ATTENTION = FRUIT GROWERS!

ATIENI1ON - FRUII UhOW ENo
This is the time of year that your
fruit trees are talking to you. Look
for the red leaves. They will tell you
that the trees are not properly cared
for, and now is the time to mark
those trees and then doctor them lat
er. If your trees have been getting
too much or too little water, they are
telling you now and you should i'm
prove your irrigation system or your
drainage bitches.
Clear out all the trash from around
the trees in order to prevent the mice
from peeling the bark when the snow
is on the ground. Examine the roots
and if collar rot hes set in clean out
and disinfect the afflicted portions
or pull the tree out.
If you don't know what is the mat
ter, mark your trees and call in your
inspector.

Let the Fire of United
Worship be Kept
Burning on the Altar

We may continue our united home
worship next Sunday, Nov. 10, at IL a.
m. by reading first Acts 1:9-11. No
tice in vii the testimony of the two
angels to the effect that Jesus will
come back personally. He "shall so
come in like manner as you beheld
Him going into heaven" said the an
gels to the apostles.
Then read Thess. 4:13-1S, in which
is wildly described the manner of Je-
sus' coming; consider thoughtfully in
verses -16 and II what will happen
when Jesus comes in the clouds. Read
next Rev. 19:11-21, where another and
later stage of Christ's coming is des-
cribed. When He will come, this time,
with power, as king of kings, to des-
troy those who destroy the earth, as
announced in Rev. 11:16-1S. And then
establish on earth a reign of peace
and righteousness as described in Rev.
20:1-6.
Let us mediate on the apparent fact
that it has taken these many centuries
for the Gospel to so leaven the thots
of men as to make them everywhere
begin to hunger for peace of right
eousness, as at this day.
Jesus never forces Himself on any
body. He will not force Himself on
mankind, but yhen the masses Of men
will hunger and thirst enough for a
righteous peace, to crave also for an
righteous Ruler, then Christ
will answer the cravings of mans
heart by coming Himself in power and
great glory, to destroy first those who
destroy the earth and then establish
His rule of peace and righteousness
He has promised it and He will do it
in due time.
Knowing the crookedness of the hu-
man heart, men may well doubt wheth-
er peace and righteousness will ever
truly prevail. The Christian knows
that they will because Christ Himself
will come and fulfill the cravings
which He has implanted in the human
heart by His own teaching and prom
Uses.
Happy they that hunger and thirst
for righteousness, for they shall be
filled.
Men, however, will not learn by
mere hearing. Hence they have tol
learn also by the bitter eloquence of
the lessons of experience. This war
is great lesson.
And let us thank God that we have
the assurance that Jesus, who would
not allow crumb of bread to bel
wasted, will still less allow single
drop of human blood to be shed in
vain. He transforms every pang of
sorrow into steps bringing the race
nearer to the goal, the vision of which |
He has given US.
Having the assurance in Christ that |
He will bring forth the everlasting |
victory of right over wrong and of
peace over war, let US, as He calls us
to it, as co-workers with Him, labor
with all our might to bring it to pass.
Let us give literally toward the
of the Gospel to all the
world. Let us sacrifice to sustain the
Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. war work
and that of kindred organizations and
let us save to win the war. Above all
things let us pray. It is not time to
draw back, but to go forward.

NATION NEEDS DAIRY CALVES
pairyman viii Be Doing Patriot'o
Duty by Developing Reifers-Hints
on Care Needed.

(Prepared by the United States Depart

No dairy calf that gives promise or
profitable milk producer should be
sent to the market to be made into
meat Although meat Is In demand,
these calves will serve the nation bet
ter if allowed to grow and produce
milk and more calves. The dairyman,
too, will be doing at patriotic duty by
developing the heifers, and in addition
he will be building up a more profita-

caring for his young stock. Careful
attention during the first two weeks
often means the difference between a
sickly. understood, stunted animal ana
a large, well-developed one. when 1t
enters the herd as milking COW.
Immediately after birth the navel OF
the calf should be washed with an an
tiseptic solution and tied with silk
thread in order to prevent infection.
For the first feed the calf should have
the first milk from the COW after calv-
ing. and should have its mothers
milk for n week thereafter. The soon
er the weaving takes place the better,
but ordinarily 1t should not be post
poned later than the fourth day. The
sooner the calf Is weaned the more cas-
lily it is taught TO drink. When first
fed from the pail eight TO ten pounds,
or four or five quarts, Of milk day,
fresh and warm from the COW, and d.
vided into two feeds, are sufficient.
The feeding times should be as nearly
regular as possible, and at first 1t is ad-
visabe to feed more than twice day.
The amount fed should be constant,
and to insure this, scales or measur-
ing cups should be used. as variation
tends to get the digestive organs out

should be taken To prevent any diges-
tive disorder, as all such trouble him

Be sure that the milk Is always
sweet and warm.
In feeding use only clean pals.
Feed the calf little less than IL
wants.
Should the calf become sick, reduce
the amount of milk one-half, until the
animal has recovered
The amount of milk fed can be grad
ually increased until at the end OF
the second week the calf receives from
