FACTS
FEEDING THE DAIRY CALVES
First Aim Is to Cut Down Whole-MiIk
Period-ResuIts of Tests at North
Dakota Station.

In feeding the dairy calf, the aim is
to cut down the period of whOle-milk
feeding. At the North Dakota expert
ment station, two lots of four calves
each were fed as follows: Whole milk
first three weeks, both lots. From
then on lot A was fed one-half whole
milk and one-half skim milk till six
months old. Lot B, after three weeks
old, fed skim milk with f1axseed; just
enough fax was added to supply as
much fat as was given the calves in
lot A in their whole milk. Each calf
was given two gallons of milk a day.
The whole-milk calves made the best
gains the first three months, but dur
ing the next three months the skim
milk calves nearly caught up, the four
lacking but Is pounds of weighing as
much as the whole-milk calves. Sew
eral expert cattlemen who examined
the two lots pronounced the calves
in lot B in as thrifty a condition as
those in lot A. The saving in using
skim milk and flax in place of, the
whole milk amounted to $40 per calf
for the six-month period. The grain
and hay cost the same for both lots.

MONEY VALUES IN BASEBALL

If you were a baseball manager,

Mebbe it's hard question to an

Speaker cost the Cleveland club in
the neighborhood of $4,000, the big
gest sum ever paid for ball player.
Collins was sold to Comiskey for a

KING LEWANIKA'S STATE BOAT
Royal Craft Is 100 Feet Long, Carries
Monster Elephant Emblem, Court
Jester and Musicians.

"While travelling In Rhodesia,"
writes a contributor In the Wide World
Magazine, II managed to get glimpse
of King Lewanika's state barge. The
chief of the Barotse is fine fellow,
but l was much amused one afternoon
to see him going out for a row attired
in a top hat and a gaudy dressing
gown.
"SOon after the rains commence the
Barotse valley is flooded and natives
migrate to the sandy belt some miles
away for the season. The king al
ways makes the trip in the royal barge,
an enormous craft about 100 feet long.
In the center are two compartments,
both covered in, one being the living
room and the other the sleeping quar-
tiers. On the roof of one of these COM
partments Is erected q monster ele-
plant, as a sort of kingly emblem,
while on the other stands the court
jester, who, on this occasion, amused
the populace by pretending to hunt
and shoot the elephant. A band of 20
musicians were accommodated on the
barge, in addition to whom there were
30 or 60 paddlers and host of baiIers,
for the barge was by no means water
tight. To the accompaniment of weird
music and barbaric song he huge craft
was propelled along on its journey, the
return voyage taking place four or five
months later"

Time to EIGHT Mice.

The time to fight mice is when your
house Is still rid of them. First make
a hard and fast rule that not crumb
of food is left exposed in kitchen,
pantry or cupboard. See also that in
the bedrooms of your home no waters
or other tasty bits are left where a
mouse might get them and thus find
encouragement to take up his perma-
nent abode there.
The next thing to do is to cut off the
means of entrance to your home, and
this is done by seeing that there are
no loose passageways into the cellar
or open cavities in the wall or loose
woodwork. AS a final resource you
will perhaps have to choose between
mouse trap and a cat. 1t all de-
ponds on your affinity for the feline
pet which you will do. But remember
that, whereas permitting mice to lodge
in your house was formely only an
act of slothful neglect, it is now one
of the crimes of wastefulness, of
which no patriotic woman should be

STYMIE is ABOLISHED
New Regulation Tried and Found
Wanting at Midlothian.
Rule Instituted as Result of Examples
in Western Tournament Needs
Further TriaI-Works Well
in Medal Play.

The new rule of the Western Coli
association, abolishing stymies, was
tried and found wanting at the West
ern amateur championship at Mid.
lothian, and the rule was changed by
the board of directors before the final
rounds, in which Francis Ouimet won
the title from Kenneth P. Edwards of
Chicago by the narrow margin of 1 up
in SO holes.
The rule, as announced several
| weeks ago, required that the nearer
ball be played first when both balls
were on the green thus avoiding sty-
mics. The plan worked well in medal
play, as there was no lifting of the
nearer ball, and an average of Is min
utes' time was taken off an 1S-hole
round without any detriment to the
players, since they were contesting the
field instead of one man. When the
match play started, however, the con-
testants were loud in their clamor for
a change in the rule and President
Charles F. Thompson, agreeing with
the players, had new one drafted.
The new one still abolishes stymies,
whether due-to the faulty play of the
owner of the stymied ball, or to the
accidental position of his opponents
ball, but requires the ball further from
the hole to be played first, unless a
stymie exists. In that case, the nearer
ball is to be played first or lifted, at
the option of its owner. The rule
reads:
when both balls are on the put
ting green, if the player of the ball
furthest from the hole claims that
the nearer ball interferes with his
putt, the nearer ball, upon request,
shall be lifted or played at the op-
ton of it's owner"
1t was contended by the DIRECTORS
to the original rule that the playing
of the elements of competition allowed !
the opponent to know just what he
had to do after the other man had |
holed out and made the owner of the |
nearer ball play from two to three |
shots in rather rapid succession.
In the finals at Midlothian only one
partial stymie was laid during the SO |
holes. Ouimet lifting his ball on the
ninth hole, while Edwards putted. 1t
frequently happens, however, that Ed
with his poor putting on the
first nine, would have had to play
three puts in row, while Ouimet
stood by and determined just what he
had to do and how to do it. That
was because Edwards was frequently
nearer the flag ON his approaches, but
could not putt dead, or get down from
MS first attempt.
AS the play went, it could have
lone Edwards no harm to play the
nearer ball first, for he took % puts
IN the first nine, when only Is were
Indicated by his long game and ap-
,roaches, which were in general bet
er than Ouimet's.

DRYING UP A cow DIFFICULT
Milking Habit in Some Is So Strongly
Developed They Give Milk Up
to Calving Time.
(By w. S. CUNNINGHAM. Assistant

(By W. S. CUNNINGHAM, Assistant
Animal Husbandman University of Ari-
IONA Expe riment Station.)
Many times certain cows are very
difficult to dry up. The milking habit
is so strongly developed that they tend
to give large quantity of milk right
up to calving time. The proper way to
dry up most cows is to cut off all grain
in the ration and milk only once day
for a few days. Then lengthen the
periods between milkings by milking
only once in two or three days until
the secretion of milk is nearly stopped.
In very persistent cases the feed sup
ply may have to be cut down more
severely. However, there is little dam
ger of injuring the udder if reasonable
attention is given.
