tons 20 the aptitudes and capa-

In my opinion. which is mere.
ly offered for what little il may
be worth. after only a few
weeks of cursory study of the
situation, Texas needs first to
place It's penitentiary system on
a proper financial basis. At
present the commissioners
carry large loans. for much of
which eight per cent interest is
being paid. That in itself is a
great load. For lack of more
funds many other essential i'm
provements and changes cannot
be made. A city laboring under
such disadvantages would issue
bonds bearing a low rate of in
terest and make the required i'm
provements. Large corpora
tons and business concerns of
every kind would do the same
thing. The State should. !
think, issue long time interest
bearing penitentiary bonds and
provide for a sinking fund out
of the earnings Of the system.
Give the present law. with
few slight changes needed, the
time to make a showing; furnish
the capitol with which to op-
crate the system like other bust.
ness enterprises would be man.
aged; continue the humane
treatment of prisoners, exacting
also fair dealing from them to-
wards the State; and both the dis
cipIinary and financial troubles
will be reduced to the minimum.

Under the new law, convicts OF

cases Of extreme and unavoidable

they must be paid ten cents ar

told that under this law the ay.
erage working time in summer
days is reduced to about eight
and quarter hours. and in the
winter, when necessity requires
that the prisoners be insind the
bars before dark. the time is
still further cut down. Last
year in the midst Of the harvest
ing season rains kept the farm
hands indoors for seventeen days
continuously. the men idle all
the time. yet when they went 70
work again the State could not
get even eight hours a day from
the labor.
This provision was doubtless
made with the thought Of the
long overtime at hard labor on
the railroad contracts or on the
contract farms under the old
system, but it is proving a heavy
drain on the State farms, and
one that other farmers say they
can not stand in their work.
The law should be amended so
that the average days labor on
the farms may be kept within
ten hours, allowing the prison
officials discretion in regulating
the hours 70 the seasons. Com

Some arrangement should be
made for frequent visits to the
penitentiaries and farms either
from the governor or some other
state official. These visits
should not be hurried inspection I

and frequency to allow
a thorough understanding Of the
system and is needs from
every view point. IL - true
that the law contemplates that
the commissioners shall look

The State pays out about $3.50
900 year under the new law L
convicts under what il known az
the ten cents per mem. This
small sum is paid TO the conyict's
dependant relatives, II he has
ny. II he has no relatives TINS
sum is paid 10 him on his dis.
charge from prison. There are
some who deny this pittance Ia
the convict's family or 10 him.
but there are very few in the
State who would care 10 deal in
such a parsimonious way with its
prisoners. A provision for the
forfeiture OF this sum for mis-
conduct or violation Of prison
rules, has a salutary effect upon
the discipline. Provision is also
made for paying the prisoners
for overtime or for work requir-
ed in extreme necessities on Sun
day. Instead Of cutting oft this
ten cents per diem TO well be-
haved prisoners, ! would keep
minimum about ten cents per
day and in the discretion Of the
prison officials, would stimulate
those who are more capable and
who do better work by Offering
them additional compensation
for extra results. This policy
works we'll in all outside indust-
ries, and should prove even more
efIicacious in dealing with prison
ers. many who are keenly appre-
ciative Of even small favors.

il appears like folly for the
State to spend thousands of
dollars in teaching modern
agricultural methods and itself

pecially when the farms at Rusk,

The State. IN It's penitentaries

done by substituting water gradually.
Calves should have fresh. clean water
to drink from babyhood to maturity.
Do not forget the supply Of salt for
the calves. Occasionally put a lump of
fresh sod in the calf pen. The calves
seem to ENJOY a taste Of earth.
It is always well to substitute some
thing to replace the fat taken from
skimmilk fed to calves. When making
the change from whole milk table

added to the milk. If fiaxseed is used.

substitute for milk: One hundred

In raising calves it is very unwise to
pour the milk into trough and let
them all drink together.
Calves should not be exposed to ex-
tremes in weather and are better to
be housed most of the time for at least
the first six months OF their lives.
The calfs skin is tender and may
blister and become very sore if ex-
posed to the hot sun. A nice clean
grass paddock develops the muscles
and keeps them in general good health.
When calves sweat badly there is prob
ably bad ventilation in the stable. Give
them plenty of fresh air. even though
it be cold.
The pen must be frequently cleaned
out. be kept dry and have plenty of
litter or the calves will not thrive and
are sure to get some of the many
troubles which attack young stock. 1t

is good plan to sprinkle the floor
with land plaster and occasionally
spray the pen with good disinfect-
ant.
Seours-or Diarrhea.
The most frequent trouble in raising
a calf on skimmilk is securing. The
reason Of this in nearly all cases is in
digestion. due to one or more Of the
following preventable causes: Too
much milk; sour milk when the calf
has been used to sweet; changing from
whole to skimmilk too suddenly; IT.
regular hours of feeding. dirty feed
ing pals and dirty wet bedding. The
disease frequently begins with consti-
patton. which soon gives way to diar-
rhea.
Should the calf begin to scour at
any time give it just about half its
usual ration for a feed or two and
two tablespoonfuls of raw linseed oil
or castor OIL Some add twenty drops
of laudanum. When the securing has
stopped. gradually increase the feed
until the calf is getting its regular al
lOwance.
There are several remedies for scours
recommended by different authorities.
OF these the most popular seem to be
raw eggs. -four. limewater. black tea
and blood meal The latter is highly
recommended as a calf feed. About a
teaspOOnful in the milk is said to be
q cure for scours and if fed regularly
is preventive.
The first year-when she is a calf-is
the most important in a cows life.
Stunt the calf and it can never develop
into the profitable COW which good
care aud thrifty growth would have
produced. 1t is true that the cow is
partly born and partly made. Our aim
should be to train the calf to make use
of coarse foods.
Dehornine.
Where a large number Of cows run
together it is probably the safest and
best plan to have them dehOrned
though it certainly detracts from their
appearance. The best time to. dehorn
is in calfhood. Calves may be easily
dehorned when few days OLD. Clip
the hair where the rudimentarT horns
appear and with moistened stick OF
caustic potash rub the little buttons of
horn until the skin becomes irElamed
