DO NOT APPEAL TO VISITOR
Writer Frankly Expresses Feeling Of
Disappointment at Sight of Build
ings Within kremlin Walls.

To me none of the ten churches with
in the Kremlin walls is impressive.
Ivan Veliki towers the highest. but it
is far from imposing. writes Maynard
Owen Williams in the Christian Her
aid. From one side it resembles a tow
er rather than church, yet it has no
such quiet dignity as one finds in the
kutah Minar, near Delhi. or the tow
ering dome of St. Sophia with its
fianking needle minarets. The other
cathedrals are dropped around with
careless abandon and nice disregard
for the cost of gold leaf. but none Of
them dominates a vista or gathers
about itself the other masses in pleas
ing array. The Kremlin is mighty
whole, composed of many unimposing
parts. It's long red walls and splendid
gates produce an effect of simple
strength which cannot be found within
their portals.
The interiors are as disappointing
as are the groups of domes which dis
tinguish the exteriors. None is large,
none is truly intimate The effect is of
surplus gilt and multiplicity Of saints
which remind one of the gopurams of
India. Spindle-shanked saints, whose
emaciated figures seem too weak to
support their gilt haloes, alternate
with knights in armor.

GUARD STOCK FROM PoIsoNs
In Many Instances Loss OF Cattle and
Sheep Could Have Been Pre-
vented by. Precaution.
prepared by the United States Depart
rnent of Agriculture

(PrepaPed by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Many sheep and cattle are lost from
eating poisonous plants and other ma
terial. In many instances a little fore
sight on the part of the owner would
have prevented losses. To cite one
specific plant, most stockmen in the
eastern part of the country know that
laurel is poisonous, and yet they will
pasture their animals in a woodland
pasture in spite of the fact that laurel
abounds. Sometimes a few, at other
times many, animals are poisoned.
Other poisonous plants abound in
both the eastern pastures andn the
western grazing lands, many of which
are definitely known and easily recog-
nized. A little precaution through fenc-
ing and selecting pastures would ma
terially reduce the deaths due to plant
poisoning. Larkspur, lupine, water
hemlock, darnel grass, wild cherry,
loco, white snake root, wilted sorghum
and oak brush (shinnery oak) are the
more common plants which exact a
heavy toll.
Inorganic poisoning of farm stock is
also far from being Of rare occurrence
Common salt is definitely known to be
very poisonous to hogs and chickens
in comparatively small quantities. Soap
powder in swill has been the cause of
| death of swine. Antiseptic tablets and
rat poisons also have caused deaths
among farm animals. Patent rat
pastes, and even fireworks, have been
eaten by fowls, which died later from
the effects of phosphorus poisoning.

SERVING the Commonwealth.

There are many crosses and trials
In the life of one who is endeavoring
to serve the commonwealth, but there
are also two permanent sources Of COM
fort. One is the support and sympathy
of honest and reasonable people. The
other is the conviction dwelling for1
ever, like a well of living water, in the
hearts of all of US who have faith in
the country, that all we do in the fear
of God and the love of the land, Will
somehow be overruled to the public
good; and that even our errors and
failures cannot greatly check the ire
sistable onward march of this mighty
republic, the consummate evolution Of
ages, called . . to destiny grand
er and brighter than we can conceive,
and moving always consciously or un-
consciously, along lines of bencficent
achievement whose constant aims aud
ultimate ends are peace and righteous
ness.-John Hay.

annoying the Inan in the silo, and also
lessons the danger of being struck by

Add Water at Cutting Time.
Oftentimes the corn fodder is so
dry when it is cut that it is necessary
TO add water to make up for the de-
ficiency in moisture and provide for
the proper packing of the silo. This
water is most easily added to the
blower when the corn is being cut, and
it is also more thoroughly mixed with
the cut material in this way.
For the top layer of the silo it is
good practice TO use heavy green stalks
from which the ears have been re-
moved. This forms a heavy layer that
packs well and at the same time con-
tains smaller amount of food matev
rial so that the minimum loss is susS
| tanned if it spoils. Various methods
and materials have been used for COW
ering the top of the silage to prevent
! its spelling. None has given complete
satisfaction, but the one mentioned
! above has given as good results as
any, especially when the top layer
was thoroughly wet down and packed
firmly by tramping. The best prac-
tice is to commence feeding as soon
as the silo is filled, in which case
there will be no loss of silage through
decay.

my danger but could not get around 1t.
1t was a common sight in Belgium
to see small donkey and common
ordinary milch COW hitched together,
pulling a wagon. When l first OBJ
served the unusual combination, l
thought it was a donkey and OK or
bull, but closer inspection revealed to
me that COWS were being used for the
purpose.
From that l was able to observe
there must be very few horses left in
Belgium except those owned by the
Germans. Cows and donkeys are now
horses and mules. Altogether l spent
nearly eight weeks wandering through
Belgium, and in all that time don't
believe l saw more than half dozen
horses in the possession of the native
population.
One of the scarcest things in Ger
many, apparently, is rubber, for
noticed that their motor trucks, or lor-
ries, unlike our own, had no rubber
tires Instead heavy iron bands were
employed. [ could hear them come
rumbing along the stone roads for
miles before they reached the spot
where 1 happened to be in hiding.
When l saw these military roads in
Belgium for the first time, with their
heavy cObblestones that looked as If
they would last for centuries, l real
lied at once why it was that the Ger
mans had been able to make such
rapid advance into Belgium at the
| start of the war.
| 1 noticed that the Belgians used
| dogs to a considerable extent to pull
! their carts, and 1 thought many times
| that if l could have stolen one of
those dogs it would have been very
good companion for me and might, if
the occasion arose, help me out in a
fight. But l had no way of feeding it
and the animal would probably have
starved to death. l could live on veg
etables, which I could always depend
upon finding in tue fields, but dog
couldn't, and so l gave up the idea.

The cutter should be adjusted to cut

Milk and milk products are the best
human foods known.
Cows must have shade during the
heat of the day in summer.
A good dairyman does not keep
cows; he makes his cows keep him.
Diarrhea is the most common form
of calf troubles met with in hand-raised
calves.
All good dairy COWS should be given
a name and every COW should know
her name.
The pals used in feeding calves
must be kept strictly clean and used
for no other purpose.
Milk and milk products should be
more widely used on all our farms
during this period of our nations food
shortage.
Cream spoils when it gets warm.
Market or ship cream three times
week in hot weather and twice week
in winter.
Much skim milk which formerly
went to the feeding of calves, pigs and
chickens must now be utilized for hu-
man food.
Constant vigilance is the price of
healthy calves, and the feeder must al
ways be on the lookout for conditions
of securing.
Where one has number of cows
and considerable dairy products to
market some kind of refrigeration will
be Indispensable.
1t is not reasonable to expect profit
able returns from cows in warm wealth
er when they must stand in the hot sun
and fight flies all day.
Great care should be taken in wash
ing the milk pals. These should be
thoroughly scalded with boiling water,
or sterilized with steam if possible.
Nearly all calf disorders are caused
either directly or indirectly by lack of
cleanliness, and clean conditions con-
stitute the best preventive of disease
in the calf herd
The need of this country is not so
much more cows as it is better cows,
more properly fed and cared for.
One .: 1Ee easiest ways in which to
improve the egg production in most
docks is by breeding to strong, vigor-
Gus males from winter-laying strains.
The most critical periods IN the life
of the young calf are at the age of
four to six weeks, when the feed Is
changed from whole to skim milk, and
six to ten weeks, when the calf is be-
ginning to ea: grain and hay.

MYSTERY IN OCEAN CURRENTS
No Scientist Has Been Able to Explain
Satisfactorily the Many Vagaries
of the Waters.

There are as many vagaries in the
waters as In the winds. Why, for in
stance. should great ocean currents
send their warm waters across the
wide Pacific and Atlantic? Other and
equally mysterious currents exist in
well-nigh all parts of the world.
1t is on record that the water has run
for weeks out of the Java sea, through
the Strait of Suda and thence back
again for the like period without any
perceptible rise and fall during those
times
Then there is the Equatorial current
that flows into the Caribbean sea, the
ever-fowing current to the eastward
around Cape Horn, the cold stream
flowing from the icy regions of the
north past Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia and along the American coast
to the extreme end of Florida, the con-
tinual current running with a velocity

and ends nowhere in the vicinity of
the same place, and the current which,
starting half way up the China sea,

Then we have those tidal vagaries

experiences IN Belgium.
I think that one of the worst things
l had to contend with in my journey
through Belgium was the number of
small bitches. They intercepted me
at every half mile or so, sometimes
more frequently. The canals and the
big rivers l could swim. OF course, l
got soaked to the skin every time 1
did it, but L was becoming hardened
to that
These little bitches, however, were
too narrow to swim and too wide to
jump. They had perhaps two feet of
water in them and three feet of mud
and it was almost invariably case of
wading through. Some of them, no
doubt, 1 could have jumped if 1 had
been in decent shape, but with bad
ankle and in the weakened condition
in which 1 was, it was almost out of
the question.
One night l came to a ditch about
eight or nine feet wide. l thought 1
was strong enough to jump it and it
was worth trying as the discomfort 1
suffered after wading these bitches
was considerable. Taking a long run.
| jumped as hard as l could, but |
missed it by four or five inches and
landed in about two feet of water and
three of mud. Getting out of that
mess was quite a job. The water was
too dirty and too scanty to enable me
to wash off the mud with which l was
covered and If WAS foo wet tO Scraup

and scrape it off then.
In many sections of Belgium through
which l had to pass l encountered

distance l followed them and they had
not gone very far before l saw what
they were after. They were commit
ting the common but heinous crime of

thought that the boat itself would

fields, 1 climbed up the stern of the
boat leisurely and without any partic-
ular plans to conceal myself. Just as
my head appeared above the stern of

Wonan Frozen to Ground.

During a cold snap last winter
Mrs. John Baker of townsville took
bucket of hot water and went into
the yard to clean the concrete pave
ment. She splashed the water around
and used the broom vigorously, when
suddenly she realized she could not
move. She made determined efforts to
move her feet, and experienced fear
full cold chill as thoughts of paralysis
flashed into her mind. She screamed
loudly for help, and her husband, who
came running, found her shoes were
frozen to the pavement.
With a vigorous jerk he yanked her
loose, almost pulling her out of her
shoes. 1t was a thankful wife he led
into the house to warm her feet.
