The hot weather period is the most trying season in the life of the young calf. It should not be so if it were properly looked after. But, as a ruls, the young calf is very much negliected at this season. It is left a prey to flies, the beat of the sun, and soon becomes stuntâ€" ed, iis huir rough, and its general epâ€" pearance unthrifty. The lyfimetry of outline present when a week or two old has given way ot a rotundity of body, familiarly known as "pot bellied." When a calf reaches this condition it might better be turned to other purposes than the dairz. The value of tie calf is deâ€" preciated oneâ€"half when it becomes stuntâ€" ed in growth, and no matter how good its ancestry may be, it cannot reach the development that it would have had, had r feed and care been extended to Itm day of its growth." CAN CALVES BE RAISED WITHOUT MILK t There are more calves of this stunts1i character in the country than many imaâ€" gine. The cheese factory and the supplyâ€" img of whole milk to cities and towns are some of the factors contributing to this ond. Where the whole milk is diâ€" verted from the farm it is difficult to raise calves properly. Good calves have been raised, without milk, except for the first two weeks. Some experiments conâ€" ducted at the Pennsylvania Experiment Station a few rs ago showed that this could be i::u ?n these experiâ€" ments a good substitute was found in a mixture oonuinlnq wheat flour, cocoaâ€" nut meal nutrium, linseed meal and dried blood, But what may be done at an exâ€" periment station may not always hbe practiced on the averago farm. Milk is the natural food for the calf, and it sbould have it in some form durinfi four to six months of its life, depending larg»â€" ly upon the vitality and vigor possessed by the calf at birth. It is true with the calf as with other young, that its future depends in a very large degree ur,n the care and feeding of the dam before the calf is borr. But that is another story, and not pertinent to the question at issueâ€"that of feeding and caring for the calf during the hot weather and afterwards. SKIMâ€"MILK FOR CALVES. Premising that the calf being raised this season have had proper care and feeding up to the present, we have reachâ€" ed a period when the‘v are from three to four months old. At this .qe they should still be receiving some skimâ€"milk daily. four months old. At this they should still be receiving some sfienrmllk daily. And we might point out just here that akimâ€"milk is rg:ttar food for the calf intended for the dairy than whole milk. It should have whole milk for a couple of weeks. Then a gradual change to «kimâ€"milk should be effected so â€" that when three or four weeks old it should not be receiving any whole milk. Skimâ€" milk is rich in protein, which will deâ€" velop nmmscle, bone and sinew, thus layâ€" ing the foundation for a strong, healthy, vigorous animal. But skimâ€"milk alone is not sufficient. _ Some linseed meal should be nmued. about a cupful to cuch feed. jelly is simply made by stirring ground flax seed or linseed meal into a pot of boiling water, until a jellyâ€" like consistency is reached. Ome of the trowbles in calfâ€"rearing is seours. A little flour added to the linâ€" seed meal along with the skimâ€"milk, is a good preventative. But by this time calves will have got beyond the scouring stage. The amount of skimâ€"milk a calf should he fed daily will depend largely upon the calf. Bome calves will take two gallons or two and a half gallons per day, while others may not take over a gallon and a half. The calf raiser must exercise his judgment in the matter. But whatever is done do not stint the calf. Give it all it will take and digest properly. Oaltâ€" hood is the growing time, and the ealf should be kept growing and in good, healthy condition from the start. GIVE A LITTLE COARSE FEED. Early in its career the calf should hbe â€" accustomed to _ taking a _ litâ€" ile coarse feed. Place some nice, bright clover hay in a rack and the calves will begin to nibble at it. A good plan is to drop a handful of wheatâ€" bran into tro pail about the time the calf is done dri.nkins. It will soon learn to lick it up. Some dairymen recommend beginning to feed the meal ration in this way ; after the calf has learned to eat bran, a little ground oats can be added and a very small quantity of oil cake meal. In this way the young calf may be educated to digest the more concenâ€" trated foods. Sugar beet meal makes a very good summer food for calves, especially for young ones, that are not on the grass much. ho . i Blts NR If the calf has been weil fed and cared for, after five or six months the skim milk ration may be gradually discontinâ€" ued. It will by this time have become accustomed to a meal ration, and if the pasture is good, will thrive well. But the calf should be carefully watched lest the food does not agree with it.

The pesent seaâ€" son should serve to convince many peach growers that Providence helps the orâ€" chardist who sprays his trees. To the cold, wet weather of late spring and carly summer is attributed the unusual prevalence and severity of â€" leatfâ€"curl; which defoliated many peach trees in the tenderâ€"fruit belt, causing the fruit to fall. The weather, which favored the development of the curlâ€"lea‘!, also, in many cases, prevent@d the s‘)mymg that would have been done to hold it in cheek. The defoliated trees will, of course, throw out a new leafage, but at considerable expense of vigor, while all badlyâ€"attacked ones will Pmduce no crop of fruit this year. H. 8. Peart, B. S.

There has just been issued from the offices of Lloyd‘s in Fenchurch . street, London, a new register, destined no doubt like its predecessors to be an indispensable desk companion of every one associated with the shipping inâ€" dustry. The appendices to the present 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 in exâ€" istence Great Britain must be credited with 11,505, or more than oneâ€"third. Inâ€" asmuch, moreover, as many _ of the foreign owned vessels are small coasters and river or lake steamers, Britain‘s proportion of the total tonnage is conâ€" siderably greater. From the point of view of capacity the flgurel for the world‘s tonnage are 41,449,707 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 conâ€" sider the shipping as well as the terâ€" ritory to be (fefended. The two to one keel standard may seem not far amiss if we keep in view the fact that Britain owns four and a half times as much tonnage as does Giermany, and three and a half times as much tonnage is belongs to the United Statesâ€"including the lake tonnageâ€"the aggregate tonnage under the Stars and Stripes being 4,053.812 e‘ons. In respect of her merchant fleet‘s capacity, Norâ€" 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, Hunâ€" gary, Denmark and Spain following in the order named. Considered as a comâ€" mon carrier, Britain‘s superiority is still more marked, because in her case the proportion of steam tonnage to the total is very high. British steamers, for inâ€" stance, contribute 17,702,000 tons, whereâ€" as Germany‘s aggregate is only 3,889,â€" 000 tons, or about a fifth. In this reâ€" spect thhe Urfited States takes the third place, our total being 3,602,332 tons. The British trade journal Engineerâ€" ing, by which the above data are reproâ€" duced from Lloyd‘s Register, has found it possible by an analysis of the figures given to arrive at some indication of the increase in the number of high speed vessels, It appears that if all countries are taken rnto account there are now 101 steamers capable of exâ€" ceeding twenty knots an hour, as comâ€" pared with fiftyâ€"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 infiuence on the developâ€" ment of speed. Of the twenty knotters no fewer than sixtyâ€"one are British owned, as compared with thirtyâ€"two in 1901 and eight in 1891. With the exâ€" ception of 516 United States, the addiâ€" tion to the number of fast ships beâ€" longing to foreign powers is very slight. Even of stcamers of between ineteen and twenty knots there has not been a great increase. There were seventen of these in the world in 1891. The numâ€" ber was exactly doubled in 1901, but since that only eight vessels of the speed named have been added, making the total now fortwâ€"two, of which the United Kingdom owns twentyâ€"seven. Of the vessels making between eighteen and nineteen knots the aggregate numâ€" bes is at present eightyâ€"five, as comâ€" pared with fortyâ€"seven at the begln- ning of the century. Of the total fiftyâ€" nine are British owned. If, indeed, we take into view all vessels making or exceeding seventeen knots in speedâ€" these number 353â€"we find that Great Britain owns 206. When we turn lastly to the increase in the number of vessels of great size we learn that there are now 133 ships each exceeding 10,000 gross tons, of which seventyâ€"two are owned by comâ€" panies practically belonging to the United Kingdom. _ Germany _ comes next in the list with thirtyâ€"three, and the United States follows with nine. Only the Mauretania and Lusitania are over 30,000 tons, but of shil:s between 20,000 and 25,000 tons Britain has four, CGermany two, and America and Holâ€" over 30,0 20,000 an CGermany land one Captain regaling a stories.

HEAT PROSTRATION DIFFERENT FROM SUNSTROKE. HOW TO MEET HOT WEATHER. Blondes More Liable Than Brunettes to Heat Troublesâ€"Eat Only Abâ€" solutely Fresh Fruitâ€"Wear Light Clothing, Sleep Much and Drink No Stimulants. "The blazing sun of July and August can work two direct ills upon mankind, and two direct ills only," says a writer in â€" Hampton‘s Magazine, "sunstroke, which, all things considered, is comparaâ€" tively rare, and what is popularly known as heat prostration, which, though genâ€" erally avoidable, is common. . "Because they demand rapid diagnosis and profupt relief, the symptoms of this pair of dangers are frequently confused, and not infrequently with disastrous reâ€" sults, but the truth is that they are enâ€" tirely independent of cach other. "Sunstroke is a sudden loss of control by the heat regulating centresâ€"of the brain, whereas heat prostration is mereâ€" ly but perhaps more perilously the exâ€" haustion of certain vital organs, due to the patient‘s continued exposure to the heat. "Nature in order to guard the brain against sunstroke has established in it a heat regulating mechanism of a characâ€" ter quite adequate to ordinary cireumâ€" stances. This is a nerve centre which automatically controls the blood vessels. Cold contracts these vessels, but heat expands them, and when expanded they pour out the sweat which, by its evaporâ€" ation, relieves the superheated body. "The heat regulator is to the brain what the automatie sprinker is to the factory or warehouse. When the factory or warehouse acquires a dangerous temâ€" gerature that very temperature dissolves he plugs in the sprinkler afd releases the water. Thus, when the brain grows too warm the heat regulator permits the vessels to expand and they proceed at once to pour out the relieving flvid. "This is adequate in ordinary circumâ€" stances. But civilization has created for man some cireumstances which are not in nature‘s conceftion of the term ‘ordiâ€" nary.. In such cireumstances, when the brain is worn by disease, when it is wearled by overwork, when it is fagged by abnormally long heat exposure, or when it is subjected to sudden exposure of excessive violence, the cerebral cenâ€" tres are whipped into a condition which requires more relief than the sprinkler can give, and then the result is that colâ€" lapse which we call sunstroke. "It is the action of the heat on several vital organs which causes heat prostraâ€" tion, and this is usually matter not of one hour but of several days. The heart action weakens, the stomach is upset, bowels, kidney and liver may suffer, and the prospective patient ‘to keep going‘ uses ug more and more of the energy which he will later need in resisting the final breakdown. Consequently prostrations occur as & rule in 31056: who are exposed to intense heat for a long period, or who are in bad health. The ultimate result is likely to be more serious than in cases of sunâ€" stroke. Often the yutient recovers only to run the same risk again and to enâ€" counter ultimate disaster. The delicate meghanism of the brain makes the immediate services of a physiâ€" clan imperative in all cases of sunstroke, but in the ordinary cases of prostration much may be done before the physician arrives. Stimulation is required, and this in the form of surface friction is easily administered. _ The fatal ‘temperature‘ is generally believed to be 106 degrees, yet I have seen patients brought into hospitals with a temperature of 110â€" and going up b{' leaps and boundsâ€"who were cured by ice baths and rubbing. "Recent investigations seem to show that the lighter the color of your comâ€" plexion the greater are your chances of disaster. The medical staff of the United States army has been paying particular attention to this matter anlg has found that as a rule bondes cannot long surâ€" vive in a tropical climate. "On the average they die within three years, probablf' because the clear skin, being practically without rigment, offers little protection against the sun‘s rays. In any event blonde or brunette should remember that the skin‘s natural relief from heat lies in the throwing off of that secretion of water, salts or excreâ€" mentitious matter which we know as sweat. "The cessation of the flow of sweat is the first danger signal. When that hapâ€" pens get out of the sun and into the shade, stop work, drink plenty of water and do not hesitate to use a fan. It is more satisfactory to be ladylike and alive than masculine and dead. _ Of course if you can afford it you can alâ€" ways avoid both sunstroke and prostraâ€" tion by the simgle process of keeping out of the heat, but you should at any rate take things easy and drink no stimâ€" ulants at all. "‘Chief among the ills from heat that are less direct but more frequently fatal are diseases of the lower alimentary canal. Two general causes are, roughly, assignableâ€"cold and bacteria. Probably 95 per cent. of the diseases which we are now considering have their origin in the eating of contaminated fruit. ‘"By this I do not necessarily mean fruit which is so far rotted that its deâ€" composition is evident to the senses. It is true, I believo, that in many cheap eating places and in some that are not cheap, contaminated fruit is frequently servel as fruit salad or in some highly seasoned or skillfully prepared form. "But the far more frequent source of distross is in fruit which our senses could mot st all detect as decayed and which it i)olnted out to us we should describe as just on the turn.

Out of my proâ€" fessional experience, on the contrary, I would say that symptomatically cholera morbus is often quite as deadly as Asâ€" iatic cholera. It certainly has been far more deadly in America, and i know of but one general rule against itâ€"when in doubt, cook the fruit. "It would be best if we Americans could get over the absurdities of our summer fashions in clothes, which are in literal truth, frequently suicidal. One summer some years ago I passed several weeks jn the pleasant town of Bristol, N.H., and there I found that the dress of the richest man was pretty much that of the poorest. Moccasins, serge trousers held loosely by a skate strap, a five cent chip straw hat and a hickory shirt, the collar open and the sleeves rolled up to the elbowâ€"so much and no more. "But Bristol is the happy exception. Women as a rule fare passably well beâ€" cause they affect such fabrics as pongees and lawns, which give an adequate evaâ€" porating surface and because the too frivoliusly mocked peekaboo waist has about solved the problem of hot weather attivre for femininity; yet, save in rare communities as that of the lucky New Hampshire town, we poor men continue to carry four layers of clothes upon our backs and face death at every sunny comner. "Above all, you should be careful durâ€" ing warm weather not to overwork your stomach. It has served you more or less faithfully all winter and its emâ€" ployer should grant it a sort of vacaâ€" tion. _ Avoid, therefore, excessive amâ€" ounts of food, but especially of all heat making foodsâ€"allstarch and fats, greasy dishes and Irish potatoes. ‘‘Green vegetables are the best feaâ€" tures in the menu, and lean meat and eggs are m close second, because they are not fat makers, but muscle makers. As for fruit, be eure that it is not conâ€" taminated ; avoid the dust blown corner fruit stand, and if you drink alcoholie beverages at all, drink only light wines and beers. It is better to avoid all such drinks. ‘‘The question of how long at the seaâ€" side the summer bather should remain in the surf is a question of individual idiosycracy. I frequently remain in the water for two or three hours, while many of my friends can endure no more than thirty minutes. ‘‘‘There is, then, but one rule, which is to go in the first day and stay until you feel the first sign of chill, then leave at once, rub down thoroughly, and thereâ€" after always quit the water at least ten minutes sooner than on that first day. ‘‘The secret of escaping the evils of summer lies largely in the regulation of personal habits. It would be well if in July and August we canopied our sidewalks as the sidewalks are canopied in Italy, and it would be well for us to adopt the open air cafes of Europe in general, the nearest substitute for which is the still too rare roof garden of New York. ‘‘Safety from the danger of heat prosâ€" tration may be almost positively secured by observiag the following rules : _‘"1. Make your work as light as posâ€" sible. "2. Wear only the lightest clothing and as few garments as the law allows. "3. Eat sparingly, principally fresh vegetables, shunning all fats and starchy foods, avoiding the deadly fruit saled and taking no fruit which has not been either washed or peeled immediately beâ€" fore it is served. "5. Drink no spirituous liquors. "6. Sleep, if it is possible, at midâ€" day ; always stay abed cight hours every night and always sleep under a mosquito netting.

Efforts are being made to introduce in the Southern States certain useful vegetables, hitherto unknown to this country, which are known in tropical regions as the yautia, the dasheen and the taro. The last named is already familiar as &n ornamental plant, under the name of caladium or "elephant‘s ear." All three are nearly related, and their starchy, edible roots are highly prized in warm latitudes. ( ! y & s oo n 00 NN t es dabseindinun use These roots, indeed, resemble the comâ€" mon potato in composition and in flavor. That of the yautia, for example, when properly cooked, is not easily distinâ€" guished from the "Irish" tuber. It is sometimes white, sometimes red and sometimes yellow, according to variety. So rich is it in starch that it yields nearly oneâ€"third of its weight in flour, and its leaves are prepared . for the table after the manner of spinach. One reason why it is deemed desirâ€" able to introduce these plants is that they flourish in land that is too wet for ordinary crops. Jt has been ascerâ€" tained that they will grow well in this country as far north as the Carolinas. Not only are they useful by reason of their edible qualities, but. their high yield of starch affords a prospect . of great usefulness for them as stock food or in the production of aleohol. The yautia seems to have been origâ€" inally native to the West Indies, It was cultivated by the aborigines in those parts centuries before Columbus discovered America. Even to the preâ€" sent day its roots, which look scircâ€" what like sweet potatoes, are raised c= the islands of that archipelago in great quantitics, the production often reachâ€" ing ten tons to the acre.

The range wools are usually known as western wools and are quoted genâ€" erally by the name of the state in which they are raised, such as Montana, Oregon, Colorado and Utah wools. They all have characteristics which distinâ€" guish them, owing to the soil, climate and the range conditions. The range wools, according»* to Fur News, are much better in breeding and staple than a dozen years ago, because the sheepmen have been steadily gradâ€" ing up their flocks with the best blood that could be secured, regardless of price. The result is that their wools are bringing nearly as if not quite as much as the castern brights wools of the same grades. Some of the wool growers of Montana and Wyoming own or control 50,000 to 100,000 sheep. _ Frequently these big flocks are divided up into half a dozen flocks in the hands of share men, who care for the sheep for a share of the wool and lambs. Except in lambing time the sheep are divided into bands of about 2,000, each band in care of a herder. _ During the summer the mountains make the best range, such as the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. In the winter when there is some 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 one. _ He is provided with a covered wagon, which is hauled out on the range, where he is left with his sheep and perhaps a dog or two and proviâ€" 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 mornâ€" ing till about noon, when they lie down, rest and chew their cuds. About 2 o‘clock he gets them up and starts them back so as to graze 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 driven up to some favorable spot in turn and shorn. Oftentimes this takes place on the open prairie. The woo!l is sacked and piled up and sometimes lies there uncovered for a month before it is hauled, in some cases fifty to sevâ€" entyâ€"five miles, to the railroad. LONELY LIFE OF A HERDER. DR. H.
