Once there was a really radical pa
per, in London it was, but the man
who made it now lives here and tells
the tale. It was one of those papers
which are q tragedy. They represent
the wreck of the enthusiasm Of strong
men who must find the outlet for their
apostolate. This paper began by being
at odds with all that was established,
and it had readers. But as time went
on the man who made the paper drove
off singly and in groups all those who
had begun by being his supporters. It
was found a little too radical for them
and they no longer kept step with it's
newest march.
"Of course | now can see that such a
paper was foredoOmed to failure" the
editor said after he had recited the ear
ly history Of his venture. II confess
it was pretty strong even for British
radicals. After the circulation had
dwindled down to the extremists sue
ceeded in alternating about half Of them
by denouncing social democracy as feu-
dial oppression, and the other half left
me when l attacked atheism on the
score of it's superstitious tendencies.
After that ran the paper as long as /
could without any subscribers. But |
had to give it up. Nobody would read
it except myself, and toward the end l
mad to give up reading it myself. l
found it too unsettling. SO it stopped"

His Accent and His Country.

On one occasion during a visit to
America Michael Gum, who assisted
Gilbert and Sullivan in bringing out
many Of their operas, was trying the
voices Of some candidates for the cho-
rus. One of them sang in a sort of
affected Italian broken English. The
stage manager interrupted. "Look
here" he said. that accent won't do
for sailors or pirates. Give us little
less Mediterranean and little more
Whitechapel."
Here Gum turned and said: "Of
what nationality are you? You don't
sound Italian"
The other suddenly dropped his Ital-
ian accent and in Irish said. 'Shure,
Mr.. Gum, I'm from the same country
as yourself"

SkiInnaiIk Calves,

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 Ole and fed her milk for week
or ten days, then began to mix skim
milk with the new milk until at
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
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.-American CultiVator.

Renovated Butter.

One reason why process, or renOvat-
ed, butter sells so nearly at the price Of
good dairy or creamery butter is that
it is made to resemble what it is not
q freshly made butter. 1t may lack in
good flavor, but it has no bad flavor.
and it is evenly colored. We consider
it as much fraud upon the consumer
as ever oleomargarine was or could be,
but it has made a market for q grade
Of butter that could not be sold before
at much above the price Of axle grease.
Butter that was poorly made, that had
bad favors from unWholesome food or
drink or filthy and careless handling,
or that had become rancid, is worked
over by this process until it is bought
and used by many who would not
touch it if they knew it's condition be-
fore it was enovated.-American Gull

MONEY IN CALVES.
success Largely a Question of Prop
err Methods.


Success in calf raising depends upon
the methods pursued on the farm, says
w. E. Edwards in The American Cul.
tivator. If farmer permits his calf to
is little or no profit in the work. By
the time the calf is weaned then the
dam is dry, and about all the profit she
represents for the whole years keep is
the price received for the calf. It hard
ly pays for the ordinary expenses Of
feeding and sheltering the COW. I'm
less we can make the milk of the dam
pay for the cows cost of keeping it is
more profitable to put the money in
some other line of work.
There is no necessity Of letting the
calf run with the dam beyond a few
DAYS after birth. The creature can
then be weaned and fed on skimmiIk,
with little bran and grain, until ready
for the market. The heavy milk yield
of the dam can be sold for butter or
cream, and the profits obtained in this
might otherwise occur. On the best
dairies this is the common practice,
and the methods differ only in slight
details A dairyman who permits the
calves to run with the dams is hardly
up to date sufficiently to make a sue
cess.
The problem we have before us where
calves are raised for market is to adopt
such methods of feeding as will make
the skimmilk calves almost as heavy
and valuable as the calves that run
with their dams. When we succeed in
this, we can count upon a profit that
has never before been realized in calf
raising. 1t has been done time and
again in recent years, and on some
first class dairies the pure bred calves
for the show rings have been fed en-
tirely on skimmilk.
A calf should be allowed to run with
the mother up to the fourth or fifth
day, at which time the cows milk
should be in excellent condition for
market purposes; then take the calf
away from the mother and keep it off
all food for about one day or night.
BY this time it will be so hungry that
it will take almost anything, and can
be easily taught to drink. It's first
meals should be Of whole milk, fed at
the rate of four pounds in the morning,
four at night and two in the middle
Of the day. The milk should be warm
ed to the natural temDoratUro of the
dams milk. The whole milk diet
should be kept up for about two weeks,
and then gradually should be trans
ferred to a skimmilk diet
This change should be made at the
rate of half q pound Of skimmilk every
two or three days. When the calf is on
skimmilk, the quantity must be in
creased. At first 10 to II pounds day
may satisfy the creature, but in time
this will have to be increased to IS, 20
and a pounds. \ little faxseed Jelly
mixed with the skimmilk at first will
help. AS soon as old enough to take
other food the calf should be fed hay
and possibly a little grain; anything,
in short, to keep it growing rapidly,
so that at the end of six months it
will be as large and heavy as the
calves kept with their dams. A little
care in the feeding will make them
fully as valuable as the mother fed
calves, and all the cream and butter
fats of the COWS will be saved for mar
ket purposes.

This is the story of mean man. He
may not be the meanest on record, but
Ii carries a very fair brand of close
nstedness. He had contract to sup
ply certain amount Of crushed stone.
The machine he used could turn out all
the work he could get by running eight
hours day.
The mean man had an engineer who
was a genius. The genius went to his
employer one day and said he thought
he could make some improvements in
that machine so it would do more work
in less time. The genius was paid by
the month.
He worked on the machine for sever
al days. taking it apart and putting it
together again. When reconstructed,
it proved to have greater efficiency
than before, so much so that it did the
same amount of work in one minute
and a half that it used to take four
and a half to do.
The mean man, however, could get
70 more contracts than before. He
could fill all his orders by running
about three hours a day. The mean
man then went to the genius and said:
''See here, Henry, I've been paying
you by the month, but there isn't as
much work as there used to be-not
enough to keep you busy. l shall have
to pay you by the hour after this"
Henry demurred. He had been too
faithful. but he didn't think that ought
to reduce his earnings over one-half.
His employer was firm. however, and
Henry resigned.-New York Mail and
