HoUsE-CLEANING FOR COWS

Before the dairy COW is taken from
the pasture, the barn should be
thoroughly and Systematically clean
ed, says G. w. Gehrand, of the dairy
and. animal husbandry division at the
Minnesota Experiment station. All
cobwebs should be brushed down and
the walls and ceiling should be white
washed or painted some light color.
Either whitewash or paint will give a
clean surface and make the whole
stable look brighter and lighter. 1t
might be well, too, to put in a few ex-
ira windows.
The dairy cow has had the freedom
of the pasture and the fresh air of the
fields for the last five months; she
has practically maintained herself and
produced milk upon succulent feed !;
she will soon be returned to the barn
where she will spend the greater part
of each day. 1t should be the aim of
every keeper to see to it that his cows
are housed as comfortably as possible
and provided with a goodly quantity
and variety of palatable feed that will
nourish her abundantly and help her
produce an even flow of milk.
The right kind of a COW will repay
with interest every cent invested for
her comfort--for warmth, light, venti-
lation, and feed. If she is not comfor-
tably housed her returns will be cut
down in proportion to her discomfort.

ALTON WILL EXHIBIT-SPEC-
IAL PRIZES GIVEN

Everything is in readiness for the
Third Annual Corn and Alfalfa Ex-
position to be held at Ortonyille, Oct.
13-14-15, 1915. The big tents are in
place, the streets are rapidly assum-
ing a festive appearance, the exhibits
are coming in-the entire town in fact
seems to be living in a fever of expec-
fancy. Everyone is predicting the
largest Corn and Alfalfa Exposition
ever held.
The exposition this year has been
made much more inclusive than were
its predecessors. There will be oppor-
tunity for entering grain, also for an
Individual farm exhibit to take in all
the products of the farm. With the
splendid crop of grain, and the large
acreage of Corn and Alfalfa there
should be an exhibit which will do
credit to the entire northwest.
The program this year will be di-
vided into general sections-dairy Sec
ton, beef section, drainage section,
rural school section, entertainment
section, etc. Each forenoon will be
devoted to departmental sessions. The
meetings will be presided over by well
known experts and will give the Wis
itor a chance to hear the best on the
subject which to him or her is the most
interesting. In the afternoon and ev-
ening there will be short programs

 The officer declares both submarines flew the Austrian flag, but several other survivors affirm that the flag was struck and replaced by the Ger man coIors as soon as the liner was s1gnted.
 The nearest submarine was about 300 feet long and carried three-inch guns on her bow and stern. The other submarine drew across the Anconass bow to prevent any attempt to escape Continuing the Ancona's officer says:
 .'At the first shots the captain of the Ancona ordered out the boats. The eighth boat hardly had touched the water when the liner sank by the head, engulfng the remainder of the passengers and crew who had taken refuge on the poop deck.
 ''The eight boats, keeping together, steered southerly course. After travelling some distance they sighted a ship with her lights out. The sur vivors lighted flares and the ship ap- preached them but the submarines,
