'rhs Old Crooks Advice to His Bril-

IAN this easy talk about honest
graft" said an author. makes me
tired. There isn't any such thing.
Honest graft is on a par with the
point Of view Of an incorrigible old
crook I ran across when was doing
police work on a Chicago paper years
ago. The venerable reprobate had
son about eighteen years old. whom
he had carefully trained to follow in
his Own footsteps. They lived togeth-,
er. and every night the old man used
to make the boy fork over the pro-
ceeds OF the days pocketpicking, al
lowing him just enough to live on.
FINALLY the young crook began to
rebel inwardly. and one night. after
particularly good days haul. he secret
Iy pawned a diamond scarfpin and
kept the money himself He gave the
old thief the rest of the swag. how
ever. and it was so goodly pile that
he opened his heart and handed the
astonished boy IS and told him to go
TO prizefght or somewhere and en-
tOy himself. So the boy began to put
on his only glad rags. But be seemed
strangely silent and distraught The
old man noticed it and demanded to
know what was the matter and If the
s. wasn't enough. and so on.
Suddenly the lad burst into tears.
-GVT'nor.' he sobbed. I amt no right
to this FIVE spot. Here's $40 got on

Home Made Calf Stanehion.

There Is money in calves raised by
hand. If one is equipped for 1t or will
equip himself, 1t is believed to be
more profitable In every way to raise
calves by hand than to let them run
with the dams. This has been dem
onstrated over and over, but because
of the slightly additional amount of
work necessary it is not practiced SO
often as would really be profitable,
says the Kansas Farmer. There are
many cases, Of course, where emer-
gencies demand that the calf be raised
by hand. There are more cases
where this could be done profit
ably If 1t were undertaken in the right
way
One of the conveniences which is
desirable In the development of calves
by hand feeding is the stanchion
shown in the accompanying cut. 1t
does not require long to train the
calves SO that they will go of their
own accord to their proper places and
the stanchion is 80 easily and so
cheaply built that 1t does not pay to
do without it
AS shown in the cut, 1t is intended
to be built into and as part of the
fence surrounding the calf pasture.
The materials necessary are some 2
by 4s for the frame work, and some
barrel slaves for the upright pieces
which enclose the calves heads.
These barrel slaves are placed in
such manner that one Of them which
fits about the Calls neck Is movable
ct the upper end. The lower end is
held in place by a 20-penny nail driven
through the center Of the stave so
that it may act as a hinge and allow
the upper end to move freely for the
insertion and removal Of the Calls
head
On the outside of the stanchion,
which is part of the Calls pasture
fence. is placed rack as shown in

which is intended to hold ordinary
milk crooks for feeding the calves. In
these crooks can be placed the skim
milk for the calves and with it any
grain ration that may be desirable to
gfve them. The particular stanchion
from which this picture was taken
was owned by man who had great
faith in Kaf1r corn as a grain ration
for his calves. His custom was to
place the feed of Kafir corn in the
crock with the milk, and let the
calves do the rest These crooks are
easily emp&ied and easily cleaned,
while the calves are not using them
they can be left in place for the SUM-
shine to purify and cleanse.
The estimated cost of this calf
stanchion where all materials must be
purchased, is about $3.50. This pro-
provides for a stanchion large enough
to accommodate six calves, though
the cut shows provision for only four.
Of course, the stanchion can be made
as long or as short as may be desired
and on most farms the material nee
essary is already at hand. In such
cases the cost would be nothing more
than the labor of construction. The
drawing is so clearly made that per-
haps no further details are necessary
about the method of building, and any
man who is handy with tools can con-
struct this stanchion in very short
time and have 1t In operation.
The results of experimental work
in calf feeding at the Kansas ex-
pertinent station have been pub
lished in the form of bulletins. and
may be had by addressing that instt
tuition.

TRAINING EFFORT is WASTED
Why Uncle Sam Fails to Get Enough
Officers From West Point
School.

Congress has spent 100000 or
school in the world at West Point,
appropriating a million and half dol
lars or more yearly to maintain 1t
for the purpose of training officers to
command the armies of the United
States. Yet 1t has been compelled to
insert in the recent army appropria-
ton bill an amendment which will
add 612 officers to the line of the
army to be appointed from civil life
ID order to fill vacancies which still
exist after the great training school
has done it's work.
At least % per cent of the capac-
ity of the military academy is habitual-
ly wasted; one-fourth Of the rooms are
habitually vacant; during the last
year there have been 1872 vacancies In
the corps of cadets because senators
and members of the house have either
failed to select the right kind of boys
for candidates or have neglected to
select any, as has been the case in
several states and congressional dis
tricts. Because the number of grad
yates is habitually less than the num-
Der of vacancies in the army occurring
annually, the president is always COM
PEELED to appoint large number Of
unframed men from civil life.
There are ten times 10000 boys
scattered through this country who
would be glad to go to West Point. if
they knew how to get there, and half
of those who are so fortunate as to
obtain appointments are not prepared,
through ignorance of what is neces
sary to do, and because of the short
time allowed them after their APP
pointment to pass the examination.
The law requires that candidates
shall be appointed one year in advance
in order that they may have time to
prepare, but senators and members of
the house neglect to obey it in many
cases until a week or two before the
examinations take place, SO that the
candidates have no opportunity to
brush UP their studies or to find out
what is expected of them.

GUN TO DESTROY AEROPLANE
United States Navy Department Ex'
perimenting With Cannon Capable
of Smashing Flying Machines.

The nations of the world are taking
note of the aeroplane as a factor in
future warfare. Several of them are
experimenting with guns designed to
demolish them and soon air batteries
will be as common in military serv-
ice as land batteries now are.
A one-pound gun has been de-
signed by Admiral Twining of the
United States navy, which can hurl
a projectile into the air distance of
$4,000 feet, or almost three miles and
a half-higher by several thousand
feet than any aeroplane has as yet
reached. The gun discharges its
projectile at an angle Of So degrees.
The success of this gun has led to
the project of building threeinch
gun. which will be capable of hurting
missile into the air a distance Of
seven miles.
Still another aerial gun has been
designed under the supervision of
Brig. Gen. William Crozie-, with
range Of seven miles. 1t is a six

Owing to the dislike of the Great
ures for new and unfamiliar surround
ings, it is advisable in many cases to
provide a breeding pool for them in
order that the young may establish
themselves where they are wanted.
A shallow pool of cement, having g.
small but constant water supply Is
sufficient. Stagnant water is better
than running water from the stand
point of the toad raiser.
The young toads will leave the
water by midsummer or before mos
quitoes become abundant, and the
pool should then be drained to pre-
vent mosquito breeding. A small in
door aquarium protected from mos
quitoes by screens, may prove more
satisfactory than an outdoor pool
Supply with fresh water plants and
clans, and feed the toads with bits
Of dog biscuit or chopped fresh meat
as needed. Do not feed more of any
food than the toads and tadpoles will
consume, or the water will become
contaminated. The outdoor pool can
be screened against mosquitoes, IL
desired, provided the toads are fed.
For garden shelters, make shallow
holes in the ground and cover with
fiat stones or boards The toads will
retire into these in the daytime and
come forth at dusk for their nightly
forays.
Toads are especially valuable to
greenhouse men, keeping down slugs.

pleted at the Rock Island arsenal and
is to be tested at Sandy Hook with
In a short time. In its experiments
the gun will be aimed at balloons and
box kites and it is possible that a real
airship may be used.
The shells which this gun will fire
are described as remarkable devices.
They will be loaded with dunnite or
other high explosive, and on bursting
will send a shower of shot in a cone
like area, similar to the performance
of a skyrocket, almost certain to
strike an airship If aimed with any
degree of accuracy. The sight of the
new gun has been perfected, and is
designed to meet the changing condi-
tons of the trajectory of projectile
fired at varying angles.
