neers of America, and especially to

PROPER GROWTH OF CALVES
PuzzIlng Question to Gray Heads In
Calf Business-Mueh Depends
on Ration Furnished.

How fast should my calves grow?
is a puzzling question even to gray
heads In the calf-raising business. This
will depend to a large extent on the
kind of ration fed, but in order for my
ration to be considered a definite sue
cess the calves should show a gain of
at least a pound a day each day for
the first six months. Many ordinary
dairymen are getting a pound and a
half gain daily.
In height these same calves should
increase from one and one-half to two
inches per month for the first half year.
The height and weight have a definite
relation for average sized calves dur
ing this first period. After six months
this relation gradually changes and the
weight outstrips the height. At one
month of age a normal calf of any
breed weighs, approximately three
pounds for each inch in height, but at
the end of the six months period the
weight has increased to six and one
half pounds for each inch in height.
From that time on there is a continued
widening in the relation of weight to
height until maturity.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Sinking of q
German submarine by an American de-
stroyer with the capture of five Off
GERS and about thirty-five men was re-
ported to the Navy Department by
Vice Admiral Sims. The submarine
itself was all but captured, the Gel.
man sinking 1t by opening the valves
after officers and crew had swarmed
to the deck of the U-boat with cries of
"Kamerad!" One German member of
the crew was killed and another sus-
tanned wounds from which he died af-
ter being taken aboard one of the de-
stroyers.
The Navy Department in an official
statement made no reference to the
prisoners taken.
1t was subsequently, learned that
the depth charge smashed the horizon
tai rudder of the submarine, causing
1t to rise to the top; that the officers
and crew swarmed on deck with cries
of surrender after the destroyers had
opened fire, but that ONE of the crew
after they had surrendered opened the
valves and sank the boat.
The prisoners were taken on board
one of the destroyers n taken to q
foreign port. One of the dead was
given a military funeral at sea.
These are the first naval prisoners

BUTTER MAKER SHOULD KNOW
Must Handle Cream and churn in
Such Manner That He viii Make
Best Quality of Butter.

The farm butter maker should
know how to handle his cream and
churn in such n manner that he will
bake the best quality of butter from
it. The cream must be ripened even
ly and then churned at the proper
temperature. If too warm the butter
will come quickly, but will not be
firm and granular. If too cold 1t
will take longer to churn. Generally
churning will require from 80 to 80
minutes when cream is at the proper
temperature.

1t has been found that the type of
churn that permits conclusion of the
cream against the sides of the churn
is best, because that is the easiest
and best way to separate the fat glob-

lected. A good example of this type
is the barrel churn which is
