I have always considered the raising of cows the first essential to success- ful dalrying, because it is the surest and most economical way of securing healthy animals of large milking ca- pacity. Indeed, I firmly believe it is the only way of getting cows that will avera 4,000 to 5,000 quarts of milk annually, writes Professor John Mich- els in the American Agriculturist. This production is within the reach of every dalryman that raises his own live stock iIn the right way. The first and most important factor in raising good cows is to get a good bull, one whose mother and sire’s The Guernsey breed of dairy cat- | tle has made great strides in recent years, and its popularity is shown by the Increasing number of farm- ers that are adopting it as their foundation for dairy purposes. The ideal form of a Guernsey cow should be one that has a deep body Witha big barrel and large udder. Tho Guernsey cow shown is a good type of the breed. mother have made big milk records. The bull should be a pure bred, but that in itself is no evidence that he is desirable. There are lots of culls among pure bred bulls, and for thi reason no bull should be purchased un- less the record of his mother and his sire’s mother is known. An extra $50 invested in an extra good record back of a Dull is sure to bring manifold re- turns, There are many records that show that a good bull Is capable of producing heifers waich will milk fron: 1,000 to 1,500 quarts more a year than do their mothers. Where mixed timothy hay and corn stover are fed as roughage a dry cow requires at least four pounds of grain a day. This may consist of one pound of linseed meal and three pounds pure wheat bran. Linseed meal is especial- ly valuable before calving because of its laxativeness. Some milk may well be fed to the calves, even if it is worth G cents a quart wholesale. During the first month the calf may receive eight to eleven pounds of milk a day. After this well cooked rolled oats may be substituted for part of the milk. At the end of six weeks four pounds of milk and one-half pound of rolled oats may be fed advantageously. At this time a calf can eat one-third pound of a mixture of linseed meal, cornmeal and ground oats or wheat bran a day. Alfalfa hay is ideal, and next to this clover hay will be found most satis- factory. CALVES IN SUMMER. Youngsters Should Be Well Fed and Furnished Shade In Hot Weather. 1 keep only a few of my calves. My milk record tells me what cows are best in my herd, writes a correspond- ent of the New England Homestead. Calves from these cows are the ones I retain. The others are vealed. I be- lieve in pasture for young calves, but for very young calves something be- sides grass or clover is required. I have used various grains, but now use exclusively a grain mixture that bas proved very satlsfactory. This mixture consists of ground oats and cornmeal, each three parts, and oilmeal and bran, each one part. Very little calves are given a tiny handful of this mixture. This is increased until two pounds are given to a six months’ old calf when on pasture in summer. Yegr- lings are given three pounds of& mixture and those eighteen mo: old four pounds if the pasture is short 1 find that this grain mixture is just ¢s good for winter feeding as for sum mer feeding. The quality varies from three to six pounls daily and is fed in connection with silage and clover or alfalfa hay. Nothing is so good for calves as the legume hays. Another thing is to arrange in some manner shade for calves in hot weather and either a run where calves can get in the bushes or g, d shed where they can go to avoid 1 should have stated that when the calves are very young .separator milk is given twice daily at first and then Iater once a day. Cottonseed For Cows. Cottonseed meal is onc of the cheap- est sources of protein supply for dairy cows. according to R. S. Hulee of thu University of Illinois. Only meal that is in good condition should be used in a grain mixture. Since the meal itself is a very rich concentrate the amount of cottonseed meal fed daily should ordinarily not exceed three pounds and should be used as one of several feeds in a grain mixture. The character of the grain mixture that should be fed will depend somewhat on the nature of the ronghages being used.

Length of Sellioq. The school will open on Monday, June 12, and continue in session for six weeks to Friday, July 21. The Faculty. Supt. W. P. Dyer of the City Schools of Be- midji, will be the conductor of the school.

The act which became effective in August, 1915, requires that all public school teachers who at that time had taught less than eighteen months and who apply for first-class certificates must show a given amount of professional training for teach- ing to entitle them to receive first-class certificates, or ones of higher grade. Such professional courses are provided in this school. Academic and Professional Credit.

Persons who are applicants for first-class cer- tificates and who wish to earn both academic and professional credits in any subject listed under Group II are permitted to register for and to re- ceive academic and professional credit by pursuing the subjects in double daily class periods according to the academic and the professional requirements. Limit of Subjects. A person seeking to earn academic credit is limited to two subjects selected under Group I. All students, either for academic or for professional credits are limited to five daily class periods. A Full Professional Course.

Nature has been exceedingly kind to Bemidji, “The City of Enterprise.” The city is located near two beautiful lakes, which form a part of the Mis- sissippi river system. In all directions from the city and within short distances may”be found many lakes and groves of natural timber, ideal spots for picnics and excursions. © Opportunities for boating, fishing, and bathing are unexcelled. Passenger boats make regular trips around Lake Bemidji and down the Mississippi River to a large power dam. A new summer hotel at the head of the lake affords delightful accommodations to those who may seek recreation and entertainment. The State of Min- nesota owns a large tract of land which was do- nated by the city as a campus for the sixth state normal school. This tract of land is located within the city limits and on the shore of Lake Bemidji. It has a natural growth of timber of many species, making a park that is popular with every one who visits it. " The city of Bemidji has many miles of paved streets and cement walks, commodious passenger stations, a first-class hotel, drinking water that is unsurpassed for its purity, and an extensive sys- tem of storm and sanitary sewerage. Bemidji is famous as a trading center, her merchants being alert to the various demands of their customers, The people of the city are accustomed to extending courtesies to strangers, an increasing number of tourists finding Bemidji a delightful locality in which to obtain genuine comfort during the summer season. . @ i A Rare Opportunity.
