The Bull Is one-HaIf of the Herd.

ter milk producers with their first
calves than are the average mature
COWS we can buy" Several of our
most progressive dairymen have said
practically the same thing.
Yet in the face of all this, hundreds
of dairymen make no effort to save
their best heifer calves, and they
think they have a reason. They say
it takes too much milk. This question
was carefully investigated with As
calves by the Illinois experiment sta
ton. Twelve calves at a time were
tested at four different times. 1t was
found they could be successfully raised
on $50 pounds of whole milk and 400
pounds of skimmilk. This milk was
fed at the rate of ten pounds per day
until the calves were so days old,
when it was gradually lessened one
pound per day for ten days and then
no more was fed. No substitutes for
milk were used. Only ordinary grains
which the farmer produces, and a
good quality of legume hay were fed,
showing that the dairyman can raise
a calf in this way with almost no *
ira trouble. Several of these calves
are now lows in milk and good pro
ducers, indicating that they were not
injured by this method of raising.

Ostrich, especially in high grades, is
q good investment for women who can
afford it. 1t will not grow less val
liable, but will be more expensive as
time goes on.
Although ostrich plumes hold first
place in the matter of decorations for
the hat and couture, ostrich tibers are
worked up into other decorative
pieces. Pompons and many airy
fancy branchings are seductively
placed on the latest millinery. In Fig.
/ a hat from a great French designer
is covered with spiral tufts of ostrich
and a plume that suggests in coloring
and form tossing seaweed.
In Fig. 2 the group of three up
standing plumes illustrates the ia
vorite way of all the myriad ways in
which plumes have been placed on
hats, a rich and stately decoration,
while in Fig. 3 a novel mounting is
shown-eccentric, but full Of style.

Out for a Drink.

"In no branch of the government
service are employees so vigorously
locked for absence as In the postof-
fice," said one Of them the other day.
working hours are kept track of even
to the merest fraction; so that lest
week when, ten minutes before closing
time, a clerk was summoned home be-
his child was dying, his absence
counted from the moment he received
the message. But for all this strict
ness they have eve stopped a GER
tain near-sighted old Irishman in my
department from going out for a drink.
He is willing to lose pay any day
rather than remain thirsty, and he
works the most amusingly childish
game of getting out. About twice a
week this hot weather he comes to my
desk blinking painfully and thrusts
under my nose a pair of old-fashioned
steel s~pectacles minus one lens.
There, sor,' he says, rubbing his eyes,
I've broken me spects ag'in and divil
a thing can l see till I run out and git
them mended!' So | smile and mark
him absent. In half an hour he's back
to report, perfectly unabashed at his
telltale breath, and gazing i%nnocently
at me through the smart gold trimmed
pincenez he always wears"

three years record of 405 pounds Of
butter fat per year, was making no et-
fort TO perpetuate her superior quail
ties but was selling her calves at $3.50
each. This is certainly a ruinous prac-
tice to the dairy business.
The cow buyer cannot get enough
really good COWS to supply his pur-
chasers, as but few of the best cows
are for sale. The datryman himself
must raise the heifer calves of his
best COW and not depend on any
body's offerings to replenish his herd.
He has the breeding stock, the feed
cheap feed-and the equipment. Calf
raising is a natural part of his bust
ness. 1t is absurd to suppose that as
a rule he can buy as good COWS as he
a raise. The reasons are plain. He
needs to retain but few calves each
year and can sell the l~ess-promising
ones. He knows the ~parentage of the
calves and need save none but those
from hig%h-producing mothers. 1t is
far easier to sell inferior stock Ito the
butcher) than to buy COWS that are
excellent producers.
A prominent dairyman of the state
says of his grade herd: The heifers
we raise from our best COW are bet

QUALIFICATIONS OF
A GOOD IRRIGATOR
BY John C. Hall.

When farming is carried on by ir-
rigation, the question of getting a good
and efficient man to spread the water
is a serious one. A man possessing
the knowledge, in the first place, of
how to run out the bitches in a field
of small grain for instance. Before
he can do this he must be a practical
irrigator. He must be able to know
from looking at the land to be irri-
gated from what quarter or direction
the water will come onto this eleva-
ton or that elevation, and be able to
run the bitches in the field according
ly. His bitches must be run onto the
high places, also have a fall of at least
IN inch in 100 feet.
The old saying that water will run
uphill in an irrigated country is UNI
true. Water can be delivered from
n hill to another by e of a
dyke, siphon, pipe or trough, provid-
ing the place of delivery is lower; II
higher it requires pressure to deliver
1t to a higher point.
Great care must be taken to get the
bitches where all the ground can be
covered with water, also moi to pillow
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1908-09-17

up any more crops than is absolutely
necessary, keeping, if possible, the
bitches along roadsides, fences, etc.
Now, with the bitches properly run
on a piece of ground, the next ques
ton is to get a sufficient quantity OF
water to travel over the land faster
than the spot which is being irrigated
will consume it. With the water
turned on it is customary to run it
night and day until the field is irri-
gated.
In my experience l find the greatest
difficulty is in finding a man that has
a disposition to do the required work.
What is the required work? Get I'D at
four o'clock in the morning, go out
and change the water from the place
it has been running all night. Irrigate
the short run in day time, leaving the
long runs for the night; shoveling out
the ditch; ~shoveling up the ditch
banks; putting in wing bitches to
reach a high spot, or doing whatever
is necessary to improve the condi.
ton.
The writer of this article has car
ried his blankets into the field and
partially slept for a short time within
40 rods of his own house so that the
water could be changed every hour
during the night In time of scarcity.
In conclusion | wish to say an irri-
gator possessing the knowledge of ir.
rigation and the qualities mentioned
above is a jewel and a blessing to his
employer at almost any price.

By j. o. Pagan


stories about the intelligence of these
colored balloons, claim that the en-
bassy Of the maiden was merely a
trick to seduce him from his 81
legiance to his b~enefactress and that,
on his first visit to the kloof, Stoffel
was Immediately appointed to the
leadership of the baboon army on &C
count of his preeminent intelligence
and knowledge of the outside world.
One day a horseman galloped up to
the store and reported that wal had
broken out between the Beers and the
Macatees and that the balloons in the
pass were evidently aware of the fact,
for swarms of them were coming down
for trouble. Ten days later the Beers
were defeated with considerable loss
at Johannes Kop and, encouraged by
the tidings, the Mapock Kafirs flew to
arms and rushed up the valley towards
Steelpoort, burning and staying. At
their approach the m and chill
dren on the farms fled in terror, and
just before nightfall nearly 100 of
these panic-stricken refugees entered
the pass, with a large commando of
Kafirs close at their heels.
The story of the encounter that fol-
lowed between the balloons and the
Kafirs is derived partly from the ac-
count of the Boer women, but prin-
cipally from a survey of the battle
field on the following day. A few of

the hindmost of the refugees had al
ready been captured when, in passing
through a narrow defile, the Kafirs
were assaulted by a fierce rain of
stones from the surrounding cliffs. I'm
dismayed, the Kafir horde pressed on,
but the roadway beneath them had
been undermined, and when enormous
powders, falling hundreds of feet
through the air, smashed through the
thin crust, great pits were laid bare,
into which the Kafirs h%oundered, and
were then mercilessly pelted with
fusillades of sharp-pointed rocks. But
the real fighting occurred when the
Kafirs, filled with dismay at tine
carnage that ensued in the pits, en-
deavored to retreat.
On the following morning a very
pathetic sequel to the battle occurred
when Stoffel, %grievously wounded,
dragged himself back to his old home
at the store. 1t was a painful and use
less journey, for the buildings had
been burned to the ground and nothing
remained but the smouldering embers.
But Stoffel had come home for g
definite purpose. He at once began
to scrape and dig among the ruins
until he succeeded in finding a few
rags and a small bottle containing
some liquid. Tenderly he stanched
the flow Of blood with the rags and
emptied some of the fluid into the
wound. Feeling no better from the
application, he sought other rags ant
another bottle. His faith in the rene
dy was supreme. In this way his eyes
had been cured, and in many Other
cases he had Witnessed the successful
application of rags and bottles. But
growing weaker and weaker, hi.
thoughts naturally turned to his kinC
foster-mother. D~espairingly, hi
glanced from side to side. Many
time he had watched for her home
coming. Then he tucked his pitifu
face under his forearm and curleC
himself up, just like a dog going tt
sleep. Looking down upon him you coulC
have counted the almost i~mperceptibl'
heart beats under the gray, shagg!

EYEsIGHT WAS IN DANGER
From Terrible Eczema-Baby's Head
a Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by C%uticura.

"Our little girl was two months old
when she got a rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead of
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall off.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old,
then l had her under u family doc
tors care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old / started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
two months our baby vas a different
girl. You could not see a sign Of a
sore and she was as fair as a new
born baby. She has not had a sign Of

BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL.
Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou.
sands of Devout Pilgrims.

Thousands of pilgrims from the va
rious outlying villages and other parts
Of the Hooghly district poured in from
an early hour in the morning to the
temples of Jagernath, says the Cal.
cutta Statesman.
The image of the god is placed on
a conspicuous part of the temple, so
that it can be viewed at an advantage
by the immense crowd of pilgrims,
and there at a certain fixed hour the
bathing ceremony commences.
The most curious part of the festi-
val is that water is not poured on the
image of the god until a certain small
bird is found sitting on the topmost
banner of the temple. There is a pop
ular belief that the bird comes from
Puri, the famous place of Hindu pilgrim
age, to Maheoh on the day of this
festival, and his very presence is an
indication that the ceremony should
commence. Immediately after the
bath the bird disappears.

inexpensive Frock.

When one wishes to make up a
frock from the inexpensive striped or
colored lawns in a simple model there
is nothing prettier than a skirt pulled
into the belt and tucked about the
bottom; the waist made In baby effect
and topped by a perfectly plain yoke
made from white dotted swiss. The
outer edge can be cut into battlements
and trimmed with a little lace frill;
the sleeves, elbow length, confined
with cuffs matching the yoke. This
combination will be much prettier
than a cheap lace.

To Be Agreeable.

The girl who gets a grievance, who
feels herself i'll used, who is quite sure
that nobody understands her, has a
mental ailment and needs treatment.
Now, I am going to prescribe.
The best cure is action. Fill every
hour of the day with interests. Acquire
a hobby (many people speak slight.
ingly of a hobby, but a hobby is a
great thing). Throw yourself with en-
thusiasm into all you do. Try to make
everybody you meet happy. Forget
that you yourself exist, and the first
thing you know you will acquire that
wholesome, happy state of mind which
is the most beneficial of traits.
