NOTICE TO WATER PATRONS

During the extreme and protracted
severe cold spell many of the patrons
of the Sank Centre waterworks have
allowed the water to run from the
faucets. to keep from freezing up.
There is no criticism to be made of
this, but we wish to urge upon all the
citizens of Sank Centre the necessity
of Immediately shutting off all faucets
in case of a fire alarm being sent in.
By attending to this it may save the

2. Calves born in the fall have

2. Calves born in the fall have a
better chance to grow into profitable
stock. They get the benefit of the en-
tire supply of skim milk, whereas in
spring there are fed on most farms a
lot of pigs which need skim milk. This
would make it necessary to divide the
milk and there might not be enough
so that both calves and pigs would
receive all that was necessary to make
their maximum growth. Fal calves
are in good shape to be turned on to
the spring pasture as soon as ready.
3. Most help and time is available
in the fall and winter for the cows
and calves and it is at freshening time
that cow and calf needs great deal
of care and attention.
4. Tests have shown that no mat
ter what time of the year a cow fresh
ems, her milk will always test little
higher in the winter than in the sum-
mer; this means that 100 pounds of
milk in winter will contain more but
ter fat than the same amount Of milk
produced in the summer time.
5. Another thing of Importance is
the fact that butter fat is worth more
in winter than in summer. Feed costs
more in winter but the other advant-
ages of fall freshening more than off
set the higher cost of feed.
Records of cows taken from Mime
sofa Cow Testing association, compar-
ing productive cows freshening in fall
with those freshening in spring:

Advantage of Winter Dairying or
Having Cows Freshsn in the Fall

From dairy standpoint, Septem-
Der is the best month of the year in
which to have cows freshen. Cows fed
mainly on dry feed when fresh, will
give better flow of milk throughout
the entire year. Prof. Kildee of the
Dairy Department of the State Uni
versity has dairy records showing that
COWS bred to calve in the fall give Is
to 25 per cent more milk per year.
On the other hand, where cows fresh
en- in the spring they are worried by
hot weather, flies, scarcity of pasture,
etc., which causes them to decline rap
idly in milk flow.
Successful dairymen have found
that cows do their best when allowed
to be dry about six weeks before COM
ing in. This being the case, cows
freshening in say the first week in
September would be dry during the
entire month of August and half of
July, time of the year when we have
a great deal of our hottest weather,
when flies are numerous and when
pasture is short.
Additional Advantage of Fall Fresh
ening.
1. It is easier to take proper care
of dairy products in winter than in
summer.

EGG SPECTATOR CAcKLES-
The agricultural dept announces
that eggs are going into cold stor-
age at "a cents per dozen, which is
so per cent higher than last year.
This means that during most of
next fall and winter American house
wives will have to pay so per cent
more for eggs than last fall and win
ter. Figure it out, please. 1t means
so to 9O-cent eggs, doesn't it? Just
aboUt-and, likely, more too, for the
cold storage man will not only put
that SO, per cent extra he's now pay
ing for eggs upon his prices, but his
expenses are going to be higher and
the housewife can safely bet the good
will of her cook that these increases
will also go upon the price of eggs.
You will not rupture, your power of
imagination by picturing yourself,
father and the children coming out
to the breakfast table, cold mornings
next winter, to find eggs 81 the
dozen. Your family, Mrs. House
wife, is in the center of a ring. Cir
cling round and round go high
priced hen food, high eggs, high cold
storage, high everything. You can
sit in that center and tearfully roar
for government help or you can help
yourselves. How? Well, in the case
of eggs, by preserving eggs now for
next winters use. And eggs are a
fine substitute for meat and other
foods that are surely going to fly

But, in every part of this country

corn, potatoes, peas and beans. The
increase in these four fOOdstuffs can
be made simply enormous. If it is,

storied mud hut, with tratched roof.
We entered. Behold what the from
tiersman had created. The long
room was the scene of homely in
dustry. From the centre rafter hung
a big oil lamp, shedding its rays over
patriarchal family as busy as a
hive of bees. BY the clay stove sat
the grandfather feeding the fire with
twigs and tending a brood of chill
dren playing on dirt floor packed
hard, swept clean. From one corner
came the merry whir of grinding
millstones, as a blindfolded donkey
round and round, while woman in
red with a wonderful headdress gath
cred up the heaps of yellow corn
meal that oozed from the gray stones.
More women in red threw the bright
meal high in the air. winnowing it OF
it's chaff; others leaned over clay
mortars. pounding condiments with
stone pestles.
Men were hurrying here and there
with frewood, cooking for the traV-
elers. One end of the room was re-
served for these wayfarers, but the
kiang at the other end was divided
into sections. From each rafter over
