We should drink, before breakfast' a glass of real hot water with a ul of limestone phosphate la it to flush from the stomach liver, kidneys and ten yards o bowels the previous day's Indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans-ing sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract before putting ' more food Into the stomach. The action of ljmestone phosphate nnd hot water on an empty stomach Is wonderfully Invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but a little while until the roses begin to appear in the cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at tbe drug store, but Is sufficient to make anyone who Is bothered with bilious-ness, constipation, stomach tronble or rheumatism a real enthusiast on the subject of internal sanitation. .

Everybody likes yellow milk and but-ter, but sometimes the color is absent. This absence Is especially noticeable In butter. Chemists Investigated the cause of .this variation In eglor as long ago as 1830, but It remained for the dairy department of the University of Missouri college of agriculture to de-termine the real source and nature of the naturul color of dairy products. Three years of Investigation rjot only showed the cause of the naturul color but' made clear the nature and source of the yellow color thut Is found in the body fat of cattle. The color In the tallow Is exactly the same as thut found In butter. Cows that give yel-low butter have yellow body fat, while those which give a whiter butter have whiter body fat The coloring matter In both cases Is carotin, since It was first found In carrots. The yellow color in milk and butter Is not made by the an-imal but comes from the feed. This coloring substance Is found In all green leaves, which accounts for the yellow butter In summer. By continued feed-ing pf feeds free from coloring matter it was possible, In the experiments con--1 ducted by the Missouri college of agri-culture, to obtain white butter from a Jersey cow. As a result of the work a list of feeds that will give yellow but-ter and those that will not Is available. NOT THAT KIND A --A f I WlVH YOU'D COMF X ' over im puj op I A LFttK IN "THE PlPFSJ At OPR. HQOSF. J ! r no,thank?Ns ABORTION DOES GREAT HARM Disease Disappears Automatically Pro-vided No New Susceptible Anl- -' mala Are Added. (By IT. C. NEVIUS. Colorado Agricul- tural College, Fort Collins, Colo.) Contagious abortion does much damage in some herds. 'It has been found that Infected cows do not con-tinue to abort. When it first 'breaks out in the herd a considerable number usually throw their calves. During the second year the abortions will be less, and the third year the cases will be few. In this way the disease dis-appears automatically, provided that no new susceptible animals are added to the herd. Disponing of the cows that have aborted und buying new ones usually results In prolonging the dis-ease in the herd. The contagious abor-tion germs are often spread by the hull, so great care need be exercised In purchasing a sire to make sure thut he Is free from the contagion and also not to allow him to serve cows that are affected. , .

JUDGES OF DAIRY COW Training Enables Farmer to Make Few Mistakes In Buying Stock and Building Up .Herd. Successful dairymen are nearly al-ways good judges of dairy stock. Training In Judging cattle enables one, first, to make few mistakes In buying stok ; second, to get better prices for g Guernsey. animals he has to sell; and, third, to breed more skillfully, thus building up a profitable herd in the shortest pos-sible time. Judging receives such prominence at shows and fairs that the casual observer sometimes carries away the Idea that it Is a field for experts rather than for the practical farmer. This Is an Incorrect conclusion. I'ractically everyone who handles dairy cnttle Is benefited by studying the art of Judg-lu- g cattle. 'A QUEER FELLOW "He's an odd sort of a chap. Won't argue about the tariff." - "What's his reason for not arguing?" ' "Says he doesn't know anything fcbout It." Special courses of training for ath-letic Instructors have been established at Camp Kearney, Linda Vista, Cal. One lieutenant and one noncommis-sioned officer from each company have been detailed to take the courses which include boxing, wrestling and calisthenics. The classes are held three times each week, and the officers In turn Instruct their men. Two athletic fields hHve been laid out at Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash., and stands with seating capac-ity of from 16.(HK) to 18.(KK) persons builf at a cost of $8,000 each. The ex-pense was met with funds derived from athletic contests and entertain-ments given by the men. Attendance at boxing at Camp Up-ton. Yuphank, N. Y., to which officers and noncommissioned officers have been assigned, has been made compul-sory. According to a late report, of the 1.800,000 women engaged in agricul-ture in the Cuited States, 7.r0,000 are under twenty years of age and 1.050,-00- 0 are negroes. A majority of the woman workers are found In the Southern states. The lines of work In which women will be likely to Increase their farm-ing activities, according to the report, are vegetable gardening, poultry rais-ing, butter making, hog raising, etc. It is suggested that women who know how to operate motorcars may with little additional training operate trac-tors. ' Now that American troops are tak-ing their places In the trenches, atten-tion Is again directed to an estimate by the secretary of war, that the losses up to June 1. 1917. of the British ex-peditionary forces from deaths In ac-tion nnd from wounds amounted to but 7 per cent of the total of all men sent to France since the beginning of the war. The ratio of losses of this character today, because of Improved tactics, Is less than 7 to every 100 men. It Is the opinion of the United States food administration that the gross maximum profit for wholesalers In fiour should not exceed from 50 to 7."S cents per barrel. The profit to re-ta- ll dealers In original ndll packages should not exceed from 80 cents to $1.20 per barrel, depending upon the character of service performed. Where retailers sell In amounts less than the i original mill packages, the gross profit should not exceed 1 cent a pound. Women with a fluent knowledge of French are being trained In severnl cities for work In France as tele-phone operators with the expeditionary forces. They will not be sent over In one unit, but ordered to go In groups from time to time. No Infor-mation can be given as to the locality In which they will be stationed. Men who are capable of handling horses are still wanted for the vet-erinary corps. They must be physi-cally fit and not of selective-servic- e i ag. MEAN , "Can't you assist me. sir, I belong to the vast array of the unemployed?" "Then you'd better bout It buck to headquarters quick." WATER NECESSARY FOR COWS Often Profitable to Use Tank Heat-ers With Dairy Cattle to Keep Up Good Milk Flow. rnlry cattle should be given water free from ice. This Is necessary If they are to drink freely and often, and the dairy coW must take In plenty of water If she Is to keep up her milk flow. It will often pay to use tank heaters with the dairy cattle where It would not pay to use them In the fat-tening pens, due to the limiting In-fluence which the amount of water taken has upon the amount of fat produced. BETTER TO RAISE PUREBREDS Excellent Prices Obtained by Cornell College of Agriculture for Hoi-stei- n Bulls. I'oes it pay to raise purebred stock? The college of agriculture at Cornell ."cently sold at auction one Holstein bull for $1,r0 and three of his broth-ers for a totnl of S1."'ki. The bull who ."ired these four ouuutcrs cost only 11.200.
