When Animals Go Bad.

An animal trainer says that mo man
living knows all about animals or
more than very little about them.
Some who are dead thought they
knew. That is the reason they are
dead. Only those who realize their
ignorance and supplement it with I'M
firing watchfulness last long at this
queer business that I'm in.
Sooner or later most animals of the
cat kind become utterly intractable
and remain So Going bad is the
professional term for this. Rarely do
they return to their old amenable
ways. Henceforth they are of no use
as performers and are relegated to the
exhibition cages, for any man entering
the cage of lion or tiger that has
gone bad is instantly attacked. This
is one of the terrOrs of the trade.
Symptoms of the change of heart are
apparent enough sometimes, particu-
larly in animals which are growing old.
Occasionally, however, some young
beast, formerly as Obedient as you
could wish, will turn murderOuS with
out cause or warning. If her trainer
gets out alive he is lucky. II he ever
enters her cage again he's a fool

RAISING FALL CALVES.
With Warm Quarters and Good Care
Success Is Assured.

The better prices secured for dairy
products in winter have influenced
many progressive farmers to have
quite number of calves dropped in
the fall of the year, says Farmers Adj
yOcate
To raise fall calves successfully it
is necessary in the first place to pro
vide warm quarters for them. A box
stall where they can run loose after
receiving their milk allowance both
in the morning and evening is prefera-
BILE to stall in which they must be
tied all the time Some means for ty-
ing them while they are drinking their
milk and eating their grain. however,
should be provided in order to keep
them from sucking each other. as this
is an in furious habit
Skim mix is the most economical
food for calves, and since the advent
of the hand separator this may be fed
vided it is always fed at q certain uni
form temperature very nearly that OF
freshly drawn milk. 1t is not neceS>
sary to feed whole milk to calf Ion
ger than a week or ten days. After
that time skim milk may gradually be
substituted for whole milk until at
the end Of two weeks the calf is get
ting nothing but skim milk. AS soon
AS this point has been reached add
about teaspOonful Of ground flax not
f1aXseed meal from which the oil has
been extracted to each feed. Flax,
being rich in fat supplies the fat re-
moved from the milk by the separator,
and as this fat has the same food value
as has butter fat it is equally valua-
BILE as q calf food
We have used the raw ground fax
with excellent success for many years
and know it to be an excellent food.
A teaspOonfui of fax meal at each feed
is ample for Il young calf. and more
than a tablespoonful should never be
fed even to large calves. When more
grain is needed feed dry oats.

The Noisy Birds of the Night.

All the night birds are noisy. They
cannot cOnsort with one another in
happy companies, as do the warblers
and thrushes and finches, and sing and
whisper, but must call loudly and long
to one another in the darkness. On
coasts where petrels and certain other
night hunting sea birds abound, all
day sitting on their eggs or hiding in
burrows, you will hear no sound from
morning till night, but after dark the
air is filled with shrill cries. The loud,
reiterated calling of the southern
chuck will s-widow and of it's northern
cousin is familiar. A whippOOrwill
will sound it's cry several hundred
times in succession without a pause.
Owls boot or utter q harsh sort of
laughter, rarely pleasant to listen to,
and night herons and bitterns squaWk
and boom. Sweet songs occasionally
heard in the darkness are those of
wakeful day birds, as the nightingale
or our own oven bird.-ErneSt IngersOll

Died of superstition.

Princess Likelike, daughter Of Ka-
paakea and mother of Princess Kaiu-
lani, died on Feb. 3, 1887. She had not
been seriously ILL., but lava flow from
the great volcano Kilauea, in Hawaii,
which occurred a few days before her
death was to her mind a sure sign that
a chieftainess was required by the
goddess Pele, that heartless old deity
suggested to the children of nature in
the ages of volcanic terrors. So firm
were Likelike's convictions that the
wrath of the furious Pele had to be
appeased by her death that she lost
heart and never rallied. The night be-
fore her death there was a halo around
the moon. and when she saw it she
abandoned all hope and speedily died.
A few years afterward I4ikihiku heard
that he was being prayed to death by
an enemy, aided by sorcerer, dead
ly method of warfare, so he simply lay
down and died of despair.

Right Living and Good Looks.

Today our great cities show proper
tionately a higher average of dress and
general striving after personal attrac-
tiveness among both men and women
than the great cities of any other coun-
try.
Success depends in the largest meas
ure upon health and the personal i'm
preston one makes upon his fellow
men, and properly to develop and to
maintain the points that make for
personal attractiveness is to develop
and maintain health.
For example, how many men and
women stop drinking and overeat-
ing because fat is fatal to good looks?
The struggle to keep looking young is
q struggle to keep in perfect health.
And what a blessing that is to the
present and all future generations!
The price of good looks is right liv-
ing, and the reward of right living is
health.-Saturday Evening Post.

To Tell If a Man shave. Himself.

Il can tell in minute simply by
looking at man whether he shaves
himself or is shaved by barber" said
the wielder CT the razor and brush.
'No, it isn't question of cleanliness
nor yet question of hacking the face.
There is no reason why man who
is accustomed to shaving himself
shouldn't make as clean a job of it as
the average barber. And yet l can
spot him every time. See that little
lock of hair that grows down the side
Of the face just in front of the ear?
Well, when man is shaved by bar
Der those two locks don't vary in
length more than a sixteenth of an
inch. The man who shaves himself,
on the other hand, is invariably lOp-
sided. He always begins to shave
higher up on the left side of the face
than on the right side, as conse-
Quence of which one side of the face
looks longer than the other. No, I
don't know that | can explain this
phenomenon. l only know that the
condition exists" = Philadelphia Rec

Working the Butter.

Great care should be taken to have
butter a right temperature for working
usually between 80 and So degrees
There will then be sufficient amount
of moisture in the butter to dissolve
the salt. and reasonable amount of
working "A say twenty-five to twenty
four turns Of the butter worker OF
about thirty revolutions of combined
churn under average cOnditiOns-will
insure surplus and the retention of

The Water Supply.

The water used in dairy work is
mostly an unknown quantity, says a
correspondent of Hoard's Dairyman.
A hole is dug or a pipe driven into the
ground, and the water obtained is used
without any question as to it's suitable
ity for butter making or quality for
boiler use. Every step in dairy prac-
tice calls for water, pure water with
out any question as to its freedom
from contamination with organic mat
ter or an excessive amount of miner
ais. yet almost invariably no attention
is paid to its quality so long as it
tastes and smells right. Taste and
smell are poor tests for the quality OF
water 1t may be contaminated with
sewage to dangerous extent and yet
be bright and sparkling. of good flavor
and without odor.

These serpents pursued them fhe sea-

Butter and Cheese

On account of the demand for print
butter the manufa cturers and dealers
in dairy supplies have designed a num-
Der of machines and appliances for eco
nOmically holding the butter into print
forms. says American Cultivator. 4
similar arrangement for mOlding cheese
SO that it may be cut into one pound
prints has been designed at the Wis
consin station. The first print cheese
was made during the winter Of 1S9S-99
The cheese is made by the usual ched-
dar process, but the curd is placed in
a rectangular mold, the bottom, or
follower" of which is a carved board
This board makes an impression in
each one pound print of cheese, the
groove showing where it. should be cut
in order to make each print about one
pound in weight. Each cheese shown
weighs little over fifteen pounds.
Removing the Butterm1Ik.
When churning small lots of cream
some persons squeeze out the butter
milk by the aid of a wooden roller or
spoon. but this method requires an ex-
cessive manipulation, which Injuries the
texture of the butter 1t is preferable
to remove the buttermilk by means of
water. and the washing should take
place while the butter is still in the
churn and as soon as the greater part
of the buttermilk has been drawn Off
Butter that is to be eaten quickly need
not be so thoroughly washed as that
which is required to be kept for some
time, as a small quantity of buttermilk
left therein brings out the aroma more
quickly.

Initiative Animals.

Some animals have wonderful pow
ers of imitation. Dogs brought up in
the company of cats have been known
to acquire the trick of licking the
paws and then washing the face When
a cat has been taught to sit up for her
food her kittens have been known to
initiate her action. Darwin tells of a
cat that was in the habit of putting
her paw into the mouth of narrow
milk pitcher every time she got the
chance and then licking the cream off
her paw. Her kittens soon learned the
same trick

Professor D. w. May of the Ken

of a recent bulletin on the feeding OF
dairy cows, which may be summarized
as follows:
Select COWS Of dairy type. While
pure bred dairy animals will bring a
higher price they will also tend more
to produce the dairy type and are
therefore recommended
Take strict account of the cost Of
milk and butter from each individual
cow of the herd, so that the unprofita-
BILE ones may be culled out.
Exercise and pure air are very es-
sential to the best results from milk
cows, but exposure to severe weather,
especially cold rains, should be avoid
ed
Feed to get the larger amount of
milk with profit. The yield of milk
and thereby the yield Of butter is
greatly Influenced by he amount and
character of the feed, the percentage
Of fat remaining fairly constant.
Increase the amount and the length
Of the season of pasture, for they rep
resent profitable gain in dairying.
Study the profit in grain feeding in
order to avoid giving more grain than
the value of the resulting increase
yield. Our leading grain ration is Il
combination of ground corn and bran
This ration may under some circum-
stances be made better or cheaper by
the addition Of certain byproducts Of
cereal and oil mills.
