FEEDING rs.
Experts Opinion on what Constf-
tutes Good Winter Ration.

tutes n Good Winter Ration.
DR.. v H. of Pennsylvania proposes
this very practical problem and asks
for a solution: Il have fifteen cows
milking this winter. have on hand
Is tons of red clover hay, 8 tons of al
falfa, 800 bushels of sugar beets, 2,400
bundles of corn stoyer, 200 bushels of
shelled corn, and thought of investing
1900 for feeds. What would you pro-
pose?" This question is answered by
L. w. Lightly in National Stockman and
Farmer He says:
I'VE will suppose the doctor wants
to feed his cows six months, or 1870
days, equal to feeding one COW 2,70O
days. He has 10000 pounds of red
clover hay, SO we may allow about ten
pounds per day; 10000 pounds of alfal-
ia, and we could allow five pounds per
day; the slower is abundant, so we
should shred it and feed all the cows
would care to CLEAN over and use the
rest for bedding. We would wish the
sugar beets We're larger quantity,
but let each COW have ten to fifteen
pounds daily, sliced or pulped, and
they will act as an appetizer and help
to keep the system in good condition.
There is plenty Of shelled corn, for
which we are truly thankful.
HCorn is a good COW feed, a good
horse feed, a good hog feed, good
poultry feed and a pretty good human
feed. Yes, we know that corn is. a very
good feed, and we also know what we
are feeding when we feed our own
golden maize, which is much more than
we can say when we feed many of the
mixtures and denominations now offer
ed by the feed dealers. Well, / think
would feed about six pounds of that
cornmeal daily. / might even feed
more if the COW gave evidence that she
could handle it successfully.
Nov, let the doctor buy eight tons of
the newest, sweetest, cleanest and
fiakiest bran he can get and one and q
half tons of the best old process lin
seed meal for that 5000, or less if pos
sible, and feed about five pounds of
bran and one pound of linseed meal
daily These figures are approximate
and nearly the maximum for mature
COW, big eater and heavy producer.
Heifers and cows well advanced in pc
Rod of lactation should have less grain
The linseed meal is expensive. but the
roots will give out, and corn is heating,
so would be sure to include it for
the health of the animal"

Rubus rehexus, a novelty in the line
of decorative plants, took a special
prize at the recent American institute

The new rose Richmond receives
much admiration not only for its beau

why the Pallets Don,t Lay.

The April and May Matched pullets
should come into profit about October
or November. It is safe, however, to
say that the bulk of them do not.
Why2 The fault lies alone with the
care these birds receive from start to
finish. They cannot stand any set
backs and must be kept growing from
the day they are Matched until they
are placed in the laying quarters.
There is no secret about the matter.
At no time in their life must they be
oyercrowded. Plenty of room, SO that
they can have plenty OF exercise, is not
only desirable, but imperative. PulIets
for profit should be kept tame. Wild,
scary birds never amount to much;
the egg crop depends upon the amount
OF confidence and comfort the hen, old
or young. possesses. Michael II Boyer

years ago than it is at the present time
curious because the tree is a reliable
grower, producing large, handsome
fruit, and he hardly knows why it has
not been more extensively planted.

Bold Yet Dainty BIoom.


Amateurs probably succeed as well
or better with cosmos than with any
other flower of equal merit. This is
now one of the notable fall flowers,
having undergone much Improvement
at the hands Of the specialists. A tall,
strong growing annual, its bold flowers
have yet an exquisite daintiness and
airiness, heightened in effect by their
foliage setting of feathery green. From
seed started early in the house at the
north the plants will be three or four
feet high by September and tossing
into the air a perfect storm of bright

seed late and in poor soil dwarfs the
flowers.
Though the large Towering cosmos

FEEDING FOR MILK

Get quality of milk by breeding, and
quantity by feeding. OF the grains,
corn and oats and linseed meal, to-
gether with alfalfa or clover hay, will
produce the most satisfactory results
in the dairy. If ensilage is fed, the
ground corn should be supplemented
by wheat middlings and bran. Buck
wheat in any form is the poorest but
ter feed. Cottonseed meal is a profit
able food when fed with grass, but
when fed with the winter ration or
dry food its tendency is to make the
butter too hard.-Farm Journal
1t Pays to Feed Well.
The man who thinks it does not pay
to feed cows good feed or give them
good care and shelter is losing money.
He thinks that by not spending money
he is saving it, He does not get any
to spend or save. 1t is like wheat. AS
long as it is in the bin it does not in
crease. but loses value. Put it In the
ground the proper way and it null
tiplies. So with money. Put it into
good cows, good feed and good barns
and it multiplies.- Advocate.
A Feeding Pointer.
Remember that the COW is machine
that transforms the feed you cannot
eat into milk that you can consume;
therefore do not put any musty, faint
ed feed into that machine and expect
pure and wholesome milk to issue
therefrom.
Feeding Refuse Sugar.
The progress of scientific dairying is
shown by increased attention devoted
to the subject in Russian dairying sec
tons, where various systematic exper-
iments are carried on somewhat on
these lines. A recent test was to es-
tablish the effect of feeding refuse sug-
ar to milk cows. 1t was found that
the substance could be used profitabiy
when fed with regular grain and hay
rations, but, everything considered, 1t
was concluded that linseed cake was a
better feed.
study Grain Composition.
A study Of the composition of our
common feeds will richly repay our
dairymen, says Farm Progress. There
is no good sense in feeding two grains
that are practically the same in COM
position and differ only in appearance.
One must be the cheaper. Yet many
farmers have never given thought to
this matter
Maintaining Milk Flow.
The dairy farmers who make the
most out of the seasons work are those
who have the best cows and who buy
bran, middlings or other feed if it is
necessary to keep up the flow Of milk
and the nervous strength and power of
the cows It Is easier to maintain a
steady flow than to bring COW back
to a full 1ow after she has once fallen
on Better buy little feed and main
tain good flow than to save feed at
the expense Of the milk Cow.

The effect of the grub in the wheat
straw is variable. Sometimes the
straw is distorted, sometimes bent;
again, there will be no enlargement of
the straw whatever, as there may be
large gals or excrescences at the base

not exceed three or four inches, with
the straw CALLED or hardened at the
base of the head. In some cases there
is no outward Indicate of attack.
In thrashing the grain the hardened
portions of the straw break up into
pieces. of from half an inch to an inch
or more in length, many of which do
not go over with the straw and chaff,
but remain with the grain. The pres
ence of these bits of broken straw in
the grain is frequently the first evil
dence the farmer has seen of the pres
ence of the pest in his fields. Wheat
heads from the infested stems are fore
shortened, and the kernels thereby re
duced in size and number.
There are no known remedies. The
most serious rayages are observed on
thin or impoverished soils, especially
along the margins of the fields infest-

SCANDAL IN CHICAGO
DRiSCOLl'S DISCLOSURES BE-
FORE GRAND JURY.
Grave Crimes Are Charged Worse
Things Than Bribery and Conspir-
acy-Twenty or More Prominent
Business Men Subpoenaed.

The greatest scandal Chicago has ever
seen, according to States Attorney Hea-
ley, is to follow the disclosures made
Thursday before the grand jury by j. >.
Driscoll, when the former secretary or
the Associated Building Trades and Coal
Team Owners Association revealed the
entire history Of the dealings between
employers and union labor leaders, par
ticularly that branch of union labor rep
resented by the Chicago Transfers un-
ion.
States Attorney Healey said:
More serious o~ffenses have been COM
mitted than bribery and conspiracy, ana
the evidence presented to the jury has
been Of an extremely sensational charac-
ter. II is very important, and will lead
to startling results. The names mention
ed by the witnesses are those Of promi-
nent men OH both Sides
John c.. Driscoll Thursday was the
chief witness before the grand jury, ana
related what he called the dealings be-
tween the employers and union labor.
fDriscoll told how the coal teamsters and
coal team owners had made the first
Joint trade agreement. which provided
that the owners should employ only mem
bers Of the Coal Transfers Union, and
that the members Of the union should
work for no employer not a member OF
the Coal Team Owners Association.
The effect of this arrangement, the wit
ness declared, was TO force every coal
wagon owner into the Coal Team Own
ers' Association and every wagon driver
into the Transfers Union.
Driscoll took before the jury Thursday
several check books, which together with
the Cancelled checks are expected to prove
many of the charges made by him
against business men and labor leaders.
Driscoll was kept under surveillance
all night by a detective from the states
attorneys Office. One OF the reasons Civ
en- was to protect Driscoll from personal
violence. Another reason was to prevent
Driscoll from being influenced to leave
Chicago.
1t is reported that Driscoll arranged to
20 away as soon as the grand jurors are
through with him. Ii he does it is prob
able he will have to supply a heavy bond
for his appearance when wanted.
Should indictments be voted as the result
OF Driscoll's- exposure. he may be named
as a c~o-conspirator, it is said, but not a
co-defendant, so that his presence at the
trial as the star witness will be douDiy
insured.

oREEk.s PREMIER MURDERED
tabled toDeaih by a Professional
Gambler.

Theodore Delyannis, the popular pre-
mier of Greece, was stabbed and mortal
ly wounded by a professional gambler
named Gherakaiis at the main entrance
Of the chamber of deputies at 5 p. IN.
Tuesday. The premier died within three
hours.
The assassin, who was immediately ar
rested, said he committed the deed in
revenge for the stringent measures TAX
ell by Premier Delyannis against the
gambling fraternity.
The premier arrived ut the entrance
Of the chamber in a carriarge. Ghera-
karis approached, saluted the premier
and opened the carriage door. The pre-
mier was in the act Of thanking Ghera-
karis for his courtesy when the gambler
plunged a long dagger into NJ. Delyan-
mis- abdomen, inficting n %frightful
wound. The murderer was Immediately
overpowered by the attendants.
Medical assistance was quickly secured
and the statesman was taken to a Red
Cross station, where an operation was
performed in an effort to stop the inter
nal hemorrhage. This was unsuccessful
and Premier Delyannis died at 7:30
O'clock.
The news spread quickly and it was inn
possible TO describe the popular evidences
Of sorrow or the efforts the crowd made
to lynch the assassin.
Lynching was prevented by the gen.
darmes, who rushed their prisoner 10 the
prison. 1t is estimated that 10000 per-
sons witnessed the removal of the body
of the premier from the Red Cross sta
ton to his late residence. Members Of
the cabinet and of the chamber of depu-
ties were among the crowd, many Of
them weeping.
The cabinet met Tuesday evening at
the residence of the president Of the
chamber and it was decided that the body
should lie in state in the chamber before
interment.
King George, who is at Tatoi, was in
formed of the assassination and an
| nounced that he would at once return to
Athens.
Investigation by the police shows that
Gherakaris was recently liberated from
prison, having been sentenced to eighteen
| years for the murder of his wife.
