One Way to Hold the Boys.

A good deal Of newspaper space has
been devoted of late years to the ques-
ton of how to keep the boy on the
farm. W. T. May, a farmer living near
Guthrie, Okla, has solved it to his en-
tire satisfaction. Mr.. May has several
boys, and last spring he gave them a
tract of Is LIZ acres to do with as
they pleased. They planted the land
to cotton, and here is what they made
from it: Cotton sold for 1912; cotton.

Upon the little men that dot the

And all the tiny tracing of the town.
For once to measure with an infinite

The little things of earth from

And thence to view the works and

And Judge their values with a
clearer sight
o joy to race the winds, and hear
them signing,
To cleave the clouds, and spring,
and swoop and rise,
And on and on, in the infinite up
winging
With throbbing pulse and sun-con-
fronted eyes!
To soar, alone, above, in the immense
Blue freedom of the sky, where time
and space
Dissolve in joy of motion, and the
sense
OF power outruns the little earthly
race.
OF creeping memo God! what joy

With powers like these? Greater,

From kinship with the all transcend

ATTENTION TO BULLS FEET
Where Animal Is Rather Closely Con-
fined His Feet Will Need Con-
siderable Trimming.

The feet of a bull demand more or
less attention, especially if he is rath-
er closely confined and getting a lib
eral supply of grain. The feet should
be trimmed so that the animal always
has the proper use of the same. Some
bulls are as easily handled as a gen
tie horse, and their feet can be
trimmed without the slightest diff
Guilty However, this is rather the ex-
ception than the rule. The most sat
isfactory way is to put the animal in
stocks and raise it off its feet. Then,
by strappHng the foot to be trimmed,
solid to a beam, so that the sole will
be facing upward, the operation can
be executed with pincers and chisel
in a few minutes. Care should be
taken to avoid cutting too deep or
into the sensitive part of the foot, as
this would be very likely to cause
bleeding and lameness.

DAIRY COWS DURING SUMMER
Method of Handling Animals on Wash
ington Farm-Owner Prefers
Fall or Winter Calves.

The following is the method Of
handling dairy COWS in summer on
the dairy farm OF L. H. Blanchard of
Jefferson county. Wash This dairy
farm has been such a success that it
has received national renown.
The dairy cows on this farm are
given small feed of hay early in the
morning. About eight o'clock the
COWS are turned out to pasture. At
noon they are stalled and given a feed
of green forage. Another such feed
is given at $3.50 p. m, and still an
other at 500 p. NJ, after which they
are turned out to pasture for the
night The quantity given at each
Of these feeding periods is governed
by the amount the COWS will clean Up.
In feeding soiling crops it is impor-
tant not to put too much feed before
the cows at a time. After they have
mouthed over the green stuff for a
while they refuse to eat it and call
for fresh material They should be
given only what they will eat before
they have fouled it too much to relish.
w ACA AL4C nay 40 Vi I1S OSSL A0oA-
ity no grain is fed during the soiling
period except when rye is fed, even
to fresh COWS, but if the hay is not
of the best a small quantity of grain
is fed fresh COWS at the morning
feed.
The owner Of this farm prefers to
raise fall and winter calves for the
dairy 1t is more convenient under
his conditions to give them the atten-
ton they need than in the case of
those born at other seasons. The
calves are allowed to nurse their dams
only once After this they are fed
their mothers milk for two weeks,
The first week they are given two
quarts of milk in the morning, one
quart at noon, and two quarts in the
evening. The second week they are
given three quarts twice a day, morn
ming and evening. During the next
two weeks the feed of the calf con-
sists of half whole and half skim
milk, with a pinch of fax seed meal
quantity of milk fed during this Pc
Rod (the second two weeks) is about
three quarts twice day.
After a calf is a month old it is
given four quarts of skim milk twice
a day, with an ounce Of fax seed meal
and handful of mixed corn meal
and ground oats. The calf is taught
to eat this by putting the mixture in
the milk a few times. Then the grain
is fed dry, after the skim milk. Feed
ing this dry material after the skim
milk is finished prevents the calves
from sucking each other when they
are let out of the stanchions in which
they are fed. The quantity Of grain
is gradually increased until at two
months of age the calf is receiving
a quart of the mixture a day. About
this time the feeding of a small guam
tity of roots and silage begins and
the calves are given all the hay they
will eat Milk is fed until the calves
are six months old, sometimes long
er. They have access to fresh water
at all times.

Dairy farming makes better farms,

KIDNAPPED BY BALLOON

An officer of the garrison at Ingol-

one day lately, when a military cap
tive balloon broke loose from it's an
chorage. The officer, who was a no.
vice at ballooning, was taking his first
lessons in the art when the balloon
broke away. He was unable to manip-
ulate the gas valve. Finally, when the
balloon had reached a height of 49,
500 feet, the officer clambered to the
top of the gas bag, and succeeded il
wrenching open the valve. Then the
balloon began headlong descent near
Munich. AS the balloon was nearing

into a tree and was only slightly in
jUTed. Relieved Of the mans weight,

later found near Innsbruck, Austria.

North beach at Rexton For dis
lance of several hundred yards a reef
was formed on the shore of all sorts
OF fish, including an immense quantity
of rock cells as well as Holsters, which
fishermen say are more than all the
traps would secure in a season.

on the beach eating the soft parts of
the Holsters and leaving only the
claws, which are strewn about in all
directions. No one can recall an

visited the beach to watch the gulls
