Making Strength from Milk.

Plenty of milk is one of the simplest
ways of improving the general health OF
children, authorities believe, and home
demonstration agents Of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the state colleges are making special
efforts to create public interest so that
every child will get bis share. In some
cities, where many children have been
found undernourished and undersized,
milk Ia served in the schools. In nine
teen Indianapolis schools 1900 children
have been served half pint Of milk
each school day during the past year.
The milk Is delivered at the schools in
individual half pint bottles. A hole Is
punched In the cap Of the bottle and a
straw is inserted. The children help
themselves as they march past, and
afterwards they return the empty bot
ties to the rack.
This work in Indianapolis is main
tanned by the parent. teacher clubs, but
1t is largely self-supporting. The major
ity of the children pay cents day, or
8 IL cents for milk and crackers. Those
who can not pay get the milk free. The
children are measured and weighed, and
the chart of each child is kept in hia
scho oolroom, so he may see whether be
is up to normal or below. All the chill,
dren are much interested In weighing
what they should. The teachers report
marked improvement in the school
work and want the work continued
The Indiana home demonstration agents
cooperate with the county welfare com.
mittees In weighing and measuring the
children. n.-Weekly News Letter.

WHY BUY WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS =?
b. Jennie Glover Brown.

By Jennie Glover Brown.
Because:
For many years We fooled ourselves
That things could perfect be
Only when they were trademaFked
With the stamp Of Germany.
Az time went on the climax came
To their efficiency,
When War Of diabolic type
Was Made In Germanyl
Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long,
But Wilhelm tried to get the earth.
And Wilhelm got in wrong;
For We bought bonds and Savfngs
Stamps,
That Uncle Sam might send
The food and ammunition that
Would hasten the wars end.
We Hooverized and Storowized
For our dear country's sake,
But we would not be Kaiserized!
We had too much at stake.
Twas not the time to reason whyl
We knew such things must be
To speed the movement that would
kill
The Germ In Germany!
The food We save, the bonds We buy.
And stamps, for many post,
Are paying toward the barbecue
On which said Bill will roast!
That's why we buy the Savings
Stamps,
And we will buy until
4 League of Nations shall decide
To free this world OF Bill!

Why Are Stripplngs Richer 2

Some time ago in our agricultural
class in school we had discussion on
strippings. I maintained that the strip
pings were not the richest part of the
milk. My teacher maintained that they
were. / live on farm and we have fif-
teen cows to milk, and I have to help
milk and care for the milk. I see no
difference whatever between them.
Granville, Ohio. C. W.R.
The teacher was quite right In main
tanning that the strippings are the rich
est part Of the milk; that 10, they will
contain larger percentage of butterfat
than the average of the whole milk and
much more than the milk that is first
drawn.
Analyses, at the New York Expert.
ment Station, of milk drawn from q
Guernsey COW showed that the first por-
tion of S.2 lbs. of milk contained .76 per
cent fat; the second portion consisted
of / lbs. milk and contained 20 per
cent fat; the third portion consisted Of
4 lbs. and contained 5.35 per cent fat !;
and the fourth portion of 5.S lbs. milk
contained 9 8 per cent fat. The average
test for the 1T lbs. milk was 8 "a per
cent, or nearly IL per cent less than
the last portion of milk drawn. Every
cow should be MIXED dry In order to
secure the largest quantity Of fat and In
order to insure her continued milking.
In discussing this question, Professor
Wing OF Cornell University says:
"The variation In the percentage of
fat in the milk first and last drawn is
very great. The first milk drawn is
much the poorer in fat. Differences so
wide as and 10 per cent of fat in the
frst and last pints have not infrequently
been noticed. This is due, in large
measure, to the fact that the large glob-
ules of fat, being of nearly the same size
as the smaller milk ducts, pass along
these vessels less readily than the more
fluid portions of the milk, and are only
drawn out with the last milk drawn.
The milk first drawn has been in the
milk cisterns and larger vessels for q
considerable period of time, and so has
been subject to the reabsorptive action
of the lymphatics for longer time,
which also would tend to make 1t poorer

Candid Weather Forecaster.

At last Is found q scientific weather
forecaster who candidly confesses
that he knows no more about any
weather that Is to come, or indeed that
has passed, than the man in the moon.
This unprecedented winter, with
almost no snow In the city, and hard
ly any cold, is in sharp contrast with
last winter when the mercury regis
tered, in December, Is below. This
only shows, he says, that extremes
follow each other sometimes" AS
for figuring future weather, he says
there are two ways to calculate; one Is
that the average will be kept good
the other Is that 1t will not be. IF
the first half has been above the av'
erage, 1t Is likely those same condi'
lions will continue for an indefinite
period-hence, 1t Is probable that the
second half will also be above the
average; one conclusion Is exactly op-
posite to the other and one is just
as reliable as the other" There you
have the confession and repentance

Junior Cow Clubs.

Boys and girls calf clubs have be.
come rather popular the past few years.
These clubs are stimulating greater
interest In better live stock and are lead.
Ing boys and girls everywhere to desire
to own calf and to take care Of 1t. The
fathers and mothers are taking . deeper
interest in grading up their herds since
their boys and girls have begun to take
an interest In pure-bred or high
grade calf.
The work, ~ . whole, has been very
satisfactory and It is stimulating whole
some interest in better live stock. There
are some discouragemeuts connected
with it, however. The boy or girl takes
q calf few months old and Is required
to keep It two or three years before It
begins to return any profit. In few
instances, the heifer dies before It re-
turns any income; this, of course, is
very discouraging to youngster. The
money loss may be obviated by insurlng
all animals in the calf club, which should
be done In every case, but this is only q
part Of the loss. The boy or girl has
put thought, care, and affection into bis
or her work and money cannot assuage
this loss and the resulting disappoint.
ment.
We believe junior cow clubs would
prove more satisfactory because this
means that youngster would buy q
heifer that is about to fresben or has
freshened and begin to milk and care for
her and her calf. Income begins imme-
distely, reward for service which al
ways intensifies interest and leads to
greater effort to get the best results.
There is large opportunity for the estab-
lishment of junior cow clubs for boys
and girls old enough to care for and
feed and milk q cow.
We suggest that junior cow clubs be
started for we are sure they will meet
with larger reception than even the
calf clubs which have been and are of
value for the development of larger
interest In live stock and training young
people to care for their property

RevIvIna hsraldry.

In the use Of devices and weapons
that linked the great war with the
wars Of preceding centuries, the adop-
tion of q kind Of heraldry by the
airmen revived also the individuality
Of medieval shields and banners.
Sometimes this heraldry turned out TO
be a mistaken symbolism, az In the
case Of the German aviator who en-
blaxonsd his fighting plane with q ba'
yarian lion In pursuit Of French
cock. The smblems varied according
to taste; an Indian shooting an arrow
the flying stork, the Indian head wiIn
which Lufbery decorated bis machine
the winged serpent, an ancient token
Of wisdom and speed; . dove. ana q
comet. In an older time such insignia
would. no doubt, have become hereoi'
tary. In the twentieth century they
served simply to express the brave
payety and humor Of youth.

Two New Steel Towers.

The Forestry Department of the State
of Maine has erected two new steel tow
ers for fire observation within the con.
fines Of Oxford County.
One has just been completed on Axis
COOS Mountain in Lincoln Plantation.
1t is twenty -four feet high.
One Is also nearly completed on
Speckled Mountain in what was once
the town Of Grafton. When finished 1t
will be thirty-six feet high.
Speckled Mountain Is one OF the high
est mountains in Maine and one OF the
hardest to climb. 1t has no roadways
and every bit of the material entering
into the construction of the tower has
to be carried on the backs of the men, q
trip of about 2 1-2 hours duration. As
this material weighs about 2600 pounds,
1t will mean some backsches.
Henry D. Cooper of Augusta Is the
watchman at this station, already on
duty. The station, besides covering for
range of vision the southern part OF
Franklin County and the central part of
Oxford County, takes in large part OF
New Hampshire, with which Maine has
