CHINESE SOLDIERS.
They Ars Regarded With Aversion by
 Their Own Countrymen.

Their Own Countrymen.
 The well known olden dislike Of, even contempt for. soldiers common to the industrious masses of China, in town as in country, is based on their experience that the soldier is loafer most of the time and terror to his country when war is in the air They have not glorifed valor or quite grasped the beauty, not to say the dutv, of dying for ones country al' though when they do fight they face death with a great indifference.
 Discussing this phase of the Chinese character. MT. Tone Noguchi, the Jap auese writer, says in the course of a recent article: .
 '"The Chinese hatred of soldiery busi- ness or the encouragement of efemi- nate indolence Is well explained in a famous ballad written by Pc Chui, called The Arm Broken Old Man This old man was not lnfrm until he received In his youth an order to be- como a soldier and intentionally broke his arm in order to be excused from such duty. Although his arm pained badly on a cold or rainy day, be was glad to be thankful for It. for, while his friends had been killed in the bat tlefeld. he alone could enjoy a long life"
 What a different sentiment from that of us Japanese, whose loyalty to the flag and the imperial house Is taught to begin with the sighting of our own es."-East and West News.

Ftarmigan have disappeared in all parts of Alaska this winter evidently. The theory that they bare only moved from one place tc another seems to be upset by tbe news coming from other parts Of Ure territory. The birds have disappeared altogether from the Non district and also from the lower Yukon as well as from Southern Yukon territory whic ueans the head Of the Yukon. Tn neither Of these places have the papers been able to tell the reason. h Nome it is said that the birds Gisarpeared in the same manner a5oJt thirty years ago but came back, or were reborn, more 'plenti- fuI than ever on the following year. l. protecting its animal life is it thot Providence has ignored the AL aska and all other codes to make a far more effective law, a law so perfectly effective and so mys- terous in its working that its dt7're origin is proven? - Seward Gateway.

Two Nisitina Cards.

In IS44 when NJ. de LAgrene was sent under Louis Philippe as minister ex. traordinary to China the courtesy of the ambassador greatly impressed the Chinese statesmen, particularly their "doyen." After the negotiations had been completed and NJ. de Lagrene was ready to embark a delegation brought him a great roll of paper. The ambas, sador seeing this parcel at once thought this was a present, knowing Chinese methods, but to his surprise they start ed to uuroll the cylinder, which extend ed to about fifty meters of paper, over I62 feet. Then he learned that 1t was the visiting card of the "doyen." In re turning his modest little bristol board the humiliated ambassador added a few words. which read, The ambassa. dor of France regrets that he Is able to offer only these simple words to your exceIlenCy."

cows FRESHENED IN AUTUMN
Calves Are Usually Strong and Vigor.
ous-Nothing to Check Growth
Butter Fat Higher.

One thing of great importance to the
dairyman is the time to have the cows
come fresh. Cows that freshen dur
ing the fall months come in at a time
when we are not quite so busy and
can look after them and give them
proper care and attention.
The calves are usually strong and
vigorous, and as fly time is practically
over there is nothing to materially
check their growth.
Fall-freshened cows no doubt re-
quire more attention than those COM
ing fresh during the spring months,
but as we usually have the spare
time at this particular period of the
year, the time in caring for them,
feeding, ETC., is proftably spent.
Butterfat Is usually higher during
the fall and winter, and of course this
makes the business profitable If we
have plenty of good feed and of the
right sort for producing butterfat.
There are many other good points
in favor of having the cows come fresh
during the fall months.

IMPORTANT TO MILK CLEANLY
II Not Done Cow Will Soon Have
Swollen Udder Which May Result
In Her Ruination.

It is important that cows be
MIXED clean. There Is q loss in two
ways in not milking them clean. Not
only does the owner lose the milk, but
the COW will soon have a swollen I'D
der, which may result in the loss Of
q quarter or ruin the whole COW, as far
as milking is concerned.
And, beside, If a COW testing 4
per cent butterfat be MIXED and the
first fourth of the milk be tested, 1t
will probably only test about 2 per
cent, and it may even be little lower.
The second fourth will test be-
tween and per cent and keep on
increasing, and the very last milk, or
strippings, sometimes tests as high as
Il and even 10 per cent. Hence, the
Importance Of getting the strippings.

milk three times a day. After two
weeks give little choice hay.
If the calf seems unthrifty or weak,
feed four times day and give slight
ly less at time.
Overlooking is more dangerous than
underfeeding. Keep the pals clean and
give milk warm, as nearly as posi-
bic the temperature of freshly drawn
milk.
Beginning the fifth week, gradually
substitute skim milk for the whole
milk. About the eighth week increase
the amount from six to ten pounds
twice daily.
Do not feed the froth which rises
In separator skim milk, as it is likely
to cause indigestion, bloat and scours.

WastefuI Method of Handling Manure.
feeds brought into the state more than
covers that in agricultural products
sold by Wisconsin farmers.
Enormous Waste of Manure.
The United States department of ag-
riculture estimated the number of cat
tie in the United States on January /,
1910 at 70000,O00; sheep, 57,2BOOO;
swine, 47,7S2,000. If we assume that
ten sheep or hogs are equivalent to
one COW or steer in manure production,
we shall have total of over S0,O00,-
600 cattle. They are no doubt equiva-
lent to G0,0O0O0 1,000-pound cattle. If
these are yarded four months each
winter, there should be a total manure
production during that period of 15O,-
100000 tons, having a crOp-producing
value of at least $200,000,000 above all
cost of handling. 1t is a very conserva-
tive estimate to place the waste of
this manure under the present system
of handling at 25 per cent, or $780,
100000 annually. 1t Is no doubt twice
that amount.
Manure is lost by weatherlng, leach
ing, heating, rotting, by piling in heaps
in the field and letting stand before
spreading. If you cannot spread it
soon after it is produced, store it in a
pit or manure shed.
OF all the ways in which manure is
handled, piling it in heaps in the field
is the most wasteful. 1t is worse than
leaving it under the barn caves and
letting it leach out there because of
the waste of labor involved in hauling
it to the field to be thrown away.
The overgrowth of lodged and half
| filled grain over such spots ought to
be sufficient to convince any man Of
the mistake of such method; yet
there are thousands of farmers who
are still piling manure in the fields,
Value of Liquid Manure.
A greater portion Of the fertllizing
value of the manure is found in the
liquid portion. The full effect of
neither the solid nor the liquid portion
can be obtained except when used in
connection with the other. If the
liquid Is permitted to flow away or
become leached out by rain and sepa-
rated from the solid portion, whether
In yard or field, 1t carries with 1t the
plant food. The only right way to
handle manure is to collect the liquid
by abundant absorbents as straw, get
1t promptly to the field, spread it there
at once and let sunshine and rain do
their work. The sunshine will evap-
crate the water and the rain which fol-
lows will dissolve the salts and wash
them into the soil where they are
needed.

RAISING CALVES FOR PROFIT
Wisconsin Specialist Gives Interesting
Hints About Building Up Money
Producing Dairy.

G. G. Humphrey, a Wisconsin dairy
specialist, gives the following facts
about building up a profit-producing
dairy from home-raised calves:
Use only q good, purebred sire, take
good care of the cows, and keep the
calves coming" right from birth.
Dry the mother off six weeks be-
fore date of calving, otherwise the
calf may be weak or understood.
Give the mother a clean, comfort
able box stall few days before calv-
ing, where she may be quiet.
Leave the calf with it's mother the
first two to four days, so it may get
the colostrum, or first milk"
From then until four weeks old, feed
from two to five pounds of it's mothers

their adult plumage and rapidly lose
in weight and therefore will not be fit
to kill until they are IS or 20 weeks
old.
1t is necessary to force your duck
lings to the greatest possible extent.
If they are not ready for market in ten
weeks, and have to be kept ten weeks
longer you either will make no profit
or lose on the bargain. At the older
age they will not bring nearly as much
as green ducks and will have cost you
nearly twice their worth.
