POINTS ON FEEDING

Discriminate in feeding. The fresh
milk cow needs more than the cow
milking six months the cow giving a
: large quantity ofamilk more than the
one giving a small quantity, the grow
ing cow more proportional]y than the
mature cow. the large COW more than
the small one.
Corn as a Dairy Feed.
Corn may or may not be good feed
in the grain ration. 1t will depend
upon the use the cows make Of it. IL
you have cows that will convert it into
milk, it is good; if into beef, it is bad
that is, if you are in the dairy bust
ness. Judge your cows and feed ac-
cordingly.
Use Brains In Feeding.
Don't use shovel for feeding. Get
a measure and weigh once in awhile,
SO that you will know approximately
what each cow is getting. A scale is
one of the best things you can have
in the barn. Weigh the milk and then
get it tested, each cows milk separate
ly. Use pencil in feeding.
Roots For Drying Cows.
When a cow begins to fatten up and
drop off in her milk flow, don't try TO
bring her back by increasing the grain
ration Rather decrease it. Feed more
roots or ensilage and less grain to the
cows with a fatteniGg tendency. II
q COW is going to dry off in her milk at
six months. don't let her get fat at it.
It's not profitable to let her.
Alfalfa Hay Versus Bran.
The Virginia experiment station has
been feeding alfalfa hay to milk cows
in trials against bran, at $50 ton. and
the hay rated at SO ton. with the re-
suit that the milk on the alfalfa ration
cost 81 cents gallon and Il pound OF
butter 1914 cents In other words. 100
pounds of milk We're made 1913 cents
cheaper than with bran and 100 pounds
of butter with $3.50 less outlay. This
is worth looking into by the farmers
where alfalfa can he grown.

III. e. Cook, writing in National
Stockman and Farmer, says:
| have been watching two heifers
alike in their conformation and evident
ability to give milk. Both began giving
approximately the same weight OF
milk One of them was carefully fed
to bring out all there was in her. She
steadily gained in flow. never giving
over thirty-three pounds a day. but
during the year made 200 pounds, not
bad for a two-year-old. She will soon
freshen again, a big, nice three-yeaf-
old ready for good work.
The other one is farrow and will
probably be fitted for meat. Her milk
was not weighed daily, but. as / learn
it, she has not exceeded 1000 pounds.
She had no encouragement at the out

has come to an inglOrious end. Finely
bred and well built heifers do not al
ways trot fast from the word go. They
have to learn how TO score. A little
coaXing and training in the way of ex-
ira feed and care give stability. and
soon a developed cow comes from an
unpromising heifer. The milking habit
thus formed will not forsake them in
after years.

TWO SMALL BOYS GOT OUT HOSE CART.

Monday morning at six O'Clock
City Marshal Jno. L. Barnett
gave a six-shooter fire alarm,
quickly followed by the usual
old reliable locomotive whistle
alarm, that brought darlington
citizens tumbling cut to save, as
they thought, the two story resi-
dence of Dan w. Umstead on the
corner of Main and Robinson
streets. The pretty part of the
performance was that before
many of the populace could get
to the confagration the fire lad
dies had put on their rubber
hose and doused the little blaze to
a finish. 1t wasn't Dams house
at all, but only the little SER
wants room in the ysrd just back
of the residence. The fire caught
from the well known "defective
fiue." The loss consisted in the
burning of a few shingles and a
little Notwithstanding and the
wetting of some of the servants
belongings--not to mention Hen
ry Rogers suit of clothes, in
which he led the brigade, and the
personal apparel of some other
of the fire fighters.

writes that this triumph of the

value of both to the City. If

protectors they should get them
at once.
Willard Caviness and some
other fighters had stiff run all
the way from the lake to get 10
the game. But two small boys
took the ton sheaf of honors at
this fire by opening the engine
house and getting the first hose
cart out into the street before
anybody else arrived. These
boys were John Morton Victory,
son of John M. Victory, aged
elevenyears, and Claude Shanks,
a boy of fourteen, whose home is
in the household of Umstead.

foresight was as good as our hind
sight we would be a blamed sight
better off.
Those who have had experience
and necessarily hindsight-will
remember last year how import
ant it was to have advertising
planned and prepared well in
advance. Those who waited till
the last minute to select the
proper things to advertise, to
prepare advertising and arrange
for advertising space now re-
member how such dilatorIness
hurt business.
Delayed advertising and poor
advertising will hurt this year as
we'll as last year.
Be on time and get up good
copy on good values.
Which comes pretty near being
the keynote of successful holi-
da, season.
1t is next in Importance only
to good store and stock.
The advertising should be fill
ed with suggestions as to holiday
gift giving.
If you are advertising a $79S
jacket for women say somewhere
in the ad that it is a sensible
Christmas present.
If you are advertising box of
perfumeries say lot about its
being especially appropriate as a
holiday present.
If you are advertising jack
knife or a pair of skates shed
some printers ink on the fact
that every boy aches for these
things Christmas time.
If you are advertising books
speak about the long winter
evenings which can be whiled
away through the generosity and
affection of the friend at Christ
mas.
And so on.
Every imaginable thing sold
can be utilized as a Christmas
present--whether it be a house
and lot or a paper of pins. Aud
in speaking of it touch upon its
desirability and uses as 4 Christ
mas present.
A reaction has set in in the
pest few years from giving trum

ents that are sensible and useful.
Tell the public that your stock
of Christmas gifts have been Sc
lected with an eye to their utlli-
zaiion-that while You have large
varieties of holiday merchandise
in which every taste and style
are conferred, yet service and
probability have never yet been
overlooked. This argument will
