cALF-FEED1NG TESTS.
station for the Benefit Of
Western Cattlemen.

A report of the Kansas experiment
station says: Feeders find that the
average skim milk calf does not make
profitable gains in the feed lot and
will not buy him. Farmers find that
the difference in price between an or
binary skim milk calf and one that
has run with the COW is frequently
greater than the profits made from
milking, and they drop dairy work.
The Kansas experiment station re-
Gently fattened 100 head of calves for
baby beef. These were divided into
nine lots-one lot Of ten had been
raised by hand with skim milk, and
another lot of ten had run with their
dams in small pastures until wean'
ing. Both lots were put in fattening
yards at weaving and We're fed for
seven months on alfalfa hay and corn.
The results are as follows:
Calves raised with dam gained 435
pounds per head; amount of corn re-
quired to make 100 pounds gain, AIS;
amount of alfalfa required to make
100 pounds gain, 472.
Skim milk calves gained 44O pounds;
amount of corn required to make 100
pounds gain, 4a9; amount of alfalfa
required for 100 pounds gain, 436
pounds.
The skim milk calves were fed I'm.
til weaving on sterilized skim milk,
with grain ration composed of equal
parts of corn and Kaffir corn, with all
the alfalfa hay they would eat. They
were fed in this way % weeks and
made an average daily gain of one and
a half pounds per calf. The feed to
raise these calves to weaving cost $5.27
per head. As the results show, they
were in good condition for feeding
when weaned and the experime Mt
shows strongly the good feeding quail
tiles of the skim milk calf and the
profits that can be made from it, when
the calf is properly handled from brit
to weaving and then pushed for bab by

bought without regard to their value
for the dairy. produced in year, at
creamery prices, milk worth $37.75
per COW. The skim milk calves which
were fattened in this experiment were
of mixed breeding and were selected
without regard to their value for he

an average Of $40 each when market ed

Govt of Milk Production.

Prof. Hacker, of the Minnesota
station, has been at work for sew
eral years studying the cost of pro-
ducing pound of butter fat. He re-
Gently summarized his work as fol-
lows, for three years: The first year
100 pounds of milk cost 60 cents, and
the yield of the herd averaged 5000
pounds of milk. or $50 pounds of but
ter fat. The second year the cost
was about the same, 81 cents per 100
pounds of milk; but in the third
year it was reduced to 80 cents per
100 pounds; with the same cows, and
prices of feed stuffs the same. The
only difference was that they had
calculated the percentage of protein,
and selected the foodstuff where this
was sold cheapest. He did not care
for carbohydrates, fats, etc. as pro-
tein is the only essential part to
look after. The cows require, on an
average, two pounds of protein per
day.

SKILL IN MILKING.
One Who Docs Not Possess 1t sh ould
Not lie Allowed to Handle
Dairy Cows.

Milking is an operation which re-
quires skill, as it has an important
effect on the amount and quality OF
milk given. Dairymen know that
there are as great differences be-
tween mixers as between cows, and
that cows will do much better with
some mixers than with others. In
deed, good cows are often almost rue
ined by poor mixers.
The mixer should avoid handling
the COW more than is necessary, and
he should make it rule to do his
work quickly and thoroughly. He
should never go from sick to a
well COW without first cleansing his
hands. The habit of wetting the
hands with milk is filthy in the ex:
IRENE and should never be practiced.
Some people think it is necessary,
but this is mistake. The hands
should be kept dry. If they are not,
it is impossible to prevent drops of
milk from constantly falling from
them into the pail, says Farm, Field
and Stockman.
The pail should be held close to
the udder, so as to expose the milk
to the air as little as possible. The
farther the streams fall and the
more they spray, the more dirt and
bacteria they collect. Contamination
from the foremilk must be avoided.
by discarding the first few streams
drawn, or less than a gill in all. This
entails little loss, as the first milk
drawn is always poor in butter fat,
and if it happens to be badly con-
taminated, as is frequently the case,
much injury and trouble may be
saved.

KeepinR the MIX Sweet.

If the milk is to be delivered in
good condition to the consumer dur
ing the summer months, it must be
thoroughly cooled and aerated and
kept cool, says Hoard's Dairyman
These steps are absolutely necessary
with all milks during the hot wealth
er. A great improvement can also
be made by looking carefully after
the cleanliness of cows, stables and
milk utensils, as there is great diff
ference in the keeping quality of
clean and dirty milks. The whole
question of keeping milk sweet is in
providing clean article, kept cooled
and we'll aerated. Preservatives
should not be used under any condi-
ton.

Horse Meat in Vienna.

The price of horse meat ranges, per
pound of fore quarter, from S to 8
cents; hind quarter, 6 to 9 cents;
choice cuts for steak and roast, from
5 to II cents; the same cuts in beef
averaging from 20 to "A cents a
pound. The horse meat is also work ed
up into sausages, and as such sells at
corresponding low prices. The
horse-meat butcher shops, of which
there are now no less than 1856 in this
city, present a clean and attractive APP
pearance, and are in no way distin-
guishable from the shops where the
usual kinds of meat are sold, save by
the sign announcing their specially.
Restaurant keepers who serve horse
meat must designate this fact in spe-
cial column on the bill of fare offered
to patrons.-Vienna Letter.

SOFT, GLOSSY HAIR.

Any man or woman who wants soft
glossy hair must be free of dandruff, which
causes falling hair. Since it has become
known that dandruf is germ disease, the
irritants, have been abandoned, and the
publi,, BARRIERS and doctors included, have
taken to using Newbro's Herpicide, the only
hair preparation that kills the dandruff
germ. E. Dodd, Dickinson, N. D., says:
''Herpicide not only cleanses the scalp from
dandruff and prevents the hairs falling out,
but promotes a new growth. Herpicide
keeps my hair very glossy"

PLUMS FOR MARKET.
There Are Hundreds of Varieties. but
Only a Few Are Adapted for
General Cultivation.

The number of known species of
plums runs up into the hundreds, but
among those hundreds there are only
few that it will pay to do much
with. But it requires a great deal of
experimentation to find out the best
that is in each species. Each species
in turn is made to produce innumer-
able varieties, which may be in turn
crossed with the seedlings of other
species. If all the new varieties were
named we would soon have chaos in
the nomenclature. In addition the
number of varieties would become so
great that the longest life would not
suffice to become acquainted with
them. 1t is, therefore, fortunate that
cutting out of varieties is continually
going on. Recently in walking
through block of 500 seeding plum
trees with Prof. Golf, of the Wiscon-
sin experiment station, he made the
remark that of those 500 trees, all
fruiting and bearing fairly good
plums, not more than dozen trees
would be saved. The rest were to 90
onto the brush heap. He says we have
too many varieties now, and that
most of the varieties men are at
tempting to grow should be discard
ed. This phase of the subject is of
interest to the plum student and is
an encouragement, for it justifies the
course of passing lightly over most
of the varieties or forgetting them
altogether and fixing the attention
on the few varieties that have been
proven to be good. For all practical
purposes, therefore, it is possible for
a man to become a plum expert with
out devoting an entire life to the
study.-Farmers' Review.

to Rescue from Mexicans.
There has Just died near San
Antonio, This county, lnez walk
ar for whose rescue from a
Maxican plantation several lives
of General 10 Shelby's Con-
federate command were sacrificed on
the memorable trip OF Shelby's 500
men from the American border to the
City of Mexico to offer their services
10 Macmillan, says a recent dispatch
from st. Joseph, No., to the inter
Ocean. Inez was the daughter OF an
American miner and had been kid
named while in her teens by Rideriguez,
n Mexican planter, who held her a
close prisoner. Shelby was ten days
march from the City Of Mexico when
Jim Wood, one of the command, cap
tured a sheepherder, who told him the
story of Inez. Wood determined 10
rescue the girl, and enlisted the coop
Grafton Of a dozen men. ABOUT MID
night. heavily armed, the rescuers stole
out of camp and quietly made their
way to the planters house. Rideriguez,
anticipating that an attack would be
made on his hacienda. had summoned
q number Of Mexicans to his assist
ance. The Americans at once opened
the fight. With a large beam they pat
tered down the gate Of an immense
corral. inside of which a large number
of Mexicans lay In wait for them.
Both sides opened fire simultaneously,
each Missourian being armed with a
brace of dragon pistols. The noise OF
the combat aroused Shelby's camp and
the Americans came rushing to the
scene. General Shelby himself took
command and ordered the hacienda
surrounded. The men inside the corral
fought like tigers. Five were slain on
the first assault. The Mexicans were
finally driven to take refuge In the
hacienda, which had a high tower. The
hacienda was finally taken by assault
and Inez rescued. When the dead had
been buried and the wounded cared
for the column took up its march for
the City of Mexico, Inez accompanying
the command. The refusal Of Emperor
Macmillan to accept the services Of
the Americans is a matter of history.
The command disbanded and the men
made their way back to the states in
small parties, Inez returning with one
squad, prematurely aged from her SUI
ferings as a captive. She lived In the
neighborhood of San Antonio until her
death.

Basutoland, being broken and noun
famous, was until recently the resort
of lions, leopards and other wild ami
mails. Now. however. the hillsides
which were once the resort of these
savage creatures are the pasture
grounds of tent of thousands OF cat
tie. Nearly all dangerous animals have
been driven away from Basutoland,
but not long & a leopard appeared
on the outskirts of a village. The ami
NAL soon became as badly frightened
as the villagers. and sought safety In
flight. The next morning the inhab-
itants turned out for a hunt. One of
when he suddenly found himself face
to face with the leopard, whose re-
treat was cut of by the rock itself.
Neither the man nor the animal could
escape the encounter. The dilemma
was an awkward one. for the climber
was unarmed. Recognizing his dam
ger. he put forth his hands and in
desperation caught hold OF the leopard
on each side of Its jaw. holding 1t at
arms length and calling for help. The
leopard clawed and tore his captor.
but the man held on till help arrived
and the beast was speared. Now came
a question OF law. BY Basuto law, the
skin belonged to the chief. who must
reward one of three claimants-either
the man who speared the leopard, or
the mar who held 1t 10 that ii was
possible to spear II. or the man who.
being warned by the barking OF his
dog, first discovered the animal in the
village. The Basuto Solomon decided
the case as follows: The man who
speared II could not have done so but
for the man who held 1t. and the man
who held 1t could not have known OF
It's existence II the dog had not first
warned the village: therefore the
credit for the killing belonged to the
dog. whose owner was entitled to the
reward.
