Aye C., LawelL Man, a AGENTS and SOUOTOPS Ji FARM m ORCHARD Kotes and Instructions from Agricultural Colhy and Experiment Stations of Oregon and Washington, Specially Suitable to Pacific Coast Conditions CARE OF DAIRY CALVES. Professor F. L. Kent, of the depart ment of dairying at the Oregon Agri cultural college, seta forth in care fully prepared paper the best method of caring for dairy calves. He has prepared very complete set of direc tions which should be used in guiding the dairy1"1"" n caring for his calves to the best advantage. One of the weak points of dairying ia the usually unsatisfactory condition of the growing dairy calf. The pot bellied, unthrifty calf so often met upon dairy farms is really travesty upon the industry There is no ex cuse for this. If proper methods are employed, excellent calves can be grown upon skim milk. Care, how ever, must be exercised from the time of birth; even before birth careful preparation should be made for this event. Every dairy barn should be supplied with one or more roomy, well-lighted, well-ventilated box stalls. Shortly before the cow is expected to freshen she should be placed in box stall that has previously been thor oughly cleaned. If this stall has been much used as a, hospital stall it Bhould not only be thoroughly cleaned but dis infected as well. For this purpose a two per cent solution of Creolin, or one part of corrosive sublimate to two thousand parts ot water may be usea. Use clean straw for bedding. Permit the calf to remain with its dam for about twelve house, after which take the cow to her regular stall and allow the calf to remain in the box stall for a few days if the stall be not needed for other purposes. It is considered not a good practice to allow the calf to remain with its dam longer than twelve or twenty-four hours. By leaving a calf with a heavy milking cow for alonger period than this it is liable to cause a serious shrinkage in milk production. About six hours af ter taking the cow away, milk her out clean and give the calf not to exceed three pounds of this freshly drawn milk. It is a good plan whenever practic able to milk the cow three times a day for a few days and give the calf about three pounds of the freshly drawn milk at each milking. For the first week the calf should be fed three times daily and the whole milk should be continued until the calf is three weeks old; after this substitute from one-half pint to one pint of skim milk for the whole milk. In about a week or ten days the calf should be getting all skim milk. The change should be made very gradually. Even at this age unless the calf is "very large and thrifty it should not be fed more than 10 or 12 pounds of milk daily. The skim milk should be fed at blood tem perature and sweet. Milk directly from the separator while it is yet warm is the best to feed. Feed also from perfectly clean vessels. Un clean milk pails are the skim-milk calf's greatest foe. As the calf grows and develops the milk ration may be gradually increas ed until from 12 to even 20 pounds per day may be fed. The latter quantity, however, is the maximum. In fact the calf should be watched closely and upon the very first appearance of scours or a tendency to bloating the quantity of milk should be immediate ly reduced. Keep the calf in a clean pen that Is frequently cleaned out and bedded with bright straw. A calf stanchion should be constructed so that each calf in the pen can be fastened in a sepa rate stanchion while being fed. Con struct it with a trough in front which may be utilized in feeding grain. When the calf is from two to four weeks old it will manifest a dec ire to take some solid food. Nothing is bet ter at first than equal parts of bran and whole oats. Feed a very little of this immediately after giving the milk and while the calf is still con fined in the stanchion. After a little when the calf eats the grain readily the bran may be omitted and whole oats given. This is one of the very best grain rations for calves for sev eral reasons First, oats are rich in fat, which takes the place largely of the butter fat in whole milk; the chewing of the oats assists in the de velopment of the masseter muscles; the hull of the oat stimulates the de velopments of the rumen and in a me chanical way assists in the digestion of the casein. A rack should be provided in the pen so that hay may be fed. The best cured, brightest hay should be selec ted. A mixture of clover and mead owgrasses is probably the best calf hay, but vetch and oats, or aifalfa, are also good. it is an excellent plan to supply a little kale, roots or silage. Succulent food in some form is very essential for the health and thrift of a growing calf. The method outlined is for the winter management of the calf. A spring calf sVtuld be fed in 1 the same manner, but allowed to have the free range of a nicely sodded pas ture. Shade and also an abundance of clean water should also be provider!.

By the observance of these simple rules a skim-milk calf will be a delight to behold ami the acrawney, impoverished little creatures which are so much in evidence at times will no longer mar the landscape of the modern farm. PRESERVING POSTS AND POLES By Prof. G. W. Peavy. Department at Forestry, Urvon ArlcuHurai loJlega. In the greater part of Oregon there is still such an abundant supply of timber that little thought has been given to economy in its use. The ex haustion of the timber resources of the East, together with the rapid increase in population in the Northwest, are rapidy producing conditions which will materially increase the value of all classes of wood. With the decreasing supply and increasing demand the price of the commodity must, of ne cessity, advance. Consumers of wood will naturally be forced to make use of poorer grades of material or else resort to means of prolonging the life of the stuff employed. In line with the idea of increasing the usefulness of timber by prolong ing the period of its utility, the Ore gon Agricultural college, through its department of forestry, his installed a plant for the preservative treatment of fence posts and other farm timbers hich are used in contact with the ground. The equipment consists of two galvanized iron tanks, one cyhn drical in form, 3 feet in diameter and 3) feet high, and the other rectangu lar in form, 3 feet wide, 3 feet high and 8 feet long. The smaller tank is provided with a series of steam coils of inch pipe in the bottom. This is the hot bath tank. The other is the cold bath tank. The preservative used is commercial creosote. All timbers treated are peeled and thoroughly seasoned before the pre servative is applied. Fence posts, for example, are placed in the hot bath tank, with the temperature of the creosote raised to 215 degrees Fahren heit and allowed to remain about five hours. The fluid is kept to a level which reaches just above the point where the post sets even with the sur face of the ground. At the comple tion of the hot bath the posts are placed in the cooling tank for two or three hours. In this treatment the average fence post should absorb about two quarts of the preservative. To make the reason for the applica tion of the preservative clear, it should be understood that decay is due to the action of low forms of plant life known as bacteria and fungi. Fa miliar examples of fungi are the toad stools, which grow on damp, rotten logs, and the punks or brackets which are seen on the trunks of trees in the woods. These ouside forms, however, are not the cause of the decay. They are the fruiting bodies which bear immense numbers of spores dust-like particles corresponding to the seeds of higher plants. These spores find lodgment in dead portions of a tree or in down timber, and when moisture conditions are right begin to grow. The growth of the fungus in the inter ior of the wood consists of long, thin, film-like white threads, which, by re peated branchings, eventually pene trate the entire structure of the wood. So much of the wood fiber is eaten away or changed in comosition that its strength is diminished. The tex ture becomes brittle and disconnected, and the wood is commonly spoken of as "rotten." The simplest way of prolonging the life of timber which is exposed to the attacks of fungi is through reducing the amount of moisture in the wood. It is common knowledge that green fence posts decay quickly. This is due to the fact that moisture condi tions favor the action of the fungi. Hence, as a matter of economy, posts and poles should never be placed in the ground unless they are thoroughly seasoned. However, since seasoned wood gradually absorbs moisture from the soil, some means of preventing fungus action on moist wood is desir able. That is the office performed by the liquid used in timber treating. It poisons the food supply of the bacteria and fungi which produce decay. Experts in the forest service esti mate the average life of all fence posts used in the United States to be about eight years. With proper pre servative treatment this life may be increased by fourteen years, giving a total service of twenty-two years for the treated posts. In other words, a treated post will last nearly three times as long as an untreated one. Setting a well-treated post saves the cost of setting three untreated ones as well as the price of two posts. This involves a business proposition which should be considered by the hopgrow ers and ranchers of the state. She'd Been In Europe. 'Tm afraid the ahlp might run ,ln to an lcberg.

What I tell you three times must be true, and this la the word which best expres.es the now silks dedicated to cor onation year, writes our special London correspond ent E'ghteen-carat gold, the most artlbtlc of de signs, and the finest of fiber go to the making of the multi colored .liken brocades which we shall delight to honor, and which will, no doubt, with equal fervor, delight to honor us In the coming season, which baa almost come. Simple designs In gold, some what oriental In effect are Interwoven upon foundations as soft and pliable as gauxe. yet thick and solid enough for the making of frocks unllned. In contrast to this there la a very much entangled and very elaborate pattern with flowers entwined on waving lltio of gold, and there are further conven tional and floral devices in gold and silver on dark or light foundations. The special attraction of most of the new silks Is th.tr double width, and for the contrivance of the straight, narrow frock It beseems ua to ac knowledge this gratefully. Crepe de chine Is again an established favorite. either plain or printed, or Interwoven with gold, and gold plays Its part on gause, and on grenadine, and on charnieuM. Altogether, when you come to Investigate a selection of the sllka of the hour you will cordially Indorse my verdict that sumptuous Is the one and only possible descrTptlon. What we shall do wKh these alike remains to be inn, but of course, they are primarily dedicated to tne service of the court train or tc the evening dress of our grentent demand. for we are to foot It merrily In lull. On the whole It will be an economical purchase, the gown of good silk, since It may be relied upon to outwear the gown of muslin or chiffon by at least a dozen times. A tunic and bodice of one of the brocades openltut at one ldei of the front to show an under aklrt of lace, and mnde wl:h a short- walsted bodice with a little lace about the decolletage, with sleevea and bod ice cut In kimono fashion will repre aent the moat patronized style, further elaborate possibilities being supplied by flat or round gold cords and tas sels. This reminds me of a strange coif fure which was my nelghlor at the theater the other night. This was a flatly rolled turban of hair wllh a thick gold cord resting about an Inch above the eyebrows and terminating In two tassels above the left ear. The effect was d"flnlte'y curious and al most as definitely Turkish. Fashion is hot with the Oriental ptrtt. All the bent theater cloaks are of Oriental embroidery, bordered with fur for the present and liable to be denuded of It at any moment, while much favor la still shown to ptne-pat- terned cotton as a foundation for dny blouses veiled with nlnnn. Far newer than this latter, however, are tho pat termed nlnors which are Inspired by 'he work of the Roumanians and the Russians; and for our hats and wraps we seem to have sought and found In spiration In the grat llttlu Corslrsn, for the upturned l.rlm, the rnckarle, Virt the hroidlng mantle with t's military decorations all aavor ot Napo leon. Very pretty these new coats are. too, and when diverging from the straight path they permit themselves gold, and black, and red braid, and gold buttons, and a lining of crimson. There Is a deal of crimson In the market Indeed red, white and blue are conspicuously loved, separately and together, and what could be bet ter or more suitable for the moment? An excellent dark red dress that 1 have seen designed for spring wear Is fashioned with a short bolero and narrow skirt piped oa to It well above the usual waist line, a round, turn down collar of Roumanian embroidery, very tight long sleeves cut In one with the bolero, whlrh has a vest of white muslin with a soft plnlted frill at ons side and a collarhand outlined with black satin buckled with gold In the center. A dark red Tegnl hat trimmed with a blnck cockade with a group of blue beads In the center fin ishes this most admirably, and to be worn with It has been purchased a long coat of black lined with red, with epaulettes of black braid and small gold buttons. Talking of long costs remind me of a capital specimen In raven blue sa'ln which I met yesterday. This wns cut In one with Its sleeve, the aloeves being rather wide at their base, while the trimming down the rrnter of the front was formed by sqi ares of Ori ental embroidery In different shade of blue, and on v ry edge was a bind of braid, and turned down at fie neck was a small collar of white Irlt h Isce, and thn lining was of blight blue, a color which was again repeated on the brim of the turban toque of black erlnollne which crowned all these charms. Turban toques brarlng crinoline crowns and straw brims held with feathers or flowers or beaded orna ments are to have much vogue, and pretty tiiey are too, and comfortable at that while to the short woman I hey grant height, since they are very nar row, and the mil on that account must not adopt Ihem as millinery for tb niatlnee. From the south, whence the new modes come, I heiir of toques of rtse and lilac with hovering butterfh a, and of bright cerise toques gay with Pur pie birds, and there are a'so ruruori of simple tailor-made tweed frocki made In checks, and crowned wltb narrow pyramid of fluwers. Again I have news of nlnon scarvea hemmed with flowers. These last I feel I could cheerfully dispense wl'h finding the soft satin scarf of black lined and frlrged with a color, au premcly becoming and engendering as much warmth as desirable when the fur boa need no longer be a clrcttm stance of our necessity. The satin scarves are not so long aa those ol last year, and there seems to be a notion prevailing that one should be supplied to mutch every satin or mus lin frock. The tweed coats and skirts are best without such addenda, but plain-faced cloths may well be so treated, but It would seem that silk are to have It all their own way, and for everyday occasions the short drers made of soft satin will enjoy consld erable patronage; and floral musilrt. and crepe de chines, and foulards, will only stand In the background un til May la an established fnt-t. After all there will be o many oc caslona to wear so n'any frocks that the thrifty will doubtless hid their head In the country, sing hey for the simple life and enwrap' themselve In printed cambric and take earnestly to sport or gardening, or even needle work. Apropos of needlework, the Industri ous may find much excuse for their labors in the popularity of bead trim mings which are to be bought ready i made at prohibitive price under the best circumstances, Bt,d may jet be accompllxbed In a manner that will lead to triumph, by the skilled a ma teur with a nice eye for co or. There are several Lend rhopa In town not a di.y where every variety of bead and bugle definitely French and Indefinite ly Oriental may be discovered, and amongst my recent Investigation has le-en a length of black and gree-n bro cade wllh the deslga carefully fol lowed out In dull gold bugles and some red and blue Oriental beads, with a result that was surprisingly effective and bore no hint of home manufacture. Of course It Is easy enough to contrive the many-beaded devices which decorate the latest mil linery, and the beaded tassel may be calculated to bestow an air of ele gance on quite Inexpensive straws.
