Feeding the Dairy Calf.

If the calf is to be a dairy cow, a
mixture of bran, or whole or ground
oats, should be given as soon as it
shows disposition to take it. Some
times it is well to put little in it's
mouth to give it taste of the meal.
Give only as much as it will take, for it
may get dislike to it if left over in
the box. A little early cut, good fla
vored hay should be given as soon as
it will take it. But here again comes
in the Importance of observation as
to the amount needed. A few spears
at first is better than bundle. Give
a calf no more than it will eat, and bv
so doing it. will be taught to be good
and economical feeder. If it gets
more than it wants it will acquire tho
habit Of nosing over its feed ana vast
ing moro than it eats.-Midland

SIMPLE TINT GAUGE
and Dress Goods and for Har-
mOnizinE COlOrs,

How many girls there are, and for
that matter men and boys as we'll, who,
without going actually color-blind,
yet seem to lack the power of judging
whether certain colors blend, or
whether two colors, or combinations
of colors, will harmonic when placed
in juxtaposition. For instance, to an
inexperienced and not specially
trained eye it is no easy matter to say
whether trimming will match ma
terial in which, perhaps, seven or eight
colors are employed in various proper
tions, or what is the dominant color in
another material that consists of
medley of colors. The following lit
tie device, which is only homely adap-
tation of a toy to be purchased at most
places, took my attention at once, as
I recognized in it an aid to supply

BREAKING THE HEIFER.
Many Dairymen Dread This Opera
ton, and in Most Cases Without
Reasonable Cause,

We have broken several Jerseys and
have COWS that apparently never knew
how to kick, writes G. C. lies, in the
Ohio Farmer.
In the first place, the heifer should
be perfectly tame; should never have
known fear of her owner; should be
accustomed to going into the stable.
We prefer the winter time, as she is
accustomed to being: in the stable
then. However, she should be tame
enough to go into it at any time with
out fear and anxiety regarding the
safety of the calf when we are around,
while if we came around her for the
first time after the calf is several
hours old she seems to think we want
to injure the calf, and she is fright
ened; and there are other reasons for
being with her at the time.
We never touch a heifer's udder be-
fore she is fresh. In nearly every case
she will resent it with a kick, and
once started to kicking she may keep
at it. We often read advice to ac-
custom the heifer to having her udder
'AchNASN cS4oA G OC1AlS IL CoA' VIC W.
der if the author of such advice prac-
tees it. It is contrary to nature for
heifer to allow her udder to be med
died with until the time comes for her
to be MIXED. The first time we touch
her udder is when the calf sucks the
first time. It is natural for her to
want to be MIXED then. In a few
hours we separate the calf and heifer
and when we wish to milk her we turn
her with the calf and let the calf suck
while we milk. We milk her in this
way few times, when we separate
them for good. and we seldom have
any trouble afterward.
We are always very careful not to
hurt her in milking. There is great
difference in the way different people
milk. Some squeeze the teats so
roughly and pull downward so hard
that the cow kicks because she is hurt.
Avoid hurting your COW and she will
not kick you. No heifer should be al
lowed to be fresh without having been
fed and prepared for the OCCASION.
This is especially so if she is on dry
feed. Linseed oil meal fed with other
grain feed and clover hay will make
her in good condition for calving

WOMAN WINS DEGREE,
Miss Florence A. Fensham, First
Woman Bachelor of Divinity In
congregational Church.

When Christianity and the Christian
church were given to the world the
promise was: "Your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy." This ideal
of Christian womanhood has been a
long time in evolving. Modern condi-
tions, however, make it increasingly
possible for women to "follow the
CLEAN" where it may lead. The num-
Der who have been led into the min
istry of the church is vet small, but
more and more are the Scriptures be-
ing verified in this respect.
Miss Florence A. Fensham, of Con-
stantinople, Turkey, has achieved the
signal distinction of being the first
woman in the history of the Congrega-
tional church to receive the degree of
bachelor of divinity. This honor has
just been conferred upon her at the

Standards in Cheese Curing.

Every year new standards are being
raised in the curing Of cheese. Every
year also the degree Of temperature
at which cheese may be cured is low
cred by the experts. 1t was not long
ago that the proper temperature for
the curing of cheese was thought to
be somewhere between 60 and 70 de-
grees. In Canada they have been cur
ing cheese at 40 degrees and doing it
successfully. The cheese so cured
were put into this temperature direct
from the hoop. The place in which
they were kept was a cold storag e
house. After four months these cheese
were scored and found to be I'M every
way equal to the cheese stored in a
curing room held at ;5 degrees.

Fighting for Cleanliness.

1t is a little strange to hear of a
milk producer and milk handler be-
ing arrested for dirty methods in con-
necticn with the same. Yet that IS
what is reported from Minnesota. One
OF the patrons of creamery put his
milk into dirty cans and took it to a
creamery. At the creamery the milk
was run through dirty pipes into the
milk tank. The state Inspector had
both the farmer and the buttermaker
arrested and fined SIS each, which fines
were promptly paid. This looks as if

STILL MORE SERIOUS.
Grandpa rents More Undesirable IN
Tenants Than Those Who Were
Only Parents.

Everyone who has tried to hire an
apartment in the city has encountered
the stern question: "Have you any
children?" If one is forced to own to
that blessing, he is too often coldly in
formed that the house is not for him.
One prospective tenant, when the
question was put to him, looked at his
wife, and his wife looked at him. They
seemed to scent a joke in the situation,
relates Youths Companion.
'Yes," said the man, eve have three
children.'
''Then / can't let you have the fiat"
announced the agent.
"But there are extenuating circum-
stances"
"In the real estate and renting bust
ness" said the agent. "there are no ex-
tenuating circumstances in regard to
children. We simply cannot admit
them"
''But our children don't live with u.s."
"Don't live with you?"
"No."
"Rut they come to see you?"
ooh, yes, frequently"
"Worse and worse!" asserted the
agent. *'When children merely come
to visit, they are permitted to tear
things loose. We have discovered by
experience that when parents see their
children only occasionally. they are ten
times as indulgenr. The romping
they'd do in three days visit would
ruin the reputation of the building."
Again the prospective tenants looked
at each other and laughed.
"Our children won't romp," said the
man.
"Chi]dren are all alike" returned the
agent.
'But our children are married!"
"Oho, married! That alters it," And
the agent prepared to go to work on
the lease.
''Yes, married." repeated the man,
"and have children of their own"
The agent dropped his pen.
"Grandparents!" he cried. "Thc
most indulgent creatures on earth!
Your children bring their children with
them, and you have family gatherings,
and all that. What an escape! In an
other minute you'd have had the fat!"

THE CURING OF HAY.
Some Reasons Why the Best Quality
Has Necessarily to Be Made
in the Shade,

Every year there are many ques.
lions about curing hay. Early-cut
grass contains more moisture than
that which stands until dead ripe, and is
harder to cure. Hay is grass with
the water taken out of it. The water
is removed by the wind-a hot breeze
while the sun is shining giving ideal
haymaking conditions. The easiest
way for the water to be taken from
the plant is through the leaves.
When these leaves are dried and
killed first of all there will be con-
siderable water left in the stem. and
this will move out very slowly. When
the leaves are left fresh, they suck on
pump the water rapidly from the
stem, and thus dry it quickly Cut
down two trees in full leaf From
one take every green leaf at once
and let the leaves on the other slow
ly wither and die. You will find the
first tree wet and soggy, while the
other is dry-having been sucked or
pumped by the leaves. These things
explain why the best hay is made in
the shade. The leaves are not with
cred, but keep on pumping water
from the stems and ''sweating" it
out. Glover especially is best cured
in the cock. It's thin, broad leaves
are quickly wilted in the hot sun.
while in the pile they keep at work:
We must remember that some SAM
pies of earlv-cut clover contain over
1000 pounds of water in every ton
and that 1900 pounds of the water
must be taken out in short time!
One reason why the tedder makes
such a useful hay tool is that it
breaks the stem and gives the water
a chance to escape.-Rural New
Yorker.
