DEVELOPING DAIRY COWS.

How shall we train and mature the
dairy calf, is q question of much i'm
portance, and, IN my opinion, one
which will to q great extent determine
the usefulness of the dairy herd, writes
w. J. Gillett in Breeders Gazette. The
trottiDg bred colt is gradually educated
up TO its work, and it has been well
established that better results can be
reached by beginning that education
at a very early age. The youngster
takes to its lessons from a natural in
stincG which is born and bred charac.
teristic. The development Of dairy
calf presents a similar lesson. and she
must be trained, not to conflict with
natures laws, but to that end for
which she was born and bred. She is
z q colt, In that by unfavorable
training she may never reach her best,
yet that function, endowed by nature,
must crop out in some form, showing
her willingness and ability to respond,
perhaps proportionately to her educa
ton, to her nature. How this educa
ton should be conducted is a question
upon which we are not infalIible, and
l can only give a method which has
brought to me very satisfactory and
natterlng results. Ny practice il to
allow the calf to remain with the dam
only ABOUT six weeks. This for the
reason that the early removal excites
less anxiety Of the mother, and l think
tne calf takes more readily to drinking
mix the pail. I have roomy box
stalls for my calves and unless crowded
Tor room each one has g separate stall.
here the education begins. I feed lib
orally OF whole milk for the first six
weeks, after which the youngster is
gradually Weaned onto sweet SKINNED
mlIK, warm as it leaves the separator.
AT this time i think it necessary to
aad some substitute for the butter fat
found IN the skinned milk, and for
This purpose / use old process oil meal,
ScaLded to a jelly, and mixed with
milk. There Is soon developed an ap
petite for grain, and while they will
Consume at first a very small quantity,
must be remembered that the small
amount does the calf just as much
good as a proportionately large amount
Toes a matured animal. I aim to feed
all they will eat of ground oats and
wheat bran, mixed equal parts by
MEASURE. They also have access to

amount Of corn silege as soon rs they

I learn as the years roll onward
And leave the past behind,
That much / have counted sorrow
But proves that our God is kind;
That many q flower / longed for
Had q hidden thorn Of pain;
And many a rugged by-pRth
Led to fields of ripened grain.
The clouds but cover the sunshine,
They cannot Danish the sun;
And the earth shines out the brighter
When the dreary rain is done;
We must stand in the deepest shadow
To see the clearest light,
And often from wrongs own darkness
Comes the very strength of right.
The sweetest ia at even,
After q Wearisome day,
When the heavy burden OF labor
Has borne from u hearts away.
And those who have never known sor
row
Cannot find the infinite peace
That falls on the troubled spirit
When it sees, at last, release.
We must live through the dreery
winter
II we would value the spring;
And the woods must be cold and al
lent
Before the robins sing.
The flowers must be buried in darkness
Before they can bud or bloom;
And the sweetest and wRrmest. sun

Comes after the storm and gloom.
So the heart from the hardest trial
Gains the purest Joy Of all.
And from the lips that have tasted sad.

And love is reward for pain,

DID NOT KNOW IT WAS THERE

A we'll to do deacon In Connecticut

torr-who said, Poor Widow Green's
wood is out. Can you take her a
cords"
"Well," answered the deacon, II
have the team; but who is to pay for
.itG"
81 will" replied the pastor, ION con
dition that you read the first three
verses of the forty first Psalm before
; on go to bed to night"
The deacon consented, delivered the
wood, and at night opened the Word OF
God and read the passage: BLESSED is
he that considereth the poor; the Lord
will deliver him in time OF trouble
The Lord will preserve him, and keep
him alive, and he shall be blest upon
the earth, and thou wilt not deliver
him unto the will OF his enemies. The
Lord will strengthen him upon the bed
of lapguishing; thou wilt make all his
bed in his sickness"
A few days after ward the pastor
met him again.
"How much do I owe you, deacon,
for that cord of woods"

GERMANY AND MANILA.

The Kaiser's Government Has No De-

Washington. June ia clear, posi-
tive and unequivocal denial is made
at the state department of the accuracy
of the London Star publication reciting
that the United States government had
been notified, either directly or indi-
rectly, of any purpose on the part of
Germany to interfere with the opera
tions of the United States naval and
military forces in the Philippines.
The stories are said to be repetition
Of those printed some time ago in
British papers to the effect that the
German consul at Manila had threaten
ed Admiral Dewey with the German
Asiatic fleet in case he refused to admit
provisions into Manila.
The London publication is correct to
the extent of saying that Secretary Day
has received certain definite notifica-
tions. These, however, are directly the
reverse of the alleged notification speci-
fed in London. In brief, the German
authorities have made it clear that
none of the reports attributing to Ger
many a purpose to make an issue in
the Philippines were warranted. 1t has
been pointed out that Germany, like all
other nations, protects her citizens and
interests abroad. If these interests at
Manila or elsewhere are jeopardized by
a critical condition of affairs then it is
quite likely German ships will afford
German subjects and property such
adequate protection as is consistent
with state of war. But this natural
and necessary protection of German
citizens and German property, it is
pointed out officially, is quite different
from a purpose of territorial acquisi-
tion or of forcibIe Intervention between
the belligerents. The reports of such a
move are pure fabrication.
