OVERFEEDING CALVES.
rt Stons Their Growth Rv Giving Them
 More Than They Can Carry.

We are particularly anxious that our readers should make a complete sue cess in growing calves by hand this year. As we have said before, says Wallace's Farmer, the hand-raised calf has become an economic necessit@ both for the farmer and the feeder, and in fact for the state The impression has become general that this calf can not be grown on separate milk. We have held steadily to the contrary for two or three years. and have given in our three previous issues enough let ters from farmers who have been solv
 ing the problem to satisfy every read CT that, given the separator milk sweet and properly balanced, with corn mes, at the beginning, and shel1ed corn af- terward, this calf can be grown to per lection. We wish, however, to warn our readers against overfeeding. It will not do to suppose that if calf does well on four quarters of milk that it will do twice as well on eight, TOT will it do to suppose that if the milk is not properly balanced more of tt will make up for the lack of balance We are satisfied that a large number of calves that are spoiled in starting them in life on separator milk. are spoiled by overlooking The separa- i tor milk from one good COW will grow two good calves if it is properly bal anced. The calves do not need much
 over half of the milk and if the other half is fed to the pigs, balanced in the
 same way, there will be plenty of profit
 to the man who goes at it intelligently
 Be careful about overlooking with sep
 arator milk, and be careful that what
 you do feed is properly balanced with
 corn meal or flax seed meal to start
 after the calf is two months old

a black hat covered with two shades

for trimming
The English walking hat still holds
place in fashion, and is often profuscly
trimmed with plumcs and jet

A small bonnet of framework, COW

for elderly women.
Among the pretty hcaddrcsses is the

Whether liquid air can be made OF
commercial value or not is uncertain.
Mr.. Tripler declares that he can pro
duce it for GO or so cents a gallon ana
that it can be used for great many
purposes. Among these are refrigerat-
ing instead of ice and for the produc-
ton of power by using it's expansive
force in an engine like steam engine.
For household refrigerating he would
pour a pint or 50 of the liquid air mo
refrigerator every day and get cool
ness and a supply of fresh air to keep
the ice box sweet by it's evaporation
He has many other schemes, such as
using it instead of powder to shoot
cannon balls.
Science believes that it has found il
liquid air means of learning much
which has heretofore been a mystery
about physics, by using the intense
cold in connection with a study of the
qualities of metals and other sub
stances. just as heat has been used,
and it also believes that Mr.. Tripler' S
method Of producing liquid air may be
applied to the reduction of all the
other gases and bringing them to n
liquid or perhaps a solid form. In this
way it might be possible to prove be
yond a question whether, for example,
hydrogen is or is not metal. Hydro

it made a rafting noise on the floor as

Lite on the Farm.

Life on the farm is thought by some
to lc undesirable, but this on account
of failure to appreciate it's ADVANTAGES.
EARN life is not adapted to large
money gathering. for no man can he
come n millionaire on the farm unless
he has great capital with which Ia
start and reaps the benefits Of great
rise in value Of lana. To live honest
ly, happily ana hcalthily there is no
place like the farm. All the advant-
ages of the farm cannot be recorded
in dollars and cents The farmer lives
ana laborS III pure atmosphere sur
rounded by interesting and attractive
scenes. correspondent of the New
York Farmer thus describes the life
of the farmer:
His labor; are not mouotonous. not
continual round of the same thing
like the man who makes knit, blades
or the man who tends a loom in n
mill but a continual change from the
planting to the gathering Of the grains
and fruits. One operation does NOT
continue long enough to become monot-
onous ere n change is required So
work becomes a pleasure and labor a
series of healthful exercises. He passes
his time in the midst OF the VARYING
scenes of nature; the birds sing their
carols for him as he goes to his labor
in the morning. and in the evening
chant their NeSpcrS for him as he re-
turns. He watches the varying as
poets of the sky and becomes wise to
predict storm and the aged farmer
becomes the Wiscst weather prophet
AS | said YOU cannot measure the
profits of farm life by dollars and
cents.
When he takes his horses and car
riaEe and takes his family out to
make a social visit, he does a benefit
for all Of them and it costs him moth
ing, but if he lived in town and
hired livery rig it would cost him So
perhaps. He can always find time to
entertain his friends or visit them, and
not he any the loser for his crops are
growing and his cows are making milk,
and his sheep are making wool in the
meantime.
'If the mechanic closes his shop door
or the merchant his store to visit his
income ceases.
And then of all places to bring up
family of children. especially of boys,
the farm is the best. Away from the
temptations Of the town, with healthy
exercise during vacation, and at all
times fresh and wholesome sports"

the important task of selecting all fe-
male war nurses for the government

who will nurse the wounded of the

list of eligibles. women applicants

ages of 80 and so, and it is preferred
that they have had practical expert
