HOW TO AVOID BITTER MILK
Use Of Laxative Feeds Is Recommend
ed as Preventive-churnins
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 a better method is
to choose the feed that disorders will
MOI occur.
Among dairy feeds that are in
clined to be constipating and a cause
of bitter milk are corn fodder, corn
slower, timothy hay (and most hays ex-
cept those from legumlnous crops like
clover and ALFALFA, all straws, cotton
iced 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 a large measure prevent bit
ter milk and also the difficulties of
churning cream skinned from such
milk.

KERENsKY WARNS OF PERIL.
Premier Declares Policy of "5Iood and
Iron" Will Stamp Out Treason.

Moscow. Russia is passing
through a period of mortal danger"
Premier 'Kerensky told the National
Conference which assembled in Mos
COW to consider the present situation
of the country and plans for a new
national government.
He declared that any attempt to
take advantage of the conference for
an attack on the national power, as
embodied in the provisional govern
ment, would be repressed pitilessly
"by blood and IRON"
The proceedings began with a
speech by Premier Kerensky, lasting
an hour and a half, pronounced in a
nervous, impressive voice, which
aroused tremendous applause, mainly
from that part of the theater occupied
by the democratic organizations and
members of the cabinet, but the Duma
members and the Moscow industrial
deputies also at times participated.
NJ. Kerensky spoke resolutely EN-
phasizing the role he had played in
recen events and his determination
to guide events in the future.

RIOTERS TAKEN TO COLUMBUS.
Negroes Who Shot UP Houston Taken
From Civil Authorities.

Houston, Tex, Aug. 27.-Though
Houston generally breathed distinct
relief that martial law will end and
that the rioting negroes of the Twenty
fourth infantry are no longer in a po.
sition to cause further trouble, county
officials expressed resentment that
forty of them indicted here for muir.
der, should have been taken from their
authority.
THE fact hat they were removed
to Columbus, n. NJ, does not mean
that we will not ultimately take a hand
in their punishment" said District At
torney John II. Croker. In my opin-
ion the court martial which will be
held by the military authorities does
not abrogate the right to trial by the
civil authorities. Those who escape
punishment in the military court will
be prosecuted in the courts of Harris
county"

WYOMING OIL OUTPUT
PLACED AT A TOTAL OF $4,000
BARRELS PER DAY.
Rate Indicates That Wyoming Will
Produce and Market 100000 to
14,ooo,0o o Barrels In 1917.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Casper, Wyo.-A Wyoming operator
who has devoted much time to study
of the various producing and prospec-
tive areas of the state and who has
been accepted as an authority, makes
these estimates: Salt Creek, 21.O0O
barrels a day run to Casper and 10000
barrels a day shut in; Elk Basin, 1000
barrels a day shipped to Greybull and
$500 barrels a day shut in; Grass
Creek, 1000 barrels a day run, 5000
barrels a day to G%reybull and 1000
barrels to Chatham; Big Muddy, 5000
barrels a day run to Casper, as of July
Is, with four good deep-sand wells
completed since hat date; Lander,
500 barrels a day shipped to Casper
and 600 barrels a day shut in; Pilot
Butte, 1900 barrels a day shut in.
These figures show a total of $4,000
barrels a day actually run to refiner-
les and 81 800 barrels a day shut in,
or a total developed production for the
state, not including the new wells at
Big Muddy, of 6 0,S00 barrels a day. At
this rate Wyoming should produce and
market 2 1000, 900 to $4,000, 900 barrels
in 1917.
With an eight-inch pile line under
construction from Thermopolis to
Greybull and another eight-inch line to
be started from Elk Basin to Grey
bull, more oil should be run when
those lines are completed, leaving the
big shut.in production at Salt Creek
Aff Tho raarEot prnHiOtinnc nrn fraa-
ly made that the potential output Of
the state will be 100000 barrels a day
by the end of the year.

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 1t will 500 be looking for
a cure for calf scours. The dirty calf
pail is n 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.

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

Skinned milk is a 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
n of the best carbohydrate supple
