FEEDING COWS FOR MILK.
Chapman Farmer Receives Good In
come From Dairy Cows.
TFrorn the Salina Republican

From the Salina Republican,
William Sherraden, prosperous
farmer near Chapman, has demon
strated the practicability of feeding
COWS for milk. Last December he
MIXED nine cows and hauled milk to
the creamery, for which he received
$3S. 81. Besides he made 40 pounds of
butter for his own use and used 80
gallons of milk in his home. No grain
was fed to the cows, but they were run
on rye and wheat pasture and had
some alfalfa hay. The 40 pounds of
butter and 30 gallons of milk would be
worth probably $13. This would make
the total value of the months milk
about s52. Considering the small ex-
pense incurred in feeding these nine
COWS, whose products are valued at
$50, the proposition of feeding for milk
seems to be a very practicable one.

The drink habit in the United States
is never SO startling as when il is con-
sidered in the aggregate and for year.
There are about 50, 900 900 persons who
are supposed to consume on an average
one quart of water day. THIS is 30,
600, 600 gallons day. 600, 900, 900 a month
and Z, 200, 900, 900 year. Supposing the
people to live ont one-half their allotted
time and the amount of water consumed
by the present population during its life
time would amount to the enormous to-
tai of 252, 600 900, 900 gallons. Further
pursuit of this interesting subject viii
reveal the number of individual drinks
that are taken, reckoning one-half pint
to the drink, and how much money il
saved to the people every year because
the water is free instead of costing 10 OF
