Water for Cows.

All animals require plenty of good,
pure water. This is especially true of
the milking cow, as water constitutes
more than tnree-fourths of the volume
of milk. The water supply, therefore,
demands the dairyman's most careful
attention. Stale or impure water is
distasteful to the cow and she Will not
drink enough for maximum milk pro-
duction. Such water may also carry
disease germs which might make the
milk unsafe for human consumption or
be dangerous to the COW herself. Dur
ing the winter, when cows are stabbed
the greater part of the time, and unless
arrangements have been made to keep
water before them all the time, they
should be watered two or three times a
day If possible, the water should be
Is or 20 degrees above the freezing
point, and should be supplied at practi-
cally the same temperature every day
When water well above freezing tenn
perature is stored in tanks and piped
direst TO the COW, there IS probably lit
tie occasion for facilities to warm it;
but when it stands in a tank on which
ice often forms it usually pays well to
warm it slightly. This can be done by
a tank heater, by live steam, or by hot
water from boiler. If a boiler Is
used for running a separator or for
heating water to wash and sterilize
utensils, steam from it can readily and
cheapIy be used to warm the water

Farrn Horses IndispensabIe.

Today, when the tractor Is coming
into favor as a source of farm power,
there are those wild-eyed extremists
who would have US believe that the
horse is bound to be abolished from the
farm. This same propaganda was
preached at the time when steam power
replaced horse power for driving the
old-time threshers. As a result of this
recent awakening in favor of tractor
power, horse breeders have become
alarmed again at what seems TO be a
direct blow at their business.
Horses have been the farmers helpers
and companions when the stress OF
farm work was greatest They have
been a part of his big farm household
IN which family ties really exist, and 1t
may be said that he has perhaps resent
ed, for this reason mainly, the idea
that he should go back on his friends
and replace them with q mechanical
substitute.
With all OF our automobiles and trac-
tors, no sane man should make the
claim that there Is no need Of horses on
the farm There is great amount OF
work which the horse can do well For
instance, IN cultivating growing crops,
like corn. where the WORK IS light and
where the natural instinct of the horse
can be trained to follow the row and
allow the farmer to attend strictly GO
the job Of getting rid OF weeds, 10
tractor OF the present stage OF develop
ment can be said TO be in competit ior
with the horse For the small garden
or truck patch the horse viii always
have first call.

On Vacations. Zen No. 2.

Last week we mentioned three kinds
of tired feelings
One of them we called Cellular
This merely means that all the cells
of the body are tired. They lack vital
ity, vigor and resistance to disease
They have been abused in some way,
perhaps through lack of sufficient reg
ular sleep, perhaps through rapid eat
ing of food. perhaps from lack of plen-
ty of good pure oxygen day and night,
perhaps because of a cold, etc, etc
This is the most Immediately danger
Gus of the three classes of ''tired feel
ings because it exposes the body to d.
sease.
The remedy is to live sensibly and by
chemically following the simple laws of
right living.
Some people say: ''wen that doesn' t
hurt me- 81 don't notice the differ
ence," etc, referring to the fact that
they stay up late at night, or Overeat,
etc, and that it doesn't hurt them.
They are merely using up their re-
serve supplies and Nature is a sure col
lector of debts.

In Dear Old DAYS Gone By.

In the cleaning I sit dreaming
Of the dear old days gone by,
When my mother was still with me,
And not in rest beyond the sky.
I can feel her soft caresses,
As did in days of old,
And her ever tender blessings,
Coming from her heart Of gold.
l can see her going with me,
To the church we all love so,
And hope that I shall meet her,
In the land where we all can go.
If we're faithful to our Saviour,
We shall meet our friends on high;
There will be a great rejoicing
In the land beyond the sky.

CAN FRUIT WITHOUT SUGAR.
Canning Specialists Say Boiling Water
Hay Be Used Instead of Syrup.

Fruit for use in pies or salads or as
st we'd fruit can be put up or canned
without the use of any sugar at all, ac-
cording to the canning specialists of
the department. They, therefore, ad-
wise those who, because of the high
price of sugar, have been thinking of re-
ducing the amount of fruit they put up,
to can as much of their surplus as pos
sible by the use of boiling water when
sugar syrup IS beyond their means. Any
fruit, they say, may be successfully
steriIzed and retained IN the pack by
simply adding boiling water instead of
the hot syrup. The use of sugar, of
course, Is desirable In the canning of
all kinds OF fruits and makes Z better
and ready sweetened product. More
over, most of the fruits when canned
IN water alone do not retain their
natural favor, texture, and color as
well as fruit put up IN syrup. Fruit
canned without sugar to be- used for
sauces or deserts must be sweetened
