New Candle Shades.

Because they can be lined with as
bestos, which protects them from ig-
hitting with the flame of candle or a
lamp, exceedingly pretty little shades
of cardboard are being extensively
used. These shades are hand painted
IN colors in stained glass effects, as
vel as in a host of floral and con-
ventlonal patterns, or the four sides
are divided into panels and decorated
with card suits. The cardboard
shades which come already decorated
are even more attractive than are the
homemade varieties, because they
show landscape and characteristic
scenes in Japanese hand painting.
Next IN favor to these asbestos lined
shades are the ones of copper or Da-
Rlascus brass, pierced in wicker.

ALLOWING Tomato to Run.

1t is best to allow late tomato vines
to lie on the ground and spread at
will, claims one raiser. Each plant
thus allowed freedom to vine will
cover many square feet of soil, but it
will bear more fruit of better flavor
than tomato vines trained to stakes.
The branches OF the vines on the
ground take root at many points for
supplying greater amount of nourish-
ment The greater amount of foliage
a tomato plant bears, the more fruit
it is able to produce Tomatoes ripen-
ing in the shade of foliage are of as
good color and flavor as those ripen-
ing in the SUN.

RAISING HIGH-GRADE CALVES
Feed Little Animals Whole MIX for
First Three Weeks-Do Not For
get Supply of Salt.

TO teach a calf to drink, let it get
quite hungry first, insert two fingers
into it's mouth and lower its head into
the pail. Calf feeders can be bought
and are liked by some. 1t will help
matters at first to raise the bucket or
pan to the calf, if possible. Never
feed in wooden pals, says the Farm
Dairying. They soon sour. Always
wash and scald the pals at least once
day. 1t takes less time than to
bother with sick calves.
AS a rule it 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
70 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
n CdH DIT LUI6O uuOutuo Olu SAOuA0
not get over eight quarts of milk per
day; at four months it 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 it 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
taste Of earth. When making the
changes from whole milk, one table
spoonful of oilcake may be added to
the milk If fiaxseed is used, and there
is nothing better, it should be well

Use of Spreader Best.

The piling of manure in small lots
as it is hauled afield 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 poorer
method than scattering from the
spreader.
Handled i'm 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.

Where a selvage edge forms one

shrinking tendencies when seams are

1t is doubtful If more energy Is

ROOSEVELT AGAINST TAFT

Mr.. Roosevelt formerly announces
that he win accept nomination for a
Third Term If the Republican national
convention offers it to him.
He adds that he will remain in the
contest until the national convention
has expressed its preference-has de-
cided between him and Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Roosevelt has created an unprec.
edented, situation. Never before has
former President, who was not only
consulted in the choice Of his successor
but who dominated in that choice and
practically named that successor sougf(
to treat his successor as a more care
taker of the Presidency while he was
on vacation.
Never but once before has a former
President sought a Third Term. New
er before has a former President pub
licly eaten his solemn and voluntary
pledge not to seek the office again.
It has remained for Theodore Roose-
welt, in the normity Of his egotism,
to do these things.
The issue within the Republican par
ty is now clear. We have as Republi-
cans a choice between Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Taft. We have choice be-
tween Mr.. Roosevelt's program of So
cialistic revolution and constitutional
government.
Presumably Mr. Taft at last under
stands that his former friend, to whom
he owed so much, has become an en-
envy bent on his destruction. Presum-
ably the ordinary instinct Of self-pres-
ervation will now move Mr.. Taft to
fight the socialistic revolution all a.
long the line. a..,,..
II Mr.. Taft is So moved-if Mr. Taft
will but put forth his strength-there
Is no doubt of the result. Neither this
nation ncr the Republican party, is
ready for a socialistic revolution and
centralized industrial despotism with
Theodore Roosevelt, or any other man,
as the despot Chicago Interview.
