A Woman's Sacrifice.

Three years ago a startling tale came
to light concerning a prominent bust
ness man in Austria. He found him
self on the brink of ruin, and his wife
came to his rescue at the cost of her
own life Leaving an overheated room
one night, she walked up and down a
stone tagged passage, barefoot and
with nothing on but a nightdreSs, till
she caught a chill which she aggravat-
ed by a series Of reckless acts. In
fammation of the lungs set in, and she
died shortly afterward. Her husband
obtained the large sum of money for
which her life was insured and witt
this he was able to pull through the
crisis successfully. He married for a
second time within three months Of his
first wife's death This husband did
not get off scot free, however. A serv-
ant in his employ had overheard the
conversation in which the heroic
young wife had told her husband her
intention to die for his sake. The serv-
ant informed the police. Then the in
surance companies cOntended it was a
case of suicide and sued successfully
for the return of the money. The hus-
band was prosecuted for being an ac-
cessory to his wife's death and re-
ceived the punishment he we'll merited

grain, plus 31.8 pounds of butter fat,
is equivalent to 1872 pounds of grain,
or "a pounds of grain is equivalent to
318 pounds of butter fat, which
means that two pounds of grain when
fed with the proper amount Of skim
milk is equivalent for calf feeding to
one pound of butter fat. With but

There is also little or no danger of
the calf fed skim milk eating too
much grain. The young calf makes
better gains for grain consumed than
the older calf, which is an additional
reason for giving it all it will eat.
Limiting the grain ration causes a
loss in gain and is seldom to be rec
commended.

How to Tell if Your Hair is
Diseased.


Even if you have luxuriant head of
hair you may want to know whether it
is in a healthy condition or not 90 per
cent of the people need a hair tonic.
Pull hair out of your head; if the
bulb at the end of the root is shrunken,
it proves that the hair is diseased, and
requires prompt treatment if its loss
would be avoided. If the bulb is pink
and full, the hair is healthy.
We want every one whose hair re-
quires treatment to try ReXall "93''

not cost anything if it does not give

Clearing and
Flowing
New Heavy
Clay Lands

Clearing the land of underbrush,
small stumps, and dead timber as a
rule Is not a very expensive process
In most cases this can be done on
''cut-over" land for from SIS to 81 an
acre. To rid the land of large pine
stumps is not so easy matter and
frequently the cost of removing such
stumps exceeds $40 an acre.
On clay lands, blasting stumps with
dynamite, iudiciously used, is the most
economical method of treating them.
The amount of explosive to use for q
single stump cannot we'll be told be-
forehand. Much depends on the size
Of the stump as also on the condition
of the ground when the blasting is
done.
AS a rule, much more effective work
can be done when the ground is wet
than when it is dry. 1t requires con-
siderable experience to use dynamite
economically, and ordinarily the mex
perienced settler will find it profitable
to employ a professional stump blast
er until he has learned the art him
self
In developing a clay farm, it is adj
visable to get clover started as soon
as possible If 1t does not grow nat
urally in the locality After burning
the brush and dead timber, it is good
plan to go over the land with a spring
tooth harrow or disc and SOW the
clover. The clover helps to keep brush
and weeds down, adds nitrogen to the
soil, and furnishes hay or pasture.
The best available time for break
ing new land is usually in June, after
the spring work is finished and before
haying begins. At this time the brush
and weeds are we'll started and thus
are more easily destroyed by cultiva-
ton. Another opportune season is in
the fall, particularly on land which is
fairly free from brush.
II the land has been broken in June
it should be seeded to winter rye late
In August or In early September. The
next spring. SOW clover in the rye. The
rye is harvested in July, and the Glow
nishes grain and also considerable
straw for bedding and feeding. AS
soon as clover is once started the ro-
tation of crops can be established.
Care should be taken not to let cat
de Craze on young clover during wet
spells, for that may result in the Glow
ar winter-killing the following spring.
All working Of the heavy clays
should be done only when the soil is
IN proper condition, that is, when it is

Rearing
Heifers
on a Skim
Milk Diet

Coed dairy COWS can be reared from
early calfhoCd on skim milk as their
principal diet Not over ten to twelve
pounds Of milk daily should be fed un-
til the calf is five to seven weeks old
Later the amount may be increased
to fourteen or sixteen pounds and at
three months may, though not always,
go to about twenty pounds. The
amount fed, however, must be care
fully regulated by the ability of the
calf to handle it without securing.
The following method has been sue
cessfully used as a guide:
Lbs. skim milk
per day.
For the 1st 100 lbs live weight.....
For the % 100 lbs. live Weight........
For the Sd 100 lbs. live Weight.......... ~
A calf weighing so pounds would be
fed, according to this plan, 812 pounds
Zone gallon) of skim milk; a calf
weighing 300 pounds would be getting
a little over II pounds 1.-TWO gallons)
per day If skim milk is available 1t
can be fed proftably to the dairy calf
six to eight months, or even year.
Whenever the calf does not eat
readily, cut down the supply Of milk.
The adding of boiling water or scald.
ing the milk may help materially at
such times.
Skim Milk a Cheap Feed.
The economy Of skim milk is well
illustrated in an experiment where 20
calves were divided in two lots as
nearly equal as possible and one lot
fed skim milk and the other lot whole
milk When butter fat -four per cent
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1911-04-20

milky Is worth 30 cents per pound
skim milk 20 cents per 100 pounds,
grain 81 per 100 pounds, and hay So
per ton, the feed cost by the two
methods is as follows
Whole milk lot, cost per head S33. 81
Skim milk lot, cost per head. sos
This indicates that it is four times
as expensive to raise a calf on whole
milk as it is on skim milk, although
the whole milk calves gained 1876
pounds daily per head and the skim
milk calves Isl pounds.
Looking at the problem from an
other standpoint, the whole milk
calves consumed So pounds Of grain
and 31.8 pounds of butter fat per 100
pounds of gain. The skim milk calves
consumed 1872 pounds of grain per 100

A HAUNTED ROOM.
The Mysterious Light That George
Cary EggIeston Defied.

There was and perhaps still is
room in a certain house in Virginia
which was supposed to be haunted.
Every time person slept there he
would be sure to wake after awhile to
find the whole room pervaded by a
dim yellowish gray or grayish yellow
light. 1t was very dim at first. but it
increased steadily till the occupant of
the chamber fled from the nameless
terror in panic. Mr.. George Cary Egg
gleston was not to be daunted by these
tales and accordingly decided to try a
night there. In "RecOllectiOnS of a
Varied Life" he tells what happened:
1t was about midnight when l en-
tered the room. 1t was raining heav-
lily, and the wind was rafting the
stout shutters of the eight great win
dOws of the room.

After a time l suddenly walked to
find the room dimly pervaded by that

ening was so complete that all my fac
ulties were alert at once. | felt under
