 Must Be Sanitary,
 Says Health Inspector

C. Howard Dunbar clerk of the board of health has forwarded a let ter to James Saunders, superintendent of the Danbury & Bethel railway. or dering the officials of that company to have the company's two green cars scrubbed and placed in a sanitary condition.

SUCCESS OF DAIRYMAN
MUCH DEPENDS UPON CAREFUL
REARING OF CALVES.
Where Valuable Animals Are Raised
1t Is Advisable When Possible to
Have Separate Pens for Them
and Feed In Stanchlon.
(By C. n. ECKLES.)

The success Of the dairy farmer
depends to no slight extent upon the
careful rearing Of the calves. This Is
especially true since dairy COWS have
reached their present high market
price. Most farmers begin with ords'
nary COWS or the best they can get
close at home. AS rule this is tbs
best plan to follow. The development
Of e. high class herd from these will
depend largely upon three things:
l.. The careful selection OF indh
vidual cows.
@. The use Of a pure bred sire.
3. The careful raising Of the heis
er calves from the best COWS.
The cow should be in good flesh
at calving time for the best results
in milk She should be dry six weeks,
During the pasturing season there il
no better plan than to leave her in
the pasture, Of course under observa
tion, until the calf is born.
The dairy calf is ordinarily raised

than the calf that it requires the frs

calves are the victims Of ignorance
or carelessness. The skim milk call
properly raised differs little, if any
in size, quality, thrift, and value from
the same animal when raised by the
COW. -

which calves in the fall will produce
a greater yield during the year as the
summer grass stimulates secretion

The calf's quarters should not be

to result in sickness and bad results.
The bedding should be abundant and

trips to and fro, If danger threatens,

AS I write these lines in my leafy
tent, chipmunk comes in, foraging
for his winter supplies. I have
brought him cherry pits and peach
pits and cracked wheat, from time to
time, and now he calls on me several
times day. His den is in the or
chard but few yards from me, and
I enjoy having him for so near q
neighbor. He has at last become so
familiar that he climbs to my lap,
then to the table, then to my shoulder
and head, looking for the kernels OF
popcorn that he is convinced have
some perennial source Of supply near
me or about me. He clears up every
kernel, and then on his return, IN a
few minutes, there they are again!
might think him a good deal puz-
zled by the prompt renewal of the
supply, if I were to read my own
thoughts into his little noddle, but
see he is only eager to gather his
harvest while it is plentiful and so
near at hand. No, he is not Influenced
even by that consideration; he does
not consider at all, in fact, but just
goes for the corn in nervous eager
ness and haste. Yet, II he does not
reflect, he certainly has wisdom and
foresight OF his own. This morning
I mixed kernels Of fresh cut. green
corn with handful Of the dry, hard
popcorn upon the floor. At first he
began to eat the soft, sweet corn
but, finding the small, dry kernels OF
the popcorn. he at once began to stun
his cheek pockets with them, and
when they we're full he fastened on
to his den. Back he came in about
three minutes, and he kept on doing
this till the popcorn was all gone;
then he proceeded &c make his break
fast off the green corn. When this
was exhausted, he began to strip
some sAoke cherries (Which I hao
also placed among the corn) Of thelI
skins and pulp, and to fill his pockets
with the pits, thus carrying no perish
able food to his den. He acted exactly
as If he knew that the green corr
and the choke cherries would spoil
in his underground retreat, and thai
the hard, dry kind and the cherry
pits, would keep. He did know 1t
but not as you and know it, by rea
son Of experience; he knew It, as
ali the wild creatures know how tc
get on in the world, by the wisdom
that pervades nature, and is muct
older than we or they are.
