LATEST FEEDER FOR CALVES
Danish Woman Makes Improvement
on Small Idea That 10 Possible
TO Keep Clean.

Anyone familiar with the raising Of
calves knows the difficulties In teach
ing the calves to drink, writes ]. II.
Monrad Of Denmark in Hoard's Dairy

But, having taught the calf to drink,
the worry over its tendency to drink
too fast remains. 'Tis true, floating a
little hay or straw in the milk may put
a brake on this tendency but in our,
too bacteriology. wide-awake ca
days, this plan seems less attractive.
In the latter part of the sixties, last
century, the idea Of applying the prin-

first suggested, believe in England

SOME HISTORY OF HoLsTEINs
Cattle In America Are All Descend
ants Of or Direct lmportations
From Holland.

The cattle called Holsteins In Amer.
lea are all descendants of or direct i'm
portations from Holland and nearly all
OF them are from the provinces of
North Holland and Friesland, where
are found the types most pleasing to
Americans, writes Stanley Milward in
the Farmers Review. The antiquity of
the breed is so good, that history re-
cords no period when the shores of
the North sea and its infowing rivers
were not noted for their great black
and white cattle. The Netherland
herd book states that the pedigree OF
these cattle dates back over 1000

anyone at any place except the regu-

point are acting under similar in

river on this side saw some armed
men crossing the river at q point where
the river passes nearest to the town
of Ojinaga, and when they were or
dered to return to the Mexican side of
the river, and not to cross the river at
that point, they opened fire on the
United States soldiers, firing some
eight or 10 shots. Fortunately no one
was hit by the shooting.
