DEPENDS ON FEEDING.
How to Turn n PromIxinE Calf Into
Profitable Cow


When calves are intended to be
grown for cows it is Il great mistake to
feed them so heavily as TO increase the
tendency to fatten. Often this can be
seen at birth in the thick, bulI-like
neck and heavy head. In such case il
is best TO fatten and sell TO the butcher
no matter what stock may be its auces-
try. But frequently also the calf which
seems TO be all right for good milkeI
is fed so heavily and on such fatteninc
food that its tendency for life to pro
duce fat and beef rather than milk and
outter is fully established. To grow u
good COW the calf should not be stunted,
says American Cultivator. That will
impair digestion, which is just as i'm
portant for the COW as il is for beef
animal. Calves intended to be kept for
cows should have much succulent food.
with enough of the kind of nutrition re-
quired TO make large growth. Then il
will be well developed and come early
into heat. 1t is always advisable to
breed as early as possible. Then when
the tendency TO milk production has
been fully established, good feeding
with the best food will turn the produc,
of the feed into the milk pail, where il
will be most for the farmers profit tc
have it.

Difiicult Governing.

The difficulties of carrying on parlia
mentary government are not small, but
what must it be to try to govern on
constitutional lines through such a
body as the parliament of Austria!
There are only 425 deputies collected
from the i0.0o0.000 of Germans, Slavs,
Maygas and RoumaIians, and Austrians
proper. of which the empire is com
posed. and among these +a5 there are at
least p parties. The Slavs, of whom
there are III. come first. almost BAL
anced by the Germans. who number 163.
There are 10 Italians. and an Indefinite
sprinkli=g of other races. while the
Slars are divided into Cvechs. of whom
there are 90. Poles. who number 6s. and
Roumanians. who have succeeded. in
spite of great persecution. in returning
IL deputies TO the reichsrath. The Ger.
mans, naturally, are subdivided into
clericals. anti-clericals, Semites and
liberals, while, to make the tangle still
more intricate, there are to be added
II socialists. who stand by themselves
and carry on their own private ma

In that way they will get the exercise

such work is demonstrated in the Kiugs

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

=
1t has been estimated that an oak OF
average size, during the five months it
is in leaf every year, sucks from the
earth about 1913 tons Of water.
The iridescence OF the soap bubble
arises from the fact that the bubble,
being very thin, reflects light from both
the outer and inner surfaces of the film.
Crabs frequently fasten seaweeds on
their backs to hide themselves and the
