KIND OF cows TO KEEP.
Raise Them Yourself and BE Sure Of
Their MlIk-Glving Capacity.

1t is not sufficient to have a certain
number of cows. They should be
adapted to the work-dairy cows, not
beef animals, that can only produce
sufficient milk to raise veal calf
Such cows are not the most profitable
ones to keep. Aim to raise your own
cows, then through selection and
breeding the producing capacity OF
your herd can be increased.

pense, cooperate with your neighbor
and purchase good dairy sire. The

Care should be taken not to feed

foods can only be fed Immediately
after milking, but it is better not to
feed such foods to dairy cows. II is

LIGHT OATS We. HEAVY OATS.
They Practically Have the Same Feed
inq Value Pound for Pound.

The weight Of oats per bushel varies
from 30 pounds to so and even 90
pounds in some of the western irrigat-
ed states. The office Of experiment
stations notes an experiment on three
pair of Percheron horses which were
fed light and heavy oats.
The practical results of this expert
ment seem to indicate that pound for
pound, the light oats have nearly the
same feeding value as the heavy oats.
Although the heavy oats contain a
higher percentage Of protein. and car
bohydrates and a less percentage Of
fiber than the light oats, 1t seems prob
able that the relative proportions Of
these constituents are such that they
are more easily and thoroughly d.
gested.
1t should be remembered that al
though the two grades are practically
equal, pound for pound, they are not
equal. quart for quart, and that in feed
ing by measure, as is usual, allowance
should be made for heavy oats and a
less portion given.
Since oats are bought and sold by
weight instead Of measure, there
seems to be no gain made In buying
the heavy oats at an advanced price
over the light oats.

Tunlc Effects,

Some of the new skirts for dressy
gowns have tunic effects. but rather
carried out by an upper skirt of trim
ming than by an upper skirt of ma
terial.
1t is more than probable that what
will succeed the present type of toilet
will in some form or other be the
tunic.
Such, at any rate, is the opinion of
many dressmakers, and were the tunic
boldly launched for dressy sort of a
winter toilette nobody in Paris would
be taken much by surprise, so 1t is
said.
Still this is more likely to be
brought out for very late rather than
the early winter. and for evening
rather than street wear.
