An English Port. June 25.-American
naval gunners successfully fought off
a big German submarine which al
tackled an American passenger liner of

The encounter occurred at midnight
after the liner had been in the subma-
rine zone many hours. A large number

tenant in charge OF the gun crews,
when the gunners about the forward
guns and also the ships officers on the
bridge sighted the wake Of torpedo

Women Organizing

For Duty in France

The first woman's base hospital unit
in the United States is being organized
for service in France. according to an
announcement, last night by Dr.. Cor
nelia c. Brant, dean of the New York
Medical College and Hospital for
Women. Dean Brant is secretary OF
the new unit.
The unit will be offered to the War
DEPARTMENT for overseas service. thus
precipitating the issue whether THIS
government will recognize women as
medical officers. England has taken
this step, and British women surgeons
are now on duty back OF the lines.
The movement was launched last

cow NEEDS RESTING PERIOD
Some Animals Maintain Good Milk
Flow Right Up to calvina Time
Rest Is Important.

The dairying department of the New
Jersey agricultural experiment station
recommends that the dairy farmer
should remember to give his cows
rest of six weeks or more before they
freShen. Some cows may maintain
good dow % milk right up to calving
time, and in such cases the dairyman
hest .ates to dry them off for rest
period of several weeks. This should
be done, however, and the COW well fed
so that she will be in good flesh when
she freShens.
The work of producing heavy yield
OF milk for ten months or year is
severe drain upon the cows strength
and vitality, and period of rest
should be given her 10 recuperate aud
prepare for another lactation period.
II She finishes her milking period quite
thln in flesh, she should be given Il
longer dry period and more literally
fCd. The loss IF what milk the COW
might prpduce during the dry period
will be hade up several times over
by an increased yield during the fol-
lowing lactation period. A good rest
and liberal feeding preceding the date
of calvinf helps largely to bring about
a good yield during the following year.

MILK AND BUTTERFAT FEEDS
Utilize Every Possible MorseI Of Food
Teeth and Stomach Wear Out
First in Cow

Every possible morsel of food fed to
dairy cows should be utilized for the
production OF milk and butterfat. The
teeth and the stomach are the two
organs of COW which wear out first.
especially the former. This is caused
in great part by the COW having to eat
hard dry unground grain Inere is an
old saying, "No chain IS stronger than
its weakest link" With the dairy cow
also this holds true. Wien one organ
of digestion wears out, then The whole
COW is useless.
A good dairy COW should be kept as
long as possible, and il she is properly
fed and cared for, she will be useful
for about fifteen years. Some give a
nice mess Of milk at the age of twenty
years.
