Treat a calf Like a Cow.


Until this summer we always turned
our calves in the orchard just as soon
as the feed was good and weather
warm: and gave them their ration of
milk and oil meal there. Although
they had shade and water, and not
withstanding the fact that as soon as
the pasture began to fail we fed them
green corn, they hardly ever did much
more than to hold their own during
dog days and fly time. We were never
satisfied with the growth. This year
they were turned into the pasture with
the cows and every night and morn
ing have been put into the stable, the
same as the cows, when they were fed
their milk. Since fly time they have
been left in the stable during the day
and turned out nights and have been
fed forage and watered the same as
the cows. There is marked improve
ment in their growth over former
years. AS Gov. Hoard says, they look
as if the skim milk had done them
some good. Hereafter the calves will
be treated the same as the cows-pro-
tected from all inclement weather and
from the scorching sun, and last, but
not least, from the fies.-Colon G. Lii.

viking short-Horn..

We observe some criticism Of the
rules recently adopted by the Short
horn Association for the registry Of
milking strains of that breed. The
tendency of the criticism is that q
pound Of butter day for seven days
is a very low amount to entitle COW
to registry as milk COW. AS q
finality this is probably true, but this
performance is not intended as final
ity. Moreover, pound of butter q
day is not, after all, a thing to he de-
spised. At the Columbian Exposition
in the ninety-day test the twenty-five
Jerseys averaged pound and nine
tenths Of butter q day, and in the
thirty-day test fifteen Jerseys averaged
1.S6 pounds per day, or were credited
with that amount, the yield of butter
fat being one-sixth less that the guam
tity stated. 1t must be remembered,
however, that these were the very
choicest animals that could be gather
ed together from n breed that has been
long established as a butter-producing
breed. A pound day for the Short
horns will do very we'll to start with.

One thing which fisherman who

Gentleman's Magazine.
Silkworms, 1t would appear, not only
contribute the silk that goes to the
constitution Of the ordinary line, but
their intestines are manipulated in the
manufacture Of that portion Of the line
to which the hook is attached. The
figures quoted to me as expressing the
number of silkworms annually de-
stroyed for gutnaking found to be al
most Incredible. In one. mandatory
alone from 100000 to 5000, 900 strands
OF gut are used annually-each strand
representing silkworm.

raised in Spanish Murcia by peasants
whose sole livelihood depended upon
their skill at worm farming. "1'he

tended by women in the most regular
and careful manner. The worms are
fed upon mulberry leaves at regular in
tervals; between the periods Of feeding
they sleep. This goes ON for three
weeks, when full growth is attained;
then they are collected into buckets Of
diluted sulphuric acid, which kills them
instantly and hardens their skins. Sold
by weight to gutmakers, they are quick
ly operated upon to obtain the gut.
The girls employed in such manufac-
tory break the skin, take the end of the
gut between thumb and forefinger, and
draw it out in straight strand; it is
then cleaned by secret process,
bleached until beautiful silver sheen
appears, sorted into lengths-thick-

punched into hanks of 100 strands, ten
hanks constitute a bunch, and ten

The Death of Lady Burton.

The recent death of Lady Burton in
England removes from the earth a
woman of strong character and one
who saw many phases OF life. AS the
wife of Sir Richard Burton, the scholar,
traveller, translator and author, she
shared his journeys and hardships in
the orient and by her sympathy and
encouragement did much to make pos
sible his vast labors in reproducing for
English readers the literature of the
east. She became an accomplished
linguist and was the best-read woman
Of her time in certain directions. Her
destruction Of many of husbands
manuscripts after his death was an act
that caused much harsh criticism a
few years ago. Her motives may have
been praiseworthy from certain
standpoint. The eroticism of oriental
literature is not of kind that should
perhaps, entitle it to wide circulation
Nevertheless, the world of intellectual
people was Mortified to learn that much
of the most valuable work of a great
orientalist had been sacrificed to the
narrow prajudices of woman who had
felt the influences Of wide culture with.

The causes Of tainted milk are thus
summarized by DR.. Gerber, the Swiss
scientist: Poor fodder; poor or dirty
water, used for watering the cows or
for washing the cans; foul air in the
COW stable; lack of cleanliness in milk
ing; keeping the milk too long in too
warm and poorly ventilated places;
neglecting to cool the milk quickly
after milking; lack Of cleanliness in
the care Of milk; poor transportation
facilities; sick cows, and cows being
in heat.
