To teach a calf to drink, let II re,
quite hungry FIRST, insert two fingers
into its mouth and lower its head into
the pail. Calf feeders can be bought
and are liked by some. Il will helm
matters at first to raise the bucket or
pan to the calf, II possible. Never
feed In wooden pals, says the Farm
Dairying. They soon sour Always
wash and scald the pals at least once
a day. It takes less time than to
bother with sick calves.
As a rule II Is best to feed the
calves whole milk for the first three
weeks; hardy, strong calves would
stand the change to whole milk at
two weeks. At first give It from six
to eight pounds 1.-TWO and one-half to
three and one-half quarts), accord
ing to the size of the calf, twice daily.
At the end of three weeks It should
get from eight TO ten ponds. The calf
should always get the colostrun first
milk, which is very laxative and in.
tended by nature to cleanse the bow
els of the calf.
A calf at three months old should
not get over eight quarts of milk per
day; at four months 1t cannot make
use Of more than ten quarts. With
this 1t should have two quarts of
mixed crushed grain per day. and all
the hay 1t can eat. At six months old
the milk allowance may be dropped
out, or before that time If the milk
Is scarce. WEAVING the calf from
milk should be slowly done by substi.
tuting water gradually. Calves should
have fresh, clean water to drink from
babyhood to maturity. Do not forget
the supply of salt for the calves. Oc-
casionally put lump of fresh sod in
the pen. The calves seem to enjoy a
taste of earth. When making the
changes from whole milk, one table
spoonful of oilcake may be added to
the milk. If faxseed is used, and there
is nothing better, it should be we'll

Use of Snreader Best

The piling of manure in small lots
as 1t is hauled afeld may have some
points in its favor, but from the
standpoint of realizing the largest
possible good from the fertilizing ele.
ments contained it is plainly a poorer
method than scattering from the
spreader.
Handled in this way, the soluble
portion OF the fertilizers that the ma.
nure contains soak at once into the
soil, while if the manure is put in
piles there is a loss by chemical
changes and the escape of gases.

Definition Of the Beau.

A beau Is one who arranges his
curled locks gracefully, who ever
smells of balms and cinnamon,
who huns the songs of the Nile and
Cadiz. who throws his sleek arms into
various attitudes, who idles away the
whole day among the chairs of the
ladies, who is ever whispering in some
ones ear, who reads little billetdoux
from this quarter and that, and writes
them in return; who avoids ruffiing
his dress by contact with his neigh
boris sleeve, who knows with whom
everybody is in love; who fiutters from
feast to feast; who can recount exact
ly the pedigree Of Hirpinus. What do
you tell me, is this beau, Cotilus?
Then beau. Cotilus, is very trifling
thing.

MILK INSPECTION is NO FUN
Incident Showing How Hard II Is to
Force Sanitary Rules on Dirty
People.

The trials and tribulations of mill
inspector trying to force insanitary
people to live according to sanitary
rules are shown in the issue of the
Healthologist, the official organ OF
the Milwaukee health department
The story follows:
A Milwaukee milk inspector during
4 farm inspection, came upon a place
hopelessly filthy, dlsorderly and run
down. A motherly person with big
heart, but firm and weird convictions,
listened to the young mans sugges-
tons. Then looking over her spec
tacles pityingly, she said:
Boy, my mother was ninety-seven
years old when she died. She was
dirtier than am, and lived in a
dirtier house and drank dirtier milk.
Ii she could stand 1t I guess there
amt no reason why 1 and the city
folks that get milk from this farm
can't stand 1t too"
And not being able to answer that
argument. the milk inspector left her
kindly withal. but yet voicing her
indignation over them there new
tangled tdees Of cleanliness"

How He Treated Her.

A certain osteopath was treating 9
young woman who had very weak
ankles and wrists. AS she lived in a
town quite a distance from his own
city, he was forced to leave the city
Saturday OF each week and go to the
town in which the young woman
lived, give her the treatment Sunday,
asd return to the office Monday. A
friend once asked the osteopath how
he had arranged to give the young
woman the treatment for her ankles
and wrists when she lived at such a
distance, and the osteopath replied:
"Oh, l go out and treat her week
ends."-Lippincott's Magazine.

Feeling o. InstlnotIvo nevu|sion /.
Justified, for They Are csfrlers
Of Disease.

The feeling Of instructive revulsIon
against parasites Of all kinds which
characterlzes humanity generally. and
which Is due to something much more
than the mere pain or annoyance that
their bites might inflict, become more
interesting as further discoveries show
the role Of insects in the spread of
disease.
Unfortunately this natural abhor-
renee has not been enough to protect
man under conditions of poverty and
uncleanliness from harboring such par.
asites, and now those who understand
how much more than a mere personal
annoyance is In question from the ex.
istence Of parasites must take up the
problem to eradicate them.
The possibility Of the bedbug con.
veying relapsing fever, typhoid and
leprosy has been suggested and an
parently there Is no parasite of man
that may not be a mode of disease
conveyance. Flies, fieas, mosquitoes
and bugs not only are all under sus-
picion, but most of them are also
actually demonstrated as ordinary and
frequent conveyors of diseases of va
rious kinds.
Health authorities must now take
up the problem Of getting rid of in
sect parasites In order to stamp out
disease. = From the Journal of the
american Medical Association.

Thumbs In Social customa.


Few persons realize how important
a role the thumb has played in the
social customs of the people.
Erskine records that among certain
classes of people in Scotland the final
settlement Of a bargain was always
signalized by the licking and joining
of thumbs.
Selden says that kissing the thumb
was Characteristic of servility. The
elergy, the rich and the great, were in
yeceipt Of this honor from tradesmen.
From remotes times the practice of
licking the thumb has been regarded
as a solemn pledge or promise, exist
ing. according to Tacitus and others,
among the Goths. the Iberians and the
Moors, and 1t may also be traced
through successive periods down to
the present time.

Twelve hours later Mr.. Whitney re-
ceived an even shorter dispatch. 1t

Mr.. Whitney went to the bureau of
fisheries and told Chief Barton w. Ev-
e-mann of the Alaskan division that
he had the candidate for the other
teaching vacancy.
Name, please?" said Mr.. Evermann.
TITS Gibson now, but if you don't
want to make out the papers until
Monday, it will be Whitney, replied
the male candidate. .,'
Miss Gibson arrived in Washing
ton in due time. The bridegroom met
her, and armed with the necessary Dis
trict of Columbia license, they sought
out the Rev. George Ferguson of the
Peoples church, and were married.
Mr.. Evermann gave them their com
missions calling for salaries of $1,000
each, and their expenses. He also
gave them his blessing. They left
for their new home after the bride
had arranged for the banking of their
salaries here in separate accounts.

They are generally more conscien-

be so apt to be distracted by collisions

We SHALL REAP THAT We SOW.

1t has been a contention of THE
APPEAL ever since the Southern pas
time, lynching, got to be so fashion
able, that when the habit became con-
firmed that the mob would not always
hunt up black man to practice upon.
We also contended that the moral ef-
feet would be very bad upon the young
people. Both of these contentious
have been frequently verified. White
men have been lynched time and
again within the last decade and the
lynchers have gone unpublished; in fact
lynching has become so common now
a-days that very little attention is paid
to it. One of the latest evidences of
the state of. mind of the youth of the
country comes from Butte, Mont,
where last week fifteen boys, ranging
from II to Is years of age, confessed
that they attempted to lynch Joseph
Meyers, a chicken farmer whose life
had been made miserable and his fam
lily destitute by the depredations of
the gang of boys. In this case they set
fire to the mans house and when he
attempted to put out the flames they
overpowered him, put rope around
