PRODUCTION OF BLOODY MILK
More Objectionable as Matter Of Al.
pearanee Than as Menace to
Health-Various Causes.

Bloody milk is more Objectionable
perhaps as matter of appearance
than as q menace to health. Hemor-
rhages may occur within the udder as
direct result of bruise caused by
rapid motion, by bad position while
the COW is lying down, by the tread of
a COW in an adjoining stall, or because
Of the breaking of a tiny blood vessel
or the escape of red corpuscles through
thin vessel walls. Heavy feeding may
also produce bloody milk.
The remedy is careful milking and
light feeding with laxative foods and
repeated small doses of mild physic.
When the. trouble occurs with cows
giving heavy flow of milk and under
heavy feed, Improvement follows q
marked reduction of the ration. A
change of stall may give good results,
II it allows COW to obtain a better
position and avoid uneven pressure on
the udder while lying down. Cows with
long, heavy udders should be driven
slowly and should not be driven over
high sills.

IMPORTANT FOR DAIRY CALF
Modern Experiments Show That Good

ture for Grain Feed.

The Importance of feeding and car.
ing for dairy calves is emphasized by
]. B. Fitch, associate professor Of
dairy husbandry in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
"Calves should be fed whole milk
until they are one month old, when
they should be changed to skim milk" /"
said Professor Fitch. "They should
be fed skim milk until they are six
months old. While they are on milk
they should be given grain and alfalfa
hay.
"A good mixture for grain feed is
four parts of corn or corn chop. one
part of oil meal, and two parts Of
wheat bran. After taking the calf off
the milk increase the grain gradually
to two pounds day in addition to
silage and alfalfa hay.
1T used to be considered that good
flesh was undesirable in dairy calves,
but experiments show that this is not

Ing other than the barn. 1t should be
located If possible with a northeastern
exposure. Immediately after being
drawn the milk should be strained and
put in shallow pans to cool quickly.
This applies to conditions where q
milk cooler cannot be used.
Where no separator is available it is
necessary to cool the milk as soon as
possible to enable the cream to rise.
Where five or more cows are milked

"Do you believe in the unwritten
law?" asked counsel of the Juror.
The judge raped his gavel upon his
desk. "There is no unwritten law ex.
cept the common law" he announced,
"and the juror will take his law from
the court, not from his conscience. The
duty of the Juror is to bring in YER
dict upon the facts. If a man shoots
another it Is murder or manslaughter." !"
The counsel bowed, the Juror sat
down in the box, accepted. Only the
prisoner eyed the Judge and smiled
cynically. Hardened as he was to his
duty, the Judge felt disconnected by
the prisoners gaze.
The case was a simple one. The
prisoner had shot the man who ran
away with his wife. He was willing to
take the woman back, and she had al
ready created scene in the courtroom.
But the Judge was a stickler for law,
and everyone knew that, If he could
help It, the universal sentiment in ia
vor Of the man should not permit the
jury to bring in any lesser verdict than
murder in the second degree.
The Judge went home that night, to
be greeted by his smiling wife and lit
tie girl. The Judges home life was e1.
emplary. Nobody dreamed Of the
Judges past, least Of all the woman
who shared his home.
Until the age Of twenty-five the
Judges life had been anything but ex.
emplary. He had run away from
home, loafed, drunk and generally been
"a good fellow" What a singular
phrase! However. there had been
good at the bottom. and at twenty-five

the change had been working in him
for years, subconsciously. At any rate

and was nominated to tie bench amid

It must be confessed that the Judge
was not greatly tfoubled about his

never been in prison, he had never
stolen. The thing that sometimes
caused him bitter regret was an event

and twenty-in fact It had been the re.
action from this which was the deter.
mining factor In his life.
He had wronged one of his boon
companions. The mans wife, who had
a poor reputation, had become infatu.
ated with the young fellow, and they
had gone away together. They sep
arated a week later. She had spoken
Of a divorce and asked him to marry
her; but somehow the Judge found that
he was Of finer caliber than he had
thought. They separated. and he
never saw the woman or her husband
again. Years later. however, he heard
that she had died.
It troubled him. but after all man
must live down his past and not brood
over it. The Judge was an exemplary
husband and father. His little daugh-
ter ran to kiss him; he folded his wife
in his arms.
"What will they 90 with that poor

the Judge. "My function. however, Is

ways in which trees serve the

ways in which trees serve the

l. They project the crops from
the wind, frequently saving them
from being blown out of HE soil
bv the strong winIs and reducing
the injury done by dust storms
For every foot in height tree
furnishes protection from tha
wind for 20 feet, thus trees 10
feet tall will protect crops for a.
bout 200 feet.
,. They conserve the soil mois-
turr in many ways. Some of the
most important ways are reducing
the. excessive evaporation by the
hot summer winds, and the cold
dry winds of winter and iilcrcas-
ing the amount of soil moisture
by holding the snow in the fields
3. They protect livestock from
the wind and thus enable them to
produce more milk or gain more
weight, than they would without
protection.
I. They save fuel doubly, first
by breaking the force of the
winter winds and second by sup
plying fuel from the trees and
branches that are cut out as the
tree plantations become too thick.
). They produce an abundance
of shade wherever il is wanted for
the enjoyment of the entire farm
family.
&. They attract birds To tho
farm. which add endowment TO

and most ur which catch harmful
insects.
Z. The greatest benefit of all
procured from trees is that they
beautify the farm grounds and
make possible the establishment
of comfortable and beautiful
farmsIcads on the open prairies
This is impossible without trees
The original trees cost little, as
they grow they increase both the
beauty and the value of the farm
home. There are m;ny kinds OF
trees that will grow on our pra..

prepared soil before they arc
