Calf Ration Without Milk.

Calves that have made a reasonable
growth and are in good condition can
get along very nicely without milk
after they are three months old.
However il it can be had at a reas-
enable expense, skim milk is very
useful food for them even until they
are four or five months old. AS skim
milk is a growing food. it should be
substituted with some kind of nitro
genous food, as oats, mill feed, clover
hay, or linseed meal The calves
should also have free access to fresh
waters at all times. They should also
be kept in comfortable quarters and
provided with an abundance OF feed,
and 1t Is very necessary that they
have sufficient room in which to exer-
else. This room should be purified
by good circulation of fresh air and a
liberal supply Of sunlight. The calves
should also be so provided with salt
that they can help themselves to suit
their pleasure.

HOW IT CAME ABOUT.

\A'AOuA lily OO0AAolI
A rich man who had always been
considered erratic by his neighbors
had murdered his wife and stepson
the night before. It was an atrocious
crime. Following the double murder
the man had attempted self-execution
but failed. He was arrested and was
safely in Jail, with the prospect that
the law would take it's course with
him. OF course there was excitement
and indignation that such crime
should have disturbed law abiding
community. People gathered and
talked about the affair. How they
were worked up to point Of excite
ment that eliminated in an actual
lynching is suggested in the dispatches
from Charles City.
The talk drifted from the enormity
of the present crime to discussion Of
similar crime committed in that
neighborhood number of years ago.
In the first instance a rich man also
had murdered his wife in cold blood.
His money bought good lawyers, and
the good lawyers utilized the laws
delay" The criminal had been found
guilty and the death penalty imposed.
He was sentenced five times and each
time reprieved. The case reached the
supreme court twice. 1t was in the
courts four years. Only a few days
ago, on recommendations Of five of
the six supreme court judges. the
sentence was committed by the
governor to life imprisonment. At
the time the Communication excited
only languid interest, but now the
col
that here also was rich man, able
to hire good lawyers. They suggest
ed that if the law were allowed to
take its course. there would be delay.
Conditions We're favorable for an in
sanity plea. The best citizens were
sure the murderer was not insane.
They thought he deserved the death
penalty. Men said grimly to one an
other: I'VE want no repetition of
the Busse case" Presently pretty
much everybody was in the same
frame Of mind, and the decision to take
the law into the peoples hands was
reached The officers of the law had
entertained no fears Of a lynching in
Iowa. The rest was easy.
It may be that from the viewpoint
of justice the supreme court judges
were quite right in recommending
leniency for Louis Busse. 1t may be,
as was suggested at the time. that
the death penalty in Iowa ought to
be done away with altogether. The
fact seems to remain that out of that
case, with its long drawn out trial
and eventual reversal of the jury's
verdict, there grew up a lack of con-
4dapon IN the efficiency Of the law
that induced the citizens Of Charles
City to take the law into their own
hands in the Cullen case. The moral
is the same old moral that Iowa has
often pointed out for the benefit Of
presumably less enlightened states. A
law abiding people must have conf

his honor and refused to be used by

A cheap Manure Shed.

We have had several letters re-
Gently from farmers who realize that
their barn-yard manure is being
wasted, who ask for plans of a cheap
manure shed. There are too many
farmers who are satisfied with throw
ing their stable manure out of the
door, allowing the rain and sun to act
upon it. Here Is cheap but sensible
building that will almost entirely pre-
vent such losses. The roof is ten
feet square, made Of plain boards,
and is supported eight feet above the
ground by posts at each corner. Stakes
are set near these posts at each end,
against which one end of the end
planks rest. This will allow the front
of the shed to be removed either wadle
filing or loading the spreader later on.
It can be placed close enough to the
barn to make it convenient to throw the
manure directly into it from the stable

The SPIRIT OF INVESTIGATION.

Senator Bailey's protest against a
legislative investigation, and the popu-
lar insistence that such an investiga-
ton shall be conducted, are indicative
Sof growing feeling that is certain to
cause ring politicians much worriment
( and woe Senator Bailey insists that
his transactions have been ION the
square" His friends, are arguing that
I his vindication is complete. The peo-
4 pie OF Texas however, like those Of
I Missouri, desire to be shown. They
are 10Th to trust the politicians.
Time was when the word of a sem
ator would have stood against the voice
of accusation. The day has gone by.
4 We have fallen upon an age OF poll
ticians rather than statesmen. The
trickery, debauchery and ill-faith Of
the professional politician have engen-
dered popular suspicion of even the
better men Of affairs. The voters are
demanding a look into the books. 1t
will not suffice longer to enter denial
of sinister motive in cases where the
circumstances are suspiciously indica-
tive of wrong doing and treachery. The
spirit Of investigation is abroad and
actively alert Perhaps it is abnorm-
ally wide awake. II SO, the men and
methods whom it is pursuing are re-
sponsible. We are coming to regard
our representatives more as public SER
wants and less as leaders; to feel that
1t Is as sensible to investigate a sena-
tor as to check over the books Of a
bank clerk. When men struggle to
avoid settlement and checking over
OF their work, they offer confirmation
to suspicion.
The political mariner who steers his
course by the street lamps on the COR
ners is responsible for his own trou-
bles. Craftsmanship sets its course by
the fixed stars OF principle, not the
guttering candles Of political and par
tisan expediency.

In remarkable report, published
as q bulletin by the bureau of animal
industry of the department of agricul-
ture, warning is sounded as to the dam
ger Of tuberculosis being communicate

The bulletin embodies report OF
experiments that have been conducted
by DR.. E. G. Schroeder and w. E. Cot

bureau Of animal industry. They have

shown that tuberculosis may readily

what channel the baccilli gain en-

facts were demonstrated having an
important bearing on the communities

The experts as a result Of their In

is contracted thru the entrance of
tubercule bacilli; that the lung is the
organ most frequently affected, re-
CARELESS of where the infectious ma
terial enters the body; that tubercu-
losis infection may pass from one part
of the body to another without leav-
ing chain of LESSONS to mark its path:
that fresh tubercle material has the
highest Significance, and that dried and
pulverized material has doubtful sig
nificance. These important conclu-
sions in regard to the cattle and dairy
products are drawn:
Tuberculosis material from cattle
has the highest virulence for all tested
species of the mammalian kingdom, to
which man anatomically and physi-
ologically belongs and tuberculosis ma
terial from man has lower virulence.
Man is constantly exposed to fresh tu-
berculosis material in a helpless way
thru his use of dairy products from
tuberculosis cows and cows associated
with tuberculosis cattle"

diaries and dairy products in cities the
