coIve. Raised on skimmIIIc.

We know that we can raise as good
calves upon skimmilk as upon the
whole milk, for we have done it. We
have taken the calf from the cow when
a day old and fed her milk for a week or
ten days, and then began to mix skim
milk with the new milk until three
weeks old it was using all skimmilk, in
which was put little cOrnmeal por-
ridge or cruel, taking care to always
have it of the same temperature as the
new milk, and then beginning at about
four weeks old, or even earlier, to put a
little clover rowen, or the best fine hay
where the calf could nibble at it. Some
calves will do this much sooner than
others.-Cincinnati Commercial.

in town to catch the local pride in
Nose and had seen Nose make
couple of dogs look cheaper than 30
cents. He wouldn't have it that way
and said he would bet clean 500
that Nose would win. That looked
like picking up money for us all and
we went into the game with zest,
taking care first that Jenkins should
have his money up. We had no diff
ficulty in putting up our money and
even Jim invested SIS against his own
pet. That sum was a fortune for
Jim. but it was such a cinch that he
rislled every cent he had or could
borrow.
"Well, the fight came on. We met
in an old barn one Sunday morning.
It was hard to keep a straight face.
We knew we had the dead kitten in
the barrel and we knew from expert
ence that Nose would turn away in
disgust as soon as he saw it. Some
of us felt as if we were committing
robbery, it was so easy.
"lnere was a mighty quarrel, as
usual. about the referee. We couldn't
agree on anyone. 1t all wound up
by agreeing to accept jenkins. He
objected. He said he didn't know the
rules of the game. We said never
to mind that; any old rules would
do. We had confidence that he would
give us a fair deal even if he was
an interested party and had bet on
Nose. We told him openly that we
were sorry for him, but he said his
confidence in Nose was undiminished

A DIFFICULTY.


There's one fault in human nature; It's
the worst that L have found.
It's what makes this old world wabble so
as It keeps going round.
When a man has toiled and striven ana
accomplished what he could,
We look him over careless and we muir
muir: Purity good"
But when he kind O. stumbles and we tell
him what he lacks,
We reach out for carvin knife, or maybe
take an ak.
OF all our sorrows, this is what upsets our
feelin's most,
We're Iukewarm when we Jolly" but
we're clever when we roast"
We love to grab our fellow man and hold
him in the air
And slam him down promiscuous. That's
what drives away dull care.
The soothing touch of kindness is exceed
ing commonplace;
It's the art Of castigation that reveals
athletic grace.
We most enjoy to tackle one who's made
of rugged stuff
Because he stands up longer ere he yields
and says Enough
Excepting on his tombstone, when he
given up the ghost,
We are lukewarm when we "jolly," but
we're clever when we roast.

Jim held Nose in front of tie barrel
and n deathlike stiffness ruled. The
timekeeper was to give the word
when Jenkins was to pull he string.
"Pull,' cried the timekeeper.
Jenkins pulled, m pushed Nose
toward the barrel, the head came out
ard then with one accord the rs men
fell upon jenkins and began to pound
him and shout in outlaws that could
be heard a quarter of mile. There
never was such a rollicking crew.
Men held their sides to keep from
being hurt with their laughter. No
one paid any attention to Nose or
the barrel jenkins shouts finally
we're heard above the laughter.

be slipped up and down and entirely
removed from the uprights. This IS
done at the beginning of the opera
tons. A tub of butter is turned out
on the criss cross wooden block, pains
being taken to keep it square and
even. Then on one of the corner
posts is temporarily hinged vertical
frame, containing three horizontal
wires tightly stretched one above the
other. BY swinging this frame side
WAYS slowly and steadily the wires
will cut the mass of butter into four
layers. The uppermost is very thin
and don't count. The others are OF
uniform thickness. The first cut is
now detached from the machine, and
the other frame fitted on over the four
posts. This is forced downward stead
ily until the wires have cut to the bot
tom, and then raised again. By turn
ing the wooden block quarter way
round, and repeating the cutting oper-
alton, the butter will be reduced to
blocks of the desired shape. IT Is
claimed that the wires can be adjust
ed so as to vary the weight from half
pound to two pounds. A gauge
shows how to set them. The imper-
feet bricks may be packed in a mold
furnished with the machines, which,
when full, is overturned on the board
and two cuts are made with the frame
to produce 16 more bricks. How far
the well known difference in the dens-
ity of butter would Offset the weight
of the bricks is a nice question.-N.

Never in any previous season have
there been shown handsomer lamps
and shades or globes than during this
first winter of the new century, and
never were such lamps sold at such
moderate prices as now, says the La
dies World, New York.
A beautiful lamp in royal copper
finish, set in a frame of wrought iron
and banded with this refined metal,
has the shape of a classic urn with
two handles, lions heads with rings
held in their open jaws. The shade
for this lamp is ribbed and looks al
most black until the lamp is lighted,
when it sheds a deep, soft crimson
glow of light.
Another beartiful lamp is Of diff
ferent material-a heavy thick opaque
glass in the style known as cameo.
This lamp has the color of the bloom
of the raspberry in its soft finish, and
is also banded with wrought iron and
framed in the same metal. The globe
OF this lamp matches the oody, ana Is
also of cameo glass.
A lovely lamp in apple-green cameo
glass is set in frame and decorated
with bands of n dead-fnished re-
pousse silver. Another applegreen
cameo lamp is finished by bands and
frame of relief work in dead black
iron. Both lamps have globes of APP

Among the birds was Silver Queen.
Upon August Z the birds were hberat-

hotel, Denver, in the presence Of
large gathering of people interested.
The pigeons, when released, re-

from four days later, when a letter,
dated August II, reached the Pitts
burgh club from Henry Homeyer, or
Ziclrick county, South Dakota, say

place that afternoon, just, after the
last of several terrific hailstorms had

Jim that he would be at a certain
saloon at a certain hour with Nose
and ready to meet all corners there
was always a roundup of the sports.
The saloon keeper made money, Jim
made money and got drunk; Nose
always had a fight, which he loved
dearly, and in addition had some
choice bits of food, and the rest of
us had some fun. 1t was the most
natural thing in the world that we
should have town pride in Nose;
we took Jim on sufferance.
"Most first licked an impudent fox
terrier, did it as slick as grease, and
he used only his teeth and claws.
Then one night he tackled the best
known Tom cat scrapper in town.
That cats friends and relatives knew
him no more. Then Nose wa1loped
the best bull terrier in town. Nose
came off a little SCARED after that
battle, but his courage was undimin-
ished. After that we had to get up
fights with animals, dogs from out Of
town.
"Mose never failed us. He had one
quality, however, that we didn't un-
derstand thoroughly, and that was
the undoing of us all. Nose would
never trife with an opponent an IN
slant after the opponent was dead
He never would touch any ANNA
he had killed He would walk away
as if to say: There, l have licked
him; now give him burial We came
to love Nose more for this quality.
'Mose had licked everything we
could find in or near Appleton and
it was suggested that he be tried
on some wild animals. Some sug-
gested a porcupine, but Jim kicked
and said it would be well to try
him first on some easier game. 1t
was about this time that the we'll
known badger trick was being tried
with lots OF fun in the west. You
know about that, of course. y man
from the east would be invited to
see dog lick a badger which was
kept in a barrel A crowd would
meet with much secrecy in secluded
spot.
"Vast sums would be wagered as
to the ability of the fighting dog tc
lick the badger that was in the bar
rel. Finally there would be an aw
full dispute as to the fairness of the
referee selected. Then the stranger
upon whom the trick was beiEe
worked would be selected as refereC
and at a signal would pull the string
to release the badger. He would gen
orally drag out dead kitten or
dead rat when he pulled the string
and then all hands would have
drink at the strangers expense.
"Jim agreed to use Nose one night
in playing the badger game on q
young fellow from the east who hat
come to town and was always talk
ing about the big things he had seer
in the way of fighting. we knew thai
Nose would not tackle anything dead

Proper Method of Milking.

The quantity of milk given often
depends on the mixer and his meth
should be taken in the whole hand
and the milk squeezed out with as lit
tie gliding of the hand down the teat
as possible. "Streak milking" or
drawing the thumb and forefnger
down the teat, is very Objectionable.
1t is disagreeable to the cow and ir-
ritates the skin. A slow, steady
squeeze, which takes all the milk out
of the teat, is much better than a
succession of quick jerks, which
often allow a little milk to slip by
the fingers and return.-Farm Jour-
