Milk is the natural food for the caef,. and it eihoulci have it in some forth clueing four to six months of its life, depending largeIly upon the vitality and vigor possessed lby the calf at birth. It is true -with the atilf as with other young, that its future illepends in a very large degree open the care end feeding of the dem before ti' e calf is born. But that is another story, and not pertinent to the question at isszae—that of feeding and oaring for tele cafe during the hot weather and afterwarns. SKIM -MILK FOR CALVES.

Calves dropped in Nevenn bee or December, or even a month or two later are 'erne enough by the fon lowing Awe to go on grass in the day time, until it gets hot, aud then they had better no kept in a box stall in the flay tizne and turned out to grass at night. If the pasture is good and they have come along well, they will probably need very little -grain at this time, However, the feeder must use nis judgment. The calf must be kept growing and grain feeding may be necessary, though it should notebe givea to such an exteet as to maim the ealf unduly fat. A calf raised for beefing purposes should be kept in fat conda tion eight along. Not so a dairy calf. Growth is neoessmy, but not fat con- dition. Foe this reason the dairy calf. requires more Care in the rearing than one desired for the Mock. During the summer a good place for a calf is in a paddock vonvoinently lo- cated for feeding, where there are trees and a small she for shelter. If this cannot be provided then the calves anould be kept ie. a box stall in the stable during the day when thyun is hot. SOME CALF RATIONS Primrose McConnell, an English au- thority, recommends the following rat, ions for calves depending upon the age and maturity: No. 1—Milk 20 lbs., barley meal 1 Ib., linseed cake meal, I lb, No, 2—Milk 20 lbs. barley meal, 1 lb., 'Unwed eake meal, 1 'lb. No. 8—Calf meal 20 lbs., barley meal lb., pasture say 20 lbs. The same authority summarizes calf feeding as follows: "Colostrum to a newly -dropped calf (albumineld ratio 1.05). and afterwards ;ordinary milk (ratio 1.33), 11/2 to 2 gal - lona daily; gradually substitute linseed cake meal and barley meal raised, or "cal meals" up to 2 lbs. for a portion of the milk; also replace railk -with but- termilk or erhey; wean at 4 to 6 months. Pleanehay or forage within reach as soon as it chews the cud. eare must be taken to keep the food rich in hone and fleeli formers." VALUE Ole SPRAYING letkinfONe • STRATED.

Y., Sun.) • There bas just beenf issued from the offices of Lloyd's in Fenchureh steeet, London, a. new register, destined, no doubt like its predecessors to be an indispensable desk compel -doe of every one associate& with the shipping. in- dustry. The appendices to the peesent volume will be found. more than usually serviceable especially that in which are collected from the most authoritative sources the facts showing Britain's place among the ship owning nations of the world. From the returns made to Lloyd's Register it appears that of the 30,540 steamers and sailing ships now i ex- isterae Great )3ritain must be credited with 11,565, orinnre"than one-third. In- asmuch, moreoven as many of the foreign owned vessels are small coasters and river or lake steamers, Britain's proportion of the total towage Is con- siderably greater. From the point of view of capacity the figures for the world's tonnage are 41,440,767 tons, or over 45 per cent., are owned. by the British empire. The fact reminds us that when determining the relative strength of defence forces we must eon - eider the shipping as well as the ter- ritory to be defended. The two to one keel standard nifty seem not far amiss if we keep in view the fact that Britain owns four and e a half times as much tonnage as does Germany, and three and a half times as much tonnage is belongs to the United States—including the lake tonnage—the aggregate tonnage under the Stars ,and Stripes being 4,053,812 tons. In respect of her merchant fleet's capacity, Nor- way comes next to Germany, but has only a little more than a tenth of the British total. .France Is fifth, with scarcely more than a tenth. Italy takes the sixth position, Japan the. seventh, Russia, Holland, Sweden, Austria, Nun- may, .Demnark and Spain following in the order named. Considered as a com- mon carrier, Britain's superiority is still more marked, -because in her case the proportion of steam tonnage to the total is very nigh. British steamers, for in- stance, contribute 1'7,702,000 tons, where- as GerMany's aggregate is, only 3,889an 000 tons, or about a fifth. In this re- spect thhe United States takes thethird Place, aur total being 3,662,332 tons. ' The British trade journal Engineer- ing by,,which the above data are repro- duced from Lloyd's Register, has found It possible by an analysis of the figures given to arrive at some indication of the inerease in the number of high speed vessels.- It appears' that If all countries are taken into account there are now 101 stea,mers capable of •ex- ceeding twenty knots an hour, as com- pared with fifty-eight in 1901 and eight in 1891. Of the 101 steamers, 34 are propelled by Parsons turbines and one by the Curtis turbine, so that evidently the new system of propulsion has had a very direct lufluence on. the develop- ment of speed. Of the twenty knotters no fewer than sixty-one are British owned, as compared with thirty-two in 1901 and eight in 1891. With the ex- ception of the United States, the addi- tion to the number of fast ships be- longing to foreign powers Is very slight. Even of steamers of between ineteen and twenty knots there has not been a great increase. There • were seventeri of these in the world in 1891. The num- ber was exactly doubled In 1001, but since that only eight vessels of the speed named have been added, making the total tow fortw-two, of which the United Kingdom owns. twenty-seven. Of the vessels makieg between eighteen and nineteen knots the aggregate num- bes Is at presenteighty-five, as com- pared with forty-seven at the begin- ning Of the century. Of the total fifty- nine are British owned. If, indeed, we take into view -all vessels making or exceeding seventeen knots in speed— these number 358—we find that Great Britain owns 206. When we turn lastly to the intrease in the number of vessels of great size eve learn that there are now 133 ships each exteeding 10,000 gross tons, of ethich sevetty-two are owned by coin - reales practically belonging to the Milted Kingdotn.

All farms of eighty acres and up ought to have a small flock of sheep, When fumed for them there is little expense in keeping them, as they eat meetly what would' be wasted by the other stock, They kill out the weeds and bring in money for the wool at a time when the farmer iteually has little else to turn into money. Nearly. all the wool rased in the United States east . of the Missouri River is medium eyool. This is because the best mutton sheep are of this illass. The Ohio, Kentucky and ludiana wools bring the highest price; they are cleaner and consequently shrink less and, are mostly staple wools, Wools from the above sections and neighboring States are called bright weeds; these from western.. Minnesota western Iowa and Dakotes and eastern Nebraska and Kansas are called semi - bright. The range wools are usaally known as western wools and are quoted gen- erally by the name of the state in widen they are raised, such as Montana, Oregon, Colorado and Utah wools. They all have characteristic* which distin- guish thern, owing to the soil, climate and the' range conditions. The mange wools, according to Fur News, are much better in breeding and staple than a dozeyears ago, because the sheepenen have been steadily grad- ing up their flocks with the best blood that could be secured, regardless of pries. The . result is that their wools are bringing nearly as if not quite as much ae the easternebrights wools of the sanie grades. Some of the, wool growers of Montana and Wyoming own or control 50,000 to 100,000, !sheep, Frequently these big floeks are dividedup into ,half a, dozen flocks .in the hands of share men who CaTO for the sheep for a share' Of the wool and Iambs. Except in lambing time the sheep are divided into bands of about 2,000, efien band in care of a herder. During the summer the mountains make the beets range, spell ae the Big Horn Mountaini of -Wyoming. In the winter when there Is swan snow on the ground: lots of ranges can be used that at other times are useless on account of no water. The sheep herder's life is a very lonely .,orie. He is provided with a covered wagon, which is liauled out on the range, where he is left with hie sheep and perhans a dog or two and provi- sions for a couple of weeks, His duties consist of following and watching the band as they feed out (from the bed ground around the wagon) in the morn- ing till about zioon, when they lie down, rest and chew their cods. About 2 o'clock he gets them up and starts them bade so as to gram back to the bed grounds for the night. In about two Weeks the camp mover comes around and moves him three or four miles to another bed ground. When shearing time comes the bands are (Moen up to some favotable 'spot in turn and shorn. Oftenthnes this takes place en the open prairie. The wool is sacked and piled up and sometimes lies there mmovered for a month before it is hauled, in some cases fifty to sev- enty-five miles, to the railroad. ...wirmiraiwYmenammeoftw AMONG Mt KWS New* Nato About Them tnsto Over the Woild.

To grow old is sad Indeed, if what you want is to hold baelt the reoeding years, to keep your hair from growing white, your eyes from becoming 41m, and the wrinkles from chiseling their way across your brow. But if from all these vicissitudes to whielt life autvjecte you, you draw t bit of wisdom, of profit, of goodness, to grow old is to beeome free and large. One of the most beauti- ful things in the world is an old person who, made 'better by experience, more indulgent, more charitable, loves man. kind in spite of its wretehedneaS and adores youth without the slightest ten- dency to mimic U.

Dr. Horton, the well-kuown Brit- ish minister, has recently preaehed rather striking sermon on the subject of immortality. Reports of the sermon in full have not yet come to land, but quo- tations from it indicate that Dr. Horton has departed fora the generally accept- ed ideas touching thia matter. A sen- tence or two will give the heart of his belief and theory touching immortality: "Aceordieg to our Loard, immortality is not forced upon us. It ie an inealeo- table prize offered as tbe 'heirloom of humanity, but, we are to be 'counted ‘vorthy! The more I lave thought about this phrase the more the convic- tion has grown upon me that our Lord's meaning is simply this: Being counted worthy is having the real desire for eternal life. Those wbo ha,ye no such desire Inc unworthy, If we Jong for pinta and righteousness and love, which are implied in the immortal life, that passionate yearning is ia God's eyes our worthiness to reeeive His gift." Such a yearning, Dr. Horton pointed out, was Invent from base men, but never from noble: meinCarlyle, Ruskin. Tennyson and Browning all expressed in different ways the passionate and ineradicable craving for God and immortality. With them he contrasted the Swinburnes and Sohn Davidsons of literature. The soul which bas lost faith in the beyond, he said, must wither_.—Christian Guardian. THE HIGHER PURPOSE. To follow Christ is to became like Him. To serve Him is to carry out His spirit into all relations of our lives.. Tine cannot be done without a daily ly- ing to self, the giving up a multitude of things, in tbemselves not sinful, not evil, but good,' because we have a larger plan of life, a higher purpose of existence -- namely, the establishment among men of Christ's kingdom of truth, righteous - nein and joy. Row we shall work for it it determined by the conditions of our lives, and also by our use of these con- ditions—for by the faithfulness we may measurably clange them. institute new relations, broaden our range of in- fluence, create oportunities, make re- nunciation of certein modes of service easy, by rising to larger apd better . If there is sacrifice in nick a life„ it is for us the only true life—if there is a croes iri it, it is a cross to be gloried in -if it leads to death—death is but the augel that swings open the por- tals of heaven's triumphs. — Egbett Sn..yele • AERIAL TRAVEL. (By a Banker.) Now that the science of aviation has 'been so successfully developed that a flight across the English Channel has been achieved, perhaps it may be per. missible to give rein to the imaginatioh and to indulge in speculation as to the eventual potentialities of this strange mode of locomotion. There can be no question whatever now that it has been so practieally peeved that it is possible to.construct machines capable of making long fterial aoya,ges at rapid speed that in the nettr future travelling by aero- plane will not ,be regarded with greater wonder than was travelling by motor car it few years ago; and ie is possible that the flying machine of the future will be 08 great an advance over that by which, the brave Frenehman crossed the channel, both ill mannittide and also in speed, es the great Atlantie liner of the present day exeels the little wicker oracle in which the aneient Briton ven- ticintleltk. oecross river, or went fishing i And if this supposition be fulfilled how it will revolutionize travel, warfare —if indeed it would not put a stop to is altogether—even civilization ttnd nae tional life generally.
