HOW HELIcoLAND CHANGED
 HANDS,

It was in 1890, when the relations between the British and German em- pires were of the most cordial re- scription, that one of the greatest in discretions ever committed by an Eng fish premier took place-the turning over of the island of Heligoland to the Kaiser in return for the protectorate of Zanzibar
 Lord Salisbury was then directing the foreign affairs of the empire, in addition to being head of the Govern ment- He was approached cautiously by William Ills ambassador at Lon- don. With true Prussian craft the latter pointed out that the gray rock in the North Sea was useless to Great Britain and that his master desired 1t only for sentimental reasons. After alias His Excellency suggested what was it more than small Ger man summer resort under a foreign flag? The prime minister saw light through PruSsian eyes, announced his decision to Parliament, and there was no discussion on the subject.
 Great Britain only woke up few days after the bargain has been con- able was dressed with flags and took part in the procession that went out to take possession. And hardly had the standard of the new owners been raised than work was begun on the Notifications which were to make the island a thorn in the side of the Allies from August, 1914, until the other day.-New York Herald.

.wlNrERINe HORSES.

The winter care and feeding of horses $ an important problem. The summer care and feeding problem is much less so, for the reason that in sumner the horses are more exercised. which tends to ward off. many of the ills animals are heir to during the winter months of enforced idleness.
 The stomach of the horse is smaller than that of the COW, and consequent lS is easier oyerfed. Some farmers economize on the winter feed to an extent that the horses grow thin and become poor in physical condition. This extreme is almost worse than overfeedins. Probably not as far as the health of the animal is concerned, for there is greater danger of losing an oVerfed horse through some dis ease taking hold than with an under fed one.
 Corn fodder is very good winter Iced, provided it is in prime condi- tion. Moldy fodder must never be fed. A little grain should be fed with the fodder to balance the ration. For this purpose equal portions of corn and oats is best.
 Feed three times a day, but not too much at a time. The feeding and watering should be done regularly. It Is also important that horses should be regularly exercised in winter. There must be good shelter, for horses arc susceptible to colds and pneumonia. They should always be blanketed when hitched and obliged to stand in the cold.
 Several weeks prior to hard work horses should be brought up to a fine physical condition, then pressed into service and immured to hard work gradually Special care should be exercised, at this critical point. as horses that have been idle protracted- y are naturally weak and tender in flesh

AMOUNT OF SALT
 FOR DAIRY CATTLE

Dairy authorities point out that the amount of salt required by the indi- vidual animal varies with the amount of feed consumed. A dry COW requires about three-fourths of an ounce of salt per day; the cow giving milk requires the same amount for maintenance, and it is estimated that 8 trif1e over one half ounce per day should be added for each 20 pounds of milk produced. On this basis, cows yielding from 20 to 30 pounds of milk per day require aboue one and one-l1alf ounces of salt. It is optional whether the salt is mixed with the feed or fed in an open trough. One objection to combining it with the ration is the danger of unevenness in mixing, and unless g. difference is made in the amount of feed given, the COW producing 20 pounds of milk per day will receive the same quantity of salt as the one giving 40 pounds. When the cows have access to the salt, they are able to- satisfy their individual appetites, It is claimed that if salt is withheld from the animals for several weeks their vitality will be reduced. Salt is quite essential to the health of the animal in summer and winter.

OBSERVE CARE WITH
 MILK UTENSILS

Most of the bacteria which gets into milk comes from the utensil$ such as cans, pails, strainers, coolers and sep arators, which have not been properly cleaned. The University of Missouri College of Agriculture recommends the following method of cleaning the dairy utensils: First, rinse in lukewarm water as soon after use as possible; second, wash in hot water containing washing powder which will remove grease; third, rinse in clean hot water and place in live steam 15 seconds, drain and place right side up until steam evaporates. On the farm where steam is not available, summing will give effective results. Drying should not be done with a cloth but by heat ing the utensils in steam or an oven sufficiently to evaporate the moisture; fourth, invert in q clean, protected place when dry.

 The worlds food problem, as point cd out by MT. Hoover, includes the need of an increase of three million tons in the production of protein feeds, and an increased production of ore million pounds of diry products.
 If every American farmer will give greater attention to the growing of protein feeds-alfalfs, sweet clover, cowpeas, soy beans,, peanuts, and other members Of the clover family our production of protein feed and dairy products will be greatly in creased. As result, also, our pro- auction of almost every other crop produced on the farm will be greater

 Because alfalfa and a1l feeds are high, we cannot afford to feed the scrub COW that does not produce enough milk to pay for her keep. The dairy herds of France, Belgium and other European countries have been enormously reduced For years to come there will be more than a normal demand for dairy products The millions of children in the war stricken countries, as we'll as our children at home, need milk. It is vii : tai to their health and development. We all need butter.
 | Dairy products furnish Us with pro tein necessary for the building of bone and tissue. The worlds destiny must be carved by vigorous men and wo- l men. If we are to have strong men and women, we must have well-devel- oped boys and girls.
 Do not underweigh the effect which the clover in yoar pasture may have upon the future development Of ciyi- liZation. America alone possesses large fields, .unspoiled by the fire of chemicals and the scars of shells.

Norwich bulletin., 1918-12-11

Nuxated Iron and its widespread sale Git be- ing estimated that over three million people annually arc to-day using it), has led to the offering of numerous substitutes, and these physicians say that health officials and doc tors everywhere should caution the public against accepting substitutes in medicines and they especially warn against accepting substitutes for Nuxated Iron, which, instead of being organic iron may be nothing more than a metallic iron compound which may in some cases produce more harm than good. The widespread publication of the above in- formation, has been suggested by pr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly physician of Belle 7ue Hospital Outdoor Dept0, New York, and the Westchester County Hospital; Dr. Ferdinand King, New. York Physician and Medical Author and others, so that the pub, lie may be informed on this subject and protected from the use of metallic iron un- der the delusion that 1t is Nuxated Iron or at least something as good as Nuxated Iron.
 IL is surprising how many people suffer from iron deficiency and do not know it. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two fve-grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength and see how much you have gained.
