tory Results Quickly.
The calls foot is golden now. Calves
which went begging for buyers few
years ago are now worth ten dollars
almost as soon as they are dropped
There is a great shortage of feeding
steers ali over the corn and grass states-
This shortage is temporarily supplied
by the enormous importations from
every point in the coHntry- 1t is, how
ever. only a shifting Of cattle from one
point to another. and there is no addi-
ton made to the cattle stock by such
movement, except to the extent that
they come from Canada, and even this
is no real addition, for the reason that
the beef from these cattle is supplied
in the United States instead of Canada,
and has no effect whatever on the beef
markets of the world. Any increase
of cattle stock must come through the
growing of calves, and the farmer has
dead sure market at profitable price
for his calves for a year or two to come.
Hence, the calf should be watched not
for the sake of watching and thinking
of the pleasing prospect of a good price,
but for the purpose OF securing as much
| thrifty growth and as good form as
possible, for the better the forHa the
higher the price per pound it will bring.
and the larger the calf the greater num-
Der of pounds there is to sell at a price
fixed by the quality How to feed, that
| calf to produce the best results Is one
of the important questions Just now.
Here, as in everything else, it pays TO
take lessons from nature. Dame Ma
ture feeds,th calf often, feeds the milk
sweet and feeds it warm. The calf that
has bellyful of cold milk in the 1.aorn-
ing and another at night, with no drink
during the day, and is exposed to. the
hot sun, viii not bring a. big price,.
Nature feeds the calf balanced r-a-
! ton. If it is fed skim-milk that ration
is unbalanced, by the withdrawal of the
| butter fat. and this must be supplied in
some way. The cheapest substitute for
the first few. weeks is a jelly made 0y
boiling oil meal. After the first three
or four weeks oat meal should be sub,
stituted gradually, and corn meal. as
gradually substituted, in part at least
for the oats. Corn at IL cents per bush.
Ell, and oats at the same price, will
furnish the proper balance "a a much
lower rate than butter fat There are a
thousand little things in connection
with calf growing that can be learned
only by experience, but the man who
observes, thinks, reads and practices
will very soon catch on and become al
expert. There is a very solid bottom
under this business now, and the farm
er that has a strain OF native cattle COM
bining milk and beef forms is the man
who can ill the demand to the pest adj

ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.
Incidents Proving That Fishes and

Incidents Proving That Fishes and
Insects Have Memory.
Many arguments are made, sogNe af-
firming that animals, fishes and insects
have memory, others that they do not.
Among the former Herr Edinger, the
German anatomist, relates that young
schoolgirl kept a fine, large caterpillar
in box and fed him carefully on choice
leaves. At first when it was necessary
to remove him he Immediately curled
himself when placed upon leaf. But
in short time, learning that no harm
was intended, he remained stretched
ont. Whenever stranger touched
him, he at once curIed himself as be-
fore. A civil engineer at Courseul1es-
Sur-Mer asked workman why he kept
great number of oysters on a de-
elivity as they were dry at low tide.
He replied that the oysters were being
educated" before being sent to Paris,
and taught to economic water in their
shells Oysters Immediately from the
water are said to open on the road and
arrive at their destination. dried out.

placed where they are alternately I'M

perience discomfort if they open un-
der the latter conditions. When they
learn to wisely retain the liquid they
are sufficiently advanced to pass their
examinations in Paris. The historic
carps in the pond of the castle al
Fontainebleau will pass piece of ap-
pie thrown to them in disdain, feeling
assured they will never be able to
masticate it. but will wait with great
patience while the hardest bread be-
comes soft in the water, knowing by
past experience that 1t will soon be In

SOME HARD FACTS.
The ROnd Problem Viewed from n
strictly Prectical Standpofnt

StrtetAy PRACTICAL StandpOfnf.
Some of our contemporaries seem TO
take fort granted that better roads,
necessarily implies paved roads. rolled
by wagon tires at least six inches wide
and that it is a choice between such
roads and nothing worthy the name of
road improvement. This we consider
Il mistaken and somewhat unfortunate
view of the situation. If we are to have
nothing better than wind work till the
general construction of paved roads
becomes = possibility in country dis
tTicts the present generation will not
live TO see better average country roads
than we have now. No one understands
better than the farmers themselves that
they are not to build hard roads. partic-
ularly in districts remote from rock
and gravel supplies, and capitalists are
not likely to do the work for them.
The utilization Of convict labor on the
roads should result in q considerable
increase in hard-road mileage, but such
increase would be comparatively slow
and its effect upon the general traffic
of the country hardly noticeable for
many years. In the meantime We
should make better use of the means at
hand. As we remarked some time since
with a properly adjusted cash system in
force and the improved road machinery
now available, eve should have much
better earth roads. and at no greater
cost TO the people than now.-Agricul

How to Utilize Fans for Christmas Gifts.

Palm-leaf fans are excellent material
from which to evolve Christmas gifts
and friend who rejoices in the posses
sion of a country house will appreciate
wall ornaments for her cool-tinted rooms
more than some heavy. Inappropriate
and useless article of greater intrinsic
value. The palm-leaf fan is always use
full. as well as ornamental and it can be
purchased in variety of shapes. The
fresh. smooth surface is almost easy
to paint on as canvas.
When there is q man in the family. and
frequently when there is not. newspa-
pers accumulate with frightful and dis
orderly rapidity. Invariably some of
them must be kept for future reference
and for these "A receptacle made of three
palm-leaf fans is convenient. To make
ii three large fans of gequal size are
needed The handles Of two of them
should be cut off clearly. close to the
fan as possible. and gold or silver tinsel
cord should be sewed around the edges In
a series of fancy loops. The cord on the
two upper fans need be carried only par
TALLY around. as more than half of the
fans are hidden. The lower one is deco
ated all around with the cord and with
a fringe of crescents and sequins also.
The three fans are placed one above the
other. One is arranged with the handle
at the top. another is joined to it by n
strong lacking along the edge of the top
fan. forming a sort of pocket. the bot
tom fan being attached to the center one
in the same way.
Odd workings are made by joining two
palm-leaf fans by putting of silk around
the edges.
The Japanese fan is more decorative
to employ in fancy work than the palm
leaf. 1t can be obtained in exceedingly
pretty designs. even when paper covered.
When the rivet that holds the sticks to-
gether at the bottom is removed, the fan
twirled around in cornucopia shape and a
little pointed bag of silk fastened inside
to prevent scraps from sitting through
the sticks, the Japanese fan makes a
pretty ornament to hang at the side of
desk or dressing table.
Slipper holders are made by joining Il
large fan and two small ones. the small
fans serving as pockets for my lady's
dainty shOon. The rivets of the small fan
are taken out and the side stick of one is
removed where it is Joined to the other
at the center and both side sticks are
removed where the smaller fans are
joined to the larger at the sides. The
joining Is done with strong thread. The
small fans must be left partially closed.
SO IS to make roomy pockets for the
slippers To the large fans are attached
ribbons by which to hang it on the wall
