{ FEEDING THE DAIRY COW
10 Secure Profit She Must Have More
I han Maintenance Ration.

It should be remembered that 1t re-
squires something more than a main
tenance ration to secure profit. The
COW looks out for herself first of all
and cold stable or exposure to cold
winds or storms lessons the amount
of milk by increasing the demands OF
nature In keeping up animal heat. In
other words the COW which is exposed
to severe cold, uses up more of her
food in fuel for her body than she
would if kept in comfortable stable
Hence the Importance of keeping the
milch COW. warm.
Good clover hay is excellent for
this purpose, while timothy is almost
worthless. Corn stalks possess value
in this direction often underestimated.
Good, bright stalks housed before they
become weather beaten are about
equal to clover hay, while the many
virtues of silage it is needless to
enumerate.
Next to the silo as means OF Sc
curing best results with the corn plant
comes shredding or putting through
an ordinary feed cutter dry. Either
is better than feeding whole stalks
which means so much waste. Some
thing of concentrated nature must
be fed with any kind of roughage to
secure profitable milk flow in win
ter 49, ~
After experimenting with nearly
every known food of this nature, says
correspondent of Orange Judd
Farmer, I have found this to be one OF
the best: Wheat bran two parts by
measure, corn and cob meal one part,
gluten meal one part. Mix and give
four to five quarts twice day to each
cow giving full flow of milk; less to
those partially dry. Plan to feed ac-
cording to the individual and not by
any set rule.
Since so large proportion OF all
milk is water, provide an adequate
supply, and see that it is pure and
wholesome. A, cow should never be
required to drink water that human
being would refuse. Salt is essential
but should be given by itself, allowing
each animal to be it's own Judge of the
quantity to be consumed.

Minneapolis Tribune: One more
session Of congress like that just closed
would bring the Republican party
dangerously near its finish. This ses-
sion has accomplis ished nothing OF much
but the biggest appropria-
tion in the history of the country and
an immigration bill whose value is to
be tested by experience. Even that
measure would not have been passed
but for the crisis created by the Califor-
MAI Japanese incident. The expendi.
lures authorized approach q billion dol
lars and include increase Of pay for q
large number of public servants, in
cluding members of congress them

Dairy Record: Up at Hinckley,
Minn., there was private, local cream
cry doing q fair business in spite of
fierce competitor with the centralizers
in Duluth and the twin cities. The
creamery burned down the other day
and the very next morning, so Mr..
Knickerbocker, one of the pr0prietors,
tells us, the price of cream dropped
three cents per pound for butter fat.
Farmers shipping away their cream in
stead of patronizing the local creamery
should stop and consider what is surely
coming to them the minute the local
creamery shuts its doors. Only by sup.
porting and patroniZing their local,
preft rably cooperative creamery, can
the farmer insure for himself square
deal in the disposal of his dairy pro-
ducts.

Which?

Many thoughtful people have
come to the conclusion that the gov
eminent must either control, or at
least restrict the powers of corpora
tons, or itself become creature of
the corporations. People who are
not profting by corporate interests
will not hesitate to say that the gen.
eral government should not be DOM
mated by the corporations which it
has fostered until many of them
have become SO strong as to ques-
ton the right of the people to pro-
tect themselves against the en-
croachments of corporate greed.
The large trusts are strenuously re-
sisting every attempt of the govern
ment to keep them within the
bounds of reason equity, and in so
doing are emphasizing the necessity
of government restriction as a
means or protecting the common
people in their equitable rights,
which should be held paramount to
selfish private interests.

Tariff Revision.

The Republican party entered the
Presidential campaign of 1904
squarely committed to a revision of
the tariff. Though the party has
the chief executive and good work
ing majority in both houses of Con-
gress, its promise to revise the tar
if has thus far been ignored. In
the meantime the tariff revision SEN
timent has been steadily increasing
until thorough oyerhauling of the
tariff schedule will soon be abso-
lutely demanded by the people. 1t
will be the part of good politics for
the big Republican politicians both
in and out of Congress to recognize
the existence of this popular de-
mand, and let their actions be gov
erned accordingly. There is a very
prevalent idea that the gigantic
trusts which are becoming SO dicta-
torial and oppressive are being fos-
tered by the existing tariff, and this
proposition tends to give momentum
to the tariff revision sentiment
which will surely make itself con-
spicuous in the campaign of 1908.

The Waning Hardwood Forest
Supply.

Although the demand for hard
wood lumber is greater than ever
before the annual cut to-day is a
billion feet less than it was seven
years ago. In this time the whole
sale price of the different classes of
hardwood lumber advanced from
25 to IS per cent. The cut of oak,
which in 1899 was more than half
the total cut of hardwoods, has eall-
en- off So per cent. Yellow poplar,
which was formerly second in point
of output, has fallen off SO per cent,
and elm has fallen off one-half.
The cut of softwoods is over four
times that of hardwoods, yet it is
doubtful if shortage in the former
would cause dismay in so many in
industries. The cooperage, furni-
ture, and vehicle industries depend
upon hardwood timber, and the rail-
roads, telephone and telegraph COM
panies, agricultural implement man
ufacturers, and builders use it ex-
tensively.
This leads to the question, Where
is the future supply of hardwoods
to be found? The cut in Ohio and
Indiana, which, seven years ago, led
all other states, has fallen off one
half. Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas, West
Virginia, and Wisconsin have also
declined in hardwood production.
The chief centers of production now
lie in the Lake States, the lower
Mississippi Valley, and the Appala-
chan Mountains. Yet in the Lake
States the presence of hardwoods is
an almost certain indication of rich
agricultural land, and when the
hardwoods are cut the land is turn
ed permanently to agricultural use.
In Arkansas, Louisiana, and MissiS-
sippi the production of hardwoods
is clearly at its extreme height, and
in Missouri and Texas it has already
begun to decline.
The answer to the question, there
fore, would seem to lie in the Appa-
lachian Mountains. They contain
the largest body of hardwood tim
Der left in the United States. On
them grow the greatest variety of
tree species anywhere to be found.
Protected from fire and reckless
cutting, they produce the best kinds
of timber, since their soil and climate
combine to make heavy stands and
rapid growth. Yet much of the
Appalachian forest has been SO
dam aged in the past that it will be
years before it will again reach a
high state of productiveness. Twen-
ty billion feet of hardwoods would
be a conservative estimate of the
annual productive capacity of the
$4,000, 900 acres of forest lands in
the Appalachians if they were right
ly managed. Until they are we can
expect a shortage in hardwood tim
