FEEDING THE CALVES,
Fla1seed Cruel and SKINNED Milk Assure
Good Growth.

Good Growth.
A .Ifmay be fed SKINNED milk when
one week old, says the National Stock
man, with the addition of one gill of
boiled tlaNseed, increasing the ration
gradually to a pint a day when four
weeks old, and then adding fine mid
dlings or corn and oats ground together,
or a pint TO one quart of oats unground
FlaXseed cruel, with plenty of skim.
med milk, will produce a very fine
growth, leaving the calf as mellow to
the touch as if sucking the COW. A calf
two months old will gain three pounds
per day on this ration. The oil taken
off in the cream can be replaced for one
fifth of the money value of the cream
Butter dairymen may raise a calf to
each COW upon skinned milk and a
little additional food, such as indicated,
and get one-fourth to one-t third as much
profit out of the refuse milk as out of
the butter. Selling butter robs the
land of nothing vaiuable-only carbon
which has no manurial value.

Floors for Poultry Houses.

You may think that any kind Of a
floor will do for poultry houses, if SO,
look at the benefits and non-benefts de-
rived from poor or good floors. Have
you not noticed fowls that had the roup
just because the floor was damp or ad-
mitted draughts through its openings?
Have you not noticed the numerous YER
min harbors many floors have? The
fowls stand during the day on the floor
their feet are in direct contact with it
and their entire body being close to the
floor it must surely be OF some conse-
Quence as to the condition of the floor.

Sudden changes of the ration do not
prove of advantage with dairy cows.
A change of food should be gradual.
1t requires but very little to cause 4
COW to fall off in milk, and the feeding
should be done judiciously. Oilmeal
should always be used by commencing
with a small quantity, half a pound a
day being sufficient, increasing an
ounce a day until pound or more of
the meal is allowed. 1t should be mixed
with other food, as it some times gums"
liz the mouth and may be rejected.

Oregon has been known as the
''Web-foot state" During the rainy
season the precipitation is so constant
and heavy that it is humorously said
the climate of that state is best appre-
ciated by animals having webbed feet.
1t is also called the Beaver state"
from the former abundance of these
snimals along its water courses.

CHARLES T. FOWLER,
Justice of The peuc,
Perfume of Flowers.

1t is claimed that the perfume of
flowers disappears as soon as the starch
in the petals is exhausted; and it may,
it is said, be restored by placing the
flower in a solution of sugar, when the
formation of starch and the emission
of fragrance will at once be resumed.

Comes

vHIith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Sup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

The Danger ofSilanco.

once had a case (said a member of the
BARI against a man in the country which was
as clear as daylight in my favor, but, by the
cunning of his lawyer, he had continued %
coming to trial for about two years.
At last the case was called, late in the
term and late in a hot day, the court and
jury tired and impatient. l stated the facts
and produced the evidence, which was all
on my side.
The judge asked the counsel whether they
wished to argue the case, stating that he
hardly thought it necessary to submit it in
so plain a matter. The lawyers agreed to
submit it without argument. The jury went
out and Immediately returned with a verdict
for the defendant.
As soon as the court adjourned I sought
the foreman of the jury, and asked him how
in the name OF common sense they came to
render such a verdict.
"Why, you see" said he, 1--WE didn't
think much of the lawyer against you, and
it wasn't strange he didn't have nothing to
say; but, squire, the fact is we thought you
was about one of the smartest lawyers in the
country. and If you conldn't find nothing to
say on your side it must be q pretty hard
case, SO we had to 60 against you"

Another strange romance has come IN

known as George Barnes, the hermit .
who died at jacksonville q few months
ago, left . fortune Of 500. 600, which will

James Barnes, q welLknown citizen OF
Paterson, and the other IL William, Of
Fran Kiln, In the same state.
.'The story of how their brother George
lived and died, leaving them his fortune,
il a romance" said Attorney Oscar T..
Shuck. I'm their youth the three broth
ers lived with their parents on the heights
Of POvershun. N. j., simple farmer boys.
George, the most ambitious son, fretted
under the restraints of farm life and de-
termined to marry before he had reached
his ma j0rity and come west. He fell deep
ly In love with q young woman and spent
mnch OF his time In her company, but his
father deeply objected TO the match and
forbade the marriage. The result was a
bitterness between father and son, and
George was severely reprimanded. The
trouble eliminated In Georges determine
ton to leave home, and one morning 43
years ago he babe his family farewell.
~ am going west he said at parting,
and 1 shall never return. Ii / cannot mar
ry the girl l love l shall lead q hermit's

illustrating his unlimited generosity and
original methods of the distributing It, was
told Saunterer the other day.
The ''sugar king Of Broad street was q
confirmed bachelor, As everybody we'll knew.
His brother, the late Mahlon d. Spaulding,
used to live in Beacon street, and was the
father Of 4 happy family. At the birth Of
the FIRST child word was sent to the rich
uncle that the child had been named after
him, '.John p. Spaulding. 3d." Uncle
John responded with 1 check for $4,000
A couple Of years later another heir was
born, this time q girl. and Uncle John waa
again notified that the little daughter had
been named after him. This was I stickler
for the uncle, and he wrote for particulars.

Names Veteran Porpoise Hunter.

E
Mr.. Simeon Skillings OF Peaks island
brought to Portland the other day about
three gallons Of porpoise oil which he sold
for 80 cents q gallon. He is II years old
and has shot more pOrpOises than any man
IN Case bay and probably in the state.
He went out two months ago In q cunning
float of Portland headlight and shot two
pOrpOises. the oil of which he extracted
himself. There Is also some very nice
steak in a porpoise il one knows where to
find 1t. Mr.. Skillings has hunted porpois-
es for Over forty years and has averaged
at least five a year, making q total of over
200. On one occasion he shot six in one
day.
There is no great profit In 1t but there is
splendid sport IL n is able to do It. 1t
requires a peculiar knack, similar to that
OF shooting birds on the wing. The por.
pOises that are found of Portland head
light do not often leap out of the water, as
do those seen out in the ocean. They sim
ply show their backs for an instant and
then roll quickly out OF sight again. Mr..
Skillings uses No. T shot, which is slight
ly smaller than buckshOt. He fires Just as
the shining back first appears, otherwise
it would be out o sight again before the
shot could get there. Very few men get
pOrpoise shooting in CascO bay. The p0r-
poses are not at all common and 1t re-
quires lots of skill and patience to get one.
Probably Mr.. SkilliDgs and his son are
the only men in the bay who make a regu-
lar practice OF hunting porp0ises every fall.
But imagine q man u years old going out
In the ocean In September and shooting
two %p0rpOises. 1t would be beyond the
abilities Ut most young men in the shoot
ing line.-Portland Press.

To-day and Yesterday.

If the life led by women half q century
ago was not actually unhealthy. the condi-
tons were certainly not 70 favorable as
they are nov. Fresh air was looked on rs
a doubtful blessing, exercise was pooh
poohed as unnecessary, baths were not unt-
versal, f0ur-pOst beds were still hung with
heavy curtains, a draught vas sudden
death, and the medicine chest was unlock
ed far too often. The laws of hygiene
were little studied as far as children were
concerned. The modern child may, but
in most instances 1t leads . happier and
healthier life, and has twice the freedom
of mind and body that was granted to the
young Of the last generation.

WE I KNOW HIM.

Listen and YOU will hear him say,
About q dozen times a day,
When things refuse to 60 his way:
That's Just my luck!'
He mingles with the markets throng
And plunges into stocks headlong:
Excusing all his guesses wrong
With lust my luck!'
From large events OF loss and gain
To failures just to catch the train,
The sole consolerof his pain
II Just my luck!"
Fools now and then are right by chance.
And when luck seems his way to Glance
And all his pleasures to enhance,
Beaming with self-complacency.
