huts and shacks and battery positions
so well hidden that their presence is
not discernible until pointed out.
The men in the front line, like their
comrades at other parts of the front
stretching from Switzerland to the
North sea, have to content themselves
with the shelter afforded by dugouts.
There they keep warm by means of
heavy clothing, as there is peril in
lighting fires even under cover. The
conformation of the ground, however,
permits the approach of supply de-
tails and under most circumstances
at least one hot meal daily is pro-
vided. The cold is so piercing that
it has been found necessary to shorten
the period of duty in the open. Even
the hardy mountaineers composing the
troops employed here cannot resist
the sharp frosts while standing rigid
ly on guard for many hours at a
time The new system of quick reliefs
has been found to work very well, and
there is astonishingly little suffering
and no complaint on the part of the
men.
Further down the hill slopes, in the
second and third lines the men are
well housed in comfortable shacks,
which they find a way of heating.
Here the men gather when their daily
duty of building roads, digging
trenches and Transporting supplies is
finished, and they contrive to make
themselves quits at home.

Large Amount Of Protein Should 30

A growing animal needs q large

Life Of young animal
The Wisconsin experiment station
has shown that IN calf feeding two
pounds Of grain are equivalent to a
pound Of butterfat, and is much
cheaper. Calves fed on skim milk may
not be rolling In fat, but in the pro-
duct!on Of dairy animals this is not
necessary for thrift and 7igor. =
The colostrum milk is necessary to
cleanse the calls digestive tract and
to stimulate digestion. The calf NAY
be taken away from its mother as
soon as born, provided It Is fed the
whole milk from its own mother or It
may be allowed to run with its dam
for two or three days. At the
end Of two weeks gradually substitute
skim milk until the whole milk is en-.
tirely displaced. Nine to twelve
pounds Of whole milk Is sufficient at
FIRST and should be fed In several
feeds during the day. This may be
increased, gradually until 20 pounds
Of skim milk Is being fed daily.

EXPENSE OF RAISING HEIFER
Estimated All Way From $50 TO $7s-
That Amount VIII Often Purchase
Good Dairy Animal.

Is it cheaper to raise COWS or to buy
them? Opinions vary as to the cost Of
raising a heifer to milking age and it
has been reckoned all the way from
$50 to s75.
II this is correct it may be more
profitable to buy than to raise them,
for that amount of money will often
purchase a pretty good heifer about
ready to produce milk.
It is probable in this reckoning that
retail town prices have been charged
for everything consumed and no al
lowance made for what was returned
to the land; also that the calf must
have been fed whole milk for a long
period.
1t Is possible to raise calves Oh

In Remembrance.

In loving remembrance OF our dear
mother, Louise Richbourg, who de-
parted this life March 2lst 1915.
One year ago the angel OF death Wis
tied our home and bore away from Us
a loving and devoted mother.
OUR ONLY HOPE AND JOY.
Though strong our love, God loved her
best,
And has taken her to the land of rest
A land that's free from every pain,
And there we'll hope to meet again.
Now her gentle voice is hushed,
Her warm true heart is still,
And on her fair and peaceful face
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Dearest mother we miss you,
By your bedside sad and lonely,
Memory's thoughts will be stilled,
But Gods will must be done.
o, the memory of that evening,
AS we stood with breaking heart,
Seeing the one we loved so dearly
Pierced by deaths most crued dart.
Her hards are clasped upon her breast
We have kissed her marbled brow,
And our aching hearts we know
We have no mother now

Intimately mix a gill Of crude car
bolic acid with a quart Of dry, air
slaked lime. Dust the dry lime over
every part Of the poultry house-on the
