This dis sult of disturbance of the digestive ap- paratus of the calf and may be caused in a number of ways, the more impor-/ tant of which are the following: Ir- regular feeding, overfeeding, sudden change of feed, fermented feeds, feed ing dirty or sour milk or milk of dis- eased cows, the use of dirty milk pails or feed boxes, and damp, dirty stables. As is discovered it is best to separate the affected calf from the others and carefully disinfect the pen. The feed should be reduced im- mediately at least one-half, milk pails cleaned and sterilized, feed boxes cleaned and disinfected, and any other mentioned above eliminated. Treating Disease.

The dreary days of winter cause many to reflect on how much more beautiful they could have made their grounds the past summer, and already plans are being laid for landscaping the coming spring. All landscape gardening should ex- press some thought or feeling and a deep study of the site and surround- foundation the theme should be built. If for a home place for a man well along in years, retired from business, it should have an air of quietness, se- clusion and retirement, This concep- tion would be most easily realized on a country place of some acres and would more closely conform to nature han any other type. Fortunately this would wreak few changes in the na- tural aspect and would closely ap- proach the ideal in landscape or na- tural gardening as distinguished from other and more formal or picturesque styles. Landscapes may also be bold or gay, or even florid—perhaps lurid, says a landscape gardener; but when they get to be too bizarre it passes out of the realm of landscape gardening, which is to either build close to nature or merely assist nature in touching up bare spots or insuflicient and unsatis- factory effects in the existing wildness. When the process is finished it should perfect picture, The true test is: Will the artist come to paint or to photograph? For, insof: as you attract or repel him, just t that degree have you succeeded ox failed. Harmony must also be’ the keynote, a picture is not composed of a collection of interesting objects or features except these are in harmony.
