CORN FOR THE CALVES.
Writer Declares 1t to BE the
Very Best Food.

My experience in raising calves ex-
tends over fifteen years. OF course,
everyone knows how to feed calves,
but many do not know Just what is
best to feed. Ask me, and will say
"shelled corn" when do you begin?"
begin when the calf is three days old.
Feed it Just a few kernels at first and
gradually increase to pint by the time
the calf is six weeks old. They chew
it all up. never knew calf to pass
whole grain. l never feed calf
more than two quarts of milk at a
feeding. If am raising calves for
mixers I do not feed them enough to
make them fat. I have experimental
with all manner Of ground foods, but
none of them equal shelled corn My
calves hair Is sleek and glossy; they
are growing rapidly; they run and
frisk about and are always ready to
eat corn. My neighbor, who persists
in. feeding his calves all the milk they
can drink, besides couple of quarts Of
ground feed, has funny looking calves.
They arc little, pot-gutted things; hair
standing on end. They have the scours
nearly all tho time; lie around half
asleep. ] wouldn't trade one of mine
for dozen of his. In short, if You
want good salves feed them corn; IL
you want poor, worthless animals, feed
them something else.-1. II. Watt, in

brim rolled up over the crown, and
filled in with ruchings of pale straw
berry satin. The only trimming on
the upper part of the hat was a bird
of the parralleet species, with plumage
of every imaginary shade Of pink and
red. Many milliners are also making
up colored chenille hats and toques in
brown, green and mauve, trimmed
with speckled and phrti-colored birds
and wings.
The close-ftting Tudor toque will
be much en- evidence among the early
autumn models in velvet and silk.
The French sailor and the Toreador
are giving place to the Robespierre,
showing high crown and wider
brim in front, but caught abruptly up
at the back, where great, thick choux
rest on the couture, which, by the way,
is mostly high once again over here.
A great many of the new hats are
trimmed with ruches of satin or vel
vet and with wings across the back.
For the moment travelling hats in
soft chip and Panama, simply trimmed
with foulard scarves, are en- evidence,
and these will gradually give place to
felts. Nowadays, if we visit the lead
ing tailors and hatters we can get
toques admirably suited to outdoor
sports, but these are specialties which
i do not come into the category of new
millinery. 1t is only within the last
few years that we have been able to
really look our best when wearing
practical headgear; to do so now still
needs care and discrimination, for
soft, picturesque headgear is more
suited to the majority of women than
a tweed cap. But with skilful manipu-
lation of the brim and a careful choice
of colors leading milliners have
achieved success in this line.

1t is pretty hard to classify Maryland

largely northern. He is without ques-

FALL CARE OF COWS.
When Pastures Are Getting Bare II
Pays to Haul n Little Fodder
to the Field.

In the feeding of dairy cows two sea-
sons are recognized by the average
dairyman. These are the winter feed
ing season and the summer season. In
the former case the animals are entire
ly dependent upon what grain and fod-
der are allotted to them, there being no
opportunity for grazing afforded. The
very opposite of this is true during the
summer season, the animals being ex-
pected to hunt their own living. The
transition from one season to another
frequently causes falling off In the
milk supply. This is particularly true
in the fall when the animals are left to
shift for themselves after the nights be-
come cold. The fact is lost sight of
that dairy animal is of rather delicate
constitution, and on this account can
beef animal can bear.
1t is an exceedingly good plan to al
low cows to have shelter at night after
the first of October. If they are put
in the stable or in sheds and fed small
grain ration night and morning, to-
gether with little fodder, they will lib
orally respond to such treatment ut
milking time, and will more than pay
for the food fed in this way, and the la
Dor involved in caring for them. Whila
the days remain warm they are just
as we'll out in the pasture, as there is
no food better adapted for milk pro-
duction than good grass. Grass is also
economical, and for this reason one
should endeavor to extend the grazing
season just as long as possible. If pas
lures are getting little bare, it will
generally pay to haul little fodder to

crops of this character. 1t is never
good plan to turn cows onto frosted
grass after having kept them in the
stable during the night, it being much
better to keep them housed until the

only does this temperature hold the

next to impossible the growth of in

stronger stimulants has not occasioned
the slightest complaint The counter
at the other end of the capitol has been
patronized it is true, but almost wholly
by visitors and not to any great ex-

The capitol has really for years been
a temperate place. The day has long
passed when a senator or representa-

briefly in the neighborhood of the halls
of legislation without causing unfavor-
able comment and perhaps running his
reputation.
Men go about the work of legislation
nowadays seriously and temperately.
The same standards prevail among
public men that prevail among bust
ness men, and if the shutting of liquors
out of the capitol will only help to dis
abuse the public mind of the contrary
impression it will be very salutary
thing even though it makes no real
difference in the conduct of senators

HEIGHT OF FRUIT TREES.
Tendency of Progressive Orchnrdists
Now Il to Lower Heads for All
Kinds of Fruits.

There is considerable difference of
opinion among orchardists as to the
height at which fruit trees should be
headed. In the eastern states there are
many who think the trunks should be
Tour to five feet, and some of the ap-
pie orchards have bodies taller than
this. However well this may be for the
eastern conditions, it is not the proper
way to train trees anywhere in the CEN
trail and western states and in the east
the tendency is to lower heads. The
more recently planted apple orchards
are rarely over two to three feet to
the lower branches, and the pear or
chards from one to two feet.
Any one who has had experience in the
west knows that the hot suns and al
most constant summer winds work
havoc in orchards that are headed high
The flat-headed apple tree borer works
In the trunks and large branches that
are exposed to the sun. have seen
apple trees in northern Texas that
were badly attacked by this insect al
most ten feet from the ground. In
Kansas and Missouri it is not so album
dant and destructive. but nearly all the
apple trees with tall, bare trunks have
borers on them.
Tall heads give. the wind greater
power over the roots, which strains
them unduly, often causing the trees to
incline to the northeast or fall to the
grounds. The fruit is much harder to
gather from tall headed trees than from
those with low heads. It is especially
important that peach trees should be
headed low, and then kept pruned back
SO that ladders will rarely be needed to
be used in gathering the peaches.
Spraying is much more easily done
on low-headed trees, and the same is
true of pruning. There does not seem
to be any good reason for heading fruit
trees high, except that they are trouble
some to cultivate when the branches
are very close to the ground This
can be largely overcome by using tools
that are made to meet these require
ments.-Midland Farmer.

ea quilts are being extensive
ly used for trimming trav-
cling and morning hats; in fact, there
is evidence of "feathery" winter in
front of us. The three hats sketched
show exactly the characteristic fea-
lures of the new winter morning hats.
The French sailor on the left is of
black and white felt, trimmed with
white wings and chou of black silk
ribbon. On the right is one of the
glorified fanny toques, which are so
nice for travelling and golf; it is
mounted, as all tammys should be, on
circular bandeau, cut very deep at
the side, where it is trimmed with
wings and twist of ribbon. The
third hat is sketched with a view to
meeting Of the requirements of the
sportswoman. 1t is made of stitched
cloth or tweed, matching the costume
with which it is to be worn, and has
two pheasant quilts held in place by
small clasp at the left side, and
loops of ribbon at the back.
1t seems that we are also to have
a revival of the high 'jam-pot" crowns
and sharply-turned-up brims for smart
winter headgear. These hats usually
have rather high outstanding trim
ming of ostrich plumes, or else one
long feather curling over the turned
up brim. Beavers, too. will have
quite a vogue of their own; have

the house for a great many years,
but these rules have never been en-
forced. 1t has been assumed as mat
ter of course that they were adopted
for the sake of appearances and that
they we're not to interfere with the
comfort of statesmen or with the facil-
fly with which they might entertain
themselves or their friends.
Every little while there has been a
bluff at one end of the capitol or the
other about shutting off the booze al
together, by law, the understanding
being that if such a bill passed at one
end of the capitol it would be quietly
smothered at the other, thus giving
everybody chance once in awhile to
go on record without interfering with
bibulatory freedom.
Last winter the game was tried in
the house. They got into sharp de-
bate on prohibition during a debate on
the immigration BILL which contained
clause forbiddng the sale of beer or
wine at immigrant stations. One mem
Der dared another to offer an amend
ment prohibiting the sale of liquor in
the capitol. The dare was taken and
the amendment was adopted with
rush. Nobody had the hardihood to
vote against it, Then it went over to
the senate and the expectation was
that 1t would be heard of no more, but
the senate last winter was imbued with
a spirit of mischief and the amendment
was retained exactly as it passed the
house.
So at last the law is firmly fixed in
the statutes and there 1t is likely to
stay. For nobody is ever going to risk
his political future by offering ar
amendment allowing the sale of liquor
in the capitol and nobody of conse-
Quence would vote for such an amend
ament il it were offered.
