A .shdrt'while ago I went into the stable ofa fernier friend m who irved about a mile or se from me. He was just feeding his owe. I noticed that be measured out the grain ration for the different ones and also each One the hay that was needed. There was one cow that only received hay for her fed. I asked him why he did net give her any grain..` "Ohl That one, why she is dry. `I expect that she'll `come int in about n month or so. After one of my cows stop giving any milk, I .do not give them any more grain," he told me. "But, in her ease," I asked him, "don't you think that sheds so near freshening time that it might pay?" "1 do not see where there'd be any profile! he answered. "How con any crow that is dry he worth giving any- thing -'but hay to?" And he laughed` as is he thought that it was quite a joke I to feed anything but hay to his cows that were dry. As I looked at the cow that was get- ting only hay, the one that he had told mo he expected would have a calf in a few weeks, I was surprised. She was very thin. To look at her I would not have known that she was td freshen soon. I felt that the joke was really on him. T know that there are quite_ a •few farmers that feel as ho does. They do not think that a cow that is not giving any milk needs rnuch to eat. But a cow that is to have her calf ought to be fed quite liberal. While she is not giving milk perhaps, she is using feed to grow the new calf to be born soon. She needs food to bring her into moderately high condition, without too much fatness. Excessive fat is apt to make difficulty,at time of calving. Buteif the cow has a liberal quantity of it with good flesh she is ready to start immediately to make a large quantity of milk. Fat that has been stored up, is ready, as a reserve to be drawn upon to help at the time that she is to make the largest quan- tity of milk. While there are farmers that do not dry off their cows .:for any length of time before they freshen, most farm- ers agree that cows should have"from six weeks to two months rest from milking, before they have their. calf, Cows should have exercise in moder- ation during pregnancy, as with these that are kept in too close confinement, there is sometimes difficulty during calving time. Of course, too much and violent exercise or conditions which might lead to slipping.oz jump- ing is bad, as such may cause abor- tion. Cow yards where they get their exercise should be free from ice and be even and smooth. Cows that are kept in the stable a large part of the time should have the platform or floor under them level; floors that slope towards the rear cause an un- natural pressure to be brought -to bear This year it would seen patriotic to I grow the broilers to a large size be- fore marketing them, but reach a, weight .of about two :)founds, 1'he, small broilers should bring a fair.+ price and when turned into cash they ; will furnish available funds for prop- erly feeding the pullets. At the present price of grain it! does not•seem that capons and roast- ing chickens can be very profitable this year. The present indications; seem to predict that it'will be safer to market young broilers and raise high-class and well-fed pullets to pro- duce eggs next fall and winter.

The .newels should be kept free by theuse of laxative feeds. Roots are valuable, A. good feed for a cow some' time before and after she hat her calf, ie whole oats that' have beenswelled by having boiling water poured over them. Three poen'as of these, three pounds of bran, and one-half pound of linseed oil meal mixed with warm water and a Tittle salt, makes a good feed and has the tendency to prevent the retaining of the afterbirth. Of course, hay is to be given. After calving give this feed for a week or so,increasing one- half a pound a day as the cow in- creases in her milk flow, and gradual- ly change to the regular ration, For at least ten days before the cow calves she should have water with the chill taken off; also for two weeks after. While, as a rule, cows have their calves born without much trouble, they should be watched carefully as the time draws near, and if there are any signs of difficulty, help should be gotten quickly, if it is to be of use. After the calf is born the danger from milk -fever should be guarded. While perhaps it may not be neces- sary for every farm to have a milk - fever outfit; there"ought to be one at least in every neighborhood and every farmer that has many cows should understand how to use it.

HEADACHE The frequency and variety of head- aches have stimulated the medicine manufacturers to devise means for their relief, and the market has been flooded 'with their products. headache is a very comprehensive term. It may be a simple neuralgia due to disturbance of the nerves on one side of the head, the forehead, or the top or back of the head. • The blood 'current of the head may be unaffected in such cases, or there may be less blood than usual with re- addition to the head pain, and perhaps nausea and vomiting, these symptoms being due to some trouble in the diges- oped in cows by breeding early, While tive apparatus. a heifer is not fully grown at two Yet other headaches are due to years of age, it seems to be the rule some trouble in the eyes, the ears, the among most breeders that that is 1 kidneys, to growths within the skull, about the right age for a heifer to or a thousand other causes. have her first calf, providing she is in Is it reasonable to imagine that all no way stunted in her growth.

If any of the headache powders does not have such a depressing ac- tion, I do not know which it is; and if all of them have this quality, none should be given unless we know at the time what the condition of the pati- ent's heart really is. Even with people whose hearts are apparently sound, some are extremely sensitive to the action of such drugs as headache powders are composed of,, even in small doses. This is especially true with chil- dren, hence we cannot be too parti- cular in recommending them to others, or in taking them ourselves, for. there is an element of possible danger in. them, which must not be overlooked. A popular eombination is a coal -tar .product of some kind, in connection with a stimulant like camphor or caf- fein; and when such a combination is used the possibility of 'harm will be diminished. One of the worst features of head- ache powders, is the danger of form- ing the drug habit, of using them when there is no real excuse for tak- ing medicine. Wet must also remember that the quantity of medicine which will re- lieve a headache to -day, may make little impression on the changed bod- ily condition of to -morrow, and by increasing the quantity we may have crossed the border line of safety. I do not imagine that these words of caution will have much effect in preventing the •.se of headache pow- ders; but It is proper to present the facts and suggest that the physician is the one to decide whether such a medicine ought to be used. Moreover, physicians also should reel) c their responsibility in pre- scribing them, and give them with the same precautions 0111011 they are supposed to use in giving other drugs which are commonly admitted to be dangerous. tr v ta. rivate torso ers to Do you know that four new book- lets which every Canadian woman should possess for herself have now ,made their bow to the public? Hun- dreds .of so-called war -time cook books have come out during the last two or three years until women are a little bored with what other people are trying to tell them. But these are different. They deal with bread -making, the cooking of fish, the cooking of fruit and vege- tables, and preserving and canning. They have attractive covers which are but tine outward index to the au- thoritive and practical contents. In short, they are distinctive from any of the war -tine cook gooks which have been issued in Canada up to date, anti each is prepared by an expert. •A nominal five cont fee is being charged for each, on the principle that people value more highly what they have to pay for.

If you are ,persistent in this, after a while she forgets the habit. But in the pasture lot a different plan must be used. The cow can be tied then by having a sureinglc around ho' body and a rope extending from the surcingle to either side of the head so that she cannot get her bead to her udder. This, however, pre- vents her from fighting flies and is really quite a punishment. I think the best wny probably is to get at almost any hardware store what is known as a calf-weanor•, This is an arrangement that is fastened in the nose like. a bull ring and extend- ing all around on this ring nre long; sharp spikes so that when she goes to suck -herself these spikes are prodded into the udder and flank and she soon fair) wall out of a manger wftb an arrangement of this kind in the} nose.

After Chrtatine left, Helena sat for a few moments with her hands be- hind her head. It was so glorious to be free!

A swift color flushed Ilelenees face, She started to speak—then, without a word, she turned beck to her own office. A Plea To The Housewife. Take the keenest interest in the voluntary rationing scheme. The pro- vincial committees of the Canada Food Board are busy drawing up rules and regulations for the different provinces. You are going to be their chief helpers in carrying out those regula- tions, Make it a matter of provincial pride and competition. Aim to make your province outdo the other eight, and see which of you can do the most in this way for the cause of the Allies and our own Canadian men. Refuse to deal with nny grocers, Csh-mongers, butchers, bakers or ether tradesmen who have not yet secured a license from the Canada]rood Board. "Row am I to knoq'?" you ask. The easiest thing in the world. Every dealer has to display his license number on all stationery, in- voices, etc,, so that you --cart readily as- certain whether he is licensed or not. It is now against the law for the various trades to operate without a license from the Canada Food Board. The same applies to public eating houses, slid women can help by refus- ing to patronize them unless they are duly licensed. Encourage the fish 'business for all you are worth. You are doing pretty well abnut it but not web enough. Fish is Canada's own food awl it is the most satisfying of substitutes for those things which the must send over- seas, It is cheap and plentiful, thanks to the efforts of the Canada Food Boerd, • Make it the "piece de resistance" at most. of your summer meals. It is, better for people than meat in hot, weather. It is easier to cook, En- . courage your dealer to handle plenty, of fish by asking for it every day' yoa'self.

This rule is a good one: Keep the middle full and drive around on every 'side .to unload. Women ought. to be good farmers, seeing that they are deeply 'interested in husbandry. Now that so many farmers are hauling produce on auto trucks, the neeessity of having better roads is be- ing realised as never before. We must have them. Use Your Fresh Vegetables. Now is the time to use the fresh vegetables which the war gardeners have been so assiduously striving to cultivate. We must never forget that t1 a use of these short-lived greens results in the liberation of the more concentrated and staple foods for overseas. Usually there is great waste where garden truck is concerned. It seems so abundant that we do not value it sufficiently. Asa matter of fact, by the judicious use of vegetables many meatless meals can be prepared, and the housewife should regard them dur- ing the hot weather, when appetites are jaded. The French people are now reduced to three meatless days a week of nec- essity. We in Canada might get down to that by choice, at least for 58 long as our war gardens flourish, It will mean all the more meat for the people of France, who need it so bad- ly. The use of canned goods at the .411 present time is anything but patriotic. Most families have a garden of their owe, For those who have not, the stereo are selling plenty of fresh vegetables and they are about tis these as anything we can buy. Ordered His Own Death.
