But I should think she'd rather
dread to return to a place where she

in a cosy corner" Of a palace which
save for that one wing-had been
riddled by shells; where she saw men
and women shot down in the streets
like so many beasts. and where ones
life was lived as on the rim of VOL

as he sailed from the door, but with
the American flag for protection, Miss
B. stepped through the door and climb
ed on a railing TO hang the Stars and
Stripes over the portico. It was a
nervy thing to do. and brought forth
a salute from the Reds lounging about
the streets. After that the house was
quite unmolested. That's the sort OF
thing our American women are doing

Royalty Never Free

From JtnI.
Although princes are nowhere so
popular as in republican countries.
they seem to be pursued by an evil
fate in the United States OF America.
Something, perhaps inconsequential
but nevertheless annoying. nearly AL
ways occurs to mar the stay of Wis
iting royalty. For instance. the
Prince of Udine, head of the Italian
war mission and cousin of the King
of Italy. came down with a we'll
. developed case of measles shortly
after he had arrived in Washington
last spring, and during the visit Of
another Italian royalty, the Duke of
Abruzzi, some years ago his silver
toilet articles were stolen by souve-
mir hunters from his yacht anchored
at Norfolk.
Tradition also tells that on the
famous visit OF the late King Ed
ward VII to Washington, when he
was Prince of Wales, he was given a
shower bath OF tallow from the tapers
in the great candelabrum at the
White House while he was being en-
tertained at dinner by President Blu

BARABOO COW
TESTING RECORD

The number of COWS in the 40-lb.
list is somewhat smaller than it was
month ago.
! l am of the opinion that in most
cases the records, as we'll as the re-
turns, would be larger if the COWS
were given better care and the right
feed
! In speaking of the care cow should
have, we must remember to not neg
lect the calf for unless the calf is fed
and cared for as it should be, it is
impossible to make the best COW of it.
Don't neglect the young stock by let
! ting it stand out this cold weather. for
if they will be worth taking care of
when they are mich COWS, why would
it not be worth more to protect them
from the cold during their period of
/ growth?
The young, growing calves and dry
COWS ought to have more than silage
and little hay, for remember the
better shape they are in up to the
| time they freshen, the more they will
yield when they do give milk.
OOIuS IdI ulCIS CSII IuS CuCtC II oOSO
not pay to fed high-priced feed to
their cows. I have been convinced
this winter that if it doesn't pay to
feed the COWS enough to provide the
necessary nutrients for the milk they
are giving, it doesn't pay to milk
them at all. There is such thing as
overlooking, but too many of us under
feed them.
