quired by practise, The science is
acquired not so much out of books
and thru observation Great calves
we're grown by hand before there
we're any agriculture colleges or
experiment stations. or any news
papers to speak Of. They grew
and waxed fat and brought big
money, because the men and wo
men who owned them had eyes in
their heads, and knew by observa-
tion few things worth Knowing.
Permit me to state few of theS e:
First, the unborn calf is fed thru
the navel by the blood of its moth
er, which leaves very little fecal
matter, but does leave some,
which accumulates in the lower
bowels until birth Nature pro
vides in the first milk, or what our
grandmothers called the ''beest
ings," a powerful aperient and
tonic, intended to cleanse the
bowels and give the youngster a
vigorous start in life. making its
outlook upon this strange world
hopeful. Therefore, if you want
to work in harmony with nlture,
give the calf the first milk, PIE
ferably letting it do its own milk
ing. But if you believe that the
cows affection must remain un.
gratified to save you trouble, then
at least 60 to the trouble of milk
ing and feeding the first milk to the
youngster. Don't be afraid that
it will get to much for it. Nature
made it on purpose, and made it
so that good deal OF it won't
hurt, but will help. You may
safely do this for about four days.
That's the first fact we observed
about feeding calves--just as our
grandmothers and great grand
mothers observed it before us.
The second thing to remember,
| if you undertake to feed this calf
the first milk, is that all its in.
stincts impel it to LOOK up for its
nourishment instead of down; and
you are going to have some trouble
in reversing this and training the
calf to 60 against instinct, Fur,h-
ermere, nature teaches it not to
drink, but to suck. You will get
along faster in teaching the young
bossy how to eat, if you will let it
suck your finger, or punch the pith
out Of a clean corn cob and let it
suck the milk thru that. This is
really the most difficult part of
teaching the calf.
Third, nature has provided in
the milk of the COW balanced
ration tor the calf. We don't
mean the COW that has been bred
for excessive butter.fat for genera
tions, but the wild cow If you
have been trying for generation
TO increase the butter fat, you had
better ask to what extent YOU
have succeeded, and then water
this milk-with warm water, mind
you--so as 10 make he percentage
OF butter.fat not over three per
cent. Less would be better, bat
be sure that the water is warm
All young things that live on milk
take their milk at about the same
temperature as the body of the
dam, Don't forget that nature is
very anxious about the life cf the
young, and you had better respect
her suggestions.
But you say, l want to get some
butter out of this COW. All right;
that's your privilege; but for the
first ten days, the calf has first
claim; and if you cheat it out of
full milk and proper milk. you are
stealing from a helpless calf; and
you won't escape punishment for it.
After that you can substitute
skimmIk, but do it gradually,
taking ten days for it. BY that
1t will come to that by and by;

ARMS FOR THE
MEXICANS

There are large quantities Of arms
and ammunitions destined for the Car
rama forces in Mexico which have been
held up at border railroad stations and
which will not be permitted to reach
their destination-until the President
changes his mind again. This is a pre-
cautionary measure which most Ameri-
cans will approve Of. One of the most
severe points of criticism of Wilson a 3
Mexican policy has been that he per
mitted the free passage from this eoun-
try of guns and cartridges which were
used against our own people, not only
against those who were domieiled in
Mexico, but against men and women on
our w soil who were made the victims
Of the various raids which have been

the Mexican bandits for the past three

LITTLE SPECULATION AS
TO REPUBLICAN NOMINEE

Although the Republican national
convention is but a triie more tna1
two weeks away, there is little specula-
tion in the press, particularly in the
coast country, as 10 the probable nomi-
nee. So far as the Republican papers
are concerned, this seeming omission is
no doubt due to the fact that there -
an earnest desire that the convention
select the most available man, one VINO
can lead his party to victory. To this
end, personal preferences and ambitions
have been laid aside, and the conven-
ton choice will undoubtedly receive
the support of all Republican newspa-
pers.
But, to do a little specializing on our
W account, from this distance it looks
ms though Judge Hughes might be nom
mated on the second or third ballot, by
a practically unanimous vote, would he
but indicate that he wishes the honor.
In the improbable event that his name
will not be presented to the convention,
Senator Weeks, Of Massachusetts,, will
no doubt receive more votes on the sec
ond ballot than any other candidate and
stands a good chance Of being success
full. Cummins, Of Iowa; Fairbanks, of
Indiana; Burton, Of Ohio, and other ia
vorfte sons will receive the votes of
their respective state delegations for
one or more ballots, but their candida
cies are not taken seriously, even by
their W delegations, who will nnly
vote for them as a recognition Of their
services to their home states.
But whoever the nominee, he is GER
tain to be elected. The present Demo
cratic administration was put in power
by a minority of the people, and has
been repudiated by a respectable mi
nority of that minority.

BRYAN WILL NOT ATTEND
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

William Jennings Bryan has caused
to be issued the following statement:
civilian j. Bryan has never had
any thought of going to the Dem
ocratic national convention as an
alternate from Nebraska nor as a
delegate from any other state.
Charles w. Bryan has had no
thought Of running for governor
without the Democratic nomina-
tion.o
1t is probable that the Bryans are
about through with politics. w. J. has
been in the limelight for twenty years,
which is much longer than the tenure
of the average politician. Starting out
in life an obscure country lawyer, by
having a constant eye to the main

BILE fortune, no doubt several times
larger than those possessed by col
leagues of his early manhood. Barnum,

in business enterprises. New steel works

The shares offered by the company were
over-subscribed 900 times. And we
