Notes on Calf-Raising.

A calf may be fed SKINNED milk
when one week old, with the addition
OF one gill Of boiled naxseed, increas-
ing this ration gradually TO pint
per day when four weeks old, and then
adding fine middlings OF corn and oats
ground together, or a pint to one
quart OF oats unground. Flaxseed
Cruel. with plenty Of skinned milk,
produce a very fine growth, leaving
the calf as mellow to the touch rs if
sucking the COW. A calf two months
old will gain three pounds per day on
this ration. The oil taken of in the
cream can be replaced for one-ffth Of
the money value Of the cream. Butter
dairymen may raise calf to each COW
upon the skinned milk and lit,l.
additional food, such as indicated, and
get one-fonrth to one-third as mueh

This suggests a consolidation at night
which is uncomfortable to contemplate In
making use of the attic space part of the
problem Of added bedrooms in q low cost
house, which has nearly all of the rooms on
one floor, is met. These attic rooms are quite
as comfortable and in every way as satisfac-
tory as those which are below, as the ceilings
are square, the stories sufficiently high and
ventilation by windows amply provided for.
More than the one bedroom could be added
if desired.
Another popularity with respect to the
planning Of one story houses is that people
will content themselves with a bedroom much
smaller than they will in two story house of
the same cost. The same Recommendations can
be provided in two stony house at a less cost
than in one story house for reasons which
are obvious to any one who will stop to think
about it. The roof and foundation of one
story house would be ample for one, two, or
more stories high. A two story house is more
imposing, affords better ventilation, and with
the conveniences of plumbing, is in every
way rs convenient as the one story house.

Two Opinions About Ancient Bones.

Clark Brown exhumed at Fish's point,
on the Upper Mystic road, the other day,
what are believed by some persons to be
relics of the first American man, ante
dating, possibly, the age of mound build
ing. There were parts of human skele-
ton that crumbled at the touch, two
rough copper vessels, mostly corroded, a
smoothly rounded pestle and two pecu-
larly shaped glass bottles with crooked
necks. skeptics, however, profess to
think that the things belonged to pre-
historic apothecary that was swallowed
up in an earthquake. Mr.. Brown may
submit them to the inspection of an an
tiquarian. Telegram.

must be the same classifcation,of rooms in
a small, one-story house that is to be found
in the more expensive and elaborate struct-
ure. In this case, in a small, inexpensive,
onestory house, there is parlor, sitting room,
dining room and kitchen, and as well the
bedrooms. This makes the planning of low
cost, one-story houses a very troublesome
matter. The classification is on the wrong
side of the house. There is very large
amount of space for parlor, sitting room and
dining room, but when it comes.to the bed
rooms, classification is not to be considered.
We often see families living in houses where
they insist upon the use of all of the day
rooms above mentioned, but are apparently
content with two, or at most three, bed
