How much skim milk should be fed to calves daily? Rosults ob'slnpd thn far at the dairy division eiperiment farm. Belts yille, Md., Indicate that calves will make the greatest pains In weight when fed comparatively large quanti ties of skim milk daily (one-fifth of their body weight, pr all they will drink), but that the most economical gains are made on smaller quantities. In an experiment to determine the effect of feeding various quantities of skim milk, 16 calves were divided Into groups of four calves each. These groups were balanced as nearly as pos sible with reference to breed and body weight at birth. One group was given daily ration of one-seventh of the body weight, the quantity being regu lated by body weights taken every ten days. Two other groups were fed at the rate of one-sixth and one-fifth of their body weights; and the fourth group was given all the milk the calves would drink, tw ice a day. Each calf received Its mother's milk until It was ten days old. The change to skim milk was then made gradually, and at the age of fifteen days the calf was on an entire skim milk ration. The experiment run for 70 days. Weights obtained for three consecutive days, at the end of the 70-day period, were taken as the final weights. The average reslults from each group are given In tabular form : Milk Milk per Dally per pound Bat of feeding. gain. day. gain. Group 1 (one-seventh of I.ba. Lbs.

Group 4 (all they would drink) 1.4S 24.22 16.1 The groups were well balanced as regards weight and thrift of the calves. The gains Increased with the quan tity of skim milk fed, the calves which received all they would drink making gains at least 50 per cent larger than those receiving milk at the rate of one-seventh of their body weight To do this they drank about SO per cent more milk. As a consequencehe skim milk required for one pound of gain was greater with the heavily fed calves. No bad results from heavy feeding were noticed, although all of the calves LOT fife; ykflfc P Heavy Skim Milk Rations, It Has Been Found, Are Beneficial for Calves. In group 4, with one exception, drank, at times, more than 40 pounds of skim milk t day. This leads us to believe that overfeeding is not In itself a com mon cause of scours. TO PREVENT TAINTED BUTTER Churn Must Be Kept Sweet and Clean at All Times Small Brush Quite Convenient If proper care is not exercised In keeping the churn sweet and clean the butter will be tainted, no matter how well the milk and cream have been cared for before churning be gins. A small brush is a convenient article to ue about the churn, as It la somewhat difficult to clean the cor ners and Joints with a cloth and It Is these that hold part Me of milk and cream and make breeding places for microbes. BULL OF GREAT IMPORTANCE Because of Extensive Influence on Herd Animal Should Ba Best Breeder Can Purchase. A cow Is the darn of but one calf In the herd, but a bull is the sire of all the calves. Because of his extensive Influence on the herd, the herd bull should be Jus, as good as the new breeder can possibly u fi ord to buy. In fact the price of the tu rd bull should be of far less conslik'nition than the price of the cow. The buyer should not by satisfied with a cheap bull, but when be pays a good price he should buy a food bull. Love fur your ork Is the key to your success. Learn to love your cows. The season of the fly pests, which make life miserable for stock during the summer, is on. If It pa)" to raise calves at all It pays to feed and cure for them from the day they are burn. THESE HUSBANDS Bv GEORGIA HARRIS. t& by M.C'.nr NvrpT- Syn.ticat Mrs. 1! hs surveyed the unllghtod house lih suspicious eves and tight ened lip and. upon finding the back dor Uxkiil, drew forth her latchkey w ith as nuu'h vengeance as an angry warrior drawing his sword from Its scabbard. "Nine o'clock and no Bobs," she muttered angrily, as she switched on the kitchen light. "This Is very strange " She stopped suddenly and threw up her hands In dismay. What a sight greeted her! Pishes dishes dishes even to her Dresden china filled the sink. Mrs. Bobs breathed a wrathful sigh as she sud denly thought of Bobs' last letter to her. "lifting to be a regular house keeper." he had written, "stay at home every night . . . never go out . . . hope you are having a good time . . ." "Good time, Indeed!" sniffed Mrs. Bobs, fairly bristling with Indigna tion, as she strutted Into the dining room. Here another stght confronted her and she looked about the room In consternation. Newspapers were strewn everywhere. So perturbed was her state of mind that Mrs. Bobs forgot her reason for coming home. After a moment of re flection, however, she decided that things looked very serious, for the all important fact stood out clearly: She had returned home unexpectedly and Bobs was not to be found. Consider ing that his letters stated very em phatically that all his evenings were spent at home'1 things looked very suspicions. In spite of this she tried to take an optimistic view of the situation, as she sat gingerly on the edge of a dusty chair. After all. she mused, she had been foolish to spoil her hard-earned vacation Just because that horrid Mrs. Hastings had Insinuated such mean things. Women could be so catty when tniking nhont other women's husbands. Perhaps at this very min ute Bobs was enjoying a quiet evening with mother. She darted for the tele phone with a confident smile. When mother's surprised voice told her that Bobs had not been over that evening, and In the same breath want ed to know the reason for the unex pected return to the city, Mrs. Bobs found a ready excuse In sweetest of voices, but she hnng up the receiver with vehemence, as suspicion began to take root again. Distrust came to stay as Mrs. Bobs with anger gleaming In her eyes turned off the lights and sat In the shadow of the curtained window to await the vagabond's return. As the hall clock dolefully chimed the hour of one, In Imagination she arrived at the conclusion of the di vorce trial. When at 1:30 there was still no sign of the truant hushand, Mrs. Bobs finally dragged herself np the stairs and opened the bedroom door with a heavy heart. Mechanically she turned on the light and looked about the room with a choking sigh, which was followed by an outburst of unre strained weeping. However, when her eyes rested upon the bed astonish ment overcame her grief, and she stared fascinated. Fully dressed, ex cept for collar and tie, with shoes on while coverlet 'ay Mr. Bobs peace fully sleeping. With a bound she was over to the bed, kissing the tiny bald spot on his head again and again. 'What's the row ? hnt s the rowr he mumbled drowsily, blinking his eyes In sleepy amazement. "Oh." she answered lightly, giving bim a little hug. "I Just got worried about you, so I decided to come home. and have been watching for you for hours. Then I got worried and thought that' something terrible had happened an er er accident you know," she finished lamely and a guilty blush suf fused her face. "Just like my own girl," Bobs an swered, patting her affectionately on the cheek, his face beaming with pleasure. Mrs. Bobs hung her head In shame for a moment, then suddenly ex claimed: "Bnt. honey, you have all your clothes on !" , "Well," Bobs replied, now thorough ly awake, "I was going to do a little housework, and thought I'd He down for a stretch before starting. Guess I must have fallen asleep." "Now," she said, very solicitously, "I am going to make you a bit of lunch this very minute. You Just He down and 111 bring It up to you." Bol" gazed after her retreating fig ure. Suddenly he sat upright and fumbled In his pockets with a per plexed expression upon his face, as if trying to remember something, until finally he found a crumpled note. With a rueful smile he glanced over the contents of the note "We are counting on you," It read, "for another big time tonight Eight thirty at the same place and we won't get home nntll morning. There's a little still Tra La. The Gang." Sighing heavily, he picked up an alarm clock that should have rung at 7:30. ."Can't depend upon you to wake a fellow up when he's trying to 'catch up' on a little sleep," he soliloquized, studying the clock Intently. "I missed a good party because you weren't on the Job that time." Bobs turned to see Mrs. Hobs, her face wreathed In smiles, standing in the doorway. New Meaning of "Intrigue." The latest verbal Importation from France that I have had occasion to re mark ll no more than the conferring of a new meaning upon an old word. In English "to Intrigue" has aJwaya meant to plot surreptitiously, whereat In French It was always used (by ex tension) to Indicate the state of puz zled doubt In which we may find our selves when we have reason to suspect a surreptitious plot: ar this sec ondary French meaning I now pass ing over Into English, so that we may read In the light stories that run I through our m.i.:,7i;us. "She intrigued mo." meaning t! :t she jmrjliil me. and ! not moaning that s'le Involved me in i an intrigue. This tJallle secondary ! meaning will probably force Itself Into ! our yielding AngloSaon. an.l we shall i have hereafter the privilege of era I ploying "to Intrigue" in either of two j different Intents. I doubt If this will he to the protit of the language; but protest Is idle, s'nee the fate of a nov elty always depends upon Its ultimate usefulness. Brander Matthews In Harper's Magazine.
