Raising Calves for the Dairy.

IL we wish to see the influence that
man has had on the improvement OF
cattle we have only to look at the diff
ferent breeds that have been developed
from one common ancestry through his
efforts. The skillful dairyman who
breeds intelligently and gives the proper
care and feed to his calves Is the one
who will constantly improve his herd.
The calf should be taken from its
dam when from one to two days old.
For the first two weeks it should be fed
only on it's mothers milk. Feed about
eight to ten pounds day. When the
centrifugal separator is used and sweet
skim milk is available, the latter may
be substituted for a part of the whole
milk when the calf is two weeks old.
BY making the change gradually, skim
milk may be substituted for all of the
whole milk by the time the calf is from
three to four weeks old. As the fat or
cream has been removed from the skim
milk, il is necessary to replace this with
some food. For this we have found a
mixture of equal parts by weight OF
corn meal, wheat bran, and oat meal
very satisfactory. About two table,
spoonfuls should be mixed with the
skim milk just before it is fed. This
can be gradually increased as the calf
grows older. Regularity is necessary
condition to success in calf raising.
The calves should be fed at the same
time each day. Very little more skim
milk should be fed than whole milk
W when the change is made and it should
always be fed warm. 1t should be
about the same temperature as milk
when first drxwn from the COW, and
should be perfectly sweet. The feeding
pail should be kept scrupulously clean
by scalding once day. The calf should
be taught to eat as soon as possible,
which may be done by putting little
meal in its mouth just after feeding the
skim milk. A mixture of bran, oats and
corn meal makes desirable feed for
the calf. 1t should be- allowed to eat
all the hay it will. The calf should be
kept in a comfortable barn during cold
and rainy weather. While it should not
be fat, it should be kept in a thrifty,
growing condition.-Lewiston Journal.

The Consolidated Farm School.

During the last quarter of a century
this country has spent twenty-five mil
lion dollars in agricultural research, and
other countries a similar amount. In
the next twenty-five years two hundred
and fifty millions will be spent in this
country, and more than a like amount in
other countries. The knowledge which
arises from this research work is coming
to have it's effect, and even the little
rural school is beginning to change its
complexion, to change its point OF view,
to become more practical. The country
is coming to believe more in country
life, and the schools are seeing the wis
dom of doing something to keep the
country people from forsaking their own
business and their ancestral homes for
the city. The little rural school is TAX
ing up with some success the subjects
of farming and farm home making, but
for that the school is not adequate. A
much better system is developing in a
most encouraging and even surprising
way. | speak of the consolidated farm
school,
There are probably well established
upward to 100000 one room rural
schools in this country. About two
thirds of these could be converted into
something like $4,000 consolidated farm
schools, and leave remaining in the
more isolated districts 100000 or>more
of the little rural schools.
The great problem in country life
education is the consolidation of these
rural schools and financing the increas-
ed expense resulting therefrom. This is
not impossible; it is not impracticable
and the American people are going to do
it. Already approximately 600 OF such
schools are in operation. The Depart
ment of Agriculture for two years has
had a man travelling among these
schools, and the knowledge gained is one
of the most inspiring things ever
brought out in connection with country
life education. The evidence is clear
that the consolidated farm school is
with us to multiply and be a permanent
and most beneticent institution. There
are only a few of these 600 consolidated
rural schools in which the Industrial
work is yet adequately organized but
they are showing us how this work can
be established. The cost of these
schools is quite large, but the expendi-
ture will so increase the economic
efficiency of American farm communi-
ties that it will be more than justified
by the better living and better rural
social and general conditions as we'll as
by the larger output of farm products.
There is no question in my mind that
the American people will find some way
to finance these schools.-W. NJ. Hays,
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, in
Turf, Farm and Home.

ID givtEK entucky added notoriety for
crime and lawlessness. For the last
decade the State has been in constant
turmoil and strife, the crimes ranging
from the illicit manufacture OF moon

utive. Bloody feuds have run their
course and ceased because of the scare
ity of material; elections have been
fiagrantiy stolen and Governor fOully
murdered, land now the night riders
have become the leading figures before
the public. One atrocious outrage
after another has been committed and
no one has been punished. Only few
nights ago the quiet and peaceful little
city of Eddyville was visited by these
outlaws, the town "shot up" and six
men taken out and cruelty beaten for
no particular reason except that some
of them had expressed their condemna-
ton of the acts of the terrorists.

fiourished after the Civil War in the

Uniform Stage Of Water.

The War Department has received a
report from the board of officers appoint

of the canallz atom of the Ohio rver.
The board finds that six-foot stage
during low water from Pittsburg to
Cairo can be secured by the construc-
ton of forty-five locks and movable
dams at cost of $5l, 900, 600, and that
a nine-foot stage can be had by the
construction of fifty-four locks and
dams at an estimated cost of about

recommended. The scheme provides
for the widening of the Louisville
