BRITONS TAKE MAIL
FROM u. s. VESSEL
Thirty Nine Bags from Norway
Removed from Oil Tanker
by Halifax Officials.
SHIP IS HELD THREE DAYS

New York, March 13.-Mail carried
on an American ship, the Standard
Oil tanker. John D. Archbold, was re-
moved by the British authorities at
Halifax, according to thu officers OF
the vessel, which arrived here today
from Bergen, Norway. This is said
to be the first time that :. ship flying
the American flag on the Atlantic has
been denied the privilege of transport
ing mail from a foreign country,
either neutral or belligerent.
The John D. Archbold took out of
Bergen thirty-nine sacks of mail from
Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The
vessel followed the custom OF other
neutral ships by putting in at Halifax
instead of Kirkwall. There it was de-
tanned three days, according to the
officers, and all the mail taken off for
examination. The tanker resumed its
voyage without it.
Since the German submarine block
ade began no mails have reached here
on Scandinavian or Dutch ships. The
Bergensfjord and Kristianiafjord, the
only two Scandinavian passenger
liners to risk the voyage since Febru-
ary |, sailed without passengers, car
goes and mails.
Detention Of Mail Explained.
Washington, March> h>13.-Detention
OF Scandinavian mail taken from the
Stanard Oil tanker Archbold, is ex-
planned at the British embassy as due
to limited facilities for handling mail
at Halifax, compared with those de-
veloped in England.
In consequence, unless steamer
with mail is willing to wait more than
three days in many cases, it may be
necessary for the mails to be left at
Halifax for n folIowino ctean,er

SEPARATING CALF FROM cow
Allow Young Animal to Remain With
Dam for Day or So That 1t May
Receive the First Milk.

It is we'll to allow the calf to re-
main with the dam for a day or two
in order that 1t may receive the CO.
lostrum, or first milk. Colostrum milk
has a purgative effect which aids in
clearing out the calf's digestive sys-
TEN. If the mothers milk is very rich,
it may be necessary to feed milk with
lower percentage of butterfat.
It is somewhat easier to teach young
calves to drink than it is to teach old
er ones, but in either case it is neces-
sary for the calf to become hungry by
the omission of one or more feeds be-
fore it will drink milk from a pail.
One method Of teaching the calf to
drink is to get it to suck the attend
ants finger as it's mouth comes in con-
tact with the milk in the pail. The
finger can be withdrawn gradually,
and the calf will usually continue to
take in the milk. Patience, rather
than force, is a prerequisite on the
part of the feeder.
