In the absence of skim milk for mixing the

CALVES RAISED WITHOUT MILK.

There is considerable controversy going
on over the question of raising calves
without milk; that is, providing them with
some substitute for milk from the time
they are two or three weeks old until
they are put on grain and hay at four
months old. 1t il claimed that where milk
can be sold for a good price one cannot af-

Why Quail are Scarce.

Local nimrods and others in

terested in theory recently ad-
vanced which may account for
the scarcity of game, as all the
hunters have noticed this year.
1t is claimed by farmers and
others that when a quail or rab-
bit drinks of the water in the oil
fields that they do not long sur
vive. The salt water kills them.
This theory has been advanced
for sometime in the neighbor-
hood of Van Buren and to test it
one man who owned Belgian
hares put two of them in a pen
and gave them water from creek
nearby and in twelve hours both
were dead. In another instance

died in a few hours. Several

it necessary for the quail and

reason for it being more mott

That Wonderful Horse. Hans.

Golfers for November 26
prints its second account of the
wonderful horse in Germany
that has amazed the whole scien-
tific world. This account says:
'Hans picks out the colors in
chrome or in the ribbon of a
decoration and designates shem
by hoof- beats, referring to the
order Of the colored squares
placed before him. He picks
out discords when chords of three
or four notes are played and,
what is more, he names the note
that harmonizes the chord.
When those attending the exhib-
tion are placed in a line before
him, Hans will pick out the short
est or the tallest. After looking
at their photographs, he will
identify the originals. All the
time this is done he has to be
bribed with small pieces of car
rot, his favorite delicacy, to 60
on. During a recent experiment
he refused totally to answer any
of the questions put to him by
German officer, whose monocle
and twisted mustache seemed
to offend him. Some of the
mathematical problems put to
him are of kind so intricate
that a child of ten or eleven
would have difficulty in solving
them. Hans succeeds nineteen
times out of twenty on the aver
age. Herr Won Gotten has devot-
ed some twelve years to what he
calls the ascertainment of the
capacity of the horse, and he as
serts that Hans has not been,
and will never be, placed on ex-
hibition for money"

The Lake Shore railway has placed
an order for 5000 steel ties, and will
use them on four-mile experimental
section of its lines between Buffalo
and Cleveland. This is an attempt at
a practical solution of the problem
presented by the increasing difficulty
of obtaining first class wooden ties.
The needs of the railroads of the
United States are about one hundred
million wooden ties per year; and as
1T is said 100 ties is tie average prod
uct of one acre of forest, a million
acres must be cut each year to supply
the demand. Some substitute for the
wooden tie must be found. and natur-
ally the reads tu.n to metal. The
fist cost is much greater than that
of wooden ties. but the much greater
durability undoubtedly will make the
steel tie the cheaper in the long run.

DROUTH KILLING WHEAT
Farmers Fear the Bad Effects Of
the Present Pleasant Weather.

The prevailing drouth in this
section is becoming source of
great worry to hundreds of farm
ers, who fear the effects will be
disastrous on the wheat yield of
1905 and produce another total
failure, such as was experienced
last summer.
There has been no rain of
consequence for over six weeks
and the situation is becoming
alarming. The earth has be-
come so dry that late wheat is
exposed to the ravages of the
raw winds, in some instances the
roots being laid bare.
Not in many, many years has
there been such a dry fall. Nc
hope is held out for immediate
relief. Farmers have been anx-
iously awaiting rain for several
weeks and now they begin to full
ly realize the gravity of the stu.
alton. Should the wheat crop OF
1905 fail as the crop did this year
the results will be doubly worse
owing to two successive failures.
Within the memory of the old
est inhabitant hereabouts such
a long continuance of mild
wheather at this belated season
of the year is unprecedented,

with few exceptions have been
as pleasant as May,-Gosher

There have been more bitches
dug in Marshall county duriug
the past twelve month than in
any. other previous year. OF the
circuit court bitches the Lemert
and the Zechiel are the largest
while the Marvin takes the lead
as commissioners court ditch.
If the construction work of other
years is to be considered, the
Dansman and the Armey ditch, a
joint project shared by Marshall
and Kosciusco counties, easily
rank first in point of size. Bonds
have deem issued for the Zechiel
ditch and will soon be placed on
sale for some of the others. All
of these extensive drainage
courses have been excavated by
shovel and plow although it is
well known that the use of a
steam dredge will cut the expense
down more than one half. Every
farmer who has been compelled
to meet a ditch levy of one btu n
dred dollars might have gotten
off by payment of fifty dollars
except for one reason, and that
is the existence of dredge trust.
The owners of dredges all over
the state have combined to main
tain prices, so digging ditch
that way costs just about as
much as any other way. In
Marshall county the PROPOSE
ton has been to either employ a
member of the dredge trust and
allow graft or to dig bitches by
hand, thus furnishing employ.
ment to hundreds OF citizens.
All things being equal, the pro-
moters have wisely always chosen
the latter course. But the fact
remains that but for the illegal
combination called the dredge
trust, thousands of dollars might
have been saved 10 the farmers
of Marshall county and every
other county in the state. .-Cul.
