COUNTY OPTION ANOTHER BEN
NETT LAW.

The republican party is face to
face with one of the gravest problem
since the Bennett Law of 20 years
ago made it possible for the demo
Gratis to capture the state, elect two
United States Senators and put the
G. o. P out of business.
There is a movement led by a man
who is trying to make county OPP
ton an issue. This leader of the
county optionists is a candidate for
governor. He never did anything for
the republican party to entitle him
to recognition, but in an attempt to
gain support from some of the p.o-
gressiEes who are being misled as, to
the real issue, he is vociferously in
favor of county option.
In the event of his nomination, the
republican party will suffer defeat
at the polls in November. 1t should
be remembered that the Germans of
Wisconsin never did take kindly to
restrictive measures, ana county Op-
tion would prove the same boomerang
as the Bennett Law did. The Ger
man vote in this state is estimated
at 100000 the majority of which vote
the republican ticket. If county op
ton candidate is nominated this vote
which will practically decide the q
lection, will go to other parties.
The progressive cause would receive
a severe setback, and an idea which
is largely pushed by a man who is
trying to buy the governorship to
satisfy a within, will be responsible. A
man who believes in representative
government should pause and consid-
er what far-reaching effects divi-
sion of progressives would have

The Care of Evergreens.
Do not overlook the pruning, or per-

greens, as it consists of little more than
taking out the dead branches and

look into the center of most evergreens
you will find mass Of dead twigs and
leaves. All this should be cleaned out,
and If the plant Is not too dense on the
outer side you will find new growth
start from where you have taken the
dead wood. The plants will be much
benefited, as 1t will remove the harbors

and oat meal are the best feeds for
such calves. Cottonseed meal should
not be fed to the young calf and
when fed to older calves should be
given in small quantities A liberal
supply of clover or peavine hay
should always be in reach of the calf,
but should not be wastefully fed
Kindness is an essential in the sue
cessful growing Of calves or any other
live stock. In fact. the man who is
OF hasty temper will never be a
successful dairyman. Let no man
flatter himself that he can raise good
calves on skim milk by herding them
all together and feeding like a bunch
OF swine.
The things necessary to the sue
cessful growing OF skim milk calves,
are summed up as follows:
The calf must have the first milk
OF It's dam; whole milk should be
fed for the nrst two weeks: all
changes in feed should be made grad
ually; all milk must be fed warm
and sweet and In clean vessels; be
careful not to over-feed; teach the
calves to eat grain and hay as soon
as possible; the calves should have a
clean, well lighted stall, and It is de-
sirable for them to have the run o. a

~7F ALL ANIMALS on the farm, |

IVY good treatment more than the
calf intended to be kept for the dairy
and yet on many farms, l am sorry to
say, no animal receives worse treat
ment than this selfsame calf. Very
often five or more calves will be plac-
ed in the same pen, or stall, and fed
out of a wooden trough, like SO many
pigs, and their owner wonders why
his calves look so stunted.
The writer has raised grade dairy
calves on skim milk and grain and
made the steers weigh 500 pounds at
a year old, and it was done in the
following manner: They were al
lowed to run with their dams for
about three days, then put in stall
away from the cows, and left for "a
hours without trying to feed them.
BY this time the calf had become
hungry and was easily taught to
drink milk, by allowing it to suck two
fingers and gradually lowering the
hand into the pail Of milk.
The first week the calves were fed
three quarts of new milk daily, this
was given in three feeds, and was al
ways warm. The second week the
calves were fed three and one-half
quarts Of new milk a day, in two
feeds. At the end of this time skim
milk was mixed with the whole milk,
beginning by taking out one-half pint
Of the whole milk and adding a like
amount of skim milk
The amount of skim milk substi-
tuted in this way was gradually in
creased until by the end Of the fourth
week the calves were getting all skim
milk and were receiving about FIVE
quarts a day.
In the meantime, the calves had
been taught to eat grain. This was
done by rubbing each calf's nose with
a little bran or corn meal, as soon as
it had finished drinking its milk.
Handled in this way. calves will learn
to eat grain and hay when two or
three weeks old.
These calves were each fed the
milk separately in little pail. In
order to do this successfully, each
calf was put into a little stanchion
before feeding and was left there
until it had eaten the grain ration.
then turned loose
Drawings of these stanchions are

partment OF Agriculture. Dairy Dr.
vision. The pals in which the calves
were fed were washed and summed
daily. Many of the calf diseases are
brought on by feeding in wooden
troughs or in old dirty vessels. Also
more trouble is caused by over-feed-
ing than by under-feeding. Many peo-
pie think that because they are feed
ing skim milk. they must needs feed
large quantities In order to make up
Tor the butter fat removed. This is
serious mistake. Skim milk is
rlcher in the muscle-building food
lhan whole milk and should not he
fed in any larger quantities. Two
gallons and a quarter Of skim milk
daily is enough for the calf three
months old.
One of the incest grain feeds for
the young calf is shelled corn. This
however, should not be fed in largo
quantities to the bull or heifer calf
