Fall Freshenipg Planned.

When cows freshen normally
they can be re, bred in three weeks.
Cows which freshen this year in
March can be bred in April. They
will freshen next year in January.
They can then be bred in Febru-
ary. and will freshen in November.
They can be bred again in Decem-
ber, and the next year they will
freshen in September.
That is when, for greatest pro-
duction, most profit, best raised
calves and greatest success with
cows, they should freshen. There
never was, and never will be, bet
ter time to start the plan which
will cause cows'to freshen in the
fall than this spring. BY the fall
of 1918 the plan will not only have
fulfilled its mission, but in the
meantime one additional crop Of
calves will have been secured, and
this is factor well worth consider,
ling, providing a good, pure bred
sire heads the herd From then on
lit viii be easy to keep the COWS

Sulphurlc Acid.

Sulphuric acid has been known COM
mercially for about 100 years. The
first step in its manufacture Is the
burning of sulphur. This forms gas,
which is chemically treated to pro-
duce sulphuric acid. A curious fea-
ture of the acid is that it cannot be
shipped in diluted form in iron con-
tainers, because it will eat through the
iron, but strong sulphuric acid can be
shipped in tank cars.

Get Salt From the Ocean.

Guam has no salt deposits unless the
great Pacific ocean which surrounds it
can be called such. All the salt con-
sumed in the island is evaporated
from sea water in kettles in the age
old fashion employed by the natives
of all sea-coast countries and islands.
When a boiling" is in progress the
natives take occasion to produce a
quantity of sugar as well as salt. the
sugar being derived from evaporating
the sap from the cocoanut tree.
