TO prevent scOurs in calves, proper
care should be given to the mother
while pregnant, that she may be able
to give birth to a healthy calf. AS
scours is a germ disease, it is impor-
tant that the calf be free from this
disease when born. Cows afflicted with
the disease of abortion convey this
disease to their offspring. 1t is for
this reason that calves SO often die of
scours before they have even taken
nourishment. 1t is therefore very nee
essary that the COW be kept free from
disease in order to obtain healthy
calves.
Calves born afflicted with the germs
of this disease in their system are in
position to spread the disease to
ether calves that they may come in
contact with in the same herd, or if
shipped to other herds. This is an
other proof of it's infectious nature.
To prevent and overcome scours in
calves they should be given medicines
that prevent fermentation of food to
allay irritation and congestion, soOthe
and heal inflamed mucous membrane,
act as an antiseptic, as this is quite
necessary when the disease is due to
a germ.
The most important factor in the
raising of cattle is their care while
young Do not think that you are do
ing the correct thing if you are only
managing to keep the life in the calf
until it is three months old, and then
have it get fat on grass before the
winter comes. If you do this you will
be apt to have lot of stunted calves
with their digestive organs destroyed
which will never make strong, healthy
cattle, and will not be good for either
dairy, beef or breeding purposes.

chanan." This signature was placed
upon each envelope with a hand
stamp.
Two colors were used-red and blue
the stamps appearing on paper of
different colors. Sometimes, probably
on account of the scarcity of the regu-
lar 10 cent stamp, two of the fives
were used on one envelope to make
up the sum of 10 cents. These were
called compounds, and the collector
in question in his lot of nine en-.
velopes obtained five of these com.
pounds, all of which are very rare.
Of the 10 cent red stamped envelopes
Of straight denomination only two
specimens are known to exist.
The collector had no difficulty in dis.
posing of his stamps for $4,000, and
still has in his possession a specimen
Of the compound envelope which is
easily worth $1,000.
From what can be learned these
early envelopes with hand-stamped
signatures were issued in 1916 for the
the last time. There is also on record
a copy of the envelope with the auto
graph signature Of Postmaster Blu.

WESTERN CARADA'S
HAPPY PROSPECTS

In no year since the development of
Western Canada began has spring
brought a brighter outlook than it
brings this year In no preceding
spring has there been greater assur-
ance of advancing development and
prosperity. The movement of immi-
grafton has already assumed large pro-
portions, and is as desirable in char
acter as it is satisfactory in volume
from across the Atlantic sturdy, indus
trious and thrifty newcomers are ar
irving in large numbers, homeseekers
from Ontario and the other older
Provinces are coming in steady
stream, and from across the interna-
tional boundary a movement is al
ready in full flow, which. it is conf
IDENTIFY predicted, will beat the records
OF all previous years; special settlers
trains are crossing the line, loaded
with effects, actual material wealth
being thus brought into the country at
the rate of millions of dollars worth
monthly.
The movement is so unprecedented
ly large that extra Dominion Immigra-
ton officials have had to be provided
at both North Portal and at Emerson
and it is estimated that the total num-
Der of new settlers from the United
States this year will be 10000, at
least, and may run we'll up toward
100000. Last years total of new set
tiers from the South was 53,723: thus
the area that will be placed in wheat
and other grains this year will greatly
exceed that of last year. Settlers are
making extraordinary efforts to get on
their lands and begin seeding opera
tons. The price Of wheat now, away
above the dollar mark, is incentive
enough, and when one has in view the
splendid results that the past few
years have shown, it is not to be won
dered at that the present will be the
banner year for immigration to Can
ada. Ask your nearest Canadian Gov
eminent Agent for rates of transporta-
ton, and he will also send you illus
trated pamphlets.

MAKES NEW MEMBERS "SORE."
Older Congressman Have Kept Dis.
tribution of Perquisites in Their
Hands Exclusively.

More than one member Of the pres
ent congress is wailing and gnashing
his teeth as a result of the adoption
during the closing hours of the last
session of the SiXtiath congress, OF a
resolution granting to the members OF
that body the right of distribution OF
all public documents and other con
gressional perquisites until December
next, when the regular session vii!
convene. New members are placed in
the delightful position with their con
stituents of having not pub doc, not
a garden or flower seed, not blessed
nothing, to distribute, between now
and next December Some are Dor
rowing from colleagues, some are ex-
planning the matter to their constitu-
ents.
Incidentally, one of these latter got
a letter from a farmer constituent
some days ago asking for horse books
and cow books and seeds for the pro-
duction of garden truck. The member
carefully replied that he was sorry
and that there was nothing doing, and,
for fear said constituent might not I'M
derstand, went into details concerning
the ill-advised action of congress and
what it meant. A couple of days later
he got the following letter from the
farmer constituent:
Hon. Jim Blank, United States Cap
itol, Washington, d. c.: After receiv-
ing your letter I wrote to the man we
turned down in your favor and he
sent me everything I wanted. [ do

gress can do more for me than man
who is member, I don't think the
member ought to be elected again. I

about it. Your explanation is not sat
isfactory and we do not believe it
down here"
Isn't that nice? All the new mem
bers feel mighty strongly on the sub
ject, and if a vote were taken now it's
certain there would be no more courte-
sizes extended to the defeated. Trouble
is, they'll all be old members next
time the question comes up, and you
can bet your bottom dollar that they
won't be cut short at both ends of the

While some fathers in Milwaukee
are being upbraided for their desire
to shoot ducks in spring when propa-

receiving instructions apropos birds,
their life, breeding, food, and enc

taught to realize and understand that
the birds are the property of the state

human standpoints; taught that birds
are useful to man as destroyers of in
furious insects, noxious mammals and
worthless weeds; taught that our
feathered friends are useful to agri-
culture and forestry, that they need

Greatest of Native Fighters.

Greatest OF Native Fighters.
The leader in this idea was the ma
tive chief, Hongi, the greatest Of the
Maori fighters. He would be king if
he could only get the firearms.
The English sought to placate
Hongi Recognizing his great influ-
ence with the people, they took him
to England, taught him the ways of
agriculture and sent him home with
money enough to buy farming imple-
ments to make his people farmers.
But Hongi thought only of warfare of
conquest. The fighting spirit of a
savage people cried out within him,
and he had learned just enough of
moderc ideas by his residence among
white men to seek to have at his dis
posal all the most modern agencies
for killing. He sold the farming i'm
plements and he brought firearms to
his people instead.
These formed the basis of an arse
nal, with which for ten years he sue
ceeded in keeping the state in con-
diton of bloodiest turmoil. Those
who supported him were brave but
they were misguided. They followed
him blindly, and it is estimated that
in the internecine wars which fol-
lowed while Hongi was striving to put
himself in position of being ruler of
the country, not less than one-fourth
of the Maori population persisted.
Wrecked by Vices of Whites.
Owing to the numbers killed in bat
tie, the women far outnumbered the
surviving male residents of the coun-
try when peace was finally restored,
and the poor creatures, utterly de-
moralized by the vices of the whites,
were SO enfeebled in health and sta
nina that their descendants to this
day are paying the price in wrecked
constitutions and enfeebled minds.
The death rate now goes bounding
ahead of the birth rate, and nothing
can be done to alter the condition, for
the whole tone and power Of the race
has been lowered to the point where
recovery is a virtually impossibility.

tied with the British in the hope of

SCOURS In CALVES
OR CALF CHOLERA
Differs from Similar Disease in
Grown Animals.

Scours in calves or calf cholera in
many instances differ from diarrhoea
in grown animals, and has special fea-
lures of it's own, taking the form OF
infectious intestinal catarrh, which is
far more serious than the diarrhoea
of the full grown animal
Sourcs in calves generally appear
suddenly. A perfectly healthy calf
may be seized all at once, apparently,
without any change in food or care.
The symptoms of this infantile diar-
rhoea usually appear during the first
two or three weeks of life. In many
cases scours appear with a few
hours after the animal is born, and
the calf may die within from "a to
48 hours unless it receives prompt
and proper treatment.
It is common for the calf to be af-
ficted with scours Immediately at
birth, even before it has had time to
suck or take any nOurishment what
ever. The faces or manure is very
thin and watery. 1t has sour, dis
agreeable odor and is usually light col
ored. The excavations are frequent
and expelled with force.
The first indication of scours is the
soiled condition of the tail, loss of
appetite, sunken eyes, sometimes the
saliva flowing from the mouth, no at
tempt being made to swallow. They
have a staring coat, grow thin, and

How Many Cows to keep.-The
writer was recently in the dairy barn
of a man who was keeping and feed
ing about a dozen COWS. These COWS
were well sheltered, but were not fed
as much of nutritious feed as they

of feed in store and was simply trying

Maori Race Is Rapidly
Passing INTO Oblivion
Most Superb of Primitive Races Victim of Vices
Brought to Country by White Invaders

The pride of all the aboriginal
races, the far-famed Maoris of New
Zealand, are in their decline, and
soon will be only memory.
This superb savage race, whose
proportions and handsome appear
ance once made them the wonder OF
the ethnologist, has lost it's vitality,
and is now only shadow Of what it
once was.
When the first white men entered
New Zealand, and encountered the
Maori race, they were then people
several thousand strong; now the
number has steadily shrunk till the
last census shows that only few
more than forty-seven thousand are
still living.
Not only in numbers has the de-
cline been marked. 1t is also in the
health and appearance that the sad
story is told. Once the Maori was
d. healthy, vigorous and prolific, pow
erful and well proportional. Today
it is a nation of lowered physique and
declining birth rate.
Experts who have studied condi-
tons in the country say that nothing
can now save the race, and it is only
a question of a very few generations
before it is wiped out altogether.
Look to End With Stoicism.
The Maori chieftains themselves
understand this to be a fact, and they
look forward to the end of a great
race with grim stoicism. They charge
their fate to the coming of the Euro
pean, and draw comparison be-
tween the manner in which the Maori
rat was destroyed by the rat that
came over in the white mans ship.
Similarly they expect to have their
national life, in fact their physical
life, finally crushed out of them by
the conditions that arose when white
men assumed control of their land
1t is the ways of civilization that
have been the downfall of the I'M
fortunate aborigines. Left to their
own devices, living their own lives
