WATER FOR cows IN WINTER
10 Possible II Should Be rs or 20 De-
orees Above Freexing-Steam
Boiler 10 Handy.

During the winter. when cows are
stabbed the greater part OF the time.
they should be watered two or three
times a day unless arrangements have
been made to keep water before them
at all times, says the United States
Department Of Agriculture. In Farm
ers' Bulletin 743, THE Feeding OF
Dairy Cows The water should II
possible be 10 or 20 degrees above
frsrzing, and should be supplied at
practically the same temperature ev.
cry day. When water well above freez.
ing temperature is stored In tanks
and piped directly TO the COW, there
is probably little occaGien to warm 1t.
When II stands in a tank on which Ice
often forms, 1t usually pays to warm
it slightly. This can be done by
tank heater, by live steam or by hot
water from a boiler. II a boiler is
used for running separator or for
heating water to wash and sterilize
utensils, steam from II can readily and
cheaply be used to warm the drinking
water.

NATIONS LOVE FOR LEGION
"They Like Us--Bur' Is Attitude Of
Public, According to National
Commander MacNider.

"They like us-but" Is the attitude
Of the nation towards the American
Legion, according to Hanford Mae
Nider, commander Of the Legion In the
first address Of his speaking tour at
Philadelphia.
1--WE have to build up a spirit In the
Legion and do the right thing always,
and in time We will have the conf
dence Of the people" Mr.. MacNlder
continued.
Men who offered all they had to
the country have right to the con-
fidence of that country. They should
have voice In Its affairs, for they
never would want TO do thing con.
trary to the country's interests"
By building up spirit among the
members of the Legion and creating a
comradeshlp with "our companions In
arms in England France, Italy and the
other countries" more can be done for
peace than In any other way, the
speaker claimed.

DOES A BARBER POLE HAVE
STRIPES?

TN THE old days the barber used to
he the surgeon. or hlood-letter, as
well as the shaver and cutter Of
hair. for surgery in those times was
confined almost entirely to the re-
moval of blood by means of a cut in
the arm or >leg.
The round brass ball at the top Of
his pole or sign was originally the
brass basin which he used for lather-
ing his customers who desired to he
shaved and the pole itself was the
STAFF which persons held while the
blood-lettng was being done. The
ribbons (now painted stripes repre-
sentec the bandages used during the
operation-the white one being the
bnndage as 1t was first applied and
the red one that which was taken off
the wennd after the patient was
through AS time went on, the func-
tons of the barber we're gradually
taken over by the medical profession,
but his pole remains as symbol of
his former glory.

BURY DEAD ANIMALS
DEEP IN QUICKLIME.
Many Outbreaks Of Infectious

Hog Cholera Is Most Dreaded Scouroe
and Jeopardizes Porker Popula.
tion-oid Metal Wheel Use

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculturc.b
All farm animals that die from I'M
known causes should preferably be
buried deep In quicklime. Many out
breaks Of infectious diseases owe. their
origin to carcasses which were allowed
TO decompose In the open pastures or
barn lots to which other animals had
access. The United States Department
OF Agriculture advises every farmer
who suffers mortality among his live
stock from unknown causes to have u
competent veterinarian make u post
mortem examination and cremate the
remains or bury them deep in quick
lime.
Hogs, next to poultry, are usually
the most numerous live stock on the
average farm. and as hog cholera Is
the most dreaded scourge which jeop-
ardlzes the porker population, II is
obligatory that the carcasses OF hogs
dying from unknown causes should be
burned or buried deep In qulcklime.
An old metal wheel serves as an ex-
cellent base for the funeral pyre. The
wheel should be raised FIVE or six
inches above the ground on three or
four stones, so that fire can he
kindled underneath 1t. The carcass 0f
the dead hog should be placed on this
wheel In order that the carcass VIII
burn readily and thoroughly, 1t should
be slashed deeply with knife so that
the flames may penetrate TO the fat
and all the carcass burn rapidly.
Where horses or cattle die, so much
labor Is involved In digging trenches
of sufficient size and depth TO accom-
modate them that II is preferable to
dig deep a smaller grave and TO dis
member the carcasses so they will tit
in the small space These graves
should be not less than five feet deep
and the carcasses should be covered
thickly with quicklime, which will soon
consume the fleshy portions.
