Feeding Grain 10 Dairy
Cows.

A great many questions ara
asked this time Of year - two
whether it pays to feed grain 10
COWS while at pasture. It is q
fact that q larger amount of milk
can be secured from q COW If she
is ted a little grain while on pas
ture, but the question is, will the
increase in milk flow pay for the
amount Of grain fed.
As long asthe cows producing
not over a pound OF butter per
day it is possible for the neces-
sary food to be secured from the
pasture. 1t can not be expected
that any COW will produce one
and one half to two pounds of
butter per day on pasture alone.
II the COWS freshen in the spring,
then during their full dow Of milk
produce as much as the amount
stated above, IL would be the pro,
per thing to feed a little grain
while at pasture but IL they fresh-
en- in the fall they would be
too far along in their milking
period 10 increase the aow Of milk
enough 20 ~ % warrant the fsed-
ing Of grain. In case there is
not plenty Of pasture it will al-
ways pay TO feed something 10
keep up the milk flow. For this
purpose other green feed might
be obtained which would be
cheaper than the green and will
give the same results with the
ordinary COWS. However ifother
green feed is not available then ID
win pay to feed grain rather than
to allow the milk production to
decline for the lack of food,
When grain is requiredit it is found
that corn can be used as the prin.
cipal feed. II the corn is fed not
to exceed four or Ave pounds per
day in addition to pasture, it is,
as effective as any other grain.
but when more than this amount
of grain is needed it would be
well to use other feeds in addition
to corn, such as, bran, oats, oil-
meal and other common feeds.
One result Of feeding grain to-
COWS while at pasture which is
often overlooked, is that cows
which have been so fed do not.
decline as rapidly in milk pro-
duction during a period Of short
pasture. This result simply
shows that the animals which
have been fed grain. while on paa-.
ture have accumulated surplus
material on the body which may
be drawn upon and used ior pro-
ducing milk during periods Of
short feed.

How TO Vote AZ the County
Primary.

But one ticket will be furnish
ed to the voter. He must make
his selections on that. II viii be
necessary for him to remember
that this is q contest between
men of the same, and not men of
different parties, and that II he
mixes his ticket with names of
candidates on other tickets 1t will
not count for those particular
persons.
Eleven days from this day the
primary will take place and the
first anxiety viii be over. There
will be q large number Of disap-
pointed candidates and . limited
number of pleased ones, as out Of
the fifty-odd men that are aspir-
ing on the county and district
ticket alone, only about fourteen
will meet with the fruition of their
hopes.
Inquiries are being made every
day relative to the operation of
the general primary law under
which the voter will exercise his
franchise this year, therefore 1t
will not be inadyisable to give
the intent and meaning of the
law in order that mistakes may
not be made by the voters.
1t should be distinctly UNDER
stood that at the primaries the
contest is between men Of the
same party, and not between men
of different parties. Republicans
must vote for Republicans on a
Republican ticket and thereby
choose candidates for the Novem-
Der election.
Each voter on going to vote viii
get but one ticket, instead Of fget-
ting q hatfull Of tickets, as at the
NovembayEeiastions If he calls
for a Democratic tick ct they give
him that only, and If he calls FOR
a Republican ticket they give
him that only.
II there are more candidates
than one running for the same
office, the voter must scratch all
but one, leaving his choice for
that office unscrstched. Or, he
may scratch out all Of the printed
names under any Office and with
the pencil write in the name Of
any man he wishes to vote for
instead of the name scratched
out.
But If he writes in the name Of
a Republican on a Democratic
ticket it will not help the Repu-
bhcan about getting on the Re-
publican ticket, but gives him
one vote in favor Of putting him
on the Democratic ticket. Like
wise. il the name of a Democrat
be written on Republican ticket
it viii not help the Democrat
about getting on the Democratic
ticket, but gives him one vote in
favor of putting him on the Re-
publican ticket.
So all see that it will do nc
good whatever for Democrats TO
scratch Democrats and vote for
Republicans at the August pri-
mary, OF for Republicans to
scratch candidates Of their party
and vote for Democrats at such
election.
II scratching across party lines
must be done, let 1t be done al
the November election, where i
viii count something.
| No person will be allowed to
! vote at the primary who is not q
qualified voter. That is, he must
be male citizen OF the United
States and if Of foreign birth
i must have declared his intention
20 become a citizen not less thar
| one year nor more than Ave be.
