Heifer calves that are to be kept for
the dairy should receive very little corn,
as this is apt to develop the tendency to
take on flesh too strongly. Steer calves
and those which ii Is expected to fat
ten may have all the corn they will eat.
Three factors to be kept constantly in
mind in raising the calf on skim milk
are: First, the calf should not have too
much milk at any time; second, the
milk should at all times be sweet; third,
the milk should never be fed cold.
The Wisconsin Farmer says: We
have all had more or less experience

tallow to prevent sticking. This Ia

Throughout the remainder Of the war
the efforts Of the English were directed,
above all, to the capture Of Fort Du-
quesne. 1t was in marching against 1t
that Braddock met with his defeat and
death, and 1t was his heroic behavior
during the terrible retreat from the
Point that first brought Washington
prominently before the notice Of the
colonies and won him his first laurels
as commander. Three years later
Washington again led English troops
against the French at Fort Duquesne,
this time successfully. The French set
fire to the Notifications and escaped
down the river by the light Of the
flames. The immortal William Pitt
ordered the rebuilding Of the fort i'm
mediately, and from him 1t received
Its name. The recapture Of Fort Du-
quesne had given the English undls-
puted possession of the Ohio and
brought the French and Indian wars
to a close.

Absence of Smoke in Berlin.

According to consular reports. Berlin
although busy manufacturing city, is
one Of the cleanest and best kept In
Europe. The smokeless condition of
the Berlin atmosphere Is ascribed to
three facts-the preponderant use of
coke and briquettes, which are practi
cally smokeless; the skilful scientific
construction Of boiler furnaces and
chimneys, and, finally, the high stand.
ard Of skill that Is taught and enforced
among firemen who stoke furnaces
with coal for steam and manufactur.
ing purposes. Before man can as
sumo such charge he must be taught
the theory and practice of economical
scientific firing, by which the coal is
distributed In such manner and uuan
tity over the crate surface as to secure
the most perfect combustion Of it's vola
tile elements. The Silesian coal used
In Berlin in most large steam plants
and factories Is rich in bitumen, and
would rank below many of the btu
minous Goals of the United States. and
yet the long. dense, trailing clouds OF
smoke so familiar sight in many
American cities are rarely seen in that
section of Germany, where the indis
criminate shovelling of raw bituminous
coal into the steam and other furnaces
is considered an ignorant and wasteful
proceeding.
