The PROPOSITION to settle the

railroad company by allowing that
company to pay to the State two hun
dred and fifteen thousand dollars in
cash and three hundred and eighty-fve
thousand in three per cent. bonds pay
able in forty years, is, to say the least,
a bold one. The mortgages amount to
$500, 900, but the company only wants
to pay $215, 900 of this. The bonds, if
not worthless, would at least prevent
railroad competition In this State.
When new company asks for char
ter it will only be necessary for the
Pennsylvania company to state that,
with a competing line in operation
their receipts would be cut down so as
to render them unable to pay the
bonds or the interest thereon. Such
an argument would have great weight
with the members of the Legislature

sklM.MlLK FOR CALVES.
A Good Substitute for Sweet Milk Whom
Properly Prepared.

A Good Substitute for Sweet Milk When
Properly Prepared.
A Canadian feeder of long experience
says that his calves are fed by hand all
the new milk they can take three times
day until about q week old. Then
slSim-millS is added, only little at first,
but the quantity of slxim-mills is so in
creased and that of the new milk so re-
duced that in two weeks from the COM
mencement of this change skim.millt
only is fed, and this only when sweet
as when sour it produces scours and in
iures digestion in other ways Skim
milk is fed at temperature of milk Just
taken from the cow. In heating it
portion of the milk is put on the stove
in a pan or pail and heated gradually
until quite warm. 1t is then poured into
the portions set apart for each calf.
The calves get the milk three times a
day for about month from the begin
ming of the change to skim milk, but a
less quantity is given as noon. If fed
regularly they may drink all the skim
milk they wish without injury.
When the change is being made from
new to skim-milk flaxseed is added to
the milk. Prepare it as follows: For
two calves, take half teacupful of flax
at night, pour on two quarts of boiling
water and allow to steep until morn
ing, then warm and add to the milk;
the quantity may be gradually but
slowly increased until three-fourths OF
teacupful faxseed stepped in a pro-
portionate increase of hot water is
given to each animal. The faxseed
for the night meal is put to steep in the
same way in the morning. Milk is fed
until the calves are seven or eight
months old. They are given access to
as much clean water as they will drink
at all times. They get all the meal
they will eat up clean twice day. The
meal consists of one-fourth ground
peas, one-fourth ground oats and one
half wheat bran; this is mixed with
good hay run through cutting-box.
The proportion of hay to meal is in
creased as the calves get older. Where
meal of this kind is not to be had, then
give the calves oats, which may be fed
| whole, and need not be mixed with cut
hay. When autumn comes oat sheaves
are cut fine and the meal mixture
added, but not so much of it in quan.
tity as when the cut oat sheaves are not
fed. They get what long hay they eat
up clean in winter, and green food OF
almost any kind in summer. They are
kept in loose box stalls in the stable
through the first summer, and stalls are
kept dark in the season of flies. They
may get a good supply of sliced roots in
their season.-Orange Judd Farmer.

visited the scenes of his childhoOd's day;
went hunting with some Indians; had Il
great deal of sport, passing through ar
experience that would take days to per

the chase, and during dispute over di-
viding the game, he woke in time to
hear the instrument click out the final
syllable of Bismarcls name, and sue
ceeded in making complete copy of
the message. At the rate of about forty
words per minute (the average at that
time), the operator could not have slept
more than the 44-100th of a second; only

GAPES IN CHICKENS.
A Preventive and Cure for This Trouble
some DIsea Sc.

A Preventive and Cure for This Trouble
some Disea
The following points regarding gapes,
if observed, will prove preventive and
cure for this troublesome disease, name
ly: 1. Scatter air-slacked lime freely
over the ground occupied by fowls. 2.
Put little of the lime in the drinking
water. 8. Should signs of gapes ap-
pear, feed the fowls twice a week with
stiff corn-meal dough, first intimately
mixing teaspoonful spirits of turpen-
tine with a quart of the meal. 4. Give
very sick chick drop of turpentine
on bread crumb. 5. If this fails, then
strip feather, leaving small tuft on
the end, dip it in turpentine, insert the
end of the feather in the windpipe, and
quickly withdraw. 9. Feed on clean
boards. Z. Never allow uneaten food
to remain on the ground. s. Keep the
ground clear of filth. 0. The rich, moist
places, such as are favorable to earth
worms, are favorable to gapes. 10. Do
not mistake lice for gapes, as the big,
gray lice on the skin of the heads and
necks will often cause the chicks to
gasp from weakness. 1t is not an easy
matter to insert feather down the
throats of a large number of chicks;
hence the best wholesale method is to
give the turpentine in corn meal, and
to use plenty of lime on the ground, as
the lime will destroy all germs of gapes.

THE POULTRY YARD.

ScATTER lime on tile floor of the poul-
try house occasionally now.
HATCH pullets in March and they will
commence laying in October
For big roasting fowls cross the
Langshans with the Plymouth Rocks.
ONE of the chief advantages with the
incubator is that earlier Matching can
be secured.
ALMOST any of the standard breeds
are better layers than the common
dunghill fowls.
THE fowls that can best be depended
upon for winter laying are the early
Matched pullets.
AS A general rule old hens will lay
larger eggs and will hatch out thriftier
chickens than young pullets.
ONE of the poorest places to fix the
poultry house is along the side of the
barn or sheds for any of the other stock.
The worst objection to geese on the
farm is their liability to trespass upon
the neighbors, often to their disadvant-
age.
WHEN convenient to town it is often
the case that meat scraps can be had
from the butcher shops and used to an
advantage.
SOME breeders claim that by feeding
the hens literally on corn at this sea-
son it will aid materially to make them
broody.
Fowls are as apt to catch cold on
windy days if exposed as they are when
1t is rainy. Plan to protect from both
as much as possible.
TAKING one breed with another ten
dozen eggs in year is very fair aver
age for hen. Occasionally some will
go over this, but not generally
THERE is no advantage in keeping a
rooster because he is pretty or tame.
At this time only those that are needed
for breeding can be made profitable.
If not able to get a good start of
some of the better breeds of turkeys, at
least get bronze gobbler and breed to
your common hons; considerable inn
provement can be secured in this way.

Treatment of Colo in Horses.

This disease is caused by indigestion,
over feeding, or by giving cold water
in large quantities or by eating sour
grain. If collie occurs from eating sour
grain, give charcoal; pulverize it fine
and pour on it one quart of boiling wa
ter; when cool, strain off and give
If this does not give relief, stimulants
should be given to arouse the stomach
and get relief from the fermented food
which it contains. Purges are of no
use for the purpose of relieving an over
loaded stomach. Turpentine should
never be used except by those who un-
derstand it's action and neutralize it by
mixing it with linseed oil. The follow
ing has been used with good results:

ANTHRAX HYPoMELAs.
An Insect Which Deserves the Farmers
Love and Protection.

Love and Protection.
The bee-hy shown in the accompany
ing illustration is friend of ours, and
deserves our love and protection. It's
name is Anthrax hypomelas (Macq.),
and its services to us consist in the free
use it makes of the cut-worm chrysalis
as breeding place, thus destroying
great numbers of these our dreaded
enemies. Several related species of the
Anthrax have the same satisfactory
habit The perfect insect, shown at d,

Agriculture, from the pupe of cut

Agricultural Experiment Station, has
also bred last summer specimens of
these beetles or Anthrax of another
species "a. scrobibulta Lew) from cut
warm larvae.

A Fathers Kiss.

A father was seeing his son of ON the
cars for some distant point There was
moment of quiet conversation between
the two, perhaps a few words of such
advice as father should give son, and
then the train came laundering into the
station. AS the latter, tall fellow well
along in his ''teens," stepped on the
platform, he extended his hand and his
lips to his father. There was gentle
kiss of farewell, and the two separated.
There was no gush, no nonsense, no af-
fectation; just the expression of father
ly tenderness that had followed that
son since he lay in the cradle. is there
any danger of that boy straying from
the path affectionately pointed out by
his father? Or is there any danger of
that father ever having to excuse that
son because he is "sowing wild oatsp"

mothers kiss has been sung by poets,
but is there not also wealth of tender
ness and lasting memory for good in
the kiss of father?-HartfoEd Post

RATloNs FOR COWS.
Make a Distinction Between Feeding for

Butter and for Beef.
We must make distinction between
feeding for butter and for beef. We
must find out the inclination of the
cows-what they will do with the food.
The first thing COW should do is to
pay for her board and her care. If
they will not do this we do not want
them. They must, however, go further
than this, and give up profit. There
Should not be much hustling about the
COW stable. If the cowman is in hur-
ry to go to the village, let him start the
''chores" little sooner rather than
bang the cows about. Milking should
be done with our might, mind and
strength. Talk has no place in the
stable.
Good clover comes next in the order
of inexpensive rations, in the pasture,
the aftermath or in the stable. 1t
should be cured when there is the most
honey in it. Glover does not impoverish
the soil. The more we grow of it the
more our soil will grow of other crops.
The short crop Of hay with us, three
years ago, when we had to feed grain
TO our cows 10 get them through, proved
to the farmers of this section that feed.
ing grain to cows is an advantage, as
our cows never did better.
Next to the clover comes corn. The
sowed fodder corn is poor enough, not
better than sticks soaked in water
Hundreds of acres of such trash are
grown and called food. Corn should be
put in drills and the kernels one foot
apart-to get the most yield of real
food. Green rye is good in the early
spring, also oats and green corn in theil
turn. The old pastures must be plowed
up and reseeded; many of them are rur
out, and 1t takes too much territory tC
pasture our COWS. We can run CHEAP
fence around part of them and put on
some other crop to renew them, and
then reseed them.-Nathan Clark, in
