1t is important that the great Ameri-

that the diplomatic dog is beyond his
province, and protected from his depre-
dalton by international convention and
courtesy, if not by strict letter of law
or treaty stipulation, says the New
York Tribune. The disappearance the

that this cardinal principle governing
the immunities of the ambassadorial

FEEDING THE CALVES
why 1t In better to Teach Them tc
Drink Cold MIX.

Why 1t In better to Teach Them to
Drink Cold MIX.
Patience is one of the virtues in teach
ing little calves to drink. but this is not
all. Calves should be allowed to run
with their mothers for two or three
days. This teaches them to eat and gives
them an appetite that will help the
feeder along in his work. About Il
hours after taking them away from
their mothers offer them little milk.
If they are not inclined to drink very
much let them go 12 hours longer. BY
this time they will have an appetite.
Never get the calf's neck between your
limbs and force its head into the pail
telling it to drink or drown, but stand
in front of the calf with pail in hand.
and when it lowers its head raise the
pail up so as to dip its nose in the milk.
This will give the calf taste OF the
milk. and in a very short time the milk
will disappear and with it the calf
appetite.
Always teach the calves to drink new
milk. This can be gradually diluted
with SKINNED milk, and before the
calves are a week old clear skinned
milk may take the place of the new.
The same principle holds true in chang
ing from warm milk to cold. Begin
ry warming about seyen-eighths OF the
allotted quantity and continue warm
ing one-eighth less each day until only
an eighth is warmed. The change is so
gradual that the calves do not notice
the difference. When the milk Is too
hot one day and too cold the next, and
seldom just right, which is 90 degrees
under such circumstances, calves viii
do much better if taught to drink cold
milk at once.-Agricultural Epitomist.

Some cows have a depraved appetite
which leads them to eat greedily the
soiled straw that has been thrown out
from the horse stable, and to prefer il
to good hay. and also to prefer to drink
from a stagnant puddle in the barn
yard, instead of from the trough OF
water. Our first inquiry in sucn a case
would be to ask If the cows receive salt
regularly and freely. II they do not,
it may arise simply from desire for
salt. but if they do have salt, and still
keep up the habit, physic them two OF
three times at intervals of about three
days, and in the meantime see that they
have no opportunity to indulge in their
filthy habit, and give plenty of good
food.-American Cultivator.

Rain does plants comparatively little
good until it enters the soil. where it
can be absorbed by their roots. A daily
record of the amount of water in the
soil would indicate whether the indi-
cations were favorable or otherwise for
certain crops. There is plan for bury
ing specially constructed electrodes in
the soil. in order that by measuring the
ri sistance to the passage of current
TIN ough the soil the amount of mois-
ture can be ascertained. This method
was suggested by the necessity OF
grounding thoroughly telephone and
telegraph lines. If the terminals are
not continually in a moist soil the lines
do not work during the dry seasons.

Since congress reessembied liquors

The writer has witnessed the gradual
growth of sentiment and its marked
effect upon public men for number OF
years. And out of that experience the
people may be told that the work is

who have been in public life and who
now desire to serve the people in hon.

Year after year there is less drinking
among statesmen; less drinking in

Therefore those whose hearts are set
upon this reform should take courage,
believing and knowing that progress is
being made. SMITH D. FRY.

Profst of sheer nu.handry.

The profit of keeping sheep is not to
be estimated entirely by comparing the
price of the fleece and meat they pro-
duce with the cost of keeping them.
The improved condition of the farm
must also be taken into consideration.
The advantage OF sheep keeping may
not be shown in one year, or in four or
five years. The profit in the business
must be determined by comparing the
conditions of the farms on which sheep
have been kept for many years with
that of other places where they have
not been kept.-Dakota Fled and
