Letters TEEN With Patriotism.

Reports have reached me from
many sources of their fortitude and
endurance during the strain of the
war, which have filled me with adj
miration and gratitude. Many have
done more than this. l have heard of
letters from Indian women to hus-
bands. sons and brothers with the
forces. abroad. exhorting them to be
brave in battle. stout-hearted in adj
versity, faithful to. their country and
the throne to the point of death. The
history of India is full of the heroisn
and courage of its women in the
past. The war has shown that their
spirit is una bated.
The women of India are equally
noted for their charity and compass
sion. l know how deeply they have
been moved by the desolation which
the war has brought into many
households. and how ready they have
been TO provide relief for the sick
and wounded, and to tighten the
priEations of their poorer neighbors.

Bound by Traditions.

Il know that by the custom of their
country and the time honored tradi-
tions by which they are reverently
bound the women OF India are for
the most part prevented from under
taking those public and industrial
tasks which their sisters in other
parts of the empire when the man
power Of the country went forth in
it's defense, were able to discharge.
IN the seclusion and solitude of
their homes the women Of India have
had to bear the bitterness of partings,
to suffer bereavement and privation,
to live through days and months of
doubt and anxiety, in ignorance of
the fortunes of the war, and without
tidines Of their absent ones.

securities of legitimate investment
character compete with the govern

ly speculative stocks offered with all
the allurements customarily held out
by irresponsible persons whose prin-
cipal design is to obtain money from
investors without regard to the value
of the stock sold. The operation of
the government in the past, in endeav-

to purchase government bonds, have,
to a large degree, brought into being
very large and new class of investors
who are without experience or knowl-
edge to guide them wisely in making
investments. But the very efforts of
the government agents, in persuading
such persons to become investors, have
prepared the way for promoters to

THE result has been that these pro-

HEIFERS DROP FIRST CALF
According to Experiment Carried on
at Maryland College Thirty
Months Is Best Age.

About thirty months was found to
be the best age for Ayrshire heifers
to drop their first calf, according to
an experiment carried on at the Mary
land Agricultural college. If the
calves were dropped six months ear
lier, the milk flow was lessened con-
siderably, but if dropped six months
later the decrease was slight. This
will vary for the breeds according to
size; the smaller the breed type, the
shorter the time. Eckles of Minnesota
found that this variation would be
three to five months which would
bring the minimum age for Jerseys
and Guernseys about twenty-five
months and for Holsteins, thirty
months. This is for well-developed
animals.

One character common to genius
and to Insanity, especially moral In
sanity, Is precocity. Cesare Lombroso,
professor of legal medicine, University
of Turin, relates that Dante, when
nine years Of age, wrote sonnet to
Beatrice; Tasso wrote verses at ten.
Pascal and Comte were great think
ers at the ages of thirteen, FORMER at
fifteen, Nlebuhr at seven. Jonathan
Edwards at twelve, Michel Angelo at
nineteen, Gassendi, the Little Doctor.
at four Bossut at twelve, and Voltaire
at thirteen. Plco de la Mirandola knew
Latin, Greek, Hebrew. Chaldean and
Arabic, In his childhood; Goethe wrote
q story in seven languages when he
was scarcely ten; Wieland knew Latin
at seven, meditated an epic poem at
thirteen, and at sixteen published his
poem, Die yollkommenste Welt"
Schiller was only nineteen when he
wrote "Rauber." Victor Hugo COM
posed "Irtamene" at fifteen. Pope
wrote his ode TO solitude at twelve,
and Byron published verses ut eight
cen. Moore translated "Anacreon" at
thirteen. Meyerbeer at five played ex-
cellently on the piano. Claude Joseph
vernet drew very well at four. and at
twenty was celebrated painter. At
thirteen Wren invented an astronom-
zeal instrument. and offered 1t to his
father with Latin dedication.
Raphael was famous at fourteen.
Beethoven composed three sonatas at
thirteen. Eichorn. Mozart and Eybler
gave concerts at six. Weber was only
thirteen when his first opera, "Das
Waldmarchen." was presented. Bacon

LIVE STOCK NOTES

A tablespoonful of blood meal mixed
with a little milk is very good for d
calf that has diarrhea or other diges-
tive disturbance, 1t is highly nu-
tritloN for weak calf, too.
The keeping in repair of wire
fences is necessary on the stock farm
and so the wire streteher is handy
tool, both in repairing and building
new fences.
When oats cost no more than half
as much as corn the swine division
OF the University of Illinois recon-
mends they can be fed profltably to
hogs.
Hoys are very sensitive to wind
and cold at night and will suffer just
rs much as Il COW or horse in cold
open houses.
The best results from feeding skim
milk to pigs are obtained when about
three pounds of 1t are fed for each
pound Of grain.
Silage-fed cattle shed their coats
better In the spring and gain quicker
and faster than those fed dry rough
age.
Glover Is an ideal forage for pigs,
particularly the young growth COM
Ing on after the wheat is harvested.
Ensilage Is good stuff to have, but
It is not an all-around feed. Some hay
and a bit of grain should go with it.
Calves will nibble at hay when they
are not more than n week old.
Cleanliness Is quite essential for the
calf indoors.
Plenty Of bedding Is needed tor
the calf.

RIDICULOUS FAD OF FASHION
Description Of Hsad-Dress Worn by
Women Some Centuries Ago Ap-
pears Almost Incredible.

Fashion plays constant pranks with
a woman's hair. Addison says In the
Spectator Of 171S: There Is not so
variable thing In nature as a lady's
head-dress; within my memory have
known II to rise and fall above 30
degrees" In the reign Of Henry vi.
ladies wore horns. having on each side
ears so large that when they would
pass through the door OF room 1t
was necessary to turn sideways and
stoop. II was Judged necessary to en-
large the doors of the Chateau dc
Vincennes. The correct angle for the
hair was 40 from perpendicular, which
entalled great strain upon the hair
growing from the forehead. Little
thought OF what we call cleanliness
or even decency was present at the
hairdressing of that day. Not only
was the hair left untouched for most
revoltingly long time. but materials
were used In the dressing Of the hair
and making the rolls Gas Anna Green

Incredible. The Boston Gazette of
May. 1771. tells Of young woman
driving In Boston streets who was
thrown from her carriage and her high

stuffed with yarn. tow, wool, curied
hair, and even hay.
