Berlin, Aug. 6.-The Freisinnige
Zeitung, recalls the heroic bear
ing of the Empress Frederick during
her husbands last days, when she 81
lently endured the heartless illusions
of the Chauvinistic German press"
This journal also praises her "digni-
fed self effacement" since the death
of Frederick the Noble.
The papers assert that the dOWager
empress long ago adopted her hus
bands motto, Learn to suffer with

Professor =, L. Hacker of Mime
sofa, writing of calf feeding, says: My
system of feeding is very uniform.
When the calf is dropped, I let it suck
If it is removed in the morning, I give
it no feed until the following morning.
This is done so the calf will be hungry
and will drink the milk without the
finger. I give from three to four pints
of it's mothers milk twice a day, imme-
diately after milking the dam. A small
four pints. This L continue for about a
week. Then for a week give it whole
milk half and skimmilk half twice a
day, giving it only from three to four
pints. The third week / feed all sep
arator skimmilk, but put in the milk
teaspoonful of ground flax. I grad
ually increase the skimmilk and flax
meal SO that by the end of the fourth
month it is receiving heaping table
spoonful of flax meal and ten pints of
milk twice day. After the first
month it has access to little early cut
hay and a little whole oats or a mix
ture of whole oats and bran or shorts.
Changing Strains.
It is the universal opinion of all
breeders and dairymen who have given
the subject any attention that it is not
a desirable thing, as rule, to change
from one strain to another, says
Hoard's Dairyman. If a man is breed
ing in Holstein lines, let him continue
in that direction unless for reasons sat
isfactory to himself he wants to make
a thorough and complete change. If
he is breeding Jerseys or Guernseys or
Ayrshires, the same rule applies. But
too much dependence should not be
placed upon names. If he is grading
up with Jerseys, he should do little
something more than get registered
Jersey sire. He should make assur-
ance positive that he is getting a thor
oughly good animal-better than any
thing he has ever had in his herd pre-
viously And the same rule applies
with any other breed.
Improving the Dairy Herd.
By feeding up the herd until they are
doing their best and then wedding out
the Improbable COWS, breeding to the
best dairy strains and properly control
ling the sanitary conditions and using
good supply of kindness the dairyman
may expect to have an ideal herd in the
course of a few years.

A BOer View of Us,

The Hague, Aug. 6.-President
Krugers decision not to visit America
was largely due to letters received
from the Van Broekhulzen brothers,

In these letters they say that their
observations have convinced them
that the only persons in America who
really are interested in Boer success
are the descendants of the Dutch peO-
pie who have settled here They also
claim that the Americans place money
above humanity.

profitable. The navy department,
however, says that this last CORES

him to sit down. On being questioned
James said he felt no i'll effects from
the dose, other than i slight tickling
sensation in this thoraX. He assured
the lieutenant that he was not copper
