CALF SC0URS.
The New Renedy-How It Is Used b
Or. Klein of South Carolina.

The New Renedy-How It Is Used by
DR.. Klein of South Carolina.
AS pointed out by Z. a. Klein Of
the South Carolina experiment station,
one Of the most common difficulties
met with in raising calves on skim
milk is the persistent form of diar-
rllea commonly known as calf scours.
This disease is due to the action OF
various Preventative and putrefactive
bacteria in milk The inevitable result
of carelessness in handling milk is the
development of large numbers of bac-
terra in it. and this in turn leads to
calf scours, which always causes an
unthrifty condition in the calf and may
often produce death. Proceeding on
the basis of the results Of inyestlga-
tons already made BY others on the
influence of formalin on disease germs
and on digestion, when administered
in small amounts in milk. DR.. Klein
treated twelve milk fed calves affected
with scours by adding formalin to the
milk in the proportion of one part to
4,o00 parts of milk This dilution may
be readily obtained by pouring five
tenths of an ounce Of formalin into fif-
teen aud five-tenths ounces of water
From this stock solution one teaspoon
full Is added to each pint or pound Of
milk to be fed to the affected calf.
From the experiments it appeared
that the results are practically the
same whether the formalin solution IS
placed in the milk just before feeding
the calf or Immediately after the skim
milk is received from the separator
Apparently, however, it was advisable
to add the formalin to the milk imlne
aiately after separation.
OF the twelve calves treated in this
way eleven recovered without any
further treatment seven Of them en-
the second day, three on the third day
and one on the ninth day. II further
tests show that formalin causes no in
jury to calves, this method may furnish
an effective means Of controlling
scours.

The rubber plant is a beauty for a
decorative specimen and bears dust,
gas, heat almost anything but over
watering in winter and freezing. Give
such plants roomy pots, rich soil and
generous treatment. Keep plants free
from insects. Keeping them clean will
do it. Keep the soil free from worms.
Woodsoot tea will do this Do not
starye them. A teaspoonful of bone
-four to a FIVE inch pot, worked into
the soil once a month and followed by
an immediate watering, just enough to
wash it down well into the soil, will
nourish them Do not crowd them.
Turn them frequently toward the light
to keep them symmetrical Give them
fresh air daily without exposing them
to drafts. Exchange

1t Has Been TficroughIy Tested In
Northern States.
Some fifteen years ago a new nut
tree was introduced under the name Of
Japan walnut, or Juglans sieboldiana.
Although not very commonly planted,
it has been quite thoroughly tested in
ali of the northern states according to
American Agrlculturist The tree is Of
rapid growth, with thick branches and
very large leaves. In a general way it
resembles the walnut and butternut,
but is of more luxuriant growth. The
trees appear to be entirely hardy and
present something of a subtropical APP
pearance While they develop most
rapidly upon a rich loan soil, such as
is commonly known as black walnut
land, they thrive under almost any

MASTERS CONFERENCE.
Some Questions Considered That Are
Worth While.

Worth While.
A masters conference was called for
Feb. 1 under the auspices of the Am
herst (Mass.l grange, of which Profess
or T. A. Waugh of the college is mas
fer. Among the questions discussed
were the following:
QUESTIONS OF GRANGE ADMINS
TRATION.
How can we secure better attendance
at grange Ineetfngs2
How can we improve the ritualistie
work in our subordinate oranges?
Can we do something more than we
have vet done to famiIiarize our members
with good parliamentary practice?
Should the grange seek to add to its
membership persons who are not inter-
ested in agriculture?
What special service should past mas
ters render in subordinate oranges?
QUESTIONS OF PUBLIC SERVICE.
What specific things can our subor-
dinate oranges do to improve the agr1-
culture in our towns?
Can our oranges undertake to promote
any practical reforms in the various
towns-sllch, for instance. as village inn
provement, enforcement Of the liquor
law, etc.
Is it practicable for the local oranges
in any way to cooperate with the
churches toward the solution Of any spe-
cifie problems in civic betterment?
Can the subordinate oranges cooperate
with one another in any way to secure
the benefits of district nursing for their
own members or for others2
Can the grange cooperate with the
school authorities toward the improve
nent of our schools? Shall we do any
thing toward the establishment Of school
gardens? Shall we favor other forms Of
agricultural teaching in our country
schools? II so, what?
Can the grange help in the improve
ment of town libraries? Should we and
can we secure more agricultural and
rural books for our local libraries?
Can the subordinate oranges organize
reading courses for their members? If
so, how can they be conducted?
These are all intensely practical
questions for discussion in any confer
ence, Pomona or subordinate grange
meeting, and we commend their con-
sideration to all lecturers who may
read them here

Dairy Talk Of Today.

The handling of milk the first few
hours after it has come from the COW
has a great influence On its quality and
the commercial value of the products
made from it. The care of milk seems
a simple matter, but better methods III
our dairies are Of the greatest impor-
lance to the success and reputation Of
American dairying.
Testing of Dairy Cows.
Officially authenticated testing Of dali
ry cows is becoming more and more
the leading feature Of the work OF
breeders. These tests are regarded by
the public as the true index Of the
value and Of the capacity of all breeds.
Practical dairymen are placing abso-
lutte reliance upon them as an invalua-
Bile aid in the selection of sires with
which certainly to improve the capaci-
ty and profitable production of their
cows.
Dairy Products In Demand.
The greatest profit is i'll selling milk
and cream to customers, the next IN
having annual customers who will take
either cheese or butter as it is made,
Then follows the selling of cream to
the creamery and, lastly, butter to the
store trade as one can catch the mar
ket There seems to be constantly
increasing demand for the products
of the dairy which keeps pace with the
increase of cows. There is a bright
prospect ahead for all who wish to en-
gage in this great branch of agricul-
lures. F. Emerson.
Where the Expense Comes In.
Professor w. J. Fraser of the Illinois
College of Agriculture says, ut is what
the farmer does not know about his
COWS that hurts" If he knew how ex-
pensive it is to Keep a poor COW, he
would not do it. Twenty-Five good
cows viii earn more net than a hun
dred moderately good cows and more
than 1000 poor cows. The poor cows
win not pay their way. In one case the
cows will keep the farmer; in the other
the farmer will keep the cows
The Milking Machine.
The Farmers Advocate says: I'VE
did not believe in the efficiency of the
milking machine until we saw one at
work. Now that we have been shown
we cannot say too much in its favor.
There are milking machines and milk
ing machines, so be careful what you

Camera Discovers Measles.

 'I took a photograph the other day which for time puzzled me more than any picture I ever made" writes well known photographer. "The negative was goo1 but after developing it the face of the sitter was covered with small pim- ples. I could not account for them, for the girls complexion was clear and white, without the slightest appearance of any thing that would be likely to produce sucA a. result in negative The next day the young woman's mother called for the proof, and explained that her daughter had developed case of measles. I understood then that had encountered one of the mysteries of the camera.

Is New York Bankrupt?

From the New Broadway Magazine.
 Tn, total bonded debt of the United States is only s925 100000, and that of New York City is already more than half that of the national government. At the pres ent rate of increase the metropolis will have the larger indebtedness in five years.
 The total debts of all the states*i in the union amount only to $234 ,314 190 less than half that of the single city of New York. The total state, county and city indebted ness of the entire United States is less than three times that of the ely of mill lionaires.
 The grea military powers of the world are much concerned over China and her debt, and yet China has borrowed only s6l3, GOO against s50O,000,000 for New York. The entire Dominion of Canada owes only $271 100000, about equal to New Works increase in four years. Yet with all this stupendous debt the average citi- zen of Manhattan never gave the matter a second thought when he saw the of- hcial figures.
