PRODUCTION OF BLOODY MILK
More Objectionable as Matter Of Ap.
pearanee Than as Menace to
HeaIth-various Causes.

Bloody milk is more Objectionable
perhaps rs a matter Of appearance
than as a menace to health. Hemor-
rhages may occur within the udder as
O direct result of a bruise caused by
rapid motion. by a bad position while
the COW is lying down, by the tread Of
a cow In an adjoining stall, or because
Of the breaking of a tiny blood vessel
or the escape of red corpuscles through
thin vessel walls. Heavy feeding may
also produce bloody milk.
The remedy Is careful milking and
light feeding with laxative foods and
repeated small doses of mild physic.
When the trouble occurs with cows
giving a heavy flow of milk and under
heavy feed, improvement follows q
marked reduction of the ration. A
change Of stall may give good results,
If it allows a COW to obtain a better
position and avoid uneven pressure on
the udder while lying down. Cows with
long, heavy udders should be driven
slowly and should not be driven over
high stills.

BEST PLACE FOR MILK ROOM
Should Be In Some Building Other
Than earn-Northeastern Expos
ure is Favored.

The milk room should be in a build
ing other than the barn. 1t should be
located If possible with a northeastern
exposure. Immediately after being
drawn the milk should be strained and
put in shallow pans to cool quickly.
This applies to conditions where q
milk cooler cannot be used.
Where no separator is available it Is
necessary to cool the milk as o o as
possible to enable the e to rise.
Where five or more cows are MIXED
1t is advisable to invest in o cream
separator, because running the milk
through a separator Immediately af-
ter milking is the best way known for
getting absolutely clean milk, even If
the whole milk is to be used.

IMPORTANT FOR DAIRY CALF
Modern Experiments Show That Good
Flesh Is Desirable Feature-Mix-
ture for Grain Feed.

The Importance of feeding and car
ing for dairy calves is emphasized by
J.. B. Fitch, associate professor Of
dairy husbandry in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
"Calves should be fed whole milk
until they are n month old, when
they should be changed to skim milk"
said Professor Fitch. "They should
be fed skim milk, until they are six
months old. While they are on milk
they should be given grain and alfalfa
hay.
"A good mixture for grain feed is
four parts of corn or corn chop, one
part of oil meal, and two parts of
wheat bran. After taking the calf Off
the milk increase the grain gradually
to two pounds a day in addition to
silage and alfalfa hay.
1T used to be considered that good
flesh was undesirable in dairy calves,
but experiments show that this Is not

cidence Of the suns rays is such that
they are reflected downward to the
windows of the buildings north and

gray surface Is seer to be marked with

Theoretically, n similar effect could
be obtained from some point of OBJ
servation ut each moment when the
suns rays r intercepted by the slop-
Ing top Of the monument, but only an
airship could attain the necessary
vantage point.
To protect the monument from light
ming the men Of science agreed on q
number Of iron bands, heavily galvan-
lied and gold plated to prevent rust

the aluminium point Of the monument
and the framework Of the elevator, and
at the base iron cables lead the cleo
tricity into a deep well, where 1t HARM

ton has proved to be perfect.-Youth's

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, Dr.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, 0vercOmes Kidney Trouble

II is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re.
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex.
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence Of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.

most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp.

TN HE first Washington to land in

General Washington and the first owner
Of the tract now known as Mount

"The heifer should be bred so as to
calve when from twenty.four to thirty
months of age, depending upon the
breed and growth Of the animal. The
Guernsey and the Jersey should be
bred SO as to calve when from twenty
four to twenty-six months old, while

Well to Heed His Counsel,

Such qualities as Washington pos

who lead in revolutionary epochs. Per-
haps some Of the credit must 90 to
the American people for trusting, hon.

and, In n sense, unrevolutiOnary a
leader. He passed from the head of
the country's armies to the head Of Its
government, and as president did
much to create and permanently es-
tablish the nation Of which We are citi-

shall not go far wrong If we heed the
counsel that he bequeathed to his
countrymen in his farewell address.
More than 100 years after his death
Washlngton's memory is held In rev.
erent affection by all who love or

good example might be taken from the

by saying "very sincere" But the use
Of the s%uperlative is even more abused.
We talk Of the "unimpeachable" hon

perfectly well that anybody's honesty
may be impeached. What seems to be
required is a readjustment of our hab-

EXCELLENT Returns
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case Of Mr.. G. Lacy, late Of
Wisconsin and later Of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consln in the summer Of 1914 with
S 1850 available cash in his possession.
He rented a half-section Of partly i'm
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 26O with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head Of young live stock. He was for
tunate in buying feed Mt a bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
lie his pro1ts-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
w. J. Winstead, Of Brooks, Alberta,
says:
II landed in Brooks, March 18th,
1916, with one car of household effects,
and nine head Of good horses, and less
than $500 in cash. I have put $500
worth of improvements on my farm. I
have 81 head Of cattle, 16 head Of
horses, debts all paid, n new automo-
bile, and a good, stiff bank account.
At present prices, I can cash in for
$4,000. I am well satisfied, and ex-
pect to double this next year.
I have threshed altogether 1000
bushels Of No. 1 Northern wheat from
two hundred acres, which went from
"a to SO bushels per acre.
Seven thousand bushels of wheat, all
No. 1 Northern, two thousand bushels
Of oats, 60 bushels Of flax, 700 BUSH
els Of barley-all at market prices
well, figure this out for yourself at the
market price. I sold 300 bushels Of
wheat at $1.74%, am holding the re-
mainder for $500. Also all the oats,
barley and flax for higher prices"
Intelligent farming pays always nc

farmer. Some figures to prove his con-
tention that he has "made good"
In 1914 Mr.. Waffle threshed 40 BUSH
els to the acre from a 3O-acre crop.
This sold for S1.6OA per bushel, which.
after deducting seed, labor, Irvine,

Of $50 per acre, or a total Of $500.

SITE SHOULD FIT THE HOME

Most Of the suburbanites who r
Saving to build a house-the sort they
have dreamed Of possessing-give SO
much attention to the actual plans of
the dwelling that they do not stop to
think at all Of the vast importance
of the houses setting.
There are joys and profits In site
hunting, and the average h%ome-builder
who is willing to content himself with
the first strip Of land in a desirable
nelghborhood with which his real-es-
tate dealer confronts him never
guesses.
Obviously, the average suburban lot
is the '.iat, treeless so by 100" on
which. Of course, there is little posi-
BILE latitude in building. The house
must be oblong and stand on one Of Its
ends about in the center of the lot.

as unsuitable. Like the neglected
creed beds In the farmers fields, they
are generally in odd shapes and wood
ed, the hand of the "improver" hav-
ing passed them as hopeless. In ru-
raj districts where land is rated by its
c~ultivatable area, these are literally
waste and can often be bought for
very little.
One of the least-appreciated kind Of
sites for a. home is the gully or draw.
Everywhere among the hills there are
places where the waters have cut out
a bed to the rocks and q stream
splashes swiftly downward among the
trees.
If you have a definite plan for your
house in mind before you have an idea
for the site. you should seek your site
to fit the home. A chateau would be
out Of place where a bungalow cottage
would be wholly at ease. A barn might
be badly misplaced on the ideal site
for a farmhouse. Your house, as has
been said, is the chief element in your
composition.
