After q long illness Rena, the oldest
daughter Of Fred E. Blaisdell and wife,
passed away at her home here Tuesday,
June 16, at 10 p. N, aged eighteen years,
one month and one day. Rena was an
exceptionally brighttand interesting girl,
very ambitious, and Of loyable DISPOSE
ton. Notwithstanding much Of her life
had been hampered by poor health, she
always maintained a cheerful disposition
which made her a universal favorite at
home and elsewhere. Her illness was
characterized by great patience and
Christian fortitude, and she was hopeful
to the very last, though calmly resigned to
the will of God. She will be greatly
missed in the home and the neigh Dor hood,
and her quiet, unassuming manner will
never be forgotten. The family has the
sympathy of the entire community.

Curious Indian Custom.

The following curious custom is re-

monograph on the sociology of the
Omaha Indians:
In the spring when the grass comes
up there is a council or tribal assem-
bly, held to which a feast is given by
the head Of the Hanga geno. After
they decide that planting time has
come and at command of the Hanga
man crier is sent through the vii

each household he gives two or three

MAKE IT GRADUAL.
Changing from Whole to Skim Mil,
in Feeding the Calf.

The change from whole to skim milk
in feeding the calf should be made
by withholding small amount Of milk
the first day, more the second, and SO
on. The amount withheld is thus grad
ually increased from day to day. An
amount Of skim milk must be added,
at least equal in quantity of new milk
withheld, until the change has been
completed.
Some substance should be added as
soon as the change begins that will
supply an equivalent in the fat con.
tained in the new milk withheld. No
substance has been found superior for
such use to linseed meal. that is,
ground flaxseed. Oil meal will answer
the same purpose, and is far more
frequently fed than ground fax, for
the reason probably that it is relative
ly cheaper. When the latter is used
it is necessary to feed larger quan.
tity than the former.
In some instances the meal thus
added is stirred in the milk, but in
other instances, as when the calves
have learned to take meal before the
change from new to skim milk has
begun, it is simply added to the meal.
Sometimes the flaxseed is made into
a jelly, and this fed along with the
milk.
This practice was common years
ego. but it is not SO much practiced
now, since separator milk has come to
be SO extensively available. The
jelly was usually warmed before it
was put into the milk. and this helped
to warm the latter when cold. The
amount to be fed may be regulated for
time. at least, by the influence that
the meal or the jelly exercise on the
digestion. II too much is fed the d.
gestion will be unduly lax. Prof
Thomas Shaw.

SHORT DAIRY TALKS.

A money-making combination is the
warm skim milk.
Avoid feeding hay or dusty rough.
age just previous to milking. There
is too much dust to drop into the milk
pail.
Dairying is ready money business,
and no other branch of live stock
keeping can compare with it for en-
riching the farm.
Three common faults in butter max.
ing are over-ripe cream, over-churning

Fattenina Calves for Veal.

AS a result Of some London expert
month is as long as it is advisable
