WESTWARD Ho!

Des Moines Register and Leader
The study of the westward move
ment of the geographical centers of
American activity is highly interest
ing The movement has been steady
and natural. The centers of popula-
ton, of manufactures, Of farm values
and areas and of the productivity of
the various leading crops of the coun-
try have all moved westward. The
Mississippi vallev Is now the center of
the nations wealth.
The steadiest movement of any of
the centers has been that of popula-
ton. In 1900 it was six miles south
east of Columbus. Ind. whereas in
1900 in was eighteen miles east of
Baltimore. Nd. Every decade of the
nineteenth century showed an advance,
the largest being eighty-one miles, be-
tween 1850 and 1S60--thanks to the
westward rush of the gold seekers
the smallest being fourteen miles. be-
tween 1890 and 1900. In the first de-
cade of the century the center ad-
vanced thirty-six miles, in the second
and third, eighty-nine miles, in the
fourth fifty five miles, in the fifth fifty
five miles, and SO on throughout the
entire century. At the average rate Of
progression the 1910 census should
show the center advancing into Illi-
nots and quarter of century more
should bring it to the Mississippi
river, -. =
The movements Of the other centers
have been as marked. The center Of

now about Atlantic, Iowa, whereas
forty years ago 1t was at Indianapolis,

said: "The numerous friends of Hon.
Albert Thompson, of Bourbon connty,
will be delighted to know that he had
an easy thing in winning the nomina-
tion for Sheriff of that county by a
majority of 62S. Good Democrats
will not, and it is foolish to expect il
of them, to turn down a friend like
Thompson. His record in the Legis.

WATER FOR THE cows.
n Amount In Determined by Their
Size and Yield.

How much water does "A milk cow
need daily? The size and yield Of the
COW are the main things that deter.
mine this. The larger COW and the lar.
ger yielder need more water than the
smaller COW and the smaller yielder.
says j. l.. Van Doren in New York
Farmer.
Ordinarily the small COW drinks from
six to eight gallons Of water in TWEEN
ty-four hours, and the large COW drinks
from seven to nine gallons, There is
no fixed measure, as no two cows. even
of the same breed or of the same
weight or on the same rations of the
same feed and yielding practically the
same quantity Of milk of the same
quality, will drink exactly the same
quantity of water.
l have N small COW that Gems 10
be satisfied with five gallons of water
a day, while another one of her weight
takes seven gallons. A neighbor has
a large Holstein- Friesian COW that
drinks over ten gallons a day and an
other quite as large that takes only
eight and a half gallons.
My experience is that the younger
cows require more water and that
there is "a decrease each year in the
water taken as the cow grows older.
In some cases yer this does not hold
good. A COW out of sorts will drink
more or less as she is chilly or fever
fish.
Indigestion, p~asturage, changes in ra-
ton, irregularlty in feeding and milk
ing and the amount of exercise are fac
tors that influence the drinking of the
milk cow. The character of the food
has much influence. Dry foods call
for more water. Succulent food car
ries its own water largely. The COW
on pasture needs less and drinks less
water than the cow on dry feed. In
providing a supply Of water for a herd
II Is well to furnish the water and let
the cows measure their drinks for
themselves. Then they will get the
proper amount at the proper time.
Running water and individual drinking
vessels in the stalls will solve the prob
lem Of water and drinking perfectly.

THE cows.
Cold Rains and Raw Winds Decrease
the Flow OF Milk.

Professor Il. l.. Hacker, writing oil
the fall care Of cows, strongly empha-
sizes the necessity of giving them care
full attention at this season. He says:

cold rain cause an enormous shrink

TO say that comfort is the primest fac
tor. To feed well, but disregard the
bodily comfort OF a o is TO court and
insure disappointment. A COW will

she is wet or shivering from cold. no
matter how generously she Is fed.
Autumn is a more critical period for
a COW fresh In milk than winter. Cold
rains and raw winds are fruitful causes
for decreasing milk. The first makes
inactive the muscular system. while
the latter so disturbs the sys-

Cows should therefore not be exposed
10 fall rains, left out during cold nights
or confined in muddy or wet yards at
any time.
The proof of this theory was clearly
demonstrated by the Minnesota stat
ton herd two years ago. Some changes
were being made In the COW barn
which made 1t lnconvenient to stable
the cows for a few days, and just then
a cold, rainy spell set in, to which
the cows were exposed. There was
not only a very marked shrinkage in
milk and butter fat at once, but they
failed TO recover during the winter,
though the feed was liberal and care
the best that could be given. The COWS
gave 1911 pounds of milk and s
pound of butter fat a day during the
winter. 1t was known when the
shrinkage tosk place and why, but the
attempt to recover II failed. The next
year such an experience was guarded
against, and the same herd gave a
daily average Of 2S.4 pounds of milk
and IL pounds of fat.

BlELA'S COMET.
Its sensational Career Before IL VAN
fshed From Our sight.

fshed From Our Sight.
All Europe was in pangs of terror
when in 1882 it was announced that
Biela's comet would cross the earth's
path. People died of terror, and so se-
rious did the scare become mat a Pari-
sian professor begged the Academy Of
Science to publicly refute the assertion.
The comet came, blazed awhile in the
sky and vanished. Its period Of revo-
luton round the sun being just under
seven years, it came again in 1899 and
was due once more early in 1916. But
In that year. instead of one comet. two
appeared The original comet had d.
vided into two parts, each of which
had a separate existence, though their
paths were the same.
In 1852 the two comets again came
flying into sight. Their path In 1859
was too close to the sun for telescope
scrutiny, but In 1866 1t was expected
that they would be plainly visible. But
the double comet never turned up. Nor
has 1t ever been seen since
Comets are naturally somewhat IN
reliable. They are Of very fimss tex.
ture One great astronomer indeed has
said that you could pack the tail of the
average comet In a p~ortmanteau. So If
they pass too ear to Jupiter or any OF
the big planets they are very apt to get
caught and SO to disappear completely.

stone and Brick siIos.

Stone, brick or grout silos are usual
ly more expensive than wooden ones,
but In return they will last longer when
carefully built, says Professor Taylor
Of the New Hampshire station. The
walls should be at least sixteen inches
thick and should be jacketed with
wood on the outside to prevent injury
from frost and to form dead air spaces,
which will insure preservation of the
silage clear to the wall. These silos
must be made smooth on the inside by
means Of a heavy coat of a first class
cement. Since the acid juices are apt
to gradually soften the cement, it may
be found necessary to protect the coat
ing by a whitewash Of pure cement
every other year before the silo is
filled. IL this precaution is taken the
silo will last for generations. Some Of
the first silos built in this country have
been filed every year without deterio-
rating perceptibly.

the seeds should be removed from
