Th- will act more or Less To Avoid Bloating Bloating is an ever present danger with dairy cows on pasture, particuâ€" larly where the legume is alfalfa. Means for lessening this danger, ad- vised by animal husbandry experts, include: Never turn a cow out o alfalfa pasture on an empty stomâ€" ach; give a small feed of dry hay Ln¢nm mmimz out: have a supply ach; give a small feed of dry hay before turning out; have a supply of water available in or near the pasture at all times; don’t. turn the cows out onto a freshly irrigated pasture, or a pasture reeking' wet from rain, heavyl drew or coated with frost. Much of the danger may also be avoided by mixing grass with alf- alfa in seeding down the pastures. The cows prefer grass to legumes such as alfalfa or sweet clover and will take the edge off their appe- tites Controlling Slugs Garden slugs are always most a- bundant in wet seasons or in moist situations. They emerge at night, hid- ing during the day beneath the soil, and they feed chiefly on We under- aars‘ purses bi before feeding on these FOR THE BUSY FARMER surfaces of the leaves of beans, let- tuce, cabbage, cauliflower and such like plants. They rnsp off the epidb ermis of the leaves and where the infestation is heavy severe injury is occasioned. Like all other pests, these animals can 09 more easily con- trolled if remedial measures are ap- plied when they are small and few in number. Accordingly, the ama- teur gardener and the commercial growers whose crops are being at- tacked- should* give the matter imme- diate attention. In Eastern Canada, the slugs are controlled by dusting the infested plants with hydrated lime in the ev- ening after the sun has gone down and the feeding cmnmenced. Care should be taken to cover [the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves ann‘ the soil immediately surrounding the :plants. Hydrated lime is effective only when in the form of a light dry ‘powder. If it becomes hard when subjected to moisture, it is non-in- jurious to the slugs. 00nsequent1y a few light applications of the lime at intervals of three or four days is much more effective than one heavy 'dose. Another method recommended is to spray the plants with Bordeaux mixture. Cheerless Life of Richest Woman in The World Who is the richest woman alive? Her identity makes her the logical person for this title. yet few know of her, and only a recent law suit has brought her into prominence. She is Mrs. Wilks, sister of the late Co]. E. H. R. Green. who left her a for- E. H. R. Green, who left her a for- tune of about eighty million dollars in addition to her own. But her claim to fame lies in the proverb, “Like mot-her, like daugh- ter,” for the richest WOman in the world is the daughter of the woman who used to be the richest. Mrs. Wil-ks" mother was the fabulous and eccentric Hetty Green whom she re- sembles in some ways. Just how many millions Mrs. Wilks mow poss- esses she herself probably does not know exactly}. A court controversy that is now being waged is between Mrs. Wilks and Mrs. Mabel Harlow Green. Mrs. Green is the widow of Col. Green old miser Hetty’s‘ son and she says that as such she is the sole beneficiary. But Mrs. Wilks says that her sister- in-law waived her dower rights at the time of her marriage for an an- nual payment of $18,000. This “sign- invg away” of rights before marriage is an old Green family: trick. Hetty Green made her own husband; sign away his inheritance rights before she married him; and she saw to it that her son’s wife did the same. The lawsuit, too, is typical of the Greens, for Hetty was always en- gaged in litigation with people who all wan-ted- to take her money away The lawsuit, too, Greens, for Hetty gaged in litigation all wan-ted- to take from her. Like her mother before her, Mrs. Wilksx is a lonely old ‘woman. She has lived in Greenwich, Conn., for the past twenty-seven years, in an unpretentious home on ‘Electric Hill.’ She is sixty-six years old now, and thirteen years a widow, and her gray hair is dressed in Gibson Girl fashion, just as it was when she was young. Mrs. Wilks‘ owns no yacht. no pow- er boat, no swanky automobile. She has no box at the opera, goes to no fashionable gatherings, and‘ the news- papers have reported no considerable public philanthropies. There’s one exception, however, that is known. This woman who owns vast blocks of real estate in St. Louis, Boston and New York, who owns paper and cotton mills and“ gold mines, stocks and bonds in every; American rail- road, contributes to the Firemen’s Association of Greenwich every year. Her instincts for economy are in- heritedl from her. mother, who used to be known as the “Witch of Wall St.” Like her mother, Mrs. Wilks does her own marketing. She is driven to town in her small car every day or two. In Greenwich stores she wastes no money on frivolities, pays cash, and leaves promptly. She handles her own correspondence and does not employ a secretary. Unlike some of the millionaires who live at Greenwich she takes little civic interest in her town. Once, it is true, she bought up some land, but this was not out of interest in the community; she was just preventing a cemetery being started opposite her home. Mrs. Wilks does, however, play a part in boosting her commun- ity, because there is rivalry| with Brookline, Mass.. for the honor of being the richest per capital town in the country, and her fortune helps here. Then, too, when she dies, she will leave a considerable inheritance tax THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Weaning Lambs and How to Care for Ewes and Lambs After Weaning There is considerable variation in the ages at which lambs are weaned, but at four months of age is the standard time. It is not often ne- cessary to take out the older ones first, though if some of the lambs are much younger than the others, it may- be advisable to leave them with their dams after the older ones are weaned. But if the ewes are in a gaining condition in the fall, that insures a short lambing’ season, and the great majority of the lambs are ready to wean at the same time, with few exâ€" ceptions. If when lambs are weaned it is not convenient for them to have access to good alfalfa, red clover, or rape pasture, it is well to give them a little grain, I prefer oats and bran? with a little oil cake if it can be had. u If they are to have the above menâ€"l tioned green pastures, it is well to‘ have an old grass field to turn them] on mornings and evenings to insure] against bloating. If these details i are followed there need be slight in- l to the town. Like her wealthy mother, Mrs. Wilks favors simplicity. The only time Hetty Green was ever known to have worn a new dress for a spe- cial occasion was when she attended the wedding of her daughter to Matthew Astor Wilks. Her fondness for living in rags while living in riches is not shared by her daughter, who lives comfortably, but not lav- ishly and dresses Well although not in- the very latest style of gowns and hats. She lives alone in her large 30- room house with a few servants and her beloved dog. This is another resemblance to her mother. Hetty', too, was crazy about a dog, a Skye terrier named “Cupid Dewey.” Mrs. Wilks cherishes a collie dog named‘ “‘Prince." She is all the more at- tached to the dog because she is childless, alone and getting old. But the dog is nine years old and hasn’t long to live. It is interesting to re- member that Hetty Green is said to have died of a broken heart when her dog; died. During the last days of her mother, Mrs. Wilks and her brother disguised two nurses as seamstresses in order She dresses in dark clothes and her only jewelry is a wedding ring. In private she sometimes puts on a necklace. but she is never seen wear- ing it on the street or in any public place. The walls and doors of her home are hung heavily with draperies of the period when she made her debut. ‘ to get them into the house to at- tend the dying woman, who had' be- come so penurious that she objected even to medical aid. Nobody: knows what will happen to the money when Mrs. Wilks dies. It was Hetty Green’s often-repeat- ed- advice that built up the family fortune; and, if it has been followed since, the fortune may be unbeliev- ably huge. According to Hetty, ,‘All you have to do is buy) cheap and sell dear. act with thrift, s‘hrewdness and be persistent. When I see a good thing going cheap because nobody wants to buy, I buy a lot and tuck it away. People will always want it and) will be willing to pay for it afterwards.” Just what Mrs. Wilks" policies are is not known because In this. respect very] unlike her brother and mother, she doesn’t talk much and never tells anything to reporters. 01d Hetty liked to have pictures of herself in the papers; but no photograph of Mrs. [Wilks has been handed out since her marriage 711; is said she i-s afraid of being kidnapped because of her great wealth and for this reason is afraid of publicity of any kind. Since the death of her husband who was con- siderably older than she, she has lived in more or less fear. When:- ever Mrs. Wilks goes out she is un- der the constant protection of two employees of 'a detective agency. Mrs. Wilks is related to such im- portant society) families as the Ca- bots, Lodges and Lawrences of Bos- ton, and her husband was descended from the original John Jacob Astor. It has been; pointed out that this shy recluse could, if she cared! to, be- come the most important society dow- ager of the present era. Instead, the richest woman in the world sits down usually in her big house and eats» her simple dinner all alone. By John B. Ainslie Don Head Farms : (Fergus News Record) | “They never come back” is taken Ifor granted in some sportsâ€"but not ; apparently, in others. Passing through Sunnyside recently, we not- liced that there is a new miniature ‘ golf course, and it seemed to be a- bout the busiest spot on the beach. terruption in growth Pastures suitable for ewes being dried up is not as a rule hard to obtain in July or August. If the lambs are weaned early the ewes have quite a long time in which they are not producers, and the pastures can be stocked heavily to keep down the cost of carrying them. In any case it is better for the ewes to be kept on shorter feed to check the milk flow. Hand-milking is some- times necessary in a few ewes to prevent spoiled udders. A man can keep his eyes open and catch and milk out the odd one. As breeding time approaches better feeding is ne- cessary to get the ewes in gaining condition. and OLD BOYS’ REUNION LASKAY Saturday, Augustjllih OPEN TO ALL lst Prize $12.00, 2nd Prize $8.00 Entries to be in the hands of Secretary by August 13th Draw to take place at 12.30 p.m. sharp.
