Tumulty that they considered the change
iepudiatlon OF the agreement

ana of their understanding with the
effect would be reduction Of wages on
the canal Of from 10 TO 20 per cent Be
sides this. permanent scale OF wages

Estimate Submitted.
The Attorney General February -
submitted an estimate upon which this
appropriation was based, stating in his
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 70 tno EFeelQeuS 1no
Secretar. Of the Treasury that It was
for services Of the fiscal year ending
Juno 81. 1916.
The estimate was favorably consid-
cred by the Senate committee on ag-
riculture as soon as possible. but tho
sundry civil bill, to which It was to
have been added as an amendment in
the form in which it was drafted. was
at the time beyond the reach of any
new item of amendment and addition.
For that reason the item was added
to the deficiency bill.
Owing to oversight it was incorpor-
ated in that measure in its original
form. To all committees having to do
with the appropriation 1t was duly
explained by officials of the Department
of Justice that it was for use during
the fiscal year 1916, and undoubtedly
was so understood. The item was
agreed to without debate, and became
part Of the act as passed.

In rendering the decision he said:

IN rendering the decision he said:
The work to be accomplished is OF
such character that 1t cannot be ac-
complished. In fact, could scarcely be
commenced. during the present fiscal year:
hence, to hold tho appropriation available
for this year Is not only to hold it avail
able for year during which the object
cannot be accomplished, but Is necessarily
also to hold that It will not be available
for the year in which its objects can and
are intended to be accomplished.
with tho power in my hands to pre-.
vent the serious consequences Of ar
error such as this do not believe am
technical question should deter me from
assuming the responsibility Tho appro.

I will direct that 1t be SO carried on ths

RAISE THE HEIFER
CALVES FOR DAIRY
More Than Pay for Trouble in
Quality and Quantity of
Milk They Produce.

The large milk producers, having
summer pasture and forage crops, are
decidedly in favor of raising their
own cows. They may cost little
more, but they more than pay for the
expense and trouble of raising in the
quantity and quality of the milk they
yield.
The difference between an average
and an extra mixer is fully 1000
quarts Of milk III a season, worth fully
$50, or half the price of an extra
COW.
The calves to raise are the heifers
of your best mixers, sired by a
thoroughbred bull Of good milking
stock. This matter is so we'll under
stood that dairymen, who are good
judges of COWS, will give an extra
price for q COW having record as a
first-class mixer
1t is satisfactory and profitable to
raise ones own COWS and see the
steady improvement of the herd by
careful selection, good feeding and
management. This is much the best
way to build up profitable herd.

SWEET PEAS USED
AS A COVER CROP
As Good Green Manure Crop as
Any Other Variety Of Peas
Easy to Grow.

In Mexico the sweet pea has been
tried out as a cover crop and found
most promising. In New Mexico the
peas are sown the last of September
or the first Of October In the East,
in the latitude of New York, autumn
planting would likely cause a partial
or total loss of the crop, unless the
peas were planted very deep, six OF
eight inches.
Peas are ready to turn under by
the first of May. The vines during
normal seasons are in full bloom by
May 18. Some were not turned under
until the last of May.
The results indicate that this is one
of the hardest and easiest to grow Of
the pea family. The high cost of the
seed may keep it from being ex-
tensively planted, otherwise the sweet
pea makes as good a green manure
crop as any of the other varieties
of peas.

true, and no calf is we'll born from
ton while she is carrying it.
The danger of this is greater among
dairy cattle than among other breeds
of cattle, for the reason that they pos.
sess an inherent quality of throw
ing their food into milk. Cows that
are carrying calves should be fed
plenty of bone-and-muscle-form
foods in connection with some form of
good, nourishing, succulent food, Ell
tier roots or ensilage.
The dairy COW should have period
of rest after each milking season, so
that she may have time to build up
her energies and nourish her calf.
She will need a period of rest after
she drops her calf, so that she may
be in good, vigorous condition when
bred. Cows need rest, and time to
regain their normal condition before
they are bred again. Have you ever
stopped to think how fast we are run
ming the cow-machine when we force
her to keep up heavy flow of milk,
besides nourishing calf, during the
larger portion of a year? Is it any
wonder that dairy farmers are alarmed
over the health of their herds, and
are sending for tuberculin, hypoder-
mic syringes, and thermometers, when
they are forcing their cows to their
utmost capacity?
Is it strange that they have abor.
ton, defective teats and udders, and
other ailments, when we compel them
to put all their energies into produc-
ing dairy products for US? What we
need in the dairy business is plain cow
sense, and a knowledge of the laws
of health and vitality in our dairy
herds.
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1915-10-14
By M. KELLY)

In the feeding of herd of dairy
mails have been artificially bred and
developed until they stand before us
very unbalanced and abnormal ami
mails. The feeding of dairy cattle has
been largely from the standpoint of
production at the pail, and not atten-
ton and study enough have been de-
voted to the selection of foods best
adapted to the health of the cows, and
to the calves they are carrying.
On the other hand. there are many
dairymen who are feeding for produc-
ton and not for profit. You may ask
if feeding for production is not feeding
for profit. Not always. 1t is not the
men securing the most milk who are
making the most clear money from
their dairy business. There Is limit
as to how much feed the COWS can
utilize at q profit, just the same as
there is a limit to how much grain
feed the COWS can consume without
doing serious injury to their digestive
systems.
When we speak Of the productive
qualities Of the COW, we should not
fail to keep in mind that productive
qualities include the calf as well as
the milk. Whenever we conduct our
feeding on any other basis than this,
we are doing it at the expense Of
the vitality and health of our cows
as we'll as the calves they are carry
ing.
1t is not alone for present results
that we are feeding, but for the de-
velopment of the calf that is to. some
day take the place of its dam in the
herd. The old saying that "a calf
well born is half grown" is eminently

GROUND LIMESTONE
CORRECTS ACIDITY
Strong Evidence to Show That
Unburned Stone Is EffeC-
tive and Economical.

New York agricultural experiment
station advocates the use of ground
limestone to correct soil acidity, and
gives strong evidence to show that
this unburned stone, ground 'moder-
ately fine and applied in liberal guam
titles once in rotation of from three
to five years, is fully as effective as
other forms of lime, and in some con-
ditions decidedly more economical.
In many cases a grinder can be
bought comparatively and set up in
neighborhood where the limestone
lodges are plentiful, thus saving
freight. The work can be done in
seasons where other farm work is not
pressing
