American Hotel in Japan.

In the Hochi Shimbun we find a
paragraph suggesting that the ques-
ton Of hotel accommodation in view
of the great exhibition, is again at
tracing attention. There Is talk OF
a japanese syndicate obtaining a
grant of 10000 tsubo of land In the
vicinity of the Maple Club from the
Toxic municipality and there is also
talk of a foreign syndicate erecting
q hotel at Mukojima IN conjunction
with an American hotel company at
q cost Of 100000 yen.
But as yet these and other projects
do not seem likely to be carried out.
The fact is that hotel is not like
a tent, which can be set up and taken
down at will. The exhibition Of 1912
Is an exceptional event 1t will GER
tainly attract an unusual number Of
visitors, but when these have taken
their departure things will return to
their normal condition and there will
be little more need of hotel accom-
modations than there is today. That
consideration probably deters capital
lists from permanently sinking a
large sum to meet an ephemeral de-
mand. Japan Weekly Mail.

Raising Calves without Milk.

e. r., Quicksburg, Va, writes: /
would like to know If can raise a
calf only two weeks old without milk.
If so, what is the best food, also for
older calves?
Answer Calves have been raised
with fair success with the use Of very
little skim milk. 1t would be diff
cult undertaking to attempt to raise
calf only two weeks old without the
use Of milk. At the end of thirty days
fair substitute may be- made for
milk from hay tea. This is best pre-
pared by taking hay that has been
cut quite young, covering it well with
water, and covering it so as to ex-
tract the soluble food elements. The
tea should be boiled until it is in
quite a concentrated form, and then
some faxseed and wheat middlings
should be added to the tea to increase
the fattening and muscle forming ele-
ments in which hay tea is deficient.
Flaxseed jelly may be used to advan-
tage for this purpose. 1t is made by
adding boiling water to oil meal.
For calf thirty days old not more
than one-quarter pound should be
fed per day with an equal amount of
wheat middlings thoroughly stirred
into the tea. This hay tea is often
used by dairymen who sell milk
1t is quite a simple matter to raise
a calf on skim milk when taken away
from the dam two or three days after
it is dropped by adding a small
amount Of flaxseed jelly to the skim
milk. Not more than one tablespoons
full should be used at first, and the
amount increased daily as the needs
of the calf seem to require. A calf
when first taken away from the dam
should not receive more than ten
pounds of skim milk to be increased
gradually up to fifteen pounds, but
under no circumstances should it go
over eighteen pounds before the calf
is five or six weeks old. After that
time as much as twenty-four pounds
may be fed. Should you attempt to
raise calf on skim milk or hay tea
remember that small amount fed
three times day is likely to give you
much better results than large
amount fed twice day Where skim
milk is used it is important that it
be fed at blood temperature and in
sweet condition. A. M. Soule.

Sci out Asparagus in October.

Asparagus may be grown from
seed, or set from roots, which may be
had at from SIS to Sc per 1000, and
will require about 5000 plants to the
acre. The soil. should be moist, rich,
sandy loan. The lighter the soil the
better the result Sets should be put
out in October, in deep burrows. eigh-
teen inches apart and covered with
an inch or two of SOIL Well-rotted
stable manure in the furrow is the
best fertilizer. The ground must be
kept soft and free from weeds and
grass. In the early spring mulch
with a coat of fine straw or pine
needles. 1t will produce from zoo to
800 pounds of shoots to the acre per
season and will sell from five to TWEEN
ty-flve cents per pound, although the
first shoots may bring as high as
fifty cents per pound But aside from
the sale of the vegetable, every farm
er should have bed of it for his own
use.

shrub the Pastures.

Briars, bushes and trees are the
greatest drawbacks to pastures in
this section. These are very anxious
to grow and they hold back the grass
from growing. No farmer can grow
them and do much growing grass at
the same time.
There is enough bottom land for
pastures on almost every farm if
the briars, trees and bushes were out
OF the way of the grass. 1t helps
very much to remove the briars and
bushes if the trees are allowed to re-
main.
Pastures should be shrubbed at
least every two years, and once year
is better. Now is the best time to do
this work. Bush axes, grass knives
and briar knives are the tools mainly
used.
Remember that it takes a little
work in the pasture as we'll as in the
field Without pastures you can not
do much with livestock, and without
livestock it is impossible to get the
biggest crops from the fields, u, M

Madrid.-Just before his death q
few years ago, the marquis de Campo,
the well-known proprietor Of the
transatlantic steamship line known as
Campo & Co., which ran a service to
India, the Philippines, Japan and the
United States, made a will leaving his
property to his son, who, he stated
also, was his natural son and heir, and
was to take his fathers title upon his
majority. Until he reached that major
ity the youths interests we're to be
looked after by Senior Macias, q
wealthy and honorable gentleman.
When the present marquis de Cam
DO entered into possession of his title
and property, two claimants appeared,
who declared that they were the
rightful heirs. Senior Macias sided
with them (they are Frenchmen by
BIRTH, saying that they had shown
him documents proving their claim.
Actions were taken simultaneously in
France and Spain. The French au-
thorities dismissed the case, but the
Spanish tribunal admitted the demand
for an inquiry on account Of certain
letters brought forward and the evil
dence of some witnesses.
The marquis de Campo has de-
nounced Senior Macias, alleging that
the latter is trying to rob him of his
rightful Inheritance. Many sensation
