DOUCHE is OFTEN NECESSARY
Plan Outlined for Treating Cows for
Sterility and Abortion-Good
Solution In Use.

Frequently the dairyman finds 1t
necessary to use vaginal douche as
a treatment for abortion and sterility
troubles. The following method is
recommended for such cases:
Secure large galvanized pail, four
to six gallons in capacity according
to the size Of the herd, and fit it with
a stop-cock. Buy pure gum horse
stomach tube and fit it to the STOP
cock Elevate the pail until it is about
three feet above the COW so that the
liquid will flow freely. This can be
readily done by making use of the
feeding and litter track If there is one
in the barn. When ready to use the
apparatus, insert the stomach tube
into the vagina, open the stopcock
and allow the douching solution to
flow into it by gravity until 1t Is COM
pletely filled. A very good solution
to use is a / TO $500 or 5000 parts
of permanganate of potash and water.

IMPROVING THE DAIRY STOCK
Ten Commandments Laid Down by
University Of Wisconsin Expert
Discard Improbable Animals.

Professor Humphrey of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin gives the fol
lowing ten commandments for better
dairy stock:
1. Treat cows gently and avoid ex'
element
2. Be regular in time of milking,
3. Keep stables clean, well-lighted
and ventilated.
4. Weigh the milk of each COW at
milking time.
S. Get your neighbor to share with
you in owning a Babcock milk tester,
and test the product of each COW.
6. Discard the animals which have
failed at the end of the year to pay
for their keep.
Z. Breed your cows to purebred,
registered dairy bull from a family
having large and profitable produc
tion of butterfat.
8. Raise we'll the heifer calves from
COWS, which for one or more genera
tons have made large and profitable
production of milk and butterfat.
.. Breed heifers to drop their first
esives ut twenty-four to thirty months
of age. Give COWS six to eight weeks
rest between lactation periods.
10. Join a dairy cattle breeders as
ISOLATION. It will help you keep post
ed and in touch with the best and
most modern ways of managing your
dairy herd.

SEPARATING A THICK CREAM
Swimming Highest Product Leaves
More Skim Milk on Farm for
Hogs, Calves and Fowls.

Farmers will mako more money by
separating a reasonably thick cream
than a thin cream. Swimming high
test cream leaves more skim milk on
the farm to feed to the hogs, calves
and chickens Skim milk utilized in
this way has feeding value of about
35 cents per hundred, while if the
milk is left in the cream, nothing is
realized.
The butter maker usually wants a
cream testing around 35 or Al per cent

is above 40 per cent it is rather diff

can into another or into a vat Cream
testing about IS per cent in the Win

right for buttermaking.

WOODEN BUGLE Is HISTORIC
Instrument That 1t 10 Alleged was
Brought to America by the
Pilgrims.

r. M Bever, living near Hillsboro,
Ind, has bugle. said to have been
made in England early in the seven
teenth century, according to an ex-
change. 1t is three feet long, made
of cedar wood in two sections which
are glued together. 1t is about three
inches in diameter at the base and
tapers uniformly to a point.
Around 1t are ten crude rings made
from sections of buffalo horn. 1t was
brought to America in 1920 by the Pill
grims, 1t Is believed, and tradition
says 1t was carried by the army OF
Miles Standish in the expedition
against the Indians. The earliest au-
thentic account of 1t dates back to
colonial days. It was used at the Bos-
ton tea party and was carried by the
minute men in the battle of Lexington
and Bunker Hill.
At Bunker Hill the instrument was
struck by British musket ball and a
portion of the end was torn away. 1t
was at the siege of Yorktown and
helped to celebrate the surrender Of
Lord CORVALLIS In 1891.
After the war the old bugle was
handed down as all heirloom in the
Bever family. Mrs. Michae, Bever,
the great-grandmother of the present
owner, died in Tazewell county, Illinois,
IS years ago, when she was one hun.
dred and four years old. She came in.
to possession of the bugle when very
small girl, and later prepared his.
tory of it. Upon her death the old
heirloom was kept for time by Jo.
seph Bever, an old tanner of Hillsboro,
and 1t then passed into the hands Of
l.. NJ. Cooper and wife Of Waynetown,
from whom r. M. Bever received 1t
five years ago.

POWER OF THE SUBMARINE
60 Far 40 Its Guns Are Concerned,
II 10 Just About the Weakest
Thing Afloat.

The first and most striking fact
about the submarine Is its capacity to

are adversely commanded.
But, once in those waters, the
power of the submarine is extraordt
narily limited. Indeed, its capacity to
enter those waters can also be limit.
ed. The use of nets, of mines and OF
patrols-especially when assisted by
aircraft-these, at any focal point
which submarines coming or going
must pass, can do much to obstruct
their free passage. The narrower the
waters the easier their control by
these means, and even In comparative.
ly open waters great destruction can
be ard has been done by surface craft
upon them.
Apart, altogether, from the dangers
to which the submarine is exposed,
what is its value when 1t Is at work
in hostile waters? 1t has two weap-
ons-the torpedo and the gun. 1t can
carry but few torpedoes-few, that is.
compared with the number of rounds
of gun ammunition that 1t can stow
away. The torpedo, too, is an uncer-
tain weapon at the best Of times, par
ticularly uncertain when aimed while
the submarine Is submerged.
Wherever 1t is possible, then, the
captain of the submarine has done his
work with his guns. But as gunned
ship, Arthur H. Pollen writes in the
North American Review, the subma.
rine is the weakest thing afloat. Hence
it's guns can be used only against I'm.
armed craft. 1t dare not approach any
armed ship on the surface at all. II 1t
has to approach an armed ship sub
merged, it's speed Of approach Is great
ly limited. The highest submerged
speed does not exceed the half-power
speed of the slowest warship. Hence
speed and high standard of vigilance
in ships which are armed make them
altogether immune from submarine at
tack except in rare cases, when, by
pure chance, their course takes them
within the submarines striking radius.
The point is that If the ship is armed
the submarine must keep submerged,
and If it keeps submerged it's maneu-
vering speed is low, its capacity to get
within striking distance is very limit
ed, and its weapon very uncertain. II
the ship 1t intends to strike IL both

to the submarine and the intensity of
the vigilance are increased. and the
danger from submarines becomes NJ

GUARD AGAINST LATE FR0STS
to Be Adopted by Every Farmer
to Protect His Trees.

There are cheap and effective meth.
DDS of combating late frosts, so far as
orchards are concerned, and they
ought to be adopted by every farmer.
The smudge fire is as cheap and re.
liable means as may be needed, or
one may go to the expense of proyd-
ing metal heaters If a profitable crop
is expected.
A half dozen smudge fires for an
acre orchard, or for each acre, will
probably be sufficient. This is merely
matter of few hours work through
the last two or three frosty nights of
spring.
When we consider that an acre Of
fruit is worth from 5000 to $500, the
trouble of keeping UP few little fires
around the orchard for six or eight
hours seems triEing.
