Raising the Dairy Calf.
By F. S. Adams, Chief, Bureau Animal
Industry.

There are in Maine nearly $50, 900 COWS.
AS the average period of usefulness of
the dairy cows is not more than eight
years, this means that, to only maintain
the dairy herds of the State, there must
be raised $4,000 heifer calves every year,
and it seems that, under present condi-
tons, this is an opportune time to increase
the size of the herds.
The outlook for the dairy business is
good. With the producers organized to
market their product, dairying will be put
on paying basis. The marked increase
of two cents quart, to take effect Aug.
1St, shows what can be done by organized
effort; and the fact that the COW popula-
ton has been nearly wiped out in some of
the countries of Europe, must mean a
high price for dairy products in the future
and the herds can be increased on most
farms without increasing the overhead
charges. While the dairymen are con-
fronted with high prices for grain, hay is
cheap and large crop is being harvested.
The raising of calves is the most salts
factory way to improve the herd. This
comes only through the replacing of worn
out and discarded cows by better heifers.
Such heifers must be the result of mating
pure bred bull with herd of cows from
which the low producers have been culled.
The dairyman's main object in raising
calves should be to improve and increase
the size of his herd. Under most condi-
lions it will pay to raise every well-bred
heifer calf.
GRAIN RATIONS FOR HEIFERS.
Ration L. Three parts bran, one part
corn meal, one part linseed meal.

Alloy THERE, MR.. MANN.

You are the leader of the Republican
party in the House Of Representatives of
the United States. When you stood up
the other day and tried to prevent the
food control bill from going to conference
you made yourself a marked man. The
common people of this country cannot
buy Liberty Bonds and hand out ready
millions for Red Cross work if the specu-
lators in food and fuel are to plumber
them. The ''foiks back home" have been
disguised with the Democrats for some
time, and you are one of the Republicans
who, politically, may die "unhonored and
unsung."

A FRIEND OF JAPAN.

According to Gen. Nakashoii, Minister
of Agriculture and Commerce of Japan,
the total value of Japan's export trade
for 1916 was 1,127, 468, 900 yen. Thirty
per cent of this export trade-in our
money about $170, 600, OOO-went to the
United States. Japan sold us $91, OOO, 600

under the protective tariff law. This
year she handed us about $500. OOO, 600
worth of her merchandise. The Wilson,

Revision of Charter

In comforting with the city attorney,
and several members OF the council,
the need of a complete revision of the
city charter. together with a compila-
ton of the city ordinances brought
down to date, was brought out. This
need is evident on the most cursory
examination of conditions. There are
only four or five copies of the last
compilation left, and these brought
the ordinances of the city, and the
acts of the legislature local to the city
of Ocala, down to May -, 1910 Since
then there have been several changes
in the city charter, and of course
many new ordinances enacted
The more important phase of the
matter is the revision of the charter
which, because of the many amend
.ments that have been enacted from
time to time, since its original pass

DENIES TRIB STORY

Ii uSuAdA VI q SIOIy pILuLGu III Tic
Tribune this morning, Timothy Shea,
vice pres. of the Brotherhood Of Lo-
connective Firemen and Engineers, is
sued the following statement today:
"a certain morning paper published
a news article containing a statement
purpOrting to have been given by the
undersigned, speaking for the rail-
road organizations, to the effect that
the decision Of the supreme court in
passing upon the constitUtionality of
the Adamson law prohibited the en-
ployes engaged in public service from
striking and placed the employers
and employees under obligation to it's
regulations and that they
must submit all differences to media
ton and abide by the mediators' de-
cisiOn.'
This statement is a deliberate
misrepresentation. In order that
there may be no misunderstanding
concerning this matter, I desire to
say that I have read the decision of
the supreme court and find no ruling
therein that in any way changes the
policy of the railroad Brotherhoods
representing transportation en-
ployes so far as their right to strike
is concerned. It is true that Chief
Justice White, in an oral statement,
in rendering his decision ikened the
men engaged in public service to sol
diers who in the presence Of enemies
of their country may not desert, but
this oral declaration is not included
in the decision of the court, and must
necessarily be accepted as an ex-
pressed personal opinion which may
not be held by other members Of the
court.
st must be apparent to every one
that before such a law could be
placed upon the statute books it must !

OBFLIsH ON BIRTH
PLACE Of DAVIS

FAIRVIEW, KY, March 1.-THE
birthplace Of jefferson Davis on a
farm near here is to be marked by a
great limestone obelisk, according 10
plans which Confederate veterans are
now trying to bring to completion.
A tract of twenty-five acres near
Fairview, which originally formed A
part of the farm upon which Jefferson
Davis was born was acquired several
years ago by Colonel A. S. Cunning
ham, of Nashville, Tenn, publisher OF
the Confederate Veteran" and Genet-
al Bennett H, Young, who was four
times elected commandments CT
the United Confederate Veterans. They
raised about 100000, converting the
tract into the Jefferson Davis Park,
and it is upon a summit Of this park
that it is proposed to erect the monu-
ment. Gen. George w. Littlefeld, ii
Austin. Tex, announced that he will
guarantee an amount sufficient to in
sure the completion of the project
others would assume a fair share, and
Gen. Julian S. Carr of Durham, n. G.,
has agreed to assume a further large
share of the expense. In the meantime
a campaign for further funds is In
progress, and designs for the monu-
ment have been prepared with the in
tention of beginning work on the foun-
dation this spring.
The monument will be an oblisk OF
limestone and concrete 351 feet high,
the tallest with the exception of the
monument of any other
shaft of the kind in the world. The
base will be forty-three feet square
with a room eighteen feet square in
the interior for the storing of relics. 1t
is planned to have the shaft com
pleted some time early in the coming
autumn and to dedicate it October %,
1917.
The site of the monument is only
about 100 miles, as the crow flies, from
the site fthe impressive Memorial
Hall erected near Hodgenville, Ky,

rie0 slave into ireland when sixteen
years old, Saint Patrick tended sheep
for six years and then escaped to his
native land. Impressed with the
need of Christianity in the land from
which he escaped, he studied several
years in preparation for missionary
work, and then returned to Ireland to
preach the gospel His first act was
to reimburse three-fold the master
from whom he made his escape. Then
he took up his work as minister
and converted thousands of Irish peo-
pie, numbering ruling powers and
simple peasants among his converts.
He continued this successful minis
try until his death in 465, and be-
came demi-god of the Irish people.
Facetiously speaking commentators
admit that Saint Patrick was born IN
Scotland. but say he left that country
before he acquired taste for things
Scotch, else he would never have been
successful in driving the snakes out of
Ireland His father was deacon and
a magistrate, a combination of Offices
which has always been instrumental
in driving out snakes. His principal
litary work, "Confessio," is often re-
ferred TO as a spirited autography,"
but the spirited is not intended in
the modern sense of the term
In the year 1883 George the Third,
of whom Americans have heard be-
fore, organized the Most Illustrious
Order of Saint Patrick. This order
adopted the cross and the shamrock
as official symbols, hence the prevail
ence of lapel shamrocks in observing
Saint Patrick's day in modern times.

Submarine Torpedoes.

Launching torpedo from a subma- rine is simple. The torpedo fits closely in tube or cylinder, with an opening at the rear made airtight when closed. At the desired moment there is dis charge of cordite and the torpedo is oH it's way.
 When the torpedo is projected from ship or boat into the water a lever is thrown back, admitting air into the engines, causing the propellers to re volve and drive the torpedo ahead. The torpedo travels under water at a high rate of speed. It carries a large charge of explosive, which is ignited on the torpedo striking any hard sub stance, such as the hull of a ship.
 The distance the tube is submerged depends on the target, but the nearer the surface the more effective.
