Dainty Calves.

Probably anyone who has ever had
experience with calves has noticed q
difference In their feeding, says cor
respondent of The National Stockman.
Some are greedy and eat all that is
placed before them; others are always
dainty, have learned that 1t rarely
pays to STOOL" with dainty calf. Bet
tor put 1t out of the way. 1t will not
pay for the fussing. Once dainty al
ways dainty, and have no use for
such an animal In the dairy. We want
COWS that will eat heartily-the more
the better-and can size an animal up
pretty well by the time it is month
old.
Cornmeal is q fsvorite feed for calves
with some, but 1t is tco fsttening. A
dairy calf does not need to be fat.
Time was when man was ashamed to
owna potbellled calf, but nowadays
unless caused by sometime else than
eating 1t is source of satisfaction rattl.
er. A dairy COW NEEDS commodious
paunch, and the COW is but the calf
grown up. Let the heifer calves have
lots Of roughage. Ifthere is a scarcity
"f clover hay, give them corn stoyer.
They will thrive on it faster the firtt

Too Much Salt.

The whole tendency among consum-
efs is toward fresher butter. In Eng
and and on the continent butter made
In those countries is served particularly
fresh and white, says the American Ag-
riculturist. In the best restaurants and
hotels in the larger cities of this couat-
y the butter contains very little salt.
A great number Of Americans who go
abroad, or who patronizs, city hotels
and restaurants in this country, are &C
quirlng the taste for fresh butter. The
fancy dairles that command extrsva-
CANT prices put out q product that is al
most fresh. Creameries that are cater
Ing to the highest class grocers and the
best family trade now use only half as
much salt as they did five or ten years
AGO

WHERE PRICES ARE STEADY.

The Mountain Dealer Objected to y
Hall For ReIiEious Reasons.
"That reminds me Indirectly" said
the other drummer, ..of yarn heard
lately over in South Carolina told at
the expense of peculiarly guileless
old chap who keeps little crossroads
store up in the mountains. Everybody
wears boots in that part Of the country,
and, as the story goes, the old fellow
had been buying his stock for many
years Of manufacturer in big city
not 1000 miles away. He paid Sc q
pair for his boors when he first went
into business, and the maker had con-
tinued charging him the same figure
year after year regardless Of the fact
that the market price had been steadily
going down. The old storekeeper, se-
cluded from the world in his mountain
home, never dreamed that he was be-
ing fleeced and took pride in paying his
bills with clocklike punctuality.
eat last, when that grade Of boots
was quoted at $3.50, the inanufactur-
ers conscience smote him.. and he de-
cided to make amends. So he wrote
: 81
the country merchant, saying that
there had been q considerable decrease
In the price Of lessser, and he was glad
to state that he would be able to let
him have the last lot Of boots he order
ed at 81 pair. This, he added, was q
special low rate, made on account OF
personal esteem and the fact that he
had been regular customer for such q
long period. A few days afterward the
conscientious manufacturer was amaz-
ed to receive q letter running some
thing like this:
Dear sir-lts mighty kind d you all 70 offer 10
Let me have them boots at ", but 1 wish you
