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

find it is advisable to feed in one
manner the calf intended for the dairy
and to 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
must be carefully considered, as over
feeding will make the calf sick.
Calves are frequently unthrifty, and
the causes for this l find to be three:
Overlooking, under-feeding, and lice.
l believe that most of the mishaps
with calves are due to ignorance as
to how they should be fed. / make it
a point not to feed very cold milk to
the calves. To a four-weeks-old calf
intended for the dairy l find that Is
pounds of milk Is enough, though this
Of course will be regulated somewhat
by the size Of the calf. With this
milk l 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,

calves should know enough about ra.

growing calves food that will make
bone and muscle rather than fat.

When Elizabeth Blackwell began to study medicine, the women
at her boarding house refused to speak to her, and women passing
her on the street held their skirt; aside. When she began practice
in New York she had to buy a house, because no respectable boarding
or lodging house would take in a woman doctor.
When women began to speak in public against negro slavery, the
Congregational Minister'S association of Massachusetts, issued a pas
toral letter, declaring that the female character was threatened with
widespread and permanent deterioration because OF "the harangucs OF
female orators"
When Susan B. Anthony circulated a petition for a law to enable
married women to control their own earnings, Representative Bur
nett said in the New York legislature: These unscxed women are
seeking to destroy Christian marriage, and to erect on its ruins a
sort Of legaized adultery"
When Massachusetts in 1879 gave women the school vote, Senator
Wynne declared: IF we make this innovation we shall destroy the
race, which will be blasted by Almighty GodY'

would destroy it. After women have had the full ballot for 100 years

The party struggled along the rock

it to be the Savanna, which would lead
them to relief and safety. Worn out
by %incessant toll, Polanco and Kettle
we'll gave out, the latter begging to
be left behind. The men did not take
care of their rations, the Grenadians
had thrown away theirs and there was
but one days supply remaining. The
officers had some food left, and this
was divided among the party. Once
more the march was resumed, the
men struggling YEARLY through the
hills and dense forests.
Reluctantly Strain gave the order to
return to the river he had left and
there the first and last council of the
party was held. The conclusion was
reached that they were on the Lyle
sias, set down by Osborne as a branch
of the Savanna. There vas no trail
through the wilderness; three of the
men and one of the Grenadians were
utterly worn out. A few plantains
were found and divided. Eight birds

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 fed
and cared for. Few of us, however,
consider the necessity of having pure
water. 1t is as important that the
COWS have pure water as that we have
it in the house.
Impure water will affect the health
and product of the COW as quickly as
it will human beings, possibly quick.
er, for they drink more and take nc
other beverage. Cows in milk will
drink close to I've 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.
ing supply in the stable is very con.
venient and profitable. The cows
have the water before them whenever
they want it and they will drink little
and often.
But if the trough is in the yard and
the cows must be turned out to drink
let them out Immediately after break.
fast. Like humans they want to drink
as soon as through eating. 1t will
make a difference of at least a quart
of milk per COW if they have water
then or are kept in the stable two or
three hours before watering, says
Farm and Home. In herds of 80 or
more cows it will pay to have two or
three 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
or injury Of a critter by hooking.

length. On the sixteenth day an acid
nut was discovered, but it destroyed
the enamel of the teeth and the diges-
tive powers as we'll. Some turkeys
were shot and the stage was reached
where even the buzzards and cranes
were welcomed as food.
On the eighteenth day they had a
great misfortune. Truxton only was
i~ntrusted with the sole fishhook. He
gave it to Castillo, who turned 1t over
to one of the men. who broke it.
Strain said nothing beyond pointing
out the probable result. 1t cost many
lives, as the Chuquanaqua, when
reached, was full of fish, but there
were no means of catching any.
Small Craft Soon Wrecked.
On the twentieth day the Grena-
dams asked permission to return and
take a man with them. This was
granted and they were furnished with
good arms. Their idea was to reach
some New Grenadian settlement and
procure aid there. The party was
now reduced to nineteen persons and
the march was resumed. The Gre.
nadians rejoined the next day; they
had built a small craft, but it was
soon wrecked. The day after Strain
took three men to push their way
rapidly down the river and secure aid
for the rest of the party, leaving Mr..

PHYSICIAN SAYS
Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and
Cream.

A Mass. physician has found a cure
for constipation in children - citing
fifteen cases-by feeding them Grape
Nuts.
Some time ago." he writes, Il be.
came interested in your food, Grape
Nuts, as a cur for constipation in
children. Having tried it in my W
family, I have advised 1t in fifteen
cases in which all suffered with con.
stipation more or less severe. The re.
suit has been absolute relief in all.
Il write this that other children
may be benefited"
How much better it is thus to bring
about a healthy action in the bowels
of growing children by natural means,
than to feed them with improper food,
requiring some kind of cathartic at
intervals to overcome constipation.
Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en-
tire nervous system including the
nerves that cause the natural con.
traction and relaxation of the bowel
muscles, that propel the food mass
along.
1t is predigested also. and the blood
easily absorbs the food as it goes
4. through the body, storing up vitality
and force for the functions of all the
organs.
Children especially, should get the
right start as to habits of living
They should grow into bright, strong
cheerful men and women Grape.Nuts
solve the question Of the start; q
wholesome appetite will do the rest.
Children's teeth are benefited BY
chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your dent
list will tell you that a certain amount
of exercise in chewing firm food, Ii
necessary to grow strong, beautiful
teeth.
Teeth need exercise just the same
as muscles, II they are to grow
strong and firm as nature intended
Grape-Nuts gives the exercise and
also gives material from which goot
teeth are made.

it may be secured by a tape or by
slipping a hoop of sheet iron of prop

Convenient and Sanitary Method of

That many of the odors and much
of the dirt which gets into milk is
during the process of milking, most of

overcome this should be taken. One
of the best methods of protecting the
