Many persons consider that . calf raised
on tkim milk cannot be other than q pool

quite true that there are plenty Of puny,
under sized calves to be found that have
been raised on tkim milk, but their unsatis-
factory condition Is not the result Of the
skim milk, but Of the care less and ignorant
methods In which 1t 10 fed.
The poor results which have so often
followed the feeding Of tkim milk have, ac-
cordiDg to bulletin Issued by the Missouri
station, been due to faulty methods, and
not because the fat CREAM which has been
taken out is absolutely indispensable to the
normal development Of the calf. In truth,
the butter fat or cream Of the milk 10 by
no means the most valuable part Of the
milk for the calf. The fat does no 90 to
form growth In Young animal, but to
keep up the heat Of the body and to supply
fat for body tissues. The parts CT milk
which furnish the growth making material
are the casein and slbumen which are seen
as curd when the milk sours. From this
material are made tie muscles and bone,
nerves, hair and hoofs, and this remains 10
the skim milk.
The calf fed on skim milk Is not general

life as the one nursed by the COW. IL often

and muscle, and the difference between the
two cannot be seen two weeks after wesn-

Sticking To II.

We notice that there Is a good deal CON
nected with sticking to thing. For in.
stance, we know Of a locality where the
farmers have for fifteen years stuck to the
potato as a crop. While some years they
make nothing at all out Of them ard have
TO feed them, the pay ing years come often
enough. so that, takirg an average OF ten
years, they find the potato one OF the most
prof able crops to raise. Again, take the
man who sticks to the dairy year after year.
This man almost iuvai iably not only has a
rich and productive farm, but he is usually
out Of debt and has money In the bank.
True, be runs his dairy At times when 1t
does not pay, but In the long run be finds
hat 1t pays and pay well. The readiness
with which the average farmer will drop
one line Of production which temporarily
does rot pay and seize upon some other
which may be having boom Is a thing to
be regretted. IL would be better all round
II there WAS more conservatism on this
matter, q more general diversiflcation OF
production. Experience teaches that the
best time to take hold OF any special thiI

CAUSES MENTAL JAUNDIcE.
Disease That Is Said to Be the He< E suit of Worry and Dis
 contentedness.

A new disease, or at least new nam4 for an old disease, has been discovered by a noted brain specialist of London It is mental jaundice.. Worrying over trifies is one cause. Greed, pride and prejudice are others. Whatever tho cause, the effect is to make one look discontent and to find continual fault with our fellow travellers toward the grave; writes Robert Webster Jones, in. Housekeeper. Let person once bes come infected with this disease.'. sayn the specialist, "and nothing but thQ most rigorous measures will efnect m cure believe mental jaundice Is on the increase, especially among the upper classes. It is the source of more unhap< piness, to the patient as well as to thosx about him, than almost any other dis< ease. Physical jaundice produces yeIs lowness of skin, which, after awhile, becomes 5ellowness of the eyes Thia produces g condition of the eye which makes the patient see everything yel- low. Mental jaundice is analogous Its victim sees nothing in it's true colors or proportions. EvAry thing is distorted by his diseased mental condition
 What Is the remedy? The specialist does not say, but it may be assumed that the cure rests almost wholly with the patient. Optimism may be made q habit as well as pessimism. It is well within ones power to open the windows of his soul and let in the sunshine Cheerfulness produces both mental and physical health. Let us avoid getting into that condition which invites men- tai jaundice. It is best combafed by a smile 6n the face and song in the heart

STAMPS NOT LEGAL TENEE,.
Intending Purchasers of Governnncrt Literature Persist iH Think
 ing They Are.

Those government bureaus that are authorized by law to sell certain of their publications frequently have trouble in regard to the form in which remit. tances are made to pay for books pamphlets or maps Among those bu- reaus is the United States geological survey, whose reports and maps have a wide circulation. The survey has per- sistently endeavored- to make generally known the fact that checks, foreign coin Gneluding Candian eoin), and post age stamps cannot under the law be received in exchange for its publica- tions, yet almost every mail brings re- mittances of postage stamps. In some instances the clerks who are required to send out the beeksN and maps hava simply bought the stamps and them selves turned the cash into the efieial coffsrs. ge that the offending purchasers have received without Aetrinaent the ruSrfcatioAs ordered. But these clerks have naturally become averse to in- vesting the entire amount of their sal aries in postage stamps which they can not use and for which they must there fore find buyers, and this practice will now be discontinued. The offense of sending stamps has been in many eases aggravated by the remittance of amounts in excess of the price of the book or map. It has often happened that six cents in stamps has been offered in payment for q Avs-eent map. In these cases 1t has been necessary to return one cent te the purchaser at . cost greater than it's value. Tn most i'm stances. perhaps, 10 change has been ex- pected, but the rules of government bookkeeping haze made 1t necessary to return the surplus amount.
 Only postal money orders or cash can be received for these publications. The maps of the survey have now a wide sale. and the failure on the part of intending purchasers to observe the requirements of law has become a source of Sc great Inconvenience that a rigid confcrmisy to these requirements will hereafter be sxasted.

 L. T. S.-If a. native on England. be. comes a naturalixed citizen of Ameri, ca and then returns to England, by what method does he again become voter in England. Is it a fact that ''once a kings subject one Is always a subject?

What nation besides Chinese. if any, cannot become citizens and voters of Amerfcas
 A. I do not think that native citi. zen of any country would lose his citi- zenship in that country provided his residence entities him to vote, even if he had been natura1ized in another coun- try. Some European countries do not recognize the validity of naturalization papers obtained in another country, and continue to claim their citizens as such. Inquiry does not develop that there has ever been test case in this country, though, of course, there may A 7~of n aifi have to gain residence in the state he proposed to vote In. I am not in- formed as to England's naturalizatioif laws. The naturalization of Chinese (and Chinese only) is expressly pro- hibited by section 14, chapter 126, laws of 1882.

July g. 1854, at which Michigan placed
herself squarely against the extension of
slavery and formed the republican
party. The book contains the official
proceedings of the celebration, history
of the republican party and portraits of
many eminent citizens who took part
in that great historic event of 80 years
ago. 1t also contains engravings of the
chief participants in the celebration, of
many leading citizens Of Michigan.
Being bound in leather, the work will
form a lasting memento and valuable
historical possession for those who are
to receive it.
