HOW TO AVOID BITTER MILK
Use of Laxative Feeds Is Recommend.
ed as Notwithstanding
Difficulties Relieved.

Both the quality and quantity of a
herds milk production depend on the
physical fitness of the cows as well
as on the nutrients in the feed. Bitter
milk and milk with a strong odor both
indicate that something in the cows
digestive system is out of order. A
few doses of EPSON salts are frequent
ly of benefit, but better method is
to choose the feed that disorders will
not occur.
Among dairy feeds that are IN
clined to be constipating and cause
of bitter milk are corn fodder, corn
slower, timothy hay (and most hays ex-
cept those from leguminous crops like
clover and alfalfa), all straws, cotton
seed meal.
Among the feeds that are laxative
in their effect on the system are lin
seed meal, wheat bran, silage, hay
from the legumes, roots, tubers and
fruits, all fresh green feeds.
The use of feeds in the second list
will in large measure prevent bit
ter milk and also the difficulties of
churning cream SKINNED from such
milk.

not, and whether she meant to come

that. Any woman who knew her at
all would. Only a man, perfectly in
fatuated, grinning See if you can't
tell what she looked like and how she
said it."
Jimmy, meek again, attempted the
task.
"Well," he said, "she didn't look me
in the eye and register deep mean
ings or anything like that. I don't
know where she looked. AS far as the
infection of her voice went, it was
just as casual as if she'd been telling
me what she'd had for lunch. But the
quality of her voice just richened up
a bit, as If the words tasted good to
her. And she smiled, just barely, as
If she knew I'd be staggered and didn't
care. There you arel Now interpret

Violet's eyes were shining. "Why,
it's as plain" she said. Cant you see
that she's just waiting for him; that
she'll come like a shot the minute he
says the word? And there he is eat

rife prices for his legal services. when
all he's got to do is to say please in

GIVE CALF PALS attention
During Warm Weather Especial At
tention Should Be Given to Uten-
siIs-keep Them Clean.

The farmer who uses the swill pail
for feeding calves or who hangs the
pail on a post between feelings with
out washing it will soon be looking for
a cure for calf scours. The dirty calf
pail is one of the chief causes of
scours. according to L. w. Wing, Jr.,
of the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture. With the fly season
and warm weather at hand extra pre-
cautions must be taken In caring for
the calf pals. They should be washed
thoroughly after each feed and steri-
lized either with steam or hot water.
After the pals have been sterilized
they should be inverted in a clean
protected place until time to use them
again.

Jimmy explained there hadn't been
any chance to talk much. "The cos
tunes began coming up on the stage
just then ION chorus girls, of course),
and she was up over the runway in a
minute, talking them over with Gal
braith. When she'd finished, she came
down to me again for a minute, but. it
was hardly longer than that really.
She said she wished she might see me
again, but that she couldn't ask me
to come to the studio, because it was
a perfect bedlam, and that there was
no use asking me to come to her apart
ment, because she was never there
herself these days, except for about
seven hours a night of the hardest
kind of sleep. If I could stay around
till her rush was over -. But then,
of course, she knew couldn't"
"And you never thought of asking
her." Violet walled, "where the apart
ment was, so that the rest of US, IL
we were in New York, could look her
up, or write to her from hereT
NO." Jimmy said. 81 never thought
of asking for her address. But it's the
easiest thing in the world to get. Call
up Rodney. He knows"
"What makes you think he knows?"
Violet demanded.
'Well, for one thing" said Jimmy,
"when Rose was asking for news of
all of you, she said: I hear from Rod
ney regularly. Only he doesn't tell
me much gossip"
"Hears from himi" gasped Violet.
"Regularly" She was staring at jim
my in dazed sort of way. "Well,
does she write to him? Has she made
it up with him? Is she coming back?''
81 suppose you can just hear me
asking her all those questions? Casu-
ally, in the aisle of a theater, while
she was getting ready for a running
jump into a taxi?"
The color came up into Violet's face
again. There was maddening sort of |

FEED CALVES SKINNED MILK
Richer in Protein Than Whole Milk,
but Lower in Carbohydrates
Use Clean Vessels.

Skinned milk is little richer in
protein than whole milk, but lower in
carbohydrates. Since most of the fat
has been removed in the cream the
skinned milk will need carbohydrates
to make it a balanced ration for
calves.
A good plan is to replace a portion
of the whole milk with skinned milk,
gradually increase the skinned milk
with some form of carbohydrates till
all of the whole milk is replaced by
skinned milk. Fine ground meal is
one of the best carbohydrate supple

1t was Rose herself who began this

ments to be fed with skinned milk.
Some feeders cook the meal, stir it
in the skinned milk and feed it to
the calf. After the calf is two weeks
old it will eat fine ground meal and if
fed small quantities will assimilate it.
Linseed meal is also used.
Care should be taken in feeding
calves. They should be taught to
drink from the pail as soon as pos
sible. Nothing but clean vessels should
be used and the milk should be clean
and warm.

With a visible effort Randolph re-
covered a more normal manner. "I'm
glad it happened that way" he said.
"Get yourself drink. You'll find any
thing you want over there, guess, and
something to smoke; then Wen sit
down and have an old-fashioned talk"
The source of drinks he indicated
was a well-stocked cellarette at the
other side of the room. But Rodney's
eye fell first on a decanter and siphon
on the table, within reach of the chair
Randolph had been sitting in.

to drink just now" Rodney said. And,
as he followed Rodney's glance, Ran
dolph allowed himself another sardonic
grin.
The preliminaries were gone through
rather deliberately; chairs drawn up
and adjusted, ash-trays put within
reach; cigars got going satisfactorily.
But the talk they were supposed to
prepare the way for, didn't at once be-
gin.
Randolph took another stiffish drink
and settled back into a dull, sulIen alb
straction. Finally, for the sake OF say
ing something, Rodney remarked:
"This is a wonderful room, isn't itf'

gracefully names them Baron Won

honor of two good Germans, friends of

These names emphasize the fact that
America remembers and appreciates
what was good in Germany. before

German people. Won Stenben and de
Kalb were lovers of liberty. The for
mer became true American. He
preferred log cabin in this air Of
freedom. and never returned to his ma
tive land though he was baron there.
De Kalb was born in Bavaria, but was
German more in name than in fact.
When he came with Lafayette to Amer

years in the French army. AS a
general in the Revolution he made n

dlcated to the Holy Saints John The
24th of June is the day set aside for
honoring the memory of ST. John the

two that any service in honor of one

the fruit by placing it in Il strainer
and pouring water over it until it is
