scoURs IN CALVES.
Causes OF the Disease and How to
Treat 1t with Reasonable Pros
Sc poets OF Success.

Calf scours are usually due to one or
more of three causes: First, and most
frequent, damp, ill-ventilated and
filthy quarters, or badly cleaned feed
ing vessels. Filth or decaying milk
generate ptomaines or poison germs
that set up the disease. The vessel
from which any animal is fed milk
should be rinsed with cold water i'm
mediately after using, and then scalded
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 degrees 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 itself
when fed. From two to three quarts
is as much as the ordinary six weeks
old calf should be fed at time. It
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 give tablespoonful or teaspoon
full of the following in little milk from
a bottle in which an egg has been
beaten. Tincture of ginger, four
ounces; tincture of opium, three
ounces; spirits Of camphor, two
ounces; tincture of rbubarb, two
ounces, and essence of peppermint, two
ounces. Mix. In very bad cases give
every two hours; in mild cases give
every four or six hours, until the dis
charges become more natural. If the
calf is small and young, one ounce of
oil and a teaspoonful of mixture will
be dose. Keep the calf warm and dry

these have not come into extensive use,
although, in one form or another, there
are isolated examples of their use in
diaries in different parts of the world.
The illustration here presented is a
suggestion along this line, and rep
resents the idea of John C. Duigan,
of Melbourne, Victoria. It comprises
teat cups, with finger loops for the
thumb and finger arranged longitude
nally on opposite sides, which prevent
the mixers hands from coming in
contact with the teats, and thus trans
ferring dirt or disease germs from one
animal to another. The milk is con-
Quoted to the milk pail through rub
Der tubes, and, as the pail is inclosed,
there is no possible contamination
there; so that, provided the milk is

free from contamination as it is pos
sible to get.-Cincinnati Commercial

MANGER RACK.

1t is made of one by two lath through

grain can be easily thrown into the
feed box. The outer portion of rack
is hinged onto the Manager, which
makes it very convenient to let down
and empty refuse stalks onto the barn
floor, where they may be worked out
into the manure yard. The fine refuse
can be worked out through the stable
for bedding. This arrangement is very
convenient also to feed hay, and where
small hangers must be used they soon
pay for themselves in the saving of feed
that is often trampled under foot by
the horses.-George w. Brown, in Ohio

THE DAIRY UTENSILS.

In private diaries it would be well
to emulate the methods in vogue in
milk shipping stations and creameries
Never neglect the care of the churn
Slight negligence in this direction may
cost you the price of many pound OF
butter.
Nothing will penetrate the crevices
of churn like hot water, and it needs
to be at a boiling temperature when
applied.
After churn has been some time out
OF use it should be thoroughly secured
with salt and repeatedly scalded be-
fore being again employed.
If it is important to keep butter
tools scrupulously clean, now much
more important is it to be rigorous in
the treatment of milk utensils.
Rigid drying of dairy utensils by
both an absorbent cloth and heat will
prove satisfactory. I haze known a
new $25 curd mill to be so eroded by
rust in one season as to be nearly
ruined, while by proper care it could
have been made to run ten years with
out repair.
There is nothing gained in patching
up old utensils about home dairy OF
mandatory. Like farming tools, the
apparatus of a creamery or cheese fac
tory generally deteriorates more
quickly in value from neglect than
from practical use in it's especial
sphere.-American Cultivator.

The Location. OF Creameries.

When the agents of creamery con-
Germ are trying to place the stock of a
new outfit, seeking subscriptions from
the farmers of a community, it is not
:. question of the proftableness OF the
creamery at E1gin or any other dairy
district, but rather question of the
probability of getting full supply Of
milk throughout the year for the
creamery that is proposed. Many
farmers can never be converted into
da;rymen. It is only when a full sup
ply of milk is absolutely assured for
the future that these stock subscrip-
tions become at allreasonably safe for

THOUGHT THERE WAS WAR.
The Gunbont WilminEton's- Salute In
the Amazon Depopulated
Village.

In describing the course of the United
States steamship Wilmington up the
Amezon river E. III. Coleman relates the
following amusing incident:
Six days after her departure from
Manaos the Wilmington reached point
where the Solimoes ends and the Rio
Maranon and Rio Javari, which form it,
begin. The Rio Javari has the distinc-
ton of serving as the boundary line be-
tween Brazil and Peru for some 800
miles, and close to it's junction with the
Maranon is small town, Tabatinga, at
which is maintained a force of Brazilian
soldiers, who have the monotonous task
OF guarding the frontier.
The Wilmington fired national sa-
lutte as she slowly approached the sta
ton and sent a boat ashore to exchange
the usual courtesies. On gaining the
Little wharf extending out from the
bluff banks in front of the town the
officer in charge of the gunboat' s cutter
noticed with some surprise that the
crowd Of spectators previously observed
on shore had entirely disappeared.
There were several Brazilian soldiers
at the landing, and one of these ven
tured to approach the naval officer. The
Brazilian seemed greatly disturbed, and
from the actions of his companions it
was evident they felt unaccountably
alarmed. .ss.-.4s': i-..:'

stifled his desire to laugh and gravely
explained the gunboat's presence and
her well-meant courtesy in expanding
so much powder.

the Brazilian, ''but, SENIOR" he added,
"you have depopulated the village. All

day; she thought if she had not left
out that window sash, the murderer
could not have gained entrance.
Aunt Sanyra employed the finest de-
tectives to clear up. the mystery. but
it remained a mystery still.

months after the murder, what is

But one thing had .peen borne in
upon my mind very forcibly of late,
and that was. the change in Susan FL

she had been different girl. and
seemed only the shadow of her for

I attributed this state of things to a
morbid, oversensitive conscience, which
would persist in attaching great blame
10 herself for having left out that win
dow sash. One phase of her character,
however, I was at loss to account for,
and that was the sudden and unac-
countable aversion she had taken to
Aunt Samyra's poor old yellow cat.
Formerly, I remembered, she had
been the cats greatest champion, and
many time she had shared meal
with pussy; but now she actually shiv-

against her. =.

her escort to the concert, the night Of
Uncle Ralph's death; the old home had

Susan Ellen had invited me TO spend
a week with her, and as her husband
was away on business we had ample
opportunity for the exchange of long

One night, as we sat by the fire, the
subject happened to turn on Aunt Sa-

while calling my attention to the comet,
which was then the universal topic of
conversation. I felt guilty standing
at the gate, for Aunt Samyra had often
told me not to do so, and involuntarily
I glanced toward the house, expecting
to see her pol1ing her head out of the
window, looking at me. Instead, two
curious objects in Uncle Ralph's win
dow caught my eye.
''You remember it was such bright
moonlight that one could see very dis

was in. but hoisted on a piece of broom

Samyra's old yellow cat. while Uncle
Ralph. with his head poked out from
the window, was also regarding the

ssWhile hesitated what to do, pussy
began rubbing herself against the piece
of broom handle that held up the win
dow. The broom handle, I am afraid,
had been put up in very slanting, in
secure fashion; realized this in flash

on the window sill. And I had barely
realized it when the broom handle

consequences that are apt to result
from it. In the up-to-date dairy every

A VENERABLE TOWN.
An Oll-W0rld Town That Was
Founded 600 Years Be-
fore Christ.

1t is not an American city, whose in
habitants put on airs because it was
founded $50 years ago! but a really old
world town ten times as aged. The city
Of Marseilles is about to celebrate the
two thousand five hundredth anniver-
sary of it's foundation by colonists from
Phocaea. The exact date of the founda-
ton of Marseiues can hardly be deter
mined; but the Marseillaise cleverly
make out a case in favor Of the time
about 600 years before Christ.
In celebrating it's twenty-ffth CEN
tenary Marscilles wished to entertain
Hospitality the mayor of the city of
Phocaea, its mother city. That inten-
ton raised the question: What had be-
come of Phocaea? Units day the Ionian
city of Phocaea, in Asia Minor, YVES a
place of at least 15O, 1000 inhabitants. 1t
was one of the most enterprising n arr
time cities of antiquity, and it's ships
led the way to the Adriatic, the Tyr
rhenian and Iberian seas. It planted the
town of Massalia, which the Romans
called Massilia, the Provencals Mar
sillo, and the French call it Marseille.
The geographers agree that ancient
Phocaea is represented at the present
day by the little Turkish town of Ka-
radja-Fokia, or Nova Foggi, not far
from Smyrna. The ancient city, like
ancient Massalia, has handed down it's
name to the present day. ...z.
So an invitation was sent to the prin-
cipal local functionary at Kar4ldja-
Fokia to attend the celebra ton at Mar
settles. But he was compelled to respond
that Phocaea had so far fallen from it's
ancient wealth and splendor that it
could not raise enough money to send
its chief magistrate to France.
The mayor of Athens and the syndic
of Rome were also invited, and they
have been able to accept. They wall be-
hold, in the swarming population IF the
third city of France, people who still
retain traces of the Ionian Hellenic
blood which the founders of the city
took in their veins from Phocaea.-

Since the value of corn fodder is

crouches the tabernacle-a squat brown
turtle shell set hard upon countless red
pillars. Near by is another Enclosure,
walled like the first and buttressed with
cobblestones, where tilhing is taken
and coin counted out, and where, in the
caller day, Brigham Young made his
home and incidentally the home of his
incalculable wives. There in the high
way raises the tall plinth which sup
ports the bronze statue of Brigham
himself. Then to the four points of the
compass run the stately broad streetso of
the Mormon capital, lined with superb
shops, adobe cottages and occasional
really magnificent homes, and shaded
by never-ending rows of tall, shivering
Lombardy poplars, planted by rivers

NOT GOOD FOR cows.
The Feeding of Musty Hay Injuries
the Milk Flavor and Is the
Cause Of Poor Butter

Do not feed musty hay to dairy COWS,
nor in fact any kind of fodder that is
musty. Some believe that this musti-
ness will not pass through into the
milk, and it may be SO, but we are
suspicious of the truth of the asser-
ton. 1t is a fact that there is a diff
ference in the flavor of butter made on
June grass and the butter made in
the winter when the COWS are fed on
dry hay. If this difference in feed
makes any difference in flavor, why
may it not make a good deal of diff
ference if the feed be particularly
bad. Moldy feed is bad thing to
have around in any case and should
be thrown out. Using it as cow bed
ding is likely to make the matter
worse, for the whole stable will be
scented with it, and in the morning
when the milk is drawn it will GER
tainly be tainted and this faint will
grow as the cream ripens. It is not
advisable to use this for bedding and
depend on airing the barn enough in
the morning to get the smell out. This
would be seldom done at all, and where
done it would generally be done in a
very imperfect manner. The presence
of spoiled feed is very often the cause
of poor butter.-Farmers' Review.
Fallacy of Changing Methods.
The farmers are now reaping the
results of neglecting the dairy cows.
They thought when the low price of
butter came on few years ago that
it would always continue and so be-
came careless of the breeding and
feeding of their dairy cows. Some of
the farmers bred their cows to beef
bulls and got half-beef calves, which
they let run with the cows, arguing
they might as we'll save the cost of a
hired mixer and get good beef at
the same time. Now that butter is
very high they are unable to take ad-
vantage of the rise. This is always
the fate of those that are continually
changing their methods. - Farmers
