The skim milk calf hat come to stay
If en have learned by experiment and
by careful feeding that skim milk ii the
cheapest and best feed for a calf, espe
cially for the dairy calf. The greatest
trouble is the danger of over-feeding.
Most people seem to think that because
skim milk isn't very rich they must
give the ealf lots of it, so they pout
it down him by the bucket, without
stopping to think what a calf's stomach
Is like, and the result is that they soon
hare lot of "pot-bellied" calves,
writes J. L. Smith in the Kansas
Farmer.
When the calf is a few days old he is
taken away from the cow and pnt into
pen or shed to be taught how to drink
skim milk. Then the fun commences.
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 in a corner, grabs-hold of
the calf's head with both hands,
and rams it down in the milk to the
bottom of the pail. Then the calf gets
mad and bawls, and tries to get away,
gets strangled, nnd finally succeds in
spilling the milk.
It is best to have s 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 & week or
two. Then begin to gradually reduce
the whole milk and add a little skim
milk each day, until within a couple of
weeks it will be on skim milk alone.
A good substitute for the fat removed
is a little cornmcal given after drink
ing. This will also keep them from
sucking each other. Over feeding, ir
regular feeding, or feeding cold, sour
milk is apt to cause scours with the
calves.
To feed skim milk fresh from the
hand separator on the farm is the best
way, because it is always warm and
sweet. The skim milk from the cream
ery is all right, but in warm weather
it will not keep sweet very long unlets
it is sterilzed well and thoroughly
cooled when brought home.

ing hsu by means of a small door in
the front of the trough. With a tight
cover the water in the trough can have
the chill removed very easily. It is es
pecially important to have the iron
box as low down in the trough as pos
sible, so that the water at the bottom
of the trough may be warmed, as well
as that at the top. If possible let the
end compartment extend below the
main body of the trough, so that the
iron box may open into the lower part
of the trough. As the water is heated
it will rise and the colder water from
the bottom be drawn in to be heated
in its turn. E. L. Henry, in Farm and
Home.
Milk Absorbs Bad Odora.
You cannot feed moldy hay, bad
silage, musty corn fodder that has
been put into the mow when it was not
in shape to go there, and get good
milk. The use of any such materials
will get you into trouble and will of
itself prevent you from making high
grade milk. No feed that has an odor
should be permitted to remain about
the stables. You may set a vessel
filled with milk in a silo for an hour;
then, if yon take it oft and heat it,
yon can tell by the nose it has been
in the silo. At the Vermont station
we could heat the milk up to 110 de
grees and by the smell tell whether
it bad been near a hog pen or not.

AFTER coming to Redwood. Far
son Wentworth bad had to en
dure as best ha could the attention!
of several unmarried ladies of the
parish. These attentlona took ahape
on the evenintr of his arrival.
H found a beautiful table laid
n the dining-room, adorned with
precious bits of silver and china and
odorous with flowers. A particularly
beautiful vase bore a card announcing
that the supper was "the compliment
of Miss Sophronia Kesbitt." The par
son ate the supper without thought of
the donor save that it was a most deli
cate welcome, but stood aghast when
he entered his bedroom and found it
likewise adorned with flowers, the
snowy bed turned back invitingly, mon
ogrammed towels and even a befrilled
night garment conspicuous in its po
sition. The pincushion, an elaborate
affair in dotted Swiss and lace over
blue, was adorned with an inscription
in pins: "Welcome, dear brother!"
and in front of a very rampant water
color in a gilded frame over the mantel
was another card announcing that
Miss Cella Smickler had prepared this
room with her best "compliments."
Descending the stairs, he found the
small parlor or study had been like
wise furnished and adorned by Miss
Julia Bowles, from embroidered foot
rest and tidies to a lava smoking set,
which made the parson stare.
"How did she know about my after
supper cigar?" he wondered. It was
his one weakness.
Alfaretta, the middle-aged help in
the kitchen, afforded the parson no lit
tle consolation. She was evidently on
the side of celibacy, and she sniffed
contemptuously over the onslaughta ef
the three maiden ladies.
"I doubt if you can hold out, air,"
she said, grimly, a few days later.
"Miss Cely was here this morning, and
the sewing circle is going to begin on
a dozen fine shirts for yon this after
noon. You're well tekkin' care of

timation of his coming the parish
sniffed the battle from afar. There
were three maidens in Redwood eli
gible and willing to become the wife
of the new parson. By the time he ar
rived the battle was on and Redwood
was rapturous over a new sensation.
The rivalry was so open and mani
fest that the parish families began to
take sides. In the invitations to sup

The actual arena mijrhf well be said
to be the sewing society, vftiere the
rival faction met. Over thedooto fine
shirts there wss something like open
warfare, but Miss Eopbrocla created
mint mine acne mem in ise meet
ing when they were finished by mov
ing that a dozen new sheets and sets
of pillow cases be made at the next
meeting for the parsonage. Miss So
phronia's faction had been much de
pressed by the shirt movement, but
their spirits arose in this affair. Mrs.
Feter Nesbltt, her aunt, moved to In
clude another tablecloth and a dozen
napkins.
"That will shut out the Bowleses,"
she whispered to her sister-in-law.
"They are so great on table linen I
knew they were going to move a table
cloth or napkins."
It was certainly the turn of the
Bowles party to do something supe
rior. In the meantime Parson Alpheus
had spent Sunday with Judge Bowles
at Maple Side; had taken tea with Miss
Celia's aunt and attended a family din
ner at Dr. Nesbltt'a. He had gone on
his way without displaying any pref
erences; indeed, he modestly talked
to the married women and avoided fe
male society. From the three candi
dates he fairly ran, and it was said thai
Alfaretta aided and abetted him in sev
eral flights down a rear lane.
But the change from a busy city par
Uh on account of his health was try

without that constant press and hurry
of mission work, boys' clubs snd parish
Interests. He longed for it because it
had filled his days and made him sleep
from sheer weariness. lie missed
Eloise more than for ten years. Even
Alfaretta noticed It.
"You're lonesome," sbe said, tersely.
"Well, it's nateral. Why don't you go
callin' on the ladles?"
Alpheus regarded her with a frown.
"With all this commotion and talk?
Fm afraid to speak to a single woman."
Alfaretta laughed,
"They've actually bit off their own
noses," she said, sagely, "but you can
visit the sick. I hear that the Widow
Paul's little Phil is down with a fever.
I'm fixing up some Jelly now for soma
one to take down there.. The fever al
ways does bsd work in those creek bot
toms." Thus Alfsretts became an humble in
strument in the hands of Providence.
' The psrson went, not only one day, but
another, to the seversl sick souls on
the fists. And, ministering, forgot his
loneliness once more.
The sewing circle met one afternoon
at the parlors over the Sunday school
rooms. Tbey were to finish up six sets
' of ruffled Swiss curtains, deemed nec
j essary by the Bowles faction, to light
' en up the parsonage bedroom windows.
' They were" discussing whether they
might not now take up some work for
the heathen, when Miss . Sophronia
I Nesbitt came In. She seemeddeddedly
j thoughtful.
"I don't hold doing snythingfor the
heathen Just now," she said; "not nn
til we do a little for tboee kick peo
ple on the flats. They need sheets and
pillow cases and nightgowns. The
minister has been taking over the par
sonage things. There are 11 cases ol
fever and It Is certainly spreading."
"Docs your pnw think it's catch
ing?" Inquired the anxious mother.
"He says it's infectious," replied MJss
Sophy, "and Brother Wentworth has
been over there day and night, l'uw
says he's run down anyhow. Seems as
if we ought to do more."
"What can we do?" said Miss Jiilla,
in her superior way. "I'm w illing to
give money. Why not get a nurse or
two from the city and relieve us from
fueling that w are doing nothing?"
It was voted ao excellent clan. Vtrt
Miss Cells, who sat near the door, dad
a bright spot- on each cheek.
"Maybe we had better not wait,"
she said, quietly, "since things are so
bad. I'm not afraid to go."
There waa a chorus of "Ohs!" and
negatives. Only one little, weazened
woman who did not count for much
save to do a great deal on the sewing
machine, said 6he'd "go if she was
needed."
This pushed the plan about the
nurse to a head and one was to be
telegraphed for at once. But at that
moment Alfaretta burst in breath
lessly: "Excuse me, but the parson's down
fairly ravin' with fever. He's been
sick all day, but I thought he waa
just tired out. I got to have help."
"The fever!" gasped Misa Julia, re
treating hastily.
"They all huddled away Into a cor
ner, leaving the little woman and Miss
Celia in their chairs.
Alfaretta'a eyes swept the room
with a sarcasm not to be misunder
stood. "The fever, yes!" she announced,
"and he a man of Ood that went
down among 'em over there with no
thought of danger. Now he needs
help."
Miss Celia reached down her hat
from a hook behind her. The small
woman folded her work up.
"There's no need of any more," said
Miss Celia in a low tone, "we can be
gin, anyhow, and they'll telegraph for
a nurse. I'll not stand back, and Mrs.
Hodges will stay with me."
"Don't you dare got" shrieked her
aunt, "you'll bring the fever home."
"Then I won't come home," Miss
Celia said. "I'm all alone, anyhow,
and it don't matter."
She went out of the door. Alfaretta
and the small woman followed, some
what amazed at the turn matters had
tsken. At the parsonage door the
handmaiden grasped Miss Celia's
arm:
"I've made lots o' fun o you to
him," she said, hoarsely, "but I take
it back. You've got the real feeling,
you have."
Miss Celia smiled wanly.
"No, I haven't," she said. "I didn't
care a straw only to have a little fun
going on and beat the others. But
I'm not afraid."
Then she went steadily up the stair
way to the room with the blue pin
cushion and monogramed towels.

Honesty is too much talked about
aa if It were acarce in these daysThe
business principles of to-day are bet
ter, purer and more universally hon
est than they were in the days of my
boyhood. Then the motto of life ran
something like this: "All is fair in
love, war and trade." But this gener
ation has tabooed that maxim and
business methods were never better
or more reputable than they are at
thia minute.
Many immense fortunes, says
Chauncey M. Depew, In the Chicago
Chronicle, have been made by men of
thia generation who employed strictly
honest means to attain their ultimate
suceess and great wealth. Take Bes
semer as an apt illustration. He in
vented the steel which ia used so ex
tensively all over the world for car
rails and revolutionized the manufac
ture of steel, giving employment to
thousands of persons and bringing
wealth to many besides himself. He
only made $10,000,000 out of the in
vention, and I have heard people ssy
thay they thought this amount was
entirely too small a sum for the inven
tion of so wonderful an improvement.
I think myself that it was quite a re
spectable sum.
Many a man, as we all know, has
made a fortune through judicious ad
vertising. Take two men starting in
buainess at the same time; one uses
all the money he makes in living well,
and sometimes even extravagantly.
The other invests all the surplus cash
that he can lay his hands on in adver
tising here, there, everywhere that he
thinks will attract public notice. What
is the result? The man who adver
tises has crowds flocking to his shop to
see the beauties of the advertised
goods, and as the public begin to run
so they will continue from sheer force

of habit. The first shopkeeper' will
in the meantime be sitting unthought
of and .nncared for, nghast at the
crowds that daily throng the counters
of his competitor and bitterly bewail
ing the bad luck which has followed
his own venture into trade. Yet he
has no one to blame for it but himself.
Some persons might consider that
old Commodore Vanderbilt was dis
honest because he did not refund the
money which the stockholders of the
Hudson River & Harlem railroads
would have made if they had contin
ued to hold their stock after ha took
hold of the roads. But he was not.
They cheated themselves out of the
money by not being far-sighted
enough to hold on to their stock.
When the commodore had made $20,
000,000 in shipping of various sorts he
looked about for something good In
which he might Invest his capital. He
found these railroads, which were
then in a most deplorable, out-of-date
condition the stock only worth $S on
$100 and the bonds you could not sell
for love or money. But he took hold,
built new bridges, put all modern im
provements into the car service, advo
cated new signal systems, in short, he
infused new blood into the entire
service of the road at an enormous
outlay of capital and then he waited.
And all the capital came back, bring
ing much additional wealth with it.
I hare seen many men who have be
come wealthy through dishonest
methods, and my experience with
them has taught me this: That most
men who gain wealth dishonestly, if
they live long enough,' get poor again.
It is almost an invariable rule.
The mailt temptation with which
the ordinary business man of to-day is
beset is the temptation to misrepre
sent his capital or business prospects,
snd thus obtain greater credit. But
don't do it. It does not pay. The old,
old adage, "Honesty is the best poV
Icy," Is the safest motto for every
bukliiL'iis man to follow. ' And I know
what I am talking about, too.
"Be gool and, you'll be happy, but
you won't have a good time," may
sound very snmrt and elicit rounds of
applause, but It is a fallacy through
nnd through. It Is easier, much easier,
lor an honest mnn to become wealthy
than for his dishonest brother, who
may seem to pronper for a time, but,
mark my words, It la only ttmporary
success.
