Feeding Milk Cows.

Milk contains water, fat, protein
(casein and curd, sugar and ash, and
these are all made from the constitu-
ents of the food If sufficient protein,
fat and carbohydrates are not con-
tanned In the food given her, the cow
supplies this deficiency for a time by
drawing on her own body, and gradu-
ally begins to shrink in quantity and
quality of milk, or both. The stingy
feeder cheats himself as well as the
COW. She may suffer from hunger,
although she Is full of swale and hay,
but she also becomes poor and does
not yield the milk and butter she
should Her milk glands are a wond-
erful machine, but they cannot make
milk casein (curd) out of the constitu-
ents in coarse, unappetizing, 1ndiges-
tible swale hay or sawdust any more
than the farmer himself can make but
ter from skim milk. She must not
only have generous supply of good
food, but it must contain sufficient
amounts of the nutrients needed for
making milk Until this fact is I'M
derstood and appreciated, successful,
profitable dairying is out Of the ques-
ton. Many forcible illustrations of its
truthfulness have been furnished by
the agricultural experiment stations

Faith makes a fold bigotry fence.
The double-minded are but half-wit-

Peace is the power gained through

No pleasure comes from playing

No good is any good unless it is
soon outgrown.
You can usually tell a mans size
by what he sees.
Your imaginary wrongs cannot Gov
err your real wrongdoing.
An ideal too heavy becomes a drag
instead of an inspiration.
The man who does not have an up
hill fight is going down hill.
The surest, swiftest way Of being
damned is to do nothing.
IT'S no use wasting blows on the
man who is afraid of being hurt.
You get mush instead Of men when

It's no use signing for a chance TO

Out of deep sorrows come high pow
ers to comfort and strengthen.
Idleness makes the hours Wearlly
long and the days woefully snort.
The mark of a heavenly blessing is
that it ignores our earthly bounda-

He can never know any deep JOY
who can laugh at the sorrows or an

HOW 1t Feels to BE Shot.

An infantry soldier at Gaines Mill,
who was hit in the knee by a bullet
and ultimately died of his wound
said he thought he had run against a
standing thistle.
When felt at all, bullets through the
flesh usually produce burning sensa-
ton more or less acute. When bones
are broken singing accompanies the
burning. When bones are hit, but not
broken, there is numbing sensation
in the shock followed very soon by
severe and sometimes intense pain.
When muscles and tendons are III
volved, there is a tugging sensation,
sometimes very slight, and shell
wounds produce feelings similar to
those by bullets, more or less exag-
gerated, according to the size Of the
missile and the degree Of velocity.
Bayonet wounds | never saw except
upon corpses-for I was not hospi-
tai attendant-and as for cannon
balls, they do not as rule, leave
anything behind to exhibit feelings.

Poultrymen estimate that it costs
cent apiece to produce an egg. The
estimate is based on the fact that the
hen lays 120 eggs in the year. In other
words, where the fowls are confined to
runs, and the feed must be purchased,
it costs 10 cents a month or $1.20
year to maintain a hen. If the hen is
an Indifferent layer and gives but sixty
eggs in year, her eggs cost the poul-
tryman cents each.
An experiment conducted by the Cor
nell experiment station in 1902 showed
that the average cost Of feed for a
dozen eggs was 90 cents, or about q
hen for the year was 99.6 cents. At
that time wheat was sold at $1.45 a
hundred pounds, while at the present
time it is So; bran sold at $1.35 hun
dred pounds and it Is now $3.50; and
meat scraps cost $215 a hundred
pounds and now we pay $40. So at
the present increased price of feed,
the cost of feeding the hen is easily
20 cents a year more than it was in
1902.
TO make poultry profitable on the
farm it is necessary to breed for bet
ter laying. This is done by installing
trap nests in the henhouses, and each
year picking out the best layers and
breeding only from such. The farmer
must grade up his stock. He must
get rid of the mongrel birds; he must
drive out the drones, and must encour-
age the workers. The farm must pro-
duce better poultry and more Of it.
There are advantages on the farm
for poultry raising that the poultry
man does not have, and If the latter,
in many ways handicapped, can make
poultry keeping a successful business,
the farmer should at least make the
work a valuable adjunct to his in
come. Properly managed poultry can
be made the most profitable crop on
the farm-fnvestment, expense and
labor considered.
1t is argued by some farmers that
their hens cost them practically moth
ing, as they have free range and can
gather all the food they need. There
| is some truth in that, and there also
| is some truth in the fact that farm
ers' f1ocks seldom yield a profit COM

Feeding Meal, Wet or Dry.

Many Of our farmers seem to hold
the opinion that feeding meal wet to
their cows will bring better results
than when fed dry. One old farmer
makes the remark, chow can the COW
get any goodness out of pan of dry
mealY yet Notwithstanding the fact
that so many dairymen hold to the
practice of feeding the meal wet, the
experiments to date indicate that bet
ter results are obtained by feeding
it dry. Professor Jordan, Of the Maine
Experiment Station, fed a bunch of
calves corn and cob meal with long
hay in dry form, as against hay which
was run through a feed cutter mois-
tened and sprinkled with corn and cob
meal. The results were in favor Of
the dry feeding The gain was great
err, and less feed was required for
100 pounds Of gain. Professor Jordan
also conducted an experiment with two
herds of dairy COWS, one herd was fed
dry feed, while the feed of the other
was moistened. The greater yield Of
milk was obtained from the herd that
received the dry feed.

to go around, but there are too many

ability could grow the very best calves

NitrO%en,

While visiting practical farmer a
few weeks ago he said that where
everything was fed out on the farm
and the manure returned to the soil it
should grow richer instead Of poorer
and that furthermore there was less
connected with the farm when it was
conducted ON these principles than
when the system was varied from year
to year.
One thing is certain, the growing
and feeding of live stock on the farms
compels the growth Of crops to feed
that are best adapted for the produc-
ton Of flesh and animal products
Prominent among these crops are Glow
er, alfalfa and the other nitrogen gath
ering plants that possess a high feed
ing value and are relished by animals
on account Of their palatability.
We cannot too often repeat the
fact that the farmers who follow a
short crop rotation, in which legume
is grown every third year, need not
worry about maintaining an adequate
supply Of nitrogen, providing he feeds
these crops to live stock and saves
the manure, both liquid and solid, and
returns it to the soil. When nitrogen
Gus grain foods are purchased and
fed to the animals in connection with
the home~gro foods the increase in
nitrogen is still greater.-Agricultur

Helping the Farmer.

In an important interview with Gift
ford Pinchot, the government forester,
and a member Of the Country Life
Commission, recently appointed by Mr.
Roosevelt, given to Edward l. Far
rington, the following points are elab-
Grated:
The things which the Country Life
Commission desires to do, above all
else, is to make the fact plain that
there is a tremendous problem before
the American farmer to-day.
The things which must be secured
for the farmer are better farming ma
terials, better business and better
living The commission is concerned
with the two latter.
Everything which has to do with
making farm life efficient and pleas
ant will receive particular attention,
for this is one of the most important
of all agricultural problems.
The commission will make no at
tempt to impose anything on the farm
er, to dictate to him, or to carry pa
ternalism to- an Objectionable degree.
The facts are to be assembled in as
complete form as possible and placed
before the farmer in logical order.
