Amount Of Milk for Calf.
At birth a 50-pound calf should have
about eight pounds of whole milk q
day, while 100-pound one should have
about twelve pounds. For the first four
days milk from the dam should be fed,
then that from any OF the other cows in
the herd, preferably not from any that
are nearly dry. Milk containing not
more than per cent butterfat IL con-
sidered best. :.
At the beginning Of the third week
either skim or separated milk, may be
substituted for whole milk at the rate
OF one pound day. The daily ration
may be increased from two to four
pounds, depending upon the vigor Of
the calf. When the calf does not drink
eagerly what is offered, the quantity
should be cut down. The ration at the
end Of the third week usually should be
approximately one-half whole and one
half separated milk. During the fourth
week the change should be continued
until by the end Of the week only sep
arated milk il fed, unless the calf II

GUS calves the change to sep

perhaps in most of the countries at war who cannot from the standpoint of conscience justify war under any circumstance. We only wish that the at all times of this opinion, for then wars would cease entirely, but we know as the world stands today there are causes which are considered as justifying war by all the nations of the earth, so we are not dealing with an ideal but with a reality. Now if we are going to have war with Germany it is not because we have sought war with Germany,a but because Germany has and is seeking a war with us. She has already murdered about two hundred of our citizens, among whom were a number of helpless women and children. For this dastardly outrage there is neither moral nor reasonable excuse The only ground on which an excuse could be based would be to ad init that while we may credit the kais- CT and his war council with a degree of intelligence above that of most savages that we have read of, yet by their actions they are the most fiend- ish and cruel of all savages so that simply because of their lack of moral and humane qualities we should ex- cuse some of their barbarities where we would condemn an American, a Frenchman or an Englishman.
 The German government and Ger man acts instigated by that govern
 
 Sed our government to an extent which we may not fully know until the war is over. There is no doubt but President Wilson has kept back some of the worst features of the con- ditions presented to him in order to influence public opinion and when he at last decided to give MT. Bernstorff his passports it was simply because the situation became intolerable, ana could be endured no longer. The South firing on Fort Sumter was a small matter compared with the in juries and insults of the Imperial German government, so let us as a people if the Germans persist in bring ing war upon us resist and defend our selves to the utmost of our power, counting neither sacrifices nor hard ships which we may have to endure too great in order not only that we may be victorious but what is of far greater moment that the nations of the world may be enabled to enter into a real league of peace with such restrictions as shall prevent any na- tion from preparing for forty years to subjugate, destroy or annihilate other nations of the earth whoeunder God are carving out for themselves a place in the sun to which they are better entitled because of what they have done for humanity than the Huns who are trying to destroy them.

CHANGE TO CLEAR IT UP.

Somehow or other there appears to be a difference between the statement which is set forth from Berlin to the effect that this country has placed nm interpretation upon the German note which was not intended by the German government, and the declara- tinn upon the part of Ambassador Bernstorn that there was nothing else for this country to do, that it was what was expected by his govern ment which would not be surprised because 1t had anticipated just such action and had counted the cost of the course it was pursuing.
 There can be no question however but what Germany had realized that this country would do just what it has done. It may have anticipated of notes, or it may have considered that this country. on the strength of the stand which had been taken by Germany, would make a greater eff fort % bring about a stronger move ment fin behalf of peace, but 1t is un- reasonable to claim that this country has wrongly interpreted the course which Germany has taken. The fact that it had counted the cost of the Htep it was taking is sufficient to force the belief that this government LClGWGQ LuC 1OS1Cd4 A4u0 OL TG6SOn1uS. If 1t had desired to prevent such an Interpretation it should have made it. self clear beyond a doubt upon that point.
 If, however, a misunderstanding has brought about the existing situa- ton, it will be interesting to note whether any attempt Is made to clear It mp on the part of Austria which has not as yet endorsed the German communication. It has the chance to make clear just what Germany in- tended to convey by it's note, if in fact there has been g. misinterpreta-

try for the release of the American
 sailors who had been taken off the vessels captured or sunk by the raid CT and since taken to Germany and held at prisoners. That Germany should do this there could be no ques- ton. but it was impossible to tell what attitude 1t might take in view of subsequent events. Its favorable action, promptly taken. is therefore most gratifying.
 At the same time added relief was given to the tension which appeared so strained when the first report was received in connection with the sink ing of the American steamer Housa- tonic, by the report from Consul Ste phens to the effect that it had not been sunk without warning. Instead of pursuing policy of ruthlessness in connection with this ship it ap- pears that the commander of the submarine had warned the ships cap- tain an hour in advance of the sink ing. that the ship carried contraband and that the crew was not only given an opportunity to get away in safety but was lowed for an hour and a half towards shore before being cast loose to shift for themselves. All of this operates to the credit of Ger many thus far and it is to be hoped that there will be nothing nearer the commission of an overt act.

CANNOT BE TOLERATED.

There ought to be no question but what the orders which are transmit Led to the various departments of the government are to be obeyed by the Dd1ciaIs in charge. If there is it ought to be cleared up speedily. Attention ls directed to this situation by the notification which has been given to mnd postroads by the postoff1ce de- partment to the effect that if the ap- proprfation planned against the de- parfmentss wishes for the mainte- nance of the tube service in the large renfers is voted 1t will not be devoted 10 the use intended. but will be di- Rerted to other channels.
 Such insurbordination cannot be tolerated. The department has not favored the tube service. and in fact has done everything possible to de- feat 1t. It is to be supposed that in It's desperation it is now attempting to frfghten the senate committee and possibly congress into taking action according to it's desires but it will never do for congress to submit to Mnch control
 With the postal service demanding che retention of the tubes for the muiclzer and better delivery of the mail. with a recognition on the part of congress that satisfactory service requires such maintenances it be- Ncoves the lawmakers to see that what Is demanded is not only pro- wided for but that the postohice de- partnnent be specially directed to car rw 1t out. Departments can make Recommendations but when 1t comes Ito deciding what shall and what shall mot be done. the baking department should be made to know that con- m~Ass has powers.

CAN GERMANY DO ANY MoRE7

In connection with the effort on the part of Germany to keep all ship ping from British, French, Italian and Russian ports, it is endeavoring to set up a blockade which Is not a blockade. It tried to impress upon the neutra1s that they should give up their rights and abandon their com merce with these countries and therefore assist Germany in main taining such a blockade as it is un- able to support in any other way. And it does this thing through threats of destruction.
 Germany intends to utilize subma- rnes in greater numbers and to scat ter mines throughout the war zone which will endanger any and all ves- sels which attempt to carry on the trade which they are entitled to en- gage in but which Germany wants and hopes to check.
 For long time Germany has been using its submarines effectively. In most instances it has kept within its rights, for there is no denying that it has a right to capture merchant men under certain conditions, or even to set up a blockade the same as Great Britain has done to it. By it's torpedoes and mines it has already sent a large amount of shipping to the bottom Last January and Feb ruary it disposed of vessels totaling 2S8, ,500 tons. The total in March was POI. .00o, in April 225, 900. in May 11s,- 900 and in August 20s.000. and there has been an increase in its activity in the past few months. The question now arises whether. with the in creased efforts which will be put in to effect to combat it's operations, it will be able to do any more than it has in the past. Opinions of course will vary and the answer remains for the future to disclose.

MUST LOOK AFTER OUR INTER
 ESTS

If this end of Connecticut is going to receive the attention that it de- serves from the legislature. 1t be- hooves it to manifest the real inter est which it feels in the various prop ositions which it wants to see fa- vorable or unfavorable action taken upon. It cannot expect to lay back and take things easy and expect that the minds of this part of the state are going to be read and the good or the bad points of any particular bill unless the people display some activ- ity themselves.
 It is but proper that we should ex- pect our representatives and senators to carry on the work for which they were elected, but the need and value of giving them proper support should not be overlooked.
 This county is interested in two important bridge propositions, that which has to do with the taking over of the New Haven railroad bridge be- making a highway toll bridge of it when the railroad has finished and put into use its new structure at that point, and the proposition for bridge over the Mantle river which has been called for by the war de- partment. Some action ought to be taken by the present general assem- ply upon these matters. The hear ings are to be held today and it ought to be shown to the committee that these matters are worthy of approval for if they are properly and fully pre- scented it is believed that the wisdom of making provision for them will not only be recognized but the necessary favorable action taken.
