RAISING THE CALF.
The Digestive Organs Must Be Given

The Digestive Organs Must Be Given
Proper Consideration.
It is of the utmost Importance
whether the calf is raised for the dairy
or for the butcher that it's digestion be-
Of it's existence, so that it may become Il
profitable animal To do this it is
necessary to feed carefully and keep the
calf supplied with sufficient quantity
of food to make it quiet and satisfied.
It is desirable, of course, to keep the
calves pushing ahead, but it is best to
make haste slowly. In your eagerness
to show growth, do not overfeed, or you
will upset the digestive apparatus and
check development for time at least.
Determine the destiny of the calf, and
feed accordingly. If heifer, and you
are raising it for dairy purposes, do moi
feed too much fattening food. If the
heller once acquires the habit of put
ting everything on her back it is prac-
tically impossible to induce her to
change in favor of the milk pail. Cows
are just as much creatures of habit as
men are, and we all know the difficulty
of reforming our ways. Therefore,
train the heifer in the way you wish
her to go. Give her such food as viii!
promote rapid growth. Bone and
muscle are the points to be aimed at.
fat heifer is apt to divert into flesh
the food intended for the production OF
milk. Therefore, cornmeal, timothy
hay and other carbonaceous foods are
to be eschewed. Oats, clover hay, wheat
bran. etc., will do much to stimulate
milk production. A few carrots or
other roots will give the occasional zest
required by the appetite Y. World.

Labor in Road Building Is AIisdirected
All Over the Country.
In recent report on the horseless
carriages Of France the United States
consul at Havre says that ':as solid,
smooth roads are quite essential to the
successful use Of the system, it will be
necessary, before it can be profitably
applied in the United States, to bring
our roads to the condition Of European
highways That is unquestionably
SO; for proof of which observe the ex-
Terrence Of a horseless carriage which

ton for it to move on. And that was
in New York state, too, and in the best
part of it. We do need better roads,
not only for horseless carriages, but for
horse-carriages as we'll, and mule
wagons, and oxcarts, and every sort of

vehicle, whether propelled by steam OF
naphtha, by hitched-up quadruped or
bestriding biped.
Our consul further suggests plan
for road improvement; OF, rather, for
raising the money for road improve
ment. It is the French plan, to wit, q
wheel tax. In France all carriages are
taxed. Those with seats for one or two
persons, $40 a year lin round numbers);
those with seats for three, SIS, and for
four, $50; while bicycles and tricycles
are taxed So each. These taxes are pay
able monthly, in advance, and must be
upon the road. A fine revenue is thus
obtained. No doubt similar system in
this country would also fill up the state,
county or township treasury. But we
don't want it. Such tax would be par
ticularly vexatious and annoying.
We don't need it, either. Our ordi-
nary system of taxation is sufficient
We spend enough money-or it's equiv
alent-on our roads now to make them
as good as those of France. The trouble
is we don't spend it in the right way.
Our labor is misdirected. At some sea-
sens Of the year, when farm work is less
pressing than usual, the farmer works
out" his road tax. Generally it is about
the worst time of the year for the roads;
tut that doesn't matter. He takes his
horses anl pillow and scraper, plows up
some burrows in the gutter between the
WagOntrauh and the sidewalks. and
scrapes the earth up into the middle
OF the road. That makes the road rough
and lumpy. You must drive over it at
walk, as over newly plowed field. If
the weather remains dry it gets dusty;
1t rain comes on it is a mass of mud.
in course of time it gets worn down
fairly smooth and hard; and then it is
time to work out" some more taxes,
and scrape up some more sods ana
loose dirt again.
That is what road-making has meant
in most country places, and what it still
means On thousands Of miles OF high
way in the most highly improved states
OF this union. If instead of that the
same amount of work had been given
for the last rs years to laying drains
nAu '1AonlliS ColloAu, VI udcdudIn, or
even good gravel roadways, we should
to-day have network of roads all over
these states on which any kind of We
hicle could run with ease at any time of
year. We need no carriage tax, nor
gold watch nor silver spoon tax, but
only an Intelligent and systematic APP
pllcation OF our ordinary revenue to
the making of loads on scientific
plan.-N. Y. Tribune.

Choice Poultry for Market.

It is greatly to the interest of the
farmer, the commission merchant and
the customer, 10 have only choice fowls
reach the market, and the farmer will
gain more than any other person.
There is a difference of five cents
pound on some classes of poultry,
''choice extra" and Ordinary" being
wide apart. Now. will it pay to fatten
a fowl? If six-pound fowl can be in
creased to eight pounds, Their. will be
a clear gain of two pounds, and the
original six pounds will have increased
in value 80 cents extra in price by rea-
son of the two pounds added. 1t is
only necessary to put lot of fowls
in yard together aud feed them On
a variety Of food for two weeks, pro-
vided corn is given literally, to change
them from inferior to choice, and the
gain in weight and price will be much
greater than the corresponding cost of
the food.-Prairie Farmer.

Profitable Farm Products

Milk, butter, poultry and eggs are
products that can be marketed every
month in the year. One is not CON-
pelllG to borrow money and wait until
a year rolls around before selling
such products. The successful meE
in such lines are not those who begin
with large numbers, but who com
mence with few and breed for what
they want. Their progress may DC
slow, but by beginning in a moderate
way, giving particular attention to thu
use of improved breeds, they reach in
a few years a secure position, as they
have receipts coming in daily from
such products, and are enabled to have
ready money at all times.
Take counsel from books, papers and
practical growers, but let it be tenn.

The New and the Old Ten Leads.

Much has been said of late by writer's and
expert whist players on the lead of ten from
king, jack, ten. and queen, jack. k.ten. For some
reason, better known to others than ourselves,
many whist-pIayers pick up every new thing
that comes along and advocate it without
first giving it q fair trial. 1 suppose it is the
desire to be ga little ahead of the other fel-
| lows" In the great majority of cases they are
'fads,' and few OF them come to stay. When

gress to report on a league system OF play get

few months ago we spent couple of weeks
with N. B. Trist of New Orleans, father OF the
American lead system, and he stated to us, in
answer to our question in regard to this ten
lead, that he saw no reason for dep rting from
the time-honored custom of leading 10 from
king, jack, ten and queen from queen,

Bum says:
The ten lead from king, jack, ten, with or
without others, has been for many years the
recognized lead from that combination, and
always proclaimed the holding of the male
honors. The queen lead, before the introduc-
tion OF American leads, signifed the presence
OF queen, jack, ten, with or without Others.
Since the adoption of the number-showtng
high card leads, the queen has also been led
from the ace, king, queen, and more than one
other, and from king, queen and three or
more Others On account of the supposed con-
fusion Created by the queen being led from
the sequence. queen, jack, ten, and also from
the other combinations, many of the expert
players OF the country, indeed, probably a
large majority of them, have abandoned the
lead of queen from the top of the sequence,
and lead instead the ten IRON that combine
ton. In order to prevent confusion with the
old ten lead from the king, jack, ten, they
have been obliged TO abandon that lead ard
to lead fourth best from suit containing that
combination.
Perhaps the new leads do tend to simplify
matters. The lead of Queen always signifies q
suit of five cards or more, with king or ace

jack, ten, with or without others. This is
without doubt some advantage, and were it
not for the abandonment of the old ten lead
from king, jack, ten, which the new ten lead
necessitates, we should be inclined 10 favor
the new lead. In our opinion, the question is
this: Are the advantages gained from the
