RAISING THE CALF.
The making of baby beef is a subject
well worth the attention of tarmers, and
the following advice Is gleaned from
acme a the best Information as given
out by experts in that line.
After selecting a calf of the proper indl-
viduallty and breedings it remaine for the
farmer to properly feed and care for it,
go that he may develop, it according' to
ha possibilities. Unless it is properly
cared for, no matter if of the very beat
Individuality, it will never make a win-
ner In this respect. One of the best feeds
that can be used tor development is cowl.?
milk, Therefore it is best to eelect a calf
whose mother is a fairly good milker, if
thes can be done without stuet•ificIng
good individuality and breeding..Sech a
cow should yield at least two an,d, one-
half gallons of milk per day. When the
calf is young It 'will not likely be able to
consume eo much milks and, in that case
the x•emainder should be allowed to nurse
the cow in order to prevent any likelihood
of the udder spoiling. Even after the
calf is older and able to take all of the
miles, it Is best to strip the udder by
hand, after each nursing, that no milk
n ay remain. Allowing milk to remain
in the udder has a tendency to dry up
the cow.
TEACHING THE CALF TO EAT.
Eor the first six to eight weeks after
birth the calf should lee permitted to run
In the pasture with the cow. AA the
end of this period they should be kept
In separate pastures, allowing them to-
gether at the barn or feeding pen but
twice a day, morning and evening, to
nurse.
When from three to six weeks old, the
salt will begin to eat grain, and It is
then well, even while running with its
?nether, to begin feeding It morning and
evening. .4. handful of a mbcture corn -
,posed of equal parts be' weight of
ground corn and oats and wheat bran,
;supplied at each feed in a low box not
within reach of the cow, is a good start-
er. If avallable, ground kaffir, mllo
maize or feterita may be substituted for
the corn.
The quantity of the ration should be
gradually increasing according to the
appetite of the ealf. It is seldom that
a calf at this ag.e will eat more than is
good for it. Atter the calf its three
months old, says Profeasor John C.
Burns, of the University a Texas, well-
bala.nced and effective ration me.y be
formed for It as follows:.
1, The proportions by.weight &T three
parts ground corn, lcaffir corn, mile
maize of' feterita, thre parte-oats, three
.parts oats, three parts wheat bran and
". one part cottentieed tinsel, fed in connec-
tion with roughage. • •
2. Tho proportions .by weight of one -
part cottonseed meal, two parts wheat
bran, four parts ground corn, kaffir,
milo maize of feterita, fed in connectloh
with roughage.
While either of the above Is good, Nel
retion is conaidered superior on 'ac-
count of .the high value of the oats for
calves. Aarimals vary in their appetites
and dige.stive ea..pacities, some being able
to consume more food to advantage than
others.
FEEDING' HAY OR SIMILAR
ROUGHAGE.* •
The amount of hay or similar 'roughage
needed will, of tourse, be less when the
calf mut have access to paature than if
kept ill a barn or dry lot altogether.
But either case soine good quality had
'nest be fed. Not more than one-half
per 100 pounds of live weight, per day.
will be required while the calf is graz-
Init. But if not grazing. it ehould be
given about one pound aer 100 pounds of
live weight per day, of course venting
eccording te the amount of cencentretes
being eaten.
Ifealfalfe is available, it may constitute
about 'half of the roughage to advan-
tage, especially if neither pasture nor sil-
age can be had. Id other words. about
equal parts of alfalfa hay and ono of the
other /tans would afford greater variety,
and would likely give better results than
using only ene kind of hay.
If silage is fed the other stock some of
it call be given the calf, thoroughly mists
Mg it with the concentrates of any of
the rats'ons stated to advantage.
Enough of ft may be used to take the
plaee.of about half of the hay otherwise
recommended. It will ,generally bo beat
to suPPIY the concentrates to the self im-
mediately after it. nurses, morning and
evening. If may then be given its hay.
_and plenty time allowed for et to eat
it before turned into paatuee. Some
&enters prefer supplying the hay in the
.pasture field. Where tee calf is kept
up during the day it istnuld be web to
supply et a little hay at noOn.

NERVOUS AILMENTS
Few people realize that nervous ail-
ments, often arise from digestive trou-
bles, The stomach fails, for some rea-
son, to digest food properly. Then the
sYstem languishes and the nerves be-
come exhausted in striving to contiaue
their work. 'Impure blood also causes
nerve troubles, but frequently it is In
the stomach where the mischief starts.
As the nourishment is carried to the
nerves by the blood, it will be seen
what an important connection exists
between the stomach, the nerves and
the blood, and how such troubles as
nervous headaches, nervous dyspepsia
and insomnia, may `begin.
In each cases relief is easily obtain-
able by means of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. These pills replenish the blood
with the food elemente on which the
nerves thrive; at the same time they
exercise a tonic influence on the di-
gestive organs, enabling the sYstem to
derive nourishment from the food tak-
en. By this perfectly natural process
nervous ills are eteadily dispelled by
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. If you are
suffering from nerves, or require a
bloodemaking tonic, give these pills
a fair trial, and see how speedily the
best of b.ealth will be yours.
You can get these pills through ana

Briiish Pioneers 3
+-•
The British Army has undergone
changes of a far-reaching character
since the outbreak of war in 1914, and
it now possesses many branches un-
heerd of in pre-war days, Every re-
source afforded by the manifold capa-
city of this great industrial cominu-
nity has been harnessed to the war
chariot. ,
There are certain respects in which
the problem by which the British
army is fecal is unique; and one of
the most striking of these is that it
be capable of campaigning in any part
of the world and in any climate. In
the case of armies like that of Germ-
any, on the other hand, the problem of
preparation for war was relatively
simple. The ground on which the
Ary Was destined to fight was
known; it was an armi designed to do
battle in a particular theatre—Eurepe.
In censequence everything could bee'
and was, planned along certain well-
defined lines, and this egplains many
things which are familiar to the mili-
tary expert, but which the lay mind
finds it• hard to understand, without
"inside" knowledge.
It Is, in short, one of the penalties
of a world encircling Empire that Ito
armies must adapt themselves to the
enemy's methods of fighting; meet,
in fact, learn from the enemy. This
has been proven again and again, as
the merest tyro in military history
cannot fall to remember, and a re-
markable and valuable military char,
acteristic of the )3ritish people is the
capacity Which they have of learning
trora an enemy, and Of, very soon,
playing his game better and more
thoroughly than he.
In the present war the importance
of field works was apparent at a very
early stage partly owing to modern
artillery, arid partly to the confirmed
entrenching habit of the Germans.
One of the carditial instructions given
by tho German Commanders to their
troops on first invading France and
Delgiurn was—"make trenches every-
where." In fact all the Continental
powers had recognized in greater or
less degrees, the important part will&

rortance of tho last named can per-
haps only be realized by one Rho has
seen the roads during an advance.
But, while the Continent was to this
extent prepared for trench warfare, as
was natural in the circumstances, it
a as otherwise with Great Britain.
la the British Service only the Indian
Army Possessed pioneer • regiments,
these trout' being alwnys necescary
in conducting campaigns in the hill
country. It was not till the need for
tais class of troops became evident
that they were added to other sections
of. the army. Thenceforth steps were
at once taken to form pioneer batta-
lions for the Expeditionary forces. In
the New Army theae opportunities of
training in purely pioneer work, and
In many _instances they had the assis-
tance of Indian pioneer officers. From
the first they proved their value.
Lord. French, on the arrival in
France of the first pioneer units sent
out, said that they appeared well ad-
apted for their work, and that theft
equipment was suitable.
Pioneers are prepared to fight or
work as may be required. At times
they May act in c:o-operation with the
Royal Engineerz, and they porforin
such services as the construction and
repair of communication trenches,
fire-trenchee, and dug -outs, the digg-
ing of trenches and wiring. Their du-
ties are manifold, and there is no
form of usefulness at the front which
the pioneer does not at one time or
ether find himself called upon to
undertake. His activities range from
carrying up animunition to retrieving
wounded (many a wounded soldier
owes his life to the ready aesistance
of these handy -men of the battlefield)
or holding a fiercely disputed trench
or sap.
In the great advances on the Somme
and in Artois the pioneers performea
work of the greatest importance. Tho
duty of coneolidating the captured
ground and connecting It up v,•ith the
old front line of the attackers, large-
ly fell to them. In many places they
took part in the advance as infantry,
In others they kept the advancing
lines supplied with ammunition and
water, and beat off counter-attacks.
Their losses have been heavy, but they
have accomplished their tasks in the
face of every obstacle.
As a rule, the pioneers remain in
the vicinity of the trenches all the
time their division is in the line, and
do not go back for rest, except at long
intervals.
-The pioneer is as yet a new type in
the British Army,, but he has along
since passed the trial stage, and has
proved his worth and steadfastness,
His metal has been tried in the cruet-
ble of aver and very thoroughly it has
stood the test.
BURDEN OF WORRY.
To -day's Enough; Never Mind
Yesterday's or To -morrow's,
A. wayfarer carried a heavy sack,

unceasingly. From none could he

And as he slowly journeyed, groan-
ing under his bufaen, the Angel of
Opportunisivcama to him and spoke
kindly, saying:
allrether, what carriest thou?"
•"The man answered surlily, "My
worries." '
The' angel smiled pityingly upon
him and said, "Let us look into thy
burden. and examine they worries."
. And so they looked in. But lo, the
sack was empty.
"Why surely!" cried the man,
"there were two great worries, too
heavy for mau to bear; But—ah, yes,
I had forgotten—one was a worry of
yesterday; and• so it is gone."
"And the other?"
'"That—why, that was. a worry of
to -morrow, and it—it has not yet
yet come.a
• Then the aagel smiled with infin-
ite pity, saying:
• "Hearken. He who bows himself
down under the worries of yesterday
end to -morrow wears himself out for
imught. Be he who carries only the
worries of to -day has no need of a
sack for his sorraws. If thou wilt cast
this black thing aside and give all
thy strength and cheer and courage
to the things of to -day real misfortune
never can burden thee."
Wondering, the man did as the an-
gel commanded.
And as he took up his journey and
went lightly, swiftly on, his heart and
his hands were free to relieve many a
brother wayfarer of his burdens and
to pluck uweet fruits and flowers
along the wayside.

BALLYRUDDEN
THE MAN FROM
(13y Patrick MacGill, Author of "The
Great Push," Eta)
The night was ebony black, but etill
and warm. The summer clouds hung
very low and seemed to be thrusting
the heat down on the watchers iu
No -Man's Land. The covering party
lay in a line amidst the grasses, a
space of half -a -dozen yards between
each man and his mate. Galley, an
Irish rifleman, eves there, lying face
down to the ground, the smell of the
earth heavy in his nostrils and the
dreams and thoughts engendered by
such a night running riot in his head.
Ho was very sleepy, for he had had
no sleep the night before. All that
day lie had been very hard at work,
for the trenches were in a bad state.
Parapets had been blown down by
German shells; machine gun em-
placements had been levelled to the
earth; sandbags flung broadcast by
the fury of war, had filled up parts
of the communication trench, All this
had to be remedied, and all day long
GaheY sweated at his toil. Now, when
night had fallen, the barbed wire en-
tanglements had to be repaired and
the engineers were set to work on the
job. The infantry holding the trench
supplied the covering party and
Galley was one of the men who went
out.
As he, lay there in the grass lie
could hear the engineers at work,
hammering- in the posts, buckling the
supports and pulling the wires taut.
They were as quiet about it as was
possible; but to the tensely strained
ears of Gahey the noise of labor came
like the rumble of artillery. The eue-
my would surely hear it too.
He may have done, but perhaps he
had his own working parties out and
thought it wiser not to take any no-
tice. Now and again Galley fancied
that he could see dark forms stand-
ing quite motionless and very near
him, but probably his eyes played
him false and the objects might be
tree -trunks trimmed down by shell-
fire. He was very sleepy and his
chief wish was that his job might
soon cease aud allow him to get back
to his trench.
"I wieh the sleep wasn't so much
in my eyes," he muttered. "I'm afraid
that I might drop off for a snooze in
a minute This won't do. I'll
nip my leg and keep myself up to
the mark Right in the thick
of my leg."
He caught the soft of his thigh be-
tween finger and thumb and pinched
vigorously. Once, twice, thrice. He
almost screeched with the pain.
"It's the only way to do it," he said
apologizing for the pain he had in-
flicted on himself. "If I don't pinch
like blazes I'll maybe drop off
That won't do and the life of me
mates depending on me and others
like me
He pinched his leg again, then rap-
ped his knuckles against the butt of
his rifle. • He kept on rapping until
one of his fingers was bleeding.
"It's a damned funny caper, this,"
he muttered. 'It has got to be done,
I suppose. I3ut they don't know at
home what we've got to go through
out here. This is a war in defince of
civilization," he said with a low
laugh. "Here I am doin' my bit by
lyin' down on my tummy and rappin'
my knuckles against a rifle. Well,
I suppose it's one way o' carryire on.
What would they say at home in me
own town, the town of Ballyrudden,
if I told them that in France I spent
all my days working. with a spade
like a man on a potato patch, and all
my nights rappin' my fingers on a
rifle -butt? Oh, glory, laut it's a funny
war!"
Galley became sudenly alert as a
Starshell went up over the German
trenches and a dark object was dis-
closed meving , in the grass some
eight yards away. What could it be?
A German crawling out awards the
British lines, Gahey thought. He grip-
ped has bayonet :with a steady hand
and got up on one knee. At that mo-
ment he heard the man next him call-
ing out in a loud whisper: "The right
flank has encountered an enemy pa -
troll Reinforcements! Pass it along!"
Gahey passed the message along,
stood upright and rushed at the fig-
ure which was lying in the grass.
"Who's there?" he hissed, as he
stood over It.
The click of a rifle bolt was the
only response and Gahey gave the
figuree a kick. It rose upwards with
a whimper and shot its hands over
its head. It was a German soldier.
"Kamerad!" he appealed. 'Wife and
three children!"
"If ye yell like that again a harem
and a school cif children won't save
ye," said Galley. "What the divil are
ye comin' atween me and a fight for,
anyway?" Ire thundered. .
"Kamerad!" whined the German.
Galley wae very aanoyed, A fight
ou and he had to take charge of a
prieoner! It was a job not to his lik-
ing. From the right "came the sound
of ritles and yelling, The nien from
the left were rushing by, and one took
shape opposite and made to pass. Ga-
lley reached °in a long arm and grip-
ped the tnan by the shoulder.
"Let me be!" gs.sped the man. "I
want to get up to the fighting."
"Take charge of this man," said
Galley In a voice of command. "Take
himaback to the trench now! Get be-
hind him with the bay'net and take
him in."
The soldier, a young fellow Of nine-
teen, newly out, had heard of Galley
and knew him to be one of the most
reckless and daring men in the bat-
talion. He obeyed Gahere command'

and took charge of the prisoner.
Then Gahey doubled oft to the right
where the fight was in full swing.
"Not much of a fight it was," said
Galley afterwards, when giving an ac-
count of the scrap. "It lasted for just
a minute or two and I had only a
couple of jags at the buckos. It was
a poor lot we came on; and they had
no love for the bayn't, It always
makes me mad to see them. refugia'

to fight. But I suppose it's In the
make-up of some of them to behave
like that I haven't seen what
I call a good fight since the last liar -

It was on the morning after the
'scrap" that Gahey was speaking. lie
looked at his listeners and drank a
cup of tea from his sooty mess -tin.
"Ballyrudden was the place for a
fight," he said. "It was a place to
warm tho cockles of a man's heart,

a sight to see!"
He fixed a contemplative eye on
the empty mese-tin.
"Ballyrudden for ever!" Ile said in
a sloW' voice filled with longing.
"Ballyruaen for ever and the' times

MEDICAL SCIENCE
HEALTH AND HOLIDAYS.
'The first thing to think about, when
planning how to get the utmost of re-
freshment and health from the annual
holiday, is the decision rie to what con-
stitutes, for tho particular individual
concerned, a real holiday. It is clear
that an essential element in the holi-
day is change, not change of air and lo-
cality only, or even necessarily at all,
but change of occupation, of strain, mem-
ta' and ,physical, leith fresh Interests and
Aland!.
It is very little rest or change for the
tired housewife to take her family away
to seaside or country lodgings, wh••re
she takes with her all but a few of her
household cares and duties. The change
of air would do her irttle good if she
could not at the ame time find change
of occupation and a respite from respon-
sibility. To gee the most out of her holi-
day she should leave the house and fam-
ily to look after themselves or jw looked
after by someone else, 'and get into
quiets hotel, boarding house or farm
house, where sho could have rest and
peace with fresh air, exercise and chnirge
of scene and surroundings.
7he office worker af sedentary habits
will doswell to make his holiday as out-
of-door and changeful as passible, though
this does not mean that he should un-
dertake violent physielal strains'or very
long strenuous walks. Such a system
will do him more harm than good. A
quiet and loafing walking tour with a
congenial companion, or alarm, is the
type of holiday 'which will tend to leave
him rested and invigcrated for the year's
work. It is, however, a bad plan to
keep this end continually in view. Exer-
cise undertaken for the sake of its
healthfulness and not for its pleasure
rarely gives full value; the pleasure is
a great part of the treatment.
THE TREATMENT OF FLAT FOOT.
"Plat foot," -the popular name for the
condition in which the longitudinal arch
of tho foot, or the "Instep," gives way
and flattens out -is very commonly cats -
ed by much standing and persons who
-work in factories, standing at machin-
ery, nurses, waiting and tectists models,
aro very usual sufferers from it. It is
a painful and ungraceful deformity, af-
fecting the walk and with It the carriage
of the whole body, while the feet ache
and throb so much that standing is an
agony.
A. great deal may be done in the way of
treatment both to alleviate the discom-
fort, and in some case to effect an ac-
tual cure. 'Where the •calze is an old one
the best that can be done is to wear a

TUBERCULOSIS IN rovn.s.
(13y Dr. D. Kauff, .Poultry laves*
gator and Pa.thologist for the United
Statee Department of Agriculture).
In 185 a german phyalcial (Recovered
that tuberculosle in humans was due to
a germ, Later e. dieease in eat-
tle was found to be duo to a germ close-
ly resembling the Mat, and further that
the disease of cattle was transmitted to
hogs and chickens whiolt followed thent
in the barnyards. The germ or bacillue
cf fowl tuberculoxis is a slender rod -
shaped gertn, which can be atained and
observed under the microscope. it
must Mt magnified at leant 1,000 times
to be visible to the eve. This acid-fast
germ causee alseane In fowls ane pos..
sably other birds, from which. Can be
isolated by iabaratory methods, a similar
organism to that producing tuberculosis
In persons and cattle. It differs in
minor details, and is considered as being
another type from the other two.
HOW FOWLS GET GERMS.
Like hogs, fowls often follow the trail
of cattle in the feed lot, picking up un-
digested corn and other grains, lf tho
eatlie aro aftliatea evIth tuberculo'als,
the birds are likely to receive these viru-
lent germs and contract the disease. Hogs
are known to centract tubercumals in
the same way, and later distribute the
disease to others.
Naturally fowls afflicted with tuber-
cular ulcers give oft germa of the (Ilse
ease, and as the habit of fowls is to
pick up their food from the ground, it
is an easy matter for the diaease' to
epread throughout a flock.
Fortunately, tuberculosis la not, a. very
common diseaae, and for that r reaeon
very few breeders are familiar Nilth it.
lt is not generally known that a bird
may be afflicted with tuberculosia and
Yet show no outward signs of the disease.
J e such a bird is ehipped in a crate or
kept In a pen, which crate or pen is
later used for other binds, the new
birds aro likely to contract the disease.
CARRION SPREADS DISEASE.
Birds which have died of the disease, it
the premises are a constant znenace to
other fowls. Crows, buzzards and other
carrion birds are apt to feast upon these
bodleis and still further add to the dan-
ger. The moral of this tale Is to be
careful and deeplk bury all carcases,
preferably in lime, or better still, if pos-
sible. burn them immediately thay are
found. Not only the bodies of birds af-
flicted with coritagioue diseaees ahould
be burned or burled, but all animal
matter should be so treated.
Dogs, cats, rats, mice and other en-
rols. even 'Wesel's, serve to spread the
disease. The germ are carrled on the
feet and in the fur of theze creatures,
and carried from yard ,to yard, some-
times spreading' the contagion for hun-
dreds of miles; This is one of the rens
sone for a rigid quarantine ughinst all
conta.glous diseate of bird.
The Department of Agriculture esti-
mates that the total annual loss of
poultry from disease alone is 0,500,000,
of which tuberculosis takee a certain
toil. Though it, is an uncommon di-
sease, it is so malignant that poultry
keepers must learn to recognize it. We
must talco a firm stand in stumping
and keeping out Oliis disease by acting
as soon a it appeats. even though it
takes some of cur best birde. An ad-
verse attitude in the cattle business was
very costly in 'vein() cases, and we
hould profit by that experience.

To determine if a fowl has tuberculosis,
it is beSt to perform an eautopsy at the
early moment. Lay the dead bird on
its back, head from you, and remove
soma of the .feathers from the under
side of the •bady; then with a sharp
knife make a cut atong each skle of
the breast bone -grasp the back part of
sire bone. and Some it forward. break
and remove It. This lays open tlfe oi•-
gans of the abdominal cavity. In the
centre of the cavity•will be noted &large,
brownish -red organ -the liver. If
tufferculosis• is Irresent in this _organ
there will appear small round gray.lib-
white pearl -like bodies which are hard
to the touch. These small lumpa may
be found throughout the liver. The
liver may also be enlarged. These small
tubercles may be found scattered over
the surface of the web-like 'stsucture
that supports tho intestines and may
even be found in the wall of the intes-
tines. The spleen or melt Is shaped like
a horse chestnut und about the same col-
or. It is located close te the liver. This'
too, may be affected in a manner siinilar
to the liver.
FIND OUT FIRST.
In handling a flock of fowls thought
to have tubeeculosia, the first thing to
do is to determine positively whether or
not the disease really exists and to what
extent Is existe. Make a careful examin-
ation above. If you are -still in doubt,

Follies of Science.
The history ot science has seven
problems which men in all ages more
or less have tried to solve, but which
have finally been given up by nli. To-
day they aro called follies.
The usual Bet comprises the follow-
ing: First, squaring the circle; second,
duplication of the cube; third, trisec-
tion of an angle; fourth, perpetual mo-
tion; fifth, transmutation of .metals;
'sixth, fixation of mercury; seventh,
elixir of life. Some lists pia the phi-
losopher's stone for tho last three and
then add astrology and magic to make
the seven.
