PROPER CARE OF THE CALF
Success Does Not Depend So Much Up
on Quantity of Feed as Upon
Method of Feeding.

The low price of beef cattle makes It
undesirable to keep COW simply for
the calf that she produces, and for this
reason it is gradually dawning upon the
thoughtful farmer that he must get a
profit from the cow above the calf she
produces, says the Rural World. And
to do this he must have cattle, even for
beef, that are pretty strong in milk-giv-
Ing qualities, so that her milk can be
creamed and the calf reared on skim
milk.
1t is not necessary to give the calf
whole milk more than one week; the Sec
ond week it can take half whole milk
and half skim and the third week it can
be given skim milk only. Itshould not
remain with the dam more than one
day, SO that it will readily learn to drink
from the pail. During the first week it
may be fed three times day, giving
from three to four pints of its dams
milk at each feeding. The quantity
should not be increased until the fourth
week, and then by only about one pint
at feed. The feeding should be done
with strict regularity, both as to time OF
feeding and quantity given
A calf does not know it has enough, so
the responsibility rests with the feeder.
Great care should also be taken about
the temperature of the milk, and it
should be given clean tin pail. Never
feed calves out of trough, as it will
cause scours and other disorders. II
scours should develop, put half tea
spoonful of zenoleum in a couple Of
messes of milk.
The milk should be gradually increased
so that by the time it is three months
old it will receive about ten pints at a
feed. AS soon as it will take til give a
little oats or bran, or mixture of equal
parts Of them, but do not give more
than it will eat up clean. 1t should also
have little fine hay of good quality.
Success does not depend so much upon
quantity Of feed as it does upon method
of feeding, including regularity. Care
should also be taken to not expose the
young calf to cold rains, damp quarters
or hot sun, fruitful sources of indiges-
ton, collie, etc. A calfs future useful
ness largely depends upon the manner in
which it is developed during the first six
months. If carried through this critical
period in thrifty condition, the chances
are that it will prove satisfactory for the
object for which it is reared.

PLAY WHIST BY TELEPHONE
Something Out Of the Ordinary in
Card Game Results from an
Unwelcome Rainstorm.

did you ever try to play cards by tele-
phone?" queried the telephone man.
according to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Never? Well, I have been expert
menting with it, and, despite the fact
that it has some drawbacks, it is high
ly interesting, and ought to become
fad
"My wife and planned to go visit
ing few nights ago, but an evening
of rain spoiled our preparations. That
was where l got busy, and after max
ing a few preliminary plans l decided
that we ought to be able to have visit
by telephone, even to including the play
ing of whist.
II have desk telephone in our din
ing-room, and so soon had a table ar
ranged and brought out deck of cards.
Then called up my friend by telephone,
and he at once fell in with the plan.
He got out deck of cards and a. table,
and then / dealt our deck face upwards,
calling out the cards that l dealt to
each, having first provided imaginary
seats for my friend and his wife. AS
I called out the cards to him he picked
these cards out and dealt them to cor
respond on his own table. Of course,
we were under the disadvantage of
knowing what cards every player held.
but the novelty of making each move
by telephone made this minor mat
ter. We would play our CARDS to turn,
always announcing the card we played.
and in this way the game went on as if
we were sitting opposite each other on
one table, instead of being about three
miles apart and playing by wire.
don't think you could play poker in
that way, however"

people told him that he did well and
was cut out for an actor.
well, the fool got stage-struck and
decided that the farm and fresh air and
the good living and the good old father
and mother and all the honest friends
he had were not good enough for him
and that he must go to the city and
carve out a career. His mother was
heartbroken and his father righteously
angry at his decision. But OF course
the fool knew better than they. All
fools know better than their mothers
and fathers-especially cub-fools. SO he
went bravely away to The city, and by
the sheer force of the physical vitality
the country air and good living and de-
cent hours had given him, he wormed
himself into the perfesh and for ten
years has been living in ill-smelling
hotels and stuffy back rooms and eat
ing everything from free lunch weiner-
wurst to the sort of rot this dago con-
cocts in his rotten kitchen.
"The fools father was strong man
and just, and when he died few years
ago he left his property to the fools
brother, who was a wise man and
stayed with a good thing, and knew
enough to come in when it rained
This proves that the FOOLS father knew
his business. So now the fool is elect
ed to exc out his miserable existence
in company with other fools of both
sexes in stuffy lodgings and on liver
wurst and beer and other abomina-
tons, while his brother peacefully
smokes his pipe in comfort and happi-
ness and watches his boys and girls
grow to manhood and Womanhood in
the green fields which will be their
heritage-unless they inherit their un-

'"That is the most pitiful of ALL You
see the girl really loved the fool and
her love blinded her to his folly and
she thought it was all right for him to
go to the city and demonstrate the
depths of his idiocy. And the fool
loved the girl, too, in a fool way and
when he left he took her in his arms and
kissed her and swore eternal fidelity
and promised her a future part in his
future triumphs. A few letters passed
and then the fool graduated from the
supe class into a speaking part, met
up against this sort of bunch and the
paint and the rouge and the pads and

rest of it, as exemplified in our charm

A happy idea has been conceived by
committee of the Women's Automobile
club of London in providing some COM
pensation for the trouble of attending
business meetings. Following the first
annual general assembly of the members
of the club there was what was called a
biograph tea held at hotel. The event
was indicated by the title. A display of
moving pictures was given, after WHICH
tea was served. Some excellent examples
of the camera art were shown, the best

Norway Maple Is Beautiful and

Norway maple (Acer platanoides) has

1t is found from Norway to Italy, and

in the paved streets of smoky cities,

makes it undesirable for narrow city

The Vitality Of Milk,

Prof. Carlyle, of the Wisconsin agri-
cultural college, is quoted as saying:
'The point wish to make is that there
is such thing as vitality in milk, and
that it is of equal, if not greater, i'm
portance than its chemical composition,
especially for the milk supply of cities,
and there can be no question but that
the vitality of milk is closely associated
with the vitality of the animal produc.
ing it. Strong, vigorous cows are the
animals that are bound to be required
for this purpose. Physicians recognize
the Importance of strong vital temper
ament in the human mother, and do not
see why it should not apply with equal
force to the COWS"

THE CIPHER WAS TOO MUCH
Telegraph Operator Thought the Mes

While Secretary Hay was in the country
one summer, an important piece of official
business was pending, and he arranged with
Washington that any news that might ar

to him in cipher.
Day after day he waited, says the New
York Tribune, but no telegram came. One
morning, happening to go to the lonely
little telegraph office, he said to the OPP
orator:

patch for me?"

Good strainer for Dairy.

About as good strainer as can be
found is a double one, the top being
made of perforated metal, and beneath
this cheese cloth about four thicknesses.
This cloth can be kept in good condi-
ton by washing and boiling. In wash
ing dairy utensils, brush is far better
than a sponge or rag, as the bristles
will enter every corner and crease and
remove everything that is collected
there. Extra care should be taken in
keeping the cloth and brush In clean

SANT0S-DUM0NT
Accused OF Cutting His
Own Balloon

st. Louis, June 29.-M. Alberto
Santos-Dumont is accused of having
cut his own balloon or having caused
1t to be cut in the official report made
to President Francis today by Col. H.
p. Kingsbury, chief of the Jefferson
guard, at the fair.
Colonel Kingsbury said: "All the
circumstances point to this theory.
do not believe Santos-Dumont ever
intended to fly at ST. Louis. l think
he intends to exhibit his airship here
and to charge admission to see 1t. |
think he had it cut so he could have a
moral, II not legal hold upon the
exposition company and compel the
company to grant him q concession
to exhibit his ship"
M. Dunont was highly indignant
when informed of the theory of the
Jefferson guards and the secret serv-
ice men. He insisted that the theory
that he had the balloon cut was too
ridiculous to discuss.

Atmosphere Is Purer.

The activity Of the police in the
slums of Canton following close upon
the shooting of Clifford Boylan, has
Lad a good effect. The ordering of the
closing of the dance halls and the
elimination Of music from those places
has been instrumental of much good.
The police report that not for years

other sections that have been noted for
their toughness. been as quiet as at
the present.
Proprietors Of saloons where the
dance hall attachment existed, report
that their business has been practi-
eslly ruined by the order to close the
dancing places. In these resorts large
crowds were attracted by the novelty
OF seeing certain women of the baser
sort, more or less intoxicated and reck-
less, dancing with a perfect abandon
with men Of their own kind. The more
s, nsuous the performance, the greater
the number attracted.
The male visitors furnished the
drinks that the fun might become
more fast and furious, and trade waa
good down the line almost every
night. Now the dancing girls have
