MEASURES TO WARD
OFF cow TROUBLES
Prevention of Milk Fever Is Much
Easier and Cheaper Than
Cure-SimpIe Rules.

(By DR. A. 8. ALEXANDER, Wisconsin
Experiment Station.)
Milk fever is durable in a majority
of cases, but prevention is much easier
and less expensive. A few simple
measures will go far to warding OF
attacks. Here they are:
Keep the stables clean, light, we'll
aired and comfortable. Give the cows
abundant exercise and light, laxative
feed before calving time. Avoid PAM
pering. Do not milk the udder out
clean for few days after calving.
Some allow the calf to take most of
the milk.
If one of your cows is attacked, de-
spite these precautions, she may usual
" be saved by this treatment:
Initiate the udder with srerfflzed afr
after stripping the MIX away. Do
this by means Of a special fnstru-
ment for the purpose. II such an In
strument cannot be had, initiate with a
sterilized milking tube attached to one
end Of Z small. clean rubber tube,
fitted to . clean bicycle pump. Tie
tapes around the teats to retain the
air. Inflammation Of the udder (gar-
get) may be caused II great care is
not taken to perfectly sterilize the In
etruments used for the operation.
Also wash the udder clean. The COW,
thus relieved, usually win get on her
fcet soon after the udder II Inflated,

LIGHT Is CHEAPER
THAN CATTLE FEED
Properly Placed Windows Win
Add to Convenience of Farm
er in Doing His Work.

Light is cheaper than feed ano
more beneficial than gallons of germ
icides" states Frederick w. Ives, Pro-
fessor of Farm Architecture, Ohio
State university, In replying to the
many requests that come to him about
lighting the barn properly. Every
barn should have at least four square
feet of window space to each animal
and in dairy barns this should be in
creased to six or eight square feet"
Good windows properly put in will not
make the barn much colder in winter
and will add to the convenience of the
farmer in doing his work in the build
Ing. Oftentimes the barn doors are
left open during the winter evenings
and morning to make proper lights
this causes sudden changes of tenn
pefature which are harmful to tho
Hvo stock within.

dried or be stored in mouse-proof bar
rels, boxes, or crates during the win
ter, but in either case they must not
be exposed to a damp atmosphere, or
they will absorb moisture and be in
jured. Some farmers place the thor
oughly dried seed ears in the center of
a wheat bin and fill the bin with loose,
dry wheat.
In localities where weevils and grain
moths injure stored grain, the thor
oughly dry seed ears should be stored
in very tight mouse-proof receptacleS
with one pound of moth balls or naph-
thalene inclosed for each busheI
of corn. This quantity tightly i'm
closed with the corn will prevent DAM
age from these insects and will not in
jure the seed. If at any time signs of
weevils or grain moths show on the
corn, it should be inclosed with car
bon bisulphide in practically alright
rooms, bins, boxes, or barrels for 40
hours. The bisulphide should be-
placed in shallow dishes or pans on
top of the seed One-half pint is suf-
ficient for a box or barrel holding 10
bushels or less. One pound is suffi-
cient for a room or bin 10 feet each
way. After fumigating the ears must
be thoroughly aired

them"
Sheer stupefaction was K. LIE

you'll put what you save in the bank"
He was still somewhat dazed when
he went up the narrow staircase to
his swept and garnished room. Never,
in all of life that had been active

scious Of friendliness and kindly inter-
est. He expanded under it. Some of
the tired lines left his face.

as he unknotted his cravat. ''New un-

He pondered over that for time,
taking off his shoes slowly and think
ing hard. Kenneth, King, Kerr"
None of them appealed to him. And,
after all, what did it matter? The
old heaviness came over him.
Sidney did not sleep much that night.
She lay awake, gazing into the scented
darkness, her arms under her head.
Love had come into her life at last. A
Joe, of course, but it was
not the boy himself, but what he stood
for, that thrilled her-had asked her
to be his wife.

reduced by leaving it in sack or

some moisture in the cobs and kerr

ering is to string the ears. Ordinarily
the best place to hang strings of ears
is in an open shed or loft. Wire racks
are more convenient, and in the end
cheaper than binder Irvine. Such racks
may be made from electrically welded
lawn fencing. The cutting of the fenc-
ing into seed-corn racks is done with
out any waste.
Only during unusually damp wealth
er at seed-gathering time will fire be
necessary. If heat is employed in a
poorly ventilated room it will do the
seed ears more injury than good. If
used, the fire should be slow, long con-
tinued, and situated below the seed
ears, with good ventilation above
them.

Autumn is the time to prepare for

season. At corn-ripening time drop all

Of seed corn. The process is too i'm
portant to be conducted incidentally
while husking. When selecting seed
corn give the process your entire at
tention. Get the very best that is to
be had and preserve it well, and your

profit than any otherswork you can do
on your farm.
In Ii years. investigations conduct
ed upon Scioto river bottom soil near

was raised from an average of
63 bushels of dry shelled corn
from 1901 to 1907 to an aver
age Of rs bushels from 1907 to 1913.
The principal influence producing this
increase in yield was the selection and
the care Of seed corn.
Selection Of Seed Corn.
The only proper way to select seed
corn is from the stalks standing where
they grow, as soon as ripe and before
the first hard freeze. AS soon as the
corn ripens, go through the field with
seed-picking bags, and husk the ears
from the stalks that have produced
the most corn without having any spe-
cial advantages such as space, nois-
ture, or fertility. Avoid the large ears
on stalks standing singly with an I'M
usual amount of space around them

CHAPTER l.

The Street stretched away NORTH
and south in two lines of ancient
houses that seemed to meet in the dis
lance. 1t had the well-worn look of an
old coat, shabby but comfortable. II
was an impression of home, really
that 1t gave. There was house across
and little way down the Street, with
a card in the window that said: meals,
twenty-five cents" The Nottingham
curtains were pinned back, and just in
side the window throaty baritone was
singing:
Home is the hunter, home from the hill;
And the sailor. home from the sea.
For perhaps an hour Joe Drummond
had been wandering down the Street.
His slender shoulders, squared and
resolute at eight, by nine had taken on
a disconsolate droop. Prayer meet
ing at the corner church was over; the
Street emptied. The boy wiped the
warm band of his hat and slapped it
on his head again. All!
Across the Street, under an old allan
thus tree, was the house he watched, a
and-curious architecture of the Mid
die West sixties-a wooden cellar door
beside the steps. In some curious way
1t preserved an air of distinction among
its newer and more pretentious neigh
bors. The taller houses had an appear
ance of protection rather than of pat
ronage. 1t was matter of self-respect,
perhaps. No windows on the Street
were so spotlessly curtained, no door
mat so accurately placed, no yard in
the rear so tidy with morning-glory
vines over the whitewashed fence.
d, The June moon had risen. When the
girl came out at last, she stepped out
ing shadows, fragrant with tree bios
SONS hushed of it's daylight sounds.
The house had been warm. Her brown
hair lay moist on her forehead, her thin
white dress was turned in at the
throat. She stood on the steps and
threw out her arms in a swift gesture
to the cool air. From across the Street
the boy watched her with adoring,
humble eyes. All his courage was for
those hours when he was not with her.
"Hello, joe"
"Hello, Sidney"
He crossed over, emerging out of the
shadows into her enveloping radiance.
His ardent young eyes worshiped her
as he stood on the pavement.
"I'm late. I was taking out hastings
for mother"
"Oh, that's all right
Sidney sat down on the doorstep, and

tied herself more comfortably and
drew long breath.
"How tired 1 am ! OIL haven't told
you. We've taken a roomer!" She

not approve of roomers. SIT will help

THE TROUBLE IN RUSSIA

THE TROUBLE IN RUSSIA.
Since the Car of Russia was
forced to abdicate, conditions in
Russia have been so unsettled
that the exact attitude of that
great country towards her allies
has been difficult to define. The
commission form of government
which was organized upon the
abdication of the Gar, has met
with many difficulties in it's eff
forts to bring order out of choas.
German influences have been at
work to undermine the cothmis-
sion, and during the past week
revolution was narrowly averted
when the soldiers and workmen
determined to have the govern
ment more clearly define its pur-
poses in dealing with the Allies.
President Lvoff, however. has
been able to satisfy the op-
position and reports state that
there will be no break between
Russia and the countries with
which she is fighting to see the
supremacy of democracy.
Should Russia fail to keep
faith with the Allies, the latter
have a trump card that they can
play in dealing with Russia as a
traitor. Japan has been itching
to get into the war and has three
million we'll trained soldiers
which, no doubt, would be turn
ed loose upon the eastern side of
Russia with instructions to bring
that country to her knees. The
thrashing which Russia received
at the hands of Japan a few
years back is still fresh in the
minds of the Russians. Russia
has made advances into Asia
which alarmed Japan. The lat
ter country has just emerged
from a war with China and OBJ
tanned Korea as a province and
also other valuable acquisitions.
Russia, however, induced France
and Germany to join with her in
forcing Japan to give up impor-
tant rewards of her Chinese VIC
tory. Russia seized Manchuria
which Japan demanded that
Russia should withdraw from.
The controversy over the ques-
ton finally resulted in breaking
off of relations between the two
countries and the Russo-Japan-
csc war ensued. This war last
ed from February 1904 to Sep
TENDER 1905. Japan won on
land and sea, and Russia soon
was willing to go into a confer
ence to obtain peace. President
Roosevelt rendered his good Of
fees as mediator in 1905, and
the conference was. held at Ports
mouth, New Hampshire. By
the treaty Russia and japan both
agreed to quit Manchuria and
Russia transferred to Japan the
valuable seaport of Port Arthur
and all of the Liao-Tung PENN
sula.
Japan has displayed great
willingness to send soldiers to
Europe but the Allies have re.
fused the offer. In an extreme
case, however, Japan's ~proffered
assistance will be accepted and
the little yellow men of the East
will be turned upon the Russian
soldiers unless that country keeps
faith with those that she now
has as her allies.
