When I dwell on the ease with
which disease germs are conveyed
in the blood stream from infected
teeth or gums or tonsils directly to
the lining Of the heart, and the in
sidiousness of the damaging infiam-
nation they set up there. with the
permanent valvular leakage which
often, not always, follows. ! do not
mean to suggest that heart disease
or valvular leakage thus produced
is . hopeless matter or that it is al
ways a permanent condition. A
considerable number of such cases
proceed Ito complete recovery in
time, SO that the heart Is as COM
1etent rs a heart may be.
z Often the question arises, when a
patient has one or more teeth
known to be infected at the roots.
or one or more tonsils known to
be infected or diseased mot Just en-
larged). whether it is advisable to
have them out, whether an incip-
lent heart disease dependent on
such septic focus or foci is likely
to be benefited by removal Of the
focus or foci, or whether it is safe
for the patient with established
heart disease to have the tonsils
removed or a number OF teeth ex-
tracted.
Well, nobody knows whether the
infected teeth or the infected tom
sils are actually causing the heart
trouble-or the joint trouble OF
whatever the systemic condition
may be. 1t is strictly a question
of the physicians opinion, and moi
susceptible Of any proof, save that
Of the therapeutic test. Remove the
teeth or the tonsils, and see wheth.
er improvement follows; or, if you
are not sport enough to do that
then keep your i'll teeth and tonsil:
and let nature do his worst. Hell
do it, the old charlatan.
Some there be, crabs, cranks

The loss Of teeth is a differen

$40 pounds of mix fed over a period
of 60 days.
The milk from fresh cows. before it
has become fit for human use, can he
fed to the calves.
Start Grain Feeding Early
Where such relatively small
amount of whole milk is fed it is
necessary that the calf should be
Taught to eat grain as early as posi-
bic. BY the second week calf will
ordinarily start nibbling at the grain
eating increasing amounts as it de-
| velops taste for it. During the first
80 days healthy calf will ordinarily
eat an average of 0.3 pound of grain
per day. During the next 80 days
TINS Will be increased to 1 pound, and
after that to about 2.5 pounds daily
during the next month or so.
The following grain mixture has
given good results for calf feeding:
Linseed meal, ! part; bran, 1 part;
corn meal, 3 parts; oats, parts;
blood meal, l part.
Some good legume roughage, such
as alfalfa, should be fed with the
grain, and also a small amount of
silage; and as more roughage is taken
by the calf, the grain ration may be
cut down In feeding grain tho ca fact
rule is to supply only what the calf
will clean up readily. Remember
there is more danger of losing a calf
from feeding too much than from
not feeding quite enough. The calf
does not have to be fat to be growing
and healthy, and it has been found
that some Of the larger breeders, who
have been most successful in saving
their calves, have been keeping them
In medium to thin condition.

julius Caesar and Caligul4 also
considered the construction OF a
waterway but 1t was not until the
time Of Nero that the first actual
attempt was made. The difficulties
proved far greater than were expect
ed, and at Nero's death the work
was abandoned. In 1881 a French
engineering company was awarded a
contract to complete the work but IL
was not finished until 1893 when

The Canal is seventy feet wide

Culebra Cut in Panama. 1t is with
out locks, being a sea level canal
throughout.

Owing to the difference in heights
of the tides on the opposite sides Of
the Corinthian peninsula, the cur
rent through the canal is usually
very swift. For this reason it is
rather dangerous for light craft,
and therefore seldom used by any,
except narrow ships with powerful
engines.

DON'T WASTE MILK
Down THROAT OF CALF
About 500 Pounds Of Milk, With
Other Feeds, Will Raise the
Young Animal.

Feed only small amounts Of milk
for the first few feeds.
4 Do not overfeed. Scours, stunted
calves, and deaths are caused largely
by overlooking. A pint of milk
weighs a pound. Measure or weigh
the milk for each calf. Do not guess
at it.
Feed regularly twice a day.
Have the milk warm, sweet, and
fresh. If the milk is poor in quality,
feed less of it, not more.
Feed grain and milk from clean
boxes and buckets. Buckets should
be washed and scalded every morning.
! What is the least amount of whole
milk / can feed to my calves, and
still raise good animals? That is
a big question with farmers to-day,
especially in those sections where
milk is sold as market milk. say dairy
specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. Milk
worth 10 cents a quart disappearing
down calf's throat has caused many
dairyman to stop and think very
seriously: Does it pay?
To make it profitable. it is impor-
tant not only that more economical
system of feeding and raising calves
be followed but that animals of bet
ter breeding be raised.
How Much Whole Milk per Calf?
In planning an economical ration
the amount of whole milk included is
of great Importance, and the smaller
the amount that can be fed and still
raise good animals the cheaper will be
the ration. Roughly speaking, an ordi-
on about go to 500 pounds of whole
milk, fed along with other feeds. For
the first day or two, of course. the
calf is left with the dam, but from
then on until the end of 10 days it
should receive about l pound Of milk
for every 10 pounds of weight at
birth. After that time the milk may
be gradually reduced until at the
end of 60 to 80 days approximately
800 pounds of milk has been fed.
Suppose. for instance, that a calf
weighs SO pounds at birth. Accord
ing to the feeding schedule it would
receive about pounds of whole milk
daily for the first 10 days. During
the next 20 days it would receive. say
4 pounds daily; during the following
20 days, 3 pounds; and for the last
80 days, pounds; making a total
of 270 pounds of whole milk.
For 100 pound calf the quantity
of whole milk might be cut down
more rapidly after the first 10 days,
feeding 10 pounds a day for the first
10 days; pounds for the second 10
days; pounds for the third Today
period, pounds for the fourth 10
day period; and 2 pounds for the 20
