Calf scours are usually due to one or
more Of three causes, says the Jersey
Bulletin First and most frequent,
Damp i'll ventilated and filthy quarters
or badly cleaned feeding vessels. Filth
or decaying milk generates ptomaines
or poison germs that set up the disease.
The vessel from which any animal is
fed milk should be rinsed with cold
water Immediately after using and
then sealed every day. After scalding
it should be set in the sun to dry, drain
and sweeten. Second, feeding cold
milk, that chills the young calf and
checks digestion. From 80 to 100 de-
grees is the proper temperature for
calf milk. Third, too long time be-
tween feeding; as a consequence the
calf gets so hungry that it gorges it.
self when fed. From two to three quarts
is as much as the ordinary weeks
old calf should be fed at a time. 1t
should be fed not less than three times
a day until it begins to take solid food.
The remedy is to feed Sparingly for
day or two. Give one or two ounces
of castor oil in a little milk and two
hours later tablespoonful or teaspoon
full of the following in a little milk
from a bottle in which an egg has
been beaten: Tincture of ginger, 4
ounces; tincture of opium, 3 ounces;
tincture of rhubarb, ounces, and es-
sence of peppermint, ounces; mix.
In very bad cases give every two hours.
in mild cases give every four or six
hours until the discharges become more
natural. If the calf is small and
young, an ounce Of oil and a teaspoonful'
of mixture will be a dose. Keep the
calf warm and dry.

Raising Calves without Milk.

The oldest method known of raising
calves without milk and one that is
practiced with good success at the
present day is by means Of hay tea.
Good clover hay which has been cut
early is taken; cut five-eighths of an
inch long and boiled for one-half hour.
Three pounds of hay are allowed for
each calf After the hay is boiled the
short hay is placed on a wire cloth
sieve and strained, while the faxseed
and middlings to be mixed with it are
put into the kettle with the hay ex-
tract and boiled to a jelly. Two gal
Ions of the tea, in which one-Quarter
pound of faxseed and One-quarter
pound Of wheat middlings have been
boiled, are given each day to calf &c
days old. At the end Of 60 days the
half pound per day. A bulletin from
the Ontario Farmers institute says the
boiling extracts the soluble nutritive
constituents Of the hay, and this ex-
tract contains all the food elements re-
quired to make the animal grow and is,
moreover, as digeStible as milk. Gains
per day of two pounds per head and
over have been reported in calves up to
2 months old that were fed on the ex-
tract Of tea faXseed and middlings.
To insure success, however, the hay
must be we'll cured, bright and Of good
quality and the tea be fed at temper
allure Of 80 or 90 degrees F. Very Of
ten the extract Is weak in albuminOus
and fatty matter on account of being
made from late cut or poorly cured
hay, or the mistake is made of adding
too much water. Under the circum-
stances it is not surprising if the
calves do not make good, healthy
growth. The hay tea may be fed to
calves until they can do without it, it's
place being then taken by pasture or
green feed in the pen. Some discon-
tinue it when their calves are 3 months
old, but continue the oil and bran in
dry state all the summer, or these can
be mixed with water if this is consid-
cred advisable. The STEPPED hay after
the tea is extracted is greedily eaten
by horses and cattle; but, of course,
much of it's goodness is removed in the
boiling.

NOT REVERSIBLE.
On, Decision That the Supreme
Court Couldn't Alter.

OnSS decision the supreme
Court Couldn't Alter.
In the good old days when Judge
Gaslin sat upon the bench in a district
that comprised the western half Of
Nebraska, the ruStler, the horse thief
and the killer abounded. Judge Gaslin
was aware that there was but one way
to rid the country of these pests, and
that way was to make it too hot for
them. Accordingly Judge Gaslin, when
one of them was put on trial, admitted
evidence that was sometimes "incom-
petent, irrelevant and immaterial," but
as it was generally true that if the
prisoner was not guilty he had been
guilty of something equally bad Judge
Gaslin let it go at that and clinched
the prisoner on general principles. The
result was that the supreme court re-
versed a good many of the judges
cases.
During these perilous times an afro
cious murder was committed in Adams
county and the perpetrators were soon
captured. The evidences of guilt were
plain, and the two prisoners were soon
pronounced guilty and sentenced to be
hanged. But as several notorious char
acters had recently been allowed to es-
cape by the supreme court, the people
of Adams determined to forestall any
thing Of that kind by quietly lynching
the prisoners. The two men were TAX
en- from the Jail and hanged to rail-
road bridge east of town
The bodies were left hanging to the
bridge, and next morning Judge Gas
lin sauntered out that way to take a
look. He gazed on the swaying bodies
for few moments without saying a
word. Then he turned to a friend and
remarked:
az sentenced those two fellows to be
hanged. That's one decision that in
fernal supreme court won't reverse
