In marketing my cream TO fancy
trade, writes l.. V. Axtell, Of Ohio, in
the American Agriculturst, make
capital of the fact that l use only
well-matured and well-cured foods for
dairy COWS. Our feed consists of
clover hay and corn stover fed whole
at the rate Of one part of clover to two
Of stalks. Our grain feed consists
principally of corn and oats produced
on the farm.
l try to balance the grain ration
with protein in its cheapest market
form, as the prices may vary on oil
meal. gluten or cotton seed. l think
that most modern idea dairymen feed
too much protein rather than not
enough in proportion to the fatty
foods If less intensive methods were
used in the feeding and stabling of
cattle, we should have much less tu
berculosis, calf scours, abortion and
disease generally on our hands. Plen-
ty of the more natural foods, plenty
of exercise and fresh air are good
agents with which to combat disease.
l think the feeding Of badly cured
ensilagc productive of much abortion
and calf cholera. Other spoiled foods
could produce just as unfavorable re-
suits. The putting up Of ensilage is
managed much better than formerly.
Before putting up n silo | have been
waiting for a short hay crop. For
twenty years l have kept on 200 acres
from seventy.fve to 100 head of cat
tie and an average of ten head of
horses. l have never bought ten tons
of hay, We have never sold much,
either and never sell except at high
prices. We never buy but little grain,
and the wheat sold much more than
pays for feed bought If ensilage ena-
bles farmers to carry so much more
stock l should have to build more
barns in addition to the silo, and l
have care enough, so l think l will
continue old-fashioned.

The Chicago woman,s Walk.

Did you ever notice her? She is n
marvel. No trolley car will ever run
over her. She moves, and she moves
with lightning rapldity. She darts in
between the pedestrians. dives through
a group that is packed as closely as
sardines in box, swings and swishes
as she scoots around the corner and
disappears like a blue streak. She is a
wonder. Now, the interesting thing
about 1t all is the fact that Chicago
methods are responsible for the way
Chicago women walk. Take the street
cars. The average woman who strikes
an average gait could not catch q Chi
cago street car in months time with
out obstructing the track. The car
stops. The bell rings and the car is
Of. But it never gets away from the
Chicago woman. She knows a few
things. She touches the pavement
once between the curbstone and the
car. She pounces upon the car, crawls
in between the seats, crawls over the
