corn and one-third cottonseed meal by
weight, fed at the rRte Of a pound per
hundred pounds of live weight.
, Various roughages, all of which
were grown on the farm, we're fed.
The corn fodder, usually shredded,
was fed in the early winter together
with clover hay, and later in the
spring oat straw was given instead o
the corn fodder.
The following summer the calves
were given a good bluegrass pasture
and in addition a liberal grain ration.
The ration was not changed In compo'
sition from that previously fed. When
the grass was in the flush Of growth
the grain ration was somewhat de
creased. During the entire grass sea-
son personal attention was given to
the feeding so that the calves would
not be overfed. IL overfed the cost
is not only increased but the steers
get out of condition and frequently
will not gain 80 we'll afterward.
They were ripe and we'll finished
beeves by September first and weigh
ed from 1900 to 1885 pounds, de-
sirable weight for such youngsters.
They commanded the top price for
such light-hnished beeves. In com
putting the cost for our productions we
found that each calf had eaten from
81 to 80 bushels OF corn, valued at
$500; 6 bushels OF oats at S240; cot
ton seed meal, $3.50; grass, SO; hay
and fodder, So which, together with
the cost Of keeping the COW and the
interest, made a total cost for produc-
ton OF about SIS. Our young stock
varied in price from 1915 to SO a
hundredweight, making an average of
$3.50, which gave us a cash value OF
about 500 a head. This left a total
of over 500 clear profit, charging our
work against the manure produced and
the satisfaction of seeing the grains
and roughages marketed at home and
the land appreciably increased In fer
tility and condition.

SELECTING GOOD
DAIRY ANIMALS
Systematic Plan of Examining
Calves Needed to Bring Herd
Improvement.
CRv w NJ. KELLY

Many dairymen make a practice of
raising every heifer calf and fail to get
results. Then they select the heifer
calves from the best producing cows
and get nearer to what they want but
still, there are many inferior cows
raised by them.
It il not until we begin TO carefully
examine every heifer calf that we can
conduct any systematic plan OF i'm
proving the quality OF the dairy herds,

viduals and have stamina and strong,
vigorous constitutions, no matter how
literally they are fed, some will
fail to come up to the qualities Of their
dams
Every heifer calf should be care.
fully examined and If they show signs
OF weakness they should not be raised.
Open their mouths, and If you fnd,
after examining their teeth, that you
can see but four of the milk teeth. you
can make up your mind that such a
calf is hardly worth raising.
Many raise their calves, but few turn

When we find a heifer calf that
comes up to our standard or require,

we must not forget that It's value as
a COW depends largely upon the treat,

two years of its life.
Calves must be we'll cared for and
fed in such a manner that they will
never lose their calf flesh.
After they are a few months old
they should be turned out and allowed
plenty OF exercise and good air 30 that
they may build up strong muscles and
good strong organs OF respiration.

Chicago.-You have one chance in

ing to information which was impart-
ed to Professor Charles r. Hender-

Supt. William c. Graves Of the
James c. King Home for Old Men,
made the statement in a lecture on
The Broken Family"
only one man in 10000 is self

years, according to the statistics"
said Mr.. Graves. "In the United
States there are approximately 1885,
600 former wage earners, sixty-flve
years and older, dependent on public
and private charity, at a cost of
$500 100000 a year, There are about
100000 old people in. benevolent insti-
tutions and homes in this country. It
costs about $5O.OOO.OOO a year to care
for them.

thing to each person reaching 1t. 1t
is difficult to state that a person is
old at sixty or sixty-five or seventy

RARE BLACK WOLF KILLED
Animal Is SO Young as to Indicate
the Presence Of Others
In the Vicinity.

Chico, Cal.-William Lewis of Para
disc, near here, claims the distinction
OF killing the first black wolf ever
encountered in this portion OF the
state. He met the animal late at
night on the main road leading into
Paradise and was especially attracted
by its glaring eyes and bowling.
It's fur is OF the finest texture and
the animal itself was apparently
young, indicating that there was a
family of the species located In the
thick forests OF the Paradise-Magalia
section.
Many barnyard rohberies OF late are
now laid to the door of the unusual
animal that more or less inhabits the
mountainous regions OF cold climates
as in Canada and the far north.

interesting Discovery in an Old
Texas House.
Dagger, Crimson With Blood Rust Of
Centuries, and Ancient Spanish
Pieces of Eight Found
In Old Pot.

San Antonio, Texas.-Still crimson
with the blood rust of centuries, a
dagger was found in the walls of an
adobe building in San " ohio, and in
another part of the house was found
a copper pot containing pieces of
eight It is regarded as the most
historical production which Texas has
yielded in many years and the coins
have been sent to Tiffany in New
York for valuation.
Charles Arnaud and Gus Loeloff his
brother-in-law, were tearing down an
ancient structure, used in bygone days
as a fandango hall, when their picks
came in contact with something that
rahg differently from the flint rock
(which composed part of the walls.

scraped away the mortar and discoy-
cred what resembled a teapot.
Extracting this vessel from its coat
ing, they dug a flint rock from its
opening, where the lid should have
been. At first spider webs obscured
their view, but after wiping these
away they could see dimly that there
was something at the bottom Of the
pot. 1t proved to be eight Spanish.
coins, covered with dust. How the
dust got there it is impossible to say,
as the large opening of the teapot was
closed and the spout was so small
that only few drops at time could
have been poured from it. And in ad-
dition the hole was inclcsed in the
solid wall
Local scientists will tackle the prob
lem of how the spiders entered the
p0t-whether they were in it before
the wall was closed, or whether they
crept through some inhnitesimal crack
and thence into the spout of the pot.
Quien sabe?
The dagger has a pearl handle,
carved by hand, carrying a feathery
design on one side and on the other
a shield and leaves. At one end it
has a guard almost as large as those
OF the swords used by the crusaders,
bearing a bas relief of a VOLTS head.
At the other end 1t has similar orna-
