INTEREST IN DAIRY FEEDING
Bulletin of Pennsylvania Experiment
Station Discusses Matter in
Most Thorough Manner

To those Of our readers who make a
careful study of dairy feeding, bulle-
tin ia Of the Pennsylvania expert
ment station will be very interesting.
The principles in dairy feeding are
gone into both in a theoretical and
practical manner. In a rough way the
following rules are laid down as good:
1. Feed grain in proportion to milk
yields; that Is, give her, for example,
one pound of grain mixture per day
for each three or four pounds of milk
produced.
2. Feed all the roughage which the
cow will eat ZIP clean. UP to the point
8. Whenever she becomes too fat re-
duce the amount of roughage, leaving
the amount of grain to be determined
by the milk yield.
Food requirements for COWS of diff
ferent weights and COWS producing
different amounts of milk are given
in tables. Most of our readers will
find the methods as described in the
bulletin extremely unscientific, but af
ter they have studied 1t little they
will find it quite simple and, We be-
ieve, quite practical. Of all the ex
pertinent stations the Pennsylvania
has done the most scientific work
with feeding stock.-Pennsylvan

TO MAKE DUSTLESS BUSTERS
cloths Should Be Soaked in Kerosene
Oil and Put Away for Twenty
Four Hours.

Dustless busters are prepared by
soaking cloths, preferably cheesecloths
or something similar, in kerosene oil,
and then putting them away for not
less than twenty-four hours in a tin
box. They are then ready for USE
The reason of them lying immersed
for this length Of time is to allow the
kerosene to practically dry into the
cloth
If freshly dampened before using the
result would be streaks and smears on
floors and furniture generally.
When the kerosene is completely alb
sorbed by the material the cloth will,
Of course, take up the dust without
scattering it as the ordinary buster is
apt to do.
One housekeeper uses the legs of
stockings cut, fiat for dustless dust
ers, after treating with kerosene, of
course.
She also keeps an old stocking
(treate6 for slipping over her hand
for busting small or delicate orna-
ments. The woolly substance absorbs
the dust.

ELECTRIC CO. FILES SUIT
Milwaukee Public Service Company
Wants Decision Reducing Fares
Set Aside by Court.

Madison.-Four suits were begun
in circuit court for Dane county by
the Milwaukee Electric Railway and
Light company against the railroad
commission to set aside the recent
order of the commission reducing
rates on the four divisions of the
complainant company and imposing
other regulations.
The complainant prays that the
order be set aside and vacated, al
leging that it's requirements impose
an unfair burden. In support of the
allegation it is set forth that the re-
duction of fares resulting from the
order will reduce the revenues of
the company by $171,700 per year.
Pending the hearing of the case
the company asks the court to grant
a temporary injunction restraining
the enforcement of the order until
after the determination OF the suits.

Success in milk and buttermaking
depends largely upon the feed given
to the COW in properly balanced ra-
tons Cows must have both protein
and carbonaceous foods to do well,
and these may be readily selected In
due proportion. The protein foods
are alfalfa, clover, COW peas, hay,
bran, oilmeal, cottonseed meal, oats,
barley gluten meal and soy beans.
The carbonaceous foods are corn and
cornmeal, corn silase, timothy hay,
corn fodder, carrots, sugar beets and
other beets. 4 good labanced ration
may be made of alfalfa or clover hay,
xilage, corn or cornmeal. These may
be fed in balanced quantity and the
dairyman will soon see the quantity
required after feeding short time.
Thirty-fve to 40 pounds Of corn 81
lage per day. according to the size
of the cow, are enough.

SUGGEST SCHOOL CHANGES
Committee Says Where There Are
Less Than Ten Pupils ConsoIida-
ton Should Be Effected.

Mtlwaukee.-Recommendations to
c. p. Cary, state superintendent of
public instruction, which suggest
fundamental changes in the organi-
cation and administration Of the
rural schools of the state, are con-
tanned in a preliminary report which
will be made by the rural school COM
mittee
The committee is of the opinion
that fundamental changes in the or
ganization and administration of
these schools are necessary to make
it possible for them to meet the de-
mands of present day conditions. The
following are some of the recon-
mendations in the preliminary re-
port made to State Supt. G. P. Cary:
The minimum legal qualification
for teaching in the state after, say.
1915, shall be two years high school
training and a years professional
work in a county training school for
teachers or a normal school offer
ing special course of study for
country teachers.
To meet the demand for increased
efficiency on the part of country
teachers during the next few years
the certification law should be
amended in such a way that the sum-
mer schools for teachers may be able
to offer courses of study better
adapted to the needs of these teach
erS
Some means should be provided
whereby the consolidation of many
of the 1900 district schools having
an attendance of less than ten pp-
pills may be brought about
To provide adequate supervision of
the country schools the appointment
of county superintendent of schools
and their assistants should be vest
ed in county boards of education, the
members of which should be elected
by the people in the different coun-
ties.
Some plan should be devised
whereby the country schools NAV he
made to serve as social centers.

PAPER jelly Guns.

The new paper sanitary tumblers
which have just come out ought to
be hailed with delight by the modern
housekeeper, especially at preserving
time. These little vessels are made
from spruce pulp. They are treated
with aseptic qualities at the mill be-
fore being packed in cartons and
shipped to the various stores and in
these cartons sold to the housekeeper,
so the only thing she has to do is to
break the seal and the jelly jars are
ready for use.
They are so inexpensive that they
may easily be thrown away at the
end of the winter SEASON, sayr tho
Philadelphia lines. Each tumDIer IS
treated with a wax process which en-
ables the jelly to slip out as easily
as from a glass jar.
Little round lids come for covering
the vessels and slip into a small
groove at the top. The hot liquid can
be poured directly into these paper
tumblers.

DIETZ CASES DISMISSED
Four of Family Freed Of Charges of
Assault on Request of District
Attorney Williams.

Eau CIaire-The case of the state
of Wisconsin against Hattie, Clar-
ence, Leslie and Elmyra Deitz was
dismissed in circuit court on motion
Of District Attorney Williams of Saw
yer county. All the defendants were
in court, each accompanied by his
attorney, McKenna, Fond du Lac;
Malone, Beaver Dam, and Naber,
Mayviile
There are four cases, charging as
sault with intent to kill.
The district attorney gives as his
reason for the dismissal of the cases,
the following in substance:
That one of the principal witnesses,
John Rogich, is now in Australia and
another, John Hesse, is a profess
sional detective 1t is believed his
evidence would not have much
weight with the jury.
Hattie Deitz is the wife of John
De1tz, Elmyra at the time of the
trouble was 16 years old, Leslie was
II and Clarence was 10. John Deitz
was man of strong personality and
liable to use violence when anyone
differed with him and the members
of his family were. completely under
his sway
John Deitz is now in prison for
life. The natural feeling in the
minds Of the jury would be that he
alone was to blame and he being
punished for this, that would be
enough.
The county board of Sawyer coun-
ty believing the law indicated, has
requested the district attorney to
nolle the case.
John Deitz for some years was
defying the law and now is being
amply punished and it is not be-
lieved that a jury would now pun
ish his wife and children for their
participation in that trouble while
under his control and dominance.
