THE WEAVING PROBLEM.
In order 10 Make Good Calf the
Youngster should lie Weaned
Almost Instanter.

A lady in Mississippi has fine calf
from heifer only IL months old; a
grade between the Jersey and the
Friesian breeds. She does not need the
milk and queries whether il be best to
turn heifer and calf into pasture or to
let the calf draw the milk twice day.
Either way would spoil both dam and
calf.
In order TO make a good COW of the
heifer and well-behaved youngster of
the calf, the best time to wean a calf is
instantcr. No matter what the object.
A calf, il healthy, can be taught TO
drink from the bucket in three days.
We are not unmindful Of the fact that
the natural way for the calf to look for
nourishment is TO look up, but we also
know that to drink any drinkable sub
stance, either water or milk, the calf
must hold its head down; hence, sooner
or later, IL must look down in order TO
drink.
We are also mindful OF the fact that
the first milk is n physic, but that fact
has never given us any trouble; the
first milk drawn from the dam does
not lose all Of that property. Another
season for the "instanter" is that
hcifer is easier TO handle and TO gentle
or break TO milking. The process is
agreeable TO the animal TO have relief
from distended udder. When the
calf is placed in n pen or stall near the
dam and she sees il doing well. she will
NEW a little, but will soon quiet down
and be content, especially when she
notices the contentment Of her young
and Il chewing the cud.
There is always more or less danger
OF young COW learning 10 suck her
self, vice when once learned she will
never forget There Is no end of trouble
with such an animal. There is beauti-
full young Jersey cow that practices
IL. All manner OF contrivances have
been applied with very indifferent re-
suits. or course. in very valuable
animal IL may be endured, but can never
be entirely cured.--C. w. Murtfeldt, in

REPUBLICANS OF IOWA.
They Make NO Concession to the Cow
ardly Anti-Expansion
Policy.

The Iowa republicans have taken the
first steps towards carrying their state
this fall by majority exceeding the
one of $4,000 which they rolled up last
year. They have renominatedG ov. Shaw,
who has made an excellent executive,
and they have adopted platform which
speaks out boldly on the right side on
all the great questions of the day.
The declaration made in 1895 in favor
of the gold standard, which contributed
SO much TO the winning of the victory of
last fall, is readopted. IL reads: THE
monetary standard of this country and
the commercial world is gold. The
permanence OF this standard must be
assured by congressional legislation,
giving to IL the validity and vitality of
public law. All other money must be
kept at parity with gold" Wednes-
days convention supplemented this
with an urgent appeal 70 the Iowa SEN
ntors and representatives TO lend their
best endeavors 10 enact these PROPOSE
tions into law. This appeal will not go
unheeded by the Iowa representative
who is to occupy the influential position
of speaker, or by any of his colleagues
In the house and senate. The recogni-
ton in the platform Of "the loyalty and
exalted patriotism of the sound money
democrats who put aside partisanship
TO maintain the good faith of the ma.
ton" is n proper acknowledgment OF
valuable services, which should have
been made sooner.
There is no concession 10 the coward.
ly policy of anti-expansion in the plank
relating to the Philippines. The Iowa
republicans assert that nothing OF
support, Of sympathy, of moral and ma
terial aid and comfort will we ever
withhold" from the American soldiers
in the Philippines, and that there
shall be no division among us until all
in arms against the flag shall confess its
superior right and power" There is
an Iowa regiment serving in Luzon now.
The men who belong to IL will indorse
this plank, and will be back home in
time 10 vote against the democratic
candidates running on a pro-Filipino
platform.
The subject OF trusts is not ignored.
The platform declares that when they
prove hurtful TO the people then they
must be restrained by adequate law,
and il need be abolished" How this
shall be done the convention did not
presume TO sny. That is a matter for
congress and the state legislature 20
determine.
The Iowa democrats may fuse again
with the populists. twill make no diff
ference IL they do. With or without
fusion they will be defeated by an over
whelming majority. For their plat
form will run counter on every point TO
the intelligent, patriotic sentiments of
the mass OF the voters of the state
