APPORTl0NMENT OF TROOPS.
Adiutant- General Corbin Working on the De-
tails of the Second Call.

Washington, June 1.--Adjutant-General
Corbin rs engaged in making up the APP
portionment of troops which each state is
to be asked to furnish under President
McKinley's second call for $1,000 men. Be-
cause of an excess over their quota the last
call some of the states will not be asked
for additional men at this time. So far as
is possible the existing regiments will be
recruited to their maximum strength.
Some of the state governors In their COM
muncations with the war department have
manifested decided opposition to fill ng
up the existing regiments, preferring to re-
cruit entirely organizations, and In
some of these cases it is likely the depart
ment may yield, although no one will make
any official statement to that effect There
is a disposition on the part of the war de-
partment to avoid any unseeming wranele
over the matter but instead to yield point
for the sake of appearances. Ample au-
thority, it is said, exists under the voun-
teer act for the war department to proc6 ed
on its own responsibility with the work of
recruiting without any call on the govern
ors to assist in that work.

EDUCATE THE CALF.
How to- Feed the Young Animal So
That 1t VIII Develop Into
Good Dairy Cow.

In his address at the Indiana State
Dairy association, says Farm News,
Mr.. Goodrich stated that educating an
animal to become a good dairy cow
must begin with the young calf. Mus
cle-forming food should be fed, such as
bran, oil meal, skim milk, etc. Educate
the calf to eat muscle-forming food
as much as possible. Begin to feed the
calf with skim milk and spoonful or
two of oil meal, then give a few whole
oats to follow. Nice clover hay should
be available. Feed skim milk six
months or so. He wants an animal to
come in milk at two years. Give the
heifer good box stall and plenty of
straw to calve in. After calving give
her warm water-not cold. Take calf
away gradually, say in two or three
days. After calving feed for awhile
only a little grain, and then depend
mostly on bran. After two weeks YOU
can begin to feed to full capacity.
Feed variety. 1t is desirable to have
balanced ration as nearly as can he.
Quotations were given from the Wis
consin bulletin of 100 feeding rations,
showing how some so-called success
full FEEDERS combined dairy cattle foods.
Mr.. Goodrich has found production of
two pounds of coarse food to one of con-
centrated as most satisfactory. Succu-
lent foods are important. OF VOLTS 100
feeders, IS fed ensilage and two roots.
If we cannot have green grass, we
should feed either ensilage or roots. It
has paid Mr.. Goodrich to feed a little
bran or corn meal in summer. His cows
produced so pounds more of butter per
animal the summer when fed grain
than they did the summer before when
no grain was fed. His grain cost five
dollars, and $13 was derived from the
butter, showing good balance in favor
of the grain. Do not feed every cow
alike. Mr.. Goodrich's standard feed is
80 pounds silage, five pounds clover
hay, five pounds corn slower, eight
pounds wheat bran and two pounds
cotton seed meal. Tighten up on the
feed of some COWS and increase on 9TH
ers. If she gives more milk by more
feeding, increase.

ed to give the tread suitable pitch.
Under one edge place friction roller
(c); section of log may be used, con-
nected to tumbling rod (d). This rod
may be geared to the machinery at
will. Lead horse, COW, goat, sheep or
other animal oLto the platform and
as it walks leisurely on the platform
just over the friction roller, power is
developed. In one described to me as
running two-man and four-girl wood
working shop in Massachusetts, 70 years
ago, the edge of the platform only
projected into the shop. On this edge,
inside the shop, stall was built. A lit

ORCHARD AND GAR:NEN.

Vigorous, thrifty, but low, -, at trees
transplanting.
Examine newly-set trees and see that
the lands left on them are not so tight
as to injure the trees.
In the fall is a good time to set out
rhubarb and asparagus plants. Every
garden should have good bed.
If there is too much top, the tree
overbears, the tree is small and de.
fective and the crop difficult to gather.
Pears to do their best must be fed and
the soil we'll drained, strong and reten-
tive. Locality should determine the va.
riety.
Peach stocks, which continue to grow
freely may be budded as long as tina
bark peels freely for the insertion of the
buds.
A good mulch keeps down weeds and
renders the soil loose and moist at all
times, and lessons the labor of cultiva,
ton.
While old trees are often made more
fruitful by severe pruning, young,
thrifty trees are often injured by the
same treatment.
Prune out all the useless shoots in
young fruit trees the growth of which
is about completed. No injurious check
will be given the trees.
All wood that is more than two years
old should be cut out from the currants
and gooseberries. They will produce
more fruit if the vines are not SO large.

market sort carefully and put it up in
neat, attractive packages and in such
shape that it will arrive in good con-

BUILDING UP A HERD.
How II Was Done. and Most Success.
fully, Too, by a Dairyman
in Ireland,

An instructive illustration of the
manner in which the milk and butter
yielding capacities of dairy cows may
be developed by careful selection is
afforded by some details recently given
publicity to in connection with prom
inent herd on the other side of the
channel. About a dozen years ago the
milk of all the cows comprised in this
herd-over 60 in mber-was careful
ly analysed. Nine of the cows were
found to be yielding milk showing over
5 per cent. of butter fat, % were
yielding over Az per cent, IA were
yielding over per cent. and % were
yielding under 4 per cent. From this
date onward calves were only kept
off the cows which yielded milk show
ing over AZ per cent. of butter fat,
and the tribes of the others were grad
ually weeded out. BY the aid of a
regularly kept milk record the prod
uct of every cow is known, and none
is kept for any length of time which
does not yield over 600 gallons per an
mum. By combining what is learned
from the analysis and the milking rec
ord and only keeping calves from cows
whose produce is up to the standard,
alike in quantity and quality, the
milking properties of the cows have
been SO improved that at present over
60 per cert. of it's members are yield
ing milk showing over per cent. and
rs per cent. are yielding milk showing
over AZ per cent. of butter fat. This
result has only been attained by the
exercise Of great care and scrupulous
attention in the selection of bulls, and
no sire is used without every inquiry
being made as to the milking records
of his female ncestry.--Dublin Ore

FASHIONS FOR BABY.
Daintiness Is the Chief Feature to BE
Considered In the Making of
His Clothes.

Fashions in babies clothes seem
rather amusing, but there are changes
each new season in the manner and
details of the making. AS far as the
outlay of money goes, there is hardly
limit to the amount it is possible to
spend, but daintiness is the chief fea-
ture to be consideration the par
ents' circumstances and common sense
should surely limit the expenditure.
From six to ten long dresses COM
pose the usual outfit, some of them
simply made, some deliberately
trimmed. 1t is now the fashion to
change the little ones from long to
short clothes at as early an age as
four months. French nainsook is the
favorite material for the finer dresses.
just now the inevitable yoke in the
babys gown is cut square, not quite
extending over to the arm size, and
edged with a frill and beading. For
the filing in of the yoke there are
two pretty ways, both equally popu-
lar. One is rows of hemstitched tucks,
running from the neck downward, the
other alternate rows of lace and en-
broidery insertions, the embroideries
being often almost as fine and as trans
parent as the lace.
A pretty bib has scalloped upper
edge of shaped silk, trimmed on both
upper and lower edges by full deep
ruffle of silk lace. The upper .rart is
hand embroidered, and between the
outer and inner bib is placed tufted
silk heart-shaped pad of silk. Another
is made from a fine linen hemstitched
handkerchief, folded diagonally-the
upper point is cut out V shape and
embro!dered-and both edges lace
trimmed.
Night gowns are made from fine fan
mel or outing and have a drawing
string around the neck. Petticoats
are of fine flannel and button on each
shoulder by two tiny buttons instead
of down the back.
Little caps of lawn show much shir~
ring and cording, and some, especially
those of embroidered muslin. have a
lining of pale shade of thin silk.
The most fashionable thing in ba.
bies' shoes and stockings, for wear
with the first short dresses, are gray
suede shoes and stockings matching
exactly in color.
Pretty coats of bedford cord have
deep circular ruffies trimmed with
guipure lace edging. In shorter coats,
pretty model in pique has a very deep
rounding collar trimmed entirely with
rows of Hamburg edging alternated
by rows of satin ribbon.
A design in bedford cord short
coat has three deep circular capes,
each one edged with guipure lace.
For the basket covering, sheer white
lawn over pink or blue is the latest,
the point d'esprit being also used. The
ruf1e is trimmed with lace and rows
of baby ribbon and the Jennings and
seams are finished by a narrow lace
beading through which is run ribbon.

The next dietetic fad is going to be
banana -four. Manufacturers are eX-
perimenting in this direction, and
promise soon a meal that will keep as
long as wheat flower and make a much
more nutritious bread. As already
the craze for whole wheat flour is pass
iug, this new albumen will undoubted-
ly meet a quick welcome when it
comes. The use of the banana has de-
Nelopcd its great value as an article of
