Farmer Who Claims to Have
Struck the IdeaI Plan VI. y

E a Farmer Who Claims to Have
Struck the IDEAL Plan 8s
We feel that we have now, after try
ing nearly all the different ways Of
feeding and caring for calves, struck
the ideal plan. We wean at from three
to five days of age, feed DAMS milk,
fresh from COW, whole, for the first
two weeks. then mix this with skim
milk, adding a little more of the latter
each day until the calf is about one
month old, when we feed on skim milk
entirely, with small amount Of
ground and cooked flax seed to take
the place of butter fat taken out Of the
milk. Having a Baby separator ard
separating the milk warm from the
cows and feeding the skim milk imme-
diately. gives the calves perfectly
sweet milk.
We always aim o'feed each calf lust
q little less than he wants, but never.
over ten quarts at a feed night and
morning. This feeding is always done
by the same man, and not left to the
boy, or whoever happens to have the
most time. The greatest and most fire.
Quent mistake is in feeding a calf too
much at one time We also give our
calves what they will eat up clean of
the same feed the cows get, usually
corn and oats ground, equal parts by
weight This feed is put into a large
trough where all can have access to it.
During this time Of year we turn
them into small pasture lot in the
day time, not so much for the grass
they get as for the exercise and fresh
air. When stabling them, have large,
roomy box stalls, and when feeding
them milk each calf is sanctioned, 50
that they cannot get at each other to
suck ears, and are thus kept perfectly
dry. We have, under this treatment,
raised the finest, largest, strongest and
most vigorous crop Of calves we have
ever raised.-O. p. Thompson, in Wall
aces Farmer.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

Furnished by Topeka Grain and stock Ex-
change. 526 Kansas Avenus.
CHICAGO, Jan. 25.- Another day of
activity and runaway markets. Early
features were in favor of the long de-
ferred reaction Foreign orders to sell
wheat. unchanged quotations for consoIs
and dull cables with rumors of large
offerings of Russian and Argentine
wheat. Local traders again tried to
force a break and considerable short
wheat was put out but though the
fever of yesterday had abated the strong
situation in wheat was not forgotten and
the continued buying by the country was
added to the fear of manipulation. The
hand of a we'll known operator being ap-
parent in the market. Fluctuations &C
tive and market very nervous. Exports
for the week unusually large and visible
supply decrease on Monday will prop
ably be larger than same date last year.
New York stocks of red wheat reported
exhausted. Unless all signs fail
we are in for big advance but huctua-
lions will be active and set backs severe
all the way mp. The buying fever struck
corn and oats today, aud the biggest adj
vance record for a month was scored.
Shorts became alarmed at the position of
wheat. Provisions also active and higher,
with light movement of hogs. Packers
are good sellers on the advances but out
siders hold on.

ONE DAY SAVES $1,000.
Holiday on the Santa Fe in the Interest
of Economy.
ALL THE SHOPS CLOSED TODAY.

General Railroad News of Interest in
IEansaa-PersOnaI and Otherwise.
Over the entire Santa Fe system today
the machine shops, car shops, repair
yards and all other branches of the me-
chanical department with the exception
of the roundhouses, are closed, and the
employees are having an unwished for
holiday. The order authorizing this
move was sent out from Topeka late yes
terday afternoon.
The closure of the shops is only for to-
day, however, and is not the initiative of
a plan for shutting down the shops one
dav each week as many of the employees
suppose. The closure is the suggestion
of the new management, and Is based on
the theory of economy which Is being
gradually introduced.
1t seems that it became apparent to
the officials of the new company that the
road would not be able to earn
during the month of January an
amount sufficient to defray the
expenses of the various departments
for that period. probably on account of
the greatly reduced freight traffic. As
an immediate measure was necessary to
reduce the deficit If possible, 1t was de-
cided to close the shops and let the me-
chanicel department furnish the savings.
This saving will amount in the neigh
borhood of $1,000, and although it can
not possibly cover the deficit, it will be
q very noticeable reduction.

had conversation with him about three
blocks he owned in Mulvane's addition.

CHANGE OF CREWS.
Santa Fe Engine Men Affected by Drop

Santa Fe Engine Men Affected by Drop
ping Five and Six.
The discontinuance by the Santa Fe of
trains Nos. and 6, between Chicago and
Kansas City, will materially affect two
engine crews running from Topeka to
Marcelline, and will cause the taking off
of five crews between MarceIline and
Chicago.
Since January 10, 1895, the engine
crews on through Chicago trains have
been running from Topeka to Marcelline
and return. Prior to that time their run
east ended at Kansas City. On account
Of the additional expense of keeping en-
ploy es for the purpose of taking the en-
gines TO and from Kansas City to the
roundhouse at Argentine, it was decided
to continue the run to Marcelline, a dis
lance of 1853 miles from Topeka.
As the Chicago division of the road
extends from Chicago to Kansas City,
the continuance of the run to Marcelline
necessitated the transfer of four crews of
Chicago division men to Topeka, the
through runs being divided between
eight crews, four eastern division and
four Chicago division.
The change in trains and will now
make it necessary to transfer one of the
Chicago division crews to that division,
and will cut down the mileage of one of
the eastern division crews some 81 miles,
The transfer of the Chicago division
crew from Topeka will be made on the
plan of seniority, and that crew will
probably take run between Marcelline
and Fort Madison.

In Relation to the Elevator fair at

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Col Gordon is reported in Fridays
evening JOURNAL as giving his boys
instructions to except only young people
of any race from using his elevator.
About six weeks ago l entered this
elevator to go to Judge Netherlands
room. The boy said: "The boss don't
low colored folks to ride on this eleva-
tor" l replied: so yes, 1 don't suppose
he'd object to respectable ones" (Col.
Gordon wasn't then in sight) The boy
hesitated about minute, then took me
up. On descending, he resumed the
ing on his elevator he'd cuss you" l
asked: docs he curse white people for
riding on it?" 10 nor "Well," l said.
81 am not riding on here as black,
pink. or green man, surely not as white
man, simply as man, and l don't fancy
he'd 'cuss' me for that" The boy who
took me up that time said: "He will,
for / have heard him, he always does, an
it makes me mad to always hear him
abuse my own color"
/ retorted: "If ever he curses me sim
ply for going up or down on his public
elevator, he'd hear from me-"
I am glad to read that Col. Gordon
gives of his cold victuals to feed the poor,
and yet, for the nonce, would ask him
to ''read, mark, mediate and inwardiy
digest the thirteenth chapter of the
first epistle of the Apostle Paul to the
Corinthians. 1t will l am sure, do him
good. 1t will make US all pretty nearly
what we ought to be in our relations
with the other.

1t is to He Given at Hamilton Hall Febru-
airy 22. WRshingtOn's Birthday
The Order of Railway Conductors of
this city have decided to give their an
nual ball at Hamilton hall, February 90
and preparations are now in progress
for the event which, without Question.
will be decided success.
Arrangements have been made with
Division Superintendent e. T. Mcclellan
for transportation for conductors and
their families over the entire division,
and as the high standard of the balls
given by the Topeka o. r. Z. is known
and appreciated by the conductors
throughout this state large attendance
from other points is assured.
Conductors George Speer, G. N. Til
ford and D. F. Shafer have been selected
as the committee of arrangements and it
is their intention to make the 1895 ball
rival any railroad ball ever given in this
city.
A novel feature which is to be intro.
duced at the ball will be the attachment
of coupon to each ticket which will
entitle the holder to an elaborate supper
prepared for the occasion at the Fifth
Avenue hotel

ton of Nine. Modjsska remains unim
proved. All hope of her appearance
here has been abandoned and arrange
ments have been made for a return en-
gagement next April, but this is condi-
toned on her ability to appear. Today
the physicians issued the following bull
letin:
Mime. Modjeska was attacked by
phegmasia thrOmbo phlebitis, serious
affection which renders every move
ment of the arm painful and absolutely
incapacitates her from filling her en-
gagements.
In addition they say their patient may
not be able to return to the stage for
three or four weeks, and tonight it was
decided to cancel the second weeks en-
Eagement in Chicago, and telegram
was sent to that effect The opinion of
many is that Modjeska will never appear
on the stage again.
