GREEN RYE FOR MILK cows
May Be Fed When II Heads Out and
There Is More Nourishment In
Il at That Time.

Green rye may be fed as soon as 1t
heads out; there Is then the most
nourishment in the stalks. Cut when
free of dew, and let 1t wilt few
hours before feeding. Feed small
quantities at first. A half forkful may
be given to each cow after the hay
has been eaten. When fed thus there
Is no danger Of bloat or hoven. The
feeding of green feed to cattle should
be in the hands of a careful man, and
not given to boys or careless hand.
Attention to this rule will frequently
save the life of valuable COW.
Horses at work should not be given
green feed, as 1t is liable to produce
collie. Cows should not be turned out
to pasture too early. Wait until the
grass has made some growth. and
there is some nourishment In the
grass. Before turning out to grass
give the cows feed of hay or straw
first. After the hay is eaten they are
turned on the pasture. For the first
day or two let them Craze, one or two
hours. When the cows are accus.
toned to the change they may remain
out all. day. Experienced dairymen
feed a small grain ration throughout
the grazing season. II you are getting
l6 cents per gallon for milk, 1t will
pay to do this.

MADE HIS OWN WAY
immigrant Boy Becomes a Law
School Professor.
Samuel Want Was Penniless When
He Came From England Ten
Years Ago-Now an Expert
Commercial Lawyer.

Baltimore, Md-At TWENTY-FIVE years
Of age, Samuel Want, who came to this
country a penniless immigrant ten
years ago. has been appointed a mem

sity of Maryland. Mr.. Want is also

Instructor in commercial law at the
eastern high school, a member Of the
Maryland bar. and Is engaged In other
activities and labors.
The appointment by the faculty of
the University of Maryland, of which
Chief Judge Harlan is dean, is the
result of sheer force of merit and
effort on the part of young Want.
He entered the university in 1907 as
freshman and was graduated from
the school In June, 1908. He made
the three-year regular course in less
than IL months and the faculty were
quick to appreciate the intellectual
and gifted qualities of the young man.
His special duties on the faculty are
to instruct students in the selection
of books and authorities. The young
professor has had a varied and pic
turesque career made interesting be-
cause he came to this country penni-
less and without friends at the age
Of twelve years from Newcastle, Eng
land.
Young Want knew a former En-
glishman who lived in Darlington, s.
c., and straightway made for that
southern town. He astonished the
residents of that city when he ambled
from a freight train into the post
office and inquired for the man whom

Americans Learning Spanish.

Boston, Mass.-Pupils DESTROYS of
learning Spanish in the schools are
numerous. During the last term at
Columbia university, conferences were
held in that institution In the Ian.
guage of Cervantes. The mayor of
Boston recently compelled all the
school masters in his jurisdiction to
include Spanish in the school curricul.
UNI and it may safely be affirmed that
there is hardly a mercantile firm of
any Importance in the United States
that does not possess an employee who
can both speak and. write Spanish
fiuently.
The reason of all this is not far
to seek. The United States in its
anxiety to find new markets for its
products has set its eyes on South
America and hopes to find a new field
there and also in Central America
among its many republics, AMI they
are satisfied that in the long run they
win have them all under their con,

Dairying is the most prominent

A little laxative feed should be
given at the time of freshening.
Milk cows must have an abundance
of water or they will fall on in milk.
A cow that milks for only five or

Irregularity and too much gener-

dangerous.
When your cows do not pay for
their feed, it's time to change the feed

If there is noticeable falling on in
the milk, see II a change in the ra-

Cows like molasses and as 1t makes

EXCELLENT QUALITY OF MILK
Jersey Cow Is Unsurpassed for Beauty,
Utility, Profit and Superiority
Of Product.

The milk of the Jersey COW will al
ways be In great demand with the
critical consumer. because it contains
far greater proportion of nourishing
solids and rich, highly favored, but
ter fat than the milk Of other breeds.
The man who investigates the adj
vantage of the Jersey cow over the
dairy breeds will generally invest his
money in Jersey cow. and the profits
will demonstrate his wisdom.
The Jersey COW yields as much
profit as two or more ordinary cows.
She is healthy. vigorous, and costs
no more to keep than an inferior COW.
