KEEP THE HERD BULL
IN GOOD CONDITION

The bull Is usually the most valu-
able member of the dairy herd and
should have good care and attention.
He should be provided with comfort.
able quarters, which should include
shed or barn to protect him from cold
and heat; he should be fed all the
roughage he will consume, some succu-
lence and sufficient quantity of grain
to keep him in good physical condition.
If possible, the bull should be placed
In pasture lot that will not only pro-
vide grass but also plenty of room
for exercise.
The herd bull should be handled
carefully and never trifled with. 1t is
best to allow only one man to handle
the bull. This attendant should not
fear him and should be strong enough
to manage the animal properly. AZ
ter the bull is old enough for service,
which is not under one year of age,
he should have a strong ring placed
in his nose and be handled with q
staff. The herd bull should be groomed
and brushed in order to keep his hair
and skin In good condition. He should
be kept separate from and never al
lowed to run with the dairy herd, and
should be allowed to serve a COW only
once while she is in heat-C. H. Sta.

MILK Is ESSENTIAL
FOOD FOR CHILDREN
SHOULD BE KEPT IN THEIR DIET
AS LONG AS 1T Is
POSSIBLE.
BUTTER.FAT IS NEEDED
Milk Contains the Food Elements IN
Available Form For Ready
Digestion.

For the proper nourishment OF the
child it is essential that milk shouio
be kept in the diet as long as possl-
BILE, according to the Food Admlnls-
tration. Not only does it contain all
the essential food elements IN the
most available form for ready dlges-
ton, but the recent scientific discov-
cries show it to be especially rich IN
certain properties that alone render
growth possible.
This essential quality makes it al
50 of special value in the sick room.
In hospitals it has also been shown
that the wounded recover more rap
idly when they have milk.
For the purpose OF stimulating
growth, and especially in children.
butter fat has no substitute. During
this winter when much agitation arose
in some Of the larger cities over tho
price of milk, which was advanced
from two or three cents per quart by
reason of the rapid rise in the cost of
feed and labor, many families among
the poorer classes were found giving
their children tea and coffee instead
of milk. Such methods Of feeding fail
to nourish the child properly. The
widest possible publicity should be
carried on through public channels to
bring these essential facts to the at.
tention of all mothers.
In spite of the shortage of milk in
Germany, that country has at all haz'
ards maintained the milk ration 'ot
the children and in the hospitals,
even though to do so has meant that
the adult population has had to fore
90 largely it's use. In safety first
health campaign it must be remem'
bered that it should be children
first" IL. S. U. Press Bulletin.

UNCLE SAM WILL
VISIT THE FAIR
At SHREVEPORT
Two Carloads of Government Exhth.
it, With War Souvenirs, To
Be Shown.

That the government is encourag-
Ing agricultural fairs this year more
than ever before, is evidenced IN
many ways, including it's decision -
send exhibits to various state fairs.
One of these exhibits, filling two rail-
road cars and requiring 5000 square
feet for display, will be seen at the
State Fair of Louisiana, October 30 to
November 4, inclusive.
In this display all branches of the
United States government will be rep
resented, and it is expected to prove
Dne of the most popular attractions al
the fair. Among the particularly III
teresting exhibits will be specimens
from the Army and Navy Department,
with possibly some souvenirs from
France. Various models, special
pieces Of apparatus and instruments
of different kinds used in investiga-
tions conducted by the governments
bureaus will also be on display. An
other article of special interest will
be a rescue car such as is used In
saving victims of mine accidents
This big government exhibit promises
to be intensely interesting, instruc-
tive and inspiring, and thousands OF
visitors are expected to see it.
The war work of the nation will be
shown in most impressive manner by
these combined displays. The War
| Departments and Navy exhibit can
hardly fail to place Americans more
closely in touch with their boys who
are making more uneasy the heads
that wear the crowns. There are ma.
chine guns, hand grenades, depth
bombs, torpedoes, gas masks and
other things used in killing Fritzies
Every red-blooded American should
see this wonderful display. 1t will be
war show from beginnings to end.
| In arranging to send exhibits to
each state fair and exposition, the
government is giving splendid evi
dence of its appreciation of such in
stitutions in encouraging greater pro
duction and conservation and II
| teaching and inspiring the citizens tc
increase their activities in supper
Of the government.

Milk Is CHEfP
AT Fifteen CENTS
Housewives Should Study It's Food
Value Before Deciding to Give
Up Its Use.

Milk at 10 cents quart is as chear
source of protein as sirloin steak
at 34.5 cents a pound, or eggs at A.!
cents a dozen. Milk at the same price
is as cheap a source of energy as sir
loin steak at PIP cents a pound OF
eggs at 20 cents a dozen. Protein and
energy are two important necessities
for which we eat food. Milk contains
the bodybuilding materials-protein
and mineral substances, such as lime
and phosphorous--needed to renew the
body wastes and promote growth by
forming new tissues and fluids; and il
also supplies energy for carrying on
body functions.
The average person, the country
over, uses a little more than half a
pint of milk daily. 1t is said that the
consumption of milk per capita in the
city of New Orleans is only about one.
half of that Of other large cities. This
quantity can be increased very profit
ably when safe milk Is available. Many
persons think of milk only as a bev.
erage, but if they understood that it
is in reality a nourishing food they
would increase the allowance. Econ
omy in diet does not always depend
on limiting the use of certain foods.
but it is sometimes a question Of &C
tually increasing the use Of foods
which furnish nutritive material at rel
atively low cost. Milk belongs to the
latter class and the housewife would
do well to study it's food value and
decide whether her family is using as
much as it should.-Extension Divi
sion, Louisiana State University.
