Water and Milk.

tits just as important to provide COW
with an adequate quantity of water and
in the right condition as 1t Is to provide
a suitable ration. Milk is 81 per cent
water and Is per cent solids. This fact
needs no argument in behalf OF water.
What we must consider Is how the water
should be supplied and in what condi.
tion.
We have no hesitancy In recommend
ing the drinking cups as this keeps fresh,
warm water, that is, water at temper
ature of 80 degrees F. or above, before
the COW all the time. If this method is
not followed the system of watering the
COW in the manger may we'll be prac
ticed. The next best method is water
ing the COWS twice day from tank
which Ia protected from the cold winds
and where the water may be warmed BY
a tank heater. We would discourage
the practice of giving dairy cows cold
water but once day and in cold place.
Under such conditions no dairy COW will
drink enough water to supply her needs
and, further, what she does drink must
be warmed with expensive feeds. The
result will be q shrinkage of milk flow
per COW per day OF at least two or three
quarts of milk and a larger consumption
of feed. The shrinkage In milk fow 81
the present price of milk would soon
pay for the best kind of watering sys'
tenn. Providing COWS with warm, fresh
water in the barn not only produces
more milk and saves feed, but 10 great
saving of labor which Is no small item
now.
A man who permits his cows to have
water but once day aud that from .

water is not making money with COWS
What is more he is not entitled to make

 Dear John:
 We'll, John, have travelled quite bit since I last wrote to you. Had a
 forty-eight hour pass and with lieu tenant bummed our way to the front.
 We got about thirty miles north of Verdun. We certainly did see some sights. We saw St. Mihiel, In fact, slept there one night. We visited ma
 chine gun nests where the Germans
 made their last stand when the arm istice was signed. There were a large number of horses that had not been buried. We didn't see any Germans AIihiel the trenches were re-enforced with concrete. The dug-outs were all made of concrete and iron. Even the doors were iron. Barbed wire en- tanglements are strung all along the trenches. You ought to see me go over the top. There was no resist ance at all. Around St Mihiel the Germans had young city built right in the side of the hill. There were places for men and also for the ami mals. They had tables under the trees where they came out to eat Why, they even had hammocks swung between the trees. They were living the life of a man of leisure. The towns all along the way were all just tore things all to pieces where they hit. When the big shell hits anything it explodes, so it sure does the work right. There is one town Sdiu to nave q populdtlou oA uNc IHou- sand before the war, and now there
 isn't a wall standing four feet high. When the place was pointed out to me I couldn't see any village. At Verdun
 we saw the underground city. It is
 some place. It is just like a city only 1t is underground. It is electrically lighted. I guess this is about all for his time. Have your letter dated Mo- cember 9th on hand.

Diseases Spread hy Wars.

In the nineteenth century, during the Russo-Turkish wars, typhus spread from Turkey up through Wallachia into Austria. The French suffered from it during the Crimean conflict. In the Franco-Prussian war, the French, being poorly clothed and fed, again suffered. The Balkan war seems to have been notable more for cholera, a summer disease, than typhus, which f1ourishes best in winter.
