HANDLING YOUNG STOCK.

Many farmers seem to nave an idea that
it is necessary TO keep all Of their farm
animals in a state Of constant fear i'll or
der to gest the best results from them.
Nothing could be farther from the most
dcSirah BILE state of affairs. 1t is admitted
that one must be firm with animals in or
der to make them understand that you are
master at all times, but this t1rmneSs may
be so associated with kindness that the
animal will not only be obcdient, but will
develop II wonderful amount of intelll-
gencc. To keep an animal in constant
fear is 10 get as little out of them as they
can give. To treat it kindly IS 10 obtain
from it all that It can give-a wonderful

CALVES RAISED WITHOUT MILK.

There is considerable controversy going
on over the question Of raising calvc
without milk; that is, providing them with
so1nc substitute for milk from the time
they are two or three weeks Old until
they arc put on grain and hay at four
months old. 1t is claimed that where milk
can be sold for Il good price one cannot af-
ford TO feed any part of it to calves. This
May be true, and If it is the question arises
! as to whether it will pay to raise the calf
at all. IL the experiments tried in rails
ing calves without milk, cocoanut meal.

foods are used and with varying success.
! This is Il question one must work out for
himself and it can only be done by expert
rncnt. placing the cost of the bought food
against the price received for the quantity
of milk the calf would consume in Il given
period and then balancing the difference
by the kind of a calf you have to show
After all here is the kernel OF the nut. If
the net value of the milk consumed by the
calf is So and the cost OF feeding her
without milk is $40, is the calf worth the

or three months of her early bahyhood?

DIVIDED ON DIVORCE.
Absolute Prohibition of .Remarriage
Proposed By EpiscopaIs.

Boston, Oct. 12.-The committee on
canons OF the Episcopal church con-
ventiOn, in charge Of the proposed new
canon on marriage and divorce, sub
mitted a lengthy report through lis
chairman, Rev. DR.. F. P. Davenport OF
Memphis, Tenn. The present canon
on the subject permits the remarriage
OF the innocent person in a divorce
case where a decree was issued by the
civil courts on the ground of infdel-
ity. There has been considerable dis
satisfaction over this canon, many
clergymen taVOring law to prevent
the remarriage of any divorced person
while the former partner is living.
The majority OF the committee ap
pointed at the last convention to re
port on the subject favored this idea
and recommended the following amend
ment: ....s.....
mo minister shall solemnize mar.
riage between any two persons unlesa
by inquiry he shall have satisfied him
self that neither person has been Or is
the husband or the wife Of any other
person then living, from whom he or
she has been divorced for any cause
arising after marriage"
A minority report, signed by Rev.
DR.. j. Lewis Parks of New York, Rev.
Henry B. Mast of Cambridge, Mass,
and r. II. Battle, was presented which,
II adopted, would be to leave un-
changed that part of the Old canon
permitting remarriage Of the innocent
person in case OF in1idelity.

WHISKY FROM ONE SALOON SAID
TO HAVE CAUSED TWENTY
FIVE DEATHS.
SAME MIXTURE SOLD ELSEWHERE
WORKERS WERE KILLED BY
DRINKING 1T.

New York, Oct 12.-Acting under
instructions from the coroner the pO-
lice have taken into custody Rudolph
Fritsche, who keeps little saloon at
723 Tenth avenue Fritsche is charged
only with being a suspicious person,
but the police say that in his saloon,
it is suspected, whisky was sold which
contained poison and that this whisky
is responsible for the many deaths
that have occurred in the neighbor-
hood recently.
Fritsche only recently bought the
place, which is of the variety generally
described as barrel house." Whisky
is sold there in large quantities and
at low price The leading brand
was drawn from barrels upon the ap-
plication of a purchaser. People in
the ueighborhood carried their TASKS
to the saloon and had them filled.
Investigation of the numerous deaths
in the neighborhood during the past
two weeks showed that nearly all
those who had died suddenly were GUS
toners of the "barrel house, Fritsche,
after being taken to the stationhouse,
was quickly admitted to bail. He re-
turned to the saloon, but the police
followed, closely questioned the pro
prietor and closed the doors.
Twenty-Five persons living in the
neighborhood, all Of them of middle
age, have died within the past two
weeks. The symptoms were in the
main Identical. They were charac-
terizcd by the attendant physicians in
all cases as those Of alcoholism. In
the past twenty-four hours one death,
that of Robert Smith, has been re-
ported.
Coroner Is Suspicious.
Coroner Scholer said he had worked
night and Gay since Sunday to run
down the reports of deaths due to poi
soning by Fritsche whisky.
II do not want to be an alarmist," :"
he said, but Fritsche is not alone con.
cerned in this matter. [ am confident
that the same sort of liquor will be
found in other saloons and that many
deaths will be traced to that source .

case at once, in conjunction with the
