FOODS AND FEEDING.
By T. q. Raynor.

The digestibility of the fodder
crops we grow is largely in the hands
of the farmer. Our cured folders
are not digestible when cut and
cured about the blooming stage. All
our hay crops come under this head
Mixed grain used for hay fodder,
should be cut when the grain is in
the milk stage. The corn plant
might be considered an exception in
that it's feeding value is best when
the corn has reached the glazed con-
dition. The composition of food
determines whether it is valuable
from a flesh forming point or a heat
and work producing point. There are
five parts IN food which go to build
up an animal and enable them to per-
from certain functions. These are
water, protein or flesh formers, car
bohvdrates and fat or heat and work
producers, and lastly ash or mineral
matter which goes to form bone. The
proper combination of these food
constituents to perform the functions
required indicate the skill of the
feeder. We speak of balancing the
foods for this purpose. From
experience in feeding it has been
found that a certain proportion of
protein to carbohydrates vix: l: 6 is
about right to produce milk. A food
containing the same amount of
digestible protein with little more
carbohydrates will fstten stock. Then
in preparing food for young grow
ing animal the nearer it can initiate
the composition of whole milk, the
better will be the result. In the full
flush of pasture it is found that grass
will supply all the wants of our
animals. If we could make June
conditions all the year around, we
would have the best conditions for
feeding stock. Naturally we don't
have them, so then we attempt to i'm
itate them as closely as we can.
This is accomplished in July and
August, by growing soiling crop, or
supplementary food, such rs mix
ture of peas and oats. Later on green
corn may be used. IL the winter
time we initiate summer conditions
by providing summer conditions as
possible and by providing some
succulent food induced by corn in
silage or roots, or better by some of
each. The succulent food helps the
animal to digest the dry and bulky
foods to advantage as we'll as to keep
the body 10 healthy condition.
We have illustrations of good pro-
tein foods In Linseed meal, milk, peas
wheat, bran, and clover. We have
illustrations of carbohydrates food in
barley, wheat, rye, corn, timothy hay,
corn fodder and turnips. Ia oats we
have the illustration of a balanced
food and is generally recognized as
being about the best single grain
farmer can feed. Oats and bran are
good for building up the bone of
growing animals. There are some
things to be taken into consideration
in feeding animals such as shelter,
exercise, individuality, succulence
variety, regularity etc.
Those foods which contain the
most protein are best for furnishing
good manure. The nitrogen element
is the most Important of the three

York on account of his public services
and was nominated for vice president
against his own wishes for the same
reason. In all these positions and as
president Of The United States he has
done his duty fearlessly and honestly.

words of Cheer for the Democracy.

1t has been given out to the forlorn
and dropping Democracy that willie
Hearst is loosening up; that he has
been induced to put In few thousands
to open headquarters for the National
Democratic clubs. The hungry know
well that this means that Hearst as
ptres to be candidate again, but they
are not worrying about 1908 now.
-Four years ago Hearst was presi-
dent and foOter Of bills for the Ma
tional Democratic clubs. The mem
bels met, If memory serves Alright,
at indianapolis, expecting to greet
their president. But he sent one of
his hired men to receive the greetings
of his admirers. This dampened the
ardor of the crowd, despite the fact
that their fare back home was paid,
The November election settled the
whole concern, but it seems that the
N. ID. 9. is to be resurrected, what
little there is left of its ashes.

Two Judges with Political Pasts.

Democracy can always be depended
on to blunder. The nomination OF
Judge Parker was blunder because
he received his early political training
from d. B. Hill. one of the most no.
torious wire-pullers and workers in
devious ways New York has produced
The nomination Of d. Cady Herrick
for governor Of New York also was a
blunder, because he was boss" of
the Democratic machine" at Albany
before his election to the bench. The
Albany INA chine' has a reputation as
unenYiable as TammanY's.

The Flag Should Net Come Down.

Among the reasons given by John
S. George, lifelong Democrat and
nephew Of the late Governor r. p.
Flower, of New York, for declaring
his intention to vote for President
Roosevelt, is this:
The Democratic leaders are making
speeches against so-called miltarism
and Imperialism and they are demand
ing that the Philippine Islands be given
up and abal doned, SO far as the guar
dianship of the United States Is con-
cerned. l dc not believe that the Amer
lean flag should ever come down from
any pole tina, it is once raised upon.

President Roosevelt personally
stands for courage, honesty, decelcy,
strength and common sense. AS a Re

alike. He realizes he is the servant

discrimination.

Candidate and Platform.

This years presidential election will
not be won by any formal platform.
The Republican platform is good but
the Republican candidate is better.
The truth is Mr.. Roosevelt is the real
platform for both parties He is the
main point of attack by the Demo
Gratis and the main source of strength
for the Republicans. He would be
elected without any platform excep,
the record Of the party and his own.

ANCIENT BABYLON.
It's Great Wall Was One of the Won
ders of Those Days.


According to Herodotus, the ancient
city Of Babylon stood on broad, level
plain and was an exact square Of four
teen miles each way, making the entire
circuit OF the city fifty-six miles. 1t
was protected both by a wall and a
moat, the latter being broad and deep
and kept constantly filled with water.
But the wall was the wonder of Won
ders. being SO 1-3 feet in width and an
even 200 feet in height. This monster
barrier was provided with 100 gates,
all of solid brass, the lintels and side
pieces being in bronze. Cross walls
ran along the banks Of the Euphrates,
each provided with twenty-five gates
which corresposded to the number OF
streets running in each direction from
the river
The most remarkable ediflcc inside
tie wall was the temple Of Bel, pyra-
mid of eight square stadia ON the
summit of this pyramid stood a pure
gold image of Bel forty feet high, two
other smaller figures of the same pre-
eious metal and a golden table forty feet
long and fifteen feet wide This Won
derful city first came prominently into
