RAISING CALVES BY HAND
GOOD CALVES ARE RAISED ON
SKIM.MILK AND GRAIN.

hoofs and horns; while the ash, which
also remains in the skim.miik, is used
for building the bones. The fat in the
milk does not go TO form growth in
the animal, but furnishes heat and
fat. A substitute for the fat can be
supplied much cheaper with grains,
such as corn.

ing is called colostrum. II is i'm

SOME SYSTEM IS NECESSARY
Poultrymen Should Keep Books, Same
as In Any Other Line Of Business
1t Stops Leaks.

Poultry keeping Is a business
and should be conducted along
business lines. Some system Of
accounting is necessary. The poul-
tryman should keep records OF all
the income and expenses Of his bust
ness in order to know whether it is a
paying proposition or not II II does
not pay he should know Il and either
stop the leak or go out OF business.
An elaborate system of bookkeeping
Is not necessary. II the poultryman
wishes TO avoid keeping full accounts
he can at least keep a cash account.
This does not express the exact hnan-
cial condition Of the business. but is
an excellent help so far as it goes.

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The "change Of life is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of sufocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. IL
inyigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

nice picture? Are the trees all box
elders and soft naples with their
heads knocked off? A friend once told
me of a tribe OF Indians who chose to
name their babies after the first OBJ
jcct that seemed to attract that baby's
attention. So it was that baby was
often called Eagles Feather" Grey
Wolf" or Running Dog" Alasl If
we followed that practice now, our
babies would mostly be called Tin
Can" or Dirty Backyard"
Now is the time to clean up the
yard and make 1t a credit to the com.
muuty. Let us plan little. To
make your corn grow you have 10
pillow the ground, ferti!!ze the soil,
plant new seed and hoe out the
weeds If you want a nice lawn-and
there is nothing quite 30 beautiful
you must do the same thing; not
quite so often, but at least once In
ten or fifteen years.
First. get rid of the box elders and
soft naples whose topr are brittle,
whose seeds and leaves drop all sum
mer and do not decay quickly. Their
roots grow near the surface forming
an impenetrable mat, sapping all the
soil food and moisture that belongs
to the grass. Moreover, these trees
are really dangerous in stormy
weather because OF the fragibility
of their limbs.
Ii grading the lawn-and that is
the first thing to do-the earth
should slope gently away from the
base Of the house to the edge of the
yard. By all means avoid terraces.
They are costly to maintain and are
not nearly as beautiful as a contin.
Gus even slope Plow deep, harrow,
drag and roll. Rake out the sticks
and stones. Then plant the seed. Use
about four bushels to the acre, mix
| ing as follows: To one bushel Of blue
| grass add two and one-half pounds of
white alsike clover. The clover is
very important for Missouri soils
since II protects the blue grass until
: # becomes established and furnishes
much needed nitrogen 10 the soil. If
the ground is shady or damp add one

A Russian Baby.

A traveller from Russia says that
Russian babies In Siberia are not
very attractive. He says that one
day he noticed in one of the houses
a curious bundle on shelf; another
hung from a peg in the wall, and a
third hung by rope from the raft
ers-this one the mother was swing
ing. The traveller discovered that
each curious bundle was a child; the
one in the swinging bundle was the
Youngest. The traveller looked at the
little baby and found 1t so dirty that
he exclaimed in disgust, why do
you not wash it?" The mother looked
horror-stricken. and calculated, Wash
it! Wash the baby! Why, it would

STA would be for some boys! Never

TO live-to live happily, healthily and

In the opinion of Cleveland public
school officials this is the fundamental
thing under the educational system.
And 1t is the object of extension work
undertaken for this school term. me
establishment of new department OF
school hygiene and the extension or
school social centers throughout the
city are designed to accomplish the
single result of teaching children how
to grow mentally and physically In
way most interesting to the children
themselves.
What shall it profit a child to gain
an education and lose his health?" is
the question asked by DR.. e. A. Peter
son. head of the hygiene department,
In urging parents to lend their en-
enlargement and active assistance.
Within a few weeks social center
clubs will have been formed In every
Cleveland public school Mrs. Sarah
w. Hyre, principal of Brownell school,
long a Cleveland teacher and champ
ion of this work, took the lead by
aiding the organization of three clubs
for boys and girls to study civics.
The building will be open at night to
the clubs and the childrens parents.
Virtually the whole community about
Brownell school will engage in the
study of civics through the winter
months.
In the broad work for hygiene the
increasing prevalence of ocular trouble
is to be combatted through co-opera-
ton with every outside agency.
I'VE have known for years that
ocular trouble increases in schools
from the first to the eighth grades"
said Doctor Peterson. but why 1t is.
no one has ever explained. We wish
to study this trouble and correct it.
We may find 1t is due to the wrong
color of paper or the size Of type.
Also, we will find out what causes
nervous disorders among pupils. We
will make the boy and girl SO inter
ested in the schoolroom that they will
be happiest there, because they will
see that to live and study rightly will
make them grow into strong men and
women"
The department of hygiene COM
bines with the regular medical inspec-
ton instruction in school nursing, per-
sonal and public hygiene, physical
