THE BEAM IN ToPEKA's EYE.

Has every body concluded TO leave
Leavenwor-h alone in its evil ways:
The State Temperance union calls the
attention of Governor Morrill, to the
saloons in Atchison, and says nothing
about Leavenworth. They might have
at least provided for some missionaries
for that benighted town. Perhaps the
inhabitants might be brought 10 a
frame of mind some time which would
admit of an attempt to enforce the law.
We send missionaries 10 China and 10
Africa. Are Leavenworth people be-

Topeka preach down to Leavenworth?
Let Topeka look to itself-is it blind:
Can it not see? Look. blind pharisee.

shalt thou see clearly to cast out the

The prohibitory law * more widely
violated in Topeka than anywhere.
Beside the number OF government Ii

places are being run without license.
Several arrests have been made by the
federal officials during the last week
for this offense. Every drug store in
Topeka daily violates the terms OF the
prohi5itory law. There are scores Of
joints licensed besides tue drug stores.

Official and unofficial accounts from
Alaska state that the United States
gunboats in Boring sea have been quite
active this season in capturing vessels
engaged in catching seals. One account
states that the United States ship of
war Rush seized a Sealer 100 miles
from the coast. and upon overhauling
her catch of 1900 sealskins it was dis
covered that one of the skins had a
hole in it resembling a bullet hole
This was assumed by the vigilant cap
tain of the Rush as evidence that the
sealer had been using firearms. in vio-
lation of the treaty of Paris. Accord

1t is quite possible that the hole in this
one seal was caused by some other
weapon than a gun. But the seizure
of this vessel and its catch of seals
means for the skipper the loss OF much

Care of Valuable CnlyeS

The following notes on How Jersey
Calves are Grown at Prospect Hill
Farm" are contributed to the Breed.
ers' Gazette:
When three days old the calf is
taken from its dam and placed in a
small box stall by itself. We begin
feeding it by giving it six quarts of
its mothers milk a day-three quarts
In the morning and three quarts in the
afternoon. Hay is occasionally kept
before the calf and it will generally
eat some before it is q week old. This
treatment is continued until the calf
is a month old, at which time the
quantity of milk is increased t o ten
quarts a day, dividing it equally be-
tween night and morning, six quarts
of the ten consisting of the mothers
whole milk, the other four Of skinned
milk. 1t is at this time that we begin
giving the calf with each feeding a
pint Of steamed oil cake pressed lin
seed meaD. The oil cake before being
steamed would probably be about one
tenth Of a pint. The quantity Of whole
milk is gradually decreased and the
prCpOrtiOnate amOun OF skinned milk
increased until at the end Of three
months the calf is getting ten quarts
of the latter daily. After this age the
quantity Of steamed oil cake in the
skinned milk can be gradually in
creased to as much as a calf can eat
without producing diarrhea. say from
two TO four quarts daily. Ground oats
and Corn meal, mixed in the proportion
of twO-thirdS Of the former to one
third of the latter. by measure. are
led rs Don as they can be eaten,
which is generally at the age of one
month. A handful of this dry mix
ture Is given to the calf twice a day.
Any Of the grain left Over from n
day to the neX should be removed
from the feeding box.
The calf can do without milk when
six months old, but we generally feed
skinned milk as long as we have it
To spare, sometimes until the animal
Is a year old or ever W. years old.
If the calf Is six months old and is not
being fed any milk. we give 1t then
twice a day, besides oil cake, a mix
ture OF two quarts Of ground oats and
corn meal. fed in the proportion above
mentioned. What hay 1t will eat up
clean is also given 1t. This amount Of
feed is continued until the calf is a
year old or quite well grown. The
amount OF feed is then increased. and
in the winter corn silage is fed at the
rate Of ten quarts n day. When a Jer-
sey animal is a year old. it runs OF in
the pasture both night and day, in the
summer time, and is not fed any grain
during that time.
Providing the weather is right, say
mild spring and fall, or when the sun
Is not too hot in the summer time. a
calf six months old may he allowed to
run put to pasture. However. if the
heat is intense. ii is better 10 keep the
calf in the barn. because the hot sun
shine Is liable TO produce diarrhoea,
and the flies will annoy 1t greatly.

A correspondent inquiries about the

ing. Ten days lost right at planting
time Is a Serious blunder, and should
be guarded against. In the selection
of seed Prof. Morrow says that the
type of corn to be selected will be in
fuenced, properly, not only by lati-
tude, altitude and soil, but by the pur-
pose for which the crop Is to be used.
Thus many cattle feeders in Illinois
quite prefer varieties producing long.

such ears better for feeding to cattle.

When corn is to be sold or fed after
being shelled, the thickness Of the ear
Is OF less Importance. While the evil
dence OF chemists is that the feeding
value OF corn does not depend on the
color of the kernels, this is we'll worth
taking into consideration. Different
markets prefer one or the other of the
two leading colors. Where the corn
Is TO be fed on the farm. color Is an
unimportant point relatively. There
Is a growing conviction that, in case
of corr as with animals, occasional
crossing often Increases productive

The Best Use of Bran.

Bran is much more highly thought Of

its limitations, and should not be re-

al excellent food TO give animals that

tening sheep. 1t is not so good for
hogs. as its coarse texture makes it
unpalatable. But fine wheat middlings
have all the e~XCellencies of bran. and
will be eaten In greater quantities by
fattening hogs. The bran and wheat
middlings furnish a greater proportion
Of albuminoids than corn has, and.
therefore. supplement it's deficiencies.
Wheat bran is an excellent Alternative
for horses fed on timothy hay in win
ter. 1t will keep their digestion good,
and will be all the better if a table
spoonful of Old-procesS oil meal is
added to each mess. Wheat middlings
are not so laxative as bran. and are
better, therefore. for horses that have
TO work hard, though both the bran
and middlings contain much Of the nu-
triment that builds up bone and mus,

Securing Wool with Nnphthn

In the latest methods OF securing
wool naphtha is employed as the
cleansing substance. Ry forcing the
naphtha through the wool, which is
done by means Of a pump, all the nat
ural oil is extracted. 1t is claimed
that the naphtha does nOt injurc the
fiber, as alkali cleansing does, but
leaves the fleece in better condition
than when cleaned by any other pro
cess. \ further valuable feature OF
the new method is that after the
grease is extracted from the wool it
may again be extracted from the
naphtha in a pure state and can be-
used as a medicinal agent or as a
saponiticator in the purest of soaps. 1t
is stated that a plant which used this
method for the securing of 100000
pounds OF wool saved $4,000 pounds In
pure wool oil.

For the first few weeks of the pigs

Potatoes for Stock.

Potatoes a hardly be expected to
rise above n comparatively low figure
this winter, because of the very good
crop in this and other countries. This
viii lead 10 their use .as stock food
upon many farms where they are
grown. While they answer a good
purpose when fed to cattle and even
horses, more profit is derived from
their use as hog food. In this connec-
ton it is a fact worth knowing that
they should. in all cases, be boiled,
which process renders their starch
more easily digestcd that would other
wise be largely lost by escaping as
similation in the animal economy. De
fore boiling, it will save fuel and time
to have them pulped. 1t is also well to
add a quantity of peas or barley to
the mass, which will MOI be lost, and
will add a very desirable flavor. And
if n has a supply Of pumpkins, a
few cut up among potatoes before
boiling will still improve the favor and
quality of the food. As they coot
quickly, they need not be pulpcd, but
simply cut in chunks.
