next? The COW has thrown back on
her system a large quantity of blood
and nerve force which have been going
to the foetus. The whole system is in
state of tension and often complica-
lions result. Our experience has cost
us something for we have tried TO be
too artificial and parturient appopleXy
and other infiammatory ills have re-
suited, and often disastrously. Time
gone by we have removed the calf
before it was dry, then MIXED and
fed the cow and watched for the de-
velopment of parturlent appopleXy.
Now we leave the cow and calf to-

of this condition is a partial relief

leave that for the calf. We give a
drink of tepid water and as there is
generally more or less fever we add a
dessertspoonful of saltpeter (pulveriz

fever.
For day or two, perhaps for four
or five days we are careful as to feed.
In summer we can allow access to
grass. In winter clover hay, roots
and some bran are, in our opinion,
best till the condition of the system
becomes normal. For the same time
we are careful as to watering. Twice

must be exercised that no old milk is
left in the adder. Some have ascrib-
ed to this the cause of milk fever but
whether this be true or not, certain
it is that garget and other udder ills
may easily result from improperly
cleaning out the udder in drying.
During the "dry" period the cow
if in the stable must be kept in
healthy condition. Our experience is
that judicious feeding of such foods
as ensilage and chaff, clover hay with
few mangels and bran with some
chop and "salt at WILL" keeping the
bowels in good condition and lessen
ing the quantity of feed for a week
before calving will give better and
safer results than dosing with mix
lures which the COW does not get in
natural feeding. No dairyman can

natural means which adapts the system

under artificial conditions of feeding
and the care with which this imita-
ton is exercised increases in direct
relation to the increased return ex
pected from high breeding and other
artificial conditions with which we
surround our COWS. We must know
our individual COWS preparatory to
and at parturition as we'll as during
lactation.
Difficulties in parturition oc-
casionally present themselves. A

The care begins long before the time
for parturition is due. Not only
is the COW that is nourishing a quick
ly-growing foetus to be we'll fed, but
extreme watchfulness against injury
from attacks of the boss COW of
the herd or from any of the many
ways in which injury may be receiv-
ed, is absolutely necessary, that the
labor of parturition may not be in
creased or the life of the COW en-
dangered.
"Drying up'' the cow is important.
Many of the troubles with the udder
come from improper drying. Care

New York, Dec. 1O.-Two great Eng
lish ,abor leaders, Robert Smiley and
J. A. Seldom, are now in America.
They came as British delegates 10 the
recent convention OF the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor but they are linger-
ing here for the purpose Of studying
conditions in this country.
Smiley is president of the largest
union in the world-the Mine Work
ers' union OF England, with $4,000
members. the union that started the
general strike in Britain last April
that caused more than three million
persons 10 quit their work. He has
been a prominent British labor lead
or for so years and became an in
ternational figure as head of the min
ers' union.
Il believe general strikes are justi-
fed, but only as a last resort 10 gain
decent conditions for the workers, -
says Smiley Our union wanted the
government to pass a minimum wage
| for mine workers. The government
said that was a question it could not
/ touch We struck million mine
workers laid down their tools and
/ two million members of other trades
/ followed. Then the government
learned that minimum wages is dis
/ tinctly a question that it can touch
( for il took TIE government only about
four days 10 pass a minimum wage
bill through parliament Previous ID
the strike we could only muster 7C

votes out Of go for a minimum wage
bill.
The governments bill was not, all
we wanted, but it did give from 6
cents TO cents a day more wages to
10000 mine workers. Now our I'M
ion is fighting to have the mines ma
tionalized, owned and operated by the
government for the general good in
stead of for the benefit of a favored
few. And at the same time the rail-
way workers union has gone on rec
ord as favoring government owner
ship of the railroads, and when these
two things are achieved we propose
TO sell coal in all parts of England at
the same price, just as the postoffice
carries mail, one mile or a thousand
for the same charge.
The American labor movement has
done well. considering the difficulties
of mixed nationalities and various Ian
guages. The newer American move
ment toward organization of unions by
industries instead of crafts is in the
right direction and you must come to
that"
Seldom is general organizer of the

Der Of the British parliament, he favor
ed a minimum wage. He declares the
English retail clerks are among the
most unappreciated and poorly paid il
