FEEDING CALVES DRY GRAIN
Corn, Barley, Oats or a Mixture May
Be Used to Supply Missing Fat
Feed In Trough.

In feeding skim milk calves the
grain needed to supply the missing fat.
may be corn, barley, oats or mix
ture. Occasionally a feeder has skim
milk or alfalfa or clover hay on hand,
and to these he adds linseed meal,
cottonseed meal or gluten feed. These
are all In protein, and when any one
of them is combined with skim milk
and alfalfa-both high in protein-an
unbalanced ration results and scours
or other digestive troubles follow.
The digestive tract Of a calf Is
small and frequent feeding Of small
amount during the first month Is best.
During the first month 1t Is better to
grind the grains fed. At the end OF
this period either oats or corn may be
fed unground. Hard grains like kafir
and milo give best results when
ground. All grain should be fed dry In
u trough. Mixing feeds with milk is
not recommended, as calves chew their
feed better when fed dry.

GRAIN FOR PIGS ON ALFALFA
viii Return More Profit II Fed Corn,
According to Data Of Nebraska
Experiment Station.

Pigs on alfalfa pasture will return
more profit per pig If fed grain ra-
ton equal to three per cent OF their
weight. according to data Of the North
Platte (Neb.) experimental substation.
The pig is a pork-producing machine,
and like other machinery Is most
profitable when run at full capacity.
A pigs stomach is so small that 1t
will not digest enough alfalfa alone
to make profitable growth. Pigs
cannot produce the best gain when
on pasture alone or when on pasture
supplemented by only small amount
Of grain.
Tests made at the North Platte
substatiOn show clearly that two and
one-half to three pounds Of corn daily
per 100 pounds Of live weight Of the
pigs produce not only the greatest
gain but the greatest profit. The
higher the price of corn, the smaller
the profit in favor of the heavier ra-
ton. However, on a market quot
ing corn at 70 cents and hogs at IN
cents, the 3 per cent ration is still
the most profitable.

DENMARK TO CONVEY HER WEST
INDIES TO UNITED
STATES.
WILL MAINTAIN CONCESSIONS
America to ReIinquish All Objections
to Scandinavian Domination OF
Greenland - Can Extend Political
and Economic Interests.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Prestdent
Wilson has sent to the senate for rati-
fication the treaty with Denmark Tor
the sale Of the Danish West Indies to
the United States. Although the
treaty has been carefully guarded from
publicity, the International News Serv-
Ice correspondent is now able to fur
nish the full list of its exact terms.
The convention is preceded ny a
declaration by Secretary Lansing that
the government of the United States
will not object to the Danish govern
ment extending their political and eco
nomic interests to the whole Of Green
land"
This treaty consists Of II articles,
as compared with seven in that OF
1902. In many respects they are SINH
lar. The most important changes are
found in Article III, in which are
enumerated the grants and concessions
the United States will maintain in &C.
cordance with the terms Of the grants
when made by the Danish government.
Article / describes the territory
ceded as the Islands Of Saint Thorn
as, Saint John and Saint Cro1x, TO-
gether with the adjacent islands and
rocks" and including 1.-THE right OF
property in all public, government or
crown lands, public buildings, wharves,
ports, harbOrs, Notifications, barracks,
public funds, rights, franchises ana
privileges and all other public prop
erty of every kind or description now
belonging to Denmark, together with
all the appurtenances thereto" 1t In
cludes also all public archives.
In Article II Denmark guarantees
that the cession Is free and unincum-
bered "by any reservations, priv
leges, franchises, grants or posses
sions held by any governments, cor
porations, syndicates or individuals
except as herein mentioned"
Article III contains many special
agreements. The arms and military
stores of the Danish government are
to remain it's property, to be removed
as soon as practicable.
The United States agrees to MAIN
tain certain grants, concessions and
licenses given by the Danish govern
-ment in accordance with their terms.
Article Nv provides for the appoint
ment of proper agents for the pur-
pose Of formally delivering and ac-
cepting the territory coded.
Those who remain in the Islands
may preserve their Danish citizenship
by making within one year from the
date of exchange of notifications dec
laration of their decision to preserve
such citizenship. In default Of such
declaration they shall be held to have
renowned it and accepted citizenship

Of seed, but the spread is usually by
scattering root stocks about with the
harrow or other farm implement.
Mr.. Kennard reoJ,amends two meth
DDS of attack: Growing q cultural crop
and summer-fallOwing.
Where the land is badly infested the
former will require great deal or
hard labor. If the pest Is to be ex-
terminated no green portion must he
allowed to show itself and that means
eternal vigilance on the part of the
farmer. 1t is not enough to keep the
soil clean between the rows. None OF
the grass must be permitted to grow
In the hills. Two years Of this treat
ment is recommended.
When land is partly occupied, the
summer-fallow method is probably
most economical. One crop Is lost,
but the additional yield the succeed
ing year will usually offset this when
the low cost of cultivating fallow land
as compared with corn land is con-
sidered. The field should be plowed
In the fall and Again in the spring to
a depth Of six or eight inches. A good
mulch three inches deep should be
prepared with disk and harrow and
this mulch kept cultivated with sufti-
cient frequency to prevent any growth
above the surface Of the ground. By
preventing this part from developing
the roots are simply starved to death.

WATCH THE TREES CLOSELY
Study Those That Are Shy Bearers,
Susceptible to Disease and In
Jury by Insects.

Notice the fruit trees carefully. See
which tree bears heavily, ripens on
time and natures high grade of fruit.
Notice the trees that are shy bearers,
the tender trees susceptible to disease
and insect injury.
It is highly desirable that the fruit
grower become thoroughly familiar
with the tendencies of the various
trees so he will know how to treat
them. Trees are much like animals.
A person can always get better re-
suits with animals If he understands
their peculiarities.

PRESENT INDICATIONS SHOW A
MAJORITY AGAINST coNsTi.
TuTloNAL CONVENTION.
FIGURES FROM 90 COUNTIES
Reports Now In, Though Not officIa',
Give a Majority Against the Prop )
osition of Over Fifteen
Hundred.


The indications are that the PROPOSE
ton to hold constitutional convention
in Tennessee is defeated by more than
1000 votes. The counties from which
no figures have been received are Clai-
borne, which went against it by a
small majority; Fentress, Lake, Ma
con, Rutherford and Sequatchie. Sc
quatchie is supposed to have held no
election on the proposition. Ruther-
ford's vote has not been canvassed.
Lake has probably gone for it. Fen
tress has almost certainly gone against
the proposition. Gibson, which had
been counted for the proposition by
800 votes, showed up with. majority
of. 637 for the proposition and one pre-
cinct out. Dickson county, on the 9TH
or hand, heretofore counted for the
proposition, took fright at 1t and gave
a majority of 325 against the PROPOSE
tion.
Figures, not all Of them official,
from ninety of the ninety-six counties,
give majority against the PROPOSE
ton of 1854. Against this there Is
said to be an error of 300 in the ma
