NEGLECT VALUE OF RECORDS
Cow Bought at Low Price Not Always Best lnvestment-Sest to Keep
 Track of Feed and Milk.

Is the cheaper-priced dairy COW necessarily the better investment? The question is well answered in the following instance: A man wishing a COW for dairy purposes called upon a dairyman who kept milk records as well as cost accounts. The buyer con fined his attention to two COWS. One of these would cost him $75, the other S175. The former was in good condi- tion, but the dairy characteristics were not as fully developed as they might have been; the latter was the direct opposite. The records of the two cows were shown the buyer, but he was not as much interested in records as he should have been. He did not consider it worth while to sit down and figure out which would be the bet ter investment

TREATING ULCERS OF CORNEA
Touch All Parts of Sore With Stick of Nitrate of Silver-Bathe With
 Solution of Salt Water.

Ulcers of the cornea in calves may be caused by several things, such as bruises, abscesses, or boards from fox tail; or 1t may be the result of a se- were attack of pink eye. You can tell ulcers of the Cornea from pink eye by means of the discharge. Instead of pus, you will find an acid, watery fluid. If it should be ulcer of the cornea, or ulcers formed by very violent cases of the pink eye, the treatment is about the same. Take a stick of nitrate of silver, sharpen as you would a pencil, get an attendant to hold the head of the calf, keeping the eyelids back, and touch all parts of the ulcer lightly with the stick of silver nitrate Wait few minutes and bathe eyes with a solu- tion of salt water.
 Repeat this operation in about three days. Unless you have a distinct pro- jection on the cornea of the eye, do not use the caustic treatment Bathe several times day with sulphate of zinc, b grains to half pint of soft water. Protect the eyes from flies, sunlight, etc.

FOES START SCHOOL
German Soldiers Teach Children
 in Poland.
Lieutenant HelIwig Writes of Interest ing Experience-Remarkable Prog ress Made by Pupils After
 Discipline Is Established.

Berlin.-Lieutenant Hellwig, who was schoolteacher in Nassau before the war broke out, writes to the Allge- meines Schulblatt, an educational monthly published at Wiesbaden
 We are stationed in a small town east of Warsaw and have very little to do, as we are far behind our front. Recently 1 received orders to organize school for the children of the town. After several conferences with the To- cal authorities l started my work, us- ing the vacant residence of wealthy lumber dealer who had fled to the in- terior of Russia for a schoolhouse. In a storage house I found a number of benches, which formerly had done duty in Jewish private school, and l also procured blackboard and a few other necessary things.
 "The children of the town, most of whom never had been inside of a lice that they would have to present themselves for instruction. About two hundred boys and girls between the ages of six and fourteen years ap- peared and they were a sorry looking lot.
 With dirty faces and unkempt hair the boys noisily rushed into my i'm provised hall of learning. Most of them wore fur caps that had been left behind by Cossacks and their princi- pal garments were large fur coats.
 Although the ground was frozen many of the boys wore no shoes, while the footwear of the others consisted of old knee boots that once belonged to father or mother
 The girls, at least a few of them, were not quite so dirty Some even had combed thEir hair, but their dress consisted of all kinds of old, cast-off garments of adults and only a few wore stockings. Only the Jewish girls were really tidy and their intelligent faces and neat appearance distin- of the crowd.
 Tt was almost impossible to keep the children quiet, but I finally suc- ceeded in getting their attention and started to divide them into classes with the aid of a sergeant who speaks Polish. Most of the Jewish children understood at least some German and l organized them into a special class which ! am instructing myself About forty Polish and Russian boys and girls who have received some instruc- tion in private schools were taken in charge by Lieutenant Harbeck who is trying to educate them with the help of our Polsh-speaking sergeant.
 The rest of the children, about one hundred, were turned over to Polish woman teacher who has been engaged

GIVE COWS SALT REGULARLY
ses7t Plan Is to Have Box Handy Where Animals Can Help Them
 selves Whenever They Wish.

Don't forget to salt the COWS. In experiments it has been found that a COW should have threo-fourths of an ounce of salt day live weight with an additional siX-tenths of an ounce for each twenty pounds of milk pro duced, to keep her in the best of con- dition.
 Animals deprived of salt become emaciated and of low vitality. finally suffering q complete breakdown. Salt should be provided regularly.
 The best plan is to have a box con- taining salt where the animals can get to it whenever they so desire. Either fine salt or rock salt can be used, al- though we prefer the latter.

CATCHES RAT BIG AS CAT
Kentucky Man Thinks a Large Ro- dent Devoured Two Smaller
 Ones in Trap.

Hazard. Ky.-John Sexton tells rat story. He says he baited his rat trap one night and the next morning he found that two of the rodents had be- come ensnared, so he thought he would just let them remain in the trap over the next night. On the second morning John again inspected his trap and found-only one rat, but he, as John described him, was as large as tom cat The two caught on the previous night were of ordinary size full grown John said. There was a mystery. What became of the first two rats you caught?" was asked, and John solemnly declared that the big rat had eaten up the other two. clean ing em up as slick as a button-not leaving hide nor hair"

GET DEFENSE DATA
Experts Will Comb Country for
 Information.
Plan Perfected to Enroll and Classify All the Industries in the United States-Approved by the
 President.

New York.-The naval consulting board has perfected a plan for the en- rolment and classification of all indus tries in the United States. In this way the government will come into posses sion of accurate information respect ing every description of industrial need at time of emergency and will be able at the shortest possible notice to turn this country into comprehen- sive war machine.
 Announcement of the plan was made by w. L. Saunders, president of the American Institute of Mining Engi- neers and vice chairman of the naval consulting board
 It is proposed to use the members of the five great industrial societies of the country, all of them experts in their departments, to gather and clas- s1fy the required information. These societies are the American Institute of Mining Engineers, the American So- ciety of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the American Chemical society.
 The four societies together have a membership of some 3S,o0O men. They have branches and numerous repre- sentatives in every state of the Union. In gathering the material the work will be allotted by states, the factories and industrial capabilities of each state being enumerated by It's respec- tive branch of the national organiza- tion.
 In this way it Is proposed to dis cover all of the plants capable of man. ufacturing munitions, automobiles and everything, in short, which the govern ment in time of war would need. It is expected that with the 38.0O0 ex- perts available for gathering the in- formation the work can be done In a comparatively short time.
 Mir. Saunders produced letter from President Wilson in which he formally instructed MT. Saunders to proceed with the organization necessary. The letter was as follows:
 The work which the American h. stitute of Mining Engineers has done through it's members on the naval con- sulting board Is a patriotic service which is deeply appreciated It has been so valuable that am tempted to ask that you request the institute to enlarge it's usefulness to the govern ment still further by nominating for the approval of the secretary of the navy a representative from it's mem- bership for each state in the Union to act in conjunction with representa- tives from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Ameri- can Institute of Electrical Engineers and the American Chemical society, for the purpose of assisting the naval consulting board in the work of col lecting data for use in organizing the manufacturing resources of the coun- try for the public service in case of emergency. I am sure that I may count upon your cordial cooperation. Cordially yours,

From these figures we see that it would take the $75 COW about ten years to pay for herself in butter; if she was a middle-aged COW she would never do it. On the other hand, the SlI5 COW would have paid for herself in butter in less than three years.

Canadian commanders have stro3Y. urged all their officers to buy corsele-s.

 The corselet is worse than no pro- lection against bullets unless the lat ter are spent. Such is their power of penetration that they go through the thin steel. "mushrooning' and mak- ing larger wound than if nothing had been in their way. But in the trenches unless one shows his head above the parapet and is moving about in the shell zone in the rear of he trenches, one is rarely exposed to bull lots. When an officer goes into a charge in face of machine gun and rifle fire he takes off his cOrSelet.
 On average days in the trenches the main danger is from shrapnel bullets and fragments from shell explosion which may infiict ugly and fatal wounds preventable by comparatively thin protection to such a vulnerable substance as human flesh. Together. a corselet and a steel helmet pretty effectively shield vital parts against missiles of low velocity.

Lee, has been hung in the museum. The painting which measures six by four feet is regarded as a splendid exam pie of martial art.
 Of special interest to New Britain people is the picture, for in the fore ground stands a handsome young off, cer, rugged and fearless. He is Gen eral John Patterson, a native of New Britain and one of the most gallant soldiers that fought in the Revolu- tion
 The painting has had various own CTS in it's century and more of exist ence. As explained it was originally painted for Alexander Beverly of Vir- ginia and remained in the possession of the Beverly family until 1847 when it was bought from Colonel Henry Beverly by Colonel John J.

 MT. Robinson then recomm eds that the motor vehicle department of the state in the future refuse to issue a motor vehicle operators license to any person unless such person has been shown to be mentally and phy- sically competent to operate a ve- hicle on the public highways.
