MOTHER SHIP FOR
 BIG SEAPLANES
Vessel Formerly in Atlantic Ser vice Now Hunts for Submarines

New York. Juno e.-Paasengers ar- irving yesterday at an American port from England stated that former transatlantic liner of considerable size, which was converted into . mother ship for airplanes and took part in the North sea fight. was now being used by the British admiralty in its new campaign to overcome the German submarine menace.
 This vessell carries a number of airplanes and cruises round the Brit ish coast. waiting to pick up news of tho undersea craft. Men are posted at the lofty mastheads on the lookout with powerful glasses, and directly a submarine is sighted an aviator goes up in . seaplane and drops bombs on its track.
 In addition tho captain of the sea- plane ship Is kept posted on subma- rine activities by wireless from the naval stations at various points, and also receives S. 0. S. calls that arc sent out by the steamships which arc being attacked.

 The Talmud is therefore. far from being the work of single uthor. IL Is also by no means a work alone by Jews. Early Jewish Christians and

MILK SUBSTITUTE FOR CALF
Many Experiment Stations Glad to
Furnish Farmer With Formula
Care at WEAVING Time.

The calf raising season is now here,
and with the present high prices Of
milk and veal, and the increasing
value of both dairy and beef cattle,
we cannot impress upon III readers
too pointedly the advantages Of using
a milk substitute in raising their
calves.
There are some excellent milk sub
stitutes on the market and, If a farmer
wishes to make one himself, there are
many Of the experiment stations that
will be glad to furnish him with vari-
Gus formulas for SO doing.
1t has been proved time and time
again that while the results secured
from milk substitutes are not as cas-
lily obtained as those produced by a
milk ration, If proper care is taken
after weaving time, the final develop
ment of the heifer raised upon the
best milk substitutes will be almost
equal to the milk-fed individual

AGE OF THE CONCORD GRAPE

Seventy Years Old-catawba 10
Fifty Years Older.

Some things seem to have existed
from the beginning Of time, simply be-
cause we have always been accus-
toned to seeing them. One of these is
the Concord grape. This grape is prob
ably more largely grown in America
than any other variety, though its pre-
dominance Is of comparatively recent
date. The Oldest Concord grape vine
in existence is much younger than
many persons 10Y living. 1t is, in
fact, less than seventy years old. The
catawba grape is nearly fifty years
older, but 1t never attained to the Con-
cords popularity. The grape, how
ever Is not an isolated case. When
we begin to inquire into the history
Of almost any of our varieties Of fruit,
we find that all are Of comparatively
recent origin. The varieties in cult
walton one hundred years ago were
seldom up to the standards we hold at
present. Probably the fruits of an

Benefits From GARDENING.

The man who puts In honest and con-

q winner, even II not one radish ever

seriousness Of having done his best.

1t is safe to predict that the gar.

Harness Breast Strip Can Be Ar.
ranged to Cure UnruIy Cow-It
Will Prove Efficacious,

To break a COW Of kicking when be-
Ing MIXED, take a harness breast
strapeand six inches back from the
buckle rivet n end of a strap about
our inches long. Slip an iron ring
over the breast-strap beneath this
short strap, then rivet down the other
end Of the short strap. When in use
the long end Of the breast-strap is
passed through the ring. The ring is
to divide the legs Of the COW, and the

the strap around the legs above the
hook joints. The short strap should
be on the inside, SO it will not hurt
