SCOURS IN CALVES.
How This Ailment Is Cured at the
Wisconsin Experiment Station.

How This Ailment Is Cured at the
Wisconsin Experiment Station.
Calves at the Wisconsin experiment
station farm are specially treated for
calf scours. First. special care is tax
en- to avoid scours by keeping the
calves in clean. bright, well lighted
and well ventilated quarters. They are
fed regularly until four weeks old on
two to six pounds Of their mothers
milk three times daily. Care is taken
TO have the temperature of the milk as
near that of freshly drawn milk as
possible and always to have the calf
pals scrupulously clean.
In spite of all preeautlon, however.
there are now and then cases of sCours
among the calves. For the past two
years they have successfully treated
such cases as follows As soon as
symptoms appear two TO four table
spoonfuls OF castor oil are mixed with
one-half pint of milk and given to the
calf This is followed in four TO six
hours by one teaspoonful of a mixture
of one part saIoi and two parts sub
nitrate of bism1tb It can also be
given with one-half pint os new milk
or he powder placed on the tongue
and washed down by small amount
of milk
The saiol and subnitrate of bismuth
can he secured from any druggist
mixed in the proper proportions at the
time of purchase and thus have the
powder readily available for use at
any time AS an additional precaution
against contagious scours 1t is advised
that the navel Of the newborn calf be
wetted with l to 500 solution of
bichloride OF mercury--corrosive sub

of three years have exceeded this, but
only the crop of one year (1906) exceed

price of corn is exceptionally high.
There are only two years in which the
farm price of this crop was as high as
it is for this year In 1881 the price
was 63.6 cents; in 1901 when there was
only two-thirds of an ordinary crop,
the price was 60 cents. The total

WHEN OLD AGE COMES.

If God grant me old age,

Some stone prepared for builders We

Nor would be the sated, weary sage
Who sees strange new wonder in eacl
morn.
And with me there on what men cal

Crowd memories from which | cul

And live old strifes. old kisses, some
old jest:
FOR II l be no burden to myself
l shall be less a burden to the rest.
If God grant you old age.
I'll love the record writ in whitened
hair.
III read each wrinkle wrought by
patient care,
As oft as one would scan a treasured
page,
knowing by heart each sentence gray
en- there.
I'd have you know, iife's evil and life's
And gaze out calmly, sweetly on it
all
Serene with hope, whatever may be-
fall;
As though a love-strong spirit ever
With arm about you. waiting any
call.
If God grant lis old oye
I'd have us very lenient toward our
kind,
Letting our waning senses first grow
blind
Toward sins that youthful zealots can
engage,
While we hug closer all the good we
find
I'd have us worldly foolish. heaven WISE
Each lending each fral succor to
withstand,
ungrudging, ev'ry mortal days de-
mand;
While fear-fed lovers gaze in our old
eyes,
And go forth bold AND glad and hand
in hand.

BAILEY TALKS
THREE HOURS
On INCOME TAX
Concludes His Speech of
Two Days, and Declares
No Self-Respecting Citi-
zen Would Lie to Escape
Taxation.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, April 27.-As the last
half of his two days speech, Senator
Bailey of Texas, devoted nearly three
hours today in a discussion of the le-
gal aspects of his income tax amend
ment to the tariff bill, citing numerous
authorities and cases to maintain that
such a law will be constitutional. He
was frequently interrupted by SEN
ators who offered objections to his
position, or suggested authority to
sustain him. Discussing the plea
that his income tax would make us a
nation Of liars, Bailey said:
Il will not insult the American
people by repeating that charge. but
l will repel it as an UnwaTranted re-
Election upon our people. l do not
think a respecting American citf-
zen will lie to escape the payment of
the tax. If I should find a man who
would commit perjury to escape tax
alton, would favor disfranchising
him."
A large crowd heard Bailey and
when he finished he was congratulated
by Democratic and Republican mem
bers.
Scott, of West Virginia, spoke upon
the tariff with reference to it's effect
upon the south and more especially
upon his own state. At the cOnclu-
sion of SCOTS speech, Gore, Of Okla
homa, standing at the front row of
the senate seats on the Democratic
side Of the chamber, apparently look
ing over the body with sightlesS eyes,
delivered an imprisoned denuncia-
ton of the protective tariff He in
cidentally spoke of the treatment of
coal operatives, which he attributed
to the tariff and which he declared
was out of keeping with civilization
Of today. Reviewing political condi-
tions, Gore, speaking in dramatic
tones, which resounded throughout
the chamber, referred to various in
dustriaI conditions in the United
States to show that the tariff had
nothing to do with the prosperity of
the peOple
