First, the co^ must be made comfort able, by furnishing her with a ijlean, dry and warm place in which to stay; she appreciates these things just as well other animals do and will pay for it by producing more milk than she would under the opposite *UV DWIil U1 ? 111V11 she is kept should be cleaned and bedded each day, or at the least fresh bedding should be added each day, so as to ^nable the cow to keep clean and also to keep the stable from getting wet. The stall in which the cow is kept should be so constructed that it will be lights The cow does not like a dark stall, and besides, it is a good breeding place for disease germs which may injure both the cow and the people who consume her milk. The stall should be so con structed that it will be tight for the first four feet aboVe the, floor, this preventing sold draft from passing over the cow's bo dy while she is in the stall and especially while she is lying down. Above this there should be plenty of windows to insure an abundant supply-of fresh air and sunlight. x During the summer months, the cow should be provided with plenty of shade. She sho uid be. allowed to do her graz ing during the cool parts of the day and then allowed to go to a cool shady place during the hot hours of the mid-day. The cow always suffers when forc ed to stay in .{he hot surrfor any great length of time. .. ^The cow should be in good flesh at the time of freshening, and sohuld be dry for about 6 weeks. These two things will enable her to start at a high li vel of milk production after freshening, also the dry period gives her body a rest which it needs. As to the cow's feed du ring the dry period before the freshening, if she is in good flesh and has plenty of good pasture, no particular attention need be pajd to her ration but if she must be fed entirely on dry feed, a laxative feed such as w^eat bran or linseed meal should be added to the ration. If the cow freshens during the winter months, she should of course, have a warm box stal add for the first few days after freshening should be fed rath er, lightly, and her feed can then be gradually increased un til she is back to a full feed. The cow's udder may be swollen and hard fpr a short time before and after freshen ing, in which case it should be bathed at least three times each day, using water as hot as the hands be kept in, after which it should be well massaged with vasaline. The cow should not be milk ed quite dry the first one or two milkings after' freshening, es pecially if the udder is inclin ed'to be feverisli and swollen. She should always be milked regularly twice each day as near the same hour* each, time as may he practicabend always milked dry after the first one or two milkings after freshen ing. It is good practice to leave the calf tortth its mother S6 or 48 hours ?nd then it Should he labcn away and placcd.ih a ve ry clean well lighted stall. -- ?^ i- -- . j oouihern California G ug n ^ *-t -rr?-b* ? ? ? 1 " " ; ?miii.u ? * - Damage estimated at several millions of dollars resulted from th# floods In soutlierti California tint* were <-uH*e by tremendously heavy rains that continued for days.

I METHODISTS OF AHOS KIE ARE PLANNING FOR A NEW CHURCH HERE At Conference Sunday Night It Was Unanimously Decided to Eerect A New Building At An Early Date Uev. M. F. Hodges, the new pastor of the Ahoskie Metho dist church, has interested his congregation in the erection of n new building; and, at a con ference held immediately after last Sunday night services, vote was taken, and as a result it was the unanimous consensus of opinion that a new building be erected, to take the place of the present inadequate build ing. At,the regular Quarterly Conference to be held here on next Saturday, January 28, the local congregation will seek the approval of that body to carry out the proposed project here. Having secured the necessary approval by the Conference, plans will be immediately dra wn up; and within a few weeks work may begin on the new ed 3SU invc. It will be remembered that plans were submitted by the for mer pastor, Rev. J. J. Barker, about two years ago, whereby a new building was to be con structed; however; nothing re sulted from the movement. The former plan was to dispose of the' church property on Main Street, using the proceeds from the sale to aid in financing the new building which was to be located on ChurcJ),8treet. Wh ether the new plans will be al ong similar fines is not known. The Methodists of Ahoskie now own some very choice property, both dp Main and on Church Streets. The church is located on the former street, while the parsonage is on the latter, Church Street. About a fyalf block, adjoining one of the town's busiest commcvcja Mrtnfcs, Is now proper^* of tn? church.
