South African Shoe Trade.

Cape Province has numerous firms
which manufacture boots and shoes.
Many of these are engaged in the pro.
duction of high-class footwear though,
as a rule, the better class of footwear
that is popular in this country, is OBJ.
tanned from overseas, writes Consul
General George H. Murphy, Cape Town
The foreign producer, with his highly
specialized factories, Is able, with the
aid of the importing merchant, to flood
the market here with enormous guam
titles Of boots and shoes, either made
for the South African trade, or form
ing part of his surplus output. The
result is that the South African pro-
ducer is unable to command a suf1i-
cient market. to warrant extensions of
his plant to meet large calls which
may be made by the wholesaler. He
must content himself with producing
high-grade footwear in small quanti-
ties for the retailer.
Large quantities Of boots and shoes
are being received from The United
States, partly as a result Of the i'm
possibility Of obtaining adequate sup.
plies elsewhere.

When the Doctors pespaIred.

There have been recorded during the
war many being cured by accidental
means, such as a sudden noise or an
unexpected visitor, or as q startling
question, and in one case at least a
midnight fall out of bed. But one of
the strangest cases belongs to for
mer war, observes a correspondent,
where soldier lay 15 months under
the influence of catalepsy. Finally, in
despair, the doctors ordered the bag
pipes to be played near the patients
bed. That did the trick.
There is a story told of a skipper
who had medlcine-chest containing
cures numbered one to seven. For dys-
pepsia he administered a stiff dose of
No. Z. For sprains, No. was the bot
tie, and for rheumatism, No. seemed
to work the oracle. But on a lengthy
voyage the skipper ran out Of No. Z,
so when next member Of the crew
had pain in his middle he dosed him
with mixture of 2 plus 5. Nobody
had another pain during that voyage,
or, at any rate, confessed to having
one.

ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD
PREPARE FOR WAR

The first test man is put thru for
either war or life insurance is an exami-
nation of his water. This is most essen
tial because the kidneys play a most inn
portant part in causing premature old age
and death. The more injurious the pois-
ons passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay-so says DR.. Pierce of Sur
glcal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, who further
advises all people who are past thirty to
preserve the vitality of the kidneys and
free the blood from poisonous elements,
such as uric acid-drink plenty of water
sweat some daily and take Anuric, double
strength, before meals.
This An-u-ric is a late discovery of DIR.
Pierce and is put up In tablet form, and
can be obtained for 60c at almost any
drug store. For that backache, lumbago,
rheumatism, rusty" joints, swollen feet
or hands, due to uric acid in the blood,
Anuric quickly dssolves the uric acid as
hot water does sugar. Take a little An
uric before meals and live to be a hun
dred. Send 10 cents to DR.. Pierce for trial
package OF Anuric.

BUTTER GRADING IS
A PRACTICAL NEED
Just as Much Need With Dairy
Products as There Is With
Other Farm Commodities.

R. M. Washburn of the dairy dlvi-
sion, University farm, says there is
just as much need of grading and
standardlzlng butter as there Is of
standardizlng other agricultural prod
ucts, and that grading will help but
ter just as much as it has helped other
products. s
Grading can be done best near the
point of production, adds Mr.. Wash
burn. This would mean the establish
ing of two or three grading stations
at easily accessible points in Mime
sofa.
Every creamery In the state makes
It's own brand of butter different from
the brand of other creamefles. In
order to get the best prices the prod
ucts should be standardized. This
could be done at grading stations. In
Canada and other countries butter Is
graded, and the graded butter brings
in an average of one cent more a
pound. In 1915 Minnesota produced
126,000,000 pounds of butter, worth
$36,000O00. At one cent more a pound
the return would be increased by ST.
100000.
At the creamery mems conference
to be held at University farm, st. Paul,
January and A, men will be present
who know butter-grading, and the sub
ject will be discussed.

SILAGE FAVORED TO
INCREASE MILK FLOW
Results Given of Test With Dairy
Cows Conducted at Ohio
Experiment Station.

Cows fed a ration composed largely
Of sllage produced II per cent more
milk and % per cent more butter fat
than those given a ration consisting
mainly Of grain in feeding test for
121 days at the Ohio Experiment sta
ton. The silage ration was also cheap
er for milk production. The cows
gained nearly 8 per cent in milk yield
when put on the silage ration. They
produced butter fat at a cost Of 13
cents a pound, while the cost Of a
pound from the cows fed mainly grain
was % cents. There was little differ
ence in the gains in live weight be-
tween the two lots.
In addition to SO pounds Of sllage
and 6.8 pounds Of hay, the one lot re-
celved only four pounds Of grain con-
slsting Of oilmeal and bran. The grain.
fed lot received only II pounds Of corn
stover and hay, but 1873 pounds Of
grain mixture Of oilmeal, eornmeal and
bran.

FINDING A DESIRABLE WIFE
Lonely Young Pioneer Who Did Not
Know How, Found It Was Really
Rather Simple.

In a new settlement in the thick
forest, 20 miles or more from a city
and ten miles from a railway, were
located sawmill and few scattered
homesteaders who worked at the mill
when it was running and attended
their little clearings at other times,
relates writer in the Chicago Trib-
une.
One day in the cooks camp, connect.
ed with the mill, the man and his wife
In charge began joking the homestead
er about being the only settler in the
whole community without wife and
family.
"How can help it?" said he. "There
are no manageable women that
know"
-"Oh, there are lots of them that would
be glad of good home such as you
could furnish" said they.
"Well, you just find me one," said
the homesteader, "and will make you
a present Of the best cow on the
place."
Not to be bluffed, they accepted his
proposition. Then they got busy, run
ming over their list of acquaintances
in the city, finally selecting, for their
matchmaking expedient, an estimable
lady Of their acquaintance, living with
her married sister in the city.
The victim selected for the sacrifice
had reached that age when unmarried
women cease to celebrate birthdays
and begin to regard the tapering end
of statistical possibility with more or
less concern. The homesteader was
about the same age, and, evidently,
just as much concerned about his fu.
ture on earth. A friendly invitation
was forthwith extended to the lady to
spend a week with the cooks family
at the camp. 1t was innocently ac.
cepted.
The homesteader was conveniently
invited to Sunday dinner with the
cooks family, and the tragedy was
staged.
A case of love and desperation at
first sight. In the afternoon, chap.
erOned by the cook and his wife, the
party casually strolled over to the
hOmesteader's bungalow, where they
found everything "spick and span,"
with just enough incongruity in the
arrangement to make the fingers of an
orderly housekeeper tingle with ambi.
ton to put things in their proper cor
ners.
A few months later the records in
the county clerks Office gave a hint
of further developments, which were
staged at the sisters home in the city.
The happy couple at once settled in
their new home "and lived happily
ever afterward."
In the excitement the poor cow was
crowded off the stage and forgotten
by the matchmakers, but short time
later, looking out one morning, they
saw Mr.. Homesteader driving a COW
into camp-as good as his word.

Under natural conditions the young
calf receives nourishment every two or
three hours. In hand feeding 1t is best
to follow these conditions as closely
as possible, but because of the trou-
blue and expense involved it has been
found impracticable to feed calves
more frequently than three times a
day, and in some cases only twice a
day.
1t is the practice of many dairymen
to feed young calves three times rather
than twice day, because the better
results obtained more than pay for the
additional work. When this is done
the periods between feeding should be
as nearly equal as possible. The chief
advantages Of feeding in this manner
are that the calf cannot overload its
stomach, and that the digestion of the
feed is more evenly distributed
throughout the "a hours. When calves
are fed only twice day the utmost
care should be observed to see that
the feelings are, as nearly as possible,
IL hours apart. The Importance of
regularity in feeding cannot be over
emphasized.
Water and Salt.
Many feeders fail to realize the i'm
portance Of providing the young calf
with plenty of water. 1t Is mistake
to think that because the calf drinks
milk it does not need water. After tho
calf is two weeks old 1t should have
access to plenty Of fresh, clean water
at all times, and when 1t is old enough
to eat roughage 1t should have access
to salt.
