TOBIAS and Caesar. Their master gave

The old gentleman soon discovered
that Caesar was not tot-ns fair with
Tobias-that he was off every Sunday

FEED CALVES coo-LrvER OIL.
Animals Make Great Gains ON This
Kind Of Nourishmenf.


An attempt is being made 10 substi-
tute cod-liver oil for the natural fat
OF milk In feeding calves, according to
the Philadelphia Record. MIX CON
tains. as Is generally known. all the
nutrients necessary for the full de-
velopment OF young animal life. II
one OF these elements Is removed II
has to be replaced with substitute
OF Ike kind in order to insure. thrifty
development. Butter fat and cream,
OF course. are the most highly priced
and valuable Of dairy products and
some resourceful individual suggested
that these might be extracted by press
ing the whole milk through separa-
tor and their loss be mnde up to the
calf by adding an equivalent amount
OF cod-liver oil. another fat nutrient.
Experiments have accordingly been
In progress for some time at one OF the
agricultural colleges In Yorkshire and
recent reports seem to Indicate that
they are entirely successful. There Is
but little labor involved. The cod
liver oil and skim milk is cheaper
feed than the whole milk and the
calves appear to thrive on IT, During
a feeding experiment embracing some |
% weeks It was found that the average
daily gain OF the calves fed on whole |
milk until they were weaned was |
pounds; those fed on skim milk and
oil and continued on an oil ration, "a
pounds, while those which had been
fed oil and milk but from which the
oil was subsequently withheld gained
only 81 pounds.
On Strengthening the animals no In
furious effects on the iesh could be
discovered. The daily ration that ap-
pearcd to be successful was made up
Of five quarts Of skim milk and two
ounces Of cod-liver oil. Fortunately
the calves do not develop that aversion
o cod-llver oil which Is natural to most
human beings, but, on the contrary,
readily become accustomed to It.

Duck-Houses.

Ducks are very free from disea Sc
compared with chickens. but they are
at times subject to leg weakness, due
to overlooking or damp floors. The
floors Of the duck-house should be
kept well Uttered with cut straw.
They soon make their quarters very
filthy. hence the necessity Of renew
ing the litter frequently. As no
roosts are required, and ducks are
hardy, the house need not be very ex-
pensive. The roof should be tight
and the floor dry. II the floor is of
boards, so much the better. In such
quarters they should begin to lay now,
and keep at 1t until the summer il
well open.

The yIosquIto Plant.

The mosquito plant" species of ba.
sil, is attracting a great deal OF atten-
ton in England just now. An army
officer who secured one OF these plants
in Nigeria says it is well known as 4
mosquito defense there. and the ma
lives use an infusion of its leaves to
cure malarial fevers. As soon as

the Victoria gardens. Bombay, India,
the workmen, who had previously been
almost unable to work because of the
swarms Of mosquitoes. had no further
trouble with either these pests or tho
scourge Of malaria from which they
had been suffering.
