No one has yet openly said the

state Treasurer ogdinfs report before
the time limit. Most every paper in
the State 1hinks that way about it,
however. We wonder what Mr. Og-
din himself has to say about it. The
West virginian probably knows by
this time. Now, It is up to the West
Virginian to again show fits unex-
ceIled enterprise in reference to Mr..
ogdin, but it's dollars to doughnuts

CONCENTRATED FOOD.
Prof. Thomas Gives His Views Upon
This Important Dairy
Subject.

The dairy COW will not rise to a
maximum of reasonable production
unless she is fed a sufficient proper
ton of concentrated food to bring
about such a result. Bulky food can
be much more easily grown on the
average farm than concentrated Be
cause of this, concentrated food is
more frequently purchased than bulky
food, and is, therefore, more expensive
relatively. Moreover, it is my judgment
that many dairymen feed concen-
trated foods in excess of the needs of
the cows which still further adds to
the cost of feeding The discussion of
this question, therefore, is or ought to
be, of much importance to the dairy
man.
The amounts OF concentrated food,
that is the amounts of grain food that
should be fed TO dairy cows will, q
course, be Influenced by the nature of
the bulk of food that is given. Sup
pose cows in the one case eat clover
or alfalfa hay of prime quality, and
In the other, they must consume oat
straw, corn stalks or sorghum, the
amount Of meal that would suffice
along with the clover or alfalfa, would
not be enough to feed along with the
other fodder. .sxss1astS ssEs4ssrses.
1t would not be enough for the
reason first, that clover and alfalfa
are in themselves a more nearly bal
anced ration than the folders named;
second, that they are more suitable
for milk production; and, third. be-
cause the cows will consume more of
them relatively than Of the other
foods.
OF course the degree OF concentra-
ton in the food must be taken into
the account For instance, should the
meal be composed, largely of corn in
the one instance and mainly of wheat
bran in the other, the COW could take
larger quantities of bran without in
jury than of corn. II is a more bulky
food. In any event, however, even
wnere the feeding is sufficiently high
1t is questionable if more than eight
to ten pounds of meal should be fed
to mich COW for prolonged period
during the season of lactation. Ac-
cordlng to stateemnt by the Orange
Judd Farmer, very large and robust
COW may take one or two pounds more
with profit, but COW of 1000 pounds
live weight does not require more than
the amount given above.

A ROAD PLANE.
Is Using to Keep the High

Upon the highways adjoining our

very little labor for us, says George w.

ing to Farm Journal. This implement
is made of two solid oak planks 2xS
inches and nine feet in length, set up
edgewise and framed together by 2x4
scantling, braced in the back with
short iron braces. The lower edges
of the plank are beveled upon the
back, and are shod by boiling on tire
iron from discarded grain drill wheels.
An evener and doubletrees taken from
the harrow complete the outfit. We
hitch our team to this plane and drag
it down one side of the roadway and
back the other side. grading all the
dirt to the center of the track. When
rains come, the water quickly runs
from the roadway and leaves it in good
condition for travel.

mortised but are bolted fiat
1t is necessary that the piece B
shall be very strong one, as the en-

and X, rest solely on this. 1t is well
to block up under this at N when in
use. The pole has a pin, M, which
rests in hole, N, and the two pieces
GG on top of F hold the pole in place.
An iron hoop should be placed around
the base of pole at M to prevent split

2x4's which clamp on each side of the
top Of pole, H, being bottled together.

and pulleys is prepared complete and
