WEAVING CALVES.
There Is Always Danger In Changing Food
Too Suddenly.


Too Suddenly.
Il is disappointing tine when one
sees the calf or colt, that has been
growing thriftily while fed by its dam.
beginning to look rough in hair and
thin in flesh as it comes to the changed
conditions of feed when once it has
been weaned 1t is right here that so
much of the trouble comes in attempt
ing to raise calves and colts. 1t is the
suddenly changed condition of feed
that disarranges the small animals
digestive organs, and for awhile APP
pears to stop its growth entirely. The
remedy is plainly the making of the
change from the dams milk to the
new food as little of a change as posi-
BILE at first. and to make this change
very gradually.
To do this it is best to begin by al
lowing the calf, for instance, to take
but half its fill of its dams milk, fin
ishing upon a mixture of fresh milk
and warmed slim-milk. Gradually the
dams milk can be reduced in the ra-
ton. and the warmed sllim-milk in
creased while into it is stirred little
boiled flax-seed and boiled Oatmeal
and middlings, very little of these
substances being added to the
milk at first, while gradually increas-
ing the quantity as the calf gets older
and more fully accustomed to this food.
The great point is to make the change
so gradually as not to disturb the di-
gestive functions, and no small part of
the care required to do this is hav-
ing the prepared food always of the
warmth of new milk. Even after the
calf has grown strong and lusty upon
its new diet, the milk and mush which
is given it should be warmed, as the
chilling of the stomach from the drink
ing of a pail of cold milk, or other fluid,
is likely to be the beginning of a scri-
Gus disturbance that may manifest it
selfin scours andin failure to properly
assimilate the food taken, which means
retarded growth. A calf at this time
should have some grass or hay to eat.
out let it be clover, if possible, and
not too much of that, for weaned
calves kept in stable frequently over
tax both the capacity and the digestive
power of their stomachs by eating
large quantities of dry hay, becoming
thereby ''pot-bellied'' and unthrifty.
If scours occur, even when every care
is taken, drink of milk freshly
drawn from the COW will prove a cor
receive. while constipation, if it occurs,
can be remedied by taking care not to
boil the milk when heating it, and by
slightly increasing the laxative foods
that are added to the milk, adding a
little boiled bran, if needed, for this
purpose. If such plan is followed,
and the small animal, or animals, are
kept warm and given a dry pen. the
change from their dams to the pail or
the calf-feeder can be made with little
difficulty.-WebbD onnell, in American
Argriculturist.

a CREAM BROOOER.
Simple Device Which Has Given Satisfsc-
tory Results.


The following note is contributed to
the Rural New-Yorl1er by Mr.. A. G.
Chapman, and may afford useful sug-
gestion. though it seems to us that one
might far better get ripening vat, the
best device being emphatically the
cheapest in dairying.
1t is a good deal of trouble to keep
cream at proper temperature in win
ter. If the whole mIllx-room is kept
warm, it costs a good deal for fuel, as
no fire is needed where the creamer is
used. If the cream has to go behind
the stove in the living room, it is much
in the way, and may absorb some of
the odors from the cooking vegetables.
1t makes a good deal of hard Juggling
for some one; so l concluded to make a
small room on the principle of the
brooder.
Make a box wide and high enough
to hold a cream pail and long enough
to hold all the cream pals you have.

in the bottom and line the edges with

SHOCKED MIR. GRESHAM.

Coz. White Says rrb,lc officials Have to
Wink at Italians Being Eun Out OF
Town.
DENVER, Col. Aug. 24.--It is barely
possible the diplomatic relations exist
ing between the United States and
Italy may suffer 4 strain from the Off
hand manner in which Gov. Waite late
" replied to the inquiry of Baron Fava,
the Italian minister at Washington, re-
garding the running out of his coun-
trymen at Cripple Creek. The inquiry
of Baron Fava was forwarded to the
governor through Hon. Walter Q. Ores
ham, secretary of state, who courteous
ly asked that the chief executive OF
Colorado tender an explanation or such
statement as could be given in
answer to the alleged insult offered the
Italian government by the action
of the Cripple Creek miners Gov
Waite replied, saying that while
he personally might not indorse such
action, he still understood the spirit OF
the west sufficiently to say that the
officers of the law, by reason of their
circumstances, often had to wink at
what would not otherwise be allowed,
and that, in fact, he did not see that
anything could be done in the matter
The august Washington official was
evidently shocked that such state Of
affairs should rule, and more than all
that the chief executive of the state
should seemingly connive at such pro-
ceedings. At any rate he dispatched a
letter to the governor, which was re-
ceived yesterday morning. The con-
tents of the letter are sacredly guarded
by Private Secretary Lorentz, but it is
understood Secretary Gresham has re-
minded the fiery governor of his duties
in the premises.

IN the car were a number of men

While the railway officials were en-

A man named John Briggs, of Girard-

THE GERMAN BOY.
Athletics In the Schools and Colleges Of
the Fatherland.


The German boy, up to his eighteenth
or ninteenth year, when he leaves
school, is looked upon merely as ma
chine for grinding out Latin, Greek
and mathematics II he has in each
week. two or three hours devoted TO
gymnastic exercises, he considers him
self fortunate. 1t never enters his
head that he should spend at least three
hours day in outdoor games of some
kind. His teachers hold up their
hands in horror at the idea of dcvoting
so much attention to the physical Gull
ture of their pupils as to the examining
of their minds with dead knowledge
Even my excellent German tutor who
fitted me for Yale, and was himself a
teacher of gymnastics, regarded it as
monstrous that boys should spend two
or three hours day playing football
or rowing. The whole professional
caste of Germany, loyal as it is to the
Hohenzollerns, regards this emperor
with ill-disguised suspicion, because of
his desire that the German schoolboy
should be vigorous typical creature
as well as an educated one. The
drudgery of the schoolboy's life can
scarcely be credited by one who has
not lived it, and it is only because the
emperor has suffered under it that he
is now so strong an advocate for inn
provement.
The injury to health, which is tho
direct result of the unnatural life led by
the German boy, has become strangely
apparent in late years, through pub
lished statistics: but even without them
the evils manifest themselves to inn
partial eyes in the difficulty of getting
men of proper build to I'LL the ranks Of
the officers corps If the war depart
ment accomplishes nothing more than
to bring pressure upon academic bodies
in this one direction, it viii have jus.i-
fed its existence; and if the present
emperor should die having done Moth
ing greater than to leave every school
child the right to physical development
as well as mental, he will have earned
the gratitude of every mother and
school-child in the fatherland.-Poult-
ney Bigelow, in Harper's Magazine

Land Office Changes.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-President
Cleveland has before him recommen-
dation from the interior department to
unite the Larned and Garden City, and
the Wakeeney and Oberlin land offices.
This proposition, which was submitted
by the interior department some time
ago, provided that the land Offices at
Garden City and Larned should be con-
solidated and transferred to Dodge City.
1t was found that the Larned land
office had practically no further work
to do, and by choosing point between
the two towns all the BUSINESS could
be transacted at one Office.

ARMED DEPUTIES.
PITTsBURG, Kan, Aug. %. - Forty
armed deputies stood off President
the Santa Fe Coal Coz mine at From
tenac. Mr.. Walters attempted nice
little bluff to prevent the miners who
had signed the agreement from return
ing to work, but it did not prove as
satisfactory as he had expected.
Early in the morning about 400 strik-
ers, headed by President Walters, as
sembled at shaft No. . at Frontenac
and attempted to prevent miners who
had signed the contract with Devlin
from going to work. Deputy Sheriff
kdsit was present with posse OF forty

ers could do thirty-five men went down
into the shaft.

ness men of Pittsburg, who volunteered
their services for the purpose of pro-
teeting the miners who were willing to
