school and the first floor for the
grades from the fourth to the
eighth. The high school pupils will
enter by the north door and the
grade pupils by the east door.
With these improved sanitary con-
ditions, better light, more room, a
more complete separation of the diff
ferent departments, fuller equip
ment, and pleasant and attractive
rooms, our children should progress
more rapidly in their physical,
mental and moral development.
The following is a list of the

CARE OF CALVES.
Why Seven Guernsey Heifers Were
Sold at Good Prices.


Sold at Good Prices.
In March last two men came into
this neighborhood looking for grade
dairy calves, says correspondent of
Hoard's Dairyman. They were men
who knew what they wanted. They
purchased seven grade Guernsey heif-
ers, dropped last fall. of one man and
paid him an average of $24.2s for the
lot. At the same time they said they
could purchase calves Of the same
breeding and age of neighboring farm
ers for from $40 to SIS apiece.
What made this difference in price?
Simply the way the calves were han
died. The seven calves were handled
as follows:
They were kept dry and clean with
plenty of fresh bedding every night
and their quarters we'll kept, we'll dis
infected.
They were fed skim milk, fresh from
the separator, after the first ten days,
with a little ground flaxseed and blood
meal added.
When the milk was fed they were
put LII SlduCulOuS duu Tie Mllk SET De-
fore them in pals. Afterward they
were given a small feed of oats, fol-
lowed by alfalfa hay But the great
care was to keep them dry and clean.
As soon as they were through eating
their oats they were let out Of the
stanchions and ran together loose in
the compartment.
They were fed milk morning and
evening. When sold they were in
fine, clean condition, but not fat.
They consumed apiece in the six
months they were kept about $500
pounds of skim milk, 81 worth Of oats,
50 worth Of alfalfa hay and faxseed
meal and so cents worth Of blood
meal
After paying for the oats, hay, flax
seed meal and blood meal, $3.50, and
allowing So for the value of the calf.
when week old-the price allowed by
calf buyers-we have SITS per calf
as pay for $500 pounds of skim milk
and the labor.
Twelve calves were kept in the CON-
partment. Does it pay to make lit
tie study of calf life?
Mower County transcript., 1907-08-28
Feeding Milk Cattle.

Green food seems to demand more
salt than dry. 1t does not cost much.
The cows should have all they will
use. The cow of good milking strain,
with good appetite, will do her best
If she has plenty Of variety in feed
which she enjoys. The more food con-
sumed the more milk she will give.
Feeding Alfalfa Hay.
At an experiment station it was
found that the cost of producing milk
and butter could be greatly reduced
by replacing part Of the concentrates
in the daily ration of the COW, with
some roughness rich in protein. such as
alfalfa or cowpea hay. In substitute
ing alfalfa hay for wheat bran it will
be best in practice to allow one and
one-half pounds Of alfalfa to each
pound Of wheat bran, and if the alfalfa
is fed in finely chopped condition the
results will prove more satisfactory.
Dry Feed In Summer.
Cows seem to long for dry feed In
summer and even when in luxuriant
pasture will eat considerable hay of
very common quality If it is supplied
them night and morning in the barn.
Dry hay is an excellent regulator Of
the diet and should be furnished as
long as the cows will eat it. With a
fair amount Of dry feed the pasture
will maintain an increased amount of
stock in full yield Of milk.
The SiIo Question.
The silo provides feed that COWS
will eat freely because it tastes good,
not because they are starved to 1t,
said noted dairyman. II dried corn
were considered as good al canned corn
we wonder why some Of our factories
pay out $125.OOO or more per season
for tin cans all Of them to be thrown
In the ditch when emptied. In like
manner, il dry fodder is as good and
valuable as silage, why do the best
dairymen all over the country buy
silos? They are keen business men-in
fact, the business men are the first to
see the silo merits.
A Cow Ration.
q well known eastern dairyman says:
For cows weighing 1000 pounds and
giving Is pounds Of per cent milk
daily ration consisting Of 25 pounds
silage, 10 pounds mixed hay, 4 pounds
each corn and oats and I pound Of
c0ttonseed meal would be about right.

CulIino the Herd.

It is the constant aim of progressive
dairymen to improve their herds, and
such improvement must depend large
ly upon culling the herd and getting
rid of the improbable animals. From
'the breeders standpoint records are
especially valuable in assisting in find
ing customers for their stock. Many
buyers insist on seeing records Of dai-
ry performance before purchasing.

this the roof trusting in the attic
had to be changed. This necessit-
ated a good deal of work but was ac-
comolished with no difficulty and with
out weakening the building. Consider
able other work was done in the at
tic to accommodate the rearrange-
ment Of the heating and ventilating
fiues. The old cloak room for the
boys has been extended to the
west taking off the southeast cor
ner OF Miss Robbins room and con-
Meeting with the high school room
by means Of the door in the middle
OF the north wall of the original
high school room. This will be the
principals office. Miss Robbins
room will be reached by the door in
the northwest corner. A platform
extends nearly the entire width of
the room between the doors with an
opening to enter the principals Of
fice
The two rooms on the northeast,
formerly used for the eighth grades,
are fitted up for science laboratories.
The partitions shutting off the attic
stairways at the east and north have
been removed, the stairways mar
rOwed, and the stair railing con-
tinued to the third floor. BY so doing
the hallway is made lighter. Addi-
tional light is admitted to hall and
cloak rooms through glass panels
placed in the doors leading from the
various rooms. To facilitate the
moving of classes, several dOorways
have been cut.
The small room about the middle
of the west side has been converted
into a toilet room for the girls, and
the cloak room across the hall has
been made into a boys toilet room.
The girls cloak room has been en-
larged by the removal of partitions
and extends north to the door lead
ing into the old laboratory. The
high school boys have for their use
the two grammar school cloak rooms,
one at the north of the building and
the other between the high school
and room No. II.
The vestibules at the north and
the east entrances have been en-
larged and glass placed in the inner
doors. Prismatic glass has been SUBJ
stituted for the colored glass in the
north and east hall windows.
The superin tendent's Office has
been moved to the northwest corner
on the first floor. 1t is reached by
a separate stairway leading from the
north vestibule This makes it ac-
cessible when the rest of the build
ing is closed. Adjoining the Office
is book and supply room.
One of the narrow cloak rooms in
the center of the first floor has been
removed and a stairway built to the
basement by which the grade boys
will reac htheir new toilet room
which is made from the south half
of what was the girls toilet room.
The north half is the new toilet
room for the girls. The latest and
most approved fixtures and plumb
ing have been installed. Sanitary
drinking fountains have been placed
on each floor. No cups are used, the
children drinking by placing the
mouth to the flowing water.
The entire building has been re-
decorated.
The two northeast rooms in the
basement are being fitted up for the
manual training department.

have the piece of worked spoiled IN any
way OF course 1t is scarcely likely
that children playing about and on the
monument would do it lasting injury,

about 1t there is possibility that a
corner might be knocked Off or fine

the children coafine their amusement 10

that the city hall park is not at the

grounds around the Burns memorial
either, The grass and the appearance
Of this plot Of ground have suffered
