Corn as q Efsi faf COWS.

The dairyman finds that corn has
the largest place of any OF the farm
crops in his business OF milk produc-
ton. OF the two principal nutriu ents
required by the dairy cow corn yields
one in the most wholesome form in
the largest amount Per acre of any
crop. This means that wnen milk
production is considered economical.
ly. corn and alfalfa must be recognized
as constituting the main part of
cows feed. They balance each other
as well as any other combination OF
two feeds.
Owing to the fact that corn can
be made into silage successfully to
supplant the need of green feed dur
ing the winter months, thus stimulat-
ing the flow of milk, it is of double
value to the dairyman. In this respect
it has no equal. Where men have
tried to produce milk on silage alone
they have failed, as the corn plant is
deficient in protein, SO necessary for
muscle building and for supplying
nourishment to the cells. Therefore
alfalfa or Ike feed must be given
to furnish the protein. As tonic"
corn ranks high, and no matter what
investigation may show as to the
superiority of protein feeds, coiD
must always be used as a part, thougb
not all, of ration for dairy COWS.
Corn also is food for calves fed Oh
skim milk, since it supplies the fat
removed by the Swimming OF the milk.
Ground corn is better than oilnnaI.

PUTTING Flesh on a Mare.

A Maryland reader wants to know
how to fatter up a ffteen-year-old
mare In poor flesh now.
Let her run out to grass in good
pasture. Bring her n every morning
and evening. and feed her the follow
ing Three quarts or bran, one quart
of cornmeal, one quart of molasses.
Mix well together. If you have to use
her. feed also fair ration of oats at
noon, but she will do her best.if given
no work for a while till she begins to
put on flesh. In general do not
recommend feeding potatoes to
horses. AS lorg as there is green
grass no root feed is needed. When
such feed is required. carrots are

milk There are very -ew COWS. how
ever, that will take care Of as mrch
roughage as this. Much depends Oh
the price of dairy products whetie''
it will pay to add meal 10 supple ent
the alfalfa. A ration consisting oil
20 pounds alfalfa hay and pounds
barley meal should produce 80 pounds
of per cent milk. In the later
ration ten pounds less of alfalfa hay
is used, which is worth 5 cents, and
~ cents worth of barley meal Is add
ed to the ration, making the ration
with the barley meal cost Z cents
more than when alfalfa is red alone.
The question is. can the feeder afford
to spend cents more per day for the
extra amount of milk receiyed?-

Novel Holder FOR Powder Puff.
woman's carrying bag Will generally
reveal a tiny powder pun or some
other equally efficient beautifler.
When opportunity offers they slyly
slip the puff out and use it.
Just imagine how infinitely more
convenient to have these little ad-
juncts stored in the handles of a para
sol, where they can be quickly reach
ed without being noticed. Parasols
and umbrellas with these novel ap-
purtenances are now obtainable, be-
cause of the thoughtfulness Of an up
to-date inventor The top of the
handle of the parasol Is hinged, SO
that It can be easily raised. Be-
meath the lid is a small cup, contain
ing powder puff, etc. in some of these
handles the top when raised reveals
a small lrror, an additional con-
venience that will naturally be ap-
preciated.
Other personal ornaments that con-
ceal the powder puff are the hatpins
with large heads, in which the pun
can be accommod ted under a hinged
top: pendants and watch bracelets.
In many of the watch bracelets, which
are of course expensive, the puff Is
concealed beneath the watch in q
little cavity just the right size and
shape.

! poly In Charge of Transportation
In Alaskan Territory.
Washington. D. C.-Senator Robert
M. La Toilette in a speech came out
openly in favor of Government owner
ship of the railroads of Alaska and Of
like control of the natural resources
of that rich territory. He referred to
bill which he introduced four
years ago, providing for the leasing of
all mineral rights in the United States,
although the measure was intended
to be applicable more especially to
Alaska.
THE sensible and practical thing
to do" he said, lis to create a board of
public works for Alaska, to be ,ap-
pointed by the President and con-
firmed by the Senate, similar to the
Isthmian Canal Commission. Tlis
board of public works should then
u2del take no merely to build rail-
road from Controller Bay to the coal
..e.ds, but it should now acquire all
the railroads in Ala. ka, and settle at
hip. it should similarly provide for

Most important of all is control OF

Government. It would forever remove
the irresistible temptation of dis
elimination, rebates and corruption
which have characterized the worst
period Of our railroad operation"
He said the people are waging a
losing fight against the corporations
in Alaska. Between the great store
house of natural resources and those
who are trying to develop it is to be
found the enormous power of the
greatest concentration of capital that
the world has ever known" He found
parallel iI the present situation in
Alaska in the struggle in the anthra-
cite coal fields of PENNSYLVANIA a
quarter of a century ago. He traced
the legislation passed by the State of
Pennsylvania and said that in every
instance it had failed to break the
grip of the monopoly.
