Dee-, Kot Favor Pastur ing Animals Duri.-,;: First Summer on Accci'r.i of Flics. The Maine Farmer thus reports the address of Prof. R. W. Redman given on thc Farming Si ccial trip, on the subject cf the dairy calf: His sug gestions were the results of the best practical experience along that line. Afior some preliminary remarks a!or.g the line of selection of the cow and the use of a pure-bred bull, in which he emphasized the quite generally ac cepted assertion th^t tte sire is half the breed, he spoke particularly of the treatment of the cow before calv ing. She should rest a few weeks and should be fed well but not high, and should have some succulent feed. She should have good care and attention and will respond with better offspring. Ke suggested the following treat ment of the calf: Leave it with the dam a few days and then take lt away and teach lt to drink. A clean pail shouid be used and the milk should always be thc same tempera ture. After a few dnys of whole milk, the use of skimmllk may be corn Comfortable Calf Stanchion. menced, with some substitutes for the fat which is taken out in the cream. The feeding of grain and clover hay may be commenced and gradually increased as the calf is able to assimilate it. Professor Redman said that the calf should be kept growing and not al lowed to get a setback at any time, for it might never fully recover fror it and would not be likely to m?ke the high quality cow that it ott ,r wise would. Professor Redman did not favor pas turing the calves during the first sum oner, but rather keeping them Inside and away from the annoying flies dur ing the warm days, for often they lose more in fighting flies than they gain by the open air and pasturing. They might be turned out imo a pen at sight. CARE OF THE YOUNG CALVES Especially Susceptible to Ravages of Flies and Should Be Kept In Barn-Good Repellent. (By W. W. KIMBALL.) The young calves are especially susceptible to the ravages of flies and it will seldom prove profitable to al low them out of the barn except for exercise during the night when the files will not prove troublesome. There are numerous remedies that may be used as fly repellents but the following formula recommended by Doctor Moore has given excellent sat isfaction wherever used and where many of the expenuive preparations have failed to perform what th*ir manufacturers claimed for them. Fish oil . 100 parts Oil of tar. 50 parts Crude carbolic acid. 1 part The cost of the mixturo is about 30 cents a gallon and it may be ap plied with a hand sprayer every two days. Some prefer applying the mis turc? once a day, using lighter appli cations. Loads of clover and other forage hauled to the stable every two or threo days will keep tho calves and cows in excellent condition and the manure thus made will nearly pay for tho increased labor required in cut ting and hauling. WI'en wo consider the relationship between the comfort of the cows and calves and the amount of milk and growth wr can hardly fail to see that we shouh do all in our power to Im prove their condition in fly time. Learning Dairy Business. The mar. who imagines he knows all there is to know about dairying without attending tho short courses for dairying at tho agricultural col leges or without reading a reliable farm paper ls making a great mistake because no one man can hold all there ls to know about the dalry busi ness. Temperature of Dairy. Bacteria do not thrive in the cold, but in heat only. If you keep your milk below 40 degrees the bacteria will have small chance. The dairy cannot be managed just right without the use of a thermome ter-and it must be a good one, no 25 cent affair. roved farms. Money on de i Augusta. aS o. dela)*.

If gamblers agreed to cheat there wouid be no more cheating. In things where the heart is not, the hand is never powerful. Proof of inherent narrow-minded ness: love for narrow-minded people. I am of those who think that the best way to see the world is to see lt through the great poems. Only the fact of our life makes us think. The rest of thought is philos ophy-a bole made v 1th a corkscrew in a cloud. When superior men are mistaken. they are superior In that as in all else. They see more falsoly than small or mediocre minds. The trouble and fear that the force of sheer affirmation produces la not enough known. All the evil done of Journalism oomes of knowing how to affirm. Man is so profoundly vile that he makes acts which he does not under stand villainous, because only In thab way is he sure of understanding them. To know tba* one la a force to a consolation for many things that are cruel and bitter in life. Self-con sciousness ls worth more than glory. I know nothing similar to Boothe a destiny. In the. dayB when wars were be tween prince and prince, nations paid less of the expenses. At present the masses must intervene in affairs and with that system frightful destruc tions happen. RAM'S HORN BROWN. No man's life can be right whose habits are wrong. A man feels most like an angel just after a good' dinner. If you take a single step with the devil you are in for a long walk. More battles have been lost by de lay than by poor fighting or lack of courage. Many a man would be a big gun If he didn't sliver up Into BO many toy pistols. If you don't want your head to look like a peanut after a while, son, put something into it now. The country that is able to pay billions for battleships doesn't need the help of whisky money. Many a promising career has been nipped in the bud by too little sleep at night and too much in the morning. In spite of what Solomon said, there are a good many folks who keep on trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Some of the men who are always having their shoes shined never *>eem to think lt worth while to shine up their faces. If want to get on In the world, young man, keep out of debt, but al so keep your pantaloons from bagging at the knee. The man who does his work in the best possible way, walks with God in the doing of lt, whether he shoes horses or preaches. TART STATEMENTS Fortune won't smile on you unless you meet her half way. When some people drop a hint lt Bounds like an explosion. It doesn't require an earthquake to shake our faith in some people. Of all human virtues the world la apt to regard success as the greatest. The people who pose aa martyr? seem to get a lot of satisfaction out of it. There is always a certain amount of coolness between the iceman and his customers. Any lawyer will tell you that some people hate to tak? advice even when they pay for lt It is possible for a woman's head to be turned by flattery, even when she has a stiff neck. DUST BY THE WAYSIDE. After the office seekB the man lt sometimes wonders why it went so far for so little. The man that holds the dollar until the eagle screams ls never arrested for disturbing the peace. Many a man gets safe in ofHce, then slams tho door and builds a fire under the voters when they try to slide down tlie chimney.
