DAIRY NOTES

Consider records more than appear
ance in buying COW.
The sun dispels foul odors and
makes the air sweet and wholesome.
There is more money in a good
mixer than in any other man on the
farm.
Be sure that the calves get all the
sunshine that is coming to them this
winter
Thorough milking tends to develop
cows udder and increase her milk ca
pacity.
Train the youngsters to lead. No
heifer should reach her first birthday
unbroken to the halter.
The brush and comb are just as
necessary to dairy success in winter
as the milk pail and scales.
Where more than two COWS are
MIXED, the calves should not be al.
lowed to suck after the first day.
Few schemes Of farming can sue
ceed with the cow eliminated, and the
better the cow the larger the profits.
II you curry the old co with the
Enilk,lt: stool, don't get mad if she
messages you in the ribs with her
hind leg.

Business was very brisk, so the firm
appointed Patrick foreman, position
Of which he was very proud.
He was always fussing around, or
dering this and altering that. One
morning his gang of men stopped
work because they heard the we'll
known voice Of their new foreman
shouting loudly.
Down below on the ground stood
Pat, yelling Justify, and waving his
arms wildly.
"Oi say, you, up there!" he shout

Removal of Old Bridge and

OMAHA, .Neb., Dec. 23-The old
steel bridge of the Union Pacific rail-
way over the Missouri river between
Omaha and Council Bluffs, which had
been in service for thirty years, was
today removed and replaced by new
steel bridge which had been built on
falsework alongside the old one.
The actual operation of removing
the old bridge. which weighed 5,5 00,-
900 pounds and putting in place the
new which weighed 11,200,000
pounds, required fifteen minutes
four and q half minutes for removal
OF the old, and ten and -opa-haIss Tatn-
sutes to replace it with the new. Five
hoisting engines equipped with block
and tackle were used. Union Pacific
officials said the work was an un-
usual engineering feat.
The work of removal began at
II 10 O'Clock in the morning with
200 men and was finished at 3:40
in the afternoon. Delay was occa-
stoned by the breaking of the lash
ings. An hour after the bridge was
in place trains were running over
1t.
A certain historical value attaches
to the Place, for 1t was here that the
pioneers first crossed the river on

Information as to Their Exact
Meaning is Whole Purpose
of Wilson's Action.
WANTS FULL INFORMATION
United States Does Know What
Terms Would Be Re-
quired by Nations.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Informa-
ton as to their exact meaning in seek
ing Gust and permanent peace" is
the whole purpose of the note adj
dressed to all the belligerentS by Pres
ident Wilson. The United States de-
sires full, practical and detailed
statement from each Of the govern
what follows, was stated officially to-
day for the administration:
This government does not know and
feels that it has been given no rear
means of knowing, of what terms
would be required by each of the bel
ligerentS TO make peace. 1t regards
the recent speeches of the leading
statesmen in all countries as vague
and underlined and sees nothing in
them that would enable conference
to draw up treaty. All speak of the
rights of small nations, the repugnance
of conquest, and the guarantees Of a
permanent peace, but no one nation
has yet gone into what it means by
those phrases in way that the gov
ernment of the United States can IN
derstand.
Wants France to Tell.
Recent press comment has been TAX
en- to enhance that vagueness. France,
for.instance, has not disclosed il what
it considers just peace means the
evacuation OF its northern provinces,
or in addition to that the restoration OF
Alsace-Lorraine, or if in addition 10
both those claims it expects money
indemnity for the damage of invasion,
or beyond that il it has an actual pro-
gram for doing away with so-called
German mflitarism In short, the
United States asks what would it ac-
cept today as the basis of peace.
Similar issues apply to all the bellig-
erent nations merely in a varying
form. What President. Wilson wants
is their details. AS the largest neutral
facing grave problems, and as the
friend of all parties concerned, the
United States feels most earnestly that
IL is slentitIed to know those facts. I'm
less some one of the groups lays down
its actual terms, there will be no basis
for negotiation and no possibility Of
peace till the world is bled whole,
officials declare.
Wants Starting Place.
There is not the slightest expecta-
ton here that the terms laid down will
be reconcilable at first. 1t is known
that some of the nations will demand
what in actuality is impossible New
ertheless the naming of those terms
will afford basis Of negotiition, a
starting place from which The con-
alcting interests can begin to converge.
Nor is any embarrassment seen to
any OF the nations in naming such
terms. 1t is understood in advance
that thev are ant to fiuctuate with the
military changes and are not perman.
emily binding under new conditions.
Whatever any nation feels must be In
cluded in its terms for moralness can
also be added to the terms without en-
barrassment, 1t is said.
Ready tn Enter Agreement.
AS to permanent guarantees. 1t was
officially declared that the United
States stands ready to enter any kind
