"I'm delighted," cried Dorcas cor- dially. Next morning after breakfast Enoch and his sister rowed out to <leep water with their fishing outfit. Merry still was in bed; he was tired, he pleaded, and could not immediately accjuire the j habit of early rising. I "What do you think of Andrew?" asked Wentworth abruptly. He lifted I his head after the task of baiting a i hook and looked into his sister's face. I "I think he ought to be waked up." I "To join our fishing trip?" ! "I mean waktd in his ambitions.

The Skim Milk Calf. Calves raised upon .skimmed milk can develop into first clasa dairy cows. On hundreds of farms, skimmed milk constitutes the main portion of the feed of the young calf and such calves make as good cows as those receiving whole milk. It costs a great deal leis to raise a calf on skimmed milk than on whole milk. By this plan the cream can be sold and made int-" butter and the proceeds added to tho farm income. Calves do well on skimmed milk whether it is skimmed by hand or with cream separator but skiramed milk from the separator has the ad- vantage of being fresh and warm and sweet when fed. Where as many as three or four cows are milked regu- larly, a separator will prove a paying proposition. It saves a great deal of time and labor in setting the milk a- way for the cream to rise and in cleaning milk vessels. Feeding skimmed milk develops a large stomach in the calf. This is exceedingly desirable because, after a big udder, the most valuable point in a cow is a large, capacious paunch in which she may store her feed. Every great milk cow, without e.xception, has a lai ge barrel. Wean Early. The calf may be allowed to remain with its mother for five or six days, at which time the milk is usually fit to be saved. It should then be taken away from the cow and if possiplo out of her «ight and hearing. During the first week after removal from its mother, it should receive about 9 Ib.s. of milk a day, divided into two or three feeds, preferably in- to three. After this, skimmed milk should begin gradually to replace the whole milk, so that by the time the i calf is three weeks old, it is getting getting sk;:iimed milk only, the quant- I ity varying from 12 to IS lbs. a day according to th esize and thriftiness of the calf. A teaspoonful of blood flour added to each feed of skimmed milk adds to its feeding value and prevents scours. The skimmed milk should always be fed warm, t*8 to 100 degrees or blood heat, being about right. The bucket from which the calf is fed should be washed and scalded after each feeding. The use of filthy slop buckets and unclean and sour milk will surely result in unthrifty calves and in a great deal of trouble with scours. Get On Feed. Within three or four weeks the calf will begin to eat bran and shelled corn, and will nibble at hay. A small amount of these materials should, therefore, be provided. Good clean clover or alfalfa hay gives the best results. Care should be taken not to give too much grain. A safe rule is to give a little less than the calf wil clean up. At the age of ten to twelve weeks, if a good pasture is available, the calf will be able to get a living from ' grass. When this is the case, the 1 skimmed mi'k only, the quant- ' Care should be taken at this time to avoid stunting the calf, and enough grain .should be given to keep it in a thrifty growing condition .but not fat. Teaching the calf to drink out of a bucket requires a little patience. Cently back the calf into a corner of the stall, stand astride the youngester, wet the fingers in tho milk and let the calf get a taste of the milk. Then gently lower the head into the pail. â€" Canadian Farm. The Farm OflTice. Farming is a business and the manager of one is, or should be, a business man. Every city business man has an office because it has proven an asset to his business. A few farmers have also tried it and proven its efficiency. A few reasons why every farmer rhould have a business office, even if it is no more than a space parti- tioned off in the tool house, are as follows : FOR HEADACHES, BILIOUSNESS CONSTIPATION. INDIGESTION Nearly all our minor ailments, and m.iiiy of the serious ones, too, are traceable to some disorder of the stomach, liver, and bowela. If you wish to avoid the mis- cries of indigestion, acidity, heartburn, flatulence, headathas, constipation, and a host of other diitrcssing ailments, you must see to it that your stoinacli, liver and ^x^^veh are equal to TOY "'^ *'"'''' '^^y ''â- "'^ '" do.

He often has business callers who feel averse to wa''-ing into the house and talking freely before the women members of the family, but who are at ease when alone with th? farmer. An of^jce fitted up cozily with n stove and chairs is a fitting place to take them, especially in cold weather. X The time is fast approaching when the successful farmer will know something of science, and an office or den is a good place to make his experiment? on sails or other mater- ials, or to keep his samples of fenc- ing, soils or seeds. ^' 4. There is no farmer but keeps some accounts, more or 1*98' correct according to the business ability of the man. He should have a nlace to keep these account books. Neatly printed farm stationery, and a typo- writer in his office will help the farm- e»- to find a better market for his pro- ducts. The cost of fitting a farm office can depend upon the inclinations of the man. It should contain a desk, i)re- ferably roll top on account of its many drawers and pigeon holes, an e.xtcn- sion of the 'phone from the hou.se; shelves or cabinet for filing his books, pamphlets and samples; a stove and a table for his experiments. Other equipment may be added as is needed. â€" G. D.

The horse collar should fit snugly. It should not pinch at the crest of the neck and there should be room en- ough between the collar and lower part of the neck to admit the hand freely when not pulling. The contact surface o fthe collar should be smooth and plastic and distiibuted over as much bearing surface as possible. The incrustations that form on a toUor should be removed daily to prevent in- creased friction. Sweat pads or false collars should not be used except in cases where the animal has been gall- ed or has a collar boil, and in this case a window should be cut in the pad so as to prevent the bearing sur- face of the collar coming in contact with the injured part â€" S.
