Pure Bred Calves

Eufo Bred CalVoB.
Discussing the subject of calf raising
at the recent session of the Ohio Dairy
mems association, Z. S. McClelland,
dealing with the calf from the stand
point of q cheese factory patron, accord
ing to The National Stockmsn, said
that he prefers spring calves and II they
are not strong and all right thinks the
owner would make money by giving
them away rather than by trying to
raise them. The dam and calf should
be kept quiet for awhile after birth.
Keep the calf on cow for two weeks,
meantime teaching 1t to eat little
grain. At2weeks substitute whey for
part of ration and gradually increase
until at 4 weeks leave off milk.
Too many dsirymen think that q
dairy COW must be starved as a,calf
He had seen some that looked ss II
they had been raised on fresh air and
Gods love.
In the discussion following Mr.. Rice
stated that most of the calves raised on
whey by his patrons, were Shorthorns
which ultimately went to feeders, who
now prefer whey raised calves Pas.

fashioned article. They feed shorts
and little oilmeal in connection with
whey. Some use oats nnground. He
likes rye meal better than anything he
has tried; finds the calves eager for
pasteurized whey, whereas had to force
them to eat unpasteaurized; heats to
l55 or l60 degrees and doesn't cool it.
John Fippin of Galloway discussed
the same subject from the standpoint
of milk producer. Most milk sellers
think 1t too expensive to raise calves.
he thinks they are right If the calves
are not sired by good dairy bred bull.
Give away the weaklings-raise good
ones or none. Give good shelter and
lot to run In. He prefers to have them
come January l to March i; then they
go to grass in good shape. Leave cow
and calf together till milk becomes
good, four or five days, then put COW in
stall and calf in crate and set behind
her roomy crate wherein the calf can
lie down.

 Elk meat brings S1 per pound in the hlondlEe mining camps, and there are three or four deerslayers in that ter ritory who are cleaning up the tidy sum of $1.o00 a month above thei: living exp 5es. M. I. A. Kicker O.

PIPES OF PEACE.

%hoss Ma de of Biood-Red Stone MSst
 I1steemea by Indians.
 Nearly every Indian tribe has some Interesting legend connected with the blood-red stone of the Pipestone quar- ries of Minnesota. One tale is that long ago two fierce bands of Winnebagoes and Sioux, the bravest of their respee- tive tribes, met in conflict here. They fought all day. from early morn untif set of sum- until the chieftain of one band was slain. Some of the warriors escaped, and some were made captives. Among the captives was the chieftains daughter. Being very brave and fair. she was chosen by one chief as his share of the spells. Refusing, how ever, to become his bride, she was doomed to the stake. In dying she predicted that the Great Spirit would throw her blood upon the suns rays to her people far away, and that the stone under her feet would be forever tinted with her blood. Catlin, the famed ex- plorer of Indian country was the first white man to visit this locality. At. VI oSlCh OJ IhS iildldH tSiiSS IGid heard in the summer of 1886, in com pany with a young English gentleman and hfs trusty Indian guide, he started on horseback from St. Anthony's Fails to explore the region. It appears that the Indian tribes have long held the place in superstitious estimation, and also that it has been the resort of dfs ferent tribes, who have made their regular pilgrimage there to renew their pipes. It is also evident that these people set an extraordinary value on the red stone, Independent of the fact that it is more easily carved and makes better pipes than any other stone. Whenever an Indian presents pipe Of it, he gives it as something from the Great Spirit, and some of the tribes have tradi ion that the red men were all created from the red stone and that 1t is thereby a part of their flesh Such WAS the superstition of the Sioux on this subject that we had great diff dculty in approaching it, being stopped by several hundred of them, who or dered us back and threatened lls very hard, saying that no white man had ever seep it and that none should,

NEW SOURCE OF GuTTApEacHA
A German Says the Trees That Prodnor
 It VIII Grow ip the Philippines

In a monograph, just published in 3efmany, it is shown that the Philip pines are among the few places on earth ill which the trees svom which guttapercha is procured will flourish h9 value of this statement is not to 6e andeffated for two reasons: One is that guttapercha is an indispensable material for the making of submarine cables and golf balls, the other is that fhe trees in Sumatra and Borneo, from WhicE the chief supply has hi erto been drawn are almost entirely ex- hausted. The cause oe this exhaus- tion lies in the primitive and destruc. tive methods which were formerly em- ployed for gathering this valuable commodity. Tie natives who never have any thought for the morrow have ruthlesely cut down whole forests of trees, so that they might scrape the guttapercha, which is nothing but the sap from inside the bark. This whole sale destruction carried or. for years has greatly diminished the annual crop, but the discovery that these trees grow and can be successfully culti Yated in the Philippines offers hope that a new mine of wealth has been found fol American enterprise as soon as the islands are pacifed. While the chief use of guttapercha is, of course for the isolating covering of electric wires, a large quantity is used for the manufacture of golt balls. for which no other material seems 70 vell adapt. ed. It's hardness after having been submitted to the proper pressure, and it's tOughness make it the only golf ball material yet discovered. The amount of cable laid since 1856 is some 41.853 knots, representing cost for he rabies alone of millions of pounds sterling, and as the prospects are that during the next fifty years many more cables will be required and laid, the demand for guttapereha is almost un- limited. The wealth which gutta- percha in the Philippines holds ont to American enterprise is In proos rtion Q this demand
