Feeding for Veal

The calf which is to be fed for veal
should be given all Of the fresh whole
milk that it will take, II first class
animal Is to be produced. With dairy
calves the calf is usually taught to
drink from pail. Generally from
eight to twelve pounds of milk twice
daily will be sufficient. This amount
may be increased slightly as the calf
becomes developed. If the calf Is to
be of finest quality it should not re-
ceive other than whole milk.

When Sheep Eat Wool

Did you ever find that your sheep
eat wool? Not very long ago farmer
found that number Of his sheep died.
So he examined one of them and
found wool in its digestive organs.
The sheep ate wool because the ra-
lions fed were lacking in certain ele-
ments. A mixture, made as follows,
solved the problem: Mix 10 pounds Of
common salt, 2h pounds of steamed
bone meal, III pounds Of air-slaked
lime and " pound of iron sulphate.
Keep this mixture before the sheep in
boxes.

Odd Work of Machines

American industries use many odd
machines in the production Of their
commodities, but perhaps the oldest
are the machines for testing the power
of adhesive tape, the reformation Of
golf balls under driving stress, the
strength Of casket handles and the
tractive efforts of elephants.

tory, through all these years there has
been no let-up in the number Of books,
magazine and newspaper articles and
stray bits of information which have
been presented to public, apparently
always eager for more light upon the
personality and career of this simple
Illinois backwoodsman who rose to a
position of world Importance. In fact
the mass of new information about
Lincoln seems to grow instead of d.
minish as time passes and, If 1925 is
any criterion, the year 1927 will see
an even greater amount of Lincolniana
added to our national history.
In the past few years iconoclasts
have been busy turning the search
light upon the lives of our great with
the professed desire to "tell the VIII" lie
truth" about them, including those
"truths" which will show that they
were much less great than popular
opinion has believed them to have
been. Through all this idol-shattering,
the great figure Of Lincoln has stood
virtually untouched, the stature Of his
greatness undiminished. Apparently
any new truths about him which
may be revealed by the historians can
not change in the least, either, the ver-
dict of history upon him. Least of
all can they change the love for him
Of the common people, whom, as he
once said, "the Lord must love, be-
cause he made so many of them"
The accessories to the Lincolniana
of 1926 proved again that the amount
Of new material, In the sense that it
Is not widely known, about him Is
seemingly inexhaustible Outstanding
among them, perhaps, were Carl Sand
burg's two-volume study of abraham
Lincoln: the Prairie Years." and the
publication Of the further researches
Of the indefatigable Rev. William e.
Barton, whose two-volume life of
Abraham Lincoln" Of 1925. was his
third important contribution to fresh
biographical material. Incidentally, 1t
might be added that one photography
Of Lincoln material lists some $3.50
books and pamphlets!
Sandburg's biography, which is
wholly devoted to showing Lincoln In
his times before he went to the White
House, is perhaps as understanding
one as has ever been written, be-
cause, as another man of their tvpe,
the late Stuart Sherman, In writing a
review Of Sandburg's work, pointed
out, 'they are good companions, the

Demand for the Release
of Sacco and Vanzetti
BY ]. LOUIS ENGDAHL.

vanzetti Defense Committee Of
Boston, Mass, announces that this
historic case has apparently
reached its last chance in the
courts of Massachusetts,. These
two men were convicted in 1921 Of
the murder of Frederic Parmenter
and Alessandro Berardelh at
South Braintree, Mass, in 1920,
and the stealing of the Slater &
Morrill, Shoe Company payroll Of
more than $4,000.
On an appeal the state supreme
court denied the motion for new
trial. Then Celestino Madeiros,
also convicted of murder, confessed
in Dedham Jail that he was at
South Braintree on the day of the
hold-up. there, one Of the active
participants, and that Sacco and
Yanzetti were not there.
On the affidavit of Medeiros,
supported by others, the attorneys
on behalf of the two workers, Sac
co and Vanzetti, presented another
motion for new trial, this time
on the ground Of newly discovered
evidence. The servile lackey of
the shoe and textile interests of
New England, Judge Thayer, de-
MED that motion and the case
again went to the state supreme
court. Another hearing has been
held. The whole revealing story of
the efforts eXerted by the United
States government to take the lives
Ct these two Italian workers was
again told, with the additional
facts that had come to light. The
decision Of the state supreme court
has not yet been rendered. The
pressing of the demand for the
congressional investigation, if sup
ported by sufficient numbers of
workers, will have a definite and
favorable effect on the decisive
court at Boston. 1t has been said
that "the supreme court watches
