looked down the avenue which led to the
high road; still she did not think they
would run off of their own accord; even
Cyras had never done that.
Moore, Jaquet and one of the house
maids went about, searching the house
and grounds thoroughly; all In vain. In
+the midst of the commotion Mr.. Baum
-Sarten came home.
"The children are lost" said Lady
Grace.
Lost! The children! Oh, nonsense, =
said Mr.. Basmgarten.
1t appeared that the last seen of them
was when Moore took the cake and tea

not very clear as to how soon afterward
they left 1t.

Cyras was quite satisfied; all roads
were pretty much alike to him. They
saw haymakers, and they saw some gyp-
sies.
In returning home, when driving across
q strip of waste land or common, an open
carriage containing an old lady encoun-
tered that of Lady Avon. Both car
riages stopped abreast, and the ladies en-
tered into conversation. 1t chanced that
they had stopped exactly opposite gypsy

The little boys dined at the luncheon

FEEDING THE DAIRY CALF.
The One Intended for Beef Should
Have Different Handling Than
the One for the Dairy.

and 10 feed in a different manner the
calf intended for beef, says a writer
in Farmers Review. The feeding of
the calf in either case is a matter that

feeding will make the calf sick.
Calves are frequently unthrifty, and
the causes for this ! find to be three:
Overlooking, under.feeding, and lice.

with calves are due to ignorance as
to how they should be fed. ! make il

the calves. To a fOur.weeks-Uld calf
intended for the dairy | find that Ii

of course will be regulated somewhat
by the size of the calf. With this
milk | give from two to three pints
of ground grain. After the calf is a
month old and up to at least six
months old, | feed some whole oats,
and find the results to be good. The

PURE WATER FOR cows.
A Matter Which Has Very Close
Relationship to the Quality
of Milk.

Most OF us realize the Importance
OF providing enough water for dairy
cows. but some neglect even this and
let the COWS get along on half rations.
OF course the COWS take it out of their
board by not giving as much milk as
they would do were they better fec
and cared for. Few of us, however.
consider the necessity of having pure
water. 1t is as important that the
COWS nave pure water as that we have
1t in the house.
lm,ure water will affect the health
and product Of the COW as quickly as
it will human beings, possibly quick.
or, for they drink more and take no
other leverage. Cows in milk will
drink close to seven gallons of water
a day and some of them will take
much more The water supply should
be the first consideration on the
farm. 1t is OF more Importance than
feed or stables, and no reasonable
effort should be neglected to provide
an abundance of the best quality.
For winter dairying a self regulat.

venient and profitable. The COWS
have the water before them whenever
thay want it and they will drink little

But If the trough is in the yard and

fast. Like humans they want to drink
as soon as through eating. 1t will
make a difference of at least a quart

three hours before Watering, SAYS
Farm and Home. In herds of 30 or
nor COWS it will pay to have two or
th'e" watering troughs or at least a
large round tank in the middle of the
yard, Always avoid placing the wa
ter trough in or neal a corner. This
position frequently results in the loss
OF injury of a critter by hooking.

PROTECTED MILK PAIL.
Convenient and Sanitary Method of
Protecting the Milk from
Dirt.

That many of the odors and much
of the dirt which gets into milk Is
during the process of milking, most of
us know, hence every %precaution TO
overcome this should be taken. One
of the best methods of protecting the
milk in the pail is to arrange a cover
of tin and cheese cloth, says the In
dianapolis Sentinel. Have a tin cover
made to go over tLs pail loosely so
as to allow for the space taken by the
cloth strainer. The tin cover should

Good Drainage.

The better the farm Ii drained the
less will be the loss of fertility

drained farm is very subject To wash

the water is drawn down through the
soil, the soil particles are not moved.
Rivers supplied by such drains would

THE PROPAGANDA OF DISARMAMENT.

While preparations are being made FOR thls
grand naval display there are some earnest
statesmen at work spreading a propaganda OF
disarmament. Mr.. Burton, OF Ohio, a iorcetul
member of the house, who was largely lnstrn,
mental in having postponed the construction OF
the big 0,0G0 ton battlcship until congress could
pass on the plans, is one of the leaders in the
movement to put a stop to the building up OF the
navies of the world. At the coming session OF the
lnter-ParliameEtary Union in London Mr.. Bur.
ton expects to exploit a practical plan for dis
armament.
Mr.. Burton proposes If possible to obtain an
agreement by the representatives of the various
p~arliamentS who will meet in London with the
idea that their recommendation will receive con.
stderation by The Hague conference which fol-
