\ hlmy thing of blue crepe with
just a tiny bit of silver embroidery
$685.. The pretty woman halted
at the show window. hesitated five
minutes. Then she went in and
bought it. why should't buy
such things if / can afford TO pay
for them" she argued. 1t keeps
business going"
Pretty lady, there are several rea-
sons why you should not buy crepe
dresses embroidered with silver
when your country is engaged in
war.
The woman or women who made
it might have made a soldiers over
coat i'm the same time.
That is one reason why you should
not have bought it and thereby
caused the manufacturers to con-
tinue employing women in useless
labor
The mill machinery used in weav-
ing the crepe might better have
been used for the making Of cloth
so greatly needed for the overcoat.
If you. pretty lady, refused to buy
crepe dxings the mills would make
something else
And that makes two reasons why
YOU should not buy the crepe gown.
4 third reason is that the ship
ments of the numerous boxes con-
tanning crepe gowns and similar
fripperies clutter freight terminals
and hinder shipments of food and
coal. While men were handling
such useless commodities people
were dying Of hunger and plants
making war necessities had 10 shut
down for lack of coal
on the very evening that YOU first
wore the blue crepe a Belgian child
died of starvation because the relief
ship was late 1 loading; a soldier
from your own town died of pneu-
monia because he had no overcoat,
and the Italian line fell back with
great loss Of life because German
spies spread the report that Ameri-
ca was out Of the war because she
had no coal and no food.
There is blood on your crepe
dress. pretty lady; blood on your
well manicured hands and on your
fashiOnably dressed head.
But YOU say YOU have given as
much as $685. 10 war relief.
Yes. but YOU did not give this

There is today a warning sign

CALVES ON SEPARATED MILK
No Fixed Rules Of Feeding Can Be
Given-Size and Vigor Of Animal
Must Be Considered.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculturel
At least four-fifths of all dairy
grain being used to supply the fat re-
moved. Usually it pays well to feed
whole milk for about two weeks, at the
end of which time separated milk may
be used in part The proportion of the
latter may be gradually increased until
at the end Of the fourth week it is used
altogether. No fixed rules Of feeding
based upon age, can be given, because
the size and vigor of the calf must al
ways be considered. Calves especially
strong at birth may be put on separ-
ated milk entirely at two weeks of age
but this should not be attempted with
weak ones. Until the calf is in vigor-
Gus and thrifty condition no attempts
should be made to change to separated
milk. This change should always be
made gradually.
For the first four days, from eight to
twelve pounds of milk from the dam
should be fed. After this time the
milk may be from any COW or cows in
the herd, but preferably not from any
that are nearly dry. Milk containing
not more than per cent of butterfat
is considered the best for this pur-
pose.
At the beginning of the third week
the substitution of either skim or sep
arated milk may commence at the rate
of one pound a day. The quantity of
the daily ration may be increased two
TO four pounds, depending upon the
vigor Of the calf. The quantity, how
ever, should be kept well below the
capacity of the calf; that is when ii
does not drink eagerly what is offered,
the quantity should be cut down.
At the beginning of the fourth week,
from one-half to three-quarters of the
milk ration should be separated milk
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1918-06-18

During the week the change should be
continued until by the end of the week
only separated milk is fed. With espe-
cially vigorous calves the change to
separated milk may be made about
week earlier.
After this time separated milk may
be fed entirely unless the calf is very
delicate. The quantity fed can be
gradually increased until IS to 20
pounds a day are given. 1t is usually
not economical to feed more than this
unless milk is very plentiful.
The time that milk should be discon-
tinued depends upon its cost in rela-
ton to the value of the calf, its breed,
size, vigor, etc. The season in which
the other feeds available at that time
must also be taken into consideration.
Six months is probably a good average
age at which to wean calves from milk.
When the best of hay, silage, and a
good variety of grains are available,
the calf may be weaned earlier than
when such feeds are lacking. The sea-
son of good, succulent pasturage pre-
sents the best possible condition for
weaving a calf, and when this exists
the calf can be weaned earlier than
when it is lacking.
When the calf is two months old
and if it is carefully watched, sour
milk, whether whole, skim, or butter
milk, may be fed without harmful re-
suits, provided the change from sweet
milk is made gradually. 1t is not We'll
however, to alternate between sweet
and sour.
