HOW ONE FARMER MANAGES.
Way in Which He Feeds His Calves
to Avoid Scours.

l have had good success in raising
calves from skim and sour milk, writes
an Indiana correspondent in Farm and
Home l take them from the COW
when one TO three days old, giving first
warm milk and after ten days begin
to add skim milk
l use a tablespoonful of oil meal,
and warm the milk before each feed
ing. l gradually increase the meal
until l give them a large handful at
a feed When four or five weeks old,
l begin to feed sour milk from which
cream has been taken, still continuing
the calf meal. When he drinks the
sour milk readily, begin to add a
handful of wheat shorts or middlings,
and later little corn meal.
With this method of feeding l have
had no trouble from scours. Once
with a bad case l tried paregoric, with
doses of one ounce every three hours,
and although it was very bad case,
had no more trouble, the calf being
completely cured.

ATTRACTS ALL OTHER DOORS.
Onion Can Be Used to Get Rid of Dis
agreeable Smells.

Everyone knows that an onion has a
distinct and unpleasant odor, whether
cooked or raw. But everyone does not
know that this odor of an onion will
draw to it every other disagreeable
odor and clear the house atmosphere
in day.
The onion can then be thrown away,
and with it goes the disagreeable
smells that come about in house that
has been closed for the summer.
And this is also a good thing to
know: That it will absorb all the odor
from fresh paint and turpentine. If
the house has been freshly painted
and cleaned for the winters occu-
pancy, the people moving into it will
be miserable with the smells that
come from walls and floors
After the fresh country these odors
will be uncomfortable.
One onion should be cut into small
pieces and placed about the room in
two or three saucers. Allow an onion
to each room and let the saucers re-
main there over day and night.
If every bit of odor hasn't gone in that
time put few fresh pieces in for the
next day.

SOME PET ECONOMIES.
Saving String and Paper We Never
Use-Wasted Medicines.


Hardly a person exists without some
tavorite economy. some little senseless
tribute which he offers at the shrine OF
thrift and by which he saves-just
nothing.
Some people refuse TO cut the string
Of parcels and waste precious minutes
laboriously untying knots. Others
store away scraps of lace and silk and
are delighted when a stray occasion
justifies their practice by making use
Of boarded treasure.
/ myself have a weakness for half
sheets of note paper | am annoyed ex-
ceedingly when / receive a letter with
the third page covered and the second
blank. 1t seems an opportunity missed
Yet as / rarely make use of my pieces

love of saving.
Apropos of this subject, / remember
a clergyman once telling me about an
aunt of his who in her eagerness that
nothing should be wasted insisted upon

Designing Next Years Planting.

AS your shrubs, perennials and an
nuals blossom planting plans for next
year may best be devised. When the
flowers are in bloom their effect may
be noted, and the change to he wrought
by new plants may be accurately cal
culated. That is the time to get out
notebook and catalogue, figure out
what your flower beds and shrubbery
borders lack and decide what may best
supply that lack.
If pink Towering shrub is needed
at certain point, make a note of it in
your book; better still, stick up little
stake in the exact spot where the shrub
would look best, marking on the stake
the specifications. whether the plant
should be tall or low growing, the sea-
son of Towering, etc Then when you
order your shrubbery for fall planting
your nurseryman can fill your specifi-
cations, and when the plant comes you
will know the exact place to plant it.
In grouping your plants take pains
to make them fit in with the neighbor-
ing architecture. The texture of the
foliage, the color Of the flowers, sea-
son of bloom and the rapidity of
growth should all be considered care
fully. Do not plant shrubs so close
together when they are young that
when they attain a few years growth
they will be crowded.

The Vovder.

The voyder was a large dish In
which were collected the broken Wet
uals which were removed from the
table with large knife with a broad,
fat blade, called the voyder knife,
from wider, to empty, clear or make
void
"The Boke Of Nurture" by Hugh
Rhodes, the date of which is 1877. one
of the curious set of handbooks Of
manners and etiquette reproduced by
the Early English Text society, speaks
Of these vessels as follows: "See We
have voyders ready for to void the
morsels that they doe leave on their
trenchers. Then with your trencher
knyfe take off such fragments and put
them in your voyder and then settle
them downe cleane agayne."
Few silver ones remain, but some
large brass voyders or dishes which
have probably been so used may still
be seen, of the history of which moth
ing is known by their present owners.

THE CONTINUOUS DOOR.

Most Desirable.

The advantages of a continuous
door to the silo making it possible to
climb a ladder on the inside of the
chute and step directly on to the silage
without even STOPPING would be appre-
ciated by all and especially by the
man past middle age. Our illustration
shows general plan of proposed
silo which will have door with
nothing extending across it. The doors
could be of any height, perhaps simply
tongued and grooved plank sawed as
long as width of door. The chute is
built with the rest of the silo, of the
same masonry construction, and the re-
enforcing steel passes around the
chute. The portion of the wall at B
in the figure is only supported at A

or tile, light steel rod may be laid

Types of Female Beauty.

In northern Europe, among the leu
tonic races, there are distinct types of
beauty to be met with in Sweden, Po-
land, Saxony and Austria. The Swed-
isb type, however, lacks animation, but
the mold and figure to some extent
atone for this, says the London Globe.
The Austrian women possess a oom-
posite beauty in which are united the
charms of three or four races. Vienna
ladies are tall and stately, with great
harmony and proportion in feature and
figure. The Tyrolese maiden often
lacks good figure, but her face and
manner possess all that is most be-
witching in the two races Of which she
Is composed, Latin and Germanic.

that portion of the wall, that, If prop
erly built, will withstand the silage
pressure.
If this chute were rooted over, the
doors could AL be left out and no
warm air escape. Windows should be
provided at frequent heights along the
chute, thus providing plenty of light
within the silo. The silage chute is
quite essential and should be as per-
manent as the rest of the silo. This
being the case the extra expense of a
door of this type is entirely justified.

A Business Proposition.


Crowley Signal.
It is not the good roads that
cost the farmer and the business
man money. It is the bad roads
that are costly. 1t is a plain
business proposition. Bad roads
always figure on the debit side
of the ledger. Discussing
this point the Gainesville, Texas,
Ledger says:
Before there is another elec-
ton for good roads in this pre-
cinct, the farmers should begin
to think about how much money
a good road will save them. 1t
is ordinarily supposed that good
roads cost money, but the truth
of the matter is that they save
the farmer money. Good roads
make money for the farmer by
saving it.
If q man lives five miles from
town, he seldom makes more
than one trip to town on the
same day. In the harvest sea
son he brings great loads of stuff
to town when he comes. If a
good road will enable him to
bring twice as much at a load.
be has saved a days salary for
himself or whomever he sends
to town will the load. If bonds
for good roads increase the
farmers taxes three dollars q
year, the road will pay for itself
by the time he makes three or
four trips over it.
A farmer who voted against
good roads at the last election,
was cooped up at home during
the mud in early June and he
began to estimate what a good
road would cost him. He found
that, if the election had carried,
it would have cost him IS cents
and that he could have made $25
-
while. as it was, he couldn't pull
an empty wagon to town If he
had owned dozen mules.
The farmer must realize that
good roads increase the value
of his property; property value
is not based on how far are
you from q place." but on how
long it takes you to get there.
City homes Of great value, al
though far from the busy enters
hold their high prices because
of car and auto service which
brings q man to town in just q
few minutes. Farms of this
+: country. which are now five and
six hours drive from town would
practically be moved miles closer
to town because they could be
reached in one or two hours.

PARTY BACK
FROM FALLS

The EVENING NEWS party which
went to Niagara Falls last Tuesday,
returned home Saturday after having
a delightful trip. Miss Elizabeth
Farrell, Of Woodbridge, was the only
one of the contestants who took the
trip. All the expenses were paid by
the EVENING NEWS and nothing
was lacking to have the most enjoy
able time possible.
The weather WAS all that could be
desired, and the Falls never were
more attractive. All the hotels were
filled with tourists from all parts of
the world, but the EVENING NEWS
party had excellent accommodations,
and every one of the three days at
the Falls was an eventful one. No
less pleasing was the trip to Niagara
and return. Miss Farrell expressed
herself as delighted with the outing
and thanks the EVENING NEWS and
her many friends who worked for her
during the contest.
