The skimmilk calf has come to stay. Men have learned by experimlients and by careful feeding that skimmilk is the cheapest and best feed for a calf, especially for the dairy calf, says J. L. Smith in Kansas Farmer. The great est trouble is the danger of overfeed Ing. Most people seem to think that because skimmiik isn't very rich they must give the calf lots of it, so they pour it down him by the bucket with out stopping to think what a calf's stomach is like, and the result is that they soon have a lot of "potbellied" calves. When the calf is a few days old, he is aken away from the cow and put into a pen or shed to be taught how to drink skimmilk. Then the fun com mences. If the calf will not drink the milk right off and is a little stubborn. the fellow who is trying to feed him usually gets mad, jumps straddle of the calf's neck, backs him up into a corner, grabs hold of the calf's head with both hands and rams It dowu in the milk to the bottom of the pail. Then the calf gets mad and bawls and tries to get away, gets strangled and finally succeeds in spilling the milk. It is best to have a little patience with the calf and remember that it does not have very much sense at first. After it has sucked the cow two or three times it should be taken away and put in a good clean pen and fed on its mother's milk for a week or two. Then begin to gradually reduce the whole milk and add a little skimm!lk each day until within a couple of weeks it will be on skimmilk alone. A good substitute for the fat removed is a litt.e cornmeal given after drinking. This will also keep them from sucking each other. Overfeeding, irregular feeding or feeding cold, sour milk is very apt to cause scours with the calves. To feed skimmilk fresh from the hand separator on the farm is the best way, because it is always warm and sweet. The skimmilk from the cream ery Is all right, but In warm weather it will not keep sweet very long unless it is sterilized well and thoroughly cool ed when brought home. If the milk is fed with a little meal and clean bright hay, calves can be raised on skimmilk. Separa.Ing the Cream. If milk is to be used for butter mak Ing,'keep it as warm as possible and set It to rest for creaming at once, says a Pennsylvania dairyman in New England Homestead. The warmer the milk when set the more complete will be the separation of the cream from the milk at any given lower tempera ture, and the more rapidly the tempera ture falls the more rap~d will be the separation of the cream from the milk. )fflk Needs Careful Handling. I am very c ireful when milking my cows to have them clean as well as to keep my handsi and those of my hired man clean, says M. Dickinson In Amer ican Agriculturist. My stables are al ways in the best of condition. The milk is run from a hand separator di rectly into the milk cans. Each skim ming is kept separate and hauled to the creamery by Itself. A noted western man riding across the country and noticing thousands of acres of cornstalks standing in the field from which the ears had been jerked said, "The farmer is conducting the only business in the world that al lows a man to lose 45 per cent of his capital stock and at the same time to live." Out of our great. corn crop of nearly 2,000,0)0.000 bushels annually only a very small part of the fodder is turned to much account, says Kansas Farmer. At t ie very lowest estimate the stalks yielding one bushel of corn are on an average worth 10 ccats for feed, even Including the great corn re gions, a total of $200.000,000 lost. In the seuth generally little value is at tached to cornstalks as fodder. In the west many f armners let their cattle roam in the lields and pick off some leaves, eat a little of the stalk and trample the r-est down. Nearly the whole of a cornstalk exenpt a very lit tle of the thin, hard outside coating af fords nutritious fodder if it is cut at the prorper ti ne and well cured. It needs to be cut when not so green as to mold in the shocks. but not so ripe as to lose all its succulence and be come woody. Experience and observa tion will generally Indicate to every Dne the proper time for cutting it. Plant Fodder Corn. Fodder corn is a cheap and valuable food to retain the milk product during July and August, when the pastures dry up and cattle lose in flesh and milk. It may be cut up and mixed with feed, fed whole cr used as ensi lage. Every farmer keeping cattle for dairy purposes should raise a large field of it each year for summer and winter use. Sow upon good land in drills about three feet apart arnd keep g'ell cultivated. If seed corn especial ly adapted for that purpose be used, a mnuch larger yield per acre can be had than by using field corn. Thrashng Corn Fodder. Haul the shock corn to the barn and kun It through tl'e thrashing machine. This cuts and s ts the stalks nil fine, shells and separates the corn and beaks up the cobs. This process leaves the fodder in fine shape for feeding stock, as there Is no waste, and If managed so as to run It from the machine Into the barn is certainly a grat saving. DISINFECTING A SHIP. Molst Heat, a Tborough Cer=nicidnl Agent, Is Used. When the vessel has tied up to the wharf in New orleans. the first strp is the removal of the beddin;. clothing and cushions and other elo:h falrics t0 the quarantine shed. Heire they are hung on a framework cons:sting cf a series of racks suspended from a lanz ear running on a track and so arranged that when the racks are filled the whole thing may be run inside one of the three great disinfecting cylinders with which the staticn is equipped. These cylinders are enormous steel boilers fifty feet in length by eight feet in diameter and fitted inside with con tinuous coils of steam pipe. The cylin ders are covered with asbestus and swathed in felt, and when the cylinder caps are en they are airtight. When the clothing has been placed inside and the cylinders closed, dry heat Is forced through the pipes at a temperature of 180 -rees, and this is followed by moist heat ralsed to a temperature of 230 degrees. The pressure of from six to eight pounds put upon this steam heat is sufficient to force it through heavy mattresses or bundles of cloth ing. After a period wh!ch varies from thirty minutes to an hour the cylinders are opened, the racks are run out, and the rapid evaporation which follows causes the clothing to dry almost im inediately. The clothing is unharmed by this process, and the moist heat Is a thorough germicidal agent. It is an in teresting fact that if a freshly launder ed linen shirt or collar Is put into the cylinder it will emerge thoroughly moist and apparently in need of anoth er starching. The evep:at!on is s-, rap Id, however, that it is immediately re stored to its original condition, not even the gloss being removed.-Leslie's Monthly. YOKOHAMA BY NIGHT. Lantern Illumination Makes the CIty Akin to Fairyland. A row of paper lanterns in the black shadow of a wall is the first impres sion the newly arrived traveler has of Yokohama as he steps from his "a. pan" on to the wharf at night. The lanterns hang low and almcst motionless, but at the word "rlckshaw" they begin to sway, and with a silent, almost rhythmical movement they come rushing toward him. A noment later he discovers that each lantern is attached to a rickshaw, which ocers for less than half a yen an hour to con vey him anywhere his fancy may lead him. But go where he w~ll the lantern Is always there, dangling and swaying and dimly flashing. The lantern on the rickshaw is 'n characteristic detail of the night pic ture of Yokohama. It is a series of brilliant dashes of color n less. st.Irlit sky, fa'n'ned by a soft breeze whIch seems half of the sea and half of the tropics, with smilIng, doll like people gliding about everywhere It hardly seems real. It isn't fairyland exactly, beediuse fairies are not sup posed to be always as picturesque as are these Japanese. Certain it is that few things anywhere in the round world can be more beautiful than lan tern lighted Yokohama. As the occidental crosses the bridge over the canal from the foreign quar ter and, enters the native city lhe sees a bewildering maze of lights. Through out Yokohama gas lamp posts are few and far between, a fact which makes the lantern illumInation all the more conspicuous. They are not hung at reg ular heights or intervals, but make a sort of tangle of soft colored lights over the front of the buildings and even aciross the street.-New York Mail and Express. A Case of "Quits." Clerical Customer (arousing himself from a nap In a barber's chair)-AiI through. ehb? Barber-Yes, sir; quite some time ago. Clerical Customer-Indeed! Then I must have been Indulging in a quiet nap. Barber-You sur-ely have, sir. Clerical Customer-It was certainly very kind of you not to awaken me. The rest has done me good, and I am very thankful to you for- what was really a very refr-eshing sleep. Barber-Don't mention it, sir. It's only a fair return. I attended service at your church last Sunday.-Bloston Courier. Irving as a Tipper. Sir Henry Irvin's prodigality to ward servants was well ilustrated some year-s ago when he was at Blluff Point, Lake Champlain. H~e gave the driver of the break which daily ran to Au Sable Chasm $50 in two weeks and feed the other servants with like reck I nness. The guests of the hotel grew -ery indignant, because there was no getting along with the employees, who almost literally fought among them p:-lves to minister to the needs of the English actor and sadly neglected the rest of the guests.
