you know that calves weigh but lit

far more than offsets the food of the

bleak region surrounding Gornitchevo
and Kaymakohalan, in the Serbian
campaigns TO defend their little coun-
try from the Teuton octopus.
IN the Serbian ranks were many
heroic women who dressed like the
men and fought as unselfishly. But
we are to tell about a little woman
a Scot-who exiIed herself from her
native hills Of old Scotland to march
over hard frozen ground powdered
with wind-driven snow on the hills OF
Serbia
Her claim to fame would very prob
ably have never been differentiated
from that OF many an other woman
trudging in the Serbian ranks had she
not been cast by fate into a military
hospital maintained by the British on
that front
In the early winter that saw the
beginning Of the drives which pushed
the BulEaro-G ermans back TO the
mountain known as Hill No. 1912, this
little ScOtchwOman was carted 10 the
base hospital with her whole right

partment OF agriculture says that
this number OF deer can be very
largely increased, since only two or
three states produce more than 1900
deer a year and many less than 1000.
When LOO deer are obtained in
state as densely populated as Massa-
chusetts IL should not he difficult,
says the department, 10 increase the
total in the other states by at least
% per cent Every pound Of venisOn
brought in from the woods should be
made to save a pound OF beef, mutton
or pork raised on ranch or farm.
1.-THE department OF agriculture
strongly urges that all states should
make 1917 a close season on does.
Since the does as a rule average less
in weight than bucks OF the same age.
killing a doe instead OF a buck usual
" means considerably less meat.
Furthermore. the department points
out that the supply OF deer will not
increase IL the breeding stock IS
killed Off The rapidity with which
deer increase when does are protected
is shown by the experience IN Yer
mont, Pennsylvania and other states,
and a doe spared this fall means one
more fawn as well as one more doe
