WOMEN SOLDIERS. =

WOMEN SOLDIERS. - ''Women
Begin War Drills Today" That's the
headline of one of the trust press.
God forbid that the men have come
to such degeneration that women
shall take their place on the firing
line in organized multitudes. Women
will serve the needs equally valuable
as nurses, munition makers and
many other fields. But not on the
firing line.
If many women took up the rifle
and fought with their husbands in
Serbia or other countries it was only
an exceptional case, where organiza-
ton of men had almost ceased-or,
at least, these women fought by their
husbands, brothers or immediate kin.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
A MILK BOYCOTT. - If the Ma
donal Housewives league lis organ
led in Chicago, why has no action
been taken in boycotting the milk
firms that are raising the price of
milk to 9 cents.
Babies must have milk, but we
gTown-ups could get along on con-
densed milk, provided the condensed
milk made by Chicago firms also was
boycotted.
A complete boycott would not be
necessary, but the amount of milk
formerly consumed could be reduced
to half and condensed milk of an
out-of-state firm substituted.
This plan would more than equal
tze the present increase, as a 10-cent
can of condensed milk will last sew
eral days.
The milk firms by selling only half
Of the milk formerly sold would be
compelled to reduce the price to
cents again and no one would suffer
any hardships by the boycott.
The boycott is the only weapon
that can be used by the housewife
to reduce the high cost of living, but
there must be concerted action.
Since our lawmakers will not re-
duce the high cost of living, we must
preach boycott to the housewives

The case of the above much-herald-
ed bookcases" is entirely different.
Woman never was or will be the
equal of man physically; it is impos-
sibIe for her to stand the hardships
of long march. What courage shall
a tired, broken-down feminine crea-
ture have to meet a vigorous foe?
The moral or sex end of the mat
ter is too ridiculous to discuss in
writing. 1t does not require much
imagination to get a mental picture
of it. Let the women have the vote.
But also let wise women stick to
womanly vocations. The feminine
rocky is not a sport, it's a folly

THE FLAG.-PubIc schools and
all other public utilities should be
conducted in the interest of the COM
munity. The public school should
be a place where pupils should be
taught reading, spelling, arithmetic,
grammar, science and studies lead
ing to civilization, not barbarism.
Americanism means humanitari-
anism, not spoIiation. The American
flag is beautiful and reads peace, lib
erty and justice, and should proudly
wave for that purpose wherever it be
raised.
No American is opposed to the
flag, but rather to the way it is used
and to the folks who use it for a pur-
pose it was not meant for. Mother
Martha Washington would kick like
the crank of a gasoline engine were
she alive and knew for what purpose
her beloved flag was used. She never
meant for it to be used as an meter
of murder and an ever-ready tool for
the money getters.
Things are not going just right in
this world, where fathers, mothers,
brothers, sisters, sons and daughters
separate or fight and kill each other

DAIRYMEN VERSUS THE DAIRY

that the dairyman is the chief factor
and the dairy of secondary importance
The clean dairyman may be trans.
ported from dairy to dairy and can
make clean milk wherever he goes.
It is said that il all the nonessentials
or matters Of secondary importance
are eliminated, the factors which even
alone are sufficient to produce under
the conditions found in ordinary
diaries a milk so clean that 1t will
have with great regularity q bacterial
count less than 10000 bacteria per
cubic centimeter are as follows:
Milking with dry hands into covered
milking pals, the proper washing and
sterilization of milking pals and milk
cans, cooling the milk by placing the
cans in tanks of cold water or ice wa
ter, regular laboratory testing OF the
milk for bacteria, and payments based
on the laboratory tests.

DAIRY HERD IN WINTER
First Essential Is That Cows Be
Kept Comfortable.
RIuht Kind Of Feed Goes Long Way
Toward Bringing About contented
state Of Mind--SeveraI I'M
portant Fsctoro.
(By w. M. KELLY

| Good stable management Is an i'm
| portant factor In determining the
| profits from the dairy herd during the
winter. The first essential is that the
| cows be comfortable, because cow
kept otherwise can never do her best.
She must have comfortable place
| to- lie down, stand up, move and
stretch her limbs and lick herself all
over the body. She must have SUM-
shine and plenty Of light. She must
have pure air to breathe, and this
means that the stable must be pro-
vided with some system Of ventila-
ton to give frequent change Of air.
This need not be expensive, only
little forethought and a few dollars
worth Of material and labor. She
must have good pure water at least
twice day, or better still. have an
automatic water basin at her side.
The stable should be cleaned daily.
and be thoroughly disinfected. The
ceiling, floor and sides should be all
smooth and of concrete construction,
and the fixtures largely iron. 1t is not
Il
expensive, and they are sanitary and
permanent.
Large, smooth concrete hangers for
feeding are about the best we know
OF today, Judgment and common
sense must be exercised in the meth
DDS OF feeding and handling the COWS.
Fixed rules in feeding are not prac-
tical.
Overlooking is wasteful; underfeed-
Ing is Improbable. The cows must be
well nourished at all times, but II
given more than they need for main
tenance and production, they waste
It as . rule.
Never stir up dust or foul odors at
milking time. II you do lot of 1t
is sure to get into the milk.
Whether to feed the cows just be-
fore milking is much debated ques-
ton. 1t is not at all dangerous to
feed them little grain, provided you
stir up no dust or disagreeable odors.
As a rule, the cows will give down
their milk more freely when they have

E:ontented minds. and little Of the
fright kind OF feed goes long way
toward bringing about this contented
state Of mind. Never clean the stables
just before milking, for it will stir up
a tenfold worse odor than any feed
the cows will eat.
Surrounding conditions have much
to do with the milk producing value OF
any ration.
Dairy cows cannot make as good
use Of whole grain as they can OF
grain that has been ground.
+ In the generality Of cases, heifers
with their first calf do not show as
high a test of butterfat as they do at
a moro mature age.
A period OF rest before freshening
will usually produce a larger flow OF
milk than where the animal is MIXED
close up to calving.
A man can better afford to sell but
ter at the cost OF production than to
sell grain. that is, when the selling
price Of the butter includes the feeds
and labor at their market value.

CACTUS GOOD FOR THE cows
Plant, Better known In Southwest a.
PrickIy Pear, Tends to Increase
the MIX Flow.

Cactus, or prickly pear. the name i
goes by in the Southwest, has been
found a good feed for dairy cows The
government has investigated its mer-
its and drawbacks with these results:
1t responds to cultivation, and after
two years growth from old roots Will
yield as high as 100 tons per acre with
an average Of about forty tons. IN
Texas experiment, steers required Do
pounds of the prickly pear and two
and one-half pounds of cottonseed
meal to make one pound OF gain.
When planted artificially and culti-
waited cactus does well In rows eight
feet apart with the plants 80 inches
apart in the rows. Planting the rows
six feet apart was found to be too
close for convenient cultivation on &C
count of the rapid growth OF the cac-
tus.
Dairy COWS fed prickly pear singed
in the field with gasoline torch ito
burn off the spines) gave more milk
than cows receiving an ordinary ra-
ton, but the milk was lower In but
terfat. Prickly pears are exceedingly
succulent. They had no influence on
the flavor OF milk or quality Of but
ter. Nor, as has been the belief of
some dairymen in southern Texas. did
the prickly pear injure the keeping
quality of milk.
The cost of burning the spines on
the pears" was found to be about nifty
cents per ton. One and two-thirds
gallons of gasoline and SO minutes
time were needed to SINCE one ton. A
cheaper way is to burn the spines on
over brush fire, but this is practical
only when small amounts are fed.

HOW TO GROW BLAcKBERRIEs
Fruit Will Not Thrive in Dry Places,
Plenty Of Moisture Is Needed
Cultivate Constantly.

Blackberries need plenty OF mois-
ture and it will not pay to plant them
on the top OF some dry knoll; for the
fruit will not grow to perfection in
such dry places, ard it will be hard
and sour. Choose place where the
ground is of good quality, and where
there is plenty Of moisture.
Prepare the ground thoroughly by
blowing and narrowing before plant
ing, and make the ground mellow
down quite deep where you set the
plants. You canEot be too particular
in this respect you are set
ting them out for profit and not simply
to see whether they will grow or not.
They should be set about four feet
apart one way, and eight feet the
other way.
Keep the ground loose by constant
cultivation, and the sooner you can
get good large bush, the sooner you
will get fruit, and keeping the ground
loose will help to keep 1t moist.

ASHES GOOD AS FERTILIZER
They Not Only Contain Potash and
Phosphoric Acid, but Also
Maanesia and Lime.

The farmer who burns wood for
heating and cooking should carefully
store the ashes and not permit them
to leach, as they have a peculiar fer
tilizing value. They not only contain
potash and phosphoric acid in appre-
ciable amounts, but also contain mag
nesia and lime, and when applied to
the land they also act Indirectly to
increase the available nitrogen con-
tent OF organic matter in the SOIL
Ordinary house ashes contain on
the average about eight or nine per
cent OF potash and two per cent OF
phosphoric acid. investigators have
considered that there Is enough pot
ash and phosphoric acid in = Dushel
cf ashes to make It worth 20 Or Is
cents. Besides that, some 10 or 10
cents additional might be allowed for
the ..alkali power" Of the ashes. This
power IS that which enables ashes to
rot weeds and to ferment peat. The
potash content Of ashes will be lost i
they are permitted to leach. and care
should be taken to store them IN 9
dry place.
