DEATH FROM ScOURS.
II G Calf Is Allowed to Stay with Its
Mother for n Week 1t VIII
Not Occur.

Having noticed a complaint from
farmers a number of times of loss of
calves from scours, / feel it almost a
duty to tell little of our own expert
ence in the rearing of calves. At one
time a heifer was so badly paralyzed
by the birth Of her calf that she could
not suckle it, and we undertook to
raise it by hand. 1t was n large,
strong, hearty calf, and we fed it with
milk from cows that had been giving
milk three months. At first it seemed
all right, but after few days it began
to scour; at one time it would be raven
ously hungry and again would not eat
at all, and a few days later was dead.
At the same time n calf was purchased
that had been sucked once, perhaps
twice, as it was taken from its mother
the day of its birth. We fed it on the
same kind of milk that the first calf
was fed, and in short time it grew
sickly and did not thrive, although a
calf of the same age, which had run
with its mother until it was week
old, ate from the same pail and grew
apace. We felt sure it would die, when
calf about "a hours old slipped over
a bank and was drowned, and we put
the ailing calf on the latter's mother.
1t lived and got all right, and made a
fine steer. Another calf that we under
took to raise the same way nearly died,
but we put it on fresh COW just in
time. The result was astonishing; the
calf was so weak they held it to the
COW the first time, but in week it was
as playful as kitten, and is to-day a
fine calf nearly a year old. Our ex-
perience has taught us to believe the
first milk of the fresh cow is essential
to the newborn calf, and that it is best
for the calf to suckle the COW until it
is week old. If people will follow
this plan am assured they will have
no trouble from scours if the calf is
born healthy.-Mrs. Bessie Gross, in

SOME THUMB-RING LORE.
Facts OF Interest Concerning Fam GUS
Specimens and wenrers I'm
Ancient History.

The custom of rings upon the
thumb prevailed in England until the
close of the eighteenth century, and
is of very ancient origin. There is a
mummy case in the British museum
which represents an Egyptian lady
wearing rings upon the thumbs of
both her hands. The Romans were
greatly addicted to this practice, and
as many of their thumb rings were
most cumbersome and inconvenient,
the patricians varied their rings with
the season, terming them summer"
or winter" rings, as the case might
be, says London Lady.
During his visit to Rome, Addison
saw some of these old rings, and COM
ments thus upon them: $50 very thick
about, and with such large stones in
them, that 'tis no wonder a fop should
reckon them little cumbersome in
the summer season of so hot climate.
The Emperor Ira jan possessed win
ter thumb ring" which measured some
3is inches in width and bore a bust in
high relief of his consort, Plotina.
English thumb rings do not appear to
have been less massive. During the
latter part of the middle ages they
formed n part of the necessary adorn-
ment of the bishop when he was ar
rayed in full pontificals.
Thomas n Beckett possessed n
thumb ring set with n valuable ruby,
which was about the size of hens
egg. This ring was n gift from Louis
VII. of France. At the reformation,
Bluff King Hal seized the archbishop's
ring from his despoiled shrine and took
it for his own personal adornment,
thus bringing thumb rings back into
fashion for awhile. They had long
been abandoned by the upper classes
and had gradually come to be consid-
cred indicative of the burgess class.
Thumb rings were often set with the
tooth of some animal as an amulet. A
VOLTS tooth was supposed to act as
! n charm against assault, while n bad
gers tooth brought wealth and gen
eral good luck.
The crapandine, or toadstone, was
also used in this way, as it was sup
posed to possess various mystic vir'
tues, one of which being the power OF
warning its wearer of the presence OF
poison In his food or drink by changing
its color. The mystic word "Anamyap

tus" was often engraved upon a thumb
ring as n charm against epilepsy or
cramp. This was in accordance with
an old superstition, which gives this
work as a cure 'for the falling sick
ness" Another favorite preventive of
epilepsy was a silver thumb ring en-
graved in Gothic characters with the
names of Jasper, Melchior and Bal
thazzar, the three Wise Men from the
East. In "The Squire's Tale" Chaucer
mentions magical thumb ring worn
by Conace, the daughter of "Cambus-
can Bold" which gave her a complete
knowledge of the medicinal value of
herbs and enabled her to converse with
birds in their own language. Wedding
rings were formerly worn upon the
thumb, but did not always stay there.
In the ancient ritual of marriage the
bridegroom was directed to place the
ring upon the thumb with the words:
