lay in a visit made to the Office
last week by Mrs. R. De Krauze
of Argo, Ill, according to Mrs. De
Krauze, whose son has just gradu-
ated from college. Mrs. De Krauze
said an employe in the Office
escorted her forcibly to the door,
refusing to let her talk with the
Senator. A conference followed
and the women decided to make a
mass descent upon the Office
The Senator, according to testi-
mony at the trial, expected the
Friday visit, and three policemen
were assigned to guard entrances
to his Office. The women appeared
about 10 am. Pvts. Thomas Nc
Nally and j. T. Smith of the Capt.
tol police force, said the women
chanted: Down with the Union
Jack"
The women said they wished to
present Mr.. Glass with an Ameri-
can flag because he had a Union
Jack-the British naval standard
on his desk.
Sergt. Lidinsky said Mrs. Dilline
was arrested because she apparently
was the leader. Mrs Nibberich wa:
arrested because she asked" to be
taken with Mrs. Dilling, according
to Pvt. McNally. None of the women

During the second week, the calf
receives two quarts of milk morning
and night along with all the hay, water,
and Calf Startena she will eat. Dur
ing the third week, the amount OF milk
is increased to two and one-half quarts
night and morning. But during the
fourth week the amount is reduced TO
only one and one-haf quarts per feed
ing, and at the end OF the week, is
discontinued entirely.
Calves do much better when dry
feed and water are in front of them
so they can nibble at them through
the day" Pratt explains. Many dairy
men prefer timothy or mixed hay to
alfalfa or vine hays because calves
sometimes ovcr-eat on these latter days
and get scourS."
Pratt says that it is considerably
cheaper to raise calf on the dry feed
method; the amount OF saving naturally
depending upon the selling price OF
milk. He explains that on the usual
milk method OF feeding. approximately
200 gallons OF milk are needed to raise
HolStein heifer to four months. On
the dry feed method, only 25 gallons
of milk and four bags of CaE Startena
are needed. One bag CT the latter re-

How many miles does the dairyman
walk in year Juggling milk to his
calves and going back with the empty
pals? How many hours year does
he spend washing calves buckets? And
how much is the milk worth that he
feeds to each calf?
The answer to each Of these ques-
items will surprise the average dairy
man. The answer to the first depends
on mileage made each trip. The an
swer to the second depends on the man
and the equipment he has for wash
ing buckets. The answer to the third
depends on the price OF milk-but it
does take 200 gallons Of milk to grow
. milk fed Holstein calf to sixteen
weeks.
According to E. B. Pratt, dairy spe-
cialist with the Ralston Purina Com
pany. an easier and cheaper way to
raise calves is on dry feed
The plan which he outlines calls for
letting a calf suck for the first three
days. For the next four days, the
calf is given a quart Of milk night and
morning, plus all the Purina Cali
startena she will eat. The latter l.
