BEST PLAN TO RAISE CALVES
Minnesota Idea is to Give YOUNGSTERS
Good Start and Then Feed
Hay and Grain.

The milk of 45 out of every 100
cows kept In the United States is sold
as whole milk. Owners of the herds
where milk is marketed in this way
have a serious problem in raising the
necessary number of calves to main
tain their herds. If no calves are
raised and the farmer depends upon
buying what he needs there is con-
slant danger of disease and his herd
seldom improves from year to year.
When raising calves under these con-
ditions some milk must be used, as
there is no substitute for it.
Experiments in progress at the Min
nesota experiment station show that
the best plan go far worked out Is to
give the calves good start with milk
and then get them on grain and hay
as soon as possible. The plan sug-
gested is to feed milk in the usual
way to the age of about fifty days,
then If the calf is strong and vigor-
GUS gradually reduce the amount un-
til none is fed after the calf Is sixty
to sixty-five days old.
Alfalfa or clover hay and grain
mixture of cornmeal four parts, bran
one part and oilmeal one part is kept
before the calves. They will begin
eating grain and hay when about
month old and will gradually increase
the amount until at the time the milk
feeding ceases at sixty to sixty-five
days Of age they are able to get along
very nicely without milk.
Calves handled in this manner will
be somewhat checked in growth for
short time after the milk is taken
from the ration, but will be In as good
condition as the calf raised on skim

OBJECTED TO BEING BRolLED
Lobster's Emphatic Views on the Sub
ject Led to Change of Menu
in Household.

A friend of mine is very fond of
lobster, but, like many men, has no
idea how such food is prepared. His
wife had occasion to be absent from
home one day last week and she told
the servant girl to broil lobster for
my friends dinner She left note,
telling her husband of the treat she
had provided for him and requesting
him not to wait dinner for her. He
was quite hungry when he reached
home and. after reading the note, said
to the servant:
SIS that lobster ready?"
"No, sir, it isn't said the girl.
swell, hurry up with it. I'm as
hungry as bear,v said he.
II can't, sir" said the girl. 1.-THE
mistress said to broil the lobster, and
/ got him on the gridiron, after a
deal Of fuss. The more / poked the
fire the more he walked off, and /
thought the haste was haunted and
no good would come from cooking a
straddle bug like that"
"What did you do with it," said my
friend, getting mad.
"Faith, the last I saw of him he
was going out the back door with his
tail up, like the maniac he was"
He had sardines for dinner.-Judge.

REGULAR PERIODS or FAMINE
Every Seven Years Starvation Threat
ems Indians and EsI<imos in the
Canadian North.

Every seven years starvation stalks
In the Northland. The snowshoe rab-
bits die. And just as surely as they
die. SO do the Eskimo and the Indian
OF northern Canada.
1t was In one of these fatal years
that Alanson Skinner, curator of the
Milwaukee museum, entered the Hud-
son Bay country on an exploration trip
for the American Museum of Natural
History, the Milwaukee Journal re-
ports.
Arriving at Moose Factory, he was
surprised at the stories he heard.
Every hunter and every trapper from
the wilds brought them back.
The natives were dying by hundreds,
literally starving to death. 1t was a
case Of the survival of the fittest.
Should man turn his back upon even
his best friend for moment. he was
apt to be killed. Cannibalism was rife.
Skinner saw many gruesome sights
as he pushed on from Moose Factory
to Rupert's, the last outpost. AT one
time he sat down to eat beside a
French trapper who arrived at Ru-
pert's. He noticed that the man
watched him with strange light In
his eyes. He left the table, but on
looking back, found the mans eyes
were still fastened upon him.
what ails that fellowT he in
quired Of an Indian.
"He eat human flesh once of cousin
Frenchman and Indian guide" the ma
tive explained. "Now he crazy. Must
have more all time"
Skinner was mighty glad that he
had not encountered the crazed'
Frenchman alone on the trail, he said.

Three years ago, when sleighing
was good, / went to town with my
brother In dilapidated sleigh. We
met another brother, who lived near us.
and L told him that l would go home
with him, as he had good sleigh and
l wanted TO make sure of getting
there. We had gone only n short
distance when in ascending a hill the
sleigh broke down, letting us fall
backward, A team hitched TO bob
sled close behind nearly stepped on
us. The man in the sled brought me
home, My brother arrived home
later without accident. Did he laugh

JAP GIRLS EAGER TO LEARN
So Dear to Hearts of Their
American Sisters.

Never a dance do the Japanese girls
shimmy at Never class do they
"cut" to get a hot fudge. 'Dates" are
as scarce with them as galoshes on a
summer day.
All of which was deduced from a
talk with Miss Elizabeth Ilsley,
Evanston. ILL.,, recently head of the
music department at Kobe college,
Japan.
Japanese girls are much better stu
dents than American girls" Miss his
ley said, mo discipline is needed !;
they are so eager to learn. They don't
have much fun, though, except among
themselves"
Unless girl is converted to Chris
tianity, she said, a college education
does not interfere with her marriage,
because it is already arranged by her
parents.
Japanese girls are quiet Most of
them have an earnest ambition to
come to the United States and study.
They don't want to stay. only TO learn
what they can and return TO help their
own women"
Although Miss Illsley would not say
that Japanese women are gossipS, she
admitted that they serve tea from
morning until night TO any callers that
drop in. And what is tea without COS.

Uncle Sans Auction Room.

The United States has become the
worlds auction room. Hardly a day
passes that does not see art treasures
of the old world sold on the block to
be carried to homes throughout the
United States. A great auction was re-
Gently held in New York which includ-
ed the household furniture and art OBJ
jects from some of the oldest homes In
Great Britain. A brawny young man
of Canada dressed in rough tweeds
was present at this sale and when an
English refectory table was offered
for sale he put in the first bid. Other
bidders appeared, but they did not
have a chance. The Canadian got 1t
for five hundred dollars.
He approached the table and said 4:
81 am the youngest son of the family
selling this table. l sat at it many
times as youth and it is going back
to Canada with me."-Wall Street

Fashions In Flowers.

Flowers have not always meant
beauty alone. In the days Of the
French revolution to wear or even pos
scss the prescribed fleur-de-lys meant
death. Likewise, after Waterloo and
the fall from power of the Napoleonic
regime, the violet. which had been
chosen as the emblem Of the Napol-
cons, was forced to disappear from
public view. Yet later, as times
changed, history found the Empress
Eugene wearing the violet on her
breast at ball In the Tulleries to
signify to the world that she had &C.
copied the hand of Napoleon III.
Nor have the same flowers always
found favor in the eyes Of the world.
Some flowers have their fashions, too,
as, for example, the camelia and the
once despised sunflower and marigold
1t was through Dumas that the waxen
beauty of the camelia came into gen.
eral favor. and the pre-Raphaelites re-
stored to high place the sunfower and
the marigold, the mythical goldfowcr
of the Greeks.-Exchange. .

Oldest Known Paint.

White lead is the very oldest light
colored paint of which anything is
known. 1t was mentioned by the
Greek general, Xenophon, who wrote
some 400 years b. C. It was made by
putting vinegar in jar then some
twigs to support the layers Of lead
above the vinegar. After the lead was
placed on the twigs the jar was COW
cred to keep out the dirt and buried
in stable manure. The manure fer
mented. produced gentle heat and
also carbOnic acid gas.
When the jar was opened after n
considerable period the lead would
be corrodeG under the influence OF
the heat and gas. Thus large pro-
portion of the lead would be changed
into q! fine white powder which would
be purified and used as a pigment for
