whether the preparation Of grain IL
any way. such as soaking or boiling, /,
advisable under most circumstances.
Wheat bran is eaten readily by
young calves. Corn has an excellen,
! physiological effect and to great ex-
tent may take the place of fat re-
moved from skim or separator milk.
Experiments tend TO show that corn
! fed to calves should be cracked rather
than finely ground. Ground oats are
good in grain mixtures when available,
but in many cases cost much more per
unit Of feed than corn and bran. The
following grain mixtures are recon-
mended in the bulletin:
a. Three parts cracked corn and
one part wheat bran.
(2) Three parts cracked corn, one
part wheat bran, and one part ground
oats.
t3) Three parts cracked corn, one
part wheat bran, one part ground oats,
and one part linseed meal.
(4) Five parts cracked corn, one
part wheat bran, one part ground oats,
and one part blood meal.
(5) Oats, ground.
Clover hay, alfalfa hay, or the most
palatable roughage available should be
given the calf after the second week
Alfalfa is liable to cause scours, and
should be fed sparingly at first and
increased only after the calf gets ac-
customed to it. At first, hay should be
placed so that it can not be soiled. For
the first six months, at least, the calf
should receive all the roughage of
good quality that it will eat up clean.
When the calf has access to good pas
ture during the first six months, it |
need not receive other roughage. 1t
is not advisable, however, to have the
calf under two months of age on pas
ture in the early spring.

above the bed on which the patien
under treatment is lying, and rubber
tube to carry the solution TO the
wound. On reaching the wound this
tube divides and subdiyides-by means
Of glass joints and elbows-into small
er tubes, which are buried in the torn
and lacerated flesh under treatment
The small tubes are closed at the ends
perforated at intervals Of every hall
inch or so with small round holes, so
that whenever the solution is allowed
TO enter them the slight pressure
which it is under from the elevation of
the receptacle above the bed forces it
into and through all parts of the
wound. Any excess of the solution
drains of-carrying with it the germs
Of infection, and is absorbed by band
ages, which are changed every time
the wound is fushed-usually about
every two hours.
The decrease of the bacteria of in
fcction in the most terrible wounds
under treatment by this flushing"
method astonished even Doctor Carrel
and his assistants until they came to
take its continued success as a matter
of course. The bacteria are simply
killed and washed away, where, under
other treatments, they were left to be
taken up by the already vitiated blood.
The new way reduces the infection
and, of course, hastens healing. Legs
and arms that no surgeon would ever
have dreamed of treating by anything
but amputation in the past, are not
only healed in from one to three
weeks, but healed so thoroughly as to
retain all their former usefulness.
Men that would have been cripples for
life--if they had been saved at all
under the usual treatments have gone
from the Compiegne hospital direct to
their regiments, appearing shortly af-
ter on the firing line.
Perhaps in no military hospital in
Europe is the cooperation between
clinic and laboratory so complete as in
the Ambulance Carrel." A "smear"
for microscopic examination is taken
once day from every wound under
treatment, and a careful record is kept
of the decrease in the bacteria of in
fection. Should these fail to decrease,
the microscope reveals the fact even
before it would have been noticeable |
through a retardation in the rate of |
healing, and means are at once taken
TO find what is wrong and apply the
remedy. The very day that the labor
atory reports that a wound is free of
infection, longer and completer
flush" is given it with the solution,
and it is closed for good. No provision
for draining" is necessary, as sup
puration is at an end. 1t is even prac-
ticable-and apparently desirable--to
close bacteria-free wound over a
knitting bone. Once the infection is
gone, the bone appears to knit all the
faster for having the flesh closed over

AMERICAN DITCH DIGGERS
CUT BATTLE TRENCHES

Among the various types of trench
diggers employed on the battle fields
by Germany and its allies is a big ma
chine of American manufacture which
before the war probably was used for
cutting drainage bitches or making ex-
cavations for pipes and oonduits. 1t is
of the same general character as some
Of those used in many of our own
cities for more peaceful purposes.
Caterpillar treads enable it to negoti-
ate fairly soft fields in spite of its
heavy weight. 1t is equipped with the
usual series of buckets about the cir
conference of a big revolving wheel
end is operated by gas engine
mounted at the front end. The buck
cts are dumped as they reach the top,
the dirt falling onto a belt conveyor
and being distributed along one side
of the excavation-forming a parapet
-as the machine travels ahead. Such
an apparatus requires the attention of
only three or four men and accomp-
fishes the work of hundred or more.

MAN OF MANY FIRSTS
IS DEAD IN EATON

EATON, O., June Backward Cot.
tingham, probably the most interest
ing man in Preble county, died Mon
day at his home on the Lexington
road.
He was truly a pioneer of Preb1e
county and held many distinctions
Among these are numbered the fact
that he walked from Eaton to Hamil
ton to board the first railroad train
that ever ran into Preb1e county. Cot.
tingham was also among the very few
who survived the cholera plague
which swept Preble county In 1S49
He fell victim to the disease, and
for days his life hung in the balance
He also bore the distinction of hav-
ing worked on the first courthouse
erected in Preble county.

On The Boards

The Divorce Question" was the
offering at the Murray last evening,
and was well received by large audi
ence. This play is one of the most
sensational plays OF the day, dealing
as 1t does, with the evils of domestic
life. the lure of the city and the wick
edness and folly of the slums. The
Oliver Players. however present the
various situations with dignity and
thoughtfulness that makes the work
memorable and highly impressive.
The story is of husband and wife
who are divorced. They have two
children who are placed in a home,
where they are neglected and finally
cast adrift on the world. The boy
becomes dope fiend and murders his
sisters betrayer. The action Of the
play from there on takes place in the
home of Father Jerome. Ashton New
ton as "Dopie Doe" the son, gave a
lifelike portrayal of this difficult role
and Miss Dunbar appeared to good
advantage as the sister Mamie. Paul
me Leroy was the mother. Harry
Royal furnished some amusing com
edy, Henry Crosby was the father,
and Glen Argo the girl that wanted
to be married right away.
The Anal performance will be given
Wednesday and will be followed by
