Feeding Pregnant Cows

Poorly nourished cows give birth
to weak, puny calves which are
hard to raise. The feeding of the
calf, therefore, begins before it is
born The food elements necessary
for the development of the calf are
taken into the stomach of the COW,
digested, assimilated, and trans
mitted to the calf through the UNI
bilical cord, the connection be-
tween the mother and the calf. 1t
is evident that if the COW does not
receive food enough to keep herself
in thrifty condition and at the same
time develop her calf, say special
lists G the United States Depart
nent of Agriculture, both she and
the calf must suffer.
In endeavoring to raise good,
thrifty calves many dairymen hand
leap themselves at the start by not
properly feeding the pregnant
COWS Such cows should have an
abundance of palatable and succul-
ent or juicy feed in order to insure
good body flesh and healthy, thrift
ty condition at calving time. The
calves will then be well developed,
strong, and sturdy, and ready to re-
spond normally TO proper feed and
care.

Chinese Catch and Bury
Spirits of Dead Friends

Indifference to death is one of the
most marked characteristics of the
Chinese, to one accustomed to West
ern ideas But the Oriental's fear of
the spirits of dead relatives and the
strange customs growing out of this
superstition are equally amazing.
If body is properly buried, the
Chinese believe that the spirit of that
person is placated. and will not harm
the living. This results in body be-
ing hastily inclosed in coffin almost
before life is extinct. That is sup
posed to seal in the spirit.
But where this is impossible. nota-
bly, in deaths on the battlefield, the
liberated spirit is regarded by the
Chinese as a terrible menace. When
relatives are informed of death in
battle they raise weird sounds and in
carnations designed to attract the
wandering spirit of which the living
are in such awe. If. during this sum
mons, the breeze stirs a leaf, raises
squirt of dust or moves some other
object, cloth is quickly thrown over
the moving object. That captures the
spirit, and whatever form it may be
in, it is carefully buried. and the rela
tives performing the ceremony fee
freed of an impending calamity.

Farmers Are Warned
of Hessian Fly

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct 6.-Indi-
the Fly Free" date in sowing
wheat this fall, in a letter which is
being mailed to several thousand
of them by Director G. |. Christie
OF the agricultural experiment sta
ton, Purdue university, after con-
ference with the chiefs of entomo-
logy and soils and crops. Director
Christie urges all communities in
the state to cooperate in late SOW
ing. He also points out the neces-
sity of using good seed of known
variety and of using fertilizer.
The Hessian fly is the most de-
structive insect pest of wheat in
Indiana. It will probably be injur-
ious to wheat this year as it was
last. Do not sow before the fly
free date for your section. Watch
the posters for the exact date, see
your county agent or write to the
Purdue experiment station. The
dates range from Sept. 20 in north
ern Indiana to Oct 10 in southern
Your community should cooperate
in late sowing. Sowing late on your
farm will not help much if your
neighbors SOW early.
In sections where chinch bugs
were injurious this year all fence
. rows should be burned, but not till
winter. No weeds or trash should
be left on top of the ground that
can be plowed under. 1t is in these
places that chinch bugs live over
winter. Take every precaution to
control this pest"

Historians Can't Find
Origin of Weather Vane

The origin of the weather vane is
unknown. One of the most ancient of
which there is any record is that men
toned by Vitruvius and the ruins of
the Tower of the Winds. of which he
speaks. still stands in Athens. This
building was erected about century
before the Christian era. He writes:
Those who have paid most atten-
ton to the winds make them eight in
number, and particularly Andronicus
Cyrrhestes, who built at Athens an oc-
tagonal tower of marble and cut on
each face the figure of the several
winds, each looking to the quarter
from which that wind blows.
ION the tower he placed a marble
column, on which was Triton of
bronze holding a rod in his right hand.
And he contrived it that the figure
moved round with the wind so that it
constantly stood opposite it, and the
rod, which was above the figure
showed in what direction the wind
blew

use MOUNTAIN Side
FOR Big MEMORIAL

Stone Mountain, on whose granite
wall is to be sculptured a memorial 10
the Confederacy, is 16 miles from At
lanta, Ga. It will be the largest mon
ument in the world. The space COW
cred will be about 500 feet high and
1900 feet wide.
The project first attracted attention
in 1915, when Mrs. c. Helen Plane,
then SO years of age, a leader OF
Southern women, sent for GutZon Bor-
glum, the sculptor, to come to Georgia
to consider the feasibility of great

Gutzon Borglum was born in Utah
in 1868. He studied in the Cincin
natl Art School and in Paris. He has
made a speciality in his work of life
in the West, where he has lived much
among cowboys and Indians. In Os

FEEDING FOR MILK

For feeding dairy COWS it has
been found advisable to use at least
two palatable roughages, one of
which should be high in dry mat
ter minerals and crude protein.
The other should be carbonaceouS
and succulent in nature.
In this section of the country
the first kind of roughage is most
easily obtained in the leguminous
crops of alfalfa, clover. soy beans
or cowpeas. Silage is the best type
of feed of the second kind.
About two pounds of legume hay
is required daily for each 100
pounds live weight of the COW if 1t
is used as the sole roughage. II
one pound of hay is replaced by PA
to 8 pounds of corn silage most
milk producers get more milk.
A good grain ration is composed
of 300 pounds ground corn, 200
pounds bran or ground oats and 100
pounds of cotton seed meal
A 1,000-pound COW giving 35 to
40 pounds of milk should receive
daily approximately 10 pounds of
hay, 25 to 80 pounds of silage and
Il to IA pounds of concentrates.

But you can't help believing that
when the price and the property
