DAIRY
HINTS
BEST TIME TO DROP CALVES
Question Best Decided by Farm Con-
ditlons, Considering Feed Sup
ply, Pasturase, Etc.


The best time to have calves dropped
is debatable. Some farmers prefer to
have them dropped in late February, in
March, or early in April, while others
prefer September or October. This
question is decided by the farm condi-
tiOns, taking into consideration feed
supply, pasturage, equipment and labor.
When calves are dropped in the spring
they require less close attention and
labor during the first winter and less
pasture during the first summer, since
cows and calves run together, while
the cows may be wintered more cheap
ly by using greater quantity of coarse
roughage
However, if calves are born in the
fall, the cows are in better condition
at calving time; they give more milk
for longer period; the calves make
better use of the grass during their
first summer; they escape flies and
heat while small and may be weaned
just before calving time. Fall calves
should not be weaned until they are
put on grass in the spring. No mat
ter what system is used, all the calves
should be dropped within a period of
60 days to give as much uniformity
as possible to the calf crop.

EVEN CAREFUL
CALOMEL USERS
ARE SALIvATED
Next Dose Of TreaCherous Drug
May Start Misery
for You.

Calomel is dangerous. 1t may salivate
you and make you suffer fearfully from
soreness of gums. tenderness of jaws
and teeth, swollen tongue and Excess
sive saliva dribbling from the mouth.
Don't trust calomel. 1t is mercury {;
quicksilver.
If you feel bilious headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle of DOd-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
1t may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great. No salts necessary. Give
II. to the children because it is per-
fectly harmless and can not salivate.

DOGS GIVEN VICTORIA CROSS
Three Have Been Awarded Highest
British Decoration for Bravery
in Face of the Enemy.

The English in asking that the Vic
toria Cross be awarded to the cat
which so heroically saved her young
during the fire of the Printemps only
follow an example given by the queen
of England herself. To appreciate
the value of this reward we must re-
member that the Victoria Cross is for
a soldier, general or private, the high
est military order.
In the last war at the utmost 30
have been awarded. However, several
dogs belonging to the British army
have received this honor. These were !:
Bob Of the Royal Berkshire, which in
the Afghanistan war saved the life of
several soldiers; Jack, which accom-
plished the same feats at the battle Of
the Alma, and Jerry, the hero Of the
Crimean war, which received from the
city of Dublin a medal and-a dinner.
The odds are that the mess made the
dog happier than the medaI.-New
