months
than to feed heavily for two or
three months and then stop entirely.
Calf Meals —Patent and Home-made.
Some calf meal is being used as
a substitute for milk and there is
no question that reasonably good
calves can be produced with It. But
remember that this required extreme
carefulness, extra labor and hot
waterevery feeding. It will produce
poorer calves and save about .'iO per
cent feed cost or $10.00 to $15.00.
After totaling the extra labor, the
poorer calves resulting and the
heavier losses in sick calves, most
dairymen will stay with milk feed
ing (especially if they can find an
80 pound 2.4 per cent cow to supply
the goods). As one dairyman said:
"One dead calf would pay for lots of
real milk."
Many reliable calf feeds are on the
market and their directions should
be carefully followed. A wonderfully
successful and cheap home-mixed
calf meal can be made as follows:
HO lbs. corn meal (or oat flakes);
10 lbs. linseed oil meal; no lbs.
Swiffs Soluble Blood flour; 1 3-4 lbs.
odorless, steamed bone flour.
Mix this at the rate of one pound
meal to one gallon hot water, not
boiling, and feed at blood heat.
Start substituting this gradually in
placeof milk at two to three weeks,
by replacing one pint of milk with
one pint of gruel, an» arter a week
replace a second pint of milk and so
on until the calf is gradually brought
down to only one quart of milk with
six quarts of gruel (1% lbs. meal)
daily, which is enough. It is never
advisable to omit this last pint of
milk per feed clear to the end, for
even this small amount Is invaluable.

only the milk and the usual dry

plains. The lonesomeness of the
trails left a lasting impression on
her. the desolation and the distances
from civilization and the helplessness
of the few people were to her like
being on a boundless sea In a small
boat. The loss of her dog because
of a lack of water to keep It alive
distressed her and even the beauti
: ful scenery did not bring to her the
pleasant reaction that came when
their train approached the settle
. ments on the Columbia.
They arrived at Chambers Prairie
!in the fall of 1831 and the follow

them. In January, 1854, she married

grain and hay must be fed in addi
tion as outlined above.
Indigestion and Scours.
To prevent infectious or white
scours have stalls and pens sanitary.
Disinfect navel stump of new-born
calf by soaking, in a bottle of 1-500
sublimate solution, or of iodine, and
then dusting with a healing powder.
White scours is treated only with
injections of calf dysentery serum.
Ordinary scours, however, are sim
ply indigestion and can always be
blamed on the caretaker.
Causes: Over-feeding, unclean
pails or boxes, filthy stalls, milk too
cold, too rich, or not sweet, separa
tor foam, moldy feed, Irregular feed
ing, sudden changes, lack of exer
cise, grain in milk or not feeding
each calf right abount in separate
bucket.
Treatment —Reduce feed at least
one-half or omit. In mild cases:
One leuspoonful blood flour In each
half feed; or raw egg In pint of
milk every three hours; or one tea
spoonful formaldehyde solution per
pint of milk. (Make solution by add
ing half an ounce formaldehyde to
one pint water.)
In severe cases: Give one to four
tablespoons castor oil In a pint ot
milk. Very little feed. If scouring
continues 12 hours after castor oil,
give one and a half teaspoons, three
times daily, of following powder:
1 ounce Salol; two ounces Sub
nitrate Bismuth; six ounces Blcar
borate Soda. Bring back to feed
very slowly.
Miscellaneous.
The best time to dehorn is at I
to 12 days of age. Clip hair over
horn buttons, apply circle of vase
line around the spot and rub the
button briskly with caustic potash
stick. Wrap stick with paper for
holding and use It only moist, not too
wet. Blood flour, bone flour, alfalfa
or clover hay and lots of It, water,
salt, clean quarters and plenty of
exercise are very Important items
too often overlooked. It is a seri
ous mistake to turn calves on pas
ture entirely under three or four
monthsof age, or to leave them there
without plenty of feed. A stunted
calf Is a stunted cow —always keep
them growing. Fall calves are the
easiest to raise.

YAKIMA: \V. L. Close, district horticul
tural inspector, has reported that there has
been no appreciable frost damage in the
Yakima Valley (luting the falling temperu
ture ofthe last two days. The temperature
dropped to twenty-six in the Euclid district,
but only for a short time. Close says the
tree.t are so heavily loaded that If one blos
som out of every twenty-five is suved the
valley will have ft normal crop.
PHOSSER: County Horticulturist .1. W.
liailey has examined many orchards and ex
presses the opinion that dumage to fruit is
much lessthon most people had estimated
from a frost of Friday night und that grow
ers were'more scared than hurt. He states
that 00 per cent of the blossoms could be
killed, und yet there would be all the apples
that most trees could bear. Fruit buyers
are more optimistic today. All ngree thai
it will be several days before the extent of
the frost damage can be known. They pre
dict a heavy tonnage, and unless later dam
age is sustained thinning will be necessary.
A. M. Nyberg, a fruit buyer, says that
the frost caused greater loss on the north
side of the Yakima River than on the south
side. Delicious and Winesap apples nnd
peaches and pears were hardest hit.
