fiance and his parents invite the girl
TO their home. which is a long distance
away, who is supposed to pay the
fare? +. ID.
1t Is not necessary for her to give
her fiance an engagement gift. and it
is not customary for a girl TO do this.

gold or silver fountain pen or pencil,
a gold key-case, short gold key
chain with gold tag for his mono

To Avoid Feed Flavors
Caused by MANY Weeds

In the fall Of the year when the pas
lures get low, creameries commonly
have trouble from what is known as
feed flavors caused from the cows eat
ing various kinds of weeds, writes A.
]. McGuir in The Farmer. Undesirable
fiavors are also caused from rye and
rape pasture and from various kinds
of vegetables, especially onions and
cabbage leaves.
1t is an established fact that feed
consumed by cows exerts the strong
est effect when the feed has been con-
sumed few hours before milking. For
this reason, feeds that are apt to pro-
duce an undesirable flavor should al
ways be fed Immediately after milk
ing. In the case of rye and rape pas
ture, the cows should be turned on
such pasture for only few hours in
the morning after milking. The same
would apply to weedy pastures.
Where the cows have to be fed sup
Elementary feeds, such as bundle corn,
these feeds should be fed in the after
noon, and the cows kept off the pas
ture that is apt to produce undesir-
able fiavors. Silage should always be
fed Immediately after milking, rather
than before

DAIRY
FACTS
BEST TREATMENT
FOR MILK FEVER

The average dairyman Is not great
ly troubled with milk fever in his
herd for this disease affects only high
producing cows. Those who own high
producers, however, should watch
them closely during the first 4S-hour
period after calving, as that is the
time the disease appears, If at all.
The symptoms of milk fever are
restlessness of the COW, stamping of
the feet and general nervousness.
Then follows paralysis in the hind
legs and staggering. In severe attacks
the cows invariably lie down with
their heads thrown back and the muz-
zles pointing toward the TANKS. I'm
less relief is given, milk fever cases
often result in death within "a or SO
hours.
Every dailyman who has heavy
mixers should be provided with a
milk fever outfit" consisting Of an
air pump and test tube, put together
In such way as to make it possible
to initiate the udder- with pure steril-
lied air. Any druggist who does not
carry these outfits in stock can secure
one on short order. However, there
is little use In sending for the outfit
after COW Is down with the fever,
as she is apt to be dead before it can
be delivered. Buy an outfit now if you
have reason to believe that one or
more Of your cows may become affect
ed with milk fever this year. Pump
Ing the udder of a COW affected with
milk fever full of air and leaving the
air in the udder fer u to "a hours Is
practically sure cure. AT any rate
there is no better treatment for this
disease. If you are caught without a
milk fever outfit, get in touch with
your local veterinarian at once, as he
undoubtedly is prepared to give I'M
mediate relief.
