The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1900-07-17

We once raised a calf that never
learned to drink milk, writes con-
tributor to National Stockman and
Farmer. 1t was the only case Of the
sort l ever heard of and we naturally
supposed that it would die, for by no
possible means could it be taught to
drink any milk, more than just to taste
of it. 1t grew very thin, even before
we gave it up. but as nobody wanted
the job of killing it we turned it into
the field and let it take its chances
After that it lived somehow, on grass
and water, and it did not get any too
much of either, for we had the bad
habit of turning calves into sort OF
clearing that had neither water nor
feed in much quantity, expecting the
calves to live mainly on milk. Inc
calf that would not drink milk seemed
to fairly dry and shrivel up till it was
a sort of walking shadow, but it made
a great fight for life and came out IN
the fall quite an animal, so that II
wintered with the other stock and be-
was heifer and as cow developed
the ordinary milking qualities OF the
rest of the herd, none the worse, ap-
parently, for its experience. Nobody
had any idea why it disliked milk.
cannot remember whether it began by
sucking the mother or not, but sup
pose that it did, as it was common 10
allow the calf to remain with the COW
till the milk was fit to use.
My experience is that all possible
effort to get calves to eating solid food
early is valuable. We take to late
summer or fall calves as we watch
them more. These can be taught TO
eat grass early and as it does not
physic them as the over-succulent
spring growth does, they can eat as
much as they will without injury.

The man that wants to become a sue
cessful poultryman must not become
discouraged. This is the first requisite
lie Is sure to have most discouraging
things happen to his flock, and, after
three or four years of such happenings.
he will feel that poultry raising is
delusion and that there is no success
possible in it, anyway. But that is
just the time when he should not
think of quitting. 1t would be Just as
reasonable for child, after having

to think of giving up trying to live for
fear of constant recurrence of meas

them he is not likely to have them
again. He has learned in the dear
school of experience and is now ready
to apply his lessons.

1t is not perhaps known generally
that the feathers of hens form a con-
siderable article of commerce. There
are in Chicago and New York firms
that make business of buying and
selling feathers of all kinds of domes-
tic fowls including the hen. They
nave agents that travel through the
country buying up all the feathers they
can get. The farms are not visited, but
the large shippers of poultry are. for
the reason that they have feathers in
sufhclent quantity to make the visit of
an agent an object. Most of the feath-
ers OF the hen are used for filling
feather beds and pillows. The large

disappeared. They were sure he could not
have gotten far. sad finally discovered him
in hiding between door and a mattress
Fowler admitted his identity ana said he
had thought himself safe and had expect
Cd 10 start for Paris today.
Fowler is a rather small man. twenty
seven years old dresses with taste and
civil engineer and a carriage builder. and

PUmpbrey and POhler-
Well. now you have me-. I am going to
tell the whole truth about the matter"
Captain Hall warned him that any such
statement would be voluntary. but he per-
sisted. The statement in effect was as FOL
lows:
''On or about May last girl gave birth
to a child. she was attended by a Dr.
Clarke. Soon after the birth I arrived
with DR. Thompson. OF Seabright- When
We went in 1 asked DR.. Thompson what
we could do with the child. and he said
there was only one thing to do We then
took the child 10 another room. the doctor
saturated a rag with some stuff from a
bottle, placed the rag in a funnel-shaped
concern. and fitted that over the baby S
face and left it there six or seven min
utes.
Then he took il of. saying: It's all
over and I saw that the child was dead.

body dropped IL into the river
we had agreed TO dispose OF the child
some time before. After disposing OF the
body l drove DR.. Thompson back to Sea-

that the part played by DIR. Thompson in
the story is fake They agree that the
story may be true. but think it more prob
able that DIR. Thompson" was brought in

that Wales neck was not broken, death
was painless and instantaneous.
