The best method of raising calves Oh
skim milk is a matter of interest to
every farmer. In some tests made at
the Iowa station it was found that the
best and most economical gains were
made on cornmeal and skim milk. Lin
seed meal also gave lower and more ex..
pensive gains and was in every way less
satisfactory than either oatmeal OF
cornmeal and fax seed. 1t may be that
theresults of these experiments are con-
trary to prevailing opinion concerning
the relative value of these feeds, but it
is not unnatural or in any way unrea-
sonable that the carbonaceous grains
should be more suitable for feeding
with slkim-milk than a highly nitrogen
GUS product like linseed meal. Skim.
milk is heterogeneous itself. Some expert
ments were made in Holland to test the
effect of increasing the fat in skim-milk
for calves. or adding starch, Enough
whole milk was added to skim-milk to
make the desired amount of fat. Wien
starch was fed it was cooked to paste
in the skim-milk. About "a per cent OF
the starch was digested, the coeficient
of digestibility being as high as in thu
case of the adult animal. The addition
of starch to the ration diminished thu
digestibility of protein somewhat. I
was, however, on the whole considered
satisfactory. When it is possible t.
supply skim-milk containing protein
and the supplemental carbonaceou
material in an inexpensive form, tn
profitable feeding of calves is assured
In the experiments cited above Carlo
hydrates, either in form of starch o
cereal grains. were successfully com
bined with skim-milk and in this wa
the animal was supplied with an abund
ance of protein and energy and mad

In presenting interesting phases OF

to the publication of the principal
events of the day; and when the fame OF
a product is extended beyond its natural
limits into foreign lands, and large de-
mand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and AT

the fact and to tell of the points OF ex-
cellence on which SO great success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs.

Company. The merits of this we'll

made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers OF

tinct achievements of the press. 1t is
now well known that Syrup OF Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, APP
l proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and ef-
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and ac'
ceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but also
wholly free from any unpleasant after
effects. 1t is frequently referred to al

should be from six to eight feet long.
In one of the posts staple the end OF

the stall. This chain should have q
hook at the other end. airing is bolted
into the other post to correspond to the
stapled end of the chain. After the
animal has been driven into the stall,
hook the end of the chain into the ring
and it is as secure as though stan

is that it is easier to operate. One does
not have to drive the animal in and

THE CONVENTION.
A Glorious Commonwealth Calls for the
 Work of Its wisest Sons.
company,

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Your correspondent, Representative Da- vdson, yesterday quotes the Bill of Rights of Alabama to absolve all voters from ob- servance of Article XVI. of the text of the organic law, evolved from so palpable an authority as the Bill of Rights.
 Is there to be a referendum? Certainly. The convention of August next will not be bound by any heretofore written law of de- tail to refer the new constitution to the polls for ratification, but the referendum will be applied, all the same. The new con stitution of Mississippi or South Carolina was not referred; the Alabama consttu- tions of 1873. 1861, 1865, were not referred to the voters. These examples go for nothing under the circumstances in Alabama at present. Under this inevitable pronounce ment upon the work of the forthcoming convention it becomes the press of the state to brush aside the cobwebs that infest the supreme conditions of constitutional life, and restore the study of them to the con- temptation of the people in due preparation for their final action.
 We are called upon to vote at one and the same time for or against, convention and for delgates. It is foregone conclusion that improper candidates foisted on the bal lot box will defeat the project of "conven- tion.' The sound sense of the people will fortify them to endure the ills they have rather than trust the remedy to empirics and upstarts in a sovereign convention.
 If we want such a convention as we ought to have, let connect with the call the names of candidates who understand the work before them. Men of that qualifica- tion, men of the understanding" property of mind and heart, fit men to trust with the duty of compromising the power of the majority and the right of the mino4ty so as to eSect upon a firm foundation the social fabric of this glorious common wealth so praised of men and blessed of God-men of that kind live in our midst but they don't float upon the surface They are here and they can be found by all anx- ious seekers of great fundamental princi- pies of free government They will give their lives to the work of the closet as freely and as brayely as General Wheeler offered his at Santiago if invited or allowed
 MT. Davidson invokes the. power of 'the people to call into their service any foffi- cers) they may choose to do this special work'-that is, frame new constitution Possibly the new constitution of 1899 may justify and allow that thing, but wc yet live under the constitution of 1885 which the courts have construed to forbid that very thing.

RIDDLE RETURNS.
After One Year Spent in Search for
 Gold.a

On January 10, 1898, Joe Riddle and his four companions, consisting of his brother Jim, John Neale, Will Stapleton and Charles l.. Smith, left Birmingham for the gold regions of the Klondike. Yesterday morning after an absence from Brmng- ham of just year and four days, he re- turned to this city Stapleton and Smith gave up their search for gold last summer months ago.
 MT. Riddle arrived in this city early yes terday morning over the A. G. s. railroad, having made the trip home from Seattle by way of the Texas Pacific through Shreveport. He went at once to his home at Lacrosse station on the East Lake car line and spent most of the morning in the midst of his family. Later on in the day he came into the city and spent several hours talking to his numerous friends and telling of his adventures in the far northwest
 The full account of his adventurous trip from Dawson City to the ports in Southern Alaska, through the terrible Alaskan win ter, were fully described in the Age-Her- aid special dispatches from Seattle last Sunday morning. That he has had a rough trip is evident from Mir. Biddle's appear ance, but he is, nevertheless. looking strong and hale.
