Feed Calves Accordingly.

Calves for veal may be started on
whole milk, gradually shifted to skim
milk, and finished off with whole milk
for a week or ten days to give them q
smooth appearance and improve their
sale. In a number of careful trials
reported, calves gained one pound in
weight from ten to sixteen pounds Of
skim-milk.
Calves for beef stock can be proftm
ably raised on a diet largely skiX
milk, but should be taught to eat
and grain as soon as possible. He
for dairy purposes should grow
thrifty way, but should not get
fat; for these skim-milk is the b
food of all until they are a year old

In feeding milk to calves. especially
young ones, overlooking must be
guarded against, and the milk can be

ready described. If skim-milk from q
creamery is used, great care must be
exercised to prevent injury from old
or tainted milk. Calves are much
sooner made sick with bad milk than
are pigs. If the milk is clean and
pure acidity does not hurt, dirty and
putrid milk is death to calves and
should never be fed under any circum-
stances.

NEWS OF THE STATE.
Altruist Colony Incorporated.

010
The Moorestown Association OF Altruists
has been incorporated In Burlington Coun-
~ to. conduct q farm colony on the co.
operative plan. Members are to pay $5 to
join and ~ week. The association is
composed OF men who have achieved some
prominence in various walks OF life, and
they propose to demonstrate that this or.
ganization, which is modelled after that of
the Brook Farm community. win solve the
problem that has so long confronted those
who have endeavored to conduct q town
on the cooperative plan. Edgar Conrow,
q farmer, OF Moorestown, Is the President.
After conferences an organization was
formed with these officers, In addition to
Mn. Conrow: Vice-Presfdent, Mrs. A.. p.
McOrary, OF Hot Springs, Ark; Treasurer,
Fenton F. Mullins, OF Philadelphia; Secre-
tary, Albert 8. Dulin, formerly of Wash
fngton; Secretary of Manufacture, Samuel
Jones, OF Toledo, Ohio; Secretary OF Edu-
cation, Professor George D. Heron, of
Iowa University; Secretary of Agriculture,
r. /. Bonner, OF Philadelphia; Secretary of
Exchange, George W. Gales, OF Bristol,
Conn. It Is proposed to lease several
farms In Deiran township, near Bridge
boro. In fact, one farm already has been
obtained, and the work Of putting the
buildings In shape will begin at once. 1t
Is located on the road to Moorestown, and
Is very fertile. 1t Is proposed to conduct
agricultural and dairy operations on an
extensive scale and establish factories and
shops. There will be no Individual owner
ship OF land or public utilities.
Farmers Are ON Strike.
The farmers throughout South Jersey,
who have for several years been engaged
In the raising Of tomatoes under contract
for the canning houses, are up In armD
over the proposition to fix the rate to be
paid for tomatoes during the current year
at IS per ton. The price last year was
81, and the probabilities are that many
! will refuse to raise them this year at that
price. The reason given by the tanners
for reducing the price is that the cost of
producing the goods has increased con
s~iderably. Tinplate costs nearly double
what It DID last year, and solder, packing
gases, nails and labels have increased In
like proportion. There has also been an
advance In freight rates. On the other
hand, the price Of canned goods has in
creased very little, and some OF the goods
are not bringing cost to the Gamer. That
the farmers are very much in earnest In
their determination not to submit to the
reduction was evidenced by q conference
held at Mount Holly, at which q number OF
large growers were present. They had re-
ports from q number OF prominent farmers
In Salem and Cumberland Counties, in
which they announced their determine
tfon to form an organization for mutual
protection, and join with the farmers OF
Mount Holly in refusing to make any con-
tracts to furnish tomatoes for less than
81 per ton. The farmers propose to
strengthen their organization in every
! way, and, II necessary. will themselves en-
gage in the canning business on the CO.
operative plan. which has proved success
ful in other localities.

The Problem Is Always a Very
Difficult One.
What Must Be Done
This Year.
Some OF the Things City Council
VIII Be Asked To Do.

The committee on estimates met last
evening et the Mayors offios. Alder
man Brown and Councilman Roberts
were absent and no formal action was
taken. The committee went over the
ground with City Auditor Sanborn anc
examined into the condition OF the city
affairs with view Of preparing for the
work that is to come. They then ad-
journed until Monday at 80 o'clock.
The difficulties which facs the commit
tee on estimates this year are by no
means as formidable as were those which
the committee q year ago was called up
on to face. Then the oommittee was all
at sea with the annexation Of Deering
and the hundred and one demands which
were made upon the city treasury. This
year there do not seem to be quite as
rrany projects on hand and the commit
tee sees plain sailing when compared
with last year.
= Vaughan's bridge must be rebuilt.
something must be done towards COM
plsting the interoepting sewer, money
must be appropriated 10 complete the
Park street school, the Deering High
school lot must be graded, some provision
made for the enlargement Of the Deering
school buildings TO give accommodation
here for the pupils of that district. the
Central Fire Station needs overhauling
and remodelling and the West End and
Deering will ask fur some additions In
the way OF fire protection. Besides
these matters there are OF course many
streets which the various parts Of the
city think should be paved and other
things to.be done by the department Of
public works. Then there will come be-
fore the estimate committee for action \
proposition for an appropriation to carry
into effect q milk ordinances for the pro-
lection of tn Q infants OF Portland,a prop
osition TO build a hospital for contagious
diseases and to tear down the old aims
house and put mp new one at the Deer
ing farm. TIE school committee will
ask that the salaries OF some of The
teachers be raised 20 that Portland may
keep her good teachers instead OF seeing
them called away to positions which are
more lucrative for the same kind Of work
in Auburn and Lewiston. and other cit
les in Maine and Massachusetts. The
CO mmittes will also be asked to consider
the advisability to make an sppropri-
alton to make some changes In the pc.
lioe station whion have long been needed.
OF course there are many other things
besides these which have been mentioned
which will engage the attention Of the
COMMITTEES. In fact the estimate COM
lnitt . has the prospect of very pleasant
two or three weeks ahead Of them. They
must play the part Of the man with the
big family, each member of which wants
many things and who has to figure now
to make both ends meet and keep his
head above water on a very small In
oome. For with all its size, Its valuation
and its tax rate the demands Of the pub.
Lilo seam to increase yearly while the
eity's income doesn't increase with pro-
portionate rapidity.

however, that this tax rate will not be
raised, nor Is there much hope, from the
present Indications Of its being lowered
