FOR COUNTY TREASURER

The position of county treasurer
has always demanded first class
material from the voters who select
that official. The Republicans have
this year nominated Newton Cole
for that place and 1t is recognized
that he has every qualification for
filling it. He had long experience
In a railroad office and has for sew
eral years been accountant In the
offices OF the Belle Springs Cream
cry company. He is accurate, care
full, accommodating and in every
way a man who makes friends in a
public position. He has wide &C
uuaintance both in the county at
large and In this city and Harrington
which have been for years his places
of residence.
1t is really credit to the county
to secure a man of Mr.. Coles ability
to fill its public offices and If the
county were to be searched from

George Huffman has done Just
that and no man is better known IN
Dickinson than he. He has handled
stock for years and has dealt with
practically every man in the county
Not one has ever accused him OF be-
ing unfair. He has been square
every day and in every deal.
This year he asked the Republi-
can nomination for sheriff and re-
ceived 1t unanimously. He has the
qualifications of first class sheriff
and the business of the county woulo
be looked after in his hands as
carefully as is his own-and that
means that he would make first

timber out of which to make a good

GOT BULLET IN EYE.
Fair Haven Boy Victim of Airgun in
Hands of Friend.

Fair Haven, Jan. 3l.Wray W., l5-
year-old son OF DR.. and Mrs. G. II. Grit
fin, was accidentally shot at about 5
o'clock Thursday afternoon, while with
some other boys in the H. B. Clement
sporting goods store in that village.
The boy received B shot in his left
eye from an air rife in the hands OF one
OF the boys; it is supposed, although he
has not been willing to give any infor
nation about the exact way the accident
happened.
All that is known is that Wray was
entering the main store from rear door,
not knowing that the boys were shoot
ing the rifles, when he was injured, and
that it is said that the boys were not
aware of their comrades approach.
How serious the injury will prove is
not known but that it is a very serious
one, there is no doubt. The leaden mis-
sile was still in the eye yesterday and
preparations were being made to use an
X-ray to locate its position. DIR. G. g.

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
DEVELOPING THE DAIRY CALF.
Raising the Future Mixer.
E. X. PARKINSON.

The development of a dairy calf
should begin in the sire and dam back
several generations. To illustrate, if
there is land enough to keep COW and
money being distinctly an object it is
decided to buy heifer calf and raise it.
! With this end in view, the milkman or
butcher is interviewed, and, being an
obliging chap, he finds pretty little
bossy, drops $40 into his pocket and
the prospective mixer is installed. For
two years the beast is fed, petted and
watched over, and at last the eyentful
| day arrives when, with new milk pail in
hand, the family gather in the barn to
watch the milking-the result, about
eight quarts daily. At first that sounds
very well, but wait moment. The Mas
sachusetts Agricultural college has found
the keep Of COW feed, insurance, taxes,
depreciation, etc., costs $l46.04 per year,
SO let us do some figuring; Eight quarts
for 800 days 1.-THE cow being dry two
months yearly gives 2,400 quarts, which
if sold at 6 cents per quart would return
Sl44, a loss of $204 mot quite what
we had reckoned on, is it?
How to Feed.
Therefore a future dairy COW should
come from line of good milkers-at
least, on the sire's side-and will cost
as a calf about $25, but the money is
well expended, and the calf once pur-
chased the Importance of spending
thought as well as feed in its develop
ment should not be forgotten, especially
during the first six months. Feed new
milk the first two or three weeks, four
to six quarts daily divided into three
feeds, then gradually substitute skim
milk and continue SO to feed until six
months old. Skimmilk and well-cured
hay, alfalfa or clover fed three times
daily should make the bulky part of the
ration. Silage may take the place of
one feed of hay when three months old
and may be fed twice daily after six
months. In addition to bulky feed, the
calf requires grain to furnish nutriment
and stimulate growth. Feed little at
first, about half pound day in
clean wooden box, and gradually increase
until two pounds are given. A good
mixture consists of cornmeal, ground
oats and wheat bran in equal parts and
a half part of linseed meal Feed the
spring calf in the barn the first summer
and when year old turn her into good
pasture, where no other food will be |
required. Fall calves should not be |
obliged to depend entirely on pasture
until eighteen months old. Keep the |
heifer growing. feed her wen, but do not
fatten her.
