The Dairy Creamery.

Now, suppose this is heifer calf de-
scended from good cam and better
sire, and we place it in the hands of the
dairyman who can make out of it all
that nature intended to be. 1t should
never be stunted for moment from
the time it is dropped until it goes into
the dairy. A few hours after 1t is born,
II it cannot stand, gently support and
proceed to give 1t its first milk. Nature
has provided that the first milk taken
from the mother is the best food for 1t,
but we must be the judges of quantity.
A safe way is to take pint of milk
and an equal quantity of water, and
never give this at temperature less
than 50 degrees. To teach the calf to
drink put two fingers into Its mouth in
stead of one. as the milk will flow more
freely between them, and bring to bear
all of your good nature and some of
your Job like patience, and success will
be the result.
The reason why water is added to the
milk is because by high breeding we
have increased the quality of Guernsey
and Jersey milk until 1t is not safe to
feed to the young calf. am of the
opinion that nine-tenths, perhaps all, Of
the cases of calf cholera are caused by
bad management, and not by an cpl
demic, as many say.
+ Some ofthe farmers around home, we
among the number, have lost many
calves from this disease simply from the
lack of knowledge of proper treatment.
feel safe in saying that there will be
no trouble If the milk is not given cool
er than 100 or So degrees and the calf is
not overfed. Like the human family
more harm is caused by overfeeding
than vice versa. Don't let the calf be-
come chilled and the bowels congested
When the cows milk is fit for use the
calf can be fed on skim milk and q small
| portion of cake meal. The fat calf is not
the calf to make the dairy COW, hence
the cakemeal with the skim milk makes
the best food. Four to five pound OF
food daily for the first week is safe
quantity. The second week increase at
the calf can take safely. The bucket
should be thoroughly cleaned after eact
feed, clean enoug for a person to drinh
out of. The calf's compartments should
be well Uttered and we'll ventilated anG
there should be plenty of light and sun
The caretaker should be able to see tn,
condition of the calf readily at any mo.
ment. TO prevent the calf from getting
sore and scabby around the mouth ant
nose, squeeze OF clean the milk off whe1
it is through drinking. e. b. Sharpless

"sHE BURNS GREEN"
Tho Discovery of Bora1 In Death
Valley by Aaron Winters.

The Discovery of Borax In Death
Valley by Aaron Winters.
The greatest discovery of borax in
the United States was made in the ter
ribly hot region known as Death val
ley and in most romantic way. The
Chicago Record tells the story.
In 1850 Aaron Winters lived with his
wife. Rosie, In gulch known Us Ash
Meadows, not far from the mouth Of
Death valley. He was so fond Of
his wife that he would not allow her to
be long absent from him, although
their little hut on the side Of the noun
tain was hundred miles from the
nearest neighbor, In a wild, rugged.
forsaken country.
One day;a desert tramp came along
and spent the night at the Winters
home. He told the hunter about the
borax deposits Of Nevada. When he
went AWAY, Winters thought that he
had seen deposits of the same kind on
his explorations Into Death valley.
Accordingly he and his wife went to-
gether to make the search, having pre-
yiously provided themselves with GER
tain test chemicals, which when COM
bined with bornx and ignited would
produce a green flame.
Having procured piece Of the sub
stance which he believed to be borax,
Winters and his wife waited for night
fall to make the test. How would 1t
burn?
For years they had lived like PIutes
on the desert, entirely without luxuries
and often wanting for the very necessi.
ties of life. Would the match change
all that?
Winters held the blaze to the sub
stance with a trembling hand. then
shouted at the top Of his voice: "She
burns green, Rosie! We're rich! We're
rich!
They had found borax. The mine
was sold for $4,000, and Winters tool
his Rosie to n ranch In Nevada.

a STORY OF TWO FLAGS.

How . Mans Life Was Saved at the
Very Last Moment.
The following stirring incident of the
two flags happened at Valparaiso,
Chile. and was related at Montreal In
1881 by the Rev. DR.. ]. o. Peck. DR..
Peck said:
"The man who gave me the facts
am about to relate was Mr.. Hasklns,
an American sailor who had sailed to
a port In Chile. On going ashore. he
said. to enjoy his day of liberty he
drank little and became hilarious.
One of the police officers, instead Of
warming him not to make a noise in
the street, drew his sword and, strik-
ing him n blow. knocked him down.
On that the American sailor got up
and knocked the policeman down in
return. He was on that arrested and
tried and condemned to be shot In the
morning of tho following day.
Mr.. Loring, the American consul, ex-
postulated with the authorities that it
would be monstrous to shoot the man
for such IN offense. but they paid no
attention to him. SO he thereupon made
formal protest In the name Of the
United States government against the
barbarous act. Mr.. Haskins. the sail
or, was in the morning brought out
pinioned to be shot
''As the English consul was prepar-
Ing to hoist the union Jack he saw the
crowd in the field opposite, where the
execution of the American sailor, OF
which he had heard, was to take place.
RIshing over the American consul. he
said. 'Loring. you're not going to let
them shoot that mani

at once. taking his own union jack in
his hand, he hastened across the field,
elbowed his way through the crowd
and soldlery, and. running up to the
doomed man. he folded the American
flag around him and then laid the un-
Ion jack over 1t. Standing few PAGES
back, he faced the officers and soldiers
and shouted defiantly, Now, shoot, If
you dare. through the heart of Eng
land and America"
"And they dared not do 1t, for they
feared the consequences, so the man
was at once released. In telling me-"
said DIR. Peck, "Mr. Haskins said to

checks even then, They loosed me

Care of Brood sows.

First of all the brood SOW needs
plenty OF exercise in the pure air and
sunlight. This costs the farmer MOTH
Ing and is of the utmost importance in
keeping the SOW healthy and vigorous.
If the sows are given warm sleeping
quarters they are apt to make the most
of 1t If they have nothing to induce
them to take exercise. If they are al
lowed to do this they are apt to give
US no end of trouble at farrowing time.
The pigs come weak and sickly, and If
the farmer succeeds in pulling them
through they are only an excuse for q
healthy pig.
To avoid this give the brood sows
the barn yard to run in. They will
work for hours roofing over the manure
when otherwise they would be lying
idle in their nests. This not only does
the SOW good, but has very beneficial
effect on the manure as we'll. They
also get considerable amount of feed
that would otherwise be lost.
After the breeding season is over, the
brood SOW should have very little corn
only In cold weather. Her feed should be
very largely of that kind that will pro-
mote bone, muscle and nerve growth.
This can hest be supplied on the farm
by using bright clover hay, oats and
wheat bran. The oats should be thinly
scattered over the smooth ground or
what is still better tight feeding
floor. The amount of corn fed should
vary with the weather; more when the
weather is very cold. Nature demands
that the SOW be fed literally, but not on
food that will fatten her.
1t Is q dangerous practice to let
horses and colts run with the brood
sows. The cattle will do no harm II
they are dehorned. She should be pro-
vided with good warm sleeping quar-
tiers where she is not crowded. While
she needs her daily exercise she also
needs her rest at night.
Still another matter should be looked
after and that is that she should not be
compelled to crowd through narrow
gates and jump over bars or crawl
through broken fences if you are de-
pending on her to raise you good lit

There have been judges who have
been the tools of rings of lawyers who
elected them, and there have been judges
who were owned and used by rings of
corrupt politicians. Possibly some of
these judicial infamies are still on duty.

Ing aversion to politics on the bench
