Feeding the Dairy Cow.

CONDENSED from Farmers Review Stem
ographic Report Of Wisconsin Dairymen's
Convention9
Prof. 7. Z. Hacker spoke on feed
ing the dairy cow. He mentioned the
fact that he fed turnips. which were
valuable to keep the cows in good con-
dition and not because of the nutrient
value in them.
Q.-Do you prefer roots to silage?
4 Prof. Haecker.--No, but our silo
does not hold enough to feed the cat
tie all winter; so about the middle o
November we stop feeding silage till
April when we re-commence and feed
silage till the cows go onto grass.
Q.-What kind of corn do you use
for silage?
Prof. Haecker.-We use dent corn.
Q.-How thick do You plant it?
Prof. Haecker.-We prepare the soil
at the ordinary time in May, and con-
tinue to harrow the ground till the
middle of June, when we plant the
seed. We use from 81 to So pounds
of seed per acre. After it is planted

Wild onions abound in many parts OF
the West, and the cows as well as
children eat them. They are bound
to injure the milk if eaten by the cows
for the reason that onions contain an
oil that gets through the system OF
the COW and into the milk. There is
a dispute as to whether ordinary food
in a bad state can faint the milk. by
passing through the cows, but all are
agreed that onions and garlic do. But

This convention is called for the pur-

To formulate plans looking toward the
material upbuilding of this immediate
section. During the past few years the

of supremacy in the worlds market

What Nav Be Expected.

During the progress of the presiden-
tial campaign the critics of the repub-
Iican administration had n good deal
to say on the subject of a greater
standing army. involving, as il would,
not only heavy tax burdens. but pos
sible greater dangers To the country.
The republicans evaded the subject as
much as possible. When il was charged
that the administration was pledged to
an increase to at least 00.O0O mem
bers. the eminent lawyer at the head
OF the war department met the charge
by legal quibble. contending that un-
less there were further legislation the
army would be reduced next July TO
q. 600 or something in that neighbor-
hood.
The same line of defense by evasion
was put up by the lesser republicans.
The returns from the election demon
stratei very clearly that the voters
most interested had allowed them
selves to be fooled and had given the
republicans carte blanche to go ahead
with their army programme. whatever
il might be.
The New York Tribune. which is the
ablest and fairest OF the administra-
tiOn organs in the east, is now out
lining the plans of the war department
and it is evident from what it says
that there is little likelihood OF the
republicans stopping at paltry lOo-

The Tribune further suggests the pos
sibiltv that some enthusiast will press
for Il regular army of 10000 or 2O0.-
600 men. though the chances are that
the weight of opinion will prevail ana
compel a compromise on about 100, 1000:

In his investigation into American
life and American customs, Mr.. Wu
Ting Fang. the Chinese minister, has
had his eyes opened in wonderment
many times lie is now wondering at
the versatility of the American actress

Mr.. Wu ran across one of the charm
ing ladies Of the stage at Cincinnatfs
swellest hotel. She was very charm
ing and was apparently delighted AZ the
opportunity of meeting the official rep
resentative Of the Emperor Kwang
IIsu. She said so.
That was one evening. The next
morning the newspapers contained a
glarinely patriotic interview with this
same actress. who declared that she
had left the hotel because she could
not permit herself TO be under the same
roof with a Chinaman. She refused.
in accents that could be heard blocks
away. to see the flag Of her country hu-
inflated by being entwined with the

Cushman X. Davis.

The death OF Senator Cushman X.
Davis, Of Minnesota. removes one or
tho most remarkable men In American
public life.
Poorly born and struggling with ad-
versity In early manhood, he made for
himself a place in the community IN
which ho lived. Entering politics, he
finally reached the United States SEN
ate. and held the responsible position
OF chairman of the senate committee
on foreign relations when war with
Spain was resolved upon. Subsequent
~ he was appointed on the commission
TO negotiate a treaty or peace with
Spain.
In ordinary times these offices might
have been filed without incident. but
occasion brought out the man. when
the chairman Of the foreign relations
committee proved himself equal to the
task which came to him. 1t was a PROOF
OF the excellent system Of government
which we enjoy under which the aver
age citizen is so trained In public duty
that he is always ready to perform it.
Senator Davis fully measured up TO
the highest type of American citizen

and the memory OF his services will be
