tin, son of Representative Richard
w. Austin Of Tennessee, was deprived
of an especially desirable berth by the
navy department merely because he
got married. He had been detached
from the dispatch boat Dolphin at the
Washington navy yard and ordered
to Japan for duty as a student at
tache at the American embassy at
Tokyo for the purpose of studying the
Japanese language. On the way to
his new post of duty he stopped at his
former home in Tennessee and was
married to a girl he had known for
many years.
This was too much for the unro.

suddenly decided that married en-
sign would not make as good a stu

bachelor. Accordingly his orders
were revoked and instead of spending
his honeymoon in Tokyo he will have
less interesting service at the naval
training station on the Pacific coast.

Feeding the Dairy Cow

II matters little how good the herd
or how convenient and perfect it's en-
vironment unless supplied with feeds
in proper amounts and quality. 1t Is
customary on the farm in the corn
belt for the farmer to content himself
with the raising of corn largely, and
In the past 1t has been too often the
case that corn was used as the sole
ration for every class Of farm ami
mails, and 1t was believed that as
good results could be obtained by the
use Of corn and corn alone as though
other feeds were used in conjunction
with it. Corn in years gone by has
possible for the farmer in the corn
belt to raise large yields annually.
During the past few years, however,
although the crop has yielded as large
~ per acre, the price has continued
to advance until at the present time
the farmer feels that to feed it in
such a way there is a waste which
brings about Improbable results
This is true and, furthermore, it is
true that where corn is fed alone, es-
pecially to dairy cows, there is in.

which he can use profitably. After
certain amount of corn is fed to the
dairy COW, all in addition to that is
either wasted by passing on undi-
seSted or Is converted into fat and
laid upon the body which is worse
than wasted because it taxes the d.
gestive apparatus and goes to produce
beef which not only has no value, but
is absolutely detriment to the best
work of the COW.
Other Feed Than Corn Necessary.
In consequence of this the dairy
farmer has learned that it is neces-
sary for him to supply some feed
with the corn raised upon his farm
that contains those nutrients in which
corn is lacking. He knows that a
balanced ration means nothing more
nor less than the supplying of the
different feeding nutrients in proper
proportions SO that the ration is the
one which will produce the greatest
amount Of milk and butter fat at the
least cost. Such ration is made up
