Give the Calf Some Grain.

There are good many things we
do not know about cattle raising, and
especially about the rearing of the
calf. There are few things that we
are beginning to find out, and among
them is the fact that it does not nav
to try to raise the calf on dry hay
alone. The cost of producing gains
on calves in winter is least when a
partial ration Of grain Is fed along
with the hay. The calves that have
only dry hay all winter make coor
gains and some of them go into spring
in very thin condition. This Is the
case most where the cattle are made
to partly fill up on straw and have
only dry hay for the rest of their ra.
ton. Straw contains such arge pro.
portion Of fiber to nutrients that it re.
quires about all there Is in 1t to pay
for the work Of digestion. The calf
should be kept growing all the time,
and this can only be made possible by
giving him food rich in nutrients.

Christian Names Not for Horses.

The practice of naming horses after
eminent persons is common in Eng.
land and France, but in Russia it is
considered disrespectful by some
judges of manners. A Russian sports.
man has named promising FLY Flea.

the celebrated actress. He is severely
rebuked in the Russian papers. ''If
this should be tolerated." they say,
I'VE shall be having horses called
after Tolstoii and other national
worthless. Nay, Kourapatkin himself
will be saddled or turned out to grass.
The censor ought to stop the abuse
Of the names Of Christians. Is the
holy synod asleep?" A Russian may
call his dog Caesar, Of Pompey, for
they were pagans, and their memory
is not revered by members of the
orthodox church. But suppose some
reckless subject of the car should
call his dog or horse Pobiedonostzeff,
what would the holy synod say then ?

Points Of the prafe Horse.

Prof Geo. M. Rommel, of the Unit.

relative to the required qualities of
the marketable draft horse. says:
Size and Weight.-The weight that
VIII characterize a horse as a drafter
will be that above which he can not
work at trot without waste of effort
and horsefiesh and below. which he
can work more economically by haul
Ing smaller loads at increased. speed.
This weight Is pretty generally con.
ceded to be 1000 pounds in fair flesh.
The height of drafter will vary from
1913 hands for the smaller sorts to
l7.2 hands for horses of great weights.
The Importance of weight In a draft
er must not be overlooked. His pur-
pose is solely that of heavy work.
pulling great loads at the walk, and
10 fulfill this requirement most per-
fectly the first essential Is weight,
with, OF course, proportional size.
without weight the immense loads
that are to be hauled over our city
streets could not be moved, and care
full observation Of the average prices
has shown that, other things being
equal. draft horseflesh Is worth about
$25 for every additional hundred
pounds 1t can show over 1000 pounds
1t Is also essential that as much as
possible Of this weight be bone and
muscle. Though many buyers un.
questionably demand fat, and the truth
Is that horse cannot sell for cred.
liable price unless fat, the effective
value OF horse as worker should
not be lost sight of.
Conformation. His conformation
should enable the animal to make his
weight as effective as possible, and,
at the same time, assure reasonably
long period of usefulness. For this
purpose he must have a rather short,
heavy neck and shoulder sloping
enough to take the collar well, but
not so straight as to cause a post
leg" and bring about premature un.
soundness. The back should be short,
we'll muscled and strongly coupled to
the hind quarters, which should be
nicely rounded, smooth and plentifully
supplied with muscle. Particular at.
tention should be paid to the hook.
The legs must be moderately short
and have supply of bone sufficient to
support the weight and work of the
animal, and, of course, must be sound.
A short leg, with low-set knees and
hooks, is one that will stand wear and
tear and usually goes with a strong,
closely coupled body. Head and neck
should be proportionate to the size
of the horse. The whole appearance
should be massive. "
Action.-The action of the drafter
Is confined almost exclusively to the
walk. For this reason the walk is of
vital Importance. Rapidly of step
and length of stride enable him to
cover considerable ground in the least
possible time. Straightness, smooth
ness, regularity, and lack of friction
enable him to do this with the least
possible wear and injury to himself.
The trot should possess all the merits
of the walk

WHOLESOME RECIPES.

LentlI and Nut Loaf-To one pint OF
rather dry lentil pulp add one cup OF
grated Brazil nuts and sufficient stale
breadcrumbs to make a stiff mixture.
Season with salt and sage If desired
Press into a bread tin and bake in a
slow oven one hour or longer.
Fruit soup-Into one cup of warm
water put one rounding tablespoonful
of sage and cook in double boiler
one.half hour. Then add two or three
whole cooked prunes, one-fourth cup
stewed raisins, two tablespoonful
stewed cranberries, one teaspoonful
lemon juice and sugar to suit the
taste. Allow it to heat until the fruit
is hot, and serve. Vermicelli or pearl
barley may be substituted for sage,
and dried cherries, with strawberry
and lemon juice, used in place of the
fruits mentioned.
Snowballs with Prunes-Steam rice
one hour or until tender, then form
into balls. with one large or two small
prunes in the center. Serve with a hot
sauce made by warming for few
minutes one-half cup of meltose, to
which the juice of one lemon has been
added and little prune juice to make
it of consistency to pour easily.
Banana and Nut saIad--Peel three
bananas and slice thin; add one-halt
cupful broken (not chopped) walnut
meats. Pour over this two-thirds cup
of the dressing and mix well. Serve
on platters garnished with lettuce

oughly done two cupfuls of Scotch
peas. Rub through a colander and
add two wellbeaten eggs, little
minced parsley, small grated onion,
salt to taste and dry bread crumbs
enough to make quite stiff. Form Into
croquettes, roll in beaten eggs and
breadcrumbs and bake in oven about
ten minutes. A cup Of chopped wal.
nuts will improve the croquettes.

Diet for tuberculosis.

The tubercular patient needs pro.

excess must be treated like poisons,
and hence must be a burden to both
liver and kidneys, and waste OF vital
energy. .H- .+H +"
Proteids must be taken, not only in
moderate quantity, but in the purest
form possible. The vegetable kingdom
presents proteids In combination with
fats in great abundance, and in nuts,
which can be made easily digestible
by thorough chewing or by proper
preparation.
The yolks Of eggs afford also a com.
bination of fats and proteids which is
admirably suited to the tubercular pa.

another food adapted to this class Of
patients when 1t does not produce

was the issue of this second mar
riage. My mother, a gentle creature.
Tying in child birth, left Lord Waters
TO again face an existence which had
slight charm for him.
Long Haut was not SO many miles
from London as the crow flies, but
separated from 1t by sloughs, rocky
hills and morasses.
The Manor House was built on a
steep hill of powders taken from the
rocky hillside. 1t was well nigh i'm.
pregnable. and that perhaps was why
in the many changes Of Parliament 1t
had been left to the indisputable
rights of its original owners, when
many other estates changed hands.
Only one horse road led to 1t. 1t
was a road that In fair weather was
only fair, but in foul an unapproach-
able way. The wagon must be OF
strong timber that could even climb
to where the bride path began; but
let it rain, and 1t rained often In that
region by the sea, the road became
river of mud. A cart trying to ascend
then would be buried up to the hubs
and needs be forced to stay there un.
til spring dried up the slough.
The Manor was surrounded by
many acres of forest, fen, fell and
some tillable land. A village which
was held in fief of some hundred
souls was huddled at its purlieus and
gave Lord Waters little obligation.
They seemingly rendered him scant
service, except at the planting in the
spring time and in the autumn there
gathered together a motley, half-sav-
age crowd-consisting of men, wom-
en- and children-and they all fell to
work at the husking and failing Of
the corn.
When the work was done, riotous
fun began. Flaming torches of tarred
pine were placed at intervals in the
open to give light and to piece out
the harvest moon. These lent weird
aspect to the glen.
A long board was spread with
trenchons of steaming beef, huge piles
Of black bread and other edibles, and
about this the people were benched.
1t did not take them long to tighten
the table of it's weight of plenty.
Hogsheads of strong home-brewed ale
helped wash and pack down the beef
in the bellies Of the men, till they
were like taut drawn drum heads that
a touch might burst.

dent in my fathers life he shut up

! 1t was strange to be called a slip
Of boy by Gil. True as years went
I was when compared with him, but
six feet two and corresponding
breadth and muscle count for some
thing.
Gil was dwarfish in stature, with
arms so long they almost swept the
slightly forward. The strength in his
arms and hands was something pro-
digious. He could hang from the limb
of tree and swing far out by rocking
his body, propel himself into another
tree, there catching a branch as cas-
lily as a monkey might. This strength
and agility had earned him the name
of "The ape" when a youth.
His head was massive and set low
down on a bulky body. His face was
covered with hair, and his mustachio
had sweeping ends deliberately curled
upward. This style he had caught
from Hidalgo when in Spain. His
eyes were grey with infinitesimal
pupils. l need not tell you that his
sight was the keenest. He was of
Swiss extraction, and had come to
London when a boy to seek a fortune.
There, having saved his life, my faith
err bound him to him by the closest
tie that can be knotted, the tie of
gratitude.
We were a striking contrast. l was

Thought Blacks immortal.

The natives of the West Indies
imagined that the negroes, who were
imported in droves as slaves from
western Africa by the early Spanish
governors, were immortal, says Pear.
sons Weekly. The black man was
novelty to these islanders, and their
belief arose from the fact that the
negroes were never seen to suffer
from any natural infirmity, such as af
fected the white man and the island.
ers themselves.
The American climate agreed with
them better than their own unhealthy
Guinea; and from their remarkable
vigor and extraordinary longevity the
Indians not unnaturally concluded
that they were immortal For long
time they saw or heard Of none who
died, except as criminals at the hands
of Spanish executioners, and SO they
believed that the only way to put an
end to negro's life was to hang him.

Wanted-An Appetite.

Don't be without one. Why go to
the dining room under protest. Don't
try to buy appetite at dollar bot
tie. Earn 1t. One should enjoy eating
and he will, IL he has a natural appe-
tite. such as comes to one who works
for 1t.
The outdoor life creates appetite,
and cold morning bath awakens the
brain, lungs, heart, liver, stomach and
the appetite. An Ice bag over the
stomach for half an hour before meals
is a good natural appetizer for bed
ridden invalid.
Another. method is a hot application
over the abdomen for five minutes, fol-
lowed by an ice rub over the same
parts for one or two minutes. This
not only produces an appetite but
stimulates the flow Of the digestive
juices and thus furnishes the ability
to digest.

A Toothache Remedy.

A medical remedy for toothache OF
great repute is sodium salicylate.
There is no other drug equal to 1t,
especially for those cases where the
pain is started by taking cold. The
pain is generally promptly relieved
by a dose of forty-five grains, and II
this be repeated every four hours the
inflammation may entirely subside,
leaving, of course, decayed tooth,
which will need attention-perhaps
extraction-at the hands of the
dentist.
The addition of belladonna is often
advantageous and 1t is said that fif-
teen grains of salicylate with fifteen
minims of the tincture of belladonna
will often give the patient a good
nights rest, when without 1t sleep
would be impossible.
