A Lady Reviews Chautauqua.

Once more has it been the privi-
lege of the Redwoodites to enjoy a
Chautauqua, and as in former year S
| have expressed my views on it by
my pen, have again been requested
to do so for the benefit of the absent
ones who are interested. The adj
vantages of attending a Chautauqua
in order to learn things. in prefer
ence to travelling oneself in search
of knowledge is apparent at a glance.
We had to forgo none of our home
comforts by travelling; yet for a
trifling sum of money that would
not have carried us more than half
way to Minneapolis, we could sit
comfortably in the Chautauqua tent
and have more information about
our own country and other countries
and peoples poured into our ears.
than we should have found out for
ourselves if we had endured all the
discomfort and gone to the expense
of travelling for years.
On the first day of Chautauqua it
rained. Well that was not out of
place at all; for that day we listened
to the urbane and polished Mr..
Adrian as he described the wonders
wrought in vegetation by the clever
Burbank (and even he cannot grow
things entirely independent of mois-
ture.) 1t was very wonderful to see
Mr.. Adrian stroking his cheek with
the smooth silken cactus that had
been evolved from the prickly desert
cactus that was a terror to man and
beast. And when the clover, al
falfa, and corn are inadequate to
furnish butter and beef enough for
US, why, we can depend on Bur-
banks spineless cactus; for it yields
400 tons to the acre on good irri-
gated land. and from Is to 35 tons
to the acre on the deserts. And
more than that, he is growing a

In the evening the cupola was
placed and the crown set on the
whole Chautauqua by Mohammed
Ali Of India, as he'.gave in such a
modest manner description of his
country, andlthe story of his life;
telling what JOY he counted it to
lose his beloved family, his wealth

The Minnesota Supreme Court in
an opinion written by Justice
|O'Brien. has sustained the validity
of the law passed by the last session
of the legislature. requiring all per-
sons buying milk or cream, for the
manufacture of butter or cheese, to
take out a state license. This means
that approximately 1900 buyers must
pay a fee of 81 forthwith or be SUBJ
ject to prosecution for violation of
the law. The statute went into
effect january LIST. and at that time
about 1900 persons in the state took
the examination prescribed by the
dairy and food commission. R. E.
Cobb, st. Paul dealer. objected to
the statute however, on the ground
that it was unwarranted interior
ence with business and hence uncon-
stitutional, and vents into the courts
with the case. When this action
was taken, Andrew French, dairy
and food commissioner. stopped the
collection of all fees for licenses,
pendinga decision of the case. MIR.
Cobb won in the lower courts but
the state appealed to the supreme
court and has just won, a decision.
Notices will be sent out at once to
all persons who passed the required
examination that they may now get
their licenses on payment of the fee.
A warning will be issued to all 9TH
ers buying milk and cream for
manufacturing purposes, that they
must conform to the statute. One
dollar pays for a 2-year license.

There is an impression that Gov.
Hughes of New York will be the
next chief justice of the United
States, to succeed the late Chief
Justice Melville Fuller. No appoint
ment will be made by President
Taft until congress convenes in De-
cember. when it is quite probable
that a successor to Justice Moody
will be necessary as he is anxious to
retire. The president is DESTROYS of
securing justices between the ages
of 40 and so ages.

The chief complaint against Mr..
Bryan is that he always strikes out
when the bases are full and the
score tied, says the Pioneer Press,
to which the Brooklyn Eagle says:
Wrong again. Mr.. Bryan is sent
to the bat, not in the hope that he
will make a hit, but for the specific
purpose of missing and losing the
game. AT this he has become an
expert. He is the Casey of the
party. And the oftener he strikes
out, the greater appears to be the
Democratic demand for his services.
True. he has just been snubbed at
home, but that is mere spasm.
Before long he will apply for a para.
mount on the next paramount issue,
which will be neither government

calm and composed when the late
frost destroys Delaware's peaches,
and the worm eats the apples of
New York and Yakima. And the
cactus will not only furnish food for
the COW, and fruit for man, but also

We were shown, too, the English
walnut, whose shell Burbank had
made so thin that it could be crushed
in the fingers; made it too thin in
fact as the birds stole the kernel
and he had to cultivate it backward
again until now the birds could not
break into itwith their beaks. If l

100 tons of delicious fruit to the

sometime America S wood lot would
all be cleared; and he set to work
and made tree that is fit to saw

it is planted. California has shown
its good sense by making Burbank S
birthday legal holiday. They can
all afford to rest one day in the
year, just through having one citi-
zen who has done so much. He
now has $1,000 experiments going

very poor remembery."
Gov. Buchtel's inspiring lecture
on success is just what is needed to
colnterbalance the talk and writ

that success means either a pile OF
money, or a place of power over
other people. We shall each have
succeeded II we develop body, mind
and soul; and faithfully do our duty
in the corner in which God placed
us.
DR.. Green is another lecturer
whom we would be glad to hear
again. He has a wonderful faculty
both for gaining and imparting in
formation. He said that Japan did
not want to fight America because
she loved her, for having brought
herself out into the world. Japan
has erected a monument to Commo-
dore Perry on the spot where he
landed. The anniversary Of his
landing is kept as an holiday, and
the Japanese children dance around
the Commodore's statute and en-
twine it with flowers. Another rea-
son for stunning war with America
Tor any other nationl is that they
are terribly in debt, and have to
work hard, and live low, in order to
pay it. Out of every dollar. they
earn ~ cents is taken for taxes; be-
sides which they can hardly turn
around without doing something
that calls for a special tax. And
when one would think that they had
escaped the burden by reason of
death claiming them, there is yet
another tax to pay before the body
lean be lowered into the grave. The
Japanese intensely hate Russia for
forcing them into that costly Russo
japanese war, and DR.. Green said
that the onward sweep Of Christi
anity ii Japan had been greatly
RETARDED by the treacherous conduct
of (Christian) Russia towards japan.

think it is not quite equal to alfalfa
hay. If you can grow oat and vetch
hay and would have to buy alfalfa,
/ would by all means recommend the
oats and vetch. 1t is especially good
for feeding green to the COWS, during
the summer months. Turnips are
good feed for dairy cows, but there
are other roots that will give much
greater yield per acre and consequently
would be more profitable crop. l
would suggest mangels, carrots or sug-
ar beets. A ration that would apply
under average conditions is rather
difficult to give. for the reason that
feeds vary so much in different sec
lions, l would suggest, however, that
the succulent feed, either corn, clio
yer or oat aud pea silage, or if you
do not have silo some other root
crops, (kale is also an excellent sue
culent food in certain sections of the
state) be fed in quantities from 35 to
50 lbs. per day. Give the COW what
bay she will eat readily, and as for
grain, l would feed about one pound
of mixture of grains available to
every three or three and half pounds
of milk produced. Rolled barley is
an excellent feed for dairy COWS but
it is rather expensive at the present
time and you could perhaps use alfalfa
meal and bran or shorts to better ad-
vantage. You do not need corn in
your ration as it is too expensive and
has too great tendency to fatten the
cattle. Do not worry about having to
little fat in your raticn, as the fats
and carbohydrates serve practically
the same purpose in the body, and If
you have plentiful supply of carbo-
hydrates the ration will be all right,
even if it is below the standard in

GRAIN FOR DAIRY COWS


What com bination of grain produces
the largest quantity of milk, and in
what proportion are they mixed, and
how much is given to feed?
Lewis County. G. G. HI.
Ans. There is no combination of
grains that will produce the largest
quantity of milk under all conditions,
it depends upon what sort OF roughage
you are feeding to your dairy COWS.
Ii you have rOughage that is rich In
protein, you can then use to advant-
age grains that are high in carbohy-
drates and fats, while if your roughage
is poor in protein the ration could be
balanced by using grain proportionate.
ly rich in protein.
Cows in milk should be supplied
with ration containing from 30 to
80 lbs. of succulent roughage, such
as silage, roots or kale, all Of the good
clean hay they will eat, and mixture
of grains, in proportion of one pound
of grain to every three or three and
one-half pounds of milk produced.

make no mistake in selecting it. We
use about seven or eight different
makes in our work at the college and
the majority of them give excellent
results.
