Gateway of Historic Harlem.

the beginning of the century was the
marriage of Wilhelmina to Prince
Henry Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. In
1909 the birth of their first child, the
little Princess Juliana, was received
with great popular rejoicing. The
Dutch feel that there is less to fear
in the menace of German absorption
always a great bugbear to the Meth
erlanders-now that they have an heir
TO the throne. Holland is one OF the
centers of European civilization and
progress, and it cannot fail to be of
great interest and profit to travelling
Americans this year to see this very
modern little kingdom as it really is.
There is probably no country of En-
rope In the track Of the tourist about
which there is SO much misapprehen-
sion as Holland.

Irving, who, in his Knickerbocker
History of New York, was the creator

land as a rather ANTICIPATED country,
peopled by a lot of stout folk who

shoes. Many Of US, however. have to

SOME PURE-MILK PROBLEMS
Most Important Aside From Feeding
Is Of Barn and Its Accommoda-
tons, Says Oregon Student.

For the dairyman whose aim is the
profitable production of pure milk,
probably the most important problem,
aside from the feeding, is that of the
barn and it's accommodations, writes
T.. S. Wisdom, student at the Ore
gon Agricultural college, in an article
in the Oregon Countryman, the stu
dent agricultural magazine.
The dairy COW requires, for the high
est production, comfortable and
healthy quarters which are protected
from the inclement weather, he con-
tinues. A warm, substantial stable is
almost imperative in the cold climate.
1t must not be forgotten, however, that
the health of the herd is likely to be
impaired unless proper precautions are
taken to insure rigid cleanliness and
abundance Of light and fresh air.
An expensive structure is unneces-
sary, but one that will be convenient
for the labor and furnish contentment
to the herd should be provided. The
location should be chosen to maintain
the highest degree of sanitation, de-
pending largely upon the drainage.
The tile-drained barnyards often elm
mate the undesirable conditions found
commonly. Whenever it is possible,
the barn should be built on a knoll.
though never on an elevation higher
than the house occupies.
Convenience of access from different
parts Of the farm saves labor and time
Barns near main road or across
road from the house are not recon-
mended. The landing should face
north and south. so that the sunlight
might enter from both sides during
the day.

HONOR BIG EVENT
Dutch Celebrate Recall of the
House of Orange.
Completes First Century of Liberation
From Domination by Napoleon
Holland Now One of centers
Of European Civilization.

Paris.-Last summer the Dutch COM
pieted the first century OF their liberia
ton from the France OF Napoleon.
After the Battle OF Leipzig, in 1913,
in which Napoleon was defeated. the
French were driven out OF Holland
and the House of Orange once more
recalled to power. In November of
that year the prince of Orange. son
Of William ". returned from England
and was proclaimed William |. OF the
Netherlands. 1t is the centenary of
this historic event that was commem-
GRATED with manifestations Of patriot
ism in the little country Of dikes and
dunes, says the American Review of
Reviews.
Since the beginning of the twen-
tieth century Holland has come to be
looked upon by the world chiefly as
the home of that splendid information
al tribunal at The Hague by the
agreement of all the civilized powers
of the world for the settlement of dis
putes between nations. The first
world peace conference was held IL
the Dutch capital in 1899 and the Sec
ond in 1907. When the beloved Queen
Wilhelmina, at the age Of eighteen,
assembled to the throne of her fathers,
I'm 1898, the reform of Dutch franchise
laws had begun. Electoral reform has
been one of the mooted questions In
Dutch parliamentary procedure ever
since. One of the most. important
pieces of legislation passed by the
states general during recent years
was law lin 1909 making railroad
strikes illegal. Other questions Of
coast defence, colonies and a new GUS

The bagworm is easy to control, at

There are two methods of destroying
the pest, by collecting al OF the bags
and by spraying with poison. If the
bagworm is restricted to only a few
trees, one can easily collect all of the
bags in the winter when the leaves
are off. This method is in common
use and is entirely effective, if care

careful application of poison before

The value OF growing heifer calves
from cows of known ability is a COM
mon theme among men that are in
terested in progressive dairy prac-
tees. It's consideration, however, Is
worthy OF repeated mention as this
one point serves as the keystone Of
the dairy business. The proper man
agement during the first few months
OF their life stands next in line OF i'm
pOrtance.
The following brief rules may assist
some in growing their calves, especial
ly. those who use skim milk as the
main portion of the ration.
Points to Observe In Raising Calves
With SkimmiIk.
|. Remove the calf from the
mother not later than the third day,
but feed it the mothers milk for
about two weeks.
2. When two weeks old. gradually
change to skimmilk, using about one
week to make the change
3. Feed only about five or six
quarts per day for the first three days
Then increase to seven or eight quarts
as necessary.
d. Feed so that each calf gets the
full portion intended for it.
s. 1t is best to feed warm milk.
Cold milk will usually cause indiges
ton in a young calf
g. Begin feeding a little dry corn
meal as soon as they will take 1t.
T. Provide good hay or pasture af-
ter the calf is three weeks old.
8. All utensils used in feeding the
calves must be kept clean.

Men who are making a business of
dairying are fast realizing the value
of having their COWS calve in the
fall. With this change in herd man
agement, new problems are confront
Ing the dairymen concerning the best
methods to apply in order that best
results may be secured. When prop
eriy managed. calves that are born
during The fall months develop into ex-
ceiient individuals and, In addition, the
flush season In milk production is
placed to best advantage from the
standpoint Of labor and market prices.
One question that Is often asked
Ia how besL to care for the COW previ-
GUS to calving time. The chief diff
ference concerning this season and
that OF spring calving is the difficulty
or even In good physical condition
during the hot. dry season of July
and August. Under average condi-
lions. the cows should be dry after
July Is IL they are due to calve by
September first. This arrangement
relieves the dairyman of the discom-
forts OF milking during the hot days,
which are the rule at that season
II the COWS are on pasture, small
ration of corn meal will assist the
COW in storing the necessary reserve
food for proper and successful calv-
ing.
If the COW is in good health. the

from the mother for three or four
days. Care should be exercised con-
corning the amount OF milk the calf

than any other one factor. 1t is well.
also to encourage the feeding OF dry
grain and hay as this practice will
ward off much of the trouble common
to calves not so handled. A good
{ ain ration for calves OF this age
may be made up of corn meal, wheat
bran and linseed meal, mixed, equal
parts by weight. The feeding of grain
may be best done by keeping a very
small amount OF the grain in a box
located conveniently to the stanchion
so as to encourage the calf to eat
This mixture should be kept fresh and
clean, as ursanitary conditions will
cause a calf to develop a dislike for
the feed and In that way. retard Its
best development.
Almost any well-cured hay, such as
clover or alfalfa. will produce good
results when fed to calves. although
It may be well to mix Ii with timothy
hay or oats straw. To be sure. only
a small amount OF roughage will be
consumed, nevertheless. it is advisable
to supply 1t In a first-class condition
BY the time the calf Is four or five
mouths old. the milk may be withheld
and regular feeds supplied At the
end OF one year. the calf will be in
much better condition and worth more
as a future dairy individual than if
it had been required to spend the first
six months on pasture and to be irri-
tated by the flies and hot weather. At
the ase OF six or eight months. the
fall calf Is old enough to assimilate
pasture grass and. with the addition
OF small grain ration. will cost less
at the age OF one year than IL it had
begun Its life In the spring.

Improved Grape Crate.

An improved grape crate or barrel
which may also be used for shipping
other fruits. is described by the bu-
reau of manufacturers in recent re-
port from Almeria. Spain. The bar
rel is cylindrical and has four sepa-
rate compartments or fat circular
boxes-shaped like cheese boxes
each of which holds about IL pounds
of fruit This insures good ventilation,
and at the same time presents a
cheap, fancy package, which is what
up-to-d date growers are after. The en-
tire barrel can be made by machin-
cry. and there is practically no waste
