Feeding tn. skimmiIk Calf.

In nature. the calf gets its milk
often but in small quantities and Al
ways at blood temperature. In this
respect we should initiate nature q.
far as possible. At first the cali
should not be fed over ten pounds
daily Zone quart equals about two
pounds), divided into three messes;
four pounds In the morning, two
pounds at noon. and four pounds a,
night. This quantity may be in.
creased gradually to twelve pounds
per day. After two weeks the milk
may be fed only twice daily. Since
the calf Is very greedy animal. there
is often great temptation to give II
more milk than It can properly han
die. thus causing scours. Over feed.
ing is undoubtedly one OF the main
reasons why so many farmers fail in
raising good calves on skim milk. The
quantity of milk should be weighed or
measured at each feed. Calves from
tree to five weeks OF age will con
sumo from ten to twelve pounds
daily; when from seven to eight
weeks old fourteen to sixteen pound.
daily; and when three or four months
old from eighteen to twenty pounds
Calf milk should always be fed warm
and sweet. II impossible to have the
milk sweet all the time. then it should
be fed sour every time. 1t Is possible
to raise good calves on sour milk, but
It Is impossible to raise good calves
and have sweet milk one meal and
sour the next.-D. II. Otis.

Forests Destroyed by Sheep.

Sheep are exceedingly harmful. es.

soil is loose. says Clifford Pinchot. In
such places their small, sharp hoofs
cut and powder the soil. break and
overthrow the young trees and often
destroy promising young forests alto.
gether. In many places the effect OF
the tramplins is to destroy the forest
floor and to interfere very seriously
with the flow of streams. In the Alps
OF southern France sheep grazing led
to the destruction, first, OF the noun.
tain forests and then Of the grass
which had replaced them, and thus
left the soil fully exposed to the rain.
Great floods followed, beds Of barren
stones were spread over the fertile
fields by the force of the water, and
many rich valleys were almost or al
together depopulated. Besides the loss
occasioned in this way, 1t has cost
the French people tens Of millions of
dollars to repair the damage begun by
the sheep, and the task is not yet fin
ished. The loss to the nation is enor.
mously greater than any gain from the
mountain pastures could have been.
and even the sheep owners them.
selves. for whose profit the damage
was done, were losers in the end, for
their industry in that region was ut.
terly destroyed.

ENGLAND AMAzES RED MAN.
Returning Indian Tells Of Ignorance
Existing Abroad.

IN Indian stopped in Philadelphia
on his way to Omaha. He had been to
London, participating in a wild west
melodrama there, and it was amusing
to hear him describe the ignorance re-
garding his race that exists abroad.
An Englishman." he said, thinks
that red man can run from 200 to
225 miles a day without effort. He
thinks an Apache can overtake deer.
In fact, read in London short story
describing how, in fifteen-mile run,
an Apache caught deer, choked 1t to
death. and ate its heart raw.
THE English believe that an Indian
is so generous he would give away the
clothes on his back. I was accosted
by hosts of beggars in London, and
they couldn't understand why l didn't
hand out half-cro~n to each of them.
They also think an Indian will endure
the severest pain without finching.

stuck a pin in my leg at restaurant
one night. and was surprised when

When prunes are served they should
fall apart from the stones and be very
tender. In order that the prunes
should reach the perfection of tender.
ness it Is better to soak them in cold
water for twenty.four hours before
cooking. First they should be washed
thoroughly in scalding water: then
put to soak. After the soaking they
may be boiled with sugar-not too
much-or they may be soaked sec
ond twenty-four hours in milk and then
served with honey. Honey Is always
better with cream than sugar is.
