publication cannot we'll be questioned.
Public expenditures are made from the
peoples money, and they are entitled
to know just where that money goes to.
It occurs to us that publication Of
report showing in detail the expend-
lures of city funds would also be high
" proper, and of more Importance than
in the case of towns. In towns the ex-
penditures are restricted, and are fair
ly well known without the publication
of formal report, but in city nobody
outside of the officials, and perhaps a
few influential leaders, know what
happens to the money after it is poured
into the hopper.
We hear frequently of the necessity
of a business administration In
the view of some business admins
tration means an administration by
men who make politics business, but
the ordinary acceptation probably is
that it means an administration which
follows the rules of ordinary, conserva-
tive private business. No prudent man
would pay into private business con-
Germ without knowing something in de-
tail of the business transacted. The
directors of business corporation COM
monty make an annual report showing
the transactions of the year, which re-
port is open to the inspection of every
stakeholder. In city all citizens are
in the position of stockholders, and ac-
cording to ordinary business principles
are entitled to know what their SER
wants are doing with their money.
This ISM written in criticism of any
administration or any official. In fact,
very frequently adverse criticism
would be avoided by making full pub
lie statement of affairs. There is alb
solutely no reason why the people
should not be told exactly what it costs
for the various items of city admins
tration, for streets, for water, for
sewers, for lighting. for fire protection,
for salaries, etc. Undoubtedly most of
those who object that taxes are high
would withdraw the objection if they
were shown that the money is proper
ly spent and that they receive value
for what they pay. We believe the
public would highly appreciate de-
tailed financial statement from our
city council.

SELECTION OF FEEDS
FOR THE DAIRY COW

1.-THE selection of feeds is Of prime
Importance in the profitable manage.
ment of a herd of dairy cows. and,
next to the selection of cows of the
proper type and breeding, is the fac.
tor of greatest Importance in profit
able dairying." This opinion is ex-
pressed by Professors F. w. Vol and
G. C. Humphrey of the agricultural ex.
pertinent station of the University OF
Wisconsin in new bulletin, No. 200 on
Selection of Feeds for Dairy Cows, =
just issued.
BY weighing and testing the milk,
the production of each animal may be
determined, and by comparing the cost
of the feed eaten by the cows with the
value of their production the net profit
yielded by each COW is obtained. The
use of such feeds as will give the max
imum yield from each particular COW
is necessary, if the greatest profits are
to be secured regularly.
1.-The proper proportions Of protein,
carbohydrates and fat in the ration
have been studied by many investiga-
tors with varying results. All feeds
grown on the farm, except clovers and
other legumes, are low in protein and
such farm grown feeds must be supple
mented by the purchase of feeds rich
in protein. An extensive investigation
with the university dairy herd has

The Superior Salvation Army pro-
poses that poor people should be allow
ed to cultivate the unused city lots, not
only furnishing them assistance in get
ting living but improving the appear
ance of the city. The proposition ap-
pears sensible and practical. We
might add that the charitable system
pursued by the Salvation Army, assist
ing poor people to help themselves, is
far preferable to the plan of giving
charity balls, Thanksgiving and Christ
mas dinners and the various other ebul-
lient and transitory spasms INDUCED in
by so many notwithstanding self
styled philanthropists.

A RULE FOR FEEDING COWS

can be used successfully.
RULE FOR FEEDING COWS
THE station method is to feed as
many pounds of grain per day to each
cow as she produces pounds Of butter
fat per week, or one-fourth to one
third as much grain as she gives
pounds Of milk daily. No two cows
can be>fed exactly alike; each must
receive individual attention according
to her requirements.
A general grain mixture may be
used, however, which will meet the
needs of most Of the cows in the herd.
The amount of this mixture to be given
may then be varied according to the
production of the COW.
High producers need more protein
than cows producing only small
amounts Of milk and butter fat. The
amount Of feed used by cows depends
also upon their body weight, larger
cows requiring more feed for mainten-
ance. The amounts of dry matter, d.
gestible matter, and digestible protein
to be furnished must be varied accord
ing to tables given in this bulletin
which have been worked out on the
basis of experiments made at the sta
ton.

Senator Stephenson says that he is
the biggest lumberman and the biggest
farmer in Wisconsin, and that he IA
vors the reciprocity treaty. He says
further that the price of breadstuffs is
fixed by the Liverpool market, and
treaties cut no figure in the matter.
1t would be interesting if the senator
would inform US how, if the treaty
cuts no figure in determining the price
of grain, the consumer is to get any
benefit from it. If reciprocity is not

derstanding of the various common
subjects of knowledge which all ex-
perience has proven to be fundamental
to success in almost any honorable
calling or occupation. They will in ad-
dition have acquired such scientific and
vocational information and such train
ing as will enable them to teach good
school. They will have an earning
power Of from $4,000 to $1,000 per
month, according to personal ability and
location. They will find, also, that the
habits of study ard industry acquired
in pursuing this course will be Of more
value as the years pass than the money
they can earn upon graduation.
The new building will be occupied
soon. When the school is settled there
in, it will be well equipped to perform
all of the work contemplated for
schools Of its kind. One of our special
features, which particularly adapts our
school for preparing teachers for
country schools, is the model country
school, which is in session throughout
the year, and in which the students of
the graduating class observe, manage,
and teach under conditions but slightly
different from those under which they
must work when they go out after
graduation to the schools of the
county,
The model school will occupy all of
the first floor of the building. It will
be provided with the best modern ap-
pliances for the instruction, comfort
and health of the children, and for
demonstrating all Of the work o.. a
first-class country school. The enroll
ment will be permitted to increase,
until there are thirty-six in daily at
tendance. At present the model school
has classes in the following grades:
first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth,
seventh, eighth.
Heretofore it has been necessary to
have all members of the graduating
class in school the last quarter of the
year. Beginning with next year, stu
dents may graduate at the end of any
quarter, when their work is completed.
The demand for teachers in November,
December and January is quite often
as strong as in summer. The school
will endeavor to supply at least part
of this demand, in the future.
With this new possibility of grad
uation at the end Of any quarter. it
will be proper for students to begin
their work at the beginning Of any
quarter. AS the work of the school
requires reasonable maturity, persons
under sixteen years old should not seek
admission. Persons who have COM
pleted no more than the work of the
eighth grade will usually need two
and one half years to complete the
course. Persons who have completed
nine grades usually require two years
to graduate from the training school.
Persons who have graduated from high
schools, and others whose personal
ability and maturity enable them to
master the work, may graduate in one
year.
The spring quarter will open April 10,
1911. We will then be in the new
building, and will be in condition to
offer much better work than hereto
fore. 1t will be good time for some
new Junior students to enter.
Yours truly,

the night in which the duo made off
with a cons; derable quantity of jewell

Finally Lefty, laughing more to HIM
self than TO Hunky exclaimed:
Gee, | left your card on the sitting

Hunky stopped short and glared at
Lefty.
"You didn't go and leave my card
there?" he questioned. MY profess

Sure" assented Lefty in amaze
ment
"You''----started Hunky, bat broke
off the sentence to turn abruptly and
race back in the direction of the Tab

Lefty had noticed that Hunky
neglected to leave his card at
the Taber residence and con-

Hunks negligence was due to an
oversight.
Pulling his brain over the matter,
Lefty retraced his steps until the big
Taber home doomed up before him.
Then he waited in shadow until
Hunky appeared.
There was. a foolish smile on
Hunky's face when he Joined Lefty

Once when depth of 200 feet was
reached an obstruction was encounter

farther. and the line broke. A very
heavy weight has to- be used on ac-

Preferred to Be a Quack.

A ouack at fair near Paris was
driving a roaring trade selling nos
trums. drawing teeth and beguiling
the crowd in the usual ways, says the
British Medical Journal. The letter
of the French law against unqualified
practice is very strong, though owing
TO the Indifference Of the magistrates
II is not strictly carried out. This,
however. was a particularly hagrant
case. and the police felt compelled to
intervene. The quack was therefore
accosted by the guardians Of the law,
taken to tent at the back of his
stand and requested to show his diplo-
ma. To the stupefaction of the gend-
armes he exhibited perfectly au'
