LEFT BOTTLE AS SENTINEL
And Two Weary Privates Had Per-
fectIy Good Explanation Of Where
They Got the Champagne.

About 10 o'clock on the morning OF
the brigade's arrival at a beautiful
little town that looked, under the
morning summer sun, as II it might be
a million miles from the battle front.
the peaceful was a~ccentuated
by two boyish privates Of squad II
size, obviously strays from their COM
pany. at the side of the street just
around the corner from headquarters.
One vas sleeping. as only a soldier
who has e Ave days of battle can
sleep. his head dangling carelessly
over q mud-stained pack. The other
had shoe of. and was regarding
ruefully. but rather ~listlessly, his cap

Before them, as conspicuous as the top
sergeant at morning roll call, stood, in
Its labeled and tinseled glory. an
empty champagne bottle. Every rank
from sergeant to brigadier general
passed them, tried to look shocked, and
failed.
By-and-by the second private
stretched his foot over the curbing
and went to sleep. too. 1t wasn't until
afternoon that n noncom, rounding up
stragglers, awoke them.
"Where did you get that cham.
pagne?" asked the noncom with mo-
tives beyond question:
SWELL" explained the smaller Of the
pair. I'VE hadn't had anything to eat
but iron ratione for ave days, and not
much of that, then we lost our outfit,
and when we landed here we started
out to buy something. The only thing
on sale In the whole town was a bottle
Of champagne. 20 we bought that

Outline Of Results Secured by Expert'
at North Dakota Station in
Feeding Calves.

Any successful method that will cut
down the period of feeding whole milk
TO calves is usually welcomed by dairy
men. Experts at the North Dakota
experiment station have used flaxseed
and skim milk WITH good results in
the following manner:
Whole milk was fed for the first
three weeks. Then during the age
from three weeks to six months skim
milk was fed with enough flaxseed to
take the place Of the fat in whole
milk. Each calf was given two gal
Ions of skim milk a day.
Calves fed in this manner did not
do quite so we'll the first three months
as a similar group of calves fed whole
milk, but at the end Of the six months
there was practically no difference in
condition except that the calves fed
whole milk averaged about four
pounds less in weight. But consider
ing that $40 worth of whole milk per
calf had been saved in the six months
period. the 8 Of flaxseed was con.
sidered the better practice.

~,rvcx RAYS o. Sun Counterfeit What
ever Care Has Previously Been
Made to Keep Cool.

(By r, MCANN, Colorado Agricultural
College. Fort Collins. Colo.)
A great part Of the value OF keeping
cream cool on the farm and at the
station or creamery is lost In the
cream being exposed to the direct rays
Of the sun while being hauled from
the farm to the point Of sale. Far
too few people stop to realize the i'm
portance of covering their cream cans
when bringing them in to town. tx
pensiye jacketed cans are not a neces-
sity to keep the cream cool; in sum-
mer weather just an ordinary piece OF
clean wet burlap or blanket thrown
over the cans will keep the tempera-
ture Of the cream as much rs 20 de-
grees below what it would rise to II
left uncovered while being transported
over the average hauling distance.
