THE BALANCED RATION.
Food for the Animals Must Contain
Protein euHcient to Meet
the Expenses.

At q convention Of dairymen, in q
discussion Of the balanced ration, q
speaker said:
All animals require In the food
enough substance to meet the expenses
OF the body In carrying on Its physio-
logical functions. Every movement
Of muscle, the beating Of the heart,
breathing. ETC.. requires the expendi-
ture Of energy that comes largely from
certain compounds In the food. which
compounds we call protein. We know
then that II an animal Is to live and
work, the food must contain protein
sufficient to meet their constant ex-
penses. The harder an animal works
the greater these expenses. hence the
more protein must the food contain.
Again. we give carbohydrates and
fats to accomplish another purpose
The temperature Of COW Is constant.
practically at 98 degrees r. It Is con-
stant In man at the same mark. How
essential II is that this constant tenn
pcrature is maintained Is very appar-
ent Ia the human system when We rea-

either condition incapacitating the
man for work. n we should attempt
to keep the temperature Of box the
size Of q COW at 50 degrees r. by the
aid Of an oil lamp we would soon be
made aware Of the immense amount ol
heat thus required. The animal herself
Is constantly keeping up this enormous
expenditure OF heat. but she has only
one source upon which to draw and
that Ia manifestly the food consumed
The peculiar functions OF the carbony-
drates and fats IL to keep up the body
supply OF heat. In fact they are more
efficient al heat producers than are tht
other compounds OF the food. The sci.
ence of a balanced ration then consists
In supplying enough protein to take
care Of the daily waste Of protoplasn
to the animals body and In supplying
a sufficient amount Of carbohydrate!
and fats to maintain the Temperature
Of the animals body.

TIM GOOD DAIRY COW.

While the Prairie Farmer does not de-
sire to unduly depreciate the value Of
the general characteristics of . good

those who have advanced the physical
method Of determining good mixers
and butter producers. we do wish to lay
particular stress upon the importance
of testing by the pail and churn. pro-
viding Babcock test is not available.
In other words select your dairy COW
according to her works.
Here are the points which are gen.
orally considered Indicative of dairy
quality: Head. small and clean.cut;
muzzle large: forehead straight or con-
cave; neck long and thin without being
scrawny: horns relatively small; eyes
bright and prominent; shoulders thin,

The main points In the selection ol
COW are to secure large udders tha
are not feshy. and large roomy bellies
showing capacity for consumption o
large quantities Of food. OF course

not always profitable cows. but the,
generally are. Cows are seldom profit
able unless they produce at least 25(

Short DANCING Erocks.

1t is becoming more and more the
fashiOn-to speak correctly, the fad
to have all dancing frocks made short
and for summer simple, inexpensive
muslins and silks, spangled nets and
gauzes all follow the trend of fash
ion. There is much that is practical
in this. The long trains were absurd
1y inconvenient and hard to manage
and did not even show to advantage
in a crowded ballroom, whereas these
short skirts are, if well made. extreme
1y smart and becoming. The skirts
are very full around the foot and the
flare is most carefully calculated, so
that around the hips there shall not
be one inch of unnecessary material,
while below almost the effect of GRIN
oline is demanded-and so many ruff
f1eS and hounces of chiffon and lace
as are displayed by the whisk of the
skirts as the wearer moves about
well, fortunately, there is not so much
difficulty in keeping the skirt looking
fresh and neat as there was with the
long skirt that after one wearing was
a pitiful spectacle.

RAN DOWN MOOSE IN A CANOE
Couple Have an Odd Experience on
the Lake at Kineo, Me.

Couple Have an Odd Experience on
the Lake at kineo, Me.
DIR. and Mrs. F. H. Jencks, of Woon-
socket, r. l., are the first visitors to
run down by canoe a bull moose with
in sight and sound of the hotel, but
they accomplished the unusual feat
last week and a number witnessed the
chase, says a dispatch from Kineo.
Maine.
The moose was first sighted by Mrs.
Jencks while on the way by canoe to
the fishing grounds. On rounding the
northerly point of Kineo Cove she no.
ticed an object in the water, near the
shore, which she at first took to be q
log. Closer examination showed that
it was moving rapidly out into the
lake. She called the attention of the
guide to the object.
Its moose; reel in your lines" he
whispered. For a while the guide held
the canoe in the shadows near the
shore, allowing the moose to put suf-
fcient water between him and the
shore so that retreat would be impossi-
BILE, and then the race began. With a
good start a moose can lead the best
of canoists, but in this case the guide
had matters his own way, for head
whichever way he might the moose
would be losing ground.
In the course of due time the canoe
was alongside, and the occupants were
stroking the shaggy back of the tired
and frightened animal, with their fly
rods as he surged on, snorting and
grunting furiously. After time the
moose was driven ashore half a mile
down the lake, and later seen on the
mountain side and on the shore of the
lake.

Girl in White Here Again.

Girl in White Here Again.
A woman of fashion asks: What is
the white linen girl?" Dear me-" says
she, "you just stirred us all up over
Alice blue, watermelon pink, and such
unheard-of things. Now it's the girl
in white. Who is She"
"a girl who returns every year."
said the woman who knows. "She is
as perennial as May flowers or spring
poems. She is a girl of taste"
This season the girl in smartest
white chooses linen for her fabric.
The white men girI is said to have
originated in London, where the Prin-
cess Victoria set the fad of wearing
white linen year ago.
To be white linen girl one must
wear white linen exclusively. This
applies not only to the very heavy
white everyday suits, but to the del
icately embroidered evening dresses
as well and to the lovely piazza and
garden party gowns. They can be
made very sheer and as expensive as
the most extravagant can desire.
White linen or white eyelet must
extend to the parasol, hat, shoes, belt
and stock. Some extremists even car
ry white linen bags.
White golf materials of the year
are linen, cheviot, heavy white can
vas suiting, pique and even denim.
The object is to get a material that
will not grow limp, and there can be
nothing too heavy LOT the purpose.
There come linen goods thick as a
board, and just the thing for the golf
field. With these go the knitted caps,
or the stiffest white linen sailors.

IinQerie Blouses.

Lingerie blouses are holding their
own with a vengeance. Batiste and
Persian lawn, swiss and dozen 9TH
er materials-white for the most part
are used. A few are made of exqui-
site pale-colored "all-over' batistes,
the touch of white of the embroidery
softening the color still more instead
of accentuating it.
Simple blouses, for morning wear,
with linen skirts or suits, are gaining
in favor. One of the simplest of these
simpler styles, just trimmed enough
to keep it from being severely plain,
is pictured-pattern 6554.
The yoke is trimmed with cross
bands of insertion and the lower part
is eased onto the yoke by clusters of
little tucks. The blouse buttons down

Black is the color for the stout wom-

anything else. while pale blue, light
