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

How This AiIment 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 az
near that of freshly drawn milk as
possible and always to have the calf
pals scrupulously clean.
In spite of all precaution, 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
calf This is followed in four to six
hours by one teaspoonful of mixture
of one part salol and two parts sub
nitrate of bismuth. 1t can also be
given with one-half pint Of new milk
or the powder placed on the tongue
and washed down by small amount
of milk.
The salol and subnitrate of bismuth
can be 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 it is advised
that the navel of the newborn calf be
wetted with ! to 500 solution of
bichloride of mercury-corrosive SUBJ

Honey Pots, a Fine Old Game.

Two players are selected as honey
merchant and purchaser. These two
should be the tallest and strongest of
the party It is better when older
brothers or sisters or papa and mann
| ma" can be induced to act these parts.
The honey merchant has his store
where the rest Of the children take the
parts of honey pots. They must sit in
a row on the floor or on the grass If
playing out of doors, with their hands
elasped under their raised knees. Then
the game proceeds in this way: The
purchaser approaches the merchant
and asks, Have you any good honey
for sale?" The merchant says: Yes,
sir; first rate. This pot is from Mount
Hybla, the finest honey in the world.
This one is from Sicily, as good as any
you could get from Martindales.
Taste and try before, you buy"
The purchaser shakes his head and
says: Not very good. l like this Eng
Iish jar. How much will you sell it
for?' "a shilling pound" How
much does it weigh? Then the mer-
chant says, 'We will see if you will
be good enough to help me-" They
then take hold Of the arms of the Eng
lish jar (who must hold her hands
tightly clasped under her knees and
swing her backward and forward I'M
til she cannot hold her hands together
any longer and her feet touch the
ground. She is then said to weigh as
many pounds as times she has been
swung backward and forward.
The purchaser may object to the
weight as too much or too little and
choose another pot. Thus the game
goes on till each jar has been swung
and taken part in the play.
