Fssdino the Dairy Calves.

Feeding the calves the proper food
u one Of the important features Of
dairying where the dairyman raises
his own cows. No progressive dairy
man will be willing to divide the but
Ter fat with the calf very long. He
will be anxious to put the calves on
skimmilk and concentrates as soon as
possible. because he can get more for
his butter fat than his concentrated
feeds are worth.
The calves should have good pas.
ture. where there are water. shade and
fair grazing. The young animals will
need exercise as well as grass and wa
ter. and the pasture will be the place
for them to develop rapidly.
Bran. shorts. rice bran. cornmeai.
etc.. may be used. The young animals
will soon learn to eat good hay. silage
and grain. all Of which should be used
in the ration.

situated on the admirable Gulf Of Porto

The bay abounds in fish and curious sea-
shells, and the view is magnificent. Porto
Vecchio was colonized by the Genoese in
1914. In the vicinity are splendid forests
of cork oaks; the expectation of cork
forming the chief industry. The ancient
Notifications of the old Genoese town

reduction was even lower. 1t is estimated
that the average reduction has been about
35 per cent. Citizens from all sections
OF the city patronize the market, scores
even driving down in automobiles to
make purchases.
Democracy reigns supreme. Mrs
Banker and Mrs Laborer elbow their
way good naturally through the crowds.
The variety of produce that can be had
at the market is constantly increasing.
You can buy meats from several dealers.
The farmers bring in their home-cured
meats-milk, cream and butter can be
had at lowered prices. Owners of Or
chards are greatly benefited by selling
cider produced from their second grade
apples that could not have otherwise
been marketed in this season of plenty.
The thrifty housewife dresses few
chickens in order to piece out her pin
money; some prepare dairy dishes, others
have choice pastry that finds a ready
market. Surplus canned fruits from farm
homes meet with favor. A small boy,
firing of his pet rabbits, found an envi-
GUS boy who was willing to exchange his
savings for pair of furry pets.
The market place has stopped the agita-
ton as to the high cost of living 1t has
convinced our people that they can secure
their food supplies of the best quality
direct from the consumer without the
possible chance of combination of mid
dlemen.
The producers are benefited as they
are always sure of a market for all they
raise; they can find a market for num-
Der of small products that they could not
otherwise sell.
The market will contribute greatly to
the growth and prosperity of Des Moines.
1t assures people intending to locate here
that living costs are at the rock bottom.
Manufacturers are assured that their
workmen will be properly nourished and
that the low cost of living will make it
possible for the city to grow and meet

business prospers.

:. A. R. EXCURSION TO CALIFORNIA

The veterans of the Civil War are
planning for their annual National En-
campment, which is to be held this year
in Los Angeles, Calf, during the week
Sept. 9th to 14th This meeting has not
been held on the Pacific coast since 1903,
on which occasion the Department Of
Maine conducted an excursion party
which numbered about 100.
1t is we'll to reflect that Immediately
following the Civil War, the pioneers
who opened up and developed the re-
sources of the Middle West and Extreme
West, consisted very largely of those
CO ming from the ranks of the veterans.
At this late date many are interested in
visiting old scenes and old friends and all
indications are that this meeting will be
m emorable in affording an opportunity
becoming more and more rare each year,
for comrades of the East and West to
m:ngle together.
Department Commander, VIM. H.
Holston of Westbrook and Asst Adj.
General F. A. Motley of Woodfords are
bending every effort in all sections of the
State with the hope that more than
usual interest will be aroused, and that
Maine will send a delegation of such
numbers as will be creditable to the
Maine Department and arouse a sense
of appreciation from our comrades on
the Pacific coast.
