IMPORTANT DAIRY EXPERIMENTS

Formerly calves were raised on the
farms OF Iowa and other agricultural
states by allowing them TO follow the
cows and take all the milk, just ss they
are now raised on the western ranges.
But when a creamery WAS established In
a peighborhood, while milk became too
valuable for calf food, and rs the soured
skim milk did not agree with the calves,
many were Knocked In the head at birth.
But by and by the separator came into
use, extracting the cream while the MIX
was sweet and warm, aud only needing
something 10 replace the fat extracted
for butter making 10 render IL ss good as
whole milk for the calves.
There il widespread practical inter
es, In the best methods OF supplemeoting
separator milk SO AS TO make II n good
substitute for the whole milk In CALI
feeding. For the purpose Of investigat-
ing this problem the Iowa station has
con niucted three experiments during
three years, and the results have been
very uniform and contrary to general
opinion and practice.
Oilmesl (faxseed meaD Is the feed
usually recommended and almost univer-
sally used for mixing with the separator
milk TO take the place Of the cream e1-
,racted for butter making. But In each
OF these three experiments oil meal has
given lower and more expensive gains
than either oatmeal or q mixture OF
corn meal and flaxseed, and even corn
meal alone gave better results than OIL
meal. =,
When IL Is remembered that oil meal Is
much more expensive than oatmeal OF
corn meal, the importance OF this test Is
spparent. But these results are just
nhat ought TO be expected. Cream Is
highly carbonaceous substance, and II u
reasonable to suppose that 1t would oe
best replaced BY carbonaceous feed hEe
corn meal rather than by highly nj
trosenous feed like oil meal.
These experiments further demonstrst.
ed the well-known capacity OF the call
TO return good results for the food con,
sumed. These calves gained one pound
for every one and one-fourth pounds OF
dry matter 10 the food they ate, and tni'
shows clearly that in the early life OF tns

SEA GULLS WON EASILY.
CHARLESTON Y. N. c. As DEFEAT
ED THE SAVANNAHIANS 10 TO 4.

The Home Team OutpIayed-Mc-
AVO9'S Failure to Hold KrenSOn
Responsible in IA Measure For she
@ustn To-day.
The Savannah Y. NJ. c. A. team proved
an easy mark for the Sea Gulls yesterday
afternoon, the Charleston club winning by
a score of 10 to + While Savannah play
ed good game at times and were strong
in the outheld, yet the team as a whole
was outclassed by the visitors.
The excursion from Charleston arrived
at the Plant system depot at 1O:SO O'Clock.
About 200 rooters came over to cheer the
Charleston boys and they did it in great
shape. The Charleston base ball crank
never fails to display the coors of his
team, and the excursionists were pro-
fusely decEed in red and blue The Sa-
vannah Y. NJ c. A. rooters were not
backward in displaying the blue and gold
and early in the morning the local cranks
wore their colors from button holes, from
bicycle handle bars and as hat bands.
About LOCO people Witnessed the game,
and the 500 Savannahians who were pres
ent left the park with heavy hearts. The
locals were not in it at any stage of the
game. Charleston took big lead in the
first inning, when it scored four runs,
and the home team was playing an uphill
game all the time. While the entire in
field of the home club was a weak one,
the greatest weakness was in the catcher.
McAvoy cannot hold Krenson, and this
accounts in a large measure for the big
gap between the scores. Five passed
balls ana any number of poor plays are
charged to the backstOp. Reaves at first
played very good game, and hit well
at the bat. In getting around the bases
he does considerable unnecessary work
that in a hard game would surely tell on
him. Brown, the crack first baseman of
the c. L. A. team, is out Of his place
at second. Cummings needs practice.
Murray did not get any chances in the
field. He made one hit and scored a run.
Charlton had on his batting clothes and
he smashed the ball for two clean base
hits. In the field he had one chance and
accepted it. The feature of the game was
a sensational catch by Garmany. In run
ming for a fly ball he slipped and fell,
and while in a sitting position he captured
the n.y. much to the surprise of the
Charleston runner who was on his way
to second.
The Charleston Y. NJ. c. A. team is a
good one. Matthews, who plays center is
one of the most brilliant amateur outield-
ers in the south. Halsey, the short stop,
is an all around good ball player at short
he is a second Herman Long, and at the
bat he rivals Delahanty. The Charleston
team is strictly an amateur one, and as
gentlemanly set of players as every
graced the diamond.
The Post Band of Charleston accompan-
led the excursion and gave several open
air concerts at the De Soto before the
game, besides furnishing music at the
park.
The Savannah Y. NJ. c. A. will go to
Charleston next week with a much strong
er team.
The following official score tells the
story of now the game was won and lost.
