FOR HEALTH AND VITALITY
pairymen Are Feeding Too Narrow
Rations for Good of Cows-Good
Methods Are Needed.
NV w M KELLEY


believe it Is time that we dairy
men took a more rational view of our
business and feed our COWS in a man
ner that would promote their health
and vitality instead of forcing them
to their very limits, as is the prac-
tise in many sections where dairylng
is the exclusive branch of agrlcul-
ture. We are feeding too narrow ra-
tions for the good of our cows.
Cows that are raised and developed
ON clover hay, ensilage, wheat, bran
and oats, with good luxuriant pasture
grass during the summer Will make
better cows than those that are over
fed on a ration i'll adapted to their
needs. l will stake my reputation on
this fact. We may not make as much
milk, but we will have better pro-
ducing COWS and calves, and what
milk we do make will be made cheap
er and our herd will gradually be get
ting better.
/ do not care whether ration is
to or 1 to z as long as it does the
business and is beneficial to the health
Of the cattle. Then, again, the aver
age dairyman does not employ meth
DDS best calculated to give the best
results in breeding. Some dairymen
will raise every heifer calf born on
his farm, while another dairyman
will not raise any. 1 wish we could
induce dairymen to make some ex-
change Of calves whereby only the
best calves from high-producing COWS
would be raised.
In this way dairymen VINO had the
facilities for raising and developing
the heifers could go out and get the
very best calves and raise them and
sell them for good price instead OF
growing the weedy, inferior calves
that were born on his farm.
This would do more than any one
thing to improve the quality of our
dairy herds, and growers could realize
greatly increased profits upon the
cows that they raised.

Holidays in the States.

Washington's birthday is a holiday
in all states. Decoration day in all
states but Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Labor
day Is observed everywhere Virtu-
ally every state has legal holidays
having to do with it's own special af-
fairs-battle of New Orleans in Louis
lana, Texan independence and battle
of San Jacinto in Texas, Admission
day in California, and SO on. Missis-
sippi is like the federal government

common consent independence day,
Thanksgiving and Christmas are OBJ
served. A new one is Columbus day

TWO Very Old LadIas.

We have heard a great deal lately
about long-lived people, but it is prob
able that the oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy Fl, 1855. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however, is nine months
her senior, having been born in May,
1884.
She is still fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her joint allowance. She lives
at the village of Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning of last century much
more clearly than those Of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.

Plain common sense shows the better way
is to stop food that evidently has not been
digested.
Then. when food is required, use an easily
digested food. Grape-Nuts any other II
you know It to be predigested (partly digested
before taking).
We brought to Court analytical chemists
from New York, Chicago and Mishawaka, Ind,
who swore to the analysis OF Grape-Nuts and
that part of the starchy part OF the wheat and
barley had been transformed into sugar, the
kind of sugar produced in the human body by
digest1ng starch (the large part of todd.
Some of the State chemists brought OF by
the weekly" said Grape-Nuts could not Ds
called "predigested" food because not all OF
1t was digested outside the body
The other chemists said any food which had
been partly or half digested outside the body
was commonly known as "predigested."
Splitting hairs about the meaning of a word.
II Is sufficient that If only one-hah Of the
food Is "predigested" it Is easier on weakened
stomach and bowels than food in which no
part Is predigested.
To show the facts we introduce DR.. Thos.
Darlington, former chief of the N. Y. Board
of Health, DR.. Ralph w. Webster, chief OF the
Chicago Laboratories, and DR.. B. Sachs, N. Y.
If we were little severe in cur denuncia-
ton of a writer, self-confessed ignorant about

public will excuse US, in view Of the fact that
our head. Mr.. G. w. Post, has made lifetime
study Of foed. food digestion and effects, and
the conclusions are Endorsed by many Of the

Before DAYS of Free Press.

Many of the restrictions that hamp'
cred the influence Of the press re-
manned in force until the close of the
eighteenth century in England. 1t was
not till that period that newspapers
obtained the right to criticise the pol
icy of ministers and of the king. Mr..
Walter, the first editor of the London
Times, was prosecuted for censuring
the duke of York. He was sentenced
to pay fine of $3.50, stand in the
pillory for an hour, be imprisoned for
a year and give security for his good
behavior for seven years. The order
with regard to the pillory was can
celed, but he had to serve his term in

Freshenlnq Cows.

On a successful dairy farm, where a
large number of cows are kept and
MIXED, special attention is given to
the freshening and drying cows. Three
weeks before cow freshens, If this
occurs during the winter feeding
period, the owner begins feeding
about two pounds of wheat bran a
day. No shorts are fed until after
calving. This feed is gradually in
creased until at calving time the COW
is receiving about four pounds of bran
daily.
After freshening the cows, grain RI
ton is gradually increased by adding
shorts until the amount fed reaches a
maximum of eight pounds for the best
rows in the herd

DRIVING Off Cows.

Experience has shown that the best
way of drying off COWS is for the time
to feed only dry feeds, if on feed, and
to do irregular milking; then milking
but once day and during the week
only alternate days. This will soon
turn COW dry entirely. Some COWS
require more attention than others,
and one should be careful to adjust
the intervals at milking to the condi-
ton of the udder, as it takes longer
to dry off some COWS than others.

Dry Cows.

An effort is made to have each cow
dry from six to eight weeks each year.
The COWS are MIXED regularly twice
a day up to a week of the time they
are to be turned dry. They are then
MIXED once a day for three or four
days, a small quantity of milk being
left in the udder each time. After
this they are turned out to pasture
and are not MIXED again until the
next period of lactation begins.
