To produce clean milk the barn, barn

Soy beans contain more fat than

TO SAVE CALVES FEED WELL

Feeding the cow we'll before calviAg
insures a strong, healthy calf. The
best time to ween the calf is after it
takes the first milk. Early weaving
makes it easier to teach the calf to
drink.
Everything about the calf should be
scrupulousfy clean.
Milk from infected cows or frem a
creamery should be pasteurized be.

Calves should be fed sweet milk Of
a uniform temperature and should al.
ways receive a little less than they
desire
All calves should be fed regularly
very young calves should be fed
three times day.
At first the calf is fed whole milk,
the quantity being gradually IN.
creased. Skim milk is substituted as
soon as practicable and if cheap Ia
continued until the calf is six months
old. Ordinarily the maximum quantity
of skim milk that can be fed econom.
ically is 20 pounds a day. When the
calf rs two weeks old, grain and
bright, clean hay should be offered ;
the quantity fed Should be increased
as the calls appetite demands.
Milk substitutes are not equal TO
milk, but give fair results when used
with care.
Quarters must be eiean and dry,
with plenty Of bedding.
Stanchions save milk and prevent

morning reported that seventy
six persons were killed and one
hundred and seventy four injur-
ed in England by bombs thrown
from German airships. Of the
number given, twenty-seven
were women and twenty-three
were children. This was done by
a people whose ruler pretends to
be fighting for righteous cause
and who claims to hold a commits

act is enough to arouse the in

Surely no one in this great ma

Kilduff came close to going to the
Yankees. but was passed up by the
scouts, Dick Kinsella, who worked for
RUPERT and Houston last summer, and
Joe Kelley. 50 young "Peterkin" lost
one chance there.
But while the Giants were on their
second Western swing McGraw was ad-
vised to put In a draft for Kilduff, and
when the comoing season opened he did
so. He won the player and took him 70

"Jim Jefries" May Offset
Germans" Jack Jehnsons

Los Angeles. Cal. April 4-JIm Jefrries
IS working on an explosive that will
carry more destructive weight than even
his mighty right ram did in the days
when he was worlds heavyweight cham
pion. Incidentally he believes that this
war bride" will pay him better than
his ring endeavors.
Jeffries is in retirement in the wooded
mountains behind his ranch near Los
Angeles. He has built a small powder
plant, in which the new explosive is be-
ing made. Agents from the British gov-
ernment are watching the development
of the munition carefully. Jeffries and
his partners think that the new powder
is the best ever put behind a shell.
Jeffries did not discover the powder
but the inventor who had experimental
with 1t for years, told him and his
brother Jack of its possibilities ana
asked for financial assistance. The JEFF
fries brothers investigated and became
enthusiastic about the stun.
There's been lots OF talk about Jack
Johnsons' in this war, the British name
for the big shells of the Germans"
Jeffries said with a smile, but il our
plans go through maybe we'll be able tc
produce Jim Jeffries' that will offset
them"
It would be poetic justice If Jeffrles'
dream was realized and the exchange OF
screechinE shells would open another
chapter in the Johnson-Jeffries history.
The last chapter closed with Jeffries on
the canvas under a blazing sun at Reno.

FRANCIS OUIMET RATED
AS AMATEUR GOLFER

Boston, Mass, April 24-Crafts w.
Higgins, one of the leaders in Western
golf circles, states that Francis ouimet
is rated as a bonafide amateur by the
Western Golf Association. The former
national open and amateur champion has
received a letter to that effect from Mr..
Higgins. who is in close touch with the
ruling powers IN the Western association.
He is one of its officers, and his letter
probably has their sanction
The Western Golf Association recently
adopted a new set OF amateur rules,
under which Oui1net becomes eligible. In
consequence OF that associations action,
it Is within the range of possibilities that
Ouimet will enter for the w. G. A. anna
teur championship at Midlothian in July.
Should he do so, and Charles Evans, jr..
present national open and amateur
champion, also compete, along with other
prominent amateurs of the Middle West,
a real clash looms up between the West
ern Golf Association and the United
States Golf Association unless the U. s.
@. A. prior to that time listens favorably
to ouimet's plea for reinstatement as an
amateur.
