GRAIN TO
DAIRY CALVES

Calves should be placed on a grain
diet as soon after they are weaned
from skimmilk as they can be taught
to eat 1t. says correspondent Of
Hoard's Dairyman. There is no better
food for young calves than whole milk
from the cow. but 1t is too expensive
to feed any longer than is absolutely
necessary. SlSimmllk also is an excel
lent food when it is properly balanced
by grain.
The mixture have found the most
satisfactory is about two parts of
crushed oats and one part of oilmeal.
This is also comparatively cheap
food. The calves soon learn to like 1t,
and they do nicely on it. l grind the
oats quite fine with a mill operated
by u gasoline engine. Two hundred
pounds of oats are thoroughly mixed
with 100 pounds of oilmeal.
l give the calf whole milk for the
first three days. Then l begin to sub

SOCIETY
Girls Give Banquet.

One Of the most enjoyable social
affairs given by the Young Woman 's
Section, popularity known as the Girls
club, was the banquet held at the
library Tuesday evening, when covers
were laid for thirty-four. The prep
aration of the feast was in charge OF
the class in domestic science from the
High school. Many admiring Com
ments were overheard upon the ap-
pearance of the long table with its
snowy linen, silver and cut glass, and
its decoration of fragrant pink rose
buds. When the viands appeared all
agreed that the girls had learned to
please the appetite as well as delight
the eye. The food was delicious and
charmingly served, and every one of
the many compliments voiced was rich
ly deserved by Miss Sheridan and her
class of girls. The menu consisted of
fruit cocktail, veal loaf with currant
jelly, relish, scalloped potatoes, ripe
olives, salted almonds, combination
salad with saltines, marshmallow pud-
ding with whipped cream, cake, coffee
and mints.
Between the courses Miss Elva Lu-
cas-, accompanied by Miss Ada Long
necker, sang two very pleasing solos.
Miss Pearl Horner proved most
delightful toastmistress, introducing
the other speakers in an interesting
and original way. The retiring chair
man, Miss Edith Starbuck, talked OF
the Possibilities of the Girls Club. !"
and, bespoke for the new chairman,
Miss Dilla Viers, the same cheerful,
helpful spirit which the girls had
manifested in the past. Miss Nola
Coad presented the topic of "Loyal-
ty" and urged on the members the
importance Of unity of effort. Mrs.
George 7. Gerlinger told of the oval
ue of a Girl" Her message, briefly
stated, was this: That an organiza-
ton of more than forty members
could do much toward determining
the social and moral atmosphere of
a town, and upholding the dignity
and value of true womanhood. Mrs.
Gerlinger also opened the question
box and replied to the queries, which
dealt chiefly with points of social
usage and other questions of interest
to the girls.

Irilene Bennett. Edith Catherwood,

stitute skimmilk gradually, the proper
ton Of whole milk being made less
and less each day until the calf Is get
ting skimmilk exclusively at the end
Of week or ten days. By this grad
ual change the calf does not notice the
difference, and he is less apt to have
the scours.
When the calf gets few months old
l begin substituting water for the
skimmilk which leaves me more Of this
for the hogs. By this time the calf
will be eating considerable alfalfa hay
besides its grain, and it will not need
SO much milk. A calf which has been
fed grain can be weaned from its al
lowance of milk much sooner than a
calf that has received no grain. 1t also
will be in better condition to place on
dry feed when winter comes. Corn
may be included in the grain mixture
to replace part of the oats after the
calf is few months old, but do not
like it at first. although theoretically
it is usually the cheapest grain.

BREEDING TERMS.
Meaning of the Designations Applied to
Descent of Animals.

Meaning of the Designations Applied to
Descent of Animals.
A pedigree is the record of the breed
ing of the animal. 1t gives the regis
tered name and registered number Of
the animals ancestry for a considera-
BILE number of generations, says the
Kansas Farmer. Pure bred animals
are those only which have pedigrees.
In the case Of dairy animals the Off.
cial records of females are included in
the pedigree. In the case of males the
number of heifers attaining distinction
in milk production are shown. In the
case Of both beef and dairy cattle the
pedigree is not only certificate Of
pure breeding, but is an index to the
breeding value of the animal by max
ing matter of record the accomplish
ments Of the ancestry.
A crossbred animal is the offspring
Of a pure bred sire of one breed and
pure bred dam of different breed.
Grade animals are usually those of
which one Of the parents is pure bred
and the other scrub" or at least an
animal not pure bred. This is the gen
eral meaning. However, the offspring
Of grade parents would be grade also.
The term high grade applies to an
animal from q pure bred sire and from
dam that has much pure blood. How
ever, in the case of both grade and
pure bred the conditions might be re-
yersed and the dam be pure bred and
the sire a grade. This, however, is not
usual. A high grade herd of Jerseys,
for instance, would mean ordinarily
that a pure bred sire had been used
on herd Of common cows and that an
other pure bred sire had been used on
the heifers resulting from the use Of
the first sire, etc. The term high grade
begins to apply to the animals which
have seyen-eighths of pure breeding or
the result Of the third pure bred cross.
The term high grade is usually used In
with the systematic breed
ing up from common stock.

Head of Large Department Stores in New York, Chi cago and Boston, Together With Partner, Are Under Charges
THRONG MENACES
 IN COURT ROOM
Over Three Hundred Angry Depositors Are Elected from Bankruptcy Hear ing and Men Escape by Elevator
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl


 NEW YORK, March II. Henry Siegel, head of large department stores in New York, Chicago and Boston, and Frank E. Vogel, his part ner in a savings bank connected with the stores, were indicted by the grand jury on three counts, charging grand larceny, in accepting deposits when they knew the bank of Henry Siegel & Co. was insolvent.
 The Siegel stores corporation went into bankruptcy on December 30, last. Henry Siegel was president and Frank Vogel ice-president of this concern.
 Three hundred angry depositors hunted around the Federal building for Siegel to question him. They previously had been elected from the bankruptcy hearing, at which Siegel was testifying when the grand jury returned the indictments. Siegel tes- tified at this hearing that he did not invest capital in the private bank that bore his name. Miss Jessie Martin interrupted his testimony, and said she had the right to represent the depositors at the hearing. She was urged to remain quiet, and when she refused, she was led from the court room. Three hundred de- positors who were standing around the corridors were also put out for shouting threats against Siegel. Siegel testified that he and Vogel filed a bond and purchased fixtures for the bank Then he admitted they as floating capital for the bank. He declared he had no money to pay what he owed, and declined to an swer a question as to whether entry was made on the books of the stores when they borrowed from the bank, on the ground that it might incrim 1 mate him.
 Siegel said he had life insurance policies in favor of his daughter to the amount of Ss50,000. He once owned some paintings which, he said. his wife took four years ago. He 1 had no jewelry. In regard to his partnership with Vogel in the pri- vate bank, he said he and his part ner had an agreement to divide the profits each year. He said his sal ary from the Simpson and Crawford store in New York was 5000 per month. from the Fourteenth Street store, also in New York, s150 per month, and from the store in Chicago $1200 month. His wife. he said. spent most of the $46,000 year for his living expenses. This amount represented his total income. When one of District Attorney Whitman's detectives, who had been sent to the Federal building to watch l Siegel and his partner, told Siegel s attorney that the indictments had been returned, Siegel turned pale and from then on stammered out his an swers to the questions put to him. i Siegel and Vogel were taken to the
 ground floor of the building in a private elevator, so they might dodge the mob of depositors waiting for l them
