How to Train a Calf

Some of our advanced dairymen differ greatly in their opinions on how to manage the calf immediately after birth. One man says: T pre- fer to take the calf away as soon as born rather than be troubled caring for sore tits of the COW. Use for metal pail. milking for large calf three quarts, for a small calf about two quarts of milk. Then, after gently caressing the calf. stroke the neck or back with the hand, or talking kindly to it, place the milk under its nose and the fingers touching the lips, but not in the mouth; soon it will begin to try to get hold of your fin gers; then gently push it's nose down into the milk, and in it's efforts to get hold of your finger it will get taste of the milk. and is very apt to drink. A little patience and kindness will meet with success. After it has been taught to drink you will find it much better to always place it in a stan ohion at feeding time and let it re- T1ain there short time after it gets through eating, so that it will not form thC Ol JULIET CdlNOo ears. Some others prefer to let the calves remain with their mothers un- til they are three or four days old. Probably the latter has more follow ors than the former. It is evident that either proceeding gives good re. suits and may be adopted without det- riment to the future welfare of the cows.-Coleman' Rural World.

How to Fatten Poultry

The Canadian commissioner of agri- culture has issue bulletin entitled Pointers for Poultry Fattening," which contains much practical infor- nation for those engaged in fattening poultry for market. It says:
 Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, Dor king, Cochin or Brahma chickens are riore easily fattened than chickens of lighter breeds. English buyers object to black-legged poultry.
 "The most profitable period for fat tening is about four weeks.
 Be careful not to overfeed chick ems during the first week. Feed lightly three times day. Keep the troughs clean and sweet.
 After the first week give chickens all they will eat regularly twice a day. Remove any feed left in the trough half an hour after feeding.
 "The oats must be ground very fine. Oats ground as for horse feed are not suitable.
 Feeding skim milk whitens the flesh, which is desirable.
 Put a little salt in the feed.
 "Give water in the trough twice a day.
 Give some form of grit twice a week. Sifted gravel will do.
 Feed tallow during the last ten days. Begin with one pound per day 10 seventy or 100 chickens; increase to one pound to fifty to seventy chick ems.
 "To prepare tallow: Weigh quan- tity required for three days; melt it and thicken while hot with ground oats. Mix one-sixth of this paste with the evening feed.
 Rub pinch of sulphur under both the wings and tails of the chickens 10 kill the lice.
 Do not feed with the cramming machine longer than two weeks.
 'Do not feed fowl by machine un- til it's crop is quite empty"

Horace Greedy Foresaw Irrigation

More than thirty years ago Horace Greedy said: Irrigation, everywhere practicable, is destined to be generally adopted and to prove signally profit able. I do not mean that every acre this (the eastern) side of the Missouri River will ever thus be supplied with water, but that some acres of every township and nearly every farm should and will be. The plains of the West will in time give lessons that even the well watered and yer duous East may read with profit Such level and thirsty clays as largely bor- der Lake Champlain, for example, traversed by streams from mountain ranges on either hand, will not always be owned and cultivated by men in- sensible to the profit of irrigation. Nor rich valleys as those of the Con- necticut, the Kentucky and Susque- hanna be left to suffer year after year from drought while the water which should refresh them runs idly and uselessly by. Agriculture repels inno- vation and loves the beaten track, but such lessons as New England has re- ceived in the great drought of 1870 will not always be given and endured iE vain."

Seeds Grew Alter Centuries

Just how long seeds will live is a question that is attracting much at tention among the scientists, garden CTS and horticulturalists of Europe at this time. The discussion was started by the publication of a story that a handful of peas found in a sarcopha- gus of the Pharaos. who died 5000 pears ago, had been planted and had grown. The vine of these peas grew to height of six feet; the blossoms instead of being white, were red with narrow yellow border. The pods were little longer than the pea at present raised and the peas were a little larger and sweeter to the taste.
 Hundreds of well authenticated stor- ies have been published of seeds that had lain dormant for years, and when, by accident, the proper conditions for their growth had been brought about, had sprung into life.

MT. B. planted 16,0O0 strawberry plants. He did not use any fertilizer, and his profits for the season from the said plants did not reach $50.
 MT. C., B.'s neighbor, planted 4OOO plants of the same variety, using bone- meal fertilizer. His crop of berries was twice the quantity of B.'s crop, and he (Mr. O. sold also $45 worth of plants.

To Utilize Poor Land

The Redlands Citrograph contains this practical and valuable suggestion by George P. Hall, of San Diego:
 Has everybody forgotten that there is no land so poor or broken you cannot cover with forest trees? What would Southern California be today if for thirty years past ranches had planted the waste places to trees? Trees that will grow, like the sugar gum, accacia, grevilla, mulberry and several others which take care of themselves when once established. If only half an acre year was planted the value of the ranch would be pro- portionately advanced. Even a tooth pick must have point to it, and if the poorest land can be made valu- able it makes the best better"

Salt Lake Calls for Another Million

The projectors of the Salt Lake rail way have arranged to spend another million dollars in addition to the S5,O0O,OOO spent during the last two years. The larger sum has been put into fifty acres of depot property in this city, 10000 tons of steel rails, 1,000,00O ties, forty miles of right of way and new equipment in the sum of s450,00O. The additional million that has just been called for by the direc- tore will be spent for construction and equipment between Pomona and Redlands. The managers of the road say they are confident that train serv- ice between Los Angeles and Redlands will be be in operation by July.

Million Dollar Federal Building

Representative McLachlan has had a conference with the supervising ar chitect and Assistant Secretary Fay Tor of the treasury department at Washington, and has concluded, as a result, to introduce bill appropriat- ing $750,O0O or $1,OO0,O0O additional for the public building at Los Angeles. The former plan to build a cheap ad- dition to the present structure is not advocated even by the treasury off cials. With the increased cost of build ing materials, more money would have to be appropriated. and the secretary agrees with MT. McLachlan that the government should have suitable building at cost to exceed $1,0OO,- 900, and will recommend to Congress.

The Santa Fe machinists and boil 'ermakers to the number of one hun dred and fifty went out on strike at Needles, New Years day. As a re- suit the shops were silent until noon of the next day, when the men went back to work.

An order was issued that they were to work ten hours on Saturday, the same as other days the order to take effect January 1. The matter was satis- factory adjusted and the employees went back to work under the old schedule.
