THE QUESTION BOX.
Practical Farmers Tell What to Feed
Cows For Profit.

Question no. l, Jan. 3lst.
What Ration do you find to be
the best producer Of milk in your dali
ry, and how do you feed it?
The following are the ration for
COWS that yielded 1926 lbs. of butter
per year from the different state sta
tiOns:

Note.--These rations were as fed to
the cows for each 1000 pounds weight,
lighter cows receiving proportionally
less.
If any one wishes we can give the

Summary. While we have not re-
ceived the response we could have
wished, we are glad we are able to Of
fer you the experience of practical men
who have tried and therefore know the
results attained.
While we give you the rations that
produced 325 pounds of butter in one
year at different points, we DO not
claim that any COW will do as well on
the same ration, but while the cow as an
individual has a great deal to do about
it, production can be measured in even
the poorest COW by systematic feeding
and giving attention to the wants OF
the COW.
Every farmer must know his COW
and be able to cater to her, not as a
part of his herd, but as an individual
We are glad today that our brothers
are eager for light on this line, and We
believe that those who know how tt
feed will help us to impart help tt
others, and SO speed the time wher
prosperity shall come to many far

is worth.
Brothers send in short articles OF
the different questions from week tt
week, and as we are. shall be crazy !
we have to create questions. Pleas
send us in suggestions.

WHEN ELLA GETS HER BRAND new
Teeth.
Original, by A. o. W., Barre.)

When Ella gets her brand new teeth
How lovely she will look;
She'll seem Just like a Fairy Tale
That read about in book.
She always did look nice and tasty
Very neat and clean-
And she always looked so much that way
That she makes me feel real mean.
She has such winsome, winning ways:
Such sparkling. dancing eyes
Words can't express her grcefulness
As around the floor she glides.
She has the sweetest head of hair
That woman e'er wore.
She is the sweetest little thing
That any one ever saw.
When Ella gets her brand new teeth
And reads this little rhyme,
hope she'll think of the only man
Who would like to see her all the time.
But It's growing late, I've said enough,
Nv time is worth good money;
But one word more, and then I'll close,
She il Il ton of sweet, strained honey.
When Ella gets her brand new teeth
She'll chew no more o that gum
But mola-.eS kisses, and OTHER kisses
Will keep her OH the run.
Now Charles be good to your sweet
little wife,
And stay at home pray,
For when Ella gets her brand new teeth
You'll have the bin to pay.

In Exile.


The noise Of hurrying crowds all day
Has driven up against my door;
Yet have wandered far away
Along a sunny silent shore.
o seward sloping meadows wide.
o happy waters, far and blue!
Where white sands wait the swinging tide,
My homesick heart has gone to you.
All day my window blinds have stirred
To Earring hoofs and wheels below;
Yet am l listening for bird
That sings beneath tree know
A slender tree against the sky,
An orchard paling brown with years,
A blackbird's whistle. clear and shy
Why do my eyes grow dim with tears?
The crowds go back and forth all day,
The sun burns fierce along the street;
But I have found shady way
With cool white clover at my feet.
Far Off beneath the branches low
The footpath wanders, still and fair;
My feet are fast with toil-but Oh
To-day my heart is walking there!

CONES OUT FOR NC KINLEY.

The ranks of those who are coming
out for Mckinley either because of the
silver question or the anti-expansion
sentiments of Bryan and his followers
continues to grow. One of the latest
and most important changes in this
vicinity is that A. H. Bulls, of Win
nebago City, who ran against John
Lind for congress in 1886, and who
has been a life long Democrat, except
during the war when he voted for
Lincoln. He says that he still believes
in Democratic principles as he under
stands them, but we see no logical con-
nection between Democracy and
Organism. To Pioneer Press re-
preventative he said:
1t is this way In the first place
the people down our way. particularly
the farmers, are prosperous
and generally contented The
administration of President McKin-
ley, it seems to me, has been honor
able-an business like, which fact has,
without doubt, contributed largely
to this prosperous and healthy condi-
ton. I believe in letting well enough
alone. In the second place, while I am
a farmer, and rather fashioned
and conservative, yet am not afraid
of expansion. 1t seems reasonable that
more territory, particularly countries
which do not raise what we produce
most abundantly, would make us a
better and surer market 1 cannot see
why it is not just as wise for nation
to expand as for an individual. Ex-
pansion is one form of progression and
sometimes [ wish we owned every is
land in the Pacific ocean big enough
to set hen on. And can't see any
thing about such a sentiment that is
inconsistent with true Democracy of
the past or present / could not stand
for Bryan's expressed ideas or theories
because they are not only narrow, i'm
practicable and retrogressive, but
many of them are false. No sir, shall
vote for Mckinley. .
Mr.. Bulls is a farmer and stock
raiser and man of influence in his
community. In addition to his above
statement he says he has no time for
man who will denounce measure
which he did as much as any other
man to bring about. Bryan used all
his influence to secure the adoption of
the Paris treaty, knowing as well as
any one else what the consequences
might be. and now is finding fault
with the administration for dealing
in the only honorable way with those
consequences.

The Simplex Type Setting Ma,
chine a Model of Perfec-
ton and Utility.
Almost Indispensable to An Up
to-Date Print Shop.

In this day of inventive genius and
labor saving devices it is little wonder
that the cost of production has been
brought to the minimum. The middle
aged man of today can look back to
the time when the old self-rake har-
vesting machine took the place of the
hand cradle and it was looked upon as
a wonderful invention. And it was
But compared with the great har-
vesters of today, that roll the golden
grain standing in the fields into
bundles of equal size, binds them and
dumps them into the hands of the
shockers, it was tame affair. The
old wooden mould board plow with a
single handle, has given way to the
sulkey pillow upon which the farmer
turns the soil that feeds the world
with little exertion and with ten times
the capacity. The old hand rake has
given way to the riding sulkey rake
whereby a twelve-year- old boy can
with ease do the work dozen men
did under the old process. And so it
is all along the line. Inventive genius
has displaced drudgery with labor
saving devices in nearly every path
way of human endeavor.
= And no less SO in the making of a
newspaper. The great papers of today
were physical impossibilitya score
Of. years ago. Typesetting machines
have made it possible for every man
and woman who can read to have a
daily newspaper and thus be in pos
session of the worlds doings at supper
or at breakfast In this enlightened
age, and with the facilities at hand
there can be no good excuse for ignor-
ance. The time was when only the
well-to-do could afford a daily news
paper at twelve dollars, year. Now
the same paper-only greater and bet
ter in every detail-can be had for
from three to five dollars The home
weekly paper that formerly cost two
and three dollars can now be had for
one and one fifty, with twice and
thrice the amount of good, wholesome
reading matter that it formerly con-
tanned. These great reductions have
been wrought through modernized
