says a writer in the Country Gentle
man. She should be carefully watched
at calving, and SIS soon as she has
calved put on the harness, which
must be tightly strapped on, and then
in an hour or so loosen it up to let
away the after-birth or renew the
sanitary cloth. 1t almost always hap
pens that once COW throws her bed
she will do It again. In desperate
cases two stitches can be made with
darning needle and fine white tape
and left in for two days, giving sloppy
drinks with a little opium in them.

Water Hauled to Cows.

The usual method of watering in
Denmark is to haul the water in a
tank on lov-wheeled, one-horse
wagon twice a day to the tethered
COWS. Doors are placed in the top of
this tank at either end, and by pro-
ceeding directly across the field along
the line of tethered cows, stopping
the horse midway between the tether
stakes, two cows can drink at the
same time, making the task of water
ing easy. Some take the COWS to the
stable to be MIXED three times a day,
and in this case the watering is done
there

day of Queen Mary of EnglaQd it
was announced that the town of Nor

canary, carefully selected by experts,
attention was directed to the fact that
hundreds of workmen in Norwich,

canary to their considerable profit.
The perfect Norwich canary must

The Buying Power of Sl.75.

A little money sometimes buys
a good deal. For instance, take
the subscription price of The
Youth S Companion for a year
SG.7s. If all the good reading in the
81 weekly issues of the paper were
published in book form, according
TO its kind, it would make about
thirty volumes of fiction, science
essays by famous writers, household
management and economies, sports
and pastimes for boys, natural
history, anecdotes, humor, etc.
The serial stories alone would fill
several volumes. Among these is
Ralph Paine's great story OF the
Boxer Rebellion in China, "The
Cross and the Dragon Another is
by J. w. Schultz, who was adopted
by the Blackfcet when a boy II
is called "The Quest for the Fish.
Dog Skin" Another is a glorious
girls story by c. a Stephens, called
Julia Sylvester It's the story
OF "Mcrcer' girl in the pioneer
days of Oregon and Washington
and that is only part Of the serials.
II will cost YOU nothing to send
for the beautiful Announcement
of The Companion for r9f2 and we
will send with it sample copies OF
the paper.
DO not forget that the new sub.
scrber for 1912 receives a gift OF
