A number of students at college

examination in philosophy. Each one
of them was supposed to be especially

subject, so each was called upon in
turn to enlighten his fellows on that
branch. Thus the man who knew all

upon them, and the Plato expert held

Leibnitz man and the Fichte man all

It is believed the army medical corps

They are trained to all the arts of

Army officers are already discuss

The most reasonable objection urged
is the question of being able to mount
nurses where every available horse

FEEDING THE COW.

The COWS should be fed literally.
1t will be found profitable to feed
a small grain ration during the sum
mer. 1t not only helps them to keep
UP the fow of milk, but they come
into winter quarters in better con.
dition, do not dry up so quickly and
come out the next spring able to do
more work. Much, however, deDends
on the cows and the feed.
1t is claimed that this additional
feed in summer to the pasture is bet
ter for the manure and, besides,
gives superior milk and more of it.
{ An extensive dairyman says that
for twenty years his cows have had
dry hay before them every time
they were put in to be milked. which
was twice day, and those cows
would eat some of the dry hay.
This question of feeding grain or
hay in the summer time is a very
important one Professor San
born, of New Hampshire, some years
ago, made the experiment and found
that one pound of hay was equivalent
to one pound of grain for feeding his
COWS in the summer time on fresh
pasture.
An old western dairyman once said
that the most slovenly way of feed
ing a COW is to let her go to pas
ture; that she destroys more than
she will eat and if a man is using
very much fine pasture, especially on
high priced land, he is using it to
great disadvantage He said he
could better afford to grow crop
and feed it to the COW, so there would
be no waste.
1t is important with silage and
soiling crops to feed some dry hay
as we'll as grain through the sum-
mer for the effect that it has on the
digestive tract.
A speaker before a dairymen's as
ISOLATION said that some years back
he began feeding the cows grain in
the summer time and dry hay every
time they were being MIXED. He
came to do it by having had lot
of background up corn and oats
mixed with bran-that he was feed
ing the cows, and after he turned
them out to grass he thought he
would use up what feed he had left.
He noticed that the more cornmeal
there was in the mixture the better
the cows liked it. They did not seem
to care for bran, probably as they
had plenty of protein. The next year
he fed hay and cornmeal and oats
and had an increase of fifty pounds
OF butter over the product of the
previcss year.-'Weekly Witness.

FARM NOTES.

Do not value a dairy COW accord
ing to how she pleases the eye and
then judge her by the standard of
the beef animal.
We often hear that there Is going
to be an over-production in the dairy
industry, but prices just Keep on go
ing up for products of good grade
If an industry in which the reward
is staple is desired, get into dairy
ing. The prices Of dairy products
vary but little, and bears cannot cheat
the producer out of what rightfully
belongs to him.
The consumption Of milk, cream
and butter per person is yearly grow
ing, and as cleaner dairy methods
and better grades of dairy products
become more common, the consump
ton will still keep increasing.
Many cows have been sacrificed be-
cause they did not breed, when the
real trouble was that they we're not
in good health, and the services Of

have put her in good health and
made her breed.
At Pasadena, California, a goat
dairy has been started. That city is
the home of exclusive millionaires;
and it is thought that goat milk, as
being more healthful, will be in bet
ter demand than COW milk. The goat
is often called the poor mans cow,
but this California enterprise makes
the goat the millionaire's COW.
Short rations must result in short
profits, since a cow must have a
certain amount of feed to keep her
in thrifty condition. What food she
can digest after that is the part that
brings in the cash or makes the milk.
While a beef COW may make flesh
of this extra part of the feed, the
true dairy COW will make milk OF
