Keeping Up the Milk Flow.

When cows have been milking for
several months 1t IL generally waste
Of feed TO attempt to Increase their
flows of milk. About the best that
can he done with an animal after she
has established her milk flow Is to con-
tinue system of feeding that will
keep her from shrinking In milk pro-
duction abnormally fast. The time TO
increase cows milk fiow is Mt the
beginning of her period OF lactation.
The ration should be made so that it
will supply her with all the necessary
demands for maintaining her body and
making milk. and 1t should be increas-
ed. especially the meal portion, as the
cow responds to increased amount OF
feed. When she no longer responds to
more feed then no further increase
should be made Giving little less
IL considered by most people to be
wise system of feeding This practice
will insure the greatest returns for
feed consumed.--Hoard's Dairyman.

Where Americans Are Unpopular.

Every time the natives Ut "a country
in Central America meet in small
room. drink large quantities of black
coffee. smoke countless numbers of
blaeker cigarettes and hatch out rev
olution somebody arises to remark
that no Americans. meaning citizens
Of the United States. are wanted in
that neighborhood. The reason for this
Is that the Americans are real fight
ers. and whenever row Is started
they make it point to shed real blood.
Not long ago, In one of the revolution
airy movements in Honduras. George
T. Miller. an American. was killed
after being ambushed near GENE
terry In one of the towns of Honduras.
When they found Miller however,
there lay in front of him sixteen Hon
