ATTENTION TO CALVING cow
Animal Requires More Care During
Cool Weather Than in Summer
Box Stall Is Urged.

More care is required by the calv-
ing COW during the cooler weather
than is needed during the summer
months, says L. S. Gillette, acting head
of the. dairy husbandry department at
Iowa State college. Lack of comfort
able quarters ut this period has a di-
rect bearing on the milk flow of the
period following.
The main things to be considered
are the health and comfort of the
COW and calf, which are closely related.
A large, roomy box stall is probably
the best place for the cow at this time.
Very light feed Is needed and the wa
ter given should not be ice cold.
Assistance should be given the cow
at parturition If necessary and due
precautions taken 20 prevent her from
retaining her afterbirth. If it is re-
tanned 1t may be removed, thereby pre-
venting Inflammation and other COM
plications following calving.

should be attached high behind and eX-
tend well up toward the belly. The
width of the udder should be as great
as possible. One should look carefully
for the mammary development in the
dairy cow This consists of large veins
which extend along the abdomen from
the udder towards the front limbs.
The veins should be large, crooked
branching out, extending well towards
the front legs and entering the body
through large holes called milk wells.
Such COW should pay her way and

ORCHARD
GLrANINGy
TIME TO MULCH STRAWBERRY
Covering Should Be Put on After First
Severe Frosts and Left Until
Late In Spring.

In our northern ATTITUDES the mulch
should be put on after the first severe
frosts and left on until the ground Is
well warmed in the spring. Where
no form of mulch is used, the fibrous
roots are subjected to periods of al
ternate freezing and thawing with the
result that many are destroyed. The
most desirable mulch is one that con-
tains no weed seeds and does not bury
the plant to the exclusion of air circu-
lation. Wheat and oat straw, swale
hay, coarse, strawy horse manure,
brush and seaweed have been used
more or less, but the fiji st four named
are the most satisfactory.
The mulch should be applied care
fully, else it may do more harm than
good. If too thick, the plants are
smothered and If too thin there is lit
tie or no protection, so about an inch
is sufficient covering for the plant,
with three or four inches applied be-
tween the rows, varying somewhat
according to material and climatical
conditions.
In the spring the mulch should be
carefully removed from the top of the
plants and banked beside them. If
entirely removed, the berries are spat-
tered with dirt during rainy periods
and lose much of their attractiveness
and sale value. The mulch beside the
plants tends to retard the growth of
weeds as well as to keep the fruit
clean.-Maine Department of Agricul-

The telephone buzzer began to call
insistently. And there was one man
who heard 1t. Larry had been stunned
for few seconds. How he might be
wounded he had not the slightest idea.
But that he was hurt he had not the
slightest doubt. He could barely move,
as consciousness returned to him. But
until the call of the telephone reused
him further he had been content to
lie where he fell-and rest. That sig
nal. however, spurred him to logged

found himself in Sir George Wagstaff' s
house in London, pleading with her to
marry him. Soon he gained
control OF his befuddled brain again.
