THE WEAVING PROBLEM.
In Order to Make Good Calf the
YOunEstcr Should BE Weaned
Almost InAtanter.

A lady in Mississippi has fine calf
from heifer only II months old;
grade between the Jersey and the
Friesan breeds. She does not need the
milk and queries whether it 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 good cow of the
the calf, the best time to wean Il calf is
instanter. No matter what the object.
A calf, if 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 it's head down; hence, sooner
or later, it must look down in order to
drink.
We are also mindful of the fact that
the first milk is Il physic, but that fact
has never given us any trouble; the
not lose all of that property. Another
season for the ''instanter" is that
heifer is easier to handle and to gentle
or break to milking. The process is
agreeable to the animal to have relief
from a distended udder. When the
calf is placed in pen or stall near the
dam and she sees it doing well, she will
new little, out will soon quiet down
and be content, especially when she
notices the contentment of her young
and it chewing the cud.
There is always more or less danger
of a young COW learning to 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
it. All manner of contrivances have
been applied with very Indifferent re-
suits. OF course, in a very valuable
animal it may be endured, but can never
be entirely cured.-C. W. Murtfeldt, in

SCIENCE OF GRADING.
Hillsides Is Not as For
midnble Task as Many Sup
pose 1T to BE.

The grading of undulating lands, and
in fact any soil that washes badly, is
not a difficult task. Various preventive
measures have been adopted, such as
horizontal embankmcnt, liberal fertil-
izing, deep blowing, flat culture, bind
ing crops and rotation, which prevent
washing. The graded embankment has
given good satisfaction in the south.
By this method, as illustrated, the EN-
bankment must be large enough and
strong enough to carry Off all water
during the heaviest rains; must be of
uniform grade with equal fall in all
places, about one inch to rod. Where
to locate embanlSments, the grade to
give them, construction as to shape and
strength and distance apart must all
be considered by each man doing the
work.
Before lines can be run an instru-
ment must be secured that is strictly
accurate and perfectly reliable, one

Organizer Garland informs
us that the incoming year sees
organized labor in this city
in better condition than ever
before. The financial condi-
tion is better, the members hip
larger, and in creasing weekly.
There are fifty-six unions,
with membership ranging from
80 to 200, in excellent standing.
These are the older orga MIA
ti1ns. Then there are twenty
OK twenty five smaller and
younger unions which are en-
joying a steady growth.
The Trades Assembly is in
the best tkind of a financial stand
ing, having something like
$1,000 in the treasury. The
Label League too, although
but a little over year old, has
a good balance to it's bank ac-
account. .........~
It certainlyis encouraging to
know that organized labor is
in such fine shape in Duluth
with prospects for a bright

letter stated that he had al

year, and that he was about to
return to his claim and contin-

A. c.. Weiss of the Evening
Herald has the honor of receiv-
ing an appointment from the
first democratic governor Min
11esota ever had. He has been
appointed a member of the
state prison board in place of
NJ. O. Hall; whose term ex-
pired. We have an idea Mr..
Weiss will prove a valuable
member of that board, and
there is no position in the state
where a better opportunity is
given for a person to show the
material he is made of and help
to break up the most corrupt
com bination that ever existed
in this or any other state. For
years the prison ring has been
a stencil in the nostrils of all
decent people in this state, and
while it is not in the power of
one man. to break it up, a great
deal can be done along that
line. Mr.. Weiss appointment
will meet with general approv-
al, and we expect to see him as
sist in carrying out some of the
promises made the people by
Gov. Lind, viz: renovate the
prisons, asylums and aims

You're wolf in sleeps clothing or else you're a

And then if you show he least holiness OF heart
Or slight inclination to take your own part
They will call you an upstart, conceited and vain
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to explain
For people will talk.

And hint rather strong that you can't pay YOUR
