Speaker Hanen is endeavoring to as
certain the sentiments of the mem
bers of the House respecting an extra
session of the Legislature to consider
the proposed amendments to the con
stitution, which the Governor refused
to call. John Henshaw, one of the
representatives from the Seventh DEL
egate district, and James B. Small,
who represents Berkeley county, are
both opposed to the proposition and
have so written the speaker. They
reflect the sentiment of their constit-
uents, who seem to be adverse to an
extra session without regard to party.

WATCH YOUR CALVES.

The calls foot is golden now. Calves
which went begging for buyeru few
years ugo are now worth ten dollars
almost as soon as they are dropped.
There is a great shortage Of feeding
steers all over the corn and grass states.
This shortage is temporarily supplied
by the enormous importations from
every point in the country. Ii is, how
ever, only shifting OF cattle from one
point TO another, and there is no addi-
ton made to the cattle stock by such a
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
ia 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
n dead sure market at profitable price
for his calves for year or two 10 come
Hence, the calf should be watched not
for the sake Of watching and thinking
of the pleasing prospect of good price,
but for the purpose of securing as much
thrifty growth and as good form as
possible, for the better the form the

Nature feeds the calf a balanced RI.
ton. If il 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 by
boiling oil meal. After the first three
or four weeks cat meal should be sub
stituted gradually, and corn meal a:
gradually substituted, in part at least,
for the oats. Com at IL cents per bush
el, and oats at the same price, will
furnish the proper balance at a much
lower rate than butter fat. There are q
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 an
expert. There Is a very solid bottom
under this business now. and the farm.
