QUARTERS FOR DAIRY CALVES
To Prevent Dumping and Jostiing Of
Young Animals Small Pens
Should Be Provided.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Small calves should not be bumped
and jostled about. An easy way to
prevent this is to provide small pens,
not less than four by six feet in size,
in each of which calf may be kept
for the first two weeks. The pens
should be fitted with feed boxes for
grain and racks for hay. After the
calf is old enough to run with the
others it is placed with them in a
larger pen. Stanchions are fixed on
one side of this pen to provide for the
separate feeding of the calves, so as
to insure that each receives it's proper
care. Racks for hay should also be
placed within easy reach of the calves.
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
upon the necessity of having light, dry
quarters for the calves. Bedding al
ways should be abundant and should
be changed often, in order that the
pen always may be dry. Lack of at
tention to these matters is very likely
to allow the development of the vari-
GUS calf diseases.
After the calf is few weeks old, 1t
can stand considerable cold If it is
kept dry and has dry quarters. Pro-
vision also should be made to allow
the calves plenty of exercise. A small
paddock or pasture adjoining the calf
stables is excellent for this purpose.
Except for the very young ones, calves
may be let out in the exercise lot for
short period each day when the
weather is not too cold or stormy.
If the calves are kept together in
large pen it. is very difficult to feed
them by hand unless they are tied.
When they are loose the milk often is

The cows should be kept clean and

a damp cloth it will prevent dirt, dam

WILSON'S WAR AIMS.

Enthusiastically endorses his statement
of their aims, his own words liken
themselves unto the ideals of the

that he is ready to make issue with
Lloyd George upon the statement,
American pacifists of the worst type
find no criticism, and even German
and Austrian socialists and labor
leaders find no plane upon which to
assail the calculated logic of the
American president.
The cool campaign of publicity,
which is being given to all war aims,
is certain to contrast Teutonic ideals
with American. Our allies, it must
be admitted, as shown by their secret
treaties, had no such altruistic aims
before America entered the war, and
President Wilson defined the terms
upon which democracy will be free.
This service of his is worth thousands
of soldiers.

The eastern shipyard strike brought
two notable contributions on the sub
ject of labor and the war. President
Wilson declared "ships are absolutely
necessary for the winning of this
war;" that the strikers were in pain
full contrast" to other workers, and
were giving aid and comfort to the
enemy.
AS if to prove this the American
Federation of labor declared "this is
labor's war" and must be won by
labor" After saying President Will
sons war aims were in adequate har-
Haony" with the views of the fedora
ton, the statement continues:
"Give workers decent place to
live, protect them against condi-
lions to take all their wages for
bare existence, give them agen-
cies whereby grievances can be
adjusted and individual justice as
sured, make it plain that their la
Dor counts in the winning of the
war for greater freedom, not for
private profteering, and workers
can be confidently expected to do
their part"
President Wilson called attention to
the facilities available for wage adj
justment, affirming that "no body of
men have the right in the present cir
cumstances of the nation to strike I'M
til every method of adjustment has
been tried to the limit" He also no.
titled labor everywhere that he real
lied sit is the duty of the government
to see that the best possible conditions
Of labor are maintained, as it is also
its duty to see to it that there is no
lawless and constituencies profteer-
ing, and that duty the government has
accepted and will perform"
We thoroughly approve both state
ments and think they could serve as
a basis of progressive amelioration
of the labor problem. That laboring
man has right to expect bettered
existence needs no argument. Every
man, no matter his rang as laborer,
should be able to earn more than mere
subsistence. At the same time there
are obligations just as important labor
should not hesitate to accept even in
times of peace. There are rights which
the government must protect for all
laborers and some returns in the way
of uninterrupted service which labor
should guarantee the public.

This ordinarily pleasing young per-
son is shown in costume that rather
startled all beholders. There have
been many military fashions, but not
one of them ever came near this for
militaristic appearance. This feminine
piece of apparel is patterned in many
ways after the uniform. The coat is
more full, and the collar has long
points, which are practically the only
differences. Swinging from the Shout
ders is military cape that adds to the.
style of the costume. The skirt is
tight-fitting, so tight that when the
wearer walks, it greatly resembles
trousers. The hat is built on Royal
flying corps lines. The outfit is ex-
tremely natty, and will make, a soldier
girl of any wearer.
