Do not attempt to force food on
chicks when first hatched. They need
to be left quietly under the hen for at
least twenty-four hours. Then feed
rolled oats slightly moistened with
milk. stale crackers. or a johnny cake
made of equal parts OF corn meal and
middlings and baked In the oven. AZ
ter few days change the food often
and keep them busy and partially
hungry.
II is well known among scientific
feeders that cattle that have been
starved or improperly fed during calf
hood or as yearlings never recover en-
tirely. The muscles and tendons hard
en- and shrink and such an animal is
never afterwards able TO put on flesh
in the way intended by nature. They
may be fattened, but thesfat is always
in layers and lunches on the outside
and not mixed with the lean meat The
feeding of calves and yearlings on hay
alone during this growing period also
has a disastrous effect on the future
growth of the animal. AS stockmen
study the economy Of meat making
they will learn to handle their young
cattle on a different plan from that
now too generally in vogue.-Denver

One of our subscribers who has be-
come imbued with the idea that the
separator is the thing. writes his ex-
perience as follows: I'VE have used
hand separator for two months and
went from 121z cents a pound store
trade for butter. to from 21 to 23 cents
cash for our butter fat at a local
creamery. We find that the number OF
pounds OF butter that we can churn
from gallon OF cream is the same as
the number OF pounds Of butter fat
paid for by the creamery. The speed
of the separator affects the density OF
the cream. We brought our test of
butter fat from seventeen to thirty-two
per cent by learning to get the proper
speed of the machine by the use OF
watch. We only turned half fast
enough at first and in this way we lost
half our profit.-Field and Farm.

which brought big welts on his back

THE FARM AND RANGE
To Cure Mango.

The cattlemen of Yuma county. Colo.
rado. met at Yuma May 2ist and spent
practically the whole day discussing
the mango parasite and the regulations
made by the state and federal govern
ment for stamping out the infection.
The principal conclusion of the meet
ing was that the federal regulations.
under the circumstances, are too So
we're and will cause the cattle shippers
much loss next fall when shipping time
comes. The conclusion was also
reache that neither the state nor
federal government Is as well posted
on the disease as 1t shou.l be. and that
complete success in stamping out the
Infection VIII not come until some ex-
periments have been made.
1he meeting was held under the
auspices of the State Cattle Growers
Association and the Yuma county cat
tie growers. Among those present
from outside the county we're: DIR.
Howe. the federal inspector for the,
district DIR. Charles @. Lamb, the
state veterinarian: DIR. George Glover.
professor OF veterinary science at the
agricultural college: Prof. c. p. Gil
lette. professor of entomology at the
agricultural college: Prof W. l.. Car
lyle Of the agricultural college. and
Secretary Fred p. Johnson of the Colo
rado Cattle and Horse Growers Asso-
citation.
Professor Carlyle presided over the
meeting and. while the experts pres
ent led the discussion, 1t was partici.
pated in by large number of cattle
men present
In order to get right at the heart OF
the natter ., COW infected with the
disease was roped and brought into
town, Professor Gillette secured a
number OF the mites from this animal
and they were exhibited to all the cat
tlemen through n microscope while the
professor related the life history oY
the troublesome little insect. The mite
can barely be seen by the naked eye.
but under the microscope It could
easily be studied.
The meeting adopted strong resoli-
tions calling the attention of the b,i-
rcau Of animal industry to the fact
that as yet there have been compariy-
lively few experiments with this dis
ease In cattle on the western ranges
and while the cattlemen admit that II
can be cured by dipping they find 1t
almost impossible to prevent reinfec-
ton after the animals are cleaned.
They ask that the bureau undertake
some practical experimental work
and that next fall the regulations be
modified so as to permit exposed cat
tie to be dipped at the market.
BY direction OF Professor Carlyle,
Professor Gillette. who is an authori-
ty In regard to the mango mite in
sheep, took number of the mites
back to Fort Collins with him. He will
infect couple of cattle of the college
herd, which will be isolated. and he
and DR.. Glover will Immediately begin
some practical experiments to deter

Flood at Greeley.

the Poudre carried such a flood of wa

For hours last night hundreds OF
people watched for the flood near Oak

feet at midnight IL was thought the
crest of the flood had passed. but at 8
O'Clock this morning word came from
people living northwest of Greeley OF

STATE CAPITAL NOTES
In the supreme Court.

An application for a writ of super
sedeas and the handing down of decis-
ions denying three similar applications
were part of the work OF the Supreme
Court May Goth. ]. Maurice Finn ap-
Piled for a writ OF supersedeas in the
case OF Russell Boles, and the applica-
tions denied were those OF L. Carrie
johnson. Oscar Molin and Calvin X.
,Hubbell. In the Boles petition the
court issued an order that the prisoner
rbe kept in the custody OF the sheriff
pending the hearing on June 9Th. In
she three other cases the sheriff was
ordered to execute the judgment of the
court below.
DR.. l.. Carrie Johnson. a practicing
physician of Pueblo, was convicted OF
criminal malpractice upon the person
of Pearl Gordon. wife OF a sergeant in
tho United States army, living at Pu-
eblo. The woman died from the effects
of the operation. The case was bitter
ly contested in the Pueblo District
Court. the son of the defendant and her
brother, two well-known attorneys.
putting forth every effort to stay con-
viction. Mrs. johnson is sixty-hve
years old. and as her sentence was
from fifteen to twenty years. she VIII
probably end her life in the peniten-
tiary.
Oscar Molin was sentenced to the
penitentiary for life for killing Martin
lDahlgerg Larson in a row at Nine
iteenth and Market streets early in the
year.
The decision In the Hubbell case is
.of more than ordinary importance for
the reason that the appeal was based
on the claim made by the convicted
mans attorney that the age OF consent
law was unconstitutional. Twenty as
signments of error were made on this
particular point. but the courts decis-
ion upholds the present law Hubbell
was sentenced to from five to seven
years for assault upon Ethel Richard
son. fourteen years old.

written pages. Nearly fifty exceptions
are taken to the ruling of the lower

Shaw's View of Irvino.

Mr.. Bernard Shaw is such an out
and-out satirist and possessed of such
abundant material that he can seldom
confine upon the pages of his book
proper all the thoughts arising in its
connection. Therefore he mas zcquir-
ed the habit OF putting much into the
prefaces. until they have assumed an
irimitable quality and distinction.
In one of his books of plays he
makes the appended reference to Sir
Henry lryins's Shylock:
