mencement OF this change skim-milk
only is fed and this only when sweet,
as when sour it produces scours and in
jures digestion in other ways. Skim
milk is fed at temperature of milk just
taken from the COW. In heating it q
portion of the milk is put on the stove
in 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 a month from the begin.

ing, then warm and add to the milk:
the quantity may be gradually but
slowly increased until three-fourths OF
a teacupful flaxseed stepped in pro
portionate increase of hot water is
given to each animal. The flaxseed
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 tc
as much clean water as they will drink
at all times. They get all the meal
they will cat 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 Us the calves get older. Where
meal of this kind is not to be had, thcr
give the calves oats, which may be fec
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 moi
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.

RATIONS FOR COWS.
Make a Distinction Between Feeding for
Butter and for Beef.

Butter and for Beef.
We must make a 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. II
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. II
should be cured when there is the most
honey in it. Clover does not iInpoverish
the soil. The more we grow of it the
more our soil will grow of other crops.
The short crop Of hly with US, three
years ago, when we had to feed grain
TO our cows to 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 their
turn. The old pastures must be plowsl
up and resee ded; many of them are run
out, and it 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, iD
Farmer Stock Breeder.

To die thus without another glimpse of

Crack!
With mad yell, Cochise sprang into
the air, and the fallen soldier realized
that not two hours ago, but only the
space of a lightning flash, had tho
lance entered his side. Cochise had not
time to finish his work.
The fight still ragged; but in place of
the bloodthirsty Apache, woman's
form bent over her husband, and Mary
Sigourrey dropped the still smoking
gun. With strength born of agony,
she dragged the wounded man back to
the safety of the dug-out.
The fall of Cochise turned the tide OF
battle; and waiting only to secure the
wounded chief, the Apaches scurried
to the hills like flock of quails. Then

of all were riveted on a common object.
Gradually it was seen to emerge from
the hazincss of the surrounding hills,
and soon forms were distinguishable.
But ere this, the clear notes of the cat
airy buglcs rang out "Boots and ss6-
dles" and the long roll of the infantry
was as promptly beaten. Captain
Sigourney is already in line with his
troop on the flank of the post facing old
Mount Turnbull, near him the longer
line of the infantry battalion has also
halted, and now, in ominous silence, do
the veterans so recently from the scenes
of civilized war wait the approach of
u savage foe.
With bated breath has been passed
from one TO another the dreaded name
of "Cochise," that fearless Indian
who5C pSowess had for years maintained
an absolute supremacy throughout the
Southwest, from the Rio Grande to the
Colorado, the mention of whom might
well cause the cheek OF the border man
to pale.
From his customary haunts Cochise
had heard of the work of the "blonde
soldier chief on the Shus-Be-To, and
had come to punish him. He had
brought his chosen warriors, armed
with the lance, with bows and arrows,
and with firearms, the spoils of many
massacre in Arizona and Sonora.
Contrary to his custom, he had said he
would fight the soldiers on open
ground; and now, followed by horde
of painted fiends, he was riding on to
the devoted garrison of BALDWIN.
On, on they moved, with almost mil
itary precision, and in numbers much
greater than the little body of troopers.

three companies of infantry and one
troop of cavalry which made up the
garrison. The store-houses, stables, cor
rails, ETC., completed all there was of
Fort BALDWIN.
1t was sun-balsed slope, extending
toward the Gila, three miles away, but
along q pretty stream, redeeming
feature, having it's source in the springs
ut the base of the mountain which
formed the background. The land
scape was still farther relieved by the
extending lines of cottonwood and mes
quite trees which bordered the little
stream, called by the Indians the
"Shus- Be-To," or Bears Water.
Around this ''post" the Apaches were
everywhere, even stealthily crawling
inside the line of sentinels at night or
shooting their arrows at the sentinel as
he walked his lonely beat On one dark
night they watched the guard at the cat
tie corral and during his short absence
from a selected spot by an adroit use of
their rawhide lariats succeeded in drag
ging several of the smaller animals
throngh an opening they had forced be-
tween the logs without discovery,
whereat a soldier next morning rhymed:
"Iso: the poor Indian, with untutored mind,
Finds calves in the corral and chokes off
their wind"
In the year which followed the close
OF tie war of the rebellion to Fort Bad
win had come Captain Slgourncy, with
his bride and his cavalry troop. Gentle
Mary Sigourney was minister's daugh-
Ger, who in the far-away New England
town had joined her life with that of
the brave young Captain, that hero for
whom she had forsaken home and kin
dred, to share with him the wild, un-
known life on the frontier. The fair,
girlish form seemed strangely out OF
keeping with the rude surroundings, but
she was content.
Barely were the soldiers given time
TO occupy their quarters after the weary
march across the sandy deserts. 1t was
Indians! indians! everywhere and al
all times. Captain Sigourney, the ideal
of an American cavalry officer, was al.
most constantly in the saddle, his form

Love and Protection.
The bee-fy shown in the accompany
ing illustration is a friend of ours, and
deserves our love and protection. Its
name is Anthrax hypomelas tMacq.l,
and its services to us consist in the free
use it makes of the cut-worm chrysalis
as a breeding place, thus destroying
great numbers of those our dreaded
enemies. Several related species of the
Anthrax have the same satisfactory
habit. The perfect insect, shown at d,
was one of number bre last summer
by Mr.. L. NJ. Webster, the Indiana agent
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture, from the pupe of a cut
worm, which proved to be Agerotis
herilis. Prof. Gillette, of the Iowa
Agricultural Experiment Station, has
also bred last summer specimens of
these beetles or Anthrax of another
species "a. scrobibulta Lew) from cut

Though these are extremely interest

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

some Disease.
The following points regarding gapes,
II observed, will prove preventive and
cure for this troublesome disease, name
ly; l. Scatter air-slacked lime freely
over the ground occupied by fowls. ..
Put little of the lime in the drinking
water. 8. Should signs of gapes ap-
pear, feed the fowls twice week with
stiff corn-meal dough, first intimately
mixing teaspoonful spirits of turpen-
tine with a quart of the meal. 4. Give
a very sick chick a drop of turpentine
on bread crumb. 5. If this fails, then
strip a feather, leaving a small tuft ON
the end, dip it in turpentine, insert the
end of the feather in the windpipe, and
quickly withdraw. g. Feed on clean
boards. z. Never allow uneaten food
TO remain on the ground. g. Keep the
ground clear of filth. 8. 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 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 viii destroy all germs of gapes.
