The cows were turned to pasture at
the close OF the winter period, May IL,
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 OF less grain be-
ing fed through the summer in the
case OF nearly all the cows.

nutritive ratio of the mixture being

was to feed as many pounds of grain

seven times as much grain as the

Ing except investigate banks that have
failed under suspicious circumstances
And catching banker who has robbed
his own bank is in some respects like
catching a burglar who has robbed 1t
each has only 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 like reason, Mr..
Moxey looks first at the loans and dis
counts.

show him up. They may be falsified,
and they may be cunningly compli-
Gated and mixed up, but they can be
unraveled. 1t is all a matter of time.
The record OF crime Is there-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

But the investigation of a crooked
bank seldom ends with the scrutiniz-
ing Of the concerns records. 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 a
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 1S cor
porations.
Strangely enough. this man whose
work has brought him SO closely into
relationship with dishonest bankers,
seldom speaks to one OF them.

I have caught will come to me and

Mr.. Moxey does not regard Morse as
great criminal, except In the sense
that he committed his crimes on a big
scale. He says he showed no unusual
clsverness In what he did. and his de-
vices for covering up his crookedness

The climax came when the whole

No porter responded, for the simple
reason that there was none; and after
madam had again cried, '"Pawtah!

than before, a good-natured drummer
near the door stepped up and. raising
his hat, asked If he could be of any
assistance. Giving him cold stare

demanded. Are you the pawtah?"
The drummer confessed that he
wasn't, but that every American man
was at the service of any lady in

"Oh. but I'd ever so much rather

ing response.

AS ] have sized up the situation, the
greatest barrier encountered by the
bigness of the Christian religion is
the smallness of human nature. Seems
to me that the Founder of Christianity
was done to death by provincials be-
cause he preached gospel too big for
his time. Ever since then his true rep
resentatives have been trying to pull
men and women out of their two-by-

view, deeper sympathy and longer
reach of a universal religion. The
spirit of provincialism and the spirit
of Christianity are deadly enemies.
