Dainty Calves,

Probably any one who has ever hail
experience with calves has noticed a
difference in their feeding, says a cor
respondent of The National Stockma0.
Some are greedy and eat all that is
placed before them; others are always
dainty. l have learned that it rarely
pays to fool with dainty calf. Bet
ter put it out of the way. 1t will not
pay for the fussing. Once dainty al
ways dainty, and 1 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 we'll by the time it is month
old.
Cornmeal is favorite feed for
calves with some, but it is too fatten-
ing. A dairy calf does not need to be
fat. Time was when a man was asham-
ed to own potbellied calf, but now
adays unless caused by something else
than eating it is source of satisfac-
ton rather. A dairy COW needs COM
modious paunch. and the cow is but
the calf grown up. Let the heifer calves
have lots Of roughage. If there is a
scarcity Of clover hay, give them corn
stover. They will thrive on it after
the first few weeks.

Advance In Milk Prices.

The announcement that the prices of
milk will be a cent a quart higher is
not unexpected by those who have
watched the reports of the hay crops
and shortage of pasture together with
the advancing price of grain. says The
American Cultiyator. If the farmers
received the whole benefit of this, it
would not be too much, but as they
get less than One-half the two last
advances we think that contractors
and dealers are doing n more profitable
business than before. and we see no
just reason why the can Of eight quarts
should cost the consumer 16 cents more
than in July and the farmer should
get only cents of that. Yet we know
farmers who by having better cows
and by having had plenty Of green feed
for them in the summer and ensilagc
for winter feed are producing milk as
cheaply or cheaper than they Gid two
years ago. when the grass crop was 80
abundant. 1t is good time now to
select out and fatten the poorest cows.

Too Much Salt.

The whole tendency among consum-
ers is toward fresher butter. In Eng
land and on the continent butter made
in those countries is served particular
~ fresh and white, says The American
Agricuiturist. In the best restaurants
and hotels in the larger. cities of this
country the butter contains very little
salt. A great number of Americans
who so abroad, Or who patronize city
hotels and restaurants in this country,
are acquiring the taste for fresh but
ter. The fancy dairies that command
eXtrayagant prices put out a product
that is almost fresh. Creameries that
are catering to the highest class gro
GERS and the best family trade now use
only half as much salt as they did five
or ten years ago.
This point is worthy Of more general
consideration by. dairynen and cream
cry men everywhere. The quality of
salt is also important, but the leading
brands are now quite above reproach
in this respect OF course the salt man
Cfacturer favors the largest possible
use Of salt, but the dairyman's chief
object should be quality rather than
quantity in salt. The large export trade
IN butter, particularly in England and
the continent, will never be built up
until the peculiarities Of that market
regarding reduced quantity Of Ealt n
butter are catered to.

4 Strange Exnerience.


An Atlanta woman who is deeply in
terested in psychological research re-
lates the following story about an ex-
perience her husband had in the realms
OF the occult:
eve were having new home built,
and my husband went to it every day
to see what progress was being made.
One day as he stood in the front room
up stairs his attention was attracted
to the street. Looking out Of the win
dow, he saw funeral procession pass
ing from. the, door and out through the
gate. The casket was small, white and
covered with flowers. He recognized
friends and neighbors in the crowd,
and through some indefinable impress
sion he understood that the corpse was
that Of his son, though he had no son
at that time Surprised and startled at
the thought he saw the procession van
ish, and he was entirely at loss how
to account for the experience. The
hour was noon, and there was nothing
in his mood or environment apparently
that induced the subconscious.
within few months little son
was born to us. and at the age of 3
years it was carried out Of the gate in
a flower covered, white casket and fol-
lowed by the same friends my husband
had seen that noontime long before.
What explanation can be given of this
circumstance and experiences like it
that are constantly being related in So
cieties of psychical culture ?"-Atlanta

Most satisfactory Cheap Structures

At first silos We're either square or
rectangular, but more or less difficulty
was experienced from the spelling Of
the silage at the corners, and it was
also difficult to make the high wooden
silo strong enough to resist the lateral
pressure of the mass of silage, writes
Assistant Agrostologist Williams OF
the agricultural department. This led
to the building of the circular silo
which form is generally preferred at
the present time. There are no corners
in such a silo, and a much stronger
structure can be made with less build
ing material than in the square or rec
tangular type. Moreover, the capacity
Of the round silo is greater in proper

ent practice when building q square CT
rectangular silo to board up or other

NEW YORK. June S,-The Herald,
discussing the financial panic in Berlin,
says;
To the best informed men in local
financial circles it would not be sur
prising, if money difficulties should
arise in Europe at the present time,
that they should originate in the Ger
man capital. For three years, or ever
since the passage of the Boerse law,
seeking to regulate speculation and
prohibiting dealing in futures, it has
been pointed out that unusual burdens
had been thrown upon German banks,
greatly straining their resources and
calling forth many notes Of warning,
not only from foreign bankers, but also
from the minister of finance. The
wave of industrial combination that
sprang up in England and developed
SO enormously here was communicated
to Berlin also, and amounted to veri-
table craze. Nearly everything avail
able in a commercial enterprise has
been combined or capitalized under the
leadership. apparently, Of local secur-
tiles. such as gas and electric light,

palities have suffered from inability to
float loans at satisfactory figures.
