SEPARATOR AND c.
Former Does Not Rob Latter Of Any
Elements Needed In His Rearing.

II is my observation that many
farmers would milk cows and sell the
cream II they felt sure they could at
the same time produce a good calf.
writes a correspondent of Farm and
Home. take It for granted farm.
ers know that II skim milk calf
can be successfully grown It will rep
resent one-half less cost than the calf
which has had the entire and exclu.
sive attention of its dam.
The hand separator, which is used
entirely in connection with the dairy
business in many western states, has
contributed very largely to successful
calf raising. This is so because the
milk can at all times be fed warm
and at the same temperature. and
also that II may be fed sweet at prac-
tically all times. In calf feeding the
uniform condition of the milk con-
tributes probably more than any other
one thing to successful feeding.
Skim milk contains all the elements
or whole milk, except the fat, and
these are the elements necessary to
B'OtuNN iiuoNits bOnts anu DIO-
mote growth of the young animal.
Butter fat is not necessarily essential
to growth of young calves, and four
per cent milk, which is rather a
higher percentage of fat than aver.
age milk, contains at least two per
cent. more butter fat than is needed
by the calf.
To illustrate this point many farm.
ers will point out a certain COW in
their herd which gives thin milk, yet
produces larger and more vigorous
calf than the cows which give milk
containing much more fat. This is
evidence In support of my claim that
the normal amount of fat contained
In cows milk is not needed by the
calf.
Skim milk contains all the elements
necessary for growth, tut some fat
must be fed in connection with milk
to produce certain essential amount
of fat in the calls body, and also to
keep the calf warm. Calves running
with their dams are eating more fat
than they really need, which results

HANDcAR Is THE FAST MAIL.
Dublin, Tex, Postmaster Proves Equal
to Emergency.

Dublin Textile difficulties OF be-
ing a postmaster In Texas when train
service IL suspended by floods and
high water have been experienced by
Nicholas d. Smith, postmaster OF this
place, during the recent rise in the
river here and the consequent cutting
off of all railroad communications.
Dublin Is situated on two lines, the
Frisco and the Texas Central Both
lines suspended the operation of all
trains, and number of small towns
were without any way to get mail.
II was up to the Dublin postmaster
to devise means of making the dellv-
cry of letters at least. He was equal
to the emergency. To several towns
he sent mail clerks afoot; to others
he went himself on a handcar, and to
still other villages he went on work
trains and sent his men In the same
manner For three or four days, dur.
ing which the railroads were unable
to operate, Postmaster Smith repeated
these performances and kept the
towns supplied with the letter mail.

CLAIMS EGGS ARE LIVE STOCK.
Importer Seeks to Evsde Tariff by
Novel Proposition.

Washington.-ls an egg live stock :?
II 1t is bought for the purpose of
Matching. is It live stock for breeding
purposes?
G.. f. Slater of Sioux City has the
department of the treasury worrying
about these and sundry collateral
questions. Mr.. Slater sent to Eng
land for a couple OF dozen eggs of the
Black Orpington. an especially aristo-
cratic general purpose" hen; that is.
hen that can lay an egg every day
and at the same time be eaten for din
ner with satisfaction and comfort.
The cheerful joker who billed the
eggs out of England and who didn't
know anything about the tariff valued
them at 800. When they got to the
custom house at Sioux City duties of
$25 were assessed against them. Mr..
Slater protested He had heard of
the famous ruling of Secretary Shaw
that frogs are poultry for the purposes
OF tariff, and he figured that eggs were
live stock, potentially, at least.
Under the law registered live stock
imported for breeding purposes is en-
titled to come in free. But the depart
ment decided against the Sioux City
man. and his only hope is to reopen
the case. Meanwhile he is for tariff
revision-not at the hands of its
friends.

OF sex. After 80 years, devoted large.
ly to studying the subject, she asserts
she has proved by actual demonstra.
ton that parents can have boys or
girls at will, that stock breeders and
ranchmen can produce COW or bull
calves as they see fit, and that horti-
culturists can grow male or female
plants at will.
The last of her family, she main
tains, was made to order. After
three girls had come along she de-
cided to change the sex of those that
followed, so she put the discovery at
work and had four boys. Now she is
a widow and her children are grown.
80 she proposes to give the whole
world the benefit OF her discovery in a
book she is writing and expects to
publish II within a month.

HEALTHFuLNEss OF MILK.
This Quality Is More Important Than
the Richness of II.

We hear a great deal of talk about
watered milk and milk that runs be
low a certain standard in proportion
of butter-fat But the most important
thing to consider is the healthfulness
of milk. II will, however, be a long
time before the citizen can put the
cleanliness of milk ahead of the quail
ity of milk as relates to the butter fat
in 1t. This perhaps comes from the
fact that for centuries while we had
no means of testing milk II was
judged on the amount of cream that
rose on 1t. Good, clean milk is a very
desirable food product. II II could be
made always clean and healthful.
there is no limit to which its sale
might go.
One dairy expert. says the Farmers
Review, asserts that where poor
quality milk has done one dollars
worth of damage, dirty milk (which
after carries disease germs has done
$50 worth of damage. More than
once typhoid fever has become cpl.
demic through bad milk, and scarlet
fever is often carried by 1t. More than
that, there are to be found in milk
sometimes ferments that bring about
the digestive troubles prevalent at
times in various localities. So, to get
the most good out of our investigations
of milk, we should pay the most at.
tention to its freedom from dirt and
ferments that produce disease.
