1t will also be noticed that our

any other cheap roughage, out Of

Editorial Answer: The feeds quot
ed are so high in price that there
will be difficulty in formulating a
ration that will furnish the necessary
nutrients for cow giving 25 pounds
OF milk day without making the
cost too high to allow of any profit
on the work
Let US first try a sample ration
with the three cheapest concentrates
quoted and the cheapest roughage
We can then use this sample as a
text for a few comments which may
enforce a lesson on the feeding Of
dairy cattle

WAY AHEAD OF AUTOMOBILE
Progress of Aviation Is One of Won
ders of Modern Human
Daring.

The development of the aeroplane
into a mechanism of practical utility
in the arts of peace and war is even
more rapid than was that of the auto
mobile in its early days.
1t seems only yesterday that the
Herald was chronicling the first strug-
CLING flights of a few yards. made by
M Santos Dumont and today we re-
cord the journey of nearly five hun
dred miles made by M Alfred LIE
Blanc within a period of less than II
hours.
1t is only a few weeks ago that the
first fight across the British channel
electrified the world. This was quick
ly followed by flight across and re-
turn, and now we have an American
aviator making the cross channel trip,
carrying as a passenger his burly
mechanician.
While the accident to Moissant's
machine mars the startling record he
promised to make between Paris and
London, his achievement is none the
less wonderful in it's promise of the
possibilities of aviation in the immedf-
ate future.
Development of the automobile from
a toy into it's present development was
stimulated by bringing the inventors
of the world into international com
petition by the offers of prizes and
honors. In like manner the aeroplane
has been improved, and is being per-
fected through the international emu
| lation of inventors and aviators- The
marvel of yesterday in flying has be-
| come the commonplace of today, and
nearly every issue of the Herald
chronicles some record-breaking feat
| of aviation.
The defiance of Mr.. Moissant of the
strong winds blowing on the English
channel and the fact that the contest
| ants in this long flight were ignorant
of the route and steered their way by
compass, brings aviation more nearly
| into line than ever before with actual
navigation Every day exhibits more
| advance in the science and the art OF
sailing the air, and he would be g
bold man who would dare to fix 9
limit to its possibilities in the immedi
ate future.-New York Herald

My ideals are not entirely Ameri-

and my sympathies are with the Old
World rather than with the New.
Some day l hope to live there per-

Prompted by my ideals, I did not
always act in the conventional Ameri-

he did not seem to. l created for
myself the most striking toilettes. and
designed our house on De Lancey
place as an epoch house for Phila-

carving and sombre, massive beauty.
Its low ceilings, it's loaded windows
and huge freplaces recalled an old
English castle.
My boudoir was all of pale rose vel
vet hangings, amid white and gold fur
niture. Garlands of roses climbed
over it's snowy walls. Great golden
vases were always filed with orchids
and roses and into it's scheme 1 slipped
as a harmonious living feminine note.
How could my husband prefer this
dancer in her commonplace surround

THE DANCER.

N WON'T discuss Mr.. Gilpin, but here
are a few little problems society
woman who aspires to be a leader
may ponder over.
am not poor; my father was a mil
lionaire rancher in Australia. 1 toured
the world when l was young and re-
ceived quite as good an education as
any society woman.
l married Mr. Mccartney. He was
poor miner There was no thought in
my mind of family in return for my
money or anything except my love for
Mr.. Mccartney. Our marriage was I'M
fortunate and We were divorced.
Then l went on the stage because
felt l had something beautiful in my
dancing to show the world; because
wanted to do something; because am
an artist and because by dancing is
artistry.
If my object in life made me pose
before hundreds does not the society
leader strip herself of exclusiveness
when she poses in her new gowns be-
fore other hundreds at the opera, on
the Newport beach. at the Casino. on
Fifth avenue. She parades herself,
but she is like a peacock, showing only
its fine feathers. We dancers parade
fine feathers; we are showing our art
If woman knows that her husband
does not care for the life of a society
man, she should make up her mind to
do one of two things: Let society go
or let her husband CO. She has her
choice, and If, choosing, she loses one
or the other, she should not complain
But If a woman loves her husband and
has his interests at heart, which would
she choose, do you think?
There are men who are children at
heart, artists despite their birth, who
turn to the sympathy and companion
ship of artists, naturally If a woman
marries a man like this, let her make
up her mind to meet that sympathy
and give the man what he needs. If
she cannot make up her mind to do
this, then let her not complain if she
loses her husband.
Society is conventional Society
women are the most conventional of
beings! The very unconventionalities
which some assume is nothing more
than the exhibition of their manacles
of convention
Did the society woman ever do a
conventional thing-which is the ma
tural thing-and meet and fight other
women in fair field for the husband
that is in danger of being lost? No;
she goes to the conventional remedy
the divorce court. She takes the con-
ventional view of marriage it is
a bond which when once tied needs no
further inspection of the knot. When
she finds the knot slipping or broken.
her little world is overturned. She
has no resource-for the divorce court
is not a resource, no more so than the

A Text Book on Cookery.

Mrs. Van Zile, professor of domestic
science at X. 5. A c., together with
some of her assistants have written
a text book to be used in the cores
ponderce course in cookery that is
being offered by the extension depart
ment. In planning for the various cor
respondence courses it has been the
aim of the college to adopt good
text book and aid the student as much
as possible in the study of it. No sat
isfactory text was to be found for ele-
mertary cookery so it was necessary
to write one. A bulletin entitled
Fundamental Study of Foods has al
ready been sent to the printer and
Mrs Van Zile will later prepare a
second bulletin containing laboratory
exercises.
These bulletins will be furnished
free to all persons taking the cores
pondence course in cookery and also
be sent free to all members of the
women's auxiliary of the Farmers in
stitutes.

crop in Geary county has been fin

than was expected, and the machine
owners have had sufficient work to do
without leaving the county. All the
wheat threshed was of good quality,
some of it going as high as 80 bush
els to the acre. Most of the wheat
was sold after a small portion of it
had been threshed. All went on con-
tracts, local milling companies taking
the entire yield. The farmers are
now busy hauling the wheat to town
and delivering it on contracts. So
far as known, no Geary county wheat
will be shipped out until it is made
