If one feeds whole ' milk there is no danger. Nature has made whole milk so that the calf can take all of it that you can coax it to take without injurious effects. But when you unbalance the ration by taking the fat out of the milk, and than try to make up by feeding a larger quantity of skim milk, serious results may follow. When calves begin to scour after they have beeu started on skim-milk it is almost absolutely sure that you are over-feeding. Cut down the milk. It is barely possible, of course, that you are feeding the milk cold. This ought not to be. The young calf ought to have the skim milk direct from the separator, or if the milk goes to the creamery and comes back cold, theu it should be warmed up. There is no better way to do this than to have a little agricultural steam ooiler and turn the hose into the can of milk until it is warmed to the proper temperature. Don't give it real hot at one feed, and then cold at another. It should be given at the same temperature. If you separate the milk on the farm right after milking and feed it directly to the calves, they will be used to it at this temperature. The calf should be started on j roughage just as soon as possible. Give him just a little wisp of clover hay when he is two weeks old. He taiay eat only a spear of it at first, but will gradually eat more until he relishes clover hay, and ; will eat large quantities of it. Next give him just a little handful of good corn silage. At first he may not like it at all, but if he leaves any in the manger, take it out and put in some fresh. Soon you will find that the calf likes silage, Start him on grain by giving him a little ground oats as ?oon as he is through drinking his skim milk, Do not give him over a tablespoonful at first, gradually increase it as he grows older. Give whole milk, its dam's whole milk for the first two weeks anyway. Then gradually take out a little of the whole milk, and put in skim-milk and increase the skim milk until you take the whole milk entirely away from it. When you have done this, substitute a spoonful or a gill of ground flax-seed jelly. If pains are taken not to overfeed, you will be certain to have thrifty calves.— " Michigan Farmer."

A man who was fortunate enough to win a turkey in a raffle recently, was bringing the bird home uncovered when he chanced to meet his daughter. Wishing to swagger a little he said :Z " -My word, lass, we'll mako an attack on turkey to-morrow. This is a real Constantinopler, this is." • '' Aw dare say it is," replied tlio daughter, smiling. " But you might have asked for a Bagdad !" CHILBLAINS. V'ou suffer? Why, Cold weather; bad circulation. Have them every winter 1 Can't euro them, only endure them. This reasoning is foolish. Ke.xona will drivo away your chilblains. Jlany who have suA'ered for years, and endured agony every winter" with resignation, avoiding the'good cheer of the fireside, nursing their cracked and bleeding hands in the coldest quarter of the room, now thank Rexona for winter comfort. Rexona represents skin health, whether of feet, hands, scalp, or body. A few minutes spent at night anointing the feet with this cool salve means foot comfort all next, day. Rubbed gently into the skin of poor, suffering hands, a pair of soft, loose gloves to protect them, the unsightly chilblains must vanish. The hands neither hurt nor cause you to blush by their appearance. Winter work and winter sports can then bo indulged in without fear of resulting agony, for this should bo the healthiest time of the year, when we are storing up stmgth and energy for the coining summer. Rexona is sold in triangular tins at Is Gd and 3s. Obtainable from H. L. Brett, Lawrence. The arrivals in New Zealand from oversea during Juno totalled 1530, as compared with 1921 in the corresponding month, of 1915. Tho departures were 1825 as against 1440 a year ago. These figures do not include members of tho Expeditionary forces. A WEAK STOMACH. A feeling of discomfort after oating, bolching and sour stomach, indicatos a weak stomach. " Digestive " medicines aggravato tho trouble, for the digestive functions should bo performed naturally. Chamberlain's tablets are especially suited for complaints of tltis character. They promoto the flow of gastric juices, thus assisting digostion, and induce the bowels to act.naturally. The use of most laxatives is followed by constipation, but a course of Chamberlain'a Tablets will strengthen the bowels to act regularly without asaisi-ance.-r-Md by H, L. Brett, Lawrence ; T.
