BABY HAD FIVE FEATHERS"
But Women's Trick to Save TheiF
Husbands From Duty in the
Militia Didn't Work.

A year-old baby recently did duty
for five wives who sought to have
their husbands released from service
in the West Virginia National Guard.
Here is the way it came about:
The first wife, a pretty, buxOm
mountain woman, sought the office of
Adjt. Gen. John G. Bond, carrying a
year-old baby boy. She made her
plea and then retired Half an hour
later a second woman sought Adjutant
Bond and prayed for her husbands
release from the Guard, declaring
that she needed his support for her
self and the baby she carried. An hour
later another miserable woman en-
tered the adjutant generals Office and
made a plea similar to that made by
the two women who had preceded her.
When the fourth woman entered his
, office carrying baby that looked
slightly familiar, Adjutant Bond heard
her plea and then took look at the
baby. Shortly after this mother"
was dismissed, in came the fifth, i'm
ploring the adjutant 70 release her
husband.
Wisdom on his countenance, Adiu-
tant Bond took the baby in his arms
and said:
"Are you the godmother, stepmother,
foster mother, or nurse of this baby?
It's been mighty well mothered today,
but. unfortunately. ali of its fathers
are going to serve Uncle Sam when
called on"

War Prices in Paris.

One hears great deal about the
rising cost of living in Germany, re-
Sulting from the British blockade, but
comparatively little about the priva-
tons of the allies. The following let
ter from an American engineer in Paris
tells something of the hardships Of
the City of Light:
"Cold boiled ham costs ninety-five
cents a pound and each thin slice
comes to ten cents. Butter is uneat-
able at less than sixty-four cents a
pound, and everything is in proportion.
Gasoline is twenty cents a quart. AL
cohol is out of the question, as it is
now forty-eight cents a quart as COM
pared to fourteen before the war.
Sugar is fourteen cents Il pound.

When such cows approach the end of
their milking period they normally re-
gain the flesh they have lost, and the
farmer can well afford to feed them
literally, with the assurance that he
will be repaid in the form of milk
when the cows again freshen.
Pasture is the natural feed for cows,
and for average conditions, with am
pie pasture of good grasses or legumes
In good, succulent condition, good pro-
duction can be secured.
The cost of land is a factor in the
economy of using pasture, however
If pastures are depended upon entire

SUCCESSFUL FEEDING OF DAIRY cows
VALUABLE HERD OF YOUNG JERSEYS ON PASTURE
F'rom the United States Department of
Agricultural

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
One of the most common mistakes
in the feeding of dairy cows on the
farm is that the good cows are not
given a sufficient quantity of feed
above that required for their physical
maintenance to obtain the maximum
quantity Of milk they are capable Of
producing Successful feeding of dairy
COWS involves the providing of an
abundant supply Of palatable, nutri-
tious feed at minimum cost and feed
ing in such way as to receive the
largest milk production from the feed
consumed. Feeding for profit is de-
fined as liberal feeding, or feeding to
the full capacity Of the COW, in new
Farmers Bulletin of the department,
No. 743, "The Feeding of Dairy Cows"
which discusses many of the factors
involved in economical feeding.
From the standpoint Of economical
milk production, dairy COW generally
should not be fed more than she will
consume without gaining In weight.
There are times, however, according to
the bulletin, when it is desirable to
make exceptions to this rule. Prac-
ically all heavy milk producers lose
weight in the early part of their lacta-
ton period; that is, they produce milk
at the expense Of their body flesh.

Why pink for a baby girl and blue
for the boy? The reason for the dis
tinction is not very clear We are told
that in Russia and in America blue is
used in the preparation of the outfit
for a baby if the parents desire boy
and pink if the preference is for
girl, and then the old stork brings just
whichever one he pleases regardless
of the color scheme; so the wise moth
