 For a little while Lord Athlyne tried to persuade himself that now. at last he was enjoying freedom. No more paradeS or early hours: no more order ly rooms or mess dinners. or duties at functions; no more of the bald, stale conventionalities of an occupation which had lost it's charm. He expected each day to be now joyous with the realization of ancient hopes.
 But the expectations were not req lized. The days seemed longer than ever. and he actually yearned for some thing to fill up his time. Naturally his thoughts turned. as in the case of sportsnlen they ever do. big game. The idea took him and he began to plan out in his mind where he would go Africa for lions? Noi no! He had had enough of Africa to last him for some time. India for tigers; the Rock ies for bear?
 Happy thought. Bear would just suit. He could put in two things; look up that woman in New York who claimed to be his wife and silence her. abroad i'm case he should ever marry. Then he would go on to the Rockies or Colorado and have turn at the grizzlies.

 At last he had found new interest in life. For a week he devoted him. self to the work in hand, until his whole sporting outfit was prepared. Then he began to think of the other quest and the more he thought of it the more it puzzled him.

Feeding the Heifer Calf.

VIM. 7. Read, of Harwood, Texas,
wants to know how to feed the heifer
calf for milk production and the age
for dropping her first calf.
in reply | would say that plants or
animals result in best specimens in
proportion to the perfection of their
feeding system. A starved plant or
starved calf will be stunted and
make runt This is a well-knOwn
fact.
The calf should have all first
milk" from its mother as a medicine
Or for sake of digestion. Whether it
sucks this or drinks it does not SO
nillch matter. Some dairymen think
the calf learns the art of drinking
best by beginning at once.
Give the calf whole milk for at
least ten days if not two weeks. Feed
three times a day for that period and
then twice, but increase the quantity.
Introduce skim milk gradually, a pint
at a time, till the change is made.
Stir a teaspOonful of flaXseed meal
and oilmeal into each skim milk feed
to take the place Of the dissent butter
fat. The oil meal tends to prevent
'securs, or course, whole milk is
better for the calf all the time if you
can afford it.
Corn meal should not be fed with
the milk, since it will then he gulped
down without proper mouth digestion.
Ii contains a large per cent of starch,
which can be digested properly only
by being mixed thoroughly with the
saliva OF the mouth, which the calf
does in licking it up at the hottom
of the pail
All milk must be given warm to
prevent Indigestion, al least for some
months. 1t should come directly from
the COW or at once through the sep
arator. otherwise 1t must be re-
heated. The drinking vessel must be
kept clean as II for yourself
There can be no fixed quantity in
tie ration fed to a calf Individual
requirements vary and must be met
accordingly. Give the amount that
seems to be satisfactory and will
keep the calf in the best growing
condition. A half starved and care
lessly fed calf can never make a
first-class COW.
The heifer should not be bred I'M
der fifteen months old. The calf
should not come before the mother
Is abo0t. two years of age.

MOTION FOR COOPERS
LAWYERS ASK COURT FOR NEW
 TRIAL.
Grounds on Which Application | Based Include Failure to Dis miss ayury When q Made
 Partial Report.

Nashville, Tenn. April 15.--Forty- six separate and distinct reasons why the defendants, Duncan B. Cooper and Robin J. Cooper, recently convicted of the murder of Senator E. W. Car mack should be granted q new trial at the hands of Judge W. M. Hart are. set forth in the grounds for the motion for new trial. filed by the attorneys for the defendants in the office of the criminal court clerk of Davidson county.
 The first few assignments are de- voted mostly to alleged errors by rea- son of Judge Hart's ruling out cer- tain evidence. Next is taken up DOT tions of Judge Khrt's charge to the jury, a number of exceptions are made to different portions of the charge. in which the court was stating the theory of the State, The concluding portion of the charge. deals with a number of special requests, refused by the court and to which action of the court defendants excepted.
 Exception is takes to the action of the court in not entering a mistrial on March 19 when a partial report was received from the jury. Excep- ton is taken in this connection also. because Judge Hart did not discharge the jury on Mrach 1e, after the par tial verdict was reported. This was the day on which John D. Sharp was acquitted and on which Foreman E.. M. Burke said the jury was .hope- lessly tied up as to the Coopers" or words to that effect. and following which Judge Hart sent the jury back for further delib eration. The jury re- ported on the next day, March go. fnd- ing the two Coopers guilty of murder in the second degree, and giving each twenty years.
 The motion contains the averment that the verdict is not supported by the evidence.
 Exception is taken to the ruling of the court, in excluding portions of Robin cooper's evideace intended to throw light on the mental condition of his father as well as himself. Exception is taken to the courts al- lowing the state to ask Robin Cooper if he knew any reason why certain States witnesses had perjured them selves.
 Exception is taken because the court did not admit all of the Carmack let- ter written in Washington in 1904 to Colonel Cooper; also because all of The News-Scimitar editorial of March Is, 1908, was not admitted. Exception is taken because the court allowed the State to cross examine Colonel Cooper, regarding alleged de- falcations is Maury county, and as to certain suits brought against him there.
 Exception Is taken as to the evil dence of Major W. o. Vertrees, as to the mental attitude of Senator Car mack, when given a pistol by Vertrees.
 Exception Is taken because the court did not allow all that was said at the
