The San Francisco call., 1908-12-17

Secretary Garfield went thoroughly
into the history of the permit granted
by him to San Francisco authorizing
Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy, and ex-
planned how the rights of the govern
ment and Of the Turlock and Modesto
irrigation districts had been safe
guarded. He urgently recommended the
passage of the joint resolution which
merely authorized the transfer of GER
tain land owned by San Francisco in
the Sierra forest reserve for other
lands required for reservoir purposes.
Representative Needham suggested
that the committee should be very
careful in recommending any legisla-
ton on the subject, mis- ground being
that the city hereafter might abandon
the way open for private spectators
to gobble the water rights to the det-
riment of the Turlock and Modesto
districts.
This objection was explained away
by Manson and Giannini to the ap-
PdAchI odtioldStiOu VI the CciulHiltSS
Would Offset Tax Loss
Representative Englebright's objec-
tion to the resolution was that the
lands now owned by San Francisco in
Tuolumne county, if transferred to the
government. would no longer be subject
to taxation, thereby depriving that
county of revenue. Manson's reply tc
this was that the large sum to be ex-
pended in construction work and road
building would more than offset any
loss in taxes.
The committee finally referred the
resolution to a subcommittee, consist

made public today by Charles D. VOL
colt. secretary Of the institution.
The Board OF regents of the institu-
ton yesterday considered the presi-
dents letter and adopted a resolution
entering into contract with the pres
ident for certain work. The president
wrote TO DR.. Wolcott as follows:

plans are, OF course. indefinite. but
at present I hope they will be some
thing on the following order:

Considered Clever Move

ognized that his claim for the large
allowance has injured his case in the
eyes of the court and the estimation of
the public and his tardy remuneration
is considered clever move to enlist in
terest in his favor. Nevertheless the
public is greatly astonished that the
count should go to such an extreme.
The proceedings were filled with alle-
cations from both sides. The public
prosecutor will present his conclusions
next week and the court will then rem
der its decision. It will either dismiss
the counts plea or grant him the GUS
tody of the children, or If doubt exists
will order the taking of testimony.
The letter of the count is addressed
to M. Bonnet and 1t is couched In an
eloquent phraseology of outraged man
hood. 1t begins: Indignant at the per-
fiidious and lying insinuations of the
princess and her family. representing
that my only desire is to obtain large
allowance. 1 now ask for myself and
mother only the custody of the children.
1 renounce with pleasure the request
for an allowance"
Rejected Offers
Continuing. the count calls M. Bonnet
to witness with what outraged feelings
he rejected the pecuniary offers of the
prince and princess de Sagan and
George Gould, the princess brother.
THE. new and unexpected attitude of
George Gould" De Castellane writes,
who regards this suit simply as vul-
gar affair Of money and who believes
that his golden authority can gild the

Acts Out the Death struggle.


There were three intensely dramatic
moments during Boche's testimony
this morning, when he three different
times acted out the death struggle in
which he says he shot and killed Frank
farmer.
From the wild expression on his
face while he acted out this struggle
three separate times at the bidding of
the attorneys, some in the court room
feared that Boche would lose control
of his nerves and so to pieces.
Leaning forward from the witness
chair, Boche placed both knees on the
floor and one hand and then, pointing
out to the jury that one man was be
hind him and one in front, the witness
showed how he had reached for his
revolver and shot the man in front OF
him.
His recollection of the struggle
which he claimed took place, was
more or less hazy and unclear.

LABOR OF THE HORSE.
How 1t Can Be Made to Make Up for
Lack Of Hired Help.

Some one has figured out that it
costs on the average only one-half as
much to- feed horse as it does to feed
man.. and that the horse will do ten
times the. amount of work that it is
possible for the man to do. If this
estimate lis correct, then a dollars
worth Of food given the horse will
produce 20 times as much results as
the same amount of money will if ex-
pended in feed for a man. Therefore,
when man domesticated the horse he
Immensely increased his own power of
securing results. When much farm
work is to be done there should al
ways be enough )horses to do it.
Farmers try to economize on the num-
Der of horses and have to leave much
work undone. In the event of hired
help being scarce;i it is sometimes
possible to offset this lack by increas.
ing the number of horses kept. In
some parts Of the west and northwest.
declares the Farmers Review. the
scarcity Of help. has resulted in more
horses being used. Five are hitched
to double plow, and one driver IS
thus enabled to turn two burrows at
time and practically double the work
that one man has to do. This is the
result of the complete utilization of
horsefesh.

SEPARATOR AND CALF.
Former Does Not Rob Latter 81 Any
Elements Needed In His Rearing.

cit 1s my observation that many
farmers would milk cows and sell the
cream IL they felt sure they could at
the same time produce good calf,
writes correspondent of Farm and
home. take 1t for granted farm
ers know that If 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-
slve attention of its dam.
s% 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 it may be fed sweet at prac-
tlcally 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
produce muscle, bone, hair and pro-
mote growth of the young animal.
butter fat is not necessarily essential
10 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.
10 Illustrate this point many farm
ers Will point out a certain COW n
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 tat in the calf's body, and also to
keep the calf warm. Calves running
with their dams are eating more fat
than they really need, which results
in loss to the owner, because it does
the calf no good.
When butter fat is selling at an
average price Of % to % cents per
pound it will be economy to save this
fat and sell it. On the other hand, il
substitute for this fat can be added
to the skim milk, and this substitute
is cheaper than butter fat, as it Is
then; the farmer is again practicing a
system of economy. which he can't af
ford to overlook.

HGAvk9 CAUSED eY HAY.
Veterinarian cautiens Against Too
Heavy Feeding.

A. noted veterinarian Of Canada
says that one full feed per day Of
hay is enough for a horse; that be-
cause the work horses are busy in
crop time they only get one full feed
of hay every "a hours, but in the win
ter are frequently allowed to stand
and eat all day. He says that a horse
to be In perfect health should have
the stomach emptied, of the previous
meal for two or three hours before he
is given another If such is not the
case, digestion will not take place in
= perfect manner, and diseaseis likely
to result. There is remarkable SYM
pathy between the stomach and the
lungs, because of the fact that the
same nerve trunk supplies nerve force
to both organs. When the stomach
is deranged from improper feeding the
lungs are liable to become sympa~
thettcallye affected and heaves often
result Care should also be taken that
a horse should be fed no dusty or
musty hay. This dust is as light as
air, and the horse in breathing draws
it right into the lung tissue with every
breath, and this substance, being an
irritant, is very prone to develop the
heaves. If no better hay can be OBJ
tanned, the dust should be laid by
sprinkling with water, when the horse
will not breathe it, but will be swal-
lowed with his feed and probably do
him no harm; but when at all possible
only bright, clean hay, free from dust,
should be fed to horses. Again no
horse is in fit condition for active ex.
ercise with stomach distended with
hay, because the stomach situated as
it is right behind the lung space, if
full, bulges forward into the chest to
such an extent that the lungs have no
room to properly expand, and cannot
perform their functions properly; and
anything that interferes with the func.
tion of the lungs predisposes to heaves.
In many cases if farmers would feed
one-third less hay to idle horses in the
winter months they would come out in
the spring in better condition.

floor with i"ccf,er connection to the
sewerage system.
Cement floors have proved to be the
best il, iris, but considerable COM
plant has been made on the ground
that The, ba.ts:' maker frequently con-
tracts rheumatism and is forced out
Of the bu:iness. This also had
tendency to prevent some from going
into the creamery work. This proves
a menace to the business.
70 overcome this the dairy depart
ment OF t:2e Kansas state agricultural
college has been conducting expert
nlents during the past season, and has
been successful, new cement floor
having been installed with the system
of One-inch steam pipes laid under the
concrete in such a way as to infuse
heat through the cement, rendering
the floor warm and dry. This expert
ment has been thoroughly tested dur
ing the past month, and thus far has
given absolute satisfaction. The ex-
pense OF heating is very small, as
once the floor is warmed up it re-
quires very little steam to maintain
uniform temperature.
This system of heating may we'll be
considered by stockmen. Further ex-
periments> along this line will in all
probability be conducted at the Kan
sas state experiment station during
the coming year.
Mower County transcript., 1908-06-03
Overfekdino the Dajrv Cali

One of the most common ways of in
juring dairy calves is to overfeed
them. When the calf is left with the
cow this does not occur. The calf
nurses frequently and gets little at a
time. But when he Is raised by hand
he is fed but two or three times a day
and is then given all he will drink.
He is ravenously hungry and fills
himself up to the aching point. When
he has done this few times, his
stomach has been reduced to state
in which he cannot digest the milk
completely, and part of this is
passed undigested into the intestines.
That begins the securing of the calf.
If the same reckless feeding is contin.
ued, the calf stands a good chance of
being killed.

HEALThFULNEss OF MILK.
This Quality is More important Than
Il, the Richness. Of It,. $3.50:


We hear q great deal OF talk about
watered milk and milk that runs be-
low certain standard in proportion
of butter-fat. But the most important
thing to consider is the healthfulness
Of Smilk. 1t will; however, be a long
time before the citizen can put the
cIeanliIaaB of milk ahead of the quail
ity of nailk as relates to the butter fat
in it,. This perhaps comes from the
fact that For centuries while we had
no: means CT testing milk it was
Judged on the amount of cream that
rose on it, Good, clean milk is very
desirable food product If it could be
made always clean and healthful,
there is 10 limit to which it's 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 it. More than
that, there are to be found in milk
sometimes feTments 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 it's freedom from dirt and
ferments that praduce disease. =
