Keen the CaIve. Thrifty.

If calves are to prove profitable
care must be taken to make a good,
strong growth from birth to early
maturity. This is the case, wheth-
er the calves are to be kept for milk
or fattened for beef. Cramming or
extra heavy feeding has been found
to cost more per pound of gain than
straightforward, every day growth
Neither extreme should be followed
There is no economy in stinting the
rations at the expense of growth.
Neither is it good economy to keep
the animals fat. What is desired
and what will pay the best profit is
to keep them in a thrifty condition.
Calves are too often kept in dry
lot with very little if any shade
and very little water given them,
feed of milk night and morning
and otherwise left to shift for them
selves. But if the growth is to be
pushed and able steer secured
this kind of treatment will not do.
The growth is almost certain to be
stunted to an extent that will in
fiuence the whole future of the ami
NAL.
While during the early stages of
growth it will pay to make milk
the principal feed, yet it should not
be relied upon entirely. If given
the run of a good, grassy lot the
calf will learn to eat grass very
young, and if trough is provided
in convenient place and little
feed put into it night and morning
they will soon learn to eat it and it
will help materially in securing
good growth and development.
Water should be supplied where
they can help themselves. The
pasture or lot where they are kept
should have good shade.
With calves as with other young
stock, it is much easier to secure a
good growth from the start than to
allow the calf to get s.unted during
tllt lISG otdSOIi anu GIItll W IlldhC
up for it. Beef cattle should be
made ready for market before they
are 3 years old, at the farthest, and
a well-bred calf and good treatment
from the start are needed if this is
done. In addition to the better
weight and earlier maturity bet
ter quality of beef is also grown.
A calf kept thrifty from birth so as
to secure an early maturity will
make a better quality of meat, and
sell at better price than when
slow growth is made There is
much in feed. but the feed and care
must be given, and this feeding
must be commenced at start. While
there is difference in calves as re-
CARDS to growth made in proportion
to the food supplied, yet no kind of
a calf will grow well unless fed
we'll, and this feeding must be from
the start.

FARM Notes.


and health.
Give one feed of sound grain dali
ly, even in Summer.
Wheat is one of the best egg
producing foods, oats coming next.
While the laying hens require
grain, they need green feed as we'll.
The color of the shell has moth
ing to do with the quality of the
egg itself.
Keep little ground charcoal
where the growing poultry can help
themselves.
Any kind of milk, mixed with
bran and cornmeal, makes good
chicken feed.
A good range and outdoor roosts
are better at this time than close
confinement.
High feeding, causing excessive
fat, will often cause naturally
nonsitting hen to sit.
Two drops of nux vomica in
quart of water given to young
chickens will help to cure weakness
in the legs.
Turkeys seem more liable to
bowel troubles than any other
fowls. 1t causes considerable loss
among them.
Chicken meat is equal to any
meat that comes on the table and
it costs less to produce it than pork,
beef or mutton.
Two or three drops of liquid
camphor on bread crumbs given
every half hour is good remedy
among the poultry.
Soft-shelled eggs are largely due
to overlooking. A lessening and
changing of the feed is the best rem
edy if the fowls are too fat.
No matter how good a mother a
hen may be it is not best to trust
her too much or give her too large
a number of young fowls to look
after
Pieces of salt meat or fish, or
pure salt, or even brine, left where
they can help themselves often
causes considerable loss among the
fowls.
There are three breeds that excel
as layers. They are the Minorcas,
leghorns and black Spanish When
eggs alone are wanted anyone of
these breeds will be found the best.
The best laying hens are always
the most active and generally on
the move. the first fowls out in the
morning and the last to go to roost
at night. A lazy hen is always an
Indifferent layer.
Two-thirds wheat bran and one
third cornmeal wet up with skim
milk, has a good reproducing eff
feet. 1t is better than cornmeal
alone. The bran does not tend to
fatten while in the production of
eggs.
If the hens are expected to lay
regularly, they must have plenty
of exercise. If kept closely con-
fined they almost certain to become
too fat to lay well. Make them
scratch for their food, if nothing
more.
If the hens quit laying and it is
desired to start them up again
change the feed, reduce the grain
ration to very light feed and then
give them milk and meat in liberal
quantities until they start to lay
ing again.

LIST OF CASUALTIES.
Many Violent Deaths During the Past
Month.

Last month the number of violent deaths
in this city was unusually large, although
there was but one case of murder during
the twenty-cight days. A colored man
named Thomas Patterson was the victim.
and his death was due to beating at the
hands of several men, there being no dead
iy weapon used. Coroner Woodward's re-
port for the month shows that he investi-
gated forty-one cases in all. including a
number of still births. and many cases of
sudden death where there was no physician
in attendance.
There were seven known cases of sui
eide. The first victim was Mrs. Alice
Crook, who took poison and then turned
on the gas. Although insane, the means
employed were sure to end her life She
probably knew that in case she was found
before death had claimed her she would
have been treated for the gas she had left
turned on, and this treatment would in all
probability, have had bad effect on the
poison. Her example was followed the next
day by Miss Mary kengla, who used a
shotgun. AS suicide is generally epidemic
NenZio Giovannetu made good previous
records by jumping overheard. making the
third case within weeks time
Following these came the violent dea tbs
of Percy Tyler, colored, and William Bruce
De Jarnette. young boys, who were killed
by the electric cars.
Daniel Falvey, an aged man, who left the
same time in the month Aurelius W. Glib
sons accidental death resulted from a dose
of laudanum, and little later John San
FORD, an old man. accidentally fell down
stairs and broke his neck.
In the meantime Louis Feninger an old
soldier, ended his life in the lake in The
grounds of the home.
Later in the month the suicide craze
again took hold, and Henry A. i. Montrose
blew out his brains, after several DAYS
absence from his family. Peter McGill. an
intoxicated saloon keeper, selected the
same means of ending his existence and
two days later Edward p. Gleason followed
