Tho Abbot Of Fools.

The abbot Of fools. who was also
known In different parts as the arch
bishop or bishop Of fools, the abbot OF
misrule. the lord Of misrule. the mas
ter of unreason and Liable de Liesse,
was the person who used to supertn'
tend the saturnalIa which were COM
mon In different parts Of Europe from
the fifth to the sixteenth century. The
feast of fools was an imitation Of the
heather saturnalia and. like this, was
celebrated in December; hence the con-
fusion Of ideas which has arisen In
mixing this feast with the ordinary
Christmas revels. The chief celebra-
ton Of the feast Of fools fell upon In
nocents' day. but the whole revels last

Balanced Ration for Milk Cows.

w. D. B., Pulaski, N. Y, writes:
Will DR.. Smead please give me balanc-
cd ration for milk cows of about 1000
pounds weight? I have to buy all my
feed. Wheat feed, cotton and oil meal,
cornmeal, etc., are available with US.
NV COWS are in good flesh. I have good
mixed timothy and clover hay, but no
ensilage.
With timothy and clover hay as rough
age, your grain feeds need to be quite
largely of the protein order. Thus,
cornmeal cannot be used to any large
extent. Wheat feeds of all kinds, from
wheat bran up or down, are above in
price what they are actually worth in
feeding value. They are good, but are
overestimated in value In feeding to
dairy COW. Cottonseed can't be safely
fed without it is fed with a laxative
food, like ensilsge, or mixed with lin'
seed oil meal, which, il we mix equally,
oyercomes that to an extent, allowing
that the cottonseed meal Is fresh ground
and free from fungous growths that de.
velop in cottonseeds sometimes. Old
black cottonseed is never safe to feed at
all. But even allowing 1t to be OF the
best quality, when mixed with the lin
seed, the mixture is quite too concentrat'
ed and rich in protein to feed safely only
when mixed with foods more bulky and
less rich In protein, like wheat bran,
equally by weight or with dried brew
ers' grains. Therefore, situated as you
are, / should advise that you buy linseed
oil meal and mix equally by weight with
the wheat bran, and feed about three
fourths of pound of the mixture to
hundred pound weight of corn every
twenty.four hours 10 two feeds. II
might be cheaper for You as you are
situated to buy some of the mixed feeds
that are standard feeds, like the banner
dairy feed, which know to be an honest
feed and cheap for the protein It CON
