KEEP COWS CLEAN IN WINTER
Especially Difficult Task When AMI
mails Are Confined to Stable
During Cold Weather.

During the winter season when
cows are housed much of the time 1t
Is especially difficult to keep them
clean. The only practical way is to
prevent them as far as possible from
becoming dirty. The practical way
to do this. suggests Percy Werner, Jr..
Of the University of Missouri college
Of agriculture, is to use the modern
stall.
When the COW is tied In such stall
most Of the droppings fall into the
gutter, the platform remains reason
ably clean so that the animal does not
become coated with manure every time
she lies down. The manure should
be removed at least twice each day
and plenty Of bedding should be used
on the platform.
II visible dirt is present in the re-
gion of the udder and flanks at milk
ing time it should be removed by
grooming. A covered milking pail,
which can be purchased at any dairy
supply house, will keep from go to
10 per cent of the dirt out, which
otherwise falls into the milk from the
COW during milking.

In connection with the spy and

tried to go. When, at last. men an
noyed her with threats of publishing
the spy story and thus running her
career unless she paid money to them,
she contrived to get word to the
American ambassador in Rome, who
put the wheels in motion for a black
mail trial. whereby Miss Mcvane was
cleared and the men were punished.
She was led to adopt singing as a
profession on the advice of artists and
others who heard her voice In Paris,
where she had gone merely to perfect
her French. When her French instruc-
tors sent her to Milan. with letters to
the composer Puccini. she knew the
leading roles in 20 operas. 1t was re-
ported that Puccini intended to write
an opera for her. but the war alb
sorbed him in other affairs.
Miss Mcvane is something of
psychic. The story is that both she
and her titled lover believed firmly in
the survival of personality after death
and the ability of the disembodied
spirit to communicate with the living /;
and that they exchanged VOWS that the
one dying first would visit the surviv-
or on earth. Ever since the lover died
she is said to have been expecting such
a visit.

der the surface in order to prevent
roofing. Furthermore, dirt floors
should be wetted down at frequent in
tervals to prevent the accumulation or
dust, which is particularly injurious to
hogs where they have to breathe 1t
continually in their sleeping quarters
The use of crude oil Is very helpful in
remedying this difficulty. The floor OF
the hog house should also be well
drained, particularly in the case Of
dirt floors, so that when heavy rain
occurs the run-off water will be car
ried away instead of being centralized
within the hog house to form mud
wallow
The matter of ventilation is often
overlooked in hog-house construction.
Facilities for air circulation are es-
sential. as in properly ventilated
houses there is much less danger OF
the hogs piling up and little. If any,
danger of them going out from the
houses in the morning reeking Win
steam, conditions which usually are
present where the hogs are housed In
poorly ventilated shelters. 1t is also
essential, the department specialists
say, that the hog quarters be provided
with plenty of fresh, bright. dry bed

intervals.

Austin. Tex.-Seltlom has case

The state of Texas claims ownership
In the bed of the river to the center

oppose the claim of Texas under the
terms of the treaty of Spain in 1919,
by which the northern boundary of the
Spanish dOminiOns in Texas was desig-
mated as the south bank of the Red
river.
The federal authorities hold that
the ownership of the Red river bed
areas in dispute belong to the Indian
tribes which owned the adjacent res
ervations, and the state of Oklahoma
maintains that. as meandering
stream, the bed of the Red river is
state property and should be leased
