The successful dairyman tries to
keep q large supply Of %succulent food
Tor his COW the year round. For win
ter feeding alfalfa and clover hay are
two OF the best foods that the dairy
man can grow. 1t takes about GO
Der cent OF the food a COW consumes
% maintain her, and we should get
bur profits from the extra food con-
eumed. 30 we can see the necessity of
giving an abundant supply Of food. 1t
has been demonstrated in q number OF
places that cows coming In in the fall
viii give about % per cent more milk
than COWS coming In in the spring.
The reasons for this are obvious. Dur
ing the flush Of her milk the cow is
free from flies, heat and draft. The
grass comes on in the spring and
stimulates her waning powers. In con
nection with this there Is more time
Tor caring for the cows than during
the busy season, and prices are usually
better.
The great drawback with many for
winter dairying is poorly constructed
barns. A cow to do her best must be
well housed as well as well fed. It
takes extra food to supply heat and
energy. Complaint has been made
that dairying is combining. Did you
wei hear of any one making a sue
cess In life without work? Our likes
and dislikes depend largely upon the
amount OF remuneration we receive.
Dairying furnishes employment on the
farm for the boys and girls, and this
means better men and women.
/ have no particular choice as to the
kind OF cows to keep. This is a good
deal like a man getting a wife-it de-
ponds largely on the kind he prefers.
Il you are going to keep cows ex-
clusively for butter, the Jersey, Guern-
oey and Holstein are desirable breeds.
r. you are going to take into consid-
eration the value of a calf, which
seems quite necessary in our trade, the
milking strain OF the Shorthorn meets
the requirements as well as any. The
only reliable test for a COW is the
amount Of butter she produces. If she
does not produce 225 pounds of but
ter TAT per year, she is not a desirable
COW to keep. In building up a herd
Is n quite necessary to select sires

FEEDING FOR PROFIT

The nearer we can keep the feed
within the farm crop the more money
we will make. The basal ration should
be farm grains, Of which oats are the
best milk feed. Gluten feed and meal
and linseed and cottonseed meals
should be fed very sparingly on &C.
count Of price. Protein, however. is
generally the cheapest in the feeds
containing a high per cent Of this i'm
portant nutrient. - Professor T. L.
Hacker.

The Yak.

Yaks, which are the beasts Of burden
in Tibet, are very SUR footed, and a
good one win carry a load Of over 200
pounds safely along the steepest hill
side. They a exist on the scantiest
grass, but grain food suits them for a
few days only. Eight miles a day Is
good average work. A recent traveller
tried leather boots for his yaks without
success. Tame yaks are white, black,
gray and brown and all intermediate
graduations of these colors. The wild
yak is invariably black, and In early
spring his winter coat almost sweeps
the ground. At such seasons wild and
tame are almost indistinguishable, and
a story Is told of a big game hunter in
Tibet who shot his W baggage ami
mails by mistake.

Incident That Led to Its Invention
By TorricelIi.
The barometer was invented by Tor
r1celli. a pupil Of Galilei, in 1913. In
attempting to pump water from a very
deep well "a Florence he found that
In spite Of all his efforts the liquid
would not rise higher in the pump
stock than thirty-two feet. This set
the young scientist to thinking, and rs
he could not account for the phenome-
non in any other way he was not slow
in attributing it to atmospheric pres
sure. He argued that water would
rise in a u only to such a height
as would render the downward pres
sure or weight Of the column of water
just equal to the atmospheric pressure,
and, further, that should a heavier fluid
be used the height Of the column could
be much reduced. To prove this he
selected a glass tube four feet long
and after sealing IL end filled 1t with
mercury and then inverted it in a
basin containing a quantity Of the same
peculiar liquid. The column in the
tube quickly fell to a height Of nearly
thirty inches above the mercury in
the basin, leaving in the top Of the
tube a acuum which Is the most per-
feet that has ever been obtained and
which is to this day called the Tor
ricelli vacuum in honor Of it's discover
CT. The name Of the instrument means
''air measure" and its fundamental
principles cannot be better illustrated
than by the above described expert

the Praise of Charles Lincoln

Within the last few years Birmingham

Charles Lincoln Smith within her gates.
Coming here at the urgent request of cit

pert, possessed of method new and novel,
and of unrivalled SKILL has been induced
by the very necessity for his services
which he found here, to stay on, day
after day and week after week, doing
good to all who come within mis- sphere.
He has performed deeds that were Won
derful and has accomplished achievements
that are grand With. a Judgment that Is
unerring. he has applied his method and
prescription glasses with an accuracy
that has never once failed to accomplish
the result that was intended.
1t is simply marvellous to stand off and
survey the work that Charles Lincoln
Smith has done and the comfort and joy
that he has brought out Of sadness and
desolation. Those who have been bene-
flied by his skill. his knowledge, his art,
come troopng along in solid phalanxr
each anxious to add his voice TO the
general clamor of approval and OF praise
which goes up from the whole city.
