By ELMO SCOTT WATSCN ItMISTICE day is a day for recalling the thrill Joy which swept the world on November 11, 1918, when the four-yea- r crescendo of the guns was stilled and the costliest war In all history eume to an end. For us It Is also a day for remembering the Americans who crossed the Atlantic to play their part in that titanic struggle and who never came back the 30, (KW men who sleep beneath the white crosses In the St. Mihldl, Somme and Meuse-Argonn- OIse-AIsn- Suresnes France, In Flanders field In Belgium and near Ilrookwood, England. But, most of all, It should be a time for remembering those who did come back, not the men who were returned unharmed to their rejoicing families, but the human wreckage of wnr" men with blinded eyes, with deafened ears, with gas seared lungs with severed legs and arms, with shattered nerves, men whose precious years of youth and opportunity had been sacrificed for their country Ilow many of them are there? The best answer to that Is a statement made by Gen. Frank T. Hines, director of the United States Veterans bureau that more than six hundred millions of dollars has been spent hy the government in the rehabilitation of nearly 130,000 legless, arndess, sightless and otherwise crippled or handicapped men to the point where they are capable of self support ; that more than 20,000 men and women who served with the military forces of the United States are now receiving treatment In government operated or supervised hospitals; that there are still In hospitals today more than 1S.000 ex service men who are undergoing treatment for disabilities due to their war service; and that there are uuder guardianship 25,727 veterans who are Incompetent to tuke core of their own affuirs. The problem of paying the human cost of the World war was a huge one in the beginning, says General It is still a major natlonul Ilines. problem. Across 3,000 miles of ocean, In 1917 1918, we transported an army of 2,000,000 Americans, practically with out loss of life from enemy guns, torpedoes or mines. Across the same expanse of water, a little later, 117,000 wounded and sick were brought hack to the United States some to live, some to die, many not to know for years the price they must pay for their participation In the war. Beyond the sea, on foreign soil, 80,000 soldiers of the American Expeditionary Force were killed In action. or died of wounds. Injuries or disease. In the single great offensive operation of the American First army, in the period between September 20 and November 11, 1913 the attack which brougtit about the enemy's ap peal for the armistice our losses were 117,000 In killed and wounded.. These Items, large as they are, do Alsue-Marne- , cemeteries If one Is to have their dairy cows freshen during the fall, which piuctl-ca- l results show Is the most profitable, then one must see that ttie little calves get a good start during the fall and winter rirtmths. While this may prove more difficult for some on account of the need for better stables, fall calves that are properly grown during the first winter are ready to go on grass the following spring and grow better than spring calves. Proper feeding, plus proper stabling, are the greatest essentials In starting fall calves. When a calf Is first dropped It Is essential that It receive the colostrum milk from Its mother. This uillk Is laxative In character and helps to clean out the calf's system Where It Is not Available, the calf should be given an ounce of castor oil. The calf can be allowed to run with the cow for four or five days, hut the majority of dairymen prefer to break it to drink before It has nursed for any length of time. Too much milk Is often given to One pound of milk young calves. dally for every eight to ten pounds of live weight Is sufficient.

A little cracked corn and ground oats may also be added to the palls after the calves finish drinking their milk. As the calves develop they will gradually learn to eat grain and hay. The milk should be continued but It should not exceed 14 to 10 pounds daily or It will make the cnlves pot bellied. It Is better to furnish the additional nutrients needed for growth by feeding grain and good legume hay, rather than to give the cnlves too In phys-Icnll- Primitive Pearl Fishing 5 Arabian pearl dlvera In the Reran gulf lake world records for a - Inlmura of diving equipment.

There were, In addition, scores of thousands of young men who either died In the training and concentration camps here In America, or In those camps contracted diseases with lasting effects. The total toll of war was such that death or disability claims have been filed for one fifth of all the men who served In the armed forces of the United States during the World war. More than half a million claims have been allowed. And nearly ten years after the war on July 1, 1928250,-00veterans, were receiving disability compensation. That army of disabled Included men afflicted with anemia receiving from $10 to $100 a month, dejiending upon the seriousness of their condition. It Included thousands of men with Impaired hearts or arteries. We had and have scores of thousands of otner cases involving every disease or abnormal physical or mental condition from bronchiectasis to dementia precox.

Unless the calves are kept In a clean, sanitary place they will not grow to the best advantage. Scours are usually the result of unsanitary feed palls or Improperly managed stables.

Utilizing Surplus Skim Milk as Poultry Feed According to a recent survey made States Department of Agriculture there were In 1928 approximately 78,fXX.000 pounds of surplus skim milk used In the making of concentrated sour skim milk at 27 different milk plants or creameries located In various sections of the country. The method of making this product was perfected by Dr. L. A. Rogers, chief of the division of dairy research laboratories In the bureau of dairy Industry. This product Is sold mainly as a poultry feed and affords creameries or milk plants equipped with condensing machinery a profitable means of atilizlng surplus sklrq by the United years. Ttiat age is beyond the period of greatest susceptibility to We shall have In Vetuberculosis. terans bureau hospitals, therefore, fewer and fewer cases of tuberculosis. In 1922 we had 12,000; now we have 6,500. So, too, the surgical and general medical cases. Including, of course, shot and shell Injuries sustained in the war, have been decreasing. We had 10, (XX) in 1922. Now there are only 6,700. But In another direction the government's obligation Is increasing. There has been a steady, upward trend in the number of veteran pa- milk. Generous Feed Supply Seen for Coming Year The supply of feed this coming year will be generous. Preliminary Indications are that there will be 400 pounds more grain feed per animal nnlt than was available during the average year of the last five years. The supply of hay per animal unit will be the largest of any year as far back as 1920, with the exception of Inst year and 1924. Unfortunately for dairymen there Is a shortage of legume hay. This shortage of protein hnys Is likely to put special stress on the supply of protein supplements and lead to higher prices for them In spite of the abundance of feed grains. shell-shocke- fifty-thre- Movement Imperative find the great thing In this world Is not so much where we stand, as In what direction we are moylng.

Tendency for Farmer to Feed Improper Rations i I With plenty of corn and corn products, along with oats and possibly barley, all of which are low In protein, there Is a tendency for the average farmer to feed rations that are low In protein. Under these conditions there Is also a tendency to overfeed many of the cows on these feeds that are low In protein, the result being that the amount of grain fed Is too large and the production too low. Farmers who have fnllen Into this trouble find that they can save a lot of grain and get more milk by feeding a well balanced ration according to production. Keep Calves Healthy The dairyman must arrange for his young calves to occupy the warmest part of the barn. They should not be near a door that Is frequently used. Exposure may merely lead to a cold, which Is frequent and not often fatal among calves. However, a cold will throw the calf off feed, possibly stunt Its growth and render It especially susceptible to other diseases Ineumonla frequently follows severe colds, and pneumonia Is nn extremely serious problem In calf herds. harmless as the recipe on the wrapper reads.

Another estimate of the Increasing important e and scope of rehabilitation Is given by the Disabled American Veterans of the World Wnr, a national organization of disabled men established In 1921. Tills group has been named by congress as an otliclal representative of the disabled who present claims to the government. According to William EL Tate, national commander, during the next decade, more than 275,000 men will need help as a result of disabilities Incurred during the war. So when Armistice day conics 'round each year.
