Fall Calves.

The cow that calves in the fall should
give ~ much milk as the one which
comes in" in the spring, and the milk
must be OF more value. Butter is al
ways high during the winter months.
To make fall calying profitable. how
ever, there must be good care and warm
quarters. IL not well cared for by
spring the Gov will be nearly dried up
so nearly that grass will not bring her
''out o. the kinks" The fall calf may
also be made as profitable as the
spring calf, but it also requires better
eare.
The most critical period in the life OF
acalf Is the first six months, says the
Nebraska Farmer. The spring calf has
the advantage here of warm weather,
sunshine and good pasture, anu what
the fall calves lack in this direction we
must make up for them by better care.
Give them full milk until they are a
week old; you can then gradually
change it to skim milk. Skim milk fed
in connection with oil meal boiled to a
thin jelly Is as good for calves 3
weeks old and upwards as is new milk,
only the oil meal must be used with
care, II is easy to use too much.
Get the calf to eating solid food ~
soon as possible. The calf will quickly
initiate older cattle in eating hay, etc.
If placed where il can learn. Silage or
green feed is excellent and it quickly
goes from these to dried feed. Clover
hay is good and for grain a mixture OF
oats, corn and wheat bran may be fed.
Corn and oats should be ground very
coarse. For the first six weeks give the
calf all IL will eat, and do o forget TO
water IL, for milk alone is no sufficient
to Que~,h thirst.

To Head on Beef Combines.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Senator Vest,
whose committee investigated the
dressed beef men last summer, is pre-
pairing two bills based upon the infor-
nation obtained by the committee. One
bill will make it a felony fo- any per.
sons or corporations to combine to in
crease the price of meat food to con
sumers when such persons or corpora
lions are engaged in handling meats for
interstate ommerc or for an export.
1t will have the effect of combining the
Armours TO Illinois when combinin to
put up the price OF meats. The other
bill will prevent any person or corpora
ton from obtaining a monopoly on
shipments for exporting cattle. The
beef men have heretofore chartered all
the room on small vessels and compelled
small dealers and cattle owners from
making their shipments except through
the combine. Senator Vest thinks both
bills will pass congress.

presided today over the meeting of the

manifested in this gathering and a great
crowd had assembled outside OF the

also imminent. Before the reichstag
Prince Bismarck is TO e~nliven the de.

the proceedings is to be given to the

Accounts have been received OF Q
so-called flower, said to have been dis
covered by Count Anthoskoff in the
northern portion Of Siberia, where the
ground is continually covered with
frost. The wonderful object shoots
forth from the frozen soil only on the
first day ofeach succeeding year. 1t lives
but a single day, then resolves to Its
original elements. The leaves are three
in number, and each about three inches
in diameter. They are developed only
on that side Of the stem toward the
north, and each seems to be covered
with microscopic crystals OF snow.
