SOME FLOWER NOTES

Pot your callas early in September.
Sprinkle powdered borax around
plants that are bothered with ants.
Mark the native plants when in
bloom. and this fall transplant them
70 your border. Many Of them are
worth having IN the garden.
The spotted Gala win die down
after blooming and should be left 70
the ground until late autumn. when e
can be taken up and stored until jan
uary. Store like gladiolus bulbs.
For rose mildew spraying with sui
phide Of potassium. using one ounce 70
three gallons Of water. Is much more
effective than the old-fashionsd
method Of busting the foliage with
flowers Of sulphur.
Try making climbers Of your choice
petunias. Trim out ga but three or
four branches and keep these tied up
% q stake Or frellis. Give them rich
soil and plenty Of water. II you want
something beautiful

CAREFULLY ADJUST
COLLAR OF HORSES
Sore Shoulders Are More Easily
Prevented Than Cured-Rest
the Team Often.

/ have found that sore shoulders
on horses at blowing and cultivation
time are due largely to a lack OF
humane thought and to neglect on
the part Of the driver. We cannot be
too careful about fitting the collars.
The trouble lies there. The collar
should be fitted to every horse with
precision and pains. II is cruel and a
mistake to change harness from one
team to another without carefully adj
justing the collar each time. says a
writer in Baltimore American. The
padding Of the collar should be
worked down with the hands until it
conforms to the shape of the horses
shoulder. The surface Of the collar
should be clean and free from grit.
When the collars are removed after
working it takes but little time to
battle the shoulders in cold water,
and It counts a great deal. It tough
ems the shoulder and removes all
sweat and dirt. Calling will never
occur II the horse is not overheated
beneath the collar. It takes some
thought and care to prevent this, espe-
cially on sultry. humid days.
Cultivation is very strenuous and
heating, and upon sultry days the
team should be rested often. the col
lar being lifted from the shoulders to
allow them to dry and cool
Many think CALLED shoulders a nee
essary evil, but sore shoulders can
be prevented and are more easily pre-
vented than cured. If I think I
cannot avoid calling upon g hot, hui
mid day, / prefer to put the team In
the barn.

While the fragrance Of the mignon-
cite is highly enjoyable, we question
whether It is not better when only
few flowers are grown to depend
for fragrance upon some Of the flow
ers which are also beautiful In form
and color. as the sweet pea and the
carnation.
The rose-geranium slip planted
early In May will soon become an inn
mense plant with most luxuriant TO
liage, which is just the thing for en-
circling the base Of your bouquet, be
the flowers what they may.
The leaves are also used in scent
ing the handkerchief OF note paper
box.
Another year you may decide to
border your bed Of geraniums with
this scented rose, OF better to alter
nate the green with the white edged
variety.

Famous Royal Artillery Band.

One Of the most famous bands Is
that Of the Royal artillery. Many per
sons who have attained distinction in
the musical world have been connect
ed with the Royal artillery or its band,
Among them was Sims Reeves, who
was the son Of a bandsman, and who
in his boyhood, sang in the military
choir at Woolwich. It is, perhaps, not
well known that the Royal artillery
band is fifty years older than the
Philharmonic society, having been
formed in 1852. It has done much for
the advancement Of music in England,
and has always enjoyed the advantage
Of having a succession Of eminent mu-
sicians as bandmasters. It has always
been double-handed; that is to say,
the players are as proficient on
stringed instruments as on wind, and
can at any time assume the character
Of an orchestra.

Kansas station a lot Of skim milk
calves which we're placed in the feed
lot at once and finished with alfalfa
hay and corn made an average gain Of
$40 pounds per head, consuming "a
bushels Of corn during the second pc
Rod. Adding this to the average
amount fed to the skim milk calves
up to six months Of age, the total
is 3s bushels Of grain when the
calves were sent to market Weighing
a little over 500 pounds.
Another lot Of skim milk calves was
placed In the feed lot and finished as
baby beef on cut alfalfa and IS bush
els Of grain per head They were
sold when they weighed TAO pounds
at ~ months. The calves in this ex-
pertinent, however, we're Of very low
breeding and were well suited for the
purpose. If they had been well-bred
calves, Professor Wheeler states
they might have been brought up
about a 100 pounds Of weight on the
same amount of grain. These are
some Of the things that the baby
beef feeder must thoroughly under
stand before he undertakes to start
in the business.
Another thing to be figured in the
cost Of making baby beef is the cost
of feeding the dam while producing
the baby beef for market. If the COW
has given no other return she is GER
tainly worth at least SIS per year, and
this should be charged against the
calf when he is sent to market. Too
many feeders fail to take this impor-
tant item into account, overlooking
the fact that they must feed the COW
while she is producing milk to give
the youngster a start. If she has fur
nished milk which has been sold OF
made into butter or cheese then, OF
course, this item may be very much
reduced
The calves should be allowed tc
suchle the dams as long as possible
In order to keep what is known as
"calf fat" that is, the natural fai
which is on their bodies when born
and they must be taught to eat grain
as soon as possible. This should be
in the form of oats and corn ground
and if fed with one-half bran the
ration is an excellent one.
It is a mistake to feed very young
calves cottonseed meal as it is toe
strong for their digestive organs anC
is liable to upset them and prevent
them from laying on fat.

There is good profit in making
baby beef; that Is, in preparing ami
mails for market when they are from
twelve to eighteen months old, but not
every man can make It. Many things
enter into the preparation Of baby
beef which very few farmers possess.
In the first place he must have on
his farm an abundance of foods that
are wen adapted for the particular
purpose Of making growth and fat In
me youngsters. He must not feed
foods that are so coarse that they viii
not be suitable for young stock, II he
does he will produce paunchy animals
and fail to get on their ribs the nee
essary fat and to make them profit
able. Foods, especially fodder, which
may be suitable for older animals are
often entirely unfit for the production
Of baby beef. There is a tremendous
waste in feeding young animals al
though a pound Of grain fed to the
very young calf may produce a pound
Of gain, but with this there is more
OF less waste, mainly. water, and the
first thing to do is to start the fat
going on the youngster.
If the calf is allowed to become thin
he can never again be properly fat
tened. Baby beef must be started
from the moment the animal is able
to take his first meal from his mother
and he must be first every moment
from that time until he is sent to
market
Dry straw fattens calves particularly
when they lie on It and sleep a great
deal. Young calves are much like
young babies, they must be stuffed as
much as they will in peace and quiet.
Sunshine and plenty Of fresh air
are almost as necessary as food be-
cause they help digestion wonderfully.
The farmer who has plenty Of skim
milk, alfalfa, clover and corn may
produce baby beef at a profit. Calves
can be raised on skim milk until about
six months Of age, provided they are
fed on grain, clover or alfalfa at a
comparatively small cost. Some ex-
perienced feeders say they can make
$50 to 400 pounds Of baby beef at six
months at a cost of less than IS per
head. In this cost the skim milk
has been put at so cents per
hundredWeight. Roughage figures
at "a per ton, and all grain at SO
cents per hundredweight. Labor Is
put in at 10 cents an hour. At the

POULTRY FANCIERS'
NEED OF INDUSTRY
Men Wanted to Create Breeds
and Perfect Old 0nes-SpeC-
uIatOr Is Passing.
~ II. x. BOYERl


II has been asked: VIII the fanci'
ers eventually be driven to the wall by
the progress made in growing market
poultry? Certainly not We need fan
ciers-real fanciers. We want men to
create breeds and to perfect the old
ones. But the Spectator and the
huckster is fast seeing his finish.
The man with a string Of breeds is
not a fancier. He is a Spectator. It
would be next to impossible for him
to give each Of these breeds his best
attention. To thoroughly know a
breed, and to get out Of it all that is
good it would require an ordinary life
time.
Amateur fanciers win often buy
eulls from breed well advertised and
then advertise eggs for Matching from
so-and-so's strain. The man is a
worse enemy Of the fancier than the
man who breeds dunghill fowls.
A wonderful interest has sprung up
IN poultry matters Large sums Of
money are being invested, and poul.
try farms by the score are started.
These new farms are on the lookout
for utility stock The man who can
advertise big egg records generally
gets the trade. They want carcasses
and egg reeords-business poultry.
So the best advice to the beginner
is to join the utility ranks and raise
poultry and eggs for market.
Then in after years be can, If he
feels 30 inclined, gradually creep up
into the fancier's fold. It Is a step
that cannot be taken hastily.

The Human Touch.

There must be the sensitive touch.
A visitor to a mandatory saw a man
molding clay into pots. Noticing that
all the molding was done by hand, he
said to the workman: why do you
not use a tool to aid you in shaping
the clay?" The workman replied:
There is no tool that can do this
work. We have tried different ones,
but somehow 1t needs the human
touch" And how true it is that IN

PLANTS FOR THE BORDER

In choosing plants for the border,
try to get those varieties which give
a succession Of bloom. The majority
OF ornamental shrubs come into bloom
early in the season, but there are
many which give fine effect during
the summer and well along into the
autumn months. While some shrubs
are a foot or less tall, others reach a
height Of ten or twelve feet, and this
should be considered in determining
location.
