Raising Calves.

In the course of something like "a
years on the farm and for many years
keeping and raising cows, says c. w
Murtfeldt in the ST Louis Republic,
we have found it best to keep a calf In
good growing condition, not to over
feed, but never to let her lack or go on
starvation rations. ! would rather feed
extreme. All our calves are weaned
from the start. Never let the calf
draw the milk except possibly once or
twice, because that first milk is medi
cine more than food Give new milk
for 10 or 10 days; then feed half new
milk and the other half skimmiIk. If
the skimmilk is plenty and the calf is
in pasture also. feed 1t well three times
a day. The skimmilk contains casein,
cheesy matter. which helps the growth
of bones and builds up the frame.
Handle and gentle the calf every
time you feed 1t. 1t will soon know
you or those that bring the feed. A
calf so raised will not shrink or run
from you and is broken even to the
handling of the bag. She will let you
lift up her feet and In every way pos
sible, for a calf, let you know that
your visits are welcome and that you
are friend and not foe. At the age
of IL months, If she be In heat, the
bull is presented, and. If need be, every
three weeks thereafter-not oftener.
When she becomes pregnant, she will
be quiet. Then give liberal rations.

THE CRASH OF HEAVY GUNS.

Fearful Strain of the Conclusion
Upon the Nerves and Ears.
The stunning report of each gun as
it Is fred is something that stranger
on the deck will long remember There
is an old saying deaf as a post.
Now, In the royal navy. this is changed
to deaf as post captain"
No man can go through long series
of gunnery practices without having
his hearing very seriously affected.
Some men put cotton wool In their
ears, but even this precaution does lit
tie to deaden the terrible shock. And
if the firing of one or two guns has
such a shattering power, what would
be the effect il the whole armament
were in action together?
1t is almost impossible to conceive
the strain upon nerve and senses of the
rending conclusion. If visitor
watches the firing of one OF the mon
ster 8 inch guns and then places him
self beside one of the smaller pieces.
the report made by the one will not
appear much louder than that of the
other. The extra distance TO the muz-
zle of the big piece discounts the sound.
The only apparent difference between
the two appears to be that the small
pieces have a sharper. higher pitched
note. and that the and 8 inch guns
speak with more of believing roar.
One piece of advice may be given to
any one who finds himself in the
neighborhood of a gun In action. The
noise will not have nearly the same
effect If you are watching the gun as
If the crash comes unexpectedly. Un-
consciously nature prepares you to re-
sist shock which is known to be i'm
pending. -Blackwood's Magazine.

Carrotn For Cows

In the table of nutritive value which
the Michigan Farmer publishes carrots
are rated per cent of fat. while both
sugar beets and beets for fodder are
rated at only ! per cent of fat, but
whatever chemical analysis may show
as the percentage of fat In potatoes it
is practically nothing when it comes to
butter making. The cream from milk
from cows fed on potatoes is white,
waxy and without the grain that the
best butter should have. Feeding cows
with beets causes them to give great
amount of milk, and 1t makes fair.
good butter. but the cows also need
some cornmeal or other grain feed to
increase the butter fats. Feeding the
carrots makes the milk increase in
quantity, and it viii be rich milk. max

very little corn. OF all the roots grown
carrots and parsnips are the best of all
roots to feed to milk cows. They are
largely fed in the Channel islands, and
it is possibly this feeding on succulent
food combined with the mild winter
that prevails there. that has helped de-
velop the milking qualities of Jersey
and Guernsey cows.

A writer in Lady's Realm says there

man, when returning from the theater.
She will be still under the spell of one
of the actors. and beside his romantic
figure you dwindle into insignificance.
1t Is better to propose on the way to

Rather than upset an evenings enjoy

An interesting question has from

not escape the flames and TO have in

This idea is now, however. found to be
erroneous. as it has been proved that
the scorpion is not affected by his own
venomous fluid. and the hypothesis of
his suicide cannot be maintained Ii
appears from later observations mad ,

An american Duel.


During my residence In Heidelberg a
lamentable and terrible affair took
place that threw a profound gloom
over the university and the entire
town. Two German students, having
quarreled. decided the earth was not
large enough for both of them to live
In and resorted to the diabolical prac-
tice called the american duel"
In a darkened room the two young
men drew lots. having sworn that he
who drew the black ball would commit
suicide The unhappy loser went to
his room and discharged a bullet into
bis breast. but missed his heart and
fingered for several days on his death
bed. His parent were summoned by
telegraph and besought him on their
knees to disclose the name Of his an
tagonist, but he steadfastly refused
and died with the secret in his breast.
The students not only excused his
conduct, but praised his courage, and
when his remains were taken to the
railway station to be transported to a
distant city they accompanied the fu-
neral cortege with torches and music.
The students claimed be was not sui

Sailing BUTTER.
Consider Individual Tastes and the
Season of the Year.

Consider Individual IaStes ana tne
Season of the Year.
There seems to be quite a common
idea that the use of salt in some ways
intensifies or increases the flavor Of
butter, says the New York Produce
Review. l am inclined to think, how
ever, that it really has no such effect
so far as the true ''butter flavor" is
concerned First, it has some preser
walton effect, and, secondly. it makes
the butter more palatable to the aver
age taste in the same manner as it i'm
proves the taste of other food upon
which it is commonly used as a condi
ment. There is vast difference In in
dividual taste as to the use of salt
Over in England a good deal of unsalt
ed butter is used, and the majority OF
the best trade prefers a very lightly
sailed article even when the flavor OF
the butter itself is very mild. In this
country more pronounced flavor is pre-
ferred. Now, it is a fact that people
naturally use salt less freely in season
ing articles of food which have high
flavor of their own than when the fla
yor of the food is not pronounced OF
neutral
A dish of green peas, just from the
vines and possessing the delicate fla
vor so desired, is enjoyed much more
when the fine aroma is not covered uI.
with saltiness. but when this delicate
favor is absent. as in the case of the
canned article, the deficiency seems tc
be compensated somewhat by the use
of little more salt l think it is the
same with butter When the naturally
high favor incident to the season OF
fresh. green pastures is found in the
butter, the people want little salt In it
and one-half to three-fourths of ar
ounce to the pound is ample. but when
this high flavor and aroma are lost OF
much reduced during the less favora-
bic conditions of fall and winter the
lack seems to be compensated some.
what by slight increase In saltiness,
not that the salt really increases the
butter flavor. but 1t makes up some.
what for the lack Of it and makes the
butter more palatable to the average
consumer.
1t is often necessary, therefore, as
the natural flavor of butter decreases
in the fall to increase the use of salt
little, but much care should be taken
not to overdo the matter, for oyersalt-
ing is worse than neutral favor, and
butter makers who have received no
complaints from their customers should
make no change until their commission
agent advises them to do so.

A Happx Expedient.

Some few years back a colonel COM
handing some marines was much exer-
cised In his mind as to how to deal
with two Of his men who were contin-
ually fighting. Threats. pack drill and
even cells were tried. but were of no
avail. No sooner were they free than
they flew at one another and were at it
again with worse results than before.
AT last he hit on happy expedient
The next time the men were brought
before him be set them to clean all the
windows in the barracks. one inside.
the other out. and neither to go to the
next window till the other had finish
ed. The next morning they started.
and after glaring at one another for
three or four windows the situation be-
came too ludicrous. They both burst
out laughing and have been good
friends ever since.-LOndon Answers.
