Failure In Raising Calves

There are hundreds of dairymen who
will agree that one of the great causes
Of failure to raise calves properly is over
feeding. 1t is difficult 10 make a great
many people see this, but it is true
peverthe!ess.
calf is not born into the world to
consume all the milk produced by a COW
as she is bred and fed in these days. 1t
is otherwise with ranch or range cows,
because they are very poor mixers, and
the flow of milk is confined to the few
months that the calf is being fed by her.
Farmers must remember that while great
improvements have been made in dairy
COWS no appreciate additional capacity
has been built into the digestive system
of IA calf
To say that calf should have all the
milk produced by its mother is contrary
TO all reason and common sense, espec-
tally in view of what has been bred into
the COW in the way or increased milk
production. When 1t comes to the mat
ter of raising a calf we must remember
chat it's appetite is gagged by the flow Of
milk that the COW would give in her nat
pral state, which in the case of a range
COW does not average over five or six
quarts pc" day.
In fact, he best authorities upon the
subject of calf raising recommend that
the calf should not have more than fohr
pr five quarts per day, and even upon
that amount it should not be allowed to
have its fill at any one time. A little at
time but often is calf-raising wisdom
reduced to the compass of a nutshell. Be
cause a calf is naturally greedy it does
not follow that its greed should be cater
ed to-

Sure Growth Fertilizers
GUARANTEED:
Highest in Quality and Commercial Value
Perfect Drilling Condition.
Strong New Bags

The reports of the State Chemists give the ''value
guaranteed" and vaue found in all fertilizers. These
valuations calculated by giving the estimated COM
mercial value of Ammonia, Available Phosphorc Acid
and Potash These valuations do not vary much in the
different States and the Maryland State Chemist in
1911 gave the following valuations:
For Ammonia, 2oc. per h.; for Available Phos-
phoric Acid &c. per h., and for Potash &C. per h. The
minimum guarantee for Sure Growth Superphosphate
Isl Ammonia, per cent Available PhOsphoric Acid,
s per cent; Potash Actual, per cent.
2pe Ammonia, per 2Oc $500
per Avail Phos. Acid 100 lbs. &C.. $50
per Potash. 60 lbs per at Sc 800
$2O6O
This calculation gives guaranteed commercial
value at the prices fixed by the State Chemist for the
elements of Plant Food represented. The average of
two tests made in 1911 by the Maryland State Chemist
showed value of 1913 As 49, IS better value than
pressed by guarantee For the benefit of those who
do not clearly understand the above calculation would
state that the per cent Ammonia in the ton is derived
from the of 400 to 500 lbs High Grade Material
1t requires 200 lbs material to yield per cent Avail
able Phosphoric Acid, and 300 lbs more of Potash
Salts to yield the 3 per cent.
The analysis of our principal brands in Maryland
Delaware and Pennsylvania for the years 1910 and 1911
have been carefully checked up, and the average from
all the made in the three States for the two years.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE
PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

NEW YORK, July 15.-The refusal
of the market to respond to such en-.
couraging influences as a good crop re.
port, larger activity in industrial and
mercantile circles, better railroad and
industrial earnings naturally disap.
pointed those whose overconfidence
had prompted them to anticipate a
continuance of the upward movement
after the Presidential conventions
were over The truth is these favorable
influences had been used as a basis
for profit-taking by those on the long
side of the market. This left the situa.
ton technically weak, especially in
view of the firmer money and the ap-
proach of summer quiet and absentee
ism.
Moreover, a new set of conditions
are developing, the outcome of which
is yet to be seen. Chief of these are
developments in the political situation,
which even the most optimistic people
cannot entirely ignore. Both parties
are out for tariff revision; one for
more moderate protection, the other
for revenue only. The tariff, of course,
strengthens the position of many in
dustrials, and the concerns most inter
ested in it's reduction are those engag-
ed in the production of steel, coal, SUI
gar, cottons, woolens, silks, rubber,
glass, etc. Tariff uncertainty is conse-
quently an unavoidable element in
Wall Street calculations. There are
quite a NUMBER of individuals who be-
lieve that any important revision OF
the tariff will materially lessen indus
trial profits. They may attach an ex-
aggerated Importance to the effect of
revision and entirely overlook advant-
ages acruing in other directions. Yet,
if they act upon such beliefs and re-
duce their holdings on tariff-aided
stocks, the effect cannot but be to
temporarily depress prices and hinder
Improvement while uncertainty re-
mains. Besides it might be considered
good politics by those actively con-
cerned in both politics and finance to
give the tariff reformers lesson by
encouraging a stock market fall while
the political campaign was on. Taking
these possibilities at their true value,
however, the chances are against any
serious reduction in the tariff, mainly
because it now produces over $780, OO,-
900 of revenue, and our national ex-
penses are too heavy and growing too
fast to permit of any radical reduction,
even if lower rates stimulated importa-
tions. Nor is this the only obstacle to
tariff reduction. The moderationists
who are of considerable influence in
both parties are opposed to any smash
ing policy. preferring moderate and
gradual revision which will enable in
dustry to adjust itself to a lower scale
of duties without shock. Further, both
parties are divided on the tariff ques-
ton largely on geographical lines.
Many Democrats have turned protec-
tionists, while, on the other hand,
many Republicans wish to cut out the
abuses of the present schedules. The
difficulties of reaching any harmoni-

BISHOP BOWMtN At
THE So MILESTONE
Venerable Methodist Prelate
Quietly Observes His
Birthday Today.
(National News Association)

ORANGE, n. j., July 15.-Right
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal de-
nomination, today quietly celebrated
at the residence of his son-in-law,
Burns D. Caldwell, of this place. The
venerable bishop was the recipient of
an almost countless number of con-
gratulatory messages from prominent
laymen and clergymen throughout the
country Despite his advanced age he
is in fair health and may be seen on
the streets of Orange almost any day
In suitable weather.
Bishop Bowman is the Oldest Ameri-
can bishop, both in years and in point
of service. He is likewise the only sur
vivor of the class that graduated from
Dickinson college in 1897 The June in
which he received his diploma, seven
ty-five years ago, was that in which
Victoria became Queen of Great Brit
ain.
The Bishop was born at Berwick,
Pa, and was frail and delicate boy
daily walk of three miles to school
at Wilbraham, laid-so he thinks-the
foundation of a healthful life.
Bishop Bowman has been a licensed
preacher for nearly seventy-five years.
He was elected bishop forty years ago
and during his active career he at
tended at least two conventions in
every state of the Union. He has cir
cIed the globe twice and has officiated
at religious gatherings in nearly every
part of the world
After his graduation he was teach
er at Dickinson college for several
years, and then went to Williamsport,
Pa, where he founded the Dickinson
Seminary, of which he was the first
president He was at the head of the
institution for ten years. He became
president of the Indiana Asbury uni
versity in 1859, holding the post for
thirteen years. During the last two
years of President Lincolns life, DR..
Bowman was chaplain of the United
States senate.

AN ERRATlc VOLCANO.


Rose From the Sea, Formed an Island
and Sank Again.
On June 10. 1910. the Sabrina. Brit
ish sloop of war. observed smoke aris-
ing from the sea near st. Michael. on
the Azores, and made for It. believing
that a naval engagement was in prog
ress. Her crew found. however. that
great tongues of fame were issuing
along with the smoke and that they
had cleared for action to fight q vol
cano.
Forty-eight hours later an island
made its appearance. having risen
from a depth OF forty fathoms in that
period. and in another day IL was fifty
one feet above the surface. with a
length OF about three-quarters of a
mile. By July the Sabrina's people
were able to land on this new shore.
which was then 800 feet high. with a
circumference OF fully a mile. with a
stream six yards wide running from
the center TO the sea.
They took formal possession of it for
his Britannia majesty. hoisting the
union jack on its most conspicuous
point. but by degrees the island sank
until about the middle of October IL
vanished below the surface, with the
union jack still on IL. like a battieship
sinking with colors flying after a fatal
engagement--London Standard

Gus action on the tariff are so many
and complicated that there is little
reason to anticipate any very damag-
ing results. 1t is a little early to be
frightened at this tariff campaign, es-
pecially as more interests will be bene-
fitted than hurt by the reduction, and
once the tariff is placed upon a more
reasonable basis it will automatically
become a smaller target for attack.
Still we should not forget that there
are many who are apprehensive on
the subject, and the unavoidable I'M
certainty is beyond dispute disturbing.
This being the case the tariff must be
accepted for the next few months at
least as an important element in the
future of the stock market.
Other conditions contributing to-
wards this weeks reaction were fears
that the injection of third candidate
into the gubernatorial campaign might
bring on a threatening deadlock in
case the electoral college failed to
elect a President There is a fear also
that current investigations in the coal
and steel trades will stir up afresh the
unwelcome anti-corporation feeling.
particularly in view of the continued
high cost of living, which is a persist
ent stimulant to political unrest. Still
another unfavorable element in the
stock market is the hardening tend
ency of money. Last weeks unexpect-
eddy bad bank reserves. The necessity
of restoring these at a time when
home demands for crop and trade plir
poses are asserting themselves caus-
ed a considerable calling in of loans
to the detriment of the stock market.
Gold exports have ceased for the pre-
sent and We may be obliged to curtail
our credits abroad, especially II Cana
dian funds now on deposit in New
York be largely withdrawn for crop
purposes. All indications point to a
continued hardening of rates. A rather
surprising source of weakness was the
July crop report, which somehow
seems to have fallen below expecta-
tons. Nevertheless the report was o
good one, indicating an almost bumper
yield of corn, oats, hay, etc. 1t Is no
small matter that the three big cereal
crops-wheat, corn and oats-have a
promise of 500,000000 bushels more
than a year ago, and conditions of all
crops today, it may be noted. are near
ly 6 per cent better than on the date

The letter p is the most important in
the alphabet because it leads all others
in perfection. 1t is likewise first In
peace and prosperity and gives to
pleasure its proper form. 1t is found
In every enterprise and aspiration. and
without its valuable offices our stanch-
est anchor of hope would he but a
commonplace hoe. In Importance it Is
decidedly the dominating letter. 1t has
no place in history. but is foremost In
philosophy and gives power to the pen.
While always first in provocation. it
likewise leads in pardon and possesses
great power in persuasion. 1t is rich
in the emotions and virtues. Patriot

Staining Glass,

The art of coloring glass has been
lost and rebound. guarded and stolen
SO many times during the history of
civilization that it seems almost i'm
possible to say anything new on glass
staining. Yet modern process for
making the stained glass used in win
dows is departure from anything
known to the old timers. The glass
first receives its design IN mineral col
ors. and the whole is then fired in a
heat so intense that the coloring mat
ter and the glass are indissolubly fused
The most attractive feature of this
method is that the surface acquires a
peculiar pebbled character in the heat.
so that when the glass is in place the
lights are beautifully soft and mellow.
