DEEP MYSTERY or THE PRESS
Correspondents Always Declared They
Knew Nothing, But the Papers
Were Full Of News.

Until recently there was an aged
elevator man who operated one Of
the lifts in the house wing of the
capitol. Most Of his passengers we're
either representatives or newspaper
correspondents. The old man got to
know all of the correspondents very
well and always had a cheerful greet
ing for them. 1t was often noticed,
too, that he seemed to be greatly in
terested in their conversation.
One afternoon, as three Of them
stepped out Of the elevator, Serene
Payne Of New York stepped in. AS
the car went down the old elevator
man turned and said:
"Mr. Payne, | can't understand
about those newspaper men. They
puzzle me-"
whats the trouble with them p
asked Mr.. Payne.
well, Mr.. Payne, every day they
ride in this car one Teller will turn
to another and say, What do you
know todsyP' And the other fellow
will answer, Not a - thing. What
do you knowP' Then the first feller
will answer, Nothing And yet, Mr..
Payne, the papers are Just full of
news every day. 1t beats me where
they get it."
'Tt beats me, too" said Mr..
Payne.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Only one-third of the dry matter OF 1000

milk is suitable fos human food. Feed
often with small amounts to avoid over
feeding. Teach the calf to drink and feed
whole milk for at least three weeks,

The amount of milk feed should be
carefully regulated. A good plan with
the normal calf is to give pounds q

day. fed sweet and at blood tempera-
ture. In the state of nature the calf gets
milk containing about 8 per cent fat. Our
domesticated cows have been bred in
some instances to give nearly twice this
amount Milk that is too rich may cause
serious trouble. from scours, and in feed
ing such milk care should be exercised
to give limited amounts at the proper
Temperatures The feeding of whole milk
should be continued for about three or
four weeks, when the number of meals
may be reduced to two per day. From
one-half to pint of skim milk may now
be substituted for an equal quantity OF
whole milk The amount of skim milk
may be gradually increased and the
amount of whole milk correspondence
decreased until, at the end OF week or
ten days, the calf is getting all skim

Skim milk is a cheap feed Tor caves

quantities and only while it is warm

principal diet of the calf for eight months
