Which There 10 No Manager.

For ten days preceding the time
for calving, the COW should be kept
In comfortable. well-littered box
stall or pen, in which there is no
manger. The feed should be given in
a box or basket, which should be re-
moved after the feed is taken. The
coarse feed may be put in the corner,
and no more should be given than
she will eat This rule should, how
ever, be observed, not only before
calving, but at all times. Throwing
large quantities of roughage before q

REST FOR cow is ESSENTIAL
Animal, Like other Machines, Must
Be Given Sufficient Time for
5o Making Needed Repairs.
(By WALTER B. LEUTZ.)

Too many farmers milk their cows
from calf to calf" In some states
the law forbids the selling of milk
Of cows within two weeks of calving
or five days after. This rest is none
too long and In fact young hefers
would do better If they were given. a
longer rest before calving.
We once heard farmer at county
institute defend his practice Of milk
Ing his COW up to the last moment on
the ground that he worked every day
and wanted his cows to do the same.
A woman asked him If he did not
rest on Sundays and he rather shame
facedly replied that he worked every
day in the week. particularly during
the summer months. Not much use
arguing with a man like that, but ex-
perience shows that 1t is much better
for the health and usefulness OF the
COW. especially heifers. to give her
at least a months rest during the
year.
A COW is milk machine, 1t is true.
and We want to get all we can out
of her, but like machines made OF
steel and wood she, must be given
time for repairs or she will wear out
all to quickly.

Milk Fever.

Milk fever can be prevented very
easily by milking the COW regularly
before she drops her calf II she Is
usually a heavy mixer, she should
be as regularly MIXED for a few
weeks before calving as she Is after.
Begin the milking at ;east two weeks
before the time for the arrival of the
calf During the first week once each
day is sufficient but the last week she
should be MIXED both night and
morning.

SQUIRTING Cream.

The development OF Tactic acid, or
the souring of cream, does not in
crease the butter fat content. AS a
rule, when cream becomes sour it is
more difficult to test than when it is
sweet. The difficulty in obtaining an
accurate test of sour milk or cream
lies in the fact that it is not easy to
obtain an accurate sample.

 WILL PRESENT PLAY
Sweet Girl Graduates Will Be Seen
 At EIks Theater May 24.

Sweet Girl Graduate" is the name of the dramatic production the mem- bers of the senior class of the Phoenix high school have chosen this year for their annual play It will be seen in the Elks theater Wednesday night
 May A. beginning at 30 o'clock. m der the stage direction of Professor Mlchaels of the high school. who is whole lot better than a raw hand when 1t comes to whipping histrionic talent into shape. He is not exactly a professional but he has drilled more amateurs than some professionals ever did and has a way of picking out talent and developing it, that promises to meet with the approval of all who see the seniors next Wednesday night
 The play is most appropriate for the occasion and calls for some thirteen or fourteen characters, evolving around the two central figures who are Maude De Smythe the graduate and Jack Hamilton, the leading man. The part of Maude will be taken by Miss COrinne Stabler while Louis Hirst will impersonate Jack Hamilton While there is more or less plot there is also a deal of school life in the story. The first scene presents Maude in the most arduous and perhaps the most important tarS of her whole school career. the selection of her graduation clothes. The next scenes show the young woman in the pre- paration of her graduation day ad- dress. The time the play is sup posed to take place is the present: that is all that is referred to above. Then comes the epilogue in which the scene shifts to 1914 and there is pre- sented what in other entertainments is called the class prophecy. It tells what all the members of the class will be doing in 1914. which will no doubt be very interesting.
 The admission prices will range from 25c to 75c and tickets will be on sale at Boehmer's store on and after 9 o'clock next Monday morning. The members of the class are expecting every loyal supporter of the school to be present and they guarantee that the entertainment will be worth all that is asked for it.
