At every city, town, village and cross
road of the United states bonfires were
lighted Tuesday night, October %, by
direction of the national officers of the
Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, for
the double purpose of calling attention
to the fact that the second Liberty
Loan of 1917 will close on Saturday,
October II, and of symbolizing the
truth that America is keeping alight
the fires of Liberty.
Under the direction of Mrs. NJ. b.
McKillip, local chairman Of the Wom-
ans Liberty Loan Committee, a Liberty
Fire burned brightly in Saratoga Tues
day night. patriotic songs were sung,
and children and young folks, armed
with flags, marched up and down the
streets to the stirring strains of mar
tial music. Mayor Fred b.. Durrie ad-
dressed the assemblage for a few min
utes on the subject of the Liberty Loan,
and called attention to the fact that the
bonfire celebration throughout the ma
ion that evening was one of vital patri-
otto Significance.

 WASHINGTON, March 24.-Accord . ing to reports issued from the White House President Wilson has been ap- preached on :he question of a war loan of five billion dollars to the allies.
 This comes as surprise at this particular time when our country Is on the verge of entering the hostili- ties. American securities it is said would be forthcoming as collateral se- curity for such a loan.
 It is also stated that nearly, if not all of the money under the conditions of the loan would be spent in this country for munitions and supplies. No statement has as yet come from headquarters as to what action will be taken in the matter.

FEEDING THE COW BEFORE
%CALVTN0

The proper time to begin feeding a
dairy cow is six or eight weeks before
-calving, and practical dairymen agree
that this preparation has more to do
with the amount of milk and butter
fat which q cow produces during the
lactation period than does the feeding
during any other period.
For COWS calving during the summer
or early fall most dairymen like to
have a small pasture away from the
herd but with an abundance Of grass,
and, in addition, they like to feed a
suitable grain mixture: Corn silage,
with clover or alfalfa hay and limit
ed grain ration of three parts ground
oats, two parts Of bran and one part
Of oil meal is especially good for cows
calving during winter or early spring.
After calving the cows should be
brought slowly up to full feed and
thereby steadily to a higher produc-

Sixty thousand human deaths we're
once caused in one year by anthrax,
disease which affects animals and men.
The scourge referred to was way back
in 1913, but anthrax is still a. rdisease
of sufficient frequency to warrant the
United States department Of agricul-
ture in issuing a new bulletin on the
subject, Farmers Bulletin 784 by Hen
ry J. Washburn.
Medical treatment is usually Of no
avail in acute cases. If taken in time,
however, the injection Of antianthrax
serum will often effect cure. The
most effective method Of dealing with
the disease, however, is by prevention
individual animals by
vaccination and burning or deeply
burying carcasses Of animals that have
died Of the disease so as to avoid in
fecting the ground.

Representative Odland in our legis-

old convention idea in connection with
the primaries, had the support of a
number of progressives. That may be
true in a sense, but they were not
acting the part when they voted for
the changes. Both bills were decisive
ly, defeated. Representatives Bouck

the changes. On the bill repeating the
Fl esidential primary law, which was
carried big IN the house, Bouck voted
fer it's retention. The senate repeated
the action Of the house on this bill. It
