@That Awful Boy Jones'" Who Tor
nented Queen Victoria.
For a little while about the middle
Of the nineteenth century that awful
boy Jones' was the torment of Queen
VictOria's life. and his short career in
public contains a mystery which
would try the mettle of Sherlock
Holmes.
He was a BARRIERS apprentice who in
some unexplained way discovered a
passage into Buckingham palace, with
which he alone was acquainted. When
he was first found trespassing he was
gently admonished and sent home
Soon after be was encountered again
in the palace. He woIId not tell how
he obtained access. Again he was sent
home, and again he reappeared-
Once he calmly admitted that he had
been lodging in the palace for a fort
night He had laid snug during the
day, sleeping In the royal apartments,
and at night had wandered from room
to room. helping himself to the food
left over from royal repasts. He had
seen the queen repeatedly and indeed
had never been far from her.
The matter was considered 50 seri-
ous that the boy was summoned be-
fore a special meeting OF the privy
council. He refused to give any ac-
count OF his secret. Soon after he dis
appeared. and 1t is supposed that hs
was removed under state protection

Plenty Of Water For Calves.

Calves, like other farm animals, get
thirsty, even though milk forms a
large part of their ration. Calves three
months of age will drink as much as
five quarts of water daily per head.
They drink often, slipping little at
a time A half barrel, cleaned and
replenished twice daily, will serve
nicely as a water trough.
Another good device is an auto
matte waterer which may be easily
cleaned, situated a little above the
floor to keep out the litter. Salt is
essential to the development Of the
calf. as Of other animals, and should
be kept continually available.
The Washington bee., 1911-05-20

which is always the best. But the
calf should in very early life be taught
to eat hay and oats.
Keep some good, bright clover hay
where he can get at it at viii. Keep a
shallow box of oats where he can nose
around it, and if the oats get stale
clean out the box and put in a fresh
supply.
In very short time the calf will be
eating both oats and hay, and after he
has learned to eat well you can fool
him by skimming the milk and putting
a little water in if milk is scarce. By
working him gradually you can work
off some buttermilk on him, with other
things as well, and he will grow and
make a fine animal.
Don't turn him out when the first
green grass comes, but keep him in a
lot OF paddock, where he can get ex
ercise and go in the barn when he
wants to, and feed him all the good
clover hay he will eat in connection
with his other feed, and you will have
a calf that will knock the socks off,
any grass fed calf you ever saw.
The quarters of the calf should be
kept clean at all times. If the bedding
becomes soiled a fresh supply should
be put in. The quarters, too, should
be rOomy, airy and light. If the SUB
shine can stream in all the time, 50
much the better Sunshine is a great
health promoter for all kinds of young
things

Birds and INSECT Life

Men of science are generally agreed
that birds are natures great check on
the excess Of insects and that they
maintain the balance between plant
and insect life. Ten thousand cater
pillars, It has been estimated, could
destroy every blade Of grass on an
area Of cultivated land. The insect
population of a single cherry tree In
tested with aphides has been esttmat-
ed by a prominent entOmOlOgtst at no
less than 100000 The bird popula-
ton of cultivated country districts has
been esltmated at from 700 to 1000 per
square mile. This is small compared
with the number Of insects, yet as
each bird consumes hundreds Of In

FAMOUS GO0DWOOD.
Phons MaiH 2315

Something About a Historic English
Race Course.
The Goodwood race course is quite
unique. 1t is a long way from a sta
ton and is not near any town, says the
London Taller. 1t is on a hill the top
Of which is shaped like a horseshoe,
the space between the two horns being
represented by deep ravine. The
course runs round the horseshoe, the
start being at the end Of one horn and
the finish at the end OF the other. The
result Of this Is that the equestrians
who on other courses eontrive TO see
both start and finish by the simple
process Of riding across while the race
is in progress cannot do so at Good
wood. They must elect which they
Will see and remain there On the
other hand, the course is very easy 70
follow with glasses.
The races as an institution are COM
paratively modern. but there must
have been hunt races and matches on
this course since the days OF William
III, when we hear OF the GOodwo0d
hunt as in existence. In 1900, how
ever, the then Duke Of Richmond
made q new course. which is practical
Iy the present one. In 1901 the course
was completed, and In order to ceIe-
brate this a regular meeting was got
up by the duke with the assistance Of
the hunt and some officers OF the Sus-
sex militia and yeomanry. and prizes
to the value Of about FL 900 were put
up. This meant a good sum Ia those
days. This was the first GOodwood
meeting OF importance, and from that
year il became an annual event.
