FINANCIAL SUCCESS.
tematic Work to Achieve Ii Mt
the Present Time.

1t takes close calculating these days
will have made q long step toward sue
cess when he shall have adopted some
style of bookkeeping, and the more thor
ough the better. And why? Because
our judgment will so often be at fault,
while if we have the facts and figures
we cannot very easily be misled. Take
for instance herd of dairy cows.
There is not in all probability any two
that will test the same. The best COW
in the herd to our notion may be kept
at loss. Yet we will continue to think
she is the best unless we apply the test.
Up to date farming demands that we
keep strict account not only with the
herd as whole, but with each individ
ual cow. So that there may be a
constant weeding-out process of all in
ferior mixers and just as constant
grading up with superior cows.
The same will hold good in the swine
herd. There are some sows that are
much better than others. This is to be
determined by their docility, their pro-
likeness and their ability to transmit
good feeding qualities to their off
spring. In sheep the same rule holds
good as well. l believe the best author
in Importance and wool secondary. To
cross the common ewes with some good
mutton breed is considered on good
authority to be the way to obtain the
desired end. Poultry, too must be
bred up, fed up and figured up, if we
wish to pay the mortgage off this year.
By all means get some thoroughbred
horses are not in it any more, but that
is certainly a mistake. If you have
a good mare and breed to thorough
bred, you will surely get mortgage
litter. In all crops, it must be borne in
mind that we must do better this year
than ever before. Excel must be our
watchword, and there is no excellence
without great labor. To all this we
must add a careful outstanding of all
resources. That is, we must save all
we make by taking care to spend wise
ly, allowing nothing to go to waste or
to be foolishly thrown away. And in
all this we only reiterate the starting
asseveration of careful calculation. Mix
ed or diversity farming is the best in
my opinion, and gives better chance
to win at all times because ones "eggs
are not all in one basket" If one
branch fails another will win, and thus
tide over. But in mixed farming one
must treat each and every branch as
specialty.-A. N. Springer, in Farm and
Home

CARING FOR CALVES.
They Need a Constant Supply of
Clean, Fresh Water More Than
Heating RatiOns.

Never put corn, Kaffir corn meal or
any other grain in the milk for calves.
The starch of corn has to be changed to
grape sugar before it is digestible.
This change only takes place in the
presence of an alkali and is done chiefly
by the saliva of the mouth. The corn
is gulped down with the milk, the
starch is acted upon by the acids of the
stomach, but remains unchanged until
it comes in contact with the alkaline Sc
cretions of the intestines. With hogs
the stomach is small and the intestines
long. This allows starchy matter to
be digested in the intestines. The op-
posite is true with the calf, the stom-
ach being large and the intestines
short. Unless the starchy matter is
largely digested by the saliva of the
mouth, complete digestion will not
take place in the intestines, and the calf
scours. Flax seed meal made into a
jelly or cruel is good to mix with skim
milk to take the place of butter fat. Oil
meal is frequently used for this purpose
but, like the skim milk, it has large
amount of fat removed and is not as
good as meal with the fat in. Calves
like fresh water. Any arrangement
that will keep clean, fresh water be-
fore them all the time, is the best way
to supply it. Our calves drink from
seven to eight pounds daily per head

the last thing at night and remove any
droppings that may have fallen upon
the platform. This will insure a dry
bed during the night. The arrange
ment of the chain fastening in the way
suggested is the nearest approach pos
sible to the stiff stanchion in controlling
the movement of the cattle, while doing
away with the most serious faults of
the stanchion, while it is but an in
stant's work to hook it about an ami
mails neck and to unlock it. Another.
plan would be to leave neck chain al
ways about the animals neck, with a
snap at the under part to attach to the
crosswise chain when the animal is
brought into the stall. The neck chain
then serves good purpose when lead
ing the stock out to water or when NOV
ing the animals about for other pur-
poses.-N. Y. Tribune.

EXCELLENT cow STALL.
Trial of 1t Has Demonstrated That 1t

enough. L believe she came from some
little town in New York state, and l
know she never had anything much in
her life. But now the struggle is over

And nothing poisons it like bad

Bat surely the good ones outnumber

rather narrow to let one woman preJu-
dice you against the whole sex? OF
course, don't know your story"
Its not pleasant" said the other
man, knocking the ashes from his cigar
with nervous fingers. 1T all happened
the year l left college. l met girl in
Denver. She was beautiful and clever,
and you're right about my being senti-
mental. Teller, l fancied because her
eyes were pure and bright as the stars
in heaven that she must be an angel.
She was poor, too. Her father was a
drunken, goodfor-nothing fellow, and
she was very unhappy, and pitied her.
All, l was very far gone, indeed. We
were going to be married when L had
made money enough, and meantime L
was happy as-well, as happy as fool.
And one day as we We're walking dowL
the street together we met man, a low
fellow, with dyed mustache. l knew
him. He was a shoestring gambler W hu
came down sometimes from the mining
camps, and as vile cur as ever breathed.
To my amazement, he stopped and
spoke to me. What are you doing with
my wife?' he asked, angrily. 1 sup
posed he'd been drinking, and was
about to brush him aside, when l hap
pened to look at her, and what saw told
me all: She was covering before that
beast, with every vestige of color gone
from her face and her eyes fastened
on his with such a look that in flash
L knew that her fear of him was no new
thing with her.
''Great goodness, Lucy cried, tell
me this isn't true But she only gave
little moan, and so l turned away and
left them there. 1 never saw her
again"
There was moments pause. The
orchestra, from it's perch on the landing
of the marble stairway, was playing an
air from la Boheme," repeating the
refrain over and over again with pas
sionate insistence.
Isn't it possible there was some mis-
take?" asked Teller at last, little awk
wardly.
NO." said Frink, in a hard voice.
''Her father came to see me afterward.
She was getting a divorce quietly, he
told me, and they had agreed to keep
me in ignorance of the whole affair. Of
course, the BLACKBOARD threatened to
shoot me if 1 didn't marry his daugh
ter, but when he saw l was not afraid
of him he let me alone. They came cast
after that, believe
perhaps she wasn't as much to
blame as he," observed Teller, thought
fully.
''Perhaps-she was very young. But
such training in deceit doesn't turn out
the women who make good wives, and
