To Prevent Securing in Calves.

Securing in calves usually indicatei
indigestion, and is to be avoided by ra,
tional feeding and good care. Calves
should be fed as near as possible to the
manner in which they feed naturally
when with their dams. The quantity
should be small, and the feeds fire.
qnent. Milk should never be given cool
but in temperature similar to that
which flows from the udder. The
temperature of calf's stomach is 9s
degrees. Supposing we feed it with
liquid at so degrees, that liquid must be
raised to 9s degrees before digestion be.
GINS. A delicate stomach refuses to
do this, and rids itself of the cold mass
in the form of scour. Sour milk is quite
unfit for young calves, and separated
milk should have little faxseed Jelly
added to it, SO as to compensate for the
fat removed. A tendency to securing
may be checked by giving a teaspoon.
full of lime water in each feed.-N. Y.

Remedy for Hard Milking.

Hard milking is commonly due to a
small milk duct or want of elasticity OF
the muscles that close the end of the
teat. This may be remedied by making
u smooth wooden or bone peg, slightly
thicker IN the middle than at each end,
and with a small knob at one end, to pre-
vent it from slipping into the duct
After milking, this is well CREASED with
fresh vaseline and inserted in the teat.
In few days the tensions on the muscle
will loosen it, and the milking will be
freer. 1t must not be continued toe
long, or the contrary condition. run

THE COST OF BUTTER.
Experiments Prove Dairy Farming to Be
Founded on n Rock.

Founded on n Rock.
In the dairy contest at the worlds
fair butter was made at cost of about
12h cents per pound. The Minnesota
experiment station has since made 1t
Mt cost of 10 cents per pound. Many
leading dairymen figure the cost at
about 10 to 13 cents. This includes The
cost of feed ut the market price, but
also the cost of labor, interest on the in
vestment, etc. You hear dairymen talk
on every hand when the price of cream
cry butter gets below 30 cents per
pound that there is no money in the
creamery, for when the four cents Per
pound for making is deducted 1T brings
the price received nearly or quite down
to the cost, that Is, figuring the cost as
above, at 10 to 13 cents. But there is
one thing, md very important one,
too that they seem 10 overlook. In max
ing pound of butter cost IL cents we
have received pay for our crops at mar
ket value and have sold them to our
COWS right at home. We get the cash
for our crops at a market value when
we sell butter at the cost of production
G2h cents per pound), ond we have
saved ourselves the trouble of drawing
those crops to marhet. A man can bet
ter afford to sell OUTER at the cost OF
production than he can corn or oats OF
wheat when the cost of pound of but
ter includes the feed and labor at their
market value, as it does in the above
estimates because he has already re.
ceived his profits on his crops in the
1914 cents per pound for butter. This
explains why the dairy farmer, if he un.
derstands his business, is more prosper.
Gus than his neighbor who sells his hay
and grain instead of feeding it to good
cows right at home. Do you ewsr stop
to think that some farmers are selling
their very farm load by load, in haul.
ing their C ops to market every year
and putting nothing back on theil
farm? The basic principles of dairy
farming, and more especially butter
making, are correct, for it consumes
the products of the farm and returns
the manurial elements to the soil after
the marketable dairy products have
been taken out. A ION of gilt-edge but.
ter does not contain over so cents in
value in fertilizing elements. Dairy
farming is founded on rock, and the
farmer who has energy and knowledge
enough to get good herd of cows anc
keep them as they should he kept, will
surely be successful, and he will leave
to future generations soil that is ca
pable of feeding the human race at 6
| profit.-Hoard's Dairyman.

easiness.
The narration of several experiences
OF travel led one of the Americans in
the smoking-room of the steamer to
tell this story: "There is in Hanover,
as some of you know" he began, "a
beautiful garden, Herrenhausen, on
which the kings of Hanover, when
there were kings of Hanover, lavished
much attention. Some years ago Wis
tied Herrenhausen with my wife and
children and some persons whose ac-
quaintance we had made on the
steamer. 1t was a beautiful day in
summer, and we all felt in the highest
spirits. 1t happened that at the hotel
some one had told me of the statue OF
former margarine of Hanover which
was soon to be unveiled in Herren-
hausen. 1t was to stand in she'll
shaped structure, the whole of which
was boarded over at that time.
When our party reached the she'd
like affair l began to tell what it was
there for, who the margarine was and
so on, pretending vast knowledge OF
the whole business. One of my chill
dren then wanted to know If we
couldn't see the statue. In a joking
way L said certainly, and going up to
the gate of the shed drew bunch OF
keys from my pocket. l did it as If L
were going to open the lock, and act
ually put the key into it, taking the
first that came to hand. l turned the
key, to carry out the joke, and was as
tonished beyond measure to find the
lock yield and the door open.
MY little daughter clapped her
hands and exclaimed: %, papa's opened
the door, and rushed in to see the
statue. The others followed, while |
fer a moment was too dazed to say a
word. 1 began to feel more or less
alarm. l had heard great deal about
the strictness of German enforcement
of law, and knew that technically /
had committed burglary. The ques-
tion also arose in my mind whether l
could not be hauled up for lese majestic
and sent to prison for six months. At
the same time it would have been en-
barrassing and humiliating to confess
to my children that l had made a mis-
take and had no right in there.
THE statue was covered with cloth,
and so l managed to hustle the party
out of the shed after short time. One
of the laborers chanced to pass, and he
was evidently surprised to see us in
there. He must have taken me for the
sculptor or something of the kind, and
did not summon a policeman. was in
the greatest trepidation until 1 relocked
the door and finally got away with my
family and friends. There were prob
ably million chances to one thatmy
key wouldn't fit that particular lock
but l haven't liked to be too practical
in my jokes since that time. "-Phila'

Trees Need Moisture In Winter.

1t is an almost universal mistake tc
think that trees require no water, or
but very little in winter. There ia
evaporation and u great deal of it ak
through the winter, and if moisture is
not close at hand the tree viii. die.
Keeping this in mind it will be seen
why there is great benefit in mulching
newly planted trees. 1t keeps the frost
from the roots if placed on the ground
thick enough, which it should be, aud
IN this way it is easier for the roots to
sustain the calls the tree makes for
moisture to meet the loss by eVapora,

Why Butter Production PAYS.

There is one advantage the dairyman
has who sells butter, and that is he does
not sell the fertility of his farm. The
real value of the manurial substances
remain in the skim milk. Butter is car
bonaceous, and may be said to be COM
posed of nothing that comes from the
soil. AS dairyman expressed it: But
ter is sunshine and water" Dairy
farms most always increase in value,
not only because but little if anything 10
carried away in the butter, but also be-
cause large quantity of manure Is
made and the soil thus becomes more
capable of producing each succeeding
year.

ARSENIC ON SOIL.
When the Use of Insecticides Is Injurious
to Vegetation.

When the Use of insecticides Is Injurious
to Vegetation.
We are asked if arsenic falling from
sprayed trees is not injurious TO vege-
tation. With the action of the rains and
the falling of the leaves most of the
arsenic which is applied to trees finally
reaches the soil. What then becomes
of it? If lime has been used with tho
spray, the arsenic will be insolublc
when it falls upon the soil. 1t is possi-
ble that the organic acids in the soil.
and also carbonic acid, may dissolve
some of the arsenic, but it would ba
almost surely made immediately insol-
uble again by combination with lime
or other soil constituents. If soluble
arsenic is placed on the soil, it probably
almost Immediately goes INTO insoluble
combinations, and remains where It
was placed unless slightly washed down
by mere mechanical means. Now some
plants appear to have the power to take
up every minute quantities of arsenic
and still thrive-probably so minute
that the incest chemical tcst can scarce
ly discover it-but any apprrciablc
quantity of soluble arsenic in the soil
quickly destroys the roots. If, there
fore, the grass and other plants under
sprayed trees continue to live, there
need be no fear that the arsenic will
injure the soil.-Farmers' Voice.

A nooK OF TRAVEL.
Tho Southern Pacific Marks an Ern In
Railway Literature by tho Publica-
tIon of a Snmptuona Hook.


The railway literature of the past decade
has, In some instances, been so surprisingly
good that as examples of book-malSing it
has oScasioned revolutions in the art of
printing.
The Passenger Department of the South
ern Pacific is about to put forth n book
which will make q distinct advance upon
anything heretofore achieved in this line,
and which is likely to astonish those con-
servative people who wonder how costly
books, especially prepared, can be given
away. The work referred to is entitled
''Through Storyland to Sunset Seas,n and
was written by 81. s. Kneedler. 1t will be
issued as handsome volume of $50 pages,
printed on enameled paper, made especially
for the work, and illustrated by two hun
dred fine half tone engravings executed in
the highest style of art. The work contains
no advertising. except as the narrative in
directly advertises the Southern Pacific.
1t is q narrative, largely in dialogue, Of
the journey which four people made over
the entire Southern Pacific System, and it
tells ceverly all the things of interest which
they saw and learned along the way. The
unpublished romance which attached to the
section OF Louisiana traversed-the story
of the Acadian and the traditions of La
Fitte, as well as much of romance in family
history, are dwelt upon, together with
anecdotes of the Texas plains and the table
lands of Arizona and New Mexico where
Indian and Spanish rule have left q legacy
of tragic history. Then up and down
through California the story takes the
reader to every point of interest, and as
far North as Portland, Oregon, and out on
the Central Pacific across the Sierras to Salt
| Lake.
The book is the embodiment of careful re-
search and it describes all the points of in
terest along the line and tellsso graphically
| the story of what is to be seen that it is a
| perfect guide book, while at the same time
| the narrative style which has been adhered
to takes it out of the class of guide books
and makes it what it really is--a work of
travel, and one as fascinating to a person
| who has never seen the great Southwest or
| the Paradise of the Pacific Coast, as to him
who has traversed all the region. 1t is a
book which people will read and keep, and
| when one contemplates the cost of publish
ing such a work it is marvel that the
| Southern Pacific generously offers to send
it to any applicant who will send 20 cents in
stamps to pay the cost Of postage. Write
to S. F. B. Morse, General Passenger Agent,
Southern Pacific, New Orleans, La, enclose
20 cents in stamps and receive in return a
book which, in the regular way, would cost
| you S1.50 or $500.
