statements published irresponsibly as this seems to be are likely to create very wrong impression and do harm with farmers.
 of the five thousand women placed on the land, a large proportion are town girls. Artists, actresses. typists, daughters of doctors, solicitors and generals, trained and took their place on the land at the beginning of the war, and are still there.

GROUND MILO |S
 GOOD FUR CALVES

Skim milk is the main feed for calves. It is much cheaper than whole milk, for one may substitute the but ter fat, which costs approximately 23 cents a pound, or $40 per ton, with grains worth one-tenth this amount. 1t has been found that ground milo maize, ground oats with the kernal sifted out, or almost any other grain is especially good for replacing the but ter fat in the skim milk. It should be mentioned, however, that whole milk is an ideal ration for calves, but it is too expensive, as fat has high com mercial value and dairy calves may be raised with it. Skim milk is not a good ration, for it contains too much pro- tein and not enough fat. They should have some food that takes the place of fat. Alfalfa hay is recommended while cake meal or blood meal are poor supplementary feeds for skim milk On the other hand, corn meal, milo maize, Kafir corn, ground oats, oat- meal, flaXseed or other foods rich in starch or fats are especially suitable to improve skim milk for young calves. As staEch is the cheapest food and can be converted into fat, it will be ad- visable to use as much of it as is con- sistent with good feeding.
 Feeding calves on skim milk is an art and great care is necessary to make certain that the calves secure the proper nutriment for their growth. Calves fed on skim milk do not as a rule look as vigorous and slick as those fed on whole milk. The skim milk calves. however, will make a vigorous growth and should develop into just as useful cows as those fed on the more expensive feeds.
