Why a Unique Breeding Estabhshnhen'
Was Abandoned.
The bear and deer farm recently. started
near Superior. Wis, is thing OF the past.
The wiping out of the place by firs vas aG'
companied by tragedy, the details OF Whlen
were given ort by Frank Shantc, pail
breed Indian, whom James Allen, one OF tne
proprietors cf the farm, employed to ASSIST
him about the place. Allen is dead, the
deer and be;srs are free and the pens are IN
ashes.
When fire started in the cabin, which ad-
ioined the pen, the bears became wild with
fear and fury, and in making his escape
from the burning house Allen was forced 10
pass through the pen. No soonerhad he ap,
neared in the inclosure than he was attacked
by the enraged beasts. The rifles were ID
the burning house, and could not be reached. e
The instant one Of the animals struck Alien
down another made rush for him. Shanto
jumped into the pen. but too late TO save
Allen. He killed Two OF the bears, ana IN
making his escape wills badly burned about
the head and arms. The farm was started
by Allen and DR.. H. g. Harrison, OF New
York, who proposed to raise bear and ueei

HEIFERS AND CALVES.

1t is generally best to breed heifers
so that they will drop their first calf
in the spring, as the fresh, rank grass
has tendency to increase the size OF
their udders and thus make them good
mixers from the start. This means
that the heifer will be two years OF
age. Such early breeding may per
haps prevent the heifer getting her
full growth, but it will develop the
milk giving habit. The milk glands,
if exercised at such time, will attain a
size and vigor they are not capable of
once the animal has done growing.
While if they 60 over until three years
of age they are apt to lay on fat and
become beefy.
But to breed heifers thus early it is
necessary to feed them properly. They
require those kinds offoods which will
produce rapid growth, but not fat, as
the latter will develop the beef habit

RIPENING OF CREAM.

Much butter is lost where cream is
gathered in the ordinary way by churn-
ing it when it is not fully ripened. Of
course the churning mixes all the
messes of cream so that they cannot
be distinguished, but the cream that
has been SKINNED just before the
churning will not give its butter as
will that which is older. The last mess
or the last two messes before churn.
ing should be saved for the next time.
Then by stirring the cream slightly
each time new mess is added, all the
cream put in the churn will be evenly
ripened. and the cream will give all
the butter it contains, instead of let
ting part go into the buttermilk. -

oil meal, etc, are the proper foods 81
such o time. Corn is not suitable
food. as it is too fsttening. Il the
heifer is unthrifty and allow Of growth
the breeding should be delayed until
she is sufficiently advanced to endure
the drain on herlsystem. This Is g
case for the exercise OF discretion.
Much depends upon the condition Of
the animal and the treatment she has;
previously received: 8.
The greatest care should be used in
the first milking of the heifef, as the;
habitsshe. acquires during the brssking
in process will cling to her through
life. Any roughness OF III treatment
at such time will permanently Affect
her value. To keep her long IN milk
it is desirable the first year to milk the:
young COWS almost up to the time OF
calving, as the 6rst year settles many
of her qualities and confirms the milk
giving habit. s1
As rule, the first calf should never
be- raised. The reason for its exist
ence ceased when it got the heifer1
started to give milk. It is apt to be
small and puny. being the product OF
an immature parent; nor is it likely
to inherit qualities which may or may
not be dormant in the heifer, who is
still an unknown quantity. So that
for every reason the first calf should
be turned into veal. By the time thsi
second one arrives the heller has had
q chance to show the stuff Of which
she is made. so that it can be reaaiiy
determined whether it will pay to rear
her offspring. Many dairymen save:
the heifer calves from their two.year-s
olds. The temptation to do so Is GER
tainly strong when the heifer is q
pedigreed animal. But such action
will be sure to end in the running;
down of the herd and the loss OF those;
qualities which rendered it valuable.
Cultivation is required to fix and
strengthen inherited characteristics.
and il no time is allowed for this
these characteristics will be inevita-I
bly, weakened and finally lost. AM
other point also is lack Of stamina

Several short addresses being
made, nominations were declared
in order. The First ward being
the first called, unanimously
elected w. b. Shepard.
The Second ward was then
called. Geo. B. Harris and Jas.
A. Woodland were put III nomlna-
ton. Harris received "a votes,
Woodland 80; the latter was then
declared the nominee Of the End
ward.
The third ward nominated c.
Z. Branning by reclamation; the
4th ward selected J. w. Brannlng
in the same manner. Each OF
the above nominees, being call
ed, came forward and addressed
the convention, and at the same
time accepted the nominations
rendered them.

young, especially the young men.

company? IS it not true that the

our town has become headquar-
tiers for these lcWd ones Of a baSer
sort? DO they not with shame~
tut affrontery and brazen faces
make night hidcous with the
coarse ribaldry Of their vulgar
Jokes? Is it not within the prov
inCe of our next Mayor and COun-
Gil, whoever they may be, to ban
ish these occupants of baWdy
houses from our midst? If so,
then let them do it and thus wipe
at least, one foul blot from the
fair page Of our towns history
and take away one Of the great
leprous spots from our commune
ty and a snare from before Our
male population.

Would there not be shame anC

Manage? What is that? Doesit
mean to control? We manage a
horse; We use our superior human
intellect to control and guide his
superior physical strength so as
to obtain the best results. But a
wife is not horse. Where two
persons are properly married the
wife is superior to her husband
i'll as many respects ashe is supe-
rior to her i'll others. If happi~
ness is to be the result Of the
union, the first business of the
husband is to manage himself 50
as to keep himself always his
wife's respectful friend, always
her tender lover, always her
equal partner, always her supe-
rior protector. This will neces
sarily stimulate the wife to be al
ways an ad1nirlng friend, always
an affectionate sweetheart, always
a thrifty housewife, always con-
hding ward. And this will SO re-
act upon the husband that his
love for his wife will grow SO as
to make it easy for the husband
with all his faults to bear with all
the infr1nities of his cone and
only" wife. t. Il. Deems, y. y.
