This subject will require some inves-

ing of feeding rations for milcl cows
than had hitherto been considered nect
essary. As protein is an expensive in
gradient in feed formulas this con.
cluslon will lead to reduction in cost
and hence be of more or less value to
farmers.
And here it might be we'll to add
that this matter might become more
simplified and helpful in the growing
of such crops on the farm as contain
a large percentage of protein, as the
clovers, particularly the alfalfa, where
this can be successfully grown Peas
also are rich in this element and when
grown along with oats make excellent
feed for milk, either when fed green or
when made into hay, or allowed to
rlpen for the grain.
When the corn crop with its wealth
of fat and heat-producing elements,
crop that is adapted to so large a
portion of this country, will greatly
assist in the farm grown products.
With such resources it is possible for
the farmer with the purchasing of
such grain feeds as are necessary to
make up a ration that will produce
the most satisfactory results in the
dairy.-E. r. Towle, in American Gull

fastened in at the wrist with a band
or cuff, and fitting well over the shoul-
ders and around the neck.

There stood out in memory little lake
that nestled among the hills where
swect-breathed cattle browsed and
where the branches of great trees were
mirrored in crystal waters. There
were the boathouse and the swimming
hole and the spring-bOard; and there

The operations of the stock ex-

crop, slump in the production of
grain, or the prospect of one, turns the
floor ok the Exchange into pande-
monium. Year by year the eyes of the
moneyed interests are turned to the
earth, figuratively speaking, and the
keenest minds of the metropolis are
speculating as to what success the
farmer is going to have with his crops.
The results Of that speculation involve
millions of dollars. All the country
knows what happens in New York
when the cotton crop fails. The beef

eggs at 35c dozen are too expensive
