METHODS HAVE CHANGED.
Calves Are No Longer Given Fresh
Milk, Which Was an Expensive
and Ill-AdVised Practice.

In earlier days, when farmers knew
little concerning what is now the COM
mon possession of nearly every farm
worker, it was the practice to permit
young calves to suck at least two teats
and sometimes three of the four, the
milkmaid or milkman taking what was
left. Calves in those days were no bet
ter than they are now, yet they re-
ceived more milk, or, at all events. rich
er milk. Practices have changed. Every
saving means much in this age. Waste
of valuable material of any kind must
be checked if any profit is to be realized.
Calves are no longer given milk fresh
from their dams, drawn by their own
mouths. Twentieth century calves are
raised on skimmilk which contains all
the elements of life-sustaining food
only the butter fat having been re-
moved.
Skimmilk, judiciously fed. gives as
good results fed to calves as are OBJ
served in calves sucking their dams.
This argues the lack of business tact and
good judgment on the part of the farm
er who, knowing it, persists in allowing
his calves to suck the COW. If, however,
the calves are TO be raised without the
COWS how are they to be fed the skim
milk? This question arises in the mind of
the intelligent dairy farmeratthe outset
and offers an opportunity TO give few
general hints. After the calves are able
to stand up.and get around fairly well
they should be placed in warm, com
Portable quarters, fully protected from
hogs and cold, and their first ration
should consist of some warmed skim
milk. Trouble may at first be expert
enced in inducing Them to drink it and
it may be necessary to dose them with
a spoon. But this will not last long.
Soon they will learn to drink the milk
from a clean trough. After they have
reached this point but little trouble will
be had with them. Increase the guam.
tity of milk as their ages advance and
their appetites seem to warrant.
To ascertain the value of the hand
method as compared with the mother
method let a COW or two raise a calf |
Compare gains in weight and conforma-
ton with that of the cow-raised calves. |
The results will prove that after the
'alf has been delivered in good shape
there is no further practical use for
the cow.-Farmers' Voice.

Alcohol and Plant Life.

An ingenious Frenchman, M. Louis
Levat, recently administered alcohol,
through the soil, to a geranium plant
for the purpose of observing the effect.
1t was sufficiently startling. The leaves

days the alcoholized geranium, which
had been a very beautiful plant, was a

EARTH A PYRAMID.
English Scientist Advanced Theory
That Is Attracting Considerable
Scientific Attention.

Since the earth was first formed
many theories have been advanced as to
its shape and the process of its forma-
ton, but no one until our day ever
maintained that its form was that of "a
huge pyramid. Centuries ago Pyth-
agoras and Aristotle declared that it
was spherical, AnaXimander that it was
| shaped like a column, Democritus that
it was "A concave disk and very much re-
semb!ed huge porringer, Empedocles
| and AnaXimenes that it was plane
disk, and Zenofanes that it had roots
Ike tree, which spread in all direc-
lions far into the infinite.
Now comes Mr.. j. Greene, an English
scientist and government official in
the Sandwich islands, with bold an
nouncement that all these ancient theo-
ries, as we'll as the modern ones, are
utterly baseless, since, according to
Kim, the earth has the form of tri-
angular pyramid, OF, in other words, of
It regular tetrahedron, with the apex at
the south pole and the base at the north.
An extraordinary theory this may seem
to all of us who are so familiar will the
earth as pictured on paper mache
globes, and yet it is attracting the at
tention of European biologists, and
among Others of NJ. De Lapparent. who
seems by no means inclined to reject ii
hastily.
Iergioni Tozzetti, writer of the last
century, said: IF we can suppose all
the water of the seas to be annihilated
we would find that the solid earth was
Of most rugged form"
According to this hypothesis, say
geographers of the old school, there
ought to be a spacious sea opposite
every continent. The new theory,
however, as has been said, seemingly |
eliminates the waters of the earth all |
together and cares not jot as to their
location. If we admit that the earth |
is now completely solicited, even in its
central parts, we must, it is asserted, |
also admit that il was at one time in
state of fusion, and that after a crust
was formed the hot substances eradu-
ally cooled. In time the earth would
present an appearance as harmonious
ana as free from unsightly protuber-
lnces as possible.-N. Y. Herald.
