SKINNED MILK FOR CALVES
Since Most of Fat Has Been Removed
in Cream Carbohydrates Needed
to Make Ii Balanced.

Skinned milk is little richer in
protein than whole milk, but lower in
carbohydrates. Since most of the fat
has been removed in the cream the
skinned milk will need carbohydrates
to make it a balanced ration for calves.
A good plan is to replace a portion
of the whole milk with SKINNED milk,
gradually increase the SKINNED milk
with some form Of carbohydrates till
all of the whole milk is replaced by
skinned milk. Fine ground meal is
one Of the best carbohydrate supple
ments to be fed with skinned milk.
Some feeders cook the meal, stir it
in the skinned milk and feed it to the
calf. After the calf is two weeks old
it will eat fine ground meal and if fed
small quantities will assimilate it..
Linseed meal is also used.
Care should be taken in feeding
calves. They should be taught to
drink from the pail as soon as pos
sible. Nothing but clean vessels should
be used and the milk should be clean
and warm.

HIGH-PRICED FEED ANNOYING
Dairyman Depending on Profit From
Cows for Living Must Know Just
What He Is Doing.

Now that the cost of COW feed is
soaring skyhigh and the dairyman is
depending on the profit from his COWS
for his living it is a self-eyident fact
that he must know what he is think
ing about. One thing is certain, the
poor feeder to the poor COW is not in
the race and the sooner he gets out
the better, even if he must hire out to
work for the man who knows how to
do his own thinking.

CHAPPED TEATS ARE VEXlNG
Where Cows Wade Around in Muddy
Yards and Pastures, Teats Often
Get Wet and Cold.

Sore teats of any kind are very I'M
pleasant, both to the COW and the
mixer. A COW having sore teats of
any kind does not stand still during
milking. She keeps moving about and
even kicking.
During spring chapped teats are
common. The cows wade around in
muddy yards and even in ponds in the
pasture, the teats get wet and cold,
and if no special attention is given to
the cows, the teats frequently become
very sore.

(By E. H. HARRINGTON, Wisconsin Ag-

All efforts to supply the consumers
with sweet, clean milk are useless If
the milk pals, the cans, and other
utensils are not thoroughly washed
and scalded before milk is poured into
them. Milk sours so quickly and it is
so difficult to remove the sour odor
from the utensils that these should
be washed Immediately after they are
used.

FOUR MINUTE
 MEN EXPLAIN
 REGISTRATION

Four Minute speakers of this city are called upon to speak for seven nights, successively, previous to the registration under the new law, to eX- plain the general provisions of the new registration. Not only will they make this explanation at the theatres where they usually speak, but at school houses and other places in the various districts. Four-Minute forces will be largely augmented for this particular occasion and there will be few men liable to come under the new law who will not hear of its provis- ions during the week. Copy of the registration form will be posted in front of all the theatres so that men may see what they are expected to answer.
 When the registration date is set these F'our-Minute speakers will be given data covering the facts and will be organized for the drive along the special lines that will be necessary to meet the emergency. The theatres are cooperating in every way possi- ble and a thorough presentation of the subject will be largely due to their assistance. Churches, lodges, clubs and other organizations will probably be called upon to assist.

Disc River and took Morlincourt (east of Noyon' on the Oise).
 The French Army took Quesnoy Wood, just to the west of the Canal du-Nord. The wood was a strongly fortified position. and from it the Ger mans endeavored to check the French pursuit.
 The rapidly succeeding military events not only confirm that the Ger mans have lost control of their oper- ations in the regions of the Somme, Avre and Disc Rivers, but they in dicate that the enemy's own retreat is getting out of hand.
 The effort to stem the French pur- suit by fighting rearguard actions with machine-gun sections, leaving a section at intervals of about 400 yards, was only locally successful. on ground especially favorable for that sort of resistance, such as the ter rain around Rove, it gained some time | for the enemy, enabling him to move a great many guns and considerable part of his material behind the Canal | du-Nord and north of Noyon. | Participation by the American | tTOODS ln NI6neTdl MdllS OpOlebllO1lG in the Juvigny sector was g. complete surprise to the enemy.

fl KNOW YOU SAM COMPERS" CRIED
 80 YEAR OLDLADY
American Labor Leader Visits Boyhood Home in Engand; Calls at Ameri- can Army Headquarters.

London, Thursday, Aug. 29-Sarh- uel Gompers, president of the Amer!- can Federation of Labor, visited his boyhood home today, where he was of great importance in the little sec ton of East London known as Spittle- gate. MT. Gompers had only visited England once before since he left as q boy to seek his fortune in America. His previous visit was nine years ago.
 MT. Gompers was accompanied to- day on the journey to Fort street by several members of the American la bor mission. They went down in two American army automobiles and got out at the street corner. MT. Gompers stopped when he aighted and standing in the middle of the street, recalled many scenes of his boyhood.
 'The old street has not changed much" he said, as he stood in front | of the house which had been his home | for many years. That old public | house on the corner looks exactly as it did when I used to listen to the crowd of old cigar makers discussing politics there in the evening when I was a mere slip of boy"
 While MT. Gompers was talking an old woman of more than 80 years wearing a long gray shawl, hobbled up, looked at the stranger a moment | and then broke in:
 q know you, Sam Gompers," she said. "Many's the time I gave you a piece of my mind when you used to live there," pointing to the house where MT. Gompers was born. The old woman had not seen him since he left London as a youthful apprentice | cigar maker. MT. Gompers spent some time talking over old times with her, asking about various boyhood | playmates.
 The little group of labor men was | surrounded by a great throng ot Spittlegate people, many of them chil- | dren, grandchildren and even great | grandchildren of persons whom Com Pers remembered as neighbors of his father and mother.
 Spittlegate is deep in the interior of London's East End, which is no' so different from New York's Eas Side except that it is greater in exten and much older. Never before haj American army automobiles been seer in remote Fort street.
 In the afternoon MT. Gompers call ed at American army headquarters tC see Mai. Gen. Riddle and Surgeon Gen. Winter Afterward he paid surprise visit on Mai. Endicott, tho l American Red Cross commissioner, a Red Cross headquarters. Arrange ments were made to visit America Red Cross hospitals tomorrow to dis tribute cigars to 700 Americans, sicl or wounded, who recently have arriv' ed in London from the western front
