DESIGN FOR FACE CLOTH BAG
Dainty Woman viii Be Careful to
Have Separate Receptacle for This
Most Necessary utensil.
, Underwood n Underwood, N. Y.

The absolutely dainty girl is espe-
cially careful OF her face CLOTH She
uses II but one day, and In order that
II may not accumulate germs and other
Impurities she is particular to keep II
out of the way of them--in a bag
This bag. like all Of the other toilet
belongings of the dainty girl, is n
fetching affair of cretonne, shaped like
correspondence card envelope and
about twice the size of such a recep-
tacle.
To make one of these face cloth
bags, cut paper pattern of a corre-
spondence envelope, enlarge 1t doubly
and lay It upon a piece of cretonne.
Then cut similar shape from rubber
lied tissue cloth, place the edges OF
the two materials together. bind them
with ribbon and join three of the
points together under a fancy button,
leaving the fourth edge for the flap,
whose point should be equipped with
loop large enough to go over the
button.
The rubber lined envelope is really
the only sanitary receptacle for a face
cloth. and It is the only one In which
a damp rag can be placed safely.
Even this should not be permitted To
become water soaked, as It inevitably
will do unless frequently spread out
fiat and hung in the sun.

II Means Health
For the Child

The careful mother. who watches close
ly the physical peculiarities OF her chill
dren. will soon discover that the most
important thing In connection with a
childs constant good health Is to keep
the bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels will be followed by loss of appe-
lite, restlessness during sleep, irrita-
bility and dozen and one similar evi-
dences Of physical disorder.
At the first sign Of such disorder give
the child n teaspoonful OF DR.. Caldwelrs
syrup Pepsln at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night IL
necessory-more than that will scarcely
be needed. You will find that the child
will recover its accustomed good spirits
at once and will eat and sleep normally.
This remedy is a vast Improvement
over salts, cathartics, laxative waters
and similar things, which are altogether
too powerful for child. The homes OF
Mrs. Il. b. Jackson. Burr Oak, Kas., and

are always supplied with DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, and with them,
as with thousands Of others. there
is no substitute for this grand laxative.
II is really more than a laxative, for IL
contains superior tonic properties which

principal diet of the calf for eight
months or year. Factory skim-mllk
should always be pasteurized TO avoid
the spread of tuberculosis. The best
skim.mllk is that which is fresh from
the separator and still warm. Ex-
periments show that 1t is only one
fourth as expensive to raise a calf on
skim-milk as whole milk. Two
pounds of grain with the proper
amount of skim.milk equals one
pound Of butter fat. Buttermilk or
whey may proitably be fed to calves.
Grain for calves should be fed first
while the calf is quite small with
little bran to aid the calf in learning
to eat. High priced concentrates are
unnecessary and give not better re-
suits than corn meal, oats and bran,
ground barley, etc, when fed in
proper combinations. At four to six
weeks a calf has good teeth and can
grind his own feed. A variety Of
feeds is advantageous and best re-
suits will usually be secured from mix
lures.
The following list may serve as a
guide to the calf feeder in making
selections or combinations to suit hig
conditions:
l. Corn meal gradually changed Isl
four to six weeks to shelled corn with
or without bran.
2. Whole oats and bran.
3. Whole oats and corn chop, the
latter gradually replaced by shelled
corn in four to six weeks.
4. Ground barley with bran or
shelled corn.
8. Shelled corn and ground Kafir
corn or sorghum.
6. Whole oats, ground barley and
bran.
Z. A mixture Of 20 pounds OF corn
meal, 20 pounds of oat meal, 20
pounds OF oil meal. 10 pounds of blood
meal and pounds Of bone meal,
changed to corn. oats and bran when
calves are three months old.
8. A mixture Of 5 pounds whole
oats. pounds bran, / pound corn
meal and pound of linseed meal.
The calf may be taught to eat
grain by rubbing little on its mouth
when 1t is through drinking milk.
From this It will soon learn to eat
from the feed box.
The roughage for calves should
first be fed at two or three weeks OF
age when the calf begins to eat grain.
Good clean hay. either timothy, blue
grass, clover or alfalfa, may be used.
Corn silage is an excellent calf feed
when fed in moderate amounts. Good
pasture is an essential after four to
six months Of age, and If the calf is
turned out for only few hours each
day at first scours will be avoided.

Young calves need whole milk for
the first few days. The calf should
always have the first or colostrum
milk OF the COW and be allowed to
nurse the COW until the eighth or
ninth milking. when the milk is
suitable for human food. Feed often
with small amounts to avoid over
feeding. Teach the calf 70 drink and
feed whole milk for at least three
weeks, changing to skim milk diet
gradually.
The amount OF milk fed should he
carefully regulated. A good plan
with the normal calf is to give four
pounds (two quarts) Of whole milk
three times per day, fed sweet and at
blood temperature. In the state of
nature the calf gets milk containing
about three per cent. fat. Our domes-
ticated cows have been bred in some
instances to give nearly twice this
amount. Milk that is too rich may

LARGE DEMAND

Purdue, in an exchange. Do not Of
fer old stock, however, as they are not
desired by the purchasers, and are
more suitable to their owners as
breeders. There is no advantage of
selling of the old stock Of geese, as
they live many years, and the older

purposes, and the young ones bring
better prices in the market.

Goslings may be put up to fatten

they are IL weeks old they will begin
to shed, and will fatten readily then
until the end Of the season. Prevf

Equs and Exercise.

The hens to lay we'll in cold weather
must have plenty Of exercise. II they
are to be confined, give them deep
litter of straw to scratch in, and place
the grain feed in this straw so they
will scratch. Inactive hens will not
lay. 1t is good plan on the farm to
allow the chickens the run OF all the
barns and stables during the day. They
will do no damage at this time and
will secure lot OF feed that would
otherwise go to waste. In securing 1t
they will be compelled to exercise,
which will promote laying, Also, the
barn is dry, warm place for fowls
in winter, and dryness and warmth
are great factors in their health and
productiveness, They can easily be
shut out Of the barn at night.
