FEEDING cow WHOLE GRAINS
Inadvisabiiity of Ration Has Been
Demonstrated by Experiment Sta
tons and Owners.

It is seldom advisable to feed whole
grain to dairy cows. This has been
demonstrated time and time again.
both by experiment stations and in
dividuaI dairy men and farmers. The
animals cannot make as good use OF
whole grain as of grain that has been
ground The Michigan station has
furnished some exact data on the sub
ject that are worth attention The
work was very carefully done and the
results reported as follows: When
whole corn was fed to COWS 22.75 per
cent passed through them Unmasticat-
ed; when fed to heifers. 1917 per
cent, and when fed to calves. 6.28 per
cent When whole oats was fed TO
COWS. 1906 per cent passed through
them unmasticated; when fed to
heifers, 5.48 per cent. and when fed
to calves. 2.98 per cent Whole corn
and oats not masticated when fed TO
COWS, 26-46 per cent; to heifers. 1850
per cent, and calves 5.78 per cent.
Chemical analysis showed practically
the same composition Of grain before
feeding. Therefore it Is safe to con
clude that the animal derives no BEN
eft from grain which passes through
the digestive tract unmasticated. The
results show two things: First, that
feeding whole grain to COWS and heff-
ers is a very wastefUl practice; sec
ond. that the younger animals are
more capable Of masticating their
feed than older ones.

The stranger, by this time, was fully

and to offer to give up the berth. This
the senator would not do, but went
into the car ahead. and found a place

An hour later the train was wreck

APPLYING LIME WITH DRILL
Success Made by Removing Rubber

Boxes-Gauqe Regulates.

Formerly my neighbOrs, as Well as

this year we removed the whole, rub
bers, cast-iron boxes or cups and all.
and let the lime pour down In small
open streams from each opening as
the fat disks pushed it out of the fer
tilizer box. It is a perfect success,
and the gauge can be set to spread
from 500 to 900 pounds per acre. The
lime drops right down around the
hoes and is partly covered by them.
Then we harrow the land crosswise,
then drill in the wheat with ESQ pounds

that have been lined and the four
acres that have not been lined. The
experiment costs little besides the

Caring for consumptiv.s.

There are now four special methods
by which consumptiye workingmen in
the United States are being cared for
In such cities as Albany, EImira and
BinghamtOn, N. Y, the unions support
a separate pavilion or hospital In
cities like Hartford, New Britain and
South Manchester. Conn, the work
men contribute towards the mainte-
nance of a fund for the care of con-
sumptiVes. The employers also con-
tribute to these funds. There are also
two national sanatoria for the treat
ment of tuberculosis owned and oper-
ated by labor unions; one by the in
ternational Typographical union and
the other by the Printing Pressmen
and Assistants union. In Massachu-
sets, Illinois and elsewhere large cor
porations and manufacturers have
agreed voluntarily to care for all their
consumptive employees for a limited
length of time.

Famous English Artist Explains

the interesting point of view was
evolved that they need not be disheart-

popular with women.

not reply.
None Of us knew anything about It

While we were off the northern end
of Luzon, the largest island in the
