by the intelligent use of a super
iorly blended calf meal, but what
we are most interested in now is
some of the other factors which
have to do with the health and well
being of the calves.
Both sunshine and feed should be
available so that the calf may have
choice as regards the meeting of
his needs. The calf that has access
to an outside run whereby sunshine
and fresh air is gained, practically
always shows good judgment in re-
gard to the needs for each. Some
times the calves should be prevent
ed from going out into the sunshine
particularly if the days are too cold
but one must use his judgment in
these regards. -..., -. ..-.- ..- -s
To promote exercise which gives
the calf a chance to unbend his
limbs and thus promote growth, a
reasonable size paddock is in order.
The feeding and sleeping quarters
should be kept scrupulously slean
so that they may always be COM
Portable and sanitary.
In providing ventilation, one
needs to be careful to fix things SO
that cold draughts are not expert
enced; this needs to be watched
much more carefully in the late
fall, winter and spring months than
during the summer time.
Many folks make mistake in not
keeping clean, fresh water before
the calves at all times. Since most
of the growth of the young calf is
water and since he needs so much
of it to promote his digestive and
other functions, it should be avail
able at all hours of the day or night.
The feeding utensils must be kept
very clean and a good summing of
the equipment every day helps out
wonderfully. The utensils should be
placed when in summing in such
manner that the sun gets to the in
side so as to promote proper sani-
tation through sunshine disinfec-
tion.
! One needs to watch carefully for
vermin such as lice and get rid Of
them when they are first observed, /
otherwise they multiply rapidly and
create much discomfort and much
disturbance.
Then too the wise herdsman sees
to it that when the calves are in the
barns they are not confined to dark, |
dingy, sultry quarters but are kept |
in stalls that are we'll lighted, pleas
ant and we'll aired.
Finally one of the greatest eau
tions to observe is not to overfeed
for more calves are lost from over
feeding than underfeeding when the
feeds are right.

There are no trumps and 2 is in the
lead. How can Y Z win five of the eight
tricks against any defense1
Solution: 2 should lead the six of
spades, which A B can win, either (a)
in AS hand with the nine of spades, or
(b) in BIS hand with queen Of spades.
(a) Suppose A wins the first trick
with the nine of spades. AS best play is
the six of hearts, which Y wins. The
latter should now play the queen of
diamonds, on which Z should discard
tine eight of spades and A the seven of
hearts. At trick four, Y should lead the
ten of clubs and A should refuse to win
the trick. At trick five, Y should play
tine jack of clubs and A should again
refuse to win the trick. At trick six, Y
should lead his last club and A is forced
to win the trick. Y 2 must now win
heart trick and thus score five of the
eight tricks. ...-.
If at trick two A had led the queen
Of hearts and followed with the six, z

Solution to Problem No. 2

should win the trick and lead the FIVE
of clubs. If A plays the ace, Y must
play the ten and again Y 2 must win
five of the eight tricks. .s ...z
If at trick two A leads the queen Of
hearts and follows with the ace Of
clubs, Y should again play the ten Of
clubs and the result is the same.
If plays the seven of clubs at trick
two, Y should win the trick with the
ten of clubs, lead the queen Of dia-
monds and follow with the ten of
hearts. Whether A wins this trick or
not, Y 2 must make five tricks.
(b) Suppose at trick one B decides
to win the trick with the queen of
spades, then his best lead is the four Of
hearts. If Y is allowed to win this
trick, he should lead the queen of dia-
monds and 2 should again discard the
eight of spades. From now on the play
is similar to the first solution and w
must again win five of the eight tricks.

Chief Of Bureau OF

ticularly market milk and cream,
until the point is reached where all
the people, whether they live in city
or town or one the farm, will be
provided with an abundance OF
dairy foods of high wholesomeness
and quality, is one of the most I'M
portant concerns of the dairy in
dustry of the United States, says o.
e. Reed. chief of the Bureau of
Dairy Industry, in his annual report
on the work of the bureau, which
Secretary Hyde of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture made public in
Washington on Tuesday, December
8.
Reporting upon the bureaus milk
quality-improvement project, Mr..
Reed says that this is considered
one of the most important features
of the work of the bureau and the
regional dairy extension specialists.
AS result of the cooperative ef-
forts of the bureau and the extern
sion services of the State colleges
of agriculture, considerable pro-
gress in quality Improvement has
already been made in several
states, the report says.
ITO reach the goal of general high
quality is largely matter of get
ting before the dairy farmer and
others of the industry the facts re-
garding the practices which have
been found to give the best results"
says the report "To stimulate the
development of comprehensive
plan for improving the quality of
milk, a great deal of work has been
done, not only in planning programs
but in making them effective in sew
eral states"

and the Extension Service in quail

Reed. He says that suggested pro-
grams for quality-improvement have
been drawn up for the use not only
of the adults who are the dairy far
mers of today, but also for the club
boys and girls who will be the dairy
farmers of tomorrow.
The quality-improvemert work is
now in progress in many places,
with the bureau, the State extension
services, State and city departments
Of health, and other agencies, all
cooperating. Some dairy commun-
ties have made marked improve

Yule and Druid rites. These mer-

and the cold more intense. Ac-
cording to Frida Davidson, in Nat

burned sacrificial fires to appease
the angered sun god. The sun
paused in his path as If to listen;
then no doubt pleased by the at

Great rejoicings and more fires.
Those altar fires are connected in
