BRITISH CHASE
THE INVADERS
Latter Were Pursued By Aeroplanes
But Succeeded In Making Their
Escape-Little Material Damage
Was Done By the Bombs

South End, Eng, May 81, 1885 A.
M.-Another Zeppelin airship raid was
made upon this town last night and it
lis reported that three persons were
killed by bombs which were dropped.
The entire town was Illuminated by
the bursting of shells dropped by the
aircraft The material damage caused
appears to have been less than on the
occasion of the last raid. Among the
killed was Mrs. May Fabin, who was
here on visit. A number of people,
however, were injured.
Some reports say that two and
others three Zeppelins took part in the
raid. 1t is, however, impossible TO
give the number accurately because of
the heavy cloud through which the
moon shone but duly at the time of
the attack
Some of the Missiles Incendiary
The noise of the propellers of the
airships was first heard shortly before
IL o'clock. Then came at once the
shock of the explosions as the bombs
rained down from above. Some of the
missiles were incendiary and threw out
bright flares of light
Crowds assembled in the streets of
South End to view the raiders. The
killing of Mrs. Fabin occurred while
the woman was leaving street car. 1t
is recalled that on the previous raid
the only victim was woman.
British aeroplanes went up in pur.
suit of the raiders but were not sue
cessful in overtaking them. Some time
later two Zeppelins were seen over
Burnham- on Crouch, seven miles to the
northeast of South End, but no more
bombs were dropped

The Newest Discovery in Chemistry

This is a recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce. who is head of the Invalid's
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Or. Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric
acid that can be compared to it. For
those easily recognized symptoms of
infammation-as backache, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in the urine, or If uric
acid in the blood has caused rheuma-
tism, 1t is simply wonderful how sure
ly "Anuric" acts. The best of results are
always obtained in cases of acute
rheumatism in the joints. in gravel
and govt, and invariably the pains and
stiffness which so frequently and per-
sistently accompany the disease rap
idly disappear.

productions of milk and butterfat.
Breed heifers at the age of sixteen
to twenty months.
Feed heifers literally and milk regu.
larly.
Do not try to save feed by turning
to pasture too early.
Provide plenty of pure. fresh water,
shade and protection against flies dur

Supplement poor pastures with corn
silage or green soiling crops like rye,
peas, oats, green corn fodder, cabbage
and other available feed.
Feed cows daily one pound of grain
in winter for every three pounds of
milk produced, 25 to 40 pounds of
corn silage, and what clover or alfalfa
hay they will eat.
Do not turn COWS out to remain and
suffer in cold, stormy weather.
Allow them to have water which is
not colder than that from deep well
twice or three times daily.
Brush cows daily if you can possibly
ind the time, for it pays better than
does grooming of horses, which as a
rule is not neglected.
Keep COWS in clean, well-lighted,
properly-ventilated stables.
Treat COWS gently and avoid excite
ment.
Weigh the milk of each COW at milk

Get your neighbors to share with

ESTABLISH THE MILK FLOW
Best Time Is When Cow Is Fresh and
Should Take From Three to Four
Weeks-Feed Literally.

The time to establish the milk flow
Of the cow is when she is fresh. It
should take three to four weeks to
bring her to a full flow OF milk and to
eating full ration. There is no other
time in the period of lactation when
care and judicious feeding have a more
important bearing upon her years rec
ord.
The dairy COW should be fed liber-
ally, but care should be taken not to
overfeed her and carry her beyond her
capacity. This works injury not
only to her milk function, but to her
breeding powers.
