GIVE HERD BULL GOOD CARE
Animal Entitled to and Needs as Much
Attention az Milking Herd
Feed Some Grain.

Cost must not play the important
part in caring for the herd bull, which
needs as much attention as does the
milking herd. When six months old
the bull calf should be separated from
the heifer calves and fed a ration that
will keep him growing rapidly. At
Ills age from four to eight pounds OF
grain daily, depending on his size, is
the amount recommended by dairy spe-
cialists of the New Jersey State
Agricultural college.
Most dairymen prefer to feed bulls
the same grain ration that is fed to
the other growing stock. But in ad-
dition, good leguminous roughage is
necessary, the amount depending ON
the size of the animal. Mature bulls
will often consume Is pounds Of hay
daily. Silage may be fed to the grow

FOUND TREASURE He SOUGHT
American Lives In History 40 Recov.
erer Of Riches Which Neptune
Had Considered His.

Just once has an American found a.
rich treasure Of silver bullion, coin,
and bars-the exploit being that of
Sir William Phips, whom most people
Will remember from Hawthorne's
stories Of grandfather's chair. Phips
was native Of Maine, a trained ma
riner, and man of mettle, who had
no intention of being a poverty-stricken
Yankee skipper, dealing in Goldfish and
molasses, all his life. In the Boston
tavern he picked up stories of rich
galleons sunk In the Caribbean, and
In voyage to Hispaniola he obtained
more direct and authentic information
of wreck few leagues north of Port
Plate. He went to London, Interested
the duke Of Albemarle and other gen.
tlemen In the venture, and outfitted a
ship.
The story Of his actual discovery Is
Us romantic as those which Poe and
Stevenson imagined. For a long time
his crew worked fruitlessly along a
reef called the Boilers, where the
wreck was supposed to lie. They were
just quitting it in despair when one
seaman espied an uncommonly fine sea
feather or marine plant under water
and bade an Indian diver obtain it.
The diver returned with tale that
the bottom was strewn with great
guns, and on descending a second time
was able to bring up pig Of silver
worth perhaps 800 pounds sterling.
Thanks be to Cod" exclaimed
Phips. 1--WE are made!"
So they were. Within a short time
they had salvaged no less than thirty
two tons of silver. Sailors were kept
busy knocking bushels of pieces of
eight out Of the limestone In which
they were incrusted. The total treasure
carried away exceeded III million dol
lars. Not only was Phips made a rich
man, able to give his daughter dowry
OF pinetree shillings equal to her
own weight, as Hawthorne relates, but
he was knighted by Charles II and
made royal governor of that demesne
which Henry Cabot Lodge now rules.
