LINER NEW YORK STRIKES MINE

The American line steamer New
York, bound from New York for Liv'
erpool, struck a mine Monday night
when nearing her destination. The
explosion occurred on the port bow
of the vessel.
Nearby vessels went to the assist
ance of the liner and all her passen.
gers were taken off. The damage
which was confined to the forepari
of the vessel, was not serious and
the New York wasable to make hel
pier under her own steam. The yes
sci had shipped some water but hel
appearance as she came into the
river suggested nothing more thar
that she was heavily laden.

corn club work which has just been
transferred from the state board of
agriculture to the Ohio State univer-
sity. In addition, visits by university
representatives will be made to local
club meetings of the boys. The clubs
which are to be formed will consist OF
from eight TO twelve boys, who will
meet regularly to study corn problems
and talk over their experiences. Inas-
much as arrangements already have
been made for Offering the prize trips

This highly nutritive material is calcu-.
lated to sustain life for two or three
days, or until the chick is strong
enough to walk about and forage for
himself
Positively there is no need OF other
nourishment at this time, and 10 sup
ply any will invariably work more
harm than good. The absorption of the
yolk Is natures provision, with which
1t is folly to interfere. Water with the
chill taken off it may be used freely as
soon as the chicks areeremoved from
the incubator. but care should be
taken that the little fellows do not
wallow In 1t and get wet.
Drinking water should be accessible
at all times, preferably In shallow re-
ceptacles or I'm fountains made for the
purpose. If the fountains are allowed
to go Cry and-the chicks become thirsty
the attendant is in for trouble. When
the water is given out again the chicks
will pile up around the fountains in
their eagerness to quench their thirst
and will trample each other and splash
in the water. A lot of drenched chicks
will result. which is very apt to cause
chills and death. Then again, cases OF
cramps are caused by letting the chicks
become thirsty and then fill up on
water.

old is very small The rack should be
1emptied every day and fresh roughage
supplied.
Silage may be given after the calf is
lone month old, but the utmost care
SHOULD be observed to be sure that 1t Is
fresh from the silo. For this reason
VERY young calves, except in the hands
lof very careful feeder, should not be
fed silage, as 1T ferments rapidly.
IL the calf has access to a good pas
ture during the first six months it need
mot receive other roughage. Pastures
used in summer should contain plenty
lof shade. 1t is not advisable, however,
ito have calf under two months of
tage on pasture in the early spring.
Wheat bran is eaten steadily by
young calves. InaSmuch as one of the
essential points is to induce the calf to
seat grain as early as possible, bran in
smany cases is one of the ingredients
Tin the mixture. Corn, n feed very com
4monly found on the farm. has an eX-
seellent physiological effect upon cattle
lof all ages and to a great extent may
stake the place of the fat removed from
the milk. 1t is therefore one of the
ivery best grains to use with skimmilk
Experiments In Virginia tend to show
that corn fed to calves should be
.eracked rather than finely ground.
Cracked corn and wheat bran there
fore should be the basis of the feed
7mixture. Ground oats are very good
'Sor the purposes but they are not grown
ION the farm so commonly as corn and
I'm many cases cost much more per unit
lof feed than corn and bran. The fol
Glowing mixtures are recommended:
Three parts cracked corn and one
apart wheat bran, three parts cracked
ieorn. one part wheat bran and one part
iground oats; three parts cracked corn,
lone part wheat bran, one part ground
ioats and one part linseed meal; five
parts cracked corn, one part wheat
fbran, one part ground oats and one
part blood meal; oats. ground.
When the calf is in it's second week

'when one month old ii should eat
iabout half n pound a day. After this

gradually increased. feeding the calf

be some time during the third month.
Grain when fed with separated milk
lshould never be put into the milk.

TREATING OATS FOR SMUT.
Simple and Effective Method of De-
stroying Fungus ION Seed.

ktFoJfn9 n ht9d1 of ooods
Treating oats for smut requires no
implements or machinery more compli-
Gated than q scoop shovel or sprinkling
can. The formaldehyde. treatment has
proved to be more reliable and much
cheaper than any OF the commercial
preparations.
Perhaps the easiest way to treat oats,
says w. e. Hanger of the Ohio State
university, is to pour them out on
clean floor and sprinkle them thorough
ly with a solution consisting OF
pound or pint of formaldehyde and
forty gallons of water. 1t will usually
require nearly gallon Of the solution
per bushel of oats. After the oats are
thoroughly moistened they should be
heaped and covered with sacks or blan-
kets for three or four hours or over
night. They may then be raked- out
into a thin layer and dried. In no
case should they remain in the pile
more than fifteen hours, as the germi-
nation of the seed is liable to be in
jured
If they are sown the day after treat
ing it will Unnecessary to set the drill
to SOW two more pecks to the acre
than usual on account of the swollen
condition of the oats. If they are re-
soaked in the same solution. Drills
should also be thoroughly sprinkled
with the solution.

BAD FLAVORS IN milk.
Dairy Cattle Should Be Prevented
From Grazing In Weedy Pastures.

Don't let your dairy products taste of
weeds or grass if you can avoid it. Be-
cause butter fat absorbs flavors, par
ticular care should be taken in han
ding milk, cream and butter, according
to N. E. Olson. instructor in dairy hus-
bandry in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
The principal flavors derived from
feeds are the weedy f1avors. In the
spring creameries have trouble with
the wild onion flavor. This is some
thing that the farmer cannot prevent
and is caused by early pasturing.
Another common flavor is the half
grass flavor, produced from green feed
in the early spring. 1t can be tasted in
milk, cream, and also in ice cream. 1t
is found in practically all dairy prod
uctsS in the spring.
The method of preventing these fiav-
ors is keeping the cows from eating
weeds. Weedy patches in pastures
should be fenced off so that the cows
cannot get to them. Other flavors are
produced through the feeding of alfalfa
and silage. If silage is fed it is advis-
able to feed it after milking rather
than before.

Tho Pure Bred Is Vaiua Die.

The pure bred is valuable because he
has been bred for so many years with
out the admixture of any other blood
and because each male representing a
pure breed is possessed of the power to
transmit the breed characteristics of
his kind. Pure bred also means that
there is a continuous line of pure bred
individuals back of him. 1t must be
remembered that where grade stations
or grade bulls are used no progress Is
made. 1t Is the prepotency of the
breeding that makes it possible for the
Angus bull to sire large proportion OF
black polled calves from different col
ored or horned native cows. The pure
bred is valuable in grading up. The
progress In grading ceases as soon as
the pure bred sire is discontinued.

Famous Autoist Here
Mutt and Jeff's Wedding

Opening at the Amazon on Satur-
day, June 9th for an engagement of
one night Gus Hill will present for
the first time, the sixth edition of
Bud Fishers great cartoon success,
Mutt and Jeff, entitled Nut and
Jeff's Wedding. After breaking all
established theatrical records for vol
ume of business and pleasing audi
ences, this remarkable attraction will
offer an entire new entertainment for
the coming season, retaining nothing
but the title and those two character
Tconceits A. Mutt and his little friend
Othello Montgomery Jefferies. The
fact has been conceded by the best
newspaper authorities in. the world,
that Mutt and Jeff cartoons and like
wise the play of the same title, arc
the most remarkable. successes in the
history of the press and theatricals.
. In a number of cities where this at
traction has played four and five
times in the last two years, their last
engagement was better that the first
and the first was to capacity of the
theatre. This seasons offering will
show an entirely new scenic and cleo
trieal production, consisting Of sever
al sensational mechanical effects
never before attempted in a musical
comedy. A new book by a famous
author added to which is the bene-
fit of the entire theatrical expert
ence of that dean and wizard of car
toon production, Gus Hill. Every
real cartoon success in the last thir-
ty years has been under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Hill. His success in the
last five years with Mutt and Jeff is
the talk of the entire theatrical
world and his, judgement in selecting
the cartoons as material for a play
has made him fortune. No expense
has been spared to make the new
edition even more attractive than the
original production. An entire new
musical score has been furnished.

Greatest Danger tho First Week 10
That of Overfesdlna.
More chicks die from overlooking
than from undertaking. probably be-
cause few of us have any conception OF
the birds capacity. 1t is surprising
how far quart OF grain will go In the
matter of feeding flock of chicks
For the first few days a chicks at
tention is so occupied in learning how
to walk, run, dap bis wings. drink and
eat that he seldom gorges himself, no
matter how much feeds placed before
him; consequently the quantity may be
saidfto be unimportant-a handful of
scratch grains to hundred chicks will
suffice. Once he acquires the taste for
food. however-say when he Is about a
week old-heo seems to concentrate his
entire attention on 1t, and then the
feeding should be done judiciously.
Many people are in such hurry to
get the chicks growing that they start
to feed them as soon as they are re-
moved from the incubator. The chicks
system is not ready for food at this
time, hence 1t results In bowel trouble
or indigestion, and very often the chick
dies. The last development in incuba.

The chicks as they grow older will
