WAS FIRST CIVIL MARRIAGE
ma White in 1921 Set a Precedent
in New World.

May II. 1921. the first English mar
rage in New England was performed.
The principals were two Of the May
flower passengers. The bride was
Susanna White and the groom was
Edward Winslow.
Both contracting parties had been
recently bereayed. Susanna came to
Plymouth al the wife of William
White. He was one of the Pilgrims
who died the first winter.
A month after Susanna White was
left a widow Edward Winslow lost
his young wife, Elizabeth, whom he
had married about two years before
the great voyage. The marriage of
the Widow White and the Whoever
Winslow occurred less than two
months after Whites death.
1t was probably the first civil mar
riage in the New World. says the New
York Herald. Governor Bradford vas
in favor Of the civil marriage. 1t was
thought, he wrote in his history, most
requisite to be performed by the magis-
llute, us DeluS u CIVIL tlllS, upou
which many questions about inheri-
tances doe depende, with other things
most proper to their cognizans, and
most consonante to the scripturs, Ruth
4, and no wher found in the gospel
to be layed On the ministers as a part
of their Office"
The matter of civil marriages
played a painful part in Winslow's
life 10 years later, when, as governor
OF the colony, he went to England to
plead Plymouth's cause. For preach
ing and for performing civil marriages
he was kept in prison four months, he
having stOutly maintained, against the
archbishop of Canterbury, that he
found nowhere in the Word of God
that marriage VAS tyed to minlstrie."
Two children were born to the prin-
cipals of his first marriage in the
New World, and one of these Josiah
Winslow, became almost as famous
as his father, being elected governor
of Plymouth colony a few years after
his fathers death.

there until February 20, 1913. Later
he attended the First corps school mt

to Grand Rapids, he was elected a

that time. Before entering the service
he was a real estate and insurance

Thrown Ashore Almost Naked.

Two men of the Chanticleer, a Brit
ish vessel, found themselves the sole
survivors of the crew of the boat their
skipper had sent ashore on the Pata-
CONAN coast. A gale had suddenly
sprung up, and when returning to the
vessel the small craft had stove in her
bottom on Il rock. The pair were
thrown ashore In an almost naked con-
ditlon, and to increase their disaster
snow began to fall heavily. The she'll
fish found on the shore was their only
food. A heap of branches built like
a lean-to against the face Of the cliff,
and covered with earth thrown up by
their hands, formed their only shelter.
Death stared them In the face, and at
last each made the other promise that
in the event of n dying the survivor
would not become a cannibal. Two
days after the gale abated Il lookout
on board ii. NJ. S. Shearwater, then
proceeding to Esquimalt and the North
Pacific station, caught a glimpse Of
them, and they were saved.

Historic Order Revived.

The historic Order of the Sun, Gre
ated AS IAN eternal institution by
Gen. Jose de San Martin during the
aristocratic regime Of early Peruvian
Independence, has been revived under
supreme decree. Gen. Simon Bolivar,
II of the liberators of Peru, abolished
The order in 1929 on the ground that it
did not conform with the basis of
the political constitution of the re-
public"
Membership in the order, says the
decree just issued, may be granted

Several articles of the Order of the
Sun are said to be identical to those
of the Order of the Cincinnati in the
United States.

Truth About Whales,

A member of the Brooklyn Insti-
tute museum, Brooklyn, N. Y, who
has made a special study of whales
in Newfoundland, states that the av-
erage length of a full-grown sulphur
bottom whale is just under 80 feet.
This estimate disregards the exagger-
ated reports sometimes spread by sail
ors, and is based on actual measure
ments of many individual specimens.
There seems to be creditable accounts
Of whales reaching a length Of from
IS to 95 feet. but this authority did
not see any of that size. Whales ap-
pear to grow with great rapidly, the
length Of "~yearlings" being estimated
at from 30 to IS feet.-Christian Sci

preferable for the first two weeks,
after which skim milk may be substi-
tuted, commencing with pound a
day and increasing to two or four
pounds, depending on the vigor of the
calf. No more skim milk should be
In most cases at the end OF the third
week the ration should be approx
mately one-half whole and one-half
separate milk.
At the beginning Of the fourth week
from one-half to three-fourths of the
ration should be separated milk. Dur
ing the week the change should be con
tinued until by the beginning OF the
fifth week only separated milk is fed.
In specially vigorous calves the change
may be made a week earlier. After
this time separated milk may be fed
entirely, unless the calf is very deli
cate. The quantity fed can be gradu-
ally increased until 10 to 20 pounds
a day are given. II milk is very plen-
tiful, more may be fed. but otherwise
II will not be found economical.
The time that milk should be dis
continued depends upon Its cost IN re-
lation to the value OF the calf. its
breed. size, vigor. etc. The season in
which II reaches the age of six months.
and the other feeds available at that
time, must also be taken into consid-
Grafton. Six months lie probably a good
average age at which to wean calves
from milk. Where there is plenty Of
skim milk available this time may be
heightened. When the best of hay and
silage and a good variety Of grains are
available, the calf may be weaned ear
lier than when such feeds are lacking.
The season Of good. ~succulent pastur-
age presents the best possible condi-
ton for weaving the calf.

How Tastes Differ.

That we do not a as heartily as we
did a few centuries ago, is proved by
reading old menus. In the Fifteenth
century. and In England and CONT.
mental Europe, such meats as crane,
heron, peacock, seal, swan, porpoise
and whale were, If not everyday dish
es, at least common In their appear
ance on the tables of men, and by the
prosperous and rich 1t a not con-
sidered a great extravaganza to serve
the tongues Of larks and peacocks.
1t is a curious thing, or at least II
must seem curious TO some that the
Tuscans, while rejecting mutton as
food. will eat heartily Of hedgehog.
They may have flocks Of sheep. but
they do not eat them. They will eat
the flesh Of their herds Of cattle, but
they prefer, 1t is said. the flesh Of
oxen that have worked hard.

DAIRY
BEST development OF CALF
Good Supply Of Milk or Skim Milk
Most Important-Quantity De-
ponds on Size and Age.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrculture.)
No part of dairy farming is more es-
sential than the proper feeding Of
young calves. Likewise nothing is
more important for the best develop
ment of calves than a good supply Of
milk and skim milk in the ration. In
the past few years the surplus of these
products has been utilized as human
food in the form of condensed and
powdered milk and skim milk. Re
ports recently received by the United
States Department of Agriculture, how
ever, point to a temporary surplus OF
these products during the flush season,
due to decreased export outlet. Un-
til this situation is adjusted, it would
seem advisable to utilize the surplus
milk and skim milk as feed for live
stock.
In raising dairy calves most dairy
men prefer that the calf remain with
the COW for the first As hours. II 1t
is taken away then the COW will be
less nervous when she begins to be
MIXED again for commercial purposes
than If they are allowed to run to-
eether for a long period.
1t is desirable that the calf be In a
thrifty, vigorous condition when 1t is
taught to drink. Ii may be left with
out food for u hours, at the end of
which time it will be hungry, and with
a little teaching will usually drink
milk from the pail. Warm, fresh milk
from the mother should be put In a
clean pail and held neal the floor In
front Of the calf, which will generally
begin to nose about the pail. Once 1t
gets a taste of milk, it will usually
drink without further trouble. Some
times, however. more vigorous meas
ures must be taken.
The quantity of milk fed to a calf
depends upon its size and age, and to
some extent ON the kind and condition
of the feed, but experiments by the
Department of Agriculture indicate
that about one pound a day should
be fed for every ten pounds weight of
the calf at birth. Many beginners
make the mistake of letting the calf
have as much milk as it wants. This
would be all right If the calf were fed
every two or three hours, as when 1t
runs with the COW, but as it Is i'm
practicable ordinarily TO feed more
than two or TREE times a day, il Is
best TO keep the quantity well below
the capacity of the calf and not risk
overlooking.
For the first four days milk from the
dam should be fed. After this the
milk may be from any COW or COWS in
