and this quantity is gradually in. creased up to about six quarts. The largest meals should be given at night and morning, and half as much at noon. The milk should be as near the temperature of the milk from the COW as possible. All calf milk should be fed warm and sweet. Later on sour milk can be fed but it must be fed sour all the time. To change from sweet to sour will cause trouble. When to or three weeks old skim milk can take the place of the sweet full-cream milk, but the change should be made gradual. This is necessary because the quantity must be increased. It takes nearly twice as much skim milk to produce pound of flesh or fat. When the change is complete, the calves can be fed nearly all the skim milk they will eat, but little meal and ground grain can be added about this time to give them more strength and growth. At first put little moistened meal in their mouths after drinking, and they will soon aquire taste for grain. Within week they will learn to take the meal themselves from the pail.-Cultivator.

Spraying Apple Trees

There is growing tendency among apple growers to depend too much upon the professional sprayer. Even where the contractor for this kind of work is thoroughly honest and reliable, it often happens that he cannot get around to all orchards in time to do sufficient work. To be effective, spray ing should be done at the right time, especially is this so in combating the codling moth and fungi, difference of few days in making the first appli
 cation tor these pests may destroy the value of the operation. A first-class spraying outfit may now be bought very cheaply and in orchards of over one hundred trees will generally pay
 for itself the first season; the simpler it is in construction the better, as elaborate affairs don't take kindly to lime, sulphur and salt or Bordeaux mixture, and again, later in the season the grower will have more time to do his own work, and perhaps experi- ment little and will be much more likely to do it if he has a machine of his own, than he would if he had to hunt up professional sprayer. The operation itself, while calling for the exercise of care and skill, is not be- yond the ability of the man who can

The Cow to Keep

Statistics tell us that the average COW produces only 130 pounds of but ter in year, and that to yield profit to her owner she must produce not less than 190 pounds. By this we must believe that the average COW not only fails to pay her board, but is kept at considerable loss to her owner. Why is this so? The answer is plain; with too many dairy farmers COW is a COW. Scrub stock with no particular breeding is responsible for this state of affairs. The crossing of one breed with another and the progeny passing from one owner to another and being bred to anything and everything until their identity is lost is prime cause. It is this kind of stock that is kept on more than 75 per cent of the farms of Maine.
 Do not make the mistake of crossing one breed with another with the ex pectation of getting something that will bring profitable returns in both meat and butter. Select the branch of the business for which you have the greatest liking and for which your location is best adapted, and breed only thoroughbreds of the highest type for your particular purpose. Much of your stock may then be sold for breed- ing purposes at about double the price of grades. If you keep grades, always make it point to breed to thorough bred sire of good ancestry, that a higher standard may be reached.- o. NJ. Richardson in Farm and Home

Skim-milk Calves

Skim-milk calves can be raised at a greater profit than nine-tenths of the farmers imagine, but most of them are not so raised. It is not difference between methods. Fine skim-milk calves months old frequently bring from $15 to $20 per head, and at that rate they are very profitable if the cost of raising them has been kept within reasonable limit.
 There is some risk in the work until one has become expert in it. Then it is simple and sure. The calf must be taken from the mother early. Some do it when it is a few hours old, and it is fed by hand without know ing anything about sucking Five quarts a day divided into three meals should be all that that calf should be fed at first,

SPANISH WAR PENSIONS
Short Term Certificates to Be Issued to
 Veterans

The interior department, in deci- sion just announced on appeal from the action of the commissioner of pensions, decided hereafter to issue what are known as short-term certif- cates to veterans of the Spanish-Ameri- can war having pensionable disabili- ties. These certificates have been issued to veterans under the general laws, cov- ering designated period and ceasing with the disappearance of the pension able disability, but heretofore have not been extended to veterans of the last war. The decision will probably re- suit in the filing of large number of claims from this class of veterans.

Citrus Fruits in the East

Last week opened in New York with the sale of thirty-two cars of oranges, but offerings being very much lighter the balance of the period, the total sales were but ninety-seven cars, as com pared with 124 cars of oranges the pre- ceeding week ,and 164 cars of oranges and eight cars of lemons the corresponding period of last season. Al varieties show ed great frmness and most of the fruit being in good order, results were very satisfactory, fancy 9-size navels selling at $4.00 to $4.30. Medium sizes rang ed from $3.50 to $4. The importance of icing at this time was evidenced by the poor condition of some fruit arriv- ing under ventilation. Well-colored bloods are in good demand, selling Friday at $3.50 to $3.S5 for 176s to 2O0s. Prospects are favorable for a continuance of present prices another week. The supply of oranges left in California at this time is very much lighter than anticipated, and Washing ton navels are nearly all gone.
 Weather conditions have not been favorable for the fruit business in Pittsburg. The California orange situ- ation continues to be one of absorbing interest. There is quite a wide dis parity between fob. quotations in California and auction prices through out the East.
 Receipts of California oranges were considerably lighter in Philade- phia last week, only thirty-four cars having been sold, as compared with forty-nine cars for the previous week.
 Sixty-four cars of oranges were sold at Boston last week. The market has been strong on navels, Mediterranean sweets and seedlings. Boods have sold little lower on account of heavy offerings.
 During last week the Chicago market took navel fruit at exceptionally high prices, and the Sunfower brand has been sold at the highest prices prevail ing on this market as yet. The condi- tion of the fruit on arriving has been uniformly good.

NOTABLE ENGINEERING PROJECT
One of the Largest Reservoir Sites in
 the West

One of the largest reservoir sites in the west is under the examination of the United States geological survey. The dam site is situated in a narrow gorge, just below the junction of Salt river and Tonto creek, Arizona. The capacity of the proposed reservoir. with dam 200 feet in elevation above the bed of the river, is nearly 1000, ,0O0 acre feet. or more than that of the great reservoir now in construction on the Nile, or than any other artificial reservoir in the world
 One of the serious obstales met in planning for the construction of this great reservoir was the difficulty in securing hydraulic cement at cost low enough to make the project tinan- cially practical. About 150, 1000 barrels of cement will be needed, which, owing to the isolated location of the site and the long overland haul, would reach the almost prohibitive rate of $9 per barrel. Fortunately materials were found at hand suitable for manu- featuring high grade cement, which will save nearly million dollars in the cost of construction. Water power will be developed on the spot, if the dam is authorized, to do the heavy work of the building.
 The proposed projet will bring under irrigation nearly 200, 1000 acres of desert lands, besides furnishing reliable supply of water to large area now irrigated by the precarious flow of the streams in their natural state.

Of Paramount Interest - How Not To Do It - Skim-Milk Calves - The Cow To Keep - Practical Points for Poultrymen - Spraying Apple Trees

Color and shape are important, be- cause uniformity is valuable when it comes to selling poultry, but weight and egg production are more profitable.
 The horticultural commission got this tip from Inspector Frederick $. Maskew of Long Beach regarding the way to kill the woolly aphis, which is particularly active and destructive enemy of the apple: To kill the woollv aphis among the roots of a tree scrape away a cavity around the trunk and pour in cupful of emulsion. Cover it up and the obituary of the W. A. can be inserted in the papers the following day without fear of having made mistake.

How Not to Do It

Nearly every colt, when first driven away from home, will shy and scare more or less at objects along the road side. After he has been driven a few times the common practice is to strike him with the whip every time he does this. It is provoking to feed a horse hay three times day and then see him scare at little pile of hay on the road. The first thing that comes into the mind is to give him cut with the whip.
 Nothing worse than this could be done. The next time he will not only be afraid of the object, but of the whip also, and by little training in this way he will soon be confirmed in the habit of shying and soaring at nearly everything he sees. First the ten dency, then the habit. is the law of nature, and when the pile of hay or rock, or whatever startles, is connected with the whip, as it soon will be, the habit is fixed for life. You can not lick horses into good habits; you can establish vices very easily by blows. Maine Farmer.

Practical Points for Farmers

A writer in Poultry Keeper says she has been told that sugar or any sweet ened food would kill turkeys. She has not tested it by feeding sweet food, but she knows friend who feeds her turkeys on waste from a hotel table, and she has lost many without appa- rent cause. As such scraps would be likely to contain bits of cake and pud- ding, that might be the case of death. We have never heard of this before, and are not sure it is correct, as we never had much cake or pudding or ice cream to feed the poultry on, nor did we ever have hotel or restaurant scraps, or city swill of any kind to feed them. We always disliked the idea of using it, not because of the sugar that might be in it, but because we knew that much of it would probably be in a state of partial or total decomposition, and we do not think such food is fit for anything intended for human food. We know many animals and fish eat such things, but we do not like to think of it when we are eating them.
 An exchange very sensibly cautions the farmers that when they clean out their cellars in the spring, and remove partially decayed vegetables, that they should not feed them to the hens. It is true that nearly all the vegetables kept in the cellar during the winter are good food for hens when in good condition, but when much decsyed or badly wilted, they are not more fit for the hens than for the family table. When we used to have this to do, we cleaned up these vegetables and all the dirt we could sweep up and shovel up, of which much would be carried in when the roots were put in after nar- vesting, and whether it was bushel basketful or, as in the cellar of a house into which we moved one March, an ox-cart load, we took it to some field remote from the hen yards, and there we spread it and plowed it into the ground. We got our lesson on that many years ago, when we threw basket of partially decayed onions into a hen yard In few days we had eggs that tasted stronger of onions than raw onion would. We never tried it with any more decaying vege- tables, foi we had no desire to get the flavor of rotten potatoes or cabbage in our eggs, but we have heard or read of hens being killed by rotten potatoes. Certainly they would be likely to cause bowel disorders. The vegeta- bles that are good and sound may well be fed the fowl. Gull tivator.

FIRE ON DEXTER AVENUE.
Early Discovery Saved Confagation
in a Store.

IN store.
The early discovery of the blaze and
the promptness of the fire department
saved a serious confiagration on the north
side of Dexter Avenue, near Lawrence
Street, last night at II 20 o'clock.
IA party Of young men passing along
Dexter Avenue, discovered leaping
blaze in the rear portion of the store at
123, occupied by Alex Rice & Son. The
blaze was plainly disc ecnible through the
glass doors and by the time an alarm
had been turned in and the fire depart
ment had reached the scene, the flames
had mounted to the ceiling.
The firemen smashed one of tho doors
and rushed in. Tho blaze was not large
enough to demand the use of hose, and
the Babcocks were brought into requisi-
ton. Twelve of them We're used before
all traces of the fire were gone.
The building is owred by Greil Bros. ,
and the lower floor is occupied as a de-
partment store by Alex Rice & Son. The
the rear part of the store. 1t originated
in a pile of trash Immediately under a
lot of shelves filled with groceries. The
building YVES scarcely damaged.
Mr.. Gus Rice, who was notified of the
fire Immediately after it's discovery, said
that it originated in a pile of sacks. He
thought, perhaps, that it was accidentally
lit by a customer or clerk before the close
Of business hours last night, and had
smouldered until it sprang into a blaze.
Mr.. Rice caid that the building was
hardly touched by the blaze, and that
the loss to the stock of goods was incon-
siderable. Both the building and the
stock, Mr.. Rice said, are insured.
