be started out on whole milk and then
gradually changed, after the first two
weeks, to skim milk. Do not change
too abruptly, for the calf's stomach
must adapt itself to the change
Handle the calves separately If
there are several. Then each will get
its share and Will do better. A row of
SMALL stanchions like those shown in
the illustration will help in this.
The calf which is raised on skim
milk should be taught to eat grain
eariys When they have access to it,
many Of them will begin eating grain
at two or three weeks of age. The
grain should be placed in box where
they can easily get to it. and they can
be encouraged at first by placing a
little in their mouths after the milk Is
fed. Grain can best be fed dry after
the milk is fed. In no case should
1t be fed in the milk. as in that case
it will be gulped down without chew
ing, which is bad for the digestion
After calf begins to eat consider
able, grain should not be kept before
1t. No more should be given than will
be cleaned up twice each day. This
will not be over half a pound daily for

is acid or sour, it should be sweetened
through the application of air Stacked
lime or finely ground limestone.
If the field is well worn a liberal
dressing of manure will act as an in
surance against probable failure. Disk
the surface of the unplowed land, after
dressing with manure, until mulch of
loose soil is on the surface. Plow to
depth of six inches or deeper, and
Immediately disk and harrow, roll and
drag until you have seed bed fit to
sow onion seed in. Then apply your
lime and limestone and again harrow.
This should provide an environment
for alfalfa send, which, with one ad-
dition, will not only supply the factors
necessary for termination but for rapid
growth and development as we'll.
The remaining re. ,isite, at least on
most soils of the state, is inoculating
with the nitrogen gathering bacteria
that use the alfalfa as a host plant
This may be applied when the seed is
being sown, if you use drill for SOW
ing, or it may be applied broadcast
either Immediately before or immedi-
ately after the sowing. In either
instant when sowed broadcast it should
be narrowed in at once. To secure
the inoculating bacteria, take the
surface from the established alfalfa field |
or from under thrifty sweet clover
plants, and scatter this .soil over the
field, remember however, to harrow
Immediately after sowing the inocula-
ting soil.
In seeding alfalfa, SOW either with
a drill or broadcast, from ten to twenty
pounds of seed per acre. If the seed
IS tested, and terminates strongly,
ess quantity may be sown, especially
when the drill is used. Seeding should
place the seed not over one and half
nches below the surface.

the first two months. After this they
may have more, but 1t will not be
necessary to feed them more than a
pound day UP to six months unless
1t is desired to push them rapidly.
An equal mixture of corn meal and
whole or crushed oats can hardly be
improved upon for supplementing skim
milk. Corn meal alone is as good as
any for the young calf, and after two
or three months 1t can eat shelled corn
just as well. The feeding of other
prepared foods IS not essential, and is
too troublesome and expensive.
For young calves. timothy and mixed
hays are better than clovers or alfalfa.
az the latter are too laxative and the
calf is likely to overeat. After three
or four months, however, they should
by all means be fed some legume hay

American Car & Foundry Company
who will construct them at their St.
Charles, Mo. shops.
Under the contract all of the fifty
cars are to be built on the steel con-
struction plan and are to be equipped
with the most modern safety devices.
The passenger cars are to have in
addition every improvement in the line
OF comfort and are to be electric lighted
and finished in mahogany with latest
designs of comfortable seats, which
are to be plush upholstered. The
most modern heating is also called for
in the specification.
The cars for which contracts were
let are in addition to the large install
ment of dining cars, passenger coaches
mail and baggage cars which the Mis-
souri, Pacific-Iron Mountain have been
receiving lately from the American
Car & Foundry Company shops at St.
Charles. The latter cars, now arriving,
are also constructed on the most mod
ern plans.
Since President B. F. Bush took
hold of the Missouri Pacific Iron
Mountain lines he has also let a con-
tract with the American Locomotive
Works for fifty freight engines of the
Mikado type. Under the agreement
made these engines are to be delivered
the latter part of the present month. |
Bids have also been asked from lead
ing manufacturers for a large number
Of passenger locomotives and a big
equipment of freight cars. It is ex-
pected that these orders will be placed
within the next week or two.
Fifty thousand tons of heavy steel
all ordered by these lines a short
ime ago have been received, and the
rack is being re-laid with them.
Another big order for steel rails is to
,e placed within a short time.

Swanger's Work at Macon.

AT Macon substantial State bank
suspended because of unfortunate
loans to a merchant establishment.
Hon. John E. Swanger, State Bank
Commissioner, took charge of it i'm
mediately and through his wise and
prudent efforts its liabilities and assets
were taken over by a new bank, which
has gone out of business with no loss
whatever to its depositors and very
little loss to its stock holders. Macon
now has three substantial banks.
No wonder the bankers of the state
approve the administration of Com
missioner Swanger. They advanced
money in 1909 and 1910 to keep his
department in good shape, its revenues
having been limited to narrow bounds
through the partisan meanness of a
Democratic Senate. It was only by
the most persuasive policy possible that
the last legislature yielded to reason
and common decency and provided for
the support of the department in 1911
and 1912. The Democratic politicians
in the legislat urefelt that bank super
vision was secondary to political inter
ests. They wanted to cripple the
work of Mr.. Swanger because he is a
Republican whose success might add
any popularity to the Hadley State ad-
ministration.

six months as one nursed by its moth
er, but it has good strong growth
of muscle and bone, often better than
the other.
There are many precautions to OBJ
serve in skim-mi1k feeding, although
a careful man naturally observes most
of them. The pals should always be
clean-as clean as the milk pals.
The milk should always be warm
and freshly separated. Old or stale
milk will very quickly give a calf the
scours. If cool milk must be fed, al
ways feed 1t cool. Never give 1t warm
one day and cool the next. Indiges-
ton will surely follow such a method.
Never allow a calf to gorge itself
on milk. The best results are OBJ
tanned when a calf Ia fed a little
less than he wants. A good rule is
to always keep the calf a little hun
cry.

A Free Course In Agriculture.

In order to encourage the study o
advanced dairy methods the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture offers a
scholarship of $4,000 for the purpose
of paying the expenses of young man
interested in dairving, during the
Short Winter Course in Agriculture al
Columbia which begins November /,
I1911.
The scholarship is to be awarded to
the winner of contest in which those
who enter will be required to keep a
complete record of the amount of milk
and butter fat produced by three or
more dairy cows during the month of
September. In determining the win
ner, the record made by the cows, to-
gether with the completeness of the
report is to count one-half. The other
half is to be based upon the accuracy
of an essay, telling how the cows were
fed and cared for during the test and
how the contestant would proceed to
select cows for dairy purposes.
The contest is open to all boys in |
Missouri between the ages of 16 and
20 years who have not already attended
an Agricultural College. It is hoped
that a large number of boys will enter
the contest. The lessons learned
during the one month of keeping
records of both feed eaten and milk
produced will amply pay any boy for
his time and effort.
The records of each COW and the
essay must be submitted before October
10, 1911. Blanks for keeping
records, directions for testing and any
'urther information wanted will be
furnished by c. H. Eckles, Dairy De-
partment, Columbia. Mo.

Raising Calf on Skim Milk
Proper Care Chief Consideration
BY c. n. Eckiss, Professor Of DaIryIng,
College Of Asricuiturs, University
Of Missouri.

The unhealthy, undersized calves
which are known as skim.milk calves
are the victims of ignorance or care
lessness. 1t Is a well established fact
that calf raised on skim milk Is as
good as one raised on whole milk. or
nursed by Its mother. The removal
OF the cream is not the important de-
feet, but the faulty and careless meth
DDS of feeding
Skim milk does not differ from
whole milk except in butter fat con-
tent. The following figures give the
average composition of each in parts
per 100:

The New Capitol.

| The old capitol Of Missouri built in
1888, after fire had destroyed the orig
inal capitol, (which stood on the
ground now occupied by the Governor s
mansion) was remodeled in 1887 at a
cost of 1920, 900, two new wings being
added, with the old structure forming
the centre, the base of the remodeled
building occupying space 800 feet
in length and 112 feet in depth, with
a terrace round about and stone steps
in front and on the southern end.
The northern end stood close to the
edge of steep bluff at the base Of
which lie the tracks of the Missouri
Pabiic Railroad. This bluff is pro-
tected from erosion and impairment by
retaining wall built of massive stone.
The new building will be set away
from this bluff 800 or 400 feet, facing
east, with a wide approach on the SOU
tn toward the new Supreme Court
building. It's southern line. will be
near the new court building, which is
now separated from the Capitol park
by block occupied with brick resi-
dences. These will be removed and
the block will be graded to conform to
the elevation of the new Capitol. The
streets now intervening between the
north line of this block will be vacated
by Jefferson City and decided to the
State, without cost; and the ground
west of the Federal building will be
cleared of the substantial brick houses
now on it and added to the park.
Thus the new capitol, the new Su-
preme court building and fine Federal
building will be grouped, and the en-
vironments of the capitol will be beau
tiful. Doubtless the old Supreme
court building and library will be raz-
ed, but the armory, substantial stone
structure on the west side OF the park
will be retained and made to conform
with the architectural design of the
Capitol. No State in the Union will
have Capitol grounds more attractive
than the Capitol park of Missouri,
t'lough some may be more spacious.
