STORE-WINDOW CATS.

NEW YORK, December 19.-Ever
notice that very often when you've
looked into a window of a fruit shop
there's been doing cat in the pic
ture? Ever wondered why cats and
fruit shops should be usually in juxta-
position, when other shops appear to
go the ways of barter and trade
without feline assistance? Well,
here's the answer-mice. A fruiterer
explains:
"Cats? Got to have 'em. Wed al
most have to go out of business with
out the cat being part Of the stock
in trade. You see, it's this way:
Suppose we stock up a window with
a. lot Of Oregon apples-ffne. big
apples, without a flaw. Suppose then
that a mouse comes along that night
and nibbles at the apples. We never
could dispose of our fruit in that
condition, and it's the same way with
other varieties Of fruit. Mice like
'em all, and hence the cat to kill of
the unwelcome visitors"

CALF FED TO WEAVING TIME
Quite Simple Matter If Mother Has Sufficient Milk to Nourish Young
 ster Properly.

The feeding of beef calf from birth until it is weaned is very sim pie matter if it's mother gives milk enough to nourish it properly. The principal part of the calf's ration, therefore, may be cheaply and safely provided by giving it's mother the proper feeds for the production of milk. Do not feed the COW too heavily on grain soon after she has dropped the calf. While it is important that the calf have plenty of milk at all times. 1t should never have too much, especially soon after birth. The fol. lowing suggestions are designed par ticularly for select animals chosen es- peeially for breeding purposes. says the United States Department of Agri- culture.
 A calf dropped in the fall or win ter probably will do better if kept sep arated from it's mother and allowed to suck night and morning. In summer 1t should he provided with a lot for exercise and pasture in the daytime, and during the winter with q we'll bedded box stall at night. When the calf is from four to six weeks old 1t is a good plan to bring it from the lot early in the morning, allow it to suck, then take it to the pen or stall to be fed some grain. It should also be suckled at night before grain is fed, then taken out to the grass lot or be fed a little hay in the stall. To be kept contented when away from it's mother calf should run with other calves. A bull calf should be separated from the heifers at the age of three or four months. If the calf is dropped late in winter or spring it may be more convenient to allow It to run with its dam for several months on pasture.
 Since milk is natures food for the calf it would be reasonable to suppose that milk alone is sufficient feed for it. In all cases, however, it should be provided with a little grain in addition to milk If both the COW and the calf have good pasture and the COW Is giv- ing milk enough, the calf will grow to weaning age in good condition with less grain than otherwise would be needed. Frequently, however the amounts of both pasture and milk are somewhat limited. Then the feeding of more grain is absolutely essential for best results.
 When from four to six weeks old q calf may bp tauyht to eat grain This may be done by feeding 1t in a creep
