FROM THE CALF TO THE cow
First Few Months Care viii Largely
Determine What the Grown Ami
NAL VIII Ultimately Be.

In order to make good dairy COW
we must start with the calf of some
good dairy type. The care that the
calf or any farm animal for that mat
ter gets for the first few months will
largely determine the quality of the
adult animal. Giving the calf a good,
strong, healthy start is one of the
prime essentials of success in grow
ing It.
The calf need not be kept rolling
fat, but it should be kept thrifty
growing from start TO finish.
Except for beef production with the
beef type, II is best to raise the calf
by hand method When 1t is a day or
two old take It away from its dam and
teach 1t 10 drink milk
For the first feed take some warm
milk fresh from the COW and place
some with the hand on the calf's
mouth. II will lick this with its
tongue and Of course find that it is
good. Then place the pail up to its
mouth so that the warm milk will
touch its lips.
Be patient for the first time. It will
require several minutes and possibly
nearly an hour, but when once It
learns what is In the pail and how to
take the food there will be no further
trouble in urging 1t to eat.
II may be necessary the first few
times for you to wet two fingers with
milk and allow the calf to suck up the
milk with the hand partly immersed
in the liquid.
Feed whole milk warm from the
COW about two weeks and then gradu-
ally substitute skimmilk for the whole
till at the end of the fourth week
nothing but shmmllk is given.
Always warm the milk. as it is most
natural for the young animal and de-
mands less energy from the digestive
organs.
After the third month the calf will
begin to want extra water. and some
may be mixed with the milk.
The calf at this age should be al
lowed access to drinking water every
day. At the end Of four months milk
may be withheld and other feeds sub
stituted, as the calf will then begin
to nibble on hay and other feeds.
From this stage on place some fine
well cured and reserved hay where
it can reach H. When Ii Is ely weeks
old give it q handful Of shelled corn,
or place corn meal in the milk feed

FILLER FOR MILK BOTTLES
Device Invented by Massachusetts
Mar Provides for Filling Sew
eraI Of Them at Once.

A device for filling milk bottles.
by which several Of them can be
filed at time. has been invented by
a Massachusetts, man. OF course, the
apparatus can be used for other
liquids than milk, but was primarily
designed for the latter. A lateral
pipe running from the tank in which
the fluid is kept has openings at in
tervals along it, Under these open
ings are tiltable spouts. removably
attached. The bottles are sent in a
row under these spouts. and in a
pan with a Slated tray in the bot
tom, so that the overflow from the
bottles can drop through, and not be
wasted. The flow of milk into the
pipe is regulated by a spigot just as
the flow of water is through the

GOOD WORK WELL SUPPORTED
People Are Liberal in Their contribu-
tions to Young Mems Christian
Associations.

This year Young Mea's Christian as
sociations are likely. it is said, to
break all records in amount of money
raised for new buildings. Tho success
at Philadelphia, when $1,03O,000 was
secured in twelve days. has given slim
illus both to Young Mems and Young
Women's associations. Added to it
was the 100000 campaign for build
ing in foreign capitals. Brooklyn
women, with the aid of a few men,
have Just secured $415,000; Atlanta
men, 100000; Reading. s217, 1000;
Elyria, Ohio, $4,000, where the com
mittee asked for but 100000; Charles
ton, S. c., $4,000; Raleigh, N. c..
$4,000; Walla Walla, Wash, S4S,00
and Ishpeming, Mich, $22,5 500. Associ-
alton leaders say three things help
them in getting these large sums

There should be no guesswork in
dairying
Warmth should be supplied 10 all
farm animals but not at the expense
OF fresh air.
Watch the pastures and give the
COW feed of some kind to keep her
wants supplied
Some pastures are so poor that the
COW is forced to eat things she does
not like IN order to live.
The first great requisite in the care
Of stock is perfect cleanliness, Jd!re
air and abundant sunshine.
The proper test Of any seed grain
is not how it looks but what It will
grow under field conditions.
II requires only about half as much
grain to produce 100 POUNDS Of gain
on calves as on two yesr olds,
A few poor COWS NAV do little per

MENTAL ACCURACY
Greatly Improved by Leaving Off Coffes

The manager of an extensive cream
cry in Wis. states that while regu-
lar coffee drinker, he found it injuri-
Gus to his health and hindrance To
the performance of his business du-
ties.
ut impaired my digestion, gave me
a distressing sense of fullness in the
region of the stomach, causing a most
painful and disquieting palpitation of
the heart, and what is worse, it mud
died my mental faculties so as to seri-
ously injure my business efficiency.
Il finally concluded that something
would have to be done. quit the use
of coffee, short off, and began to drink
Postum. The cook didn't make it
right at i ST. She didn't boil it long
enough, and did not find it palatable
and quit using it and went back to cot
fee and to the stomach trouble again.
Then my wife took the matter in
hand, and by following the directions
on the box, faithfully, she had me
drinking Postum for several days be-
for I knew it.
when l happened to remark that
l was feeling much better than I had
for a long time, she told me that 1
had been drinking Postum, and that
accounted for it. Now we have no
coffee on our table.
my digestion has been restored,
and with this improvement has come
relief from the oppressive sense of
fuliness and palpitation of the heart
that used to bother me so. note such
a gain in mental strength and acute
ness that I can attend to my Office
work with ease and pleasure and with
out making the mistakes that were so
annoying to me while l was using
coffee.

Clean Sanitary Floors.

Yarnish. which is commonly regard
ed only as a beautifer, is an efficient
sanitary agent. Vanished surfaces can
be cleaned by wip4ng. aud the microbe-
laden dust is thus kept out of the air.
A vanished floor is therefore not only
up TO date. beautiful and easily clean
ed, but is wholesome. The National
Association of Yarnish Manufacturers,

are distributing free a booklet entitled
Modern Floors" which tells how
floors may be made and kept whole

Varnish is cheaper than carpet and

A Willy JUDGE.

At an assize court, according to the
London Times, a juror claimed ex-
emption from serving on the ground
that he was deaf. The judge held a
conversation with the clerk of ar
raigns on the subject, and then, turn
ing to the man, at whom he looked in
tently. he asked in a whisper: Are
you very deaf?" Very" was the I'M
guarded reply. $50 I perceive" was
the rejoinder of the judge, "but not
whisper deaf. You had better go into

that led the sedentary people of this
canyon to utilize the caverns for shell.
ter. Again, the inroads of enemies
never led to the abandonment of these
great clinhouses, if we can impute
valor in any appreciable degree to the
inhabitants Fancy, for instance, the
difficulty, or. rather. improbability, Of
number of nomadic warriors great
enough to drive out the population of
Kitsiel, making their way up Cataract
canyon and besieging the pueblo. Such
an approach would have been impos-
sible. Marauders might have raided
the Kitsiel cornfields, but they could
not have dislodged the inhabitants.
Even if they had succeeded in cap
turing one house, but little would have
been gained, as it was a custom of the
Pueblos to keep enough food in store
to last more than year. In this con-
nection the question is pertinent
While hostiles were besieging Kit
siel how could they subsist during
any length of time? Only with the ut
most difficulty, even with aid of ropes
and ladders, can one now gai1 access
to some of these ruins Eow could
marauding parties have entered them
If the inhabitants were hostile? The
cliff dwellings were constructed part
~ for defense. but mainly for the
shelter afforded by the overhanging
cliff, and the cause of their desertion
was not due so much to predatory
enemies as failure of crops or the dis.
appearance of the water supply.
The writer does not regard these
ruins as of great antiquity; some of
the evidence indicates that they are
of later time. Features in their archi-
lecture show resemblances derived
from other regions.
Ruins Not Of Great Antiquity.
The Navahoes ascribe the build.
!ngs to ancient people and say that
the ruined houses existed before their
own advent in the country, but this
was not necessarily long ago. Such
evidence as has been gathered sup
ports Hopi legends that the inhabi.
tants were ancient Hopi, belonging to
the Flute, Horn and Snake families.
There is no evidence that cliff
house architecture developed in these
canyons. and rude structures older
than these have been found in this
region. Whoever the builders of these
structures were, they brought their
craft with them. The adoption of the
defector in the rectangular ceremo-
nial-rooms called kihus implies the
derivation of these rooms from cir
cular kivas, and all indications are
that the ancient inhabitants came
from higher up San Juan river
Many of the ruins in Canyon de
Chiefly situated east of Laguna creek,
show marked evidence Of being mod.
ern, and they in turn are not so old
as those of the Mesa Verde. If the
ruins become older as we go up the
river the conclusion is logical that the
migration of the San Juan culture was
down the river from east to west,
rather than In the opposite direction.
The scanty traditions known to the
author support the belief in a migra-
ton from east to west, although there
were exceptional instances Of clan
movements In the opposite direction.
The general trend of migration would
indicate that the ancestral home OF
the Snake and Flute people was In
Colorado and New Mexico

The Milk Cow

The nervous temperament Of tho
milk COW is much more highly de-
veloped than that of any other farm
animal. If the cow has q bright,
placid eye, and a clean-cut, lean ap-
pearance, indicating that her food is
converted TO milk rather than beef.
we may conclude that she is a good
producer If the eye be dull and the
body covered with flesh the animal
as a rule is lazy, and is not adapted
to the active life which a profitable
milk COW must lead.
