there will be approximately 200 days
of full winter feeding. Therefore for
this period a herd of 10 cows aver
aging 20 pounds of milk per day per
cow, would require approximately 49,
900 pounds of grain and 10000 pounds
of roughage.
There is no doubt in my mind, after
years of experience in growing feed,
feeding and careful study of feed
ing problems in connection with my
duties as a dairy inspector, that the
cheapest, most satisfactory, most pal
atable and most economical way in
which the forage ration can be sup
piled is with clover hay and corn en-
silage. Owing to the large per cent
of water in the ensilage, allow for 10
COWS for 200 days: Sixty thousand
pounds ensilage, 10000 pounds clover
hay, 10000 pounds mixed grain. This
will make the average allowance for
each COW 80 pounds ensilage, 10
pounds clover hay, 8 pounds grain.
If the dairyman does not have a
silo, the best thing to do is to build
one; if that cannot be done, then use
the fodder corn. Three acres of we'll
prepared ground should produce
enough for the 10 COWS 200 days. Four
to five acres of wheat and oats should
furnish one-half the grain ration. Corn
or barley may be grown instead, and it
will prove measure of economy to
purchase some bran, shorts, oilmeal or
glutenmeal.
The intelligent dairyman, while
feeding as near as he can conveniently
to the standard ration, usually prefers
to feed a little over, rather than under
the amount. A small surplus over that
actually needed for maintenance and
normal productions no doubt stimu
lates production.
The extent to which the feeder can
economically go in this direction is a
matter of individuality to be deter
mined by the feeder with each COW.
Some COWS have very limited ca
pacity; if crowded beyond that they
lose instead of gain. Heifers during
the first period of lactation, should al
ways be fed somewhat in excess of the
normal necessary for maintenance and
production. So long as the cow will
respond to gradual increase in the
ration by increased production, it is
usually safe to go on increasing the
food to her full capacity to consume
and digest. Sudden or radical changes
should be avoided. Cows relish va
riety, but where the feeder finds him
self at the beginning of the winter
with three or four kinds of forage on
hand it is better to mix them and
feed portion of each every day than
to do as some l have found who feed
one variety until it is gone and then
change to another.
Twice day is often enough to feed,
although many successful dairymen
practice feeding full ration night
and morning and light ration of hay
or fodder at noon. In either case there
should be regular hours for feeding,
which should be closely observed.
Many feeders sacrifice large measure
of possible profit by irregularity in
time of feeding. Eighty-four to SO per
cent of all milk is water, therefore it
needs no argument to show that water
regularly supplied and to the full
amount that the animal can use, is an
economical supplement to liberal feed
ing. Care should be exercised to have
all forage clean, sweet and well cured.
Managers should be kept sweet and
clean.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-02-01

nomically fed in connection with clO-
yer hay and a grain ration containing
80 per cent or more of the concen-
trated feeds that are rich in protein.
If corn ensilage forms one-half or
more of the forage ration, then the
grain ration should be combined so as
to have ratio Of about 1 to 5. The
average cow, however, will hardly
handle profitably more than one or
two pounds per day of cottonseed, glu-
ten or linseed meal. The by-products
of the flour mills-bran, shorts, mid
dlings-are the most economical
sources of supply for the major por-
ton of the grain ration for the north
western dairymen.
Some dairymen have made the mis-
take of accepting feeding standards
and suggested combinations as pre-
scriptions to be taken according to di-
rections. Such feeders often meet
with disappointment and charge their
failure to errors of the chemist or ex-
perimenter who formulated the stand
ard ration.
So far as standard rations and nu-
tritive ratios are given for purposes
of practical and economical feeding of
farm animals, they are suggestive and
general, indicating a general direction
that if modified to conditions, environ
ment and temper of the animal, may
prove a valuable aid in increasing
the product, lessen the cost of produc-
ton and avoid unnecessary waste.
The German feeding standards have
been accounted approximately correct,
but to be modified by varying condi-
lions. The American experiments,
conducted with the greatest care but
under varying conditions, indicate that
the German standards are safe basis
from which to formulate rule of
practice. These give as necessary for
a mature animal weighing 1000 pounds
Is pounds of dry matter containing 8.8
pounds of digestible organic matter, of
which seven-tenths of a pound shall be
protein, one-tenth of pound fat, or
ether extract, as it is commonly called
in the bulletins. For milk production
the German tables add to the neces-
sary maintenance ration for each
pound of milk: Protein, 0.08; carbohy
drate, 0.18; fat, Dol.
Two experiments, extending over a
period of 154 days, conducted by Prof.
T. L.. Hacker at the Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station, in which the feed
given IL COWS was weighed, careful
record kept of food consumed and
milk produced, the result was, after
providing the Standard Maintenance
Ration: Protein 0.05, carbohydrate
0.22, fat 0.017, for each pound of milk
produced. AS the conditions under
which the experiment was conducted
were like those found in we'll man
aged dairies in the northwest, and the
feeds used were those available here.
I prefer to use Prof. Hackers figures
rather than the German table, as
have always held that the feeding of a
wider ration than that provided by the
German standard was both practical
and economical in Minnesota.
Starting from this basis, we find no
conflict between the practical results
in the dairy and the theory Of the Ia
boratory, that as the quantity of milk
increases the character of the ration
should be varied from a maintenance

DawsOn's Fees Were Not Turned Into
the State Treasury.

The most important among the bills
that failed was the proposed bill TO make
the auditor the statutory attorney for all
foreign and nonresident domestic corpOr-
alton, fixing his fees for same at $40 per
annum in every case, and requiring that
fee to be paid into the State treasury.
The Wheeling Intelligencer, one Of Mr..
Dawson's most superseryiceable organs,
says as to its failure: mo good reason
exists why the bill should not have been
passed. 1t was expected TO have fur
nished from $4,000 to $4,000 annually
to the State treasury"
But is there not reason why it should
not have been passed.
For several years the law has re-
quired the appointment Of statutory at
torney by this class Of corporations, but
il left TO them the selection of such at
torney. 1t has been the almost inyaria-
ble custom for the Secretary Of State to
solicit and secure this appointment,
charging these corporations SO per an
mum each for his services. Mr.. Dawson
has been Secretary OF State for over
seven years During that time be has Sc
cured a clientele of this class Of corpor-
alions which is estimated 10 net him S25,-
600 annually in fees. Some estimate the
number of corporations he thus repre-
sents as high as 5000, or fees aggregat-
ing $4,000 per annum. These fees do
not expire when Mr.. DawsOn's term as
Secretary of State ends. IL elected Gov
ernor he will doubtless continue 10 repre-
sent most Of these corporations during his
term Of office and for years TO follow
and will probably in ten years in the
future have an income of $4,000 an
nually from this source. The rule is that
such corporations do not change their
attorneys, and he will only lose a client
by the termination Of its corporate exist
ence. Is there not in this fact a suffi-
Gent reason why this meritorious bill
failed-a bill which the Intelligeneer says
would have put from $4,000 to $4,000
per annum into the State treasury
Mr.. Dawson represented himself as a
most jealous and ardent tax reformer be-
fore the convention acted upon bis nom
nation; but the history Of transactions
which relate 10 his personal interest in
tax subjects fully demonstrates that his
tax reform ideas lose their keen edge
when brought to the test Of reforming
money out of his own pocket into the
public treasury.

When the petals of the great laurel magnolia are touched, however lightly, the result is a brown spot, which develops in a few hours. The fact is taken ad vantage of by the South Ameri. can lover, who pulls magnolia flower, and on one of it's pure white petals writes a motto or message with disappointed pen cil. Then he sends the flower, the young lady puts it in a vase of wa ter, and in three or four hours the message written on the leaf be comes perfectly visible, and re mains so.

POPE A GREAT FAVORITE.

For no eccle siastic can have been more widely known than he. A pulpit orator of renown from the very outset of his priestly career, the sought

MEMBERS or CONGRESS.
Men Who Were Born in One Section and Represent Another at
 Washington.

There are few men in congress who are natives of southern states, but who have moved north and represent northern constit. uencies, says the Washington Post. There is but one man who is a native of a northern state who have been elected from the south, and in this case he comes from Q border state. Very many men born in eastern states are now representing western states. This is very natural, as the tide of immigration has been from east to west, and the west has been peopled by the east.
 It is a rare thing, however, to find a man in congress from the east who was born in the west. But there are some. Fowler, of New Jersey, and Greene, of Mas. sachusetts, are natives of Illinois. Perkins, of New York, was born in Wisconsin. Hearst, of New York, is a native of California.
 The men who were born in the south and now represent northern constituents are Senator Hawley, of Connect!cut, who was born in North Carolina; Senator Cullom, of Illinois. native of Kentucky, border state, however,; Senator Newlands, of Nevada, a native of Mississippi; Speaker Cannon, of Illinois, and Representative Dix. on, of Montana, and Shober, of New York, were born in North Carolir4a; Representative Mar shall of North Dakota, is native of Missouri. West Virginia is not always counted a southern state, and the fact that her two senators are Ohio born scarcely makes the exception to the rule that few northern men are sent to congress from the south.

WHO GETS MOCHA COFFEE 2
Most of It Taken by Sheiks and Gov srnors of Arabia-Little h
 Ever Exported.

"I don't believe there is a pound of genuine Mocha coffee on this continent" Mir. G Hilli. glas, a coffee merchM. orms me, says a writer in thep1 Louis Globe Democrat, Cor that 10 peo. pie In this country have ever tast. d 1t, unless they have at some time visited Arabia and drunk it at the table of some sheik or gov. ernOr.
 "1'he true Mocha is the finest coffee grown; it las delicious fla vor that makes it as superior to the very best of other brands as silk is superior to cotton, but the crop is extremely limited, and hardly ever more than satisfies purely local demands. Some Arabian coffee may find it's way to this country; it may even be called Mocha, but it is not the real arti. cle, am sure, and none of us has ever had it here, though we get the best of other brands that are grown in Ceylon and Java, and that means some mighty fine cof- fee. It is not Mocha, however, for the whole of the true Mocha crop each year wouldn't supply the cof. fee demands of one ward in St. Louis alone for a period of six months. The best and plumpest berries of the Mocha growth, those with the most exquisite flavor, are eagerly taken by the governors and sheiks in the vicinity, and they have to get their orders in in advance, so that they may be sure of their annual sup. ply. The second-grade berries go to the wealthier citizens, not of the governing class, and the third, or poorest, grade of berries, which are not much superior to the best Java coffee, are sold to the people, and the demand invariably ex ceeds the supply.
 "Sometimes a few pounds of this cheapest grade of Mocha finds its way to Constantinople, but it is very, very seldom, and don't believe an ounce of it has ever got any further. west thanthat Ipre. sume that if, by some hook or crook, a pound of the real plump berried Mocha were landed in this country it would sell for a price that even Rockefeller might hes. itate to pay. We get the best cof' fee grown, apart from the Mocha, but the local conditions which pre-. vail where that coffee is raised prevent us from obtaining any, and I hardly think the real thing will ever be found in Ourmarkets."
