NOVEL POINTS OF THE LAW.

closed in the decision Of the supreme
Court of Iowa in state vs.. ward. In
which the court held that one charged
with killing a deer in violation % the
law may show in Justification that the
deer was on his pre- misses destroying his
property. Tho prosecution involved the
COT struction of an Iowa law "to cstab-
fish title In the state to all wild game,
whether dead or alive" The court says
that this title was fully recognized by
tho defendant at every step. No attempt
was made by him to appropriate OF cOu-
ccal the carcass Of the slain deer. ON
the contrary. he Immediately notified tho
public authorities and rendered the car
cass to the appropriate officer Com
menting on the killing of the deer the
court said

Killed not only while upon the defend

f%cndant's property. Giving the testi-
mony the fullest credence. the deer was

Of doing, and was threatening to do,
great injury to defendants property.

SUMMER CARE FOR THE CALF
Unless Young Animals Are Kept Grow.
ing During First Year Final
DEVELOPMENT Is Retarded.

By r. NJ WASHBURN, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station)
The first year of calf's life is the
most important with respect to its
growth. Unless animals are kept
growing during this period their final
development will be much retarded,
and the chances are they never will
reach the scale which their inherit
ance would give them.
On the best regulated dairy farms
calves are born in the autumn and
early winter, and they should receive
skim milk In moderate quantities
through much, or all, of the summer
following birth. On farms having hand
separators there Is no difficulty In
providing the sweet milk for calves,
morning and evening; but farmers
who patronize whole-milk creameries
or who still skim by hand should re-
member that after the first few weeks
milk for calves should either be thor
oughly sweet or fully sour, that the
most dangerous condition is the half
sour stage. If milk is fed to calves
when it is in this changing condition
It is almost certain to cause indiges-
.tion. 1t should not be half sour, nor
sour one day and sweet the next, but
always one or the other.
Clean feeding pals must be used,
otherwise the germs of fermentation
and diarrhea will be brought to the
infant cow from the slime Of the dirty
drinking dish. and with young calves
it is important that the temperature
at which the milk is fed be nearly
that of the body. Older animals may
receive milk of the temperature Of
the milk-holding tank.
While it Is very important that
heifers should have free access to
pasture during the second summer, to
develop strong bodies, the calf need
mot have pasture the first summer. In
fact, for calves born after the first
of the year, pasturing may be a dis
advantage Most young calves In this
country are better off chewing tender
may in the quiet and half-dark stable
than fighting flies, painting from the
heat, and cropping tough grass in the
pasture.

convenient can for collecting the milk
at the barn and transferring 1t to the
house.
These cans may be bought in various
sizes. For handling cream and skim
milk where separators are used, or
even where cream is set to sour for
buttermaking, the shotgun can,
shown in Fig. 2, is very convenient.
1t can be easily covered and set in
water and is convenient to handle.

DAIRY NOTES

Proper feeding determines the
amount OF gain in the dairy business.
The longer the milk remains In the
udder the more it is impoverished by
absorption.
There is only one time to churn,
these warm days, and that is early in
the morning.
A Hck Of meal In the manger will
always bring the cows home promptly
at milking time.

Blood In MIX.

Blood in milk is caused by ruptures
OF the small blood vessels in the udder,
allowing blood to flow into the milk
ducts. Nothing can be done. to pre-
vent 1t. Its appearance is not sign
OF disease. Frequently the ruptures
are caused by the cow striking her I'D
der against something.

Does 1t pay mentally?
Does it pay morally?

Nothing?

Cyclone Was PLAYFUL.

The great atmospheric freak that
has hit California for many months
struck the walnut grove on the Phil
lips ranch west of Pomona. 1t took
the form of small cycone and played
remarkable prank.
In one spot eight English walnut
trees were uprooted. The eight formed
almost perfect circle and the ninth
tree, which stood directly in the CEN
ter, was left standing, although the
ground around 1t shows that the roots
were torn loose from the earth.
Forty-three mature walnut trees
were uprooted in the Phillips grove by
the same storm. The twister also lift
ed the cap from the manhole on top
of the Phillips ranch house, and few
miles farther west 1t passed through
big walnut groove, uprooting every
tree In one row and not turning leaf
on any Of the others.-New York Sun.

FOOD FOR TAXPAYER.

Census bureau statistics show that
for the year 1913 the liquor revenue
received by state, county and munich
pal governments amounted to only
$79.516,9S9, or a per capita of 50 cents
This includes all incorporated places
of $500 people and over. This liquor
revenue constituted only As per cent
of the total state, county and munich
pal revenues, ,S45,901, 1928. To put
it simply, the states, counties and
cities got total revenue of $40 per
capita and a liquor revenue of only
$685.
Inasmuch as the per capita drink
bill of the American people is in ex-
cess of s2S, it is apparent that we
spend about 81 for every three and
ono-half cents returned to the states,
counties and cities by the liquor traf-

THE FULL DINNER Pail.

The FULL DINNER FAIL.
Everybody's Magazine, in its new
department, Keep Posted" narrates
and comments in recent number as
follows:
"Wine-woman-and-song has gone up
against dollars-and-cents in Lansing,
Mich, and the result is one of the
most notable so far achieved in Amer
lea. The most prominent leader Of the
drys is not an evangelist, nor any
other sort of custodian of the soul. He
is simply commercial person-R. H.
Scott.
"In the year 1910, in the factory Of
which Mr.. Scott is manager, in Pc
Rod of ten successive weeks, the en-
ployees lost total of 1923 working
days-and the wages of those days
because of not being able to recover
promptly from pay nights spent in sa-
looms.
"In the dry-versus-wet campaign in
1910 In Lansing Mr.. Scott fought for
morals and economics. Nevertheless
the campaign did not please all of
Lansing's business men. They thought
that dry town would lose business
to wet towns near by. So, two years
later, Lansing went wet again.
"This gave everybody wonderful
chance to compare dry Lansing with
a wet Lansing, commercially.
First, as for the cost of running the
government, it was soon found that a
wet Lansing had to spend a good deal
Of money supporting it's wet citizens.
One of many proofs was this: the cost
Of feeding the prisoners in the county
Jail during the two years while Ian
sing was dry had been $4,000, while
during the two ensuing years of wet
ness the cost Of feeding them Cat the
same rate per person. was $11,300.
Quite difference for town of 10000.
Second, as for business itself,
scores of merchants were converted to
the proposition that the competition of
saloons In nearby wet towns would
not be half so injurious to them as
the competition of saloons on Ian
sings own streets. Their experiences
may be summarized into the statements
of butcher who remarked merely
that when the town was dry he could
collect his back bills, and when it was
wet he couldn't
I'm the last dry-versus-wet campaign
In Lansing the merchants did not rally
to the support of the flowing bowl at
all. They turned to the overlooking
pay envelope and the paid-up ac-
counts. The issue discussed was pros
perity, and the majority for going to
it sober was 1900.
"The efficiency of the factory is at
least 10 per cent higher dry than wet,
according to Mr.. Scott.
And similar result is shown in the
cost figures furnished to Everybody's
Magazine by Mr.. c. E. Bement, gen..
eral manager of another company. In
a dry Lansing-and for no reason ex-
cept dryness and greater sobriety and
energy-the cost of making engines
by this concern has gone down 20
cents per horse power"
