Cheyenne County And This City Are .Now Ready For Their Friends And Visitors With the Best of Entertainment The Cheyenne County Fair which will be held at this place commencing Tuesday of next wees, will be the banner fair of tastern Colorado and will sur pass for attractions the older fairs of this county. The race program and new features all during the day and evening will assure a record breaking attend ance without a doubt. Amuse ment for the young and old has been provided for by the associ ation. The program consists of pac ing races and trotting races for every afternoon, a running race of a half mile, five-eighths and three-eighths on different days, a two mile relay race each d°y and cow-pony races, novelty race musical chairs and potatoe races interspersed in this program, also fast ball games each day; big parades will open the cere monies each day. Each evening will mean a How To Raise Calves Well Worth While The first important factor in raising good healthy calves is breeding, and the second is the care thev receive before maturity. The proper feeding begins before it is born. Cows in a poor condition give birth to weekcalvee that are difficult to raise. A cow should be "dried off” at least six weeks before calving, when about to “freshen” she should be given a clean stall to avoid danger of infection. If there has been any white scours on the place the naval should be disinfected with tincture of iodine immediately after birth. The calf must have the first milk or colostrum, but may be taken from its mother on the second or third day. In case the cow should die in calving or dev slope disease, like garget or milk fever, whole milk from another cow should be sub stituted, and the calf given two or three table spoonsful! of caster oil Whole milk should be fed until the calf is two or three weeks old. Skim milk may be gradually sub stituted. It is of the utmost im portance that calves be fed the same amont of milk, at the same tempature, from clean buckets, at the same time each day. Never feed enough milk to quite satisfy hunger, sterilize the milk buckets which are used for feeding the calves, each day, the same as the milk cans. You can’t raise healthy calves by feeding several of them, of different sizes, in a trough. It is economy to feed calves in stan chions. asserts Geo. H. Glover of the Colorado Agricultural Col lege. They will spill less milk and cannot suck each others ears, which is detrimental. The fat that has been removed in skim rning may in a measure be substi tuted by adding a handful of lin seed or corn meal to each pail of milk. Calves will begin to eat hay and grain at an early age es pecially if they are in the same pen with older calves. The main thing in raising calves is cleanli ness, regularity and freedom from overfeeding. Mr. Jull, of this city received a message the first of the week stating that his son-in-law, H. B.
