are better now than they have been at

Raising Calves for Veal.

While we believe under present con-
ditions in keeping for cows all the
heifer calves that promise to be good
mixers, there are many even among
the heifers that show by thick necks
and other signs that they are better for
meat than for milk. Nine-tenths of the
male calves should also be fattened and
killed. 1t takes so much milk to prop
erly raise or fatten a calf that many
will not do it. Yet if fed with part skim
milk and partly with porridge made
of oatmeal sifted, the calf can be fat
tened until it is two, three or four
months old with profit for all the feed
given. Most calves are killed too young.
Their veal is not good by law until it is
four weeks old. It is better still when
it is eight or ten weeks old, if it has been
fed so as to keep growing.-Ameriean
Cultivator.

SHORT ROAD SERMON.
Would Make Great improvements
Possible Everywhere.

1t is constantly being remarked in
conversation and printed in interviews
and editorials in the papers that bet
ter roads are very necessary, but that
they are too eXpensive-the commu-
nifty is too poor to do anything, and
there the matter ends.
This need not be so. There is hardly
town or county in this country in
which the money now annually expend-
ed is not sufficient to procure much bet
ter road surfaces than now exist, while
very slight increase in expenditure
would make great improvements pos
sible.
First. Road taxes must be paid in
money and not in labor. Good results
have never been obtained by working
ture of things that they should be.
Whatever is to be spent on the road
must be available for use in the EN-.
ployment of experienced help under
intelligent supervision.
Second. Proper grading must be Sc
cured, hills reduced and filings made
until no steep hill exists that the farm.
er must load for" every time he hauls
over the road.
Third. The bed must be thoroughly
drained, or good surface will be i'm.
possible, and the surface must enable
the water to flow off readily. Nothing
ruins road so quickly as water stand.
ing on ii or soaking into it.
Fourth. The roadbed must be
crowned enough to shed water, and
must be kept in condition by system
of regular repairs and continuous over.
sight.
Fifth. After good surface is Sc.
cured by the above methods, it must
be preserved and maintained by per-
hitting only the use of wide tires on
heavily-laden vehicles, thereby con-
tinually rolling and improving it,

FOR A WAR OF CONQUEST.
American Churches Urge tho President to
Proceed Against All Spanish Posses
sions In the Pacific.

WAsH1NaToN, June 14.-The Amer.
lean churches are urging the president
to proceed against all of the Spanish
possessions in the Pacific, including
the Ladrones, the Carolines and the
Pelew islands. The church senti-
ment is particularly anxious that
the Carolines shall be brought un-
der the American flag. A cabinet
officer is authority for the state
ment that the missionary organize
tions have represented to the people
that some years ago they spent over
81, 600, 600 in the Caroline islands. The
Spanish then drove them out and re-
fused to allow them to continue their
missionary work. They urge that
now the islands should be taken by
the United States, so that their work
there can be resumed and religious
freedom established.
