WHEAT BRAN.
Practical Advice on Cheapenina the
Ration For the Cow


Ration For the Cow.
One of the best known milling by
products and one which has long been
recognized as valuable feeding stuff
is wheat bran. OF this material J. Il.
Lindsey of the Massachusetts expert
ment station says:
Until comparatively recent times
wheat bran and cornmeal have formed
the two staple concentrated feeds for
dairy stock. and in spite of the large
variety of concentrates now in the
market the former still continues to be
used by the majority of dairymen in
. eastern states. The reasons for this are
not difficult to find. A good quality of
4 bran is uniformly palatable: it can be
4 fed in &C A,derable quantities without
II producing |ny i'll effects; it acts as
u slight laxative: it furnishes more di-
q gestible protein than corn, and it serves
as very satisfactory diluter or dis.
Atributer of the heavy concentrates such
las the glutens, cottonseed meal and
flour middlings.
# Home Grown Corn a Substitute.
# Lindsey believes, however, that the
nutritive material contained in bran
may be purchased more cheaply in 9th
er concentrated feeds and that New
England farmers especially often use
more bran than economy warrants. AS
ia practical result from experiments to
81 find cheaper rations for milk cows than
those containing large amounts of
bran, Professor Lindsey suggests:
Farmers who keep comparatively
small herds and who personally look
after the feeding may reduce the guam
tity of purchased grain to three or four
pounds daily per head and substitute
home grown corn in place of wheat
bran. Five to seven pounds of grain
daily is the usual allowance for cows
producing about ten quarts of milk of
average quality. This grain mixture
may consist of one and one-half pounds
of cottonseed meal. two pounds of -four
middlings and two and one-half to
three pounds of corn or corn and
cob meal daily or one and one-half
pounds of cottonseed meal, two pounds
of oat middlings or rye feed and two
and one-half to three pounds of corn
meal. Malt sprouts may be substitut-
ed for the wheat. oat or rye middlings.
The several grains after being mixed
should be distributed through the silage
or cut hay with the aid of fork.
According to the Farmer.
The foregoing method of feeding will
enable the farmer to get along with a
minimum cash outlay for grain (415
cents daily, and at the same time he
will be supplying Il well balanced ra-
ton, rich in elements of fertility. The
method will be more particularly suit
ed to farmers not having easy trans
portation facilities and who sell their
dairy products to the creamery.
Farmers and dairymen who cannot
closely supervise the feeding and who
desire to feed more than five to seven
pounds of grain daily will probably
find it advisable to use one third to one
half wheat bran in compromising the
grain mixture. Distillers' grains and
malt sprouts have also been shown to
be quite satisfactory distributors of the
heavy concentrates.

The Scandinavian population of
Minnesota is one-third OF the popu.a-
ton OF the entire state. The total
vote OF the state in 1900 was S17,-
600 and out OF this vote Mckinley
got a plurality OF 1900 votes, or
"a per cent OF the total vote. A
change OF one-half OF this plurality
would have tied the vote. IL can
be safely estimated that the Scandi-
navian east more than one-third of
the total vote and a "fop" of half
OF those who voted for Mckinley
would have more than offset the Re-
publican plurality in that election.
That this would have been the case
II Mckinley had had a Scandinavian
opponent Is argued by some from the
defeat by Governor Johnson of the
Republican candidate for governor
In the year OF the Roosevelt land
side and Johnson's reelection two
years later by a largely increased
majority.
Similar yesults might be looked
for I'm Nebraska, North and South
Dakota, Utah and Washington,
which with Minnesota have a total
of 35 electoral votes. Other states,
such as Wisconsin and Illinois,
which are naturally Republican
might have 10 be put in the doubtful

with the floral decorations and rich

soft music of McElroys orchestra
gave the appearance of a veritable
fairyland. The dining room, where
tea was served at tables presided
over by Mrs. B. o. Schucking and
Mrs. Charles McNary was darkened,
and effectively decorated with yell
low buttercups, and yellow labur-
man. Purple and white lilacs were
the decorations in the parlor. IN the
music room red predominated, and
the effect was carried out
with red tulips. In a corner
OF this room, festooned with
white towering vine. punch was
served by Miss Gertrude Grey, of
Seattle, and Miss Winifred Byrd.
