BRINGING UP CALVES.
Method Here Described Is Intended
to Lay the Foundation of Strong,
Healthy Cows.

When I find calf dropped I do
not let it suck the cow once. [ feed
it milk fresh from the mother until
it is five days old, and then I give
it four quarts of milk at feed-more
or less, according to it's size-and
warmed to the temperature of new
milk, or 80 degrees. + teach it to
drink by putting two fingers in it's
mouth, separated trife, so that the
milk may be drawn up easily, for
otherwise the little creatur would
hold it's tongue so tightly to the pal
ate that no milk could be sucked up
at all. After one of these lessons, it
wiki sometimes drink fairly well, and
almost always after the second or
third. If it does not, I do not, as
rule, consider it worth raising.
Thus started, I increase, with the
growth of the calf, the quantity of
milk, and in fortnight's time I feed
that which is not skinned until ~
houSs old. The calf then having at
tanned the age of about eight weeks,
/ give it handful of crushed oats or
augment the ration gradually as the
animal grows and needs it. Good.
strong, healthy, sleek-looking calves
are the result, calves that readily
bring five and six dollars apiece when
only three months old. If part of
them should be retained, however, the
milk feeding is kept up until they are
six months old. In this way waste
product is utilized for economically
laying the foundation of strong cows,
milk being the very best food for de-
veloping the bone and muscle and the
full growth of the vital organs, that
a young calf can have.-Fred o. Sib-
ley, in Epitomist.
Good Roads Badly Needed.
The stauement is made that there
are 100000 miles of railroads in this
country and not exceeding 10000 miles
of good ordinary roads. This sug-
gests a wide field for improvement.
A great many more people use the
ordinary than the railroads. Con-
sidered from an economic view point,
the loss sustained by the country on
account of bad roads is incalculable.
1t amounts annually to multiplied
millions. Considered from the stand
point of civilization no country that
is progressive can afford to neglect it's
ordinary public highways. The time
has come when the good roads move
ment should receive universal aid and
encouragement. It is of a great deal
more Importance now than new rail-
roads. There are railroads needed
and that will be constructed; but the
necessity for good ordinary roads is

the high opinion held of him in this
State. Captain Casteel is born mil
itary man and he is now in his ele-
ment. While he was connected with
the guard Of this State he was always
progressive, thorough and a model
for the emulation of ali the other Of
ficers of the guard.
He has made magnificent record
in the Philippines and now has com
mand of battalion drawing major S
pay but not holding the rank. He
hopes to remain in the service when
the army is reorganized, but of course
that is problematical.
The fight about which the above
letters are written is described by
Captain Casteel as follows:
1--WE went on to Noyaliches and
found that q big crowd had jumped
Gaujot and made it exceedingly hot
for him, killed one man and wounded
another. | found that they left quite
a trail behind them, so | struck out
at 12 noon, leaving part of my men
and taking Gaujot and part of his.
About 2.30 | struck them and we had
quite lively scrap for an hour or
two, and they then scattered like q
flock of birds. We killed several of
them, burned up their supplies, lib
Grated two American soldiers that
they had prisoners, and discovered
that we had jumped Geronimo, the
general-in-c of the insurgent
army, and 1909 men. We surprised
them completely and l think gave
them quite shaking up. We only
had two men slightly hurt, one shot
in the heel and another slight scalp
wound. We went back to Novaliches
and stayed all night and came back
to Montalban the next day through
San Mateo. Just before we got into
San Mateo we stopped for few min
utes and walked back the line and
left Lieut.. Faulkner to look after the
horses. When l came back he and
the hol ses were both gone, and he
came back after awhile without the
horses, having lost them. was very
much put out and so was the Colonel
when | told him, as we never expect
eu TO see Gnem again. L nau a SABRE
on the saddle that was captured from
one of the enemy's majors which was
a sore loss. Fortunately they were
found the next day with everything
intact"
Col. Casteel's friends are urging his
appointment as Adjutant General of
the National Guard and are bringing
all the pressure that they can on
Governor-elect White to that end.
The move is entirely without the
knowledge of the Colonel and is done
solely for the good of the guard. 1t
is recognized generally that he would
make the best man for the place if he
could be secured.

Simon Smith, of Corinth, West Va,
brother of John Smith, of this place,
well known in this community, where

last Sunday morning, after two
weeks illness from pneumonia and
other complications. His body was
taken on Monday morning to the
farm of his grandfather, John Muir
ply, about three miles from Frank
vile, where it was inferred beside the
remains of two other children, who
died some years ago. John was
known to everybody in town by his
beautiful hair. He never passed a
person on the street but what he turn
ed around to admire his beautiful
blond locks. Quite polite and man

who noticed him pass and repass dali

to burglarize the NJ. E. parsonage on

of escape by way of the roof of the

MOrgantown Dominin.
The following from Manila will be
read with interest here as several of
the captains mentioned are known in
Morgantown
The fortress of the insurgent Ger
onimo, at Pinauran, which the insur-
gents boasted was impregnable, was
taken and destroyed Thursday after
noon by picked force of the Forty
second and Twenty infantry
and Troop sc" of the Fourth cavalry,
under Colonel Thompson. Geronimo
and most Of the Filipinos escaped.
The leader has long harassed the
Twenty-seventh infantry, operating
in the vicinity of San Mateo, Montal-
ban and Novalichess. He was finally
located at Pinauran, 80 miles north
of Manila. His position was consid
cred the strongest in Luzon. 1t was
a stone fortress surmounting steep
hill surrounded by canyons. The
Spanish forces lost heavily in at
tempting to take it.
Colonel Thompson modified 1000
men at Montalbon. The attack was
made upon four sides-the main body
under Major Carey, of the Forty-sec-
ond, advancing from the south; Cap
tain Atkinson, of the Twenty seventh,
from the east; Captain Casteel, of the
Twenty-seventh, from the west, and
Captain SlOrn, of the Twenty-sev-
enth, from the north.
The ascents were steep and the men
climbed them by grasping the shrub
berry. 1t was impossible for the east
ern column to reach the summit, but
the others arrived after three hours
climbing under fire from the fortress
and the hillside intrenchments. The
enemy's force, numbering several
hundred, fled before the attackers
reached the top. The Americans de-
stroyed 1000 insurgent uniforms,
scores of buildings and large quanti-
ties of supplies and seized barrel
full of documents. Private Hart, of
the Twenty-seventh, and Private
Koppner, of the Forty-second, and
two native scouts were killed and II
of the attacking force were wounded.
The insurgent casualties could not be
ascertained.

a. N. Johnson, highway engineer
of the Highway Division of the Mary
land Geological Survey, was before
the County Commissioners at Hagers-
town, and rendered his services. The
Act of Assembly of 1894 gives to the
Highway Division, among other pow
ers, that of making plans of roads.
When a county desires to make con-
siderable improvement to a portion
of Il road the Highway Division is
ready to give such information as
may be desired by the county com
missioners, both as to the best meth
DDS of construction and the cost of
the improvement. In this way esti-
mates of the cost of properly drain
ing, grading and surfacing particu-
lar piece of road can be had which
will be of value to the county. The
appropriation is $4,000 a year. The
Highway Division gives its services
free to the county, or to body of in
dividual farmers if they should make
the road. The work of construction
would also be superintended by the
department.
