THE COW AND HER PRODUCTS.
Clemson College Weekly Notes for
Farmers and Dairymcn.

(These notes are prepared by the
dairy division of Clemson College,
which will be glad to answer any
questions pertaining to dairying).
The calf should be fed some grain
such as corn meal by the time it is
two weeks old
There are laws to protect MANY
sorts OF animals from hunters. but
no laws to protect good dairy calves
from butchers.
Farmers who had silage to feed to
their cows this winter know now the
value of succulent winter feed.
A calf should not be fed whole milk
after 1t has reached the age of four
weeks. AT two weeks. begin to re-
place whole milk by warm skim
milk.
III calf Is to be dehorned it should
be dehorned when not more than
three days old, with caustic potash.
1t is just as important to feed
the calf from a clean bucket as it is
to use clean bucket for milking.
Calf scours are due to overfeeding,
feeding cold milk. or using dirty
milk. Avoiding these things is gen.
orally to avoid scours.
To obtain the best results, one
should provide warm stalls for calves
and not subject them to sudden
changes in temperature.
One Of the most frequently asked
questions is. when to wean the calf
1t should be weaned by the time it
is three days old.
1t would seem that every man
would realize the folly Of having the
profits Of good dairy herd eaten up
by few "boarders," which he could
easily discover and eliminate from
the herd.
In all dairy breeds will be found
champion mixers. good mixers and
boarders. The successful dairy herd
Is more q matter of feeds than of
breeds. In every breed will be found
both we'll bred and i'll bred animals.
Clemson College will be glad to
answer any questions about the
methods Of the cooperative cream
cry. The creamery is about to es-
tablish two new cream routes which
will add rs to 35 patrons and about
IT'S cows.
Try to bring about such conditions
in the dairy herd and dairy house
that at the end OF each month some
change for the better can be noticed.
Make 1t your aim to have a herd
that never stops improving.

VERY MUCH IN WRONG BATH"

Smythes mistake, which is de scribed in an English contemporary. must have been disconcerting, to say the least.
 You'll find your bath in the out 'ouse."
 Thus he had been directed the night before at the little inn where he was stopping, and that is why he was now in his dressing gown, pushing open the outhouse door It was dark, but there was the tub, and it would do. He hopped in. In the middle of his ablutions the red-faced landlord thrust his head in at the door In the dim light he failed to see the man in the tub.
 Water quite nicely warm, thanks, 2 observed Smythe, but it's a trifie muddy"
 Muddy he hanged!" roared the landlord, bursting in suddenly. Your tubs in the next place. Git out of you blitherin' idiot! Not a word of this in the 'ouse! That's my ome- brewed ale you're a-washin' int"

VILLAS ACTIONS
 PUZZLE CARRANzA
FIVE HUNDRED TROOPS REPORT ED TO HAVE REACHED NACO
 FROM AGUA PRIETA.

Douglas, Ariz. Whether Gen
 Francisco Villa intends to press home
 his attack on Agua Prieta or pass up the border town and play for big
 ger game, the western coast cities Of Guaymas and Mazatlin, which would
 give him ports for securing much needed supplies, is a problem that Is
 puzzling both the American army ot- ficers here and the Carranza forces in Agua Prieta.
 The Villa army began to move from Agua Prieta toward Naco and that town reported 800 Villa troops al.
 ready had reached there Approxi- mately 4,O00 others were reported by
 train passengers as having been ,een
 along the road leading toward Naco.
 It is known, too, that Villa agents have been endeavoring to purchase
 much needed supplies of flour and corn, and preparations have been
 made at Naco to take care of those
 wounded in the fight around Agua Prieta-
 On the other hand. Gen. Gales scouts report that the main body of Villas army. re-enforced during the day by an unknown number of men from the east, is still within a few miles of Agua Prieta- Villa has sue ceeded in getting near to water sup ply at Calladones and Anavacachi pass and limited food supplies also have reached him.
 Every prepar@-.on was made in
 Agua Prieta for another attack Gen.
 Ruston, commanding American forces, also made preparations by posting | troops at vantage points in Douglas and moving them away from imme- diate contact with the border Strict
 orders have been issued to keep
 residents of Douglas far away from
 the international line.
 This was merely a precautionary measure. The general opinion among American army officers is that Villa has fooled the Carranza forces; that he merely nibbled at Agua Prfeta, and finding it much tougher than he ex. pected, will now ignore 1t, with its much coveted supplies of provisions and ammunition, and after his army IS ! thoroughly rested and provisioned Win strike down through Hermosillo and
 Magdalena to the west coast for campaign of much greater import ance
 A brief interview between Gen. Funston and Gel Villa took place over the barbed wire fence marking the international line, a short distance from Agua Prieta- At that time Gen. Villa assured Gen. Fusion that he
 wished to avoid bringing American troops into the conflict What else was said is not known Gen. Fun. ston will not talk.

GREECE POLICY
 IS UNCERTAIN
IT IS CLAIMED SERViAN NORTH ERN ARMY IS BEING SLOWLY
 BUT SURELY CUT DOWN.

London-While Greece hesitates the Servian northern army Is being slowly but surely ground down before the combined pressure of the Azstro- German and Bulgarian forces. The fate of Nish hangs by a hair, and it Is only at the southern end Of the battle front that the Bulgars are meeting with any reyerses. There, ac, cording to reports, the British are CO operating with the French, but as half these reports are unofficial and frag- mentary. it cannot be said authorita- lively whether the British are in touch with their new enemy.
 If the Bulgar-Teuton tide is turned, the best opinion here is that 1t will be some weeks hence. involving Q pc riod of uncertainty such as preceded the stand before Paris and on the Yser. But giving the entente powers a months time, it is argued that they can throw 300,000, and perhaps 550,- 900 men into Servia, not including Russians, and with such force not only dispute the advance of the central powers, but contest Bulgaria's occu- patton of Servian Macedonia.
 The Germans remain on the defen- sive in the east and west. Neither theater has developed any large oat ties, as modern battles are reckoned.
 The Turks continued active in the Dardanelles region, as is recorded m British official communication from tte Gallipol Peninsula. This says the Turks launched attacks against the British right in the Anzac region, put that they did not dent the British lines.

For obstinate sores use Hanfords Balsam. Adv.
Ancients Used Gas Marian.

The earliest use of deleterious gases in siege warfare is recorded in the history of the Peloponnesian wers from 431 to 404 B. c. During this struggle between the Athenians and Spartans and their respective allies the cities of Platea and Delium were besieged.
 Wood saturated with pitch and suy- phur was set on fire and burned under the walls of these cities in order ta generate choking and poisonous fumes which would stupefy the defenders and render the task of the attacking forces less difficult.

Alleged Violations of American Rights Presented to Great Brtain-Eng- land Held U S. to Account
 When Latter Was Fighting.

Washington-The United States, In it's latest note to Great Britain, made public here, covering exhaus lively British interference with Amer ican trade since the beginning of the European war, declares that the so- called blockade instituted by the al lies against enemy countries on March II is ineffective, illegal and indefen- sible" Notice is served that the government cannot submit to the curtailment of it's neutral rights" and it cannot with complacence suffer and interests"
 Ambassador Page. to whom the note was sent by special messenger for de- livery to the London foreign office, was instructed by Secretary Lansing ito impress most earnestly" upon the British government that the United States must insist that the relations between it and his majesty's govern ment be governed not by a policy of expedieney, but by those established rules of international conduct to which Great Britain in the past has held the United States to account when the latter nation was belliger- ent engaged in struggle for nation al existence"
 Declaring the United States "un- hesitatingly assumes" the task of championing the integrity of neutral rights, the note proclaims that the American government will devote it's energies to the task, exercising al ways an impartial attitude.
 The note. nearly 15,000 words in length, was made pubic by agreement between the State Department and the British Foreign Office. It carries with it a yoluminous appendix, giving the text of American naval instruc- tions issued in 1862 and summary and table showing hundreds of yes sels detained by British authorities since the beginning of the present war.
