Calves and Butter.

It Is often difficult for one to choose
between making less butter and hav-
ing calves grow less. Experiments
show, however, that, if properly done,
a cheaper fat than cream can be add
ed to skinned milk with good results.
The trouble with doing the latter is,
that the food should be warmed to
about the temperature of the body, be-
fore being fed, and this heating is
very often improperly done. If the
milk is allowed to boil, the milk is
cooked. That is undesirable. Some
add cold water to cool milk that has
become too hot. Such dilution is IN
wise.
Tests by the Maryland Experiment
station show that cooking milk in this
manner detracts considerably from
its digestibility. Ordinary fresh milk
has a digestive co-eficient of 94.57
percent, while milk cooked for 80 min
utes at q temperature of 100 degrees
F. has a digestive co-efficient of 1925
percent. This would indicate that the
practce or allowing milk TO remain
ON a stove for some time, even should
the boiling point not be reached, is I'M
wise. Not only is there a loss due to
the indigestibility of the cooked milk,
but such milk generally results in the
arrangement of the animals system.
Unless milk has been allowed to stand
until it is SOU or has developed cOn-
siderable acid, it is a much better
practice to heat only to a temperature
Of 80 or 95 degrees, at which time it
should be removed from the heating
plant and Immediately fed to the
calves. Where for any reason milk
has undergone a fermentation and it
is necessary to destroy the organisms
by heating, a temperature of 100 or
ITO degrees, maintained for a period
of 10 minutes is sufficient to bring
about their destruction.

Poultry as Insect pestroyers.


There is n valuable advantage of
keeping poultry on the farm that is
generally overlooked, and that is the
vast number of insects destroyed by
them.
If every insect caught by a hen in a
day were counted and an estimate
made of the number Of insects eaten
by a flock of 25 hens, it would show
that hens are mor useful in that re-
spect than may be supposed.
When busily at work scratching the
hen many grubs and worms.
while the larvae of insects also assist
in providing them with food.
A flock of turkeys will search every
nook and corner of a field for insects,
and as a turkey can consume a largo
amount of food it will make away with
a vast number of them each day.
The active guinea is ever on tho

does not scratch, but every blade Of
grass is looked over, and it rarely
comes up to the ba-nyard to seek
food. It's industry prompts it to secure
its own food. and in so doing hundreds
Of insects are destroyed.

seems never satisfied. will attempt to

Diseases of Garden Crops.

Last season tomato vines were sud-
denly destroyed in some sections, al
though apparently free from disease.
Growers have had much to contend
with in defending cabbages, beans, to-
matoes, egg plants and other crops from
both insects and diseases, but occasion
ally something appears with which
they are not familiar, and before a
remedy can be applied the crop is
lost. The cabbage crop has been rem
dered difficult to grow profitably since
the Introduction of the white butterfly,
and now a disease, which made it's ap-
pearance in 1890, and has spread until
it is a serious difficulty. 1t attacks
cabbage. turnips and c%aulifower. and
is sometimes styled as both dry and
wet rot. The government, in its bull
letins of experiment station work,
states that on the leaves the disease
begins with n following near the mar
gins, the veins becoming brown or
black. 1t spreads from the margin to
the stems, and from the stems to other
leaves, or III and down the plant. The
woody tissue becomes brown, hence
the name of black or brown rot of the
cabbage. 1t may be spread by the bite
OF insects, or the plants may become
contaminated through the seed bed.
manure or soil. The remedy is to be
careful of the seed bed and kind of
anu used, the selection of a new
location of cabbags every year being
an advantage. These precautions will
reduce the loss to a minimum. A New
Jersey report mentions a disease CT
celery, describing the affected leaves
as badly blotched with brown, the dis
cased spots having a watery appear
ance. The disease spreads through
the leaf in about three days and decay
is ven more rapid. 1t is believed that
careful and timely spraying with Dor
deaux mixture or some other fungicide
will keep the disease in check. There
is a disease of beans which manifests
itself upon the pods in soft, water
soaked, spreading spots, and the leaves
and stems are similarly affected. The
disease attacks all kinds of beans, lu>
pines ind peas. Spraying the growing
plants with bordeaux mixture and re-
jecting all distorted or wrinkled seed,
so as to guard against introduction of
the disease, are the best remedies. Gu
cumbers and melons are attacked by
The disease, the symptoms of which
are the sudden willing and %collapsing
of the plants. This is due to the clog
ging of the channels of water supply
of the plants by the extremely rapid
and abundant growth of the bacteria,
which live in the channels and cause
the disease, it being spread by insects.
Investigators have suggested no rem
edy for the disease as yet, but may be
able to do so after further expert
monts.-Philadelnhia Record.

Put to Bed.
An extraordinary but apparently
well-authenticated story of a bears
freak comes from a Russian village In
the district of Odo1. The village lies
on the fringe Of a forest, whence 1t is
OF frequent occurrence for bears to
make prowling excursions both by day
and night into the adjacent settle
ments. Some two weeks ago two
young girls, aged respectively s and
10, were surprised by a huge bear at
a short distance from the village. The
animal seized and carried of the
younger child, while the elder, terror.
stricken, fed home and gave the not
unusual alarm.
An immediate pursuit was instituted
and the search was continued during
the evening and the next day, but
without result. On the third day, with
the assistance of ~neighboring villag-
ers, q wide Gordon was drawn around
an extensive tract of the forest, and
the searchers closed in. Toward sun.

THE BLOOMINGTON CASE BEING
HEARD AT BARTON LANDING.

The hearing In the case of State vs.
Alvah Day and Raymond Adams
began Friday morning before Justice
Guild. This is preliminary hearing
In which the State seeks to bind up
the respondents to the county court
on the charge Of manslaughter, for
causing the death of Rolfe Canning
of Bloomington, q boy of about
eight years of age. It is claimed that
the injuries were inflicted at school
in the north district in Bloomington
on the 23rd day of June and that
Rolfe Canning died on the 4th day of
July of peritonitis induced by said
injuries.
Alvah Day, son of Burt Day is
boy IL years Of age. Raymond Adams,
son of Ethan Adams, is 10 years of
age. Both live in East Coventry and
attend this school. On the oath day
of June, at about noon, Rolfe went
home from school sick.
The first witness was DR.. Robert
Wells of Bloomington. On the eve of
June 26th he was called to see the boy.
He found him with high temperature,
rapid pulse and short breath. Ten
derness over entire bowels, including
appendix, bloated but not discolored.
He diagnosed the case as acute peri
tonitis caused by some blow or injury.
Considered him dangerously sick. He
attended him constantly until his
death, July 4th. Had Drs. Prime and
Cushman as council. DR.. Wells ex-
amined him carefully and saw no signs
of physical injury, burns or bruises.
His attention was called to his reef,
but did not think there was any in
jury to feet or limbs to affect his con-
dition, He had stated that the trouble
might be appendicitis, but did not
think it was. The boy was In poor
flesh. Did not consider the case hope

was the next witness. Saw the BOY
