Thus Men Puzzle Women,

Eve women, said a reflective mem
Der Of the sex, "are said to be puzzles
to men. However that may be, it GER
tainly seems to me that the masculine
mind is at least as puzzling. Why is
it, for instance, that a man will de-
vote himself with the utmost ardor to
the task of winning wife, and then,
having gained her, calmly settle down
as though there were nothing more
left to do? Is not the male reason
strong enough to perceive that love
Is something so elusive and subtle

Mails and the Snow Blockade.

Several Great Northern railway
mail clerks have been transferred
temporarily from runs out Of Grand
Forks to runs on the Northern
Pacific. There is a blockade 80 miles
west Of Hayer and three snow plows
are said to be in huge drifts. The
mail for the coast is being sent over
the Northern Pacific and it is neces-
sary to have more help to take care
of it.
Orders have gone out to the 500
towns to establish mail Stages to the
nearest towns on the Great Northern,
the 500 to foot the bills. The Mylo
mail will be taken to Wolford and
the Overly mail to Willow City. The

FEEDING FOR MILK

Only the amount of food In excess
of that which is necessary to maintain
animal heat and repair the waste Of
the animal tissue can possibly be n
source of profit hence the more a COW
can be induced to eat above this
amount within safe limits the larger
profits she should return in the total
amount of food consumed.
Feeding siIaee to Cows.
In writing OF the value of the silc in
the National Stockman and Farmer a
New York dairyman says:
About thirty or at most forty pounds
a day OF siage is as much as should
be fed 10 each COW. If the feeding
commences Immediately after filling
the silo. and this is a good way TO do,
there will be no damaged siiage at all.
My way to feed the silage ration is in
two feeds. night and morning. and It
Is better TO feed after milking. because
the peculiar odor Of the silage might
affect the flavor Of the milk.
II Pays to Feed Well.
To be successful at dairying we
should know that cow is n machine
and that we will get out Of her just in
proportion as we put IN. writes c. /.
Hunt in American Agriculturist. We
would not think OF taking pumpkins TO
the mill for cider, neither should we ex-
pect to get milk from cow fed on
timothy hay or corn fodder alone. Nor
should we expect a profit from cows
when they are fed barely a mainte-
nance ration The profit must come
from the excess OF feed above that
used to maintain life How foolish
then. to withhold the little extra, that
which pays for all the feed used. Is II
not much better to feed n ration cost
Ing say 50 per month and produce SIG
worth of milk than to use one costing
only $3.50 and get no returns?
Value Of Salt.
Salt is very important item In the
dietary OF COW. and many people
are very careless and negligent about
feeding II. Salt is a constituent of the
body and like all other constituents
must be replaced through the channels
Of nutrition. but salt has other func
tons besides forming a small part OF
the organized body. Salt accelerates
the assimilation Of food. especially IA
/ cilitating the passage of the albumi
noids OF the food from the digestive
canal into the blood and facilitating
the circulation thus increasing the en-
ergy OF the vital processes.
