From the time of ST. Paul's young
man of Irons to the recent death of the
gifted son of the Secretary of State,
records Of fatalities from falling out of
upper windows are not uncommon.
They aggregate warning that ought
to be needed against the frequent prac
tice of sitting in an open window when
one is sleepy. Even to the sufferer from
sleeplessness, the cool night air often
brings moments of drowsiness and con
sequent loss of equilibrium.

Importance as clearly and extensively

1t is said that the rainfall brings
down about four pounds of ammonia,
or three and third pounds of nitrogen
per acre. which may he correct as Il
general statement, CT an average
amount, but where there are heaps of
decomposing vegetable or animal mat
ter from which ammonia is escaping in
considerable amount the air contains
more ammonia, and the rain or snow
will absorb more of it. Unfortunately
for careless farmers it does not drop
back to the place from which 1t rises,
but may be carried by the wind for
miles before returning to earth. and the
farmer who makes compost heap and
does not keep it SO covered with earth
or other absorbent as to prevent the
escape of ammonia may be adding to
the fertility of the garden Of somebody
in the next county whom he never saw,
instead of putting 1t upon his own soil,
that needs 1t more. Like old-fashioned
stories this has a moral. When caring

He, at least, can afford to contribute

deciding to use less of 1t because Of the

Rations for Dairy Cow.
Prof. I. L. Hacker, of the Minnesota
experiment station, after nine years
experience, gives the following MS to
the best ration for dairy cows: Ensi-
lage is the foundation feed used and
the grain feed consists of five parts
bran, five parts cornmeal and two parts
| of oil rfO ,1,1,
tains 81 per cent protein, and the rn-
tons are from five pounds to nine
pounds Of this mixture, according to
the amount of milk given. 1t generally
takes three pounds of ensilage and half
pound corn fodder for every pound of
grain feed. If u cows flow of milk
drops off for some cause or other, he
increases 1t by feeding roots besides
the grain for time and then holds it
