CONDITION OF TRADE.

While trade reports show that conditions keep
well in touch for variability in the weather, in most
parts of the country the outlook is remarkably
satisfactory, everything considered. Reports from
the Far West and the Northwest, with the exception
of San Francisco, show that business in May and
the first days of the present month has been even
better than it was last year. In Seattle and Port
land, Oregon. trade has been good enough to keep
merchants eated, and in the last named city the ex
port trade made record.
In the state of Washington it is expected the
wheat crop will reach 100000 bushels. This
with the good May trade, will account for much OF
the confidence in the Far West. II will be inter
esting to note what effect the talk in Japan will
have trade conditions in Washington, Oregon
and California.
There are no indications as yet OF any falling
of in the demand for steel. In Chicago iron and

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

The days for registering are fast drawing to
close and splendid spirit is being shown by thou
sands Of citizens, but there are indications that
very many are still remiss in this imperative civic
duty. On Saturday substantial and cheering gain
was made and it is hoped there will be constant
increase of interest during the remainder of the
registration period, which will expire on the 2oth
day of the present month. That present cond-
tions not what they should be is. a fact recog-
nized by many men of influence in this community
who still fear to oppose the Republican party or
to criticise its opposition to reform The inde-
pendent citizen should at this time realize that the
most effective work he do is to induce all that
of open minds TO register. 1t will be too late
after the end Of this month for any very few
to qualify, such as, for instance. may within few
weeks become possessed of real estate.
1t cannot be too often brought home to the
citizens of Providence that love of the city should
urge him 10 qualify to vote and then to vote and
induce others to vote for such candidates as will
work to secure for the city some sort of adequate
representation in the general assembly.
Perhaps the facts concerning misrepresenta-
tive government in this state have never been more
concsely put than in the circular of the Rhode
Island Constitutional league few years ago The
main statement in that circular was: I'm the
Rhode Island senate five cities with $4,000 popu-
lation have FIVE senator's Five towns with less
than 5000 total population have five senators"
That is 10 say, in the one instance a town senator
represents 1000 persons, city senator on an av-
erage 6, 500, or in other words, voter in city
is only equal to one fftysixth of voter in town.
Talk will not change this outrageous condition, but
votes will, and much, very much, depends on how
the residents of this city attend during the next
three weeks to the matter of registration.

INSINCERITY IN
THE PROGRAM

The second peace conference begins at
The Hague on the 18th OF this month. The
attitude OF England In regard to the de-
liberation Is problematical. for that gov
ernment has been too busy denying JUS
tice to Ireland to instruct its delegates as
to their action in the congress of pacif-
cation. Forty-six governments are to be
represented, but Spain is the only one
that has taken any conspicuous part In
promoting the plan OF disarmament.
A German paper. humorously discuss

steel production is being pressed to the limit.
Cheering news also comes that collections are un-

weather has seriously affected the general trade.
Still in other parts of New England the increase in
mill wages has really kept things nearly normal,
though, of course, many retail merchants have
found it difficult to dispose of some lines of mer-

Food Value of Corn.
Some stations have published results
OF their experiments, which prove that
45 per cent OF the food value OF corn
Is in the stalks, leaves and husks. This
makes the stalks nearly as valuable as
the corn. If IL is put into the silo at
the right time it will be excellent food
and will be eaten up clean. For this
reason II is good policy to work the
corn crop into silage.
Feeding Grain.
The amount Of grain to feed should
be only two ffths the number OF
pounds OF milk the COW Is giving, says
the HolstelnFriesian REGISTER If a
cow gives thirty pounds Of min; she
should get two-dfths of thirty. or

HOW MUCH GRAINY
Scientific Feeding Talk Turned Into
Everyday Terms.

ENffyuht AfFtns.
a COW should receive all the grain
she can probably make use of in her
ration and no more.
This is where the skill of the feeder
comes min being able to tell just
how much each individual COW can
make use Of.
Some cows are capable OF taking fif-
teen pounds of grain day and manu-
featuring Il into milk; others can make
only ten pounds of grain into milk, and
so on down to five, even two. pounds OF
grain day.
The same COW may require different
quantities of grain at different times.
When a COW is fresh and giving a
large quantity OF milk she needs more
grain than late In the period OF lacta-
ton.
This one point should be borne in
mind, that the quantity Of milk a COW
Is giving or capable OF giving should
largely determine the amount of grain
TO feed.
Now, tbs leads us into water that's a
little deep. We must know how much

Clean Milk.

The filth that gets into milk Is TO a
large extent readily soluble In the
milk, and no straining altering or CEN
trlfuging can remove it, Following
milking. however, the number Of bac-
terra is constantly being increased from
unclean and unsterile utensils and APP
paratus used in straining, cooling and
transporting the milk.
There are Of course many other ways
in which milk may become impure ex-
elusive Of deliberate adulteration. The
greatest amount Of dirt comes from
the exterior OF the COW during milking.
and much Of this may be kept out by
using a covered milk pail.

This is something for us TO think
about. The dairy COW brings up the
fertility of the farm. In the south
they are paying about SOB a ton for
cottonseed meal and throwing it out
for fertilizer. Why not buy that cot
tonseed meal and put it through the
COW and let the COW pay for it and
then put the fertility on the farm?
This is something for us as students OF

FEEDING FOR MILK

1t will surprise many dairymen to
learn that the carefully kept cows on
the Detroit dairy farm are given four
ounces of salt each daily, mixed with
their feed. They eat their food better,
and the owner thinks they do better
when given this amount than when the
allowance is smaller. The COWS are fed
three times a day, and the salt is di-
viGed between the three feeds. Fine
table salt is invariably used. The COWS
prefer it to coarse salt.
balanced Rattons.
The balanced rations red every day
In the year by a noted eastern dairy
man are made up as follows: Every
feed consists OF three parts. A por-
ton of it is some succulent material
silage in winter and rye. timothy and
clover. corn. peas and oats or some
other green crop in summer. a sec
ond portion consists of dry hay or fod-
der. This is used to give the manure
proper consistency and adds much to
the convenience OF caring for the COWS.
a third portion consists OF mill prod
ucts, Of which three kinds are used
bran. oil meal and gluten. The pro
portion of concentrates fed depends on
the condition Of the COW and Is regu-
lated by the flow of milk and the con-
sistency of the manure.
MangeIs For MILK.
Professor Hacker Of Wisconsin be
lieves in mangels and would feed them
twice day.
The Cow That Has Freshened.
The COW that has just freshened
should receive moderate ration at
first, and, while no nfallible rule can
be given, an increase Of half a pound
Of grain every other day until the full
flow of milk Is obtained will be found
TO work well In the majority Of cases.
