There's Difference
Between Discharge
and an Exemption

There's a difference between dis
charge from military service and an
exemption from service, members of
the selective army board pointed out
Friday
Physically disabled men, and If mar
ried men are exempted, will be given
discharges. Ministers or members of
certain religious sects such as Quak-
ers and Dunkards are exempted.
The men discharged probably would
be recalled before the men exempted.
Both, however, may be recalled any
time the government sees fit.

winds have the effect of driving the blood of the animal from the surface to the internal organs, which frequent ly results in diseases of various kinds.
 The COW should be isolated a few days before the calf is expected. This will prevent any possible injury or worry either to her or to her offspring. She should also be kept out of reach of hogs. At this period COWS become cross and they should be handled carefully in order to prevent danger to strangers or owners.
 If a COW does not clean properly within 10 to 12 hours, artificial means should be taken immediately because the prolongation of this condition is likely to injure the delicate organs and impair her as breeding animal. If the membrane does not come with the calf or soon afterwards, the COW should be given at least one pound of epson salts dissolved in 1ukewarm water. This is for COW weighing 900 pounds. The dose must be increased according to the weight of the COW above 900 pounds.
 Immediately after parturition a COW does not need heavy feeding. At this period she is feverish and her appetite is poor. She will, however, eat food when put before her despite the fact that her digestive system has no use for 1t. This feeding will help to ere ate more fever. Plenty of cool water should be given her, and after 10 to 15 hours feeding is in order. Feed should be gradually increased as the COW gains in strength.
 Calves should be protected from the weather and insanitary surroundings. The COW should be milked four to ten hours after calving. This will allow the calf plenty of the first milk. Sub- sequently the COW should be milked regularly. When her feverish condi- tion has left her after the third day, the milk is fit for human consumption.
 Grass is the natural food for the COW. She does better on it than on any other feed. Whenever grass is not available ensilage should supple ment it. A COW will respond readily, both in milk and in health, when she is fed on a variety of feeds.

SORE SHOULDER IS
 EASILY PREVENTED
Collar Fitting Horses Neck Snug- Iy and With Flames Properly
 Adjusted Are Urged.

A good collar, fitting the horses neck, and names adjusted to fit the collar without too great down and side draft will do much to prevent sore shoulders, says Dr. M. H. Reynolds, veterinarian at the Minnesota College of Agriculture. Sore shoulders can be prevented easily by little care at the right time.
 Collars must be kept clean to avoid sores. Many cases of sore neck are caused also by loose names saving back and forth until the top of the shoulder is raw.
 "Some horses have abnormally shaped shoulders. In this case, the agricultural college veterinarian sug- gests Dr. J. c. Curryer's plan of soak ing the collar day or two in water just before 1t is used on the horse. While soft from soaking, the collar will adjust itself to the horses shoul- ders.
 Prevention" he says, 'fs easier than cure" but there are several sim pie remedies recommended. "White lead ground in oil is good. Stove backing is a useful remedy. It forms a smooth surface over the sore, thus preventing chafing, and has mildly as- tringent properties"

MEANT TO SURPRISE THIEF
Cooks Idea Was a Brilliant One, but the Family Did Not Dine on
 That Turkey.

Maybe your wife wants a cook p was queried of the insurance man af- ter some general conversation.
 "Why, I think she does," was re- piled. "That is, I think our cook is going to leave next week. It is a cook you can recommend?"
 T can recommend her ito the top notch. Let me tell you how smart She is. The other day brought home fine turkey, and I may add that I al- most broke myself in buying it. As the weather was cold, I told the cook to dress 1t and hang 1t on a nail out doors. My wife was not at home that afternoon and knew nothing about the turkey until I happened to mention it, at about nine o'clock in the evening. Then l went out and lifted 1t off the nail and brought it in to exhibit it. We both called out in astonishment as we gazed at it. About teacupful of paris green had been poured onto it's inside and the outside of the bird was turning green in spots.'
 Good gracious! But what had your smart cook done?" exclaimed the in- Surance man.
 ''Well we put it up to her, and she explained:
 "'You see, MT. Brown, you said it was to hang outdoors all night It would most certainly be stolen by some one, and I fixed it so that it would make the thief mighty ill when he had devoured itP"
