quiry. | will endeavor, however, to
throw some light on the subject by
suggesting some ratiOnS containing
'the different hays mentioned.
According to our best authorities on
feeding, COW yielding rs pounds OF
milk per day requires about 2.5 pounds
protein, 13 pounds carbohydrates and
5 pound Nof fat. This is a safe guide
and in compromising rations from diff
ferent feeds we take into cOnsidera-
ton their nutritive values in order
that we may secure the required
amounts of the substances mentioned.
This we term a balanced ration.
A daily ration of 80 pounds of clover
hay, seven pounds of bran would sup
ply the required nutriments at a cost
of about &c cents per day, but has the
disadvantage of not Supplying any sue
culent feed. A much better ration
could be fed with the addition of pea
and oat silage. The following is sug-
gested: 40 pounds pea and oat silage,
IL pounds clover hay, seven pounds
bran.
A ration much better than the first,
and should not cost over 81 cents per
day. Where roots can be grown prof
itably, the ration might be improved
by slightly reducing the amount of en-
silage and adding 10 or Is pounds OF
roots to the ration. While oat hay is
not considered an ideal feed for a
dairy COW, it may seem advisable to
use it in the ration at times. If both
clover and oat hay are to be fed,
fairly good ration could be had by
substituting Is pounds of clover hay
in the first ration given with an equal

and would like if you would publish
what would be a balanced ration for
each of these kinds of hay: clover
hay oat hay cut in milk, mixed grass
hay. Cows in different periods OF
lactation. - j. A. Morris, Odessa,
Wash.
Ans.-The inquirer does not state
the kinds of concentrates at hand, that
is, the mill feeds that he has to go
with the hay, so the writer will use
the best varieties that are on the mar
ket in this state for the purpose. A
desirable mixture to go with the clo-
yer hay and the oat hay would be
ground barley, bran and oil meal in
about the following proportions: 1
part barley, 1 part bran and one-quar-
ter part oil meal; of such mixture feed
one pound for every 8 to 3.5 pounds
of milk produced. With the mixed
grasses would recommend emitting
the barley and make the mixture B
parts of shorts and 1 part of oil meal,
and feed as stated.-H. l.. Blanchard
1t would be impossible to give any
definite information regarding rations
for dairy COWS without more informa-
ton than is given in the above in

BUTTER MOISTURE.

AS one calls at the various retail
butter stores of this state he will no.
tice that a considerable portion OF
the goods offered for sale bears Ia
bel assigning it to the class known to
the trade as "Iowa butter" Iowa
needs education along. the lines OF
proper dairying, as it produces nearly
10O,0000O0 pounds of butter year,
and has but two inspectors of diaries
and instructors in the industry. The
state dairy association is hoping for
greater recognition from the legisla-
ture.
AS a result of present inspection
conditions Iowa butter is of quite a
variable character. B. D. White, the
United States creamery expert, as
serts that Iowa, Minnesota and Wis
consin creameries sustain an annual
loss of over 100000 by reason of
short overruns; that is, the butter
from many. of these factories could
have contained larger percentage
of water, thus adding to it's weight,
and still keeping within the limits
prescribed by law. On the other hand,
Special Agent Evans of the internal
revenue department has been investi-
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-03-01

eating Iowa creameries and has found
much butter that exceeds the legal
limits as to moisture content, thus
giving an excess of overrun, with
corresponding overweight of product
The internal revenue officers are kept
busy inspecting the lots of butter as
received by dealers. The limit al
lowed for moisture content Is 16 per
cent, and all containing more than
that is classed as "adulterated," and
prosecutions are liable to follow.
The writer is acquainted with
prominent dairy writer and Instructor
at Institutes and other meetings, who
is also president of a creamery asso-
citation. He frequently urged an in
crease of the butter moisture, until
finally some good New York orders to
that creamery were cancelled. 1t was
currently reported that the percentage
of moisture was found to be 23-skid-
doc. A government inspector entered
a complaint, fine was laid, and then
things were different.
A proper percentage of water is es-
sential to secure equity between pro-
ducers as we'll as to attain proper
conditions for handling and use by
dealers and consumers. That percent
age should be very closely adhered to
by producers. State inspection and
monthly scoring contests have proved
very beneficial elsewhere in promot-
ing uniformity of product and in Sc
curing higher average quality of but
ter.

Gulf Fish.

The Pensacola News has the follow
ing relative to the fishing industry of
that port. Our fish dealers have thus
far not been able to secure near
enough fish to fill their orders. Their
market is in the smaller cities of
Alabama and Georgia which take a
large amount of fish in the aggregate.
although the catch of fish by YES
sells owned by local concerns has been
unusually large this season, the de-
mand has been light for some time
past and as consequence large guam
titles of fish have been sent north to
be frozen and held in cold storage
until the demand again reaches nor
NAL. The price of fish has dropped
considerably during the past few
months, the last quotation from New
York being to cents per pound for
red snappers, with scarcely any
demand. Although the local concerns
do not ship fish to the New York
market, they compete to a GER
tain extent with New York houses
in northern territory, and to that ex-
tent, suffer from the low prices which
at present obtain in the eastern me-
tropolis.
The recent failure of A. Booth &
Co., the big Chicago fish dealers, has
had marked effect upon gulf coast
shipments, as this concern handled
all varities of gulf fish in large guam
titles. and at this season, when the
fish were plentiful, had large quanti-
ties frozen for the winter market.
All of the smacks arriving from the
banks report good catches and, so
far, the supply has been kept NOV

mand."

The Fishing Smack Hampstead.

The fishing smack E. Hampstead
owned by the Gulf Trading Co., of
Carabelle, has been purchased by
our townsman, E. I. Matthews, and
was brought here by Capt. Adolph L..
Frietsch, the first of the week.
The boat will now hail from this
port, and be in command of Capt.
Frietsch, "The Lone Mariner" who
with a crew of FIVE men will be en-
gagged in deep sea fishing, the boat
being fitted out for that purpose. 1t
is of 19 tons burthen, so feet in length
and II feet beam.
Capt. Frietsch has had a varied ca

nents have had columns filled with
his remarkable adventures in sailing
alone in small boats on the different
oceans, and the Great Lakes. He
has scrap book filled with clippings
relative to these voyages from var
ious papers, intermingled with poems
and music of his own composition.
The captain was born in Finland,
of Swedish parents, and has followed
the sea nearly all his life. In 1894 he
sailed alone in the little schooner
Nina from New York to Queenstown
in "a days. In 1899 in the little
schooner Coke he sailed from San
Francisco to Honolulu in 26 days
Another remarkable trip was his
crossing Lake Michigan in the dead
of Winter in II foot boat.
The captain states that he has not
found in all his wanderings over the
globe any place that suits him better
than lovely st Andrews Bay, and he
plans now upon making this his future

ma City at 2.15 p. M, arriving at
Cottondale at sos p. M, and Dothan
at 6.55 p. m.
Train No leaves Panama City at
7. a. m. instead of $50 as at present
scheduled. This train reaches Cot

1870 p, n. Returning this train
leaves Dothan at $50 p. M, reaching
Cottondale at sos p. M, and Panama

This schedule seems to favor con-
nections with the L. & n. at Cotton
dale, but breaks the present close
connections at Dothan with the At

Election Returns at
Y. N. {. A. fOni0ht

Big preparations are being made for
the receiving of election returns at
the Y M. c. A. building tonight and
the evening will be made one of gem
eral festivity at that place.
The returns will be thrown on a
screen in the auditorium, just at the
head of the main stairway on the sec
ond floor, and everyone is invited to
drop in, and everyone will be well
come. A special leased wire will fur
nish the report and the returns re-
ceived will be as good as any in town.
The whole building will be thrown
open and when the watchers tire of
waiting for returns, they will find
basketball game in the gymnasium or
handball in the handball court. Stunts
of some kind will be pulled off until
a late hour.
Between times, while waiting for
reports over the wire, interesting pict-
ures will be thrown on the screen, but
these will in no way be allowed to in
terfere with the prompt and full re-
turns. 1t is a place where everyone
will be welcomed.

either offered or taken. Considerable
money on Taft at three to one has been
covered by local Bryan men. who,
however, shy at two TO one offers.
Many bets have been made on Will
llams and Lyons for county clerk at
even money, while Cox at ten to seven
is proving attractive to many suppor-
ters of Clodius.
Another favorite bet is on the state
of Washington. Several bets were talk
en- that Washington would not give
$4,000 majority for Taft but later on
the figures We're chopped down and the
prevailing bet at noon was on a 25,CJO
majority basis.
The town is at fever heat awaiting
the result of the general election and
the probabilities are that the streets
will be thronged tonight with peopl'
anxious to secure the returns. Owing
to the difference in time, 1t Is pe-
lieved that the result in New York
will be known by Z or o'clock tonight,
as the prevailing opinion is that as
New York goes, SO goes the nation.
Increase at Noon.
Shortly after noon voters turned out
in full force, and in the precincts
where the heavier registration was re-
corded, the booths were kept filled and
the election officers had all they couic
do to care for the influx. Up to 2
o'clock about 40 per cent of the total
registration in the city precincts had
been cast, with voters still much in
evidence
