is'MAySlNu 81 & 900 3 COW.
FIrtk FifteSn Months of. Catf's Life
DetermInes Her Future.

4 A wise old dairy farmer once said
to Gov. Hoard, THE COW Is either
made or unmade in the first is
months OF her life.'e Questioned far.
.therah he stated that he had come to his
conclusion after years OF observation
and practice. He had noticed this:
That where . farmer took the best
possible care Of his heifer calves, kept
them dry ana clean, fed them well on
good growing food and kept them
going In a strong, growthy manner, II
they were well bred from good dairy I
stock, nearly all would make good
cows, whereas, II they were ever 80
well bred, II they were neglected, and
badly cared for, It was rarely any Of
them would make good COWS.
1--WE believe firmly in the truth Of
what this old farmer said" adds Gov.
Hoard. More good cows are spoiled
by neglect, insufficient food, during
the first 15 months than from any
other cause.
Good blood, dairy heredity and all
that Is necessary. 1t is the founda-
tion. But II we are going to make.
good cows out of these heifers we
must pay close attention to how we
start them on the road.
For years we have been rearing
heifer calves. Some of them we baye
sold and some Of them we have kept.
We are greatly impressed by our ex-
perience with the truth Of the old
farmers theory. It is true that we
take great pains thaa the heifer shall
be well born. But that is only half
the proposition, the first half.
III she is to have good, large capac.
ity she must be steadily we'll nour-
ished from the beginning to the time
she is first in calf. This done she has
q greatly Increased chance OF profit to
her owner. In buying heifers 1t is
worth good deal to know how they
have been reared. OF one thing we
are certain, and that Is that It pays to
feed the heller skim milk daily till
she Is 10 to IL months old, together
with pint to a. quart of oats. Such
feeding with good care turns out
much finer cows than does the treat.

New Jersey lives up TO it's reputa
tion for producing original citizens
The latest case in point is that OF
Peter Mowry, an engineer on the Del
aware, Lackawanna & Western rail
road. One day when his train reached
Millburn he discovered that he did moi
have water enough to carry him tc
the next water tank. He hesitated
only moment, then jumped out OF
his cab and disappeared. Before he
climbed back to his seat the fire en-.
gines came tearing down the street
toward the station. In reply to the
foreman, who. asked where the fire
was, Mowry explained his needs, and
said he had pulled the alarm because
he thought maybe the fire company
could run hose to hydrant and fill
his tank. He did not judge his fellow
Jerseymen wrongly, for the hose was
unwound and he soon had all the wa.
ter he needed

Wanton slauahter Of Game.

Kill! Kill! Kill! The word is on
every tongue from the time the big
game season opens in the far west
until 1t closes, two months later.
Every mans hand seems to be against
the wild things of the mountains-th
harmless wild things which lend to
the forest half it's charm. If 1t were
the aim of the people to exterminate
could not kill with more avidity. The
question of skill does not enter into
1t. If an elk is close enough to SINCE
his hair with the powder, no matter,
kill him! If the pack horses are al.
ready loaded to the limit, If not q
pound of the meat is to be touched, il
the head is worthless as trophy and
the horns valueless, no matter, kill
just the same. The law permits each
person his two elk, 20 take the limit!
If an animal is crippled, do not bother
to trail him, let him go; the wolves
will pull him down eventually, or he
will fall and starve-that elk with the
shattered shoulder or the deer with
the dragging hind leg. What does it
matter to you if, comparatively few
years hence, the elk tracks and the
print Of the deers pointed hoof are
gone forever, If the forests are de.
pleted and silent and pair of antlers
has become a curiosity? You have
had your sport. And this, exclaims
Caroline Lockhart in Lippincott's, is
the way in which nine-tenths of the
people reason who hunt in the big.
game season. The real sportsman lie
not a menace to the game; he is its
best friend, its protector. He is as
jealous of it as though it were his own
property, and he has clearly defined
code of honor in regard to the killing
Of it. But real sportsmen are rare in
the big.game country.

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Llfe's Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com
pany announces that its new paid
business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
AS the new law allows no life COM
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, 1t would ap-
pear that this company is working
nearly UP to the limit. The New
York Life gained such headway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
so little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation. that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath-
er than how to reach 1t. No other
company Is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments TO policy
holders during the six months end
Ing Juno 80 were $21,860.761. 1t is
Interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death.
claims were $11.1S0,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu.
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
SIC, 0,480,135. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, en-
braces wide field, and covers many
contingencies. 1t is money saved for
the aged, as well as money provided
for the families of those who die pre-.
maturely.

occupstlsh Properly Recorissxsd
One ef The Professions.

The farmer who Is not an amateur
Is q really increasing factor in to-
days life. In fact, farming is rapidly
becoming one OF the professions. We
have our agricultural schools, Just as
we have our law schools.

other manufacturers. x (. Il:
1t is a far cry from the New Eng.

to plant his crop, and that master OF
capital, science, and black earth ten
feet deep who plows with a traction
engine and reaps with ten horse

of farmers the drift is steadily toward
the latter.
The comic paper does not laugh at
the granger" as frequently as It used
to laugh. 1t wants his subscription.
The capitalist does not foreclose
mortgages on the prairie farm now.
He borrows money Of its owner.
And, what is vastly more impor-
tant, the entire country looks with a
respect bordering upon apprehension
on this new type Of American who
has decided views on railroads, trusts,
and, In fact, on every subject, from
the "green bug" to the lecturer at his
Chautauqua. This rise Of the farmer
into national significance is welcome
in view of the inundation Of great
cities by immigrants who have sig

DR.. Marade, the French inventor OF

women can talk longer, and faster,
and harder than men is because their
larynges are narrower. He asserts
that there is need for a tremendous

broad larynX-that an orator talking
to big crowd does as much work as
a porter who shoulders 400 pounds.
On this basis there are several gen.
