A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
Water for Calves.

water the herd of 13 calves at the Kan
| sas agricultural college would drink,
the water given them for a week was
weighed and put in a barrel with an
attachment for letting it out as fast as
needed. In the seven days the 13 calves
| drank S6S pounds of water, or an aver
age of eight pounds day. In addition,
the calves got an average of II pounds
OF skinned milk. besides grain and hay.
The calves drank several times a day,
not much at time, but often. This
experiment shows that calves need
water in addition to their milk ration;
it also shows that they like it often
| and not much at time. Always see
that it is fresh and clean.

in the police court. County Attorney
Jetmore at once issued subpoenaes for
the whole batch for the purpose of Sc

complaints. Several witnesses appeared
at the inquisition and each refused
to testify. The supreme court has held
that witness cannot be compelled to
testify at an inquisition of that char
acter.

fused to give either names or places.
