weekly weights of the COWS and by
direct observation.
The cows were turned to pasture at
the close of the winter period, May -,
and the grain feed reduced; silage or
hay were fed after that date last year.
At the time the pastures began to dry
up they were supplemented by green
corn fed in the barn and later on by
corn silage. Similar quantities OF
soiling crops were fed as of silage,
viz, 20 to 80 pounds per head daily
on the average; more or less grain be-
ing fed through the summer in the
case of nearly all the COWS.
The accompanying table contains a
list of the COWS which completed a
years record on May y, 1908, and
shows for each COW the live weight
the cost of the feed, the milk and but
ter fat produced, the value of the prod
ucts, and the net profit over and above
the cost of the feed eaten. The COWS
are arranged in the table in the Or
der of decreasing net profits for the
year.
The following schedule of prices has
been used in calculating the cost Of
the feeds fed and in determining the
value of the products. The prices of
feeds given may be considered aver
age market prices for Wisconsin, and
are in accord with the prices assumed
by the herd. The amount of butter

amounts of concentrates fed. The
grain and the roughage eaten by each
COW were weighed out at every feed
ing and a careful record kept of the
amounts. These were charged on our
record book to the respective COWS
opposite their weekly production of
milk and butter fat, as determined by
separate Weighings of each milking
and testing a composite sample of the
milk produced by each COW during
the week The COWS were carefully
watched to see that they ate with
keen appetites. If they did not clean
up their feed readily, it was reduced
in quantity or varied as to kinds fed,
SO as to make certain that they were
always in a thrifty condition and did
not get off feed A possible tendency
towards fattening which is common
in COWS of less pronounced inherent
dairy temperamentS, was guarded
against by changing the character of
the rations fed whenever such a ten
dency was made apparent by the

tiary would not be afraid to meet him

long since passed their zenith of devel-

By appointment Mr.. Moxey is a ma
tional bank examiner, but he does moth
ing except investigate banks that have
failed under suspicious circumstances
And catching a banker who has robbed
his own bank is in some respects like
catching a burglar who has robbed it
each has only a limited number of
ways of committing the crime. In the
case of the burglar the policeman
on the beat looks first at the doors
and windows as being the most prob
able means of gaining access to the
vault. And for a like reason, Mr..
MoXey looks first at the loans and dis
counts.
If the books and papers of a crook
ed banker have not been destroyed"
says Mr. MoXey, they are bound to
show him up. They may be falsified.
and they may be cunningly compli-
unraveled. 1t is all a matter of time.
The record of crime is tEere-no man
can keep the affairs of bank in his
head. All that is necessary is to find
the knots and unite them. Why, | in
Vestigated a bank a little while ago
in which three little pencil dots-al-
most ceptible-placed before GER
tain items, both in the debit and credit
accounts, gave me the key to the
whole affair. l discovered that items
thus marked We're to be disregarded,
not added to the totals
But the investigation of a crooked
bank seldom ends with the scrutiniz-
ing of the concerns xecords. The
crooked banker, so Mr.. Moxey has OBJ
served, has a way of becoming DOM
inantly identified with many other in
terests. This is why he acquires
string of banks--to bring in the
money that he wants to use for some
thing else. In working up the case
against John r. Walsh of Chicago, Mr..
MoXey examined the books of IS cor
pOratiOns.
Strangely enough, this man whose
work has brought him so closely into
relationship with dishonest bankers,
seldom speaks to one of them.
Sometimes said he, "a banker that
l have caught will come to me and
confess everything; sometimes he will
declare only that he meant no wrong
But more frequently they do not seek
me, and, of course, | do not seek them
l never spoke to John r. Walsh. I
never spoke to Morse. But l don't
need to speak with them to know what
kind of men they are. Their books
tell"
Mr.. Moxey does not regard Morse as
a great criminal. except in the sense
that he committed his crimes on a big
scale. He says he showed no unusual
cleverness in what he did, and his de
wees for covering up his crookednesz
we're the same old tricks that are usu-
ally employed.

meal. distillers' grains, oats, oil meal
and brewers grains, the first three be-
ing fed throughout the period, and the
others at times in smaller quantities.
The standard grain mixture fed dur
ing the past year was made up of
wheat bran, corn meal and distillers
grains. in the proportion of 3:4:3, the
nutritive ratio of the mixture being
1:4.6. The general practice followed
was TO feed as many pounds of grain
daily per COW as she produced pounds
of butter fat during the week. i. e.
seven times as much grain as the
amount of fat produced daily tor one
quarter to one-third as much grain as
the amount of milk given, according to
its quality. The cows received in adj
dition to this allowance of concen-
trates, as much silage and hay as
they could eat up clean, the amounts
eaten varying according with the feed
ing capacity of the different cows, 25
to 10 pounds of silage and four to six
pounds Of hay being the usual
amounts eaten daily.
The nutritive ratios of the entire
winter rations made up as described,
ranged from 1853 to S.S, according

The boy says that when he left
home it was with a determination TO
convince his father that he could do
better if allowed to have his own way
in the matter of trading than by spend
all of his time filling the soil. His first
few days were of a strenuous nature.
Being without funds, he felt the pangs
of hunger many times, but after trav-
cling several days he met FREQ FOs-
ter, a lumberman and cattle dealer of
Warner, n. H., who gave him a job
driving cattle from place to place and
allowed him to trade on his own ac-
count. For his first weeks wages he
took a yearling heifer, and before he
reached the next town he had traded
it for carriage. The carriage was
hitched behind the team that followed
the cattle, and was sold before he had
gone five miles further for about four
times what the heifer cost him. This
was the beginning Of his trading after
he left home, and he continued to
trade until he thought he had enough
to convince his father that he knew
his business. Mr.. Ovens says he is
convinced. The trip took nearly
week, and the boy says they averaged
IS miles a day.

Popular Demand for Basketball
In Form of Scholastic League
Voiced by -Four High Schools

Students of the high schools have,
for the past week, been agitating the
question Of organized basketball in the
form of q scholastic league.
This is a live wire issue with all OF
the indoor athletes. anc although it has
not yet been passed upon the promoters
of this sport at the various schools are
confident that the pastime will be adopt
ed. They are. loud in the praise of the
beneficial results which the game al
fords, and also voice the opinion that
the sport viii be supported this season
even better than last. which was a ban
ner year in this respect.
Central is the only school which will
not have a team. This announcement
was made because or the interference
of this sport with the track work which
always dominates at the o street insti-
tuition. Trainer Foley, who handles the
track men at Central, Is adverse to the
new sport for the runners, and says
that training in both branches is not
practicable.
At the other schools the sport is on
the boom. Business has all OF its last
years team on hand.
