making the change gradually, skim
milk may be substituted for all Of
the whole milk by the time the calf
Is from three to four weeks old. AS
the fat of cream has been removed
from the skim milk, 1t Is necessary to
replace this with some food. For
this we have found a mixture of equal

bran, and oat meal very satisfactory.
About two tableapoonfuls should be
mixed with the skim milk just be-
fore it Is fed. This can be gradually
increased as the calf grows older.
Regularity is the necessary condition
to success in calf raising The calves
should be fed at the same time each
day. Very little more skim milk
should be fed than whole milk when
the change is made and it should al

WAR ON WOLVES AND COYOTES.
Colorado VIII Endeavor to Exter.
inmate Pests to Save Game.

State Game Commissioner T. J.
Holland will have a dreaded name
among the coyotes and wolves when
he goes out of office, for he is deter
mined to wage war of extinction
against the varmints."
Commissioner Holland believes that
coyotes are responsible for destruc-
ton Of more game In Colorado than
an army of pot hunters thirty times
as large as those which annually food
the deer sections, All during the
summer and winter they are chasing
the deer. pulling down young fawns in
the late summer and capturing help
less animals In the deep snow when
winter comes.
Therefore he will issue instructions
TO all game wardens to poison coyotes
and wolves. The government has per
fected a new wolf poisoning system
that Is said to work very effectively.
And the old strychnine carcass will be
worked to the limit to deplete the
bands of killers which range all over
the mountains and plains of Colo
RADIO.
In the early days, according to
Commissioner Holland, coyotes rarely
freQuented the mountains. Hardly an
old trapper or pioneer remembers eyed
having seen coyotes in the noun
tains. Sustenance was. far easier on
the plains for two reasons, the game
was more easily caught and the coy
otes did not have man to depend upon.
When men went into the mountains
the refuse they threw away from their
living would keep coyote alive for
long time.
The mountain coyotes now hang
around ranch houses and towns more
han anything else, and In the night
hey steal in to pil.er and gorge. They
lways find plenty to eat either by
:illing game or stealing from men.

The present Is one of sadness and

the department Of agriculture, this
acme OF our childhood is fast reach
ing a condition OF innocuous desue-
tude. In 1866 when the first anthem
tic buckwheat returns appeared, the
country devoted l,045,000 acres to the
crop, and raised 22,791 900 bushels Of
pancake material. with farm value
of $15,413,000 Now we have but
ibout 100000 acres. and raise 14,500.-
COO bushels worth some $S,000,000. In
re old days, Pennsylvania was the
banner state. with near 100000 acres
devoted to buckwheat, and New York
came a second with $50. 900 acres Now
Pennsylvania has only 100000 acres
while New York holds the banner
with an area of 5000 acres. During
this period the average yield an acre
for the country has decreased from
20 bushels to about Is bushels. Forty
years ago Maine grew an average
crop of 81 bushels. Today Iowa av-
ernges only ~ or 10 bushels an acre.
The average price on the farm has
fallen about 10 cents a bushel.

The Land GETTING Better.

From thorough investigation of
conditions throughout the country, the
results whereof will be detailed in
forthcoming bulletin OF the agricul.
tural department, Prof. Whitney, chief
of the bureau OF soils, concludes that
the productivity of our farm lands,
taken as whole, is increasing rather
than diminishing. In the sections
long settled there are many instances
of deterioration. The soil has been
robbed until it has been worn out:
and there are similar instances in the
more newly-settled states. Generally
speaking, however and thanks to more
intelligent cultivation to the observa.
ton Of correct principles in the rota.
ton of crops and to more careful
use of fertilizers, we are now produce
ing larger crops per acre than for
merly--and this without any observ-
able signs of soil exhaustion. In the
middle Atlantic states, for instance.
the yield of wheat per acre has in,
creased from an average of under 10
bushels in the decade ended in 1876
to over Is bushels in the 10 years
ended 1906. This should reassure
those Of us who have been influenced
by pessimists to anticipate time
when our farms will not supply bread
enough for the nation, and we shall
have to 60 abroad for food. --Philadel.

New YORK, May 21-Eff0rtS TO lit
the stock market have thus far met
with only occasional ,succe.s, and
arguments in favor of higher prices
fail to enlist the desired attention of
buyers Whether this Is because OF
suspicion that the big men have
been encouraging a rise for the pur-
pose of Kidding themselves of surplus
stocks, or else making market for
pending new isues; or whether it is
due to other and as yet unrecognized
tendencies remains to be seen. Com
pared with the high prices Of last
year, good stocks certainly look
cheap, and yet there are some UNI
pleasant features developing, the out
come of which must be awaited with
patience. Possibly the power to alb
sorb stocks has been temporarily inn.
paired by the recent heavy isues, or
else investors may be holding back
for better terms. In the latter atti-
tude they are meeting with no little
encouragement.
Higher interest Demanded.
Philadelphia could not place loan
at per cent, but might have sue
ceeded at Az per cent, the Pennsyl-
vania railroad having no difficulty in
disposing of a considerable issue ON a
AZ per cent basis Chicago has just
been obliged to pay Az per cent for
a new loan At last the unprece-
denied demands upon capital are be-
ginning to have their effect. There
are signs of temporary exhaustion
of buying power, and those who have
money to invest are naturally de-
manding better returns. The delay in
the issue of bonds abroad
has also exerted discouraging eff
feet: 1t now being several weeks
since rumors were current that Eu-
rope was about to buy $300,000,0O0,
while little more than sl00,000,00
have only thus far been taken Eu-
ropean buyers also appear to be in
sisting upon better terms. Needless
to say such conditions in the invest
ment market are not favorable to
higher prices for stocks.
Land 66oms IN West.
The money situation is also prob
lematical, the present ease being
largly superficial Interior banks
have been contracting their loans
when possible and sending funds to
New York, the result being an ample
supply here of call money Bankers
are wisely keeping their funds we'll
in hand. The Western situation is

the considerable over-expansion of
loans by western institutions, fire.
quently on collateral of questioned
stability. There has been great
land boom all through the west, in
which state and National banks and
other financial institutions have had
much to do in financing. While there
has been an unqDestioned and
healthy rise in land values, still ex-
cess has broken out in many plac IS,
and there Is danger of reaction.
With so large an amount Of funds
locked up in such operations, the
western banks will be less liable to
take care of the crops next fall tnan
