Tmismi of Breeding Heifers—How
Early Should they Breed?
This question is put in the dlmericat
Jgrleuiivriit by X, and some remarki
made ty the editor.
In this country, where no little attention
is paid to stock, there are a few wht
know, or care anything about it, anr
though we may incur a similar rernarl
made of us. os was once made by a cot
ton bale man—"why P.—the—fool lint
even a name for each one of his peach
trees.” he saw a fine label on the row,
showing variety, and did nut know any
better.
Well, the beat cows we have ever
owned, had calves when in and about two
years old, one of them the best one, ex
cept perhaps only one, had her first calf
under two years old. by one or two days.
If calves are properly taken care of and
kept in proper condition,—good, growing
order, not half starved, they will and
should drop first calf at from twenty-four
to twenty-six months old. We object to
me not nouse uunurtr, yei n can may ue
pushed forward, without nny injury; not
made fat enough to injure, if upon go»d
pasture, we would then advise by nil
means, lo g.ve her the use of the bull at
twelve to fourteen months old. We have
never known bd iir.ury lo result, though
we have had, at three or four years old,
killed by the weight of a large bull
More cows are ruined by the careless
milking, than from any evil of early
breeding. The care and attention be
stowed when the first calf is at her side.
doe9 more to make the milk cow, than all
the feed, without a proper care. The
calf should run with the cow until the
swelling has subsided ; care in handling
the udder, lo keep down undue febrile
action, then separate the cow and calf,
putting together morn, noon and night.
Trouble ! yes, too much for the cotton bale
man. The very last drop must be taken
away. If the calf cannot certainly take
all, better lo take u little first and be cer
tain the calf draws all the residue.
It is good economy to give calves any
thing ithey will eat in addition, and ns
early as they can be tempted to eat. This
will give them more strength and ability
to draw and digest all the tnilk; and the
sooner a part, one-fourln, one-half and
three-fourths to all of the milk can be
taken Bad economy to starve the calf
for a little milk. Give the cow the proper
food for forming milk, handle the udder to
assist it in expansion. This treatment of
the young cow will be repaid, ns she will
certainly increase until her third or fourth
call, then rem tin stationary until perhaps
the eighth. Yet another matter. Hold
her to her milk as long as possible, were
il only one lea-cup full, draw it regularly.
Admit her nature would incline to dry up
at six. seven, eight or nine months, by
education she can be brought to go a
month or so longer. Some cows, with
good attention, lias to be dried ofl just be
/ore the next calving. This, as every
thing else about the homestead, requires
attention, aud it pay# wrli. When we
were some twenty-five ;o thirty years I
younger, four cows attended to gave us
moie milk than ten or twelve does now,
when left to the darkle race.
We have now a heifer, we think cheap,
er at one hundred dollars than she would
have been at fifteen dollars, if not taken
care of, and we will certainly feel satisfi
ed she will remunerate us for all our
trouble, until the proof convinces to the
contrary. She is the first culf too, and
many think first calves are not even me
dium.
A Lantern Cane.—One of the most
unique of recent Yankee inventions is a
cane, which is also a lantern—a stout,
elegant walking stick, and a btilltant,
steady light. The lantern is set m the
body of the cane, about six inches from its
top, and so ns not to disfigure its propor
tions or beauty, and can be lit at pleasure
by pulling the cane apart, or borne along
dead, when the cane, without c!#>e obsei
vation, is undistinguishable from an ordi
nary, large-sized walking stick. It is a
useful invention for'doctors, policemen, edi
tors of daily papers, young men. and all
other classes who have to be out of uighls.
I.viman-9 and Negroes.—The Wynn
dott Indians in Canada, upon whose re
servation about three hundred runaway
negroes are settled, have resolved in coun
cil that the darkies . must leave. In con
sideration i_f the iact that some of them
have crops in the ground, they have been
allowed till tne first of next September to
remove beyond the jurisdiction of the In
dians. The niggers are so prune tosheep
stealmg. robbery, house-burning, violence
to females, and murder, that the Indians
have determined to tolerate them no
longer in their vicinity.
