Fat into MIX.
Quite a large number of successful
feeders believe that they can increase
the percentage of fat in milk by feed
ing certain kinds of feeds, especially
by increasing the percentage Of fat in
the food. The Cornell station in In
experiment in which varying quaint
ties of tallow were fed found no in
crease In the per cent. of butter fat.
A similar experiment In Germany
showed that feeding tallow to mich
cows did not increase the percentage
Of butter fat. The fat content was in
creased slightly during the first week
or two, but disappeared later. but In
another experiment where rich cocoa
nut cake vas fed there was an in
crease In the yield Of fat, but 1t was
accompanied by a decrease in the yield
Of milk which more than counterbal-
anced the increase In the yield of fat.
These statements are not given to
encourage farmers to try to feed fats,

found out along this line by those who

The city of GAINESVILLE. Wis, has just

telephone service. A few months ago
a local company was prevailed upon
to establish a two free stations in the
business portion of the town, and the
City Council passed an ordinance pro-
tecting them from vandalism. as they
do fire alarm boxes. At first the
booths were used constantly ald be-
came very popular, but the other day
