great groups of larkspurs-the tan and
the low. The low disappear from the
range early in July and cases of poi
soning from them are usually confined
to the months of May and June. The
tall larkspurS live through the summer
season, making their first appearance
in early spring. This is the time in
which they are the most poisonous. Al
ter blosSoming, their poisonous char
acter appears to diminish. Ultimately,
it disappears and the plant dries up
although the seeds remain poisonous.
In Colorado, most of the cases of pol
soning from the tall larkspur occur in
May and June, with sporadic cases in
July. In other localities, however, the
larkspurs blossom later and poisoning
may occur as late as August or even
September. Rare cases have been re-
ported in October

After short interval it will probably
regain its feet only to fall again. As
the effect of the poison wears off, the
animal is able to keep its feet for long
er and longer periods, and finally walks
off very much as if nothing had hap
pened. In severer cases it is ultimate
ly unable to regain its feet at all and
dies. Government experiments indi-
cate that beneficial results may be OBJ
tanned by treating the poisoned ami
mails with hypodermic injections of

TEN DAIRY REASONS
: OFFERED BY EXPERT
Dairyman Assured Of Neat and
Regular Income From Sale
of Milk and Stock.

Prof. George G. Humphrey Of the
University of Wisconsin. gives the fol-
lowing ten reasons for a dairy:
1t enables the dairymen to antici-
pate and receive a neat and regular
income from the sale of milk.
The sale of surplus young stock and
COWS, furnishes an income in addition
to the income for milk, that adds to
the profit materially.
It provides home market and pays
higher prices for farm crops than are
ordinarily paid at commercial centers.
1t utilizes grass and various kinds
Of feed that have no market value ex-
cept as they are converted into milk
or other saleable products.
It PROVIDES a means of employing
labor regularly and proitably at all
seasons of the year.
1t makes the farm permanently pro-
ductive by the utilization of feeds on

RAISING CALVES FOR PROFIT
Wisconsin Specialist Gives Interesting
Hints About Building Up Money
Producing Dairy.

G. G. Humphrey, a Wisconsin dairy
specialist, gives the following facts
about building up a prOft-prOducing
dairy from hOme-raised calves:
Use only q good, purebred sire, take
good care of the cows, and keep the
calves coming right from birth.
Dry the mother off six weeks be-
fore date Of calving, otherwise the
calf may be weak or undersized.
Give the mother q clean, comfort
able box stall few days before calv-
ing, where she may be quiet.
Leave the calf with its mother the
first two to four days, so it may get
the cOlestrum, or "first milk"
From then until four weeks old, feed
from two to five pounds of its mothers

THE CHELSEA LESSON.

Chelsea Neshborhood is becoming American in the best sense:
that u.s. democratic and cooperative.
~ In these days W. hear much about the training for citizenship

ever this may be. there is no question that most people do need
training in the ways Of democracy. and this applies often IS much TO
the native born as to the foreigner.
Here in the Chelsea district are being worked out some Of the
principles and methods which make for training in democracy We
have always heard OF the charity which the poor have for the poor.
In america we believe in the capacity Of every ma and woman for
social and political action, bur this capacity has not always had an
opportunity TO develop.
The machinery Of national and city government is S huge tina.
it baRes the understanding n ability of the average citizen. but there
are many interests of the average citizen which ar chiefly Of local
sIgn;acsnce; ms snusements. his home. his friendships depend on local
h.yins the genius Of a statesman lis the attempt to arouse interest
is changing the life in Chelsea district and creating . new type Of
neighborhood.
This neishborbood life has been Of slow growth and is NOT due to
the work Of any single individual CT Institution. Slowly the people
who live and work in this little ncighborhood in the great CITY have
been finding our for themselves new and better ways Of working and
playing together.
In these days Of war and competition il: is inspiring TO find the
social and mora element in people msnifesting itself in ncw ways.
