Feeding the Milk Maker

Butter flavor is thing largely de-
tcrmined by the feeding and care OF
the COW. While owing To bad manage
ment good feed often produces poor but
ter, it is impossible TO produce fine but
ter with Il fine flavor from poor feed.
Food Value of Corn.
Some stations have published results
Of their experiments, which prove that
10 per cent OF the food value of corn
Is i'm the stalks, leaves and husks. This
makes the stalks nearly as valuable as
the corn If it is put into the silo at
the right time ii will be excellent food
and will be eaten up clean. For this
reason it is good policy to work the
corn crop into silage.
Feeding Grain.
The amount of grain to feed should
be only two-fifths the number of
pounds of milk the COW Is giving, says
the Holsteln- Frlesian Register. If a
COW gives thirty pounds of milk she
should get two-ffths of thirty, or
twelve pounds of grain daily A cow
giving fifteen pounds OF milk daily
should get two-fifths of that, or six
pounds of grain.
weighing the Grain.
When you suggest to farmer that
he weigh the grain he feeds his cows
he will naturally say that It is out Of
the question. He has not the time. II
will seem TO him big job TO weigh
the grain that Is fed to each animal at
night and I'm the morning. There is a
very simple way to get around this
and yet know just what you are feed
ing, says writer I'm Kimbalrs Dairy
Farmer. Every farmer has pan or a
measure Of some. kind with which his
grain or meal proportioned TO the
stock If he will simply take this meas
ure and weigh il once. ii will be an easy
matter TO estimate the amount which is
fed each time. ] had a small measure
which held four pounds Of chopped
corn. / weighed this once. and that
was sufficient to keep close tab on what
the stock were getting.

IMPROVED RUBBER TIRE.
Prevents Slipping When Turning
Sharp Corners.

Prevents Slipping When Turning
Sharp Corners.
Motorists all know that the greater
percentage of automobile accidents are
due to side slipping or skidding. 1t Is
to eliminate as far as possible this
dangerous feature that the tire here
with illustrated is designed. The tire
depends for its action on the fact that
a square edged piece of rubber cannot
be made to slip on a smooth or wet
surface. Fig. 2 shows a tire as fitted
to an ordinary wagon wheel, it being
necessary only to bore a few holes
through the felly for the bolts which
serve to hold the rings. The illustra-
ton shows the original iron tire still
In place, which allows of using the We
hicle with or without rubber tires, as
desired.
The surface T represents the normal
tread surface. Upon rounding curve
the tendency would be to bring the
secondary tread surface T In contact
with the roadbed. This interposes the

tons is calculated to prevent skidding

or the curve very short there is still a

Thrill LING TALE Of PIONEER DAYS
WRITTEN BY ONE Of THE SURVIVORS
As Lad of Eleven He Sees His Parents and Grand parents Give up
Their Lives on Fatal Tralwhen Indians We're Met
.--SCourged With Cholera.

Mr.. Editor:
BY request Of my pioneer friends
will endeavor to write a short
sketch of our perilous journey across
the plains in 1852
l was only a lad of eleven years at
that time, but incidents of those
days are more vivid to my mind than
many things that have happened in la
ter years.
The motives that prompted my
parents to make that adventurous
trip were letters they received from
friends and neighbors who had pre-
ceded them. Among those worthy
pioneers / will name for instance
James Heatherly, and Dan Waldo.
They gave my parents glowing ac-
counts, of the fertility of the SOL
that would bear 40 bushels of wheat
to the acre and said the climate WAS
unequaled anywhere.
They stated that stock of all kinds
would winter on the range and come
off fat in the spring.
country excited my parents and
grandparents to pitch that they re-
solved to make the venture.
They accordingly sold their homes
and belongings at great sacrifice to
make the trip. You will understand
that people of moderate means were
not able in those days to fit out for
the long journey.
Several of our neighbors also sold
out to make the same trip with us.
All preparations being made we
met at my grandfather Abbott's
place on April II, 1852. So we took
our final leave of our home in Usage
county, Missouri.
When They Started.
There were about 10 families, and
would average two teams to the
family.
My grandfather hired four mer to
do the teaming and look after his in
terests for my father was the only
son and he had a family of his own
On the day mentioned the people,
from all around congregated to hiu
us long and affectionate farewell.
Our old country minister was on
hand to offer prayers to Almighty God
for our safe deliverance in the
promised land About 10 o'clock We
bid goodbye to neighbors, friends and
relatives.
The caravan moved westward on
its long and tiresome journey. 1t fell
to my lot to help drive the loose
stock and it suited me very much for
l was very fond of horseback riding.
Everybody enjoyed themselves fine.
They cOngregated around the camp
fires of evenings and sang songs, told
stories, played the violin and talked IF
the promised land.
We crossed the western boundary
line of Missouri at a small town
called West Point Here we entered
the Indian country. There was not
single permanent white settler be-
tween there and where now is The
Dalles, Oregon, except a few Nor
mons at Salt Lake
Our train had increased by other
emigrants joining us, to 40 wagons
and 60 ablebodied men, all well
armed.
The men held a consultation and
organized by electing my maternal
