BEST TIME FOR FREsHENING
Several Good Reasons for Having
Cows Drop Calves During Months
Of September and October.

It is generally held by breeders that
It is best to have cows freshen in the
months of September and October.
There are several reasons for having
cows calve at this time. First, the coz
will produce more milk when she
freshens in the fall instead Of in the
spring; second, the prices for dairy
products are higher during the winter
months than in summer; third, calves
born in the fall may be turned out to

Very little is known as to the depth
to which a ship will sink, as the
depth at which observations can be

ships, many did not sink, but became

read slowly. He had broken the seal
slowly. 1t was the first letter he had
ever seen in this handwriting. It was
written in French and ran thus:

Brunei found them when he came in

the new departure.

You will take with you neither horses

1t was an order from the minister OF
war, Just such one as was sent to
some half-dozen other young officers,
all of whom, no doubt, felt more or
less discounted
Sabron twisted the telegram, put it
in the fireplace and lighted his ciga-
rette with it, watching Pitchoune who,
finding himself comfortable corner
in the armchair, had settled down for
nap.
So" nodded the young man aloud.
Il shall not even have Pitchoune"
He smoked, musing. In the rigid dis
cipline of his soldiers life he was used
to obedience. His softened eyes, how
ever, and his nervous fingers as they
pulled at his mustache, showed that
the command had touched him.
What shall I do with you, old fel-

Although Sabron's voice was low,

his paws, turned his bright brown
eyes on his master with so much con-
