WITH ALFALFA HAY AND Sill
AGE

Pretty soon here in the central
States, when we get to growing
enough alfalfa to balance the cow ra-
ton of silage, dairymen will find that
they have very much reduced the cost
of producing milk, cream, and butter.
although butter and cream and milk
will continue selling at good prices.
Where enough alfalfa is now grown to
balance with silage COW owners are
feeding its advantage greatly. The
day for this is not distant generally in
this and tine other central states. The
great value of this plant is we'll test
ed by those who grow enough alfalfa
to feed with their corn Silage. With
these things assured, we are near the
time when silos and alfalfa fields
will increase rapidly, for this balanc-
ed ration of both high protein and
carbohydrates mas been found equally
fine in feeding growing young beef
cattle as we'll. In the cause of a very
few years both the silOs and alfalfa
fields will be quadrupled, for the COM
bination of these two is rapidly COM
ing to be known as essential in the
most economic growth and production
of beef cattle and dairy products

CORN AND COB MEAL FOR CAT

CORN AND COB MEAL FOR CAT
TIE
Pure corn meal is heavy concen-
trated feed, which usually passes
through the digestive tract Of the
animal without having all of its nutri-
ment distracted from it. Usually it
is much better to dilute this heavy
meal with some other material OF
lower feeding value. Through thus
increasing it's volume, or diluting it,
it is possible that the juices of the
stomach act more freely and COM
pletely upon the food material of the
meal.
Whether this explanation be the cor
rect one or not, it is certainly fact,
that experiments have shown That the
cob of corn when ground with the
grain growing on the cob, in some
way added to the usefulness OF the
material AS evidence on this point
We have the experiments conducted
with fattening steers by Shelton at
the Kansas Agricultural College.
There were two experiments. II eacn
of these one lot of steers received oat
straw, orchard grass, hay and clover
for roughage. One of the two lots re-
ceived corn meal as the concentrated
food, while the other lot was fed corn
and cob meal The steers in each
bunch were of the same quality, the
feed and care were alike excepting
the grain foods. which were as noted;
likewise the quantity of grain food
received by each lot for the period
was the same.
In both cases the steers getting
corn and cob meal made little bet
ter daily gain than the steers getting
pure corn meal, and the total gains
for the lots were about the same.
Shelton concludes, as result OF these
trials. that a pound of corn and cob
meal for steer feeding purposes is
equal to a pound of pure corn meal.
Corn and cob meal as a feed for fat
teling hogs has been tested at three
of the agricultural colleges-viz.:
New Hampshire, Missouri, and Kan
sas At the first two, corn and COB
meal, while in the Missouri trial, the
corn meal was the more valuable.
For the present, and until we have
more experiments to guide us, we
may hold to the statement made by
Shelton, above referred to. that a
pound of corn and cob meal goes so
far in feeding as a pound OF pure corn
meal.-W. A Henry in Indiana Farm

THE TEETHING OF CATTLE.

l1E LEE HIM. VI VA L ILL.,
G. H. E. Mannsville, n. Y: Will DR..
Smead tell how the age OF young cat
tie may be told by looking at their
teeth? A young COW, which | puT-
chased this fall. is said by her former
owner to be only three years old, but
she has eight wide front teeth, the
corner ones not quite SO long perhaps
as the others.
The incisors of cattle are eight IN
number when the animal is one year
of age. Soon after that, in groWthy
breeds or early maturing breeds, the
centre pair begin to get very loose
(please note that at all times these
teeth are mobile-loose); but these
centre ones become more so than the
others, and at any time from fourteen
to twenty months of age they are
pushed out and replaced by perman-
ent ones. Soon after two years OF
age it is the same with the next pair.
and by the time the animal is three
years of age it has six fully developed
teeth, as a rule, with the fourth pair
loosening. Now, if your hcifer was
three years old in February or March
it would be nothing strange at all for
the fourth pair to have shed and to
have been replaced by the last pair.
You and others must always keep in
mind that all animals do not shed
their teeth alike. No one can for
positive certainty tell the age Of
horses, cattle or sheep by the teeth.
Their shedding is in general as stat
ed, subject to variations.-C. ID.

Men of Millions.

Since the death of Marshall Field the
comment has been made that he had
achieved distinction by being, not the rich
est man in the world. but the largest tax
payer. That distinction is very significant
Marshall Field was a man who honored
his obligations. and his taxes he re-
garded as one of the first of those obli-
cations. Every large city, such as New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago is treated
annually TO the delectable spectacle of
enormously wealthy men filing through the
courts to swear off their assessments and
making returns of taxable property which
are VIGOROUSLY inadequate It has been
estimated that If the millionaires of
New York paid the full measure of their
taxation the per capita burden laid upon
the average citizen would be lessened by
10 per cent
1t may be that there is some merit in the
claim of certain plutocrats that there is a
disposition to Jump on the millionaire
simply because he is rich. If that DISPOSE
ton exists however. the great financial
leaders have only themselves to blame for
creating in the public mind an intense and
even unreasoning prejudice against them
as a class. All the righteous living and
the honesty and scrupulous meeting of
obligations of the Marshall Ffelds-and
there are many of them-cannot overcome
this prejudice. The public hears more about
taX-dodging than it does about tax-paying.
The Fields are transformations as a rule in
their performance of public duty.
Nevertheless. the example of such men as
Field does vast amount of good TO hui
manity, strengthening faith and stimulat-
Ing ideals. The people are learning to dis
crinlinate between the living of clean lives
and the maintenance of rigid standards of
honesty, and the cloaking of dishonor and
corruption with the broad mantle of char
ity. The giving of millions is rot he sole
test by which men are judged nowadays,
in this time of widespread inte,ngence. 1t
is d striking commentary on the difference
between the two classes of wealth-gatherers
that such men as Field are celebrated in
the hour of their death for their personal
virtues, whereas the great money makers
who have ignored the precepts of their
youth and forgotten the rules of honesty
are praised chiefly for their requests.

The Senate.

1t was common prediction before the ses-
sior began that the Senate would be the
interesting body of this Congress; that It
would hold the whip hand in all important
matters. and shape things to suit itself
Little thought seemed to be taken Of the
House. The majority vote there, being
large, and the rules favorable to the dis
patch of business 1t was assumed that
the responsible party's policies must he
speedily enough disposed Of We should
keep our eyes on the Senate, where no rules
of coercive character could be invoked,
and where divisions, properly managed,
would yield something.
According to the promise of the start
made, we should soon see what there may
be In this forecast The Senate now has
the Philippine tariff bill. and the statehood
bill seems likely to follow over from the
House In a short time. Then comes the
railroad rate question, and when that ha S
been voted on by the House the Senate will
have all the big cards in it's hands. What
will it do with them? Politicians Of su-
perior powers are on deck. and they are
playing their cards these days unusually
close to their vest buttons.
Gossip Is rife. Some of 1t defeats itself
because of it's palpable exaggeration But

will be advanced; what retarded? Will
any of the three bills fail and, If so, to
the benefit of which of the successful ones
will the failure appear to have redounded?
All three of the subjects are important.
There will be no excuse for the sighting
of any bill by the Senate The argument In
the House on the Philippine tariff bill was
overwhelmingly in its favor. Two new
states are all we should add to the present
number, while sentiment is general that
the railroads should be put IN some kind
of restraint short of government ownership
The whftest of white lights then. will in
few weeks be beating on the Senate and
particularly on those of its members whose
fame is wide and whose skill in playing
politics enjoys the tribute of general ad-
miraton. After shuffing the cards, what
sort of hand will they deal the anxious
public?

Two Miles q Minute.

The speed maniacs are looking eagerly TO
the Ormond Beach race course for the ac-
complshment of the long awaited record OF
two miles in one minute by the automooiie.
They will not be absolutely happy when
this is attained, of course, for they Will
Immediately set about trying to develop
machine that will make two and half
miles in a minute, and when that Is done
they will seek the three-mile motor, and so
on, ad irfnitum, unless they are all blown
to eternal smash in the process.
Friday a car was driven over meas
ured mile, with flying start, in just thirty
one seconds fiat. beating the accepted rec
ord of "a % seconds scored last year on
the same course. This achievement, 1t IS
believed, foreshadows the actual attainment
of the two-mile mark at this meet. and
prepare tons are being made accordingly to
push the motors to the limit of speed and
endurance on the smooth sand course.
The public at large will be chiefly inter-
ested in the cost of this accomplishment in
human life. Last season young Croker was
killed at Ormond while he was driving his
motor a break-neck speed over the sands.
There is no assurance against repetition
of that accident this year. The game these
men are playing Is a desperate one, dan
gerous at every stage. Fortunately in
these races only those who deliberately
elect to expose themselves to the risk Of
death are endangered. There are no limo
cent passengers to be killed. and the spec
tators are well protected from the gyrations
of crazy cars.
When the two-mile mark Is gained. what
good will it do to any one? The car that
makes 1t cannot be put to it's PAGES on the
highways at that rate. The roads would
not permit such speeding, to begin with,
and the laws, weak as they are in many
respects. would soon intervene to end such
diabolical sport. Thus do the motor makers
short-sightedly contribute to the spirit
which places the automobile in the class Of
dangerous Injuries and correspondingly re-
moves it from consideration as useful,
convenient, safe means of transport.
