Experiment IN cow FEEDING
Result of Number of Tests Made by
the North Carolina Station on
Rations for Milk.

The North Carolina agricultural ex-
pertinent station recently concluded
a number of experiments to determine
the relative efficiency of narrow and
medium wide rations, for milk produc-
ton, a report Of which has reached
the department of agriculture.
Eight cows from three to six weeks
In lactation were fed three periods Of
twenty-eight days each. In the first
and third periods the feed consisted
five parts of cottonseed meal, four
quarts wheat bran, three parts OF corn
meal and fifty pounds Of corn silage.
The nutritive ratio Of this ration vas
about IA.
During the second period the ration
was the same IS the above except
that 2.5 pounds of ]cottonseed meal
vas replaced by 2.5 pounds Of cora
meal, giving this ration a nutritive
ration of about 1.57. The result of this
test indicates that the narrow ration
produced rs per cent. more milk fat,
and increased the fat test 0.24 per
cent. and the live weight 80 pounds.
The milk yield was practically the
same.

COWS SHOULD CALvE IN FALL
Dairy Department Of the University
Of Missouri Recommends This as
the Best Practice,

A number Of reasons are given for
the practice of most dairymen Of hsv-
ing cows calve in the fall instead of
in the spring. The Dairy Department
of the University of Missouri econ
mends this as the best practice in
most cases, for some Of the following
reasons:
Prices for milk and butter fat are
highest in the winter, and it is desir-
able that the COW be fresh to give the
maximum flow. When she begins to
decline in the spring, the fresh grass
Of pastures will stimulate her to hold
UP to good production.
Calves in the first few months OF
their growth are fed mostly by hand.
In winter there Ia more time to care
for them properly. The grass Of
spring will come along just when they
are getting started on a rapid growth.
"The dry period Of the cow will
come at the time Of year when pas
lures are usually poor In Missouri,
and when flies are bad. This will
give relief to the cows when they
need 1t, and will be easier for the
mixers.
I'm cases where a regular milk
trade is to be supplied, 1t is necessary
to have the COWS calve at intervals
so that there will be almost a uni
form flow, but where the farmer is
selling can 1t seems best to have
the calves come In the fall"

STATE TAKES HAND IN FIGHT

What is designated by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton Of tuberculosis as the most ad-
vanced legislation in the campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any state in the United
States, If not by any country in the
world, is found in a bill recently
passed by the New Jersey legislature
and signed by Governor Wilson. The
new law provides that tuberculosis
patients who refuse to obey the regu-
lations laid down by the state board
Of health concerning the prevention OF
their disease, and thus become a men,
Q to the health of those with whom
they associate, shall be compulsorily
segregated by order of the courts, in
institutions provided for this purpose.
II such a patient refuses to obey the
rules and regulations Of the institu-
ton in which he is placed. he may be
isolated or separated from other per-
sons and restrained from leaving the
institution" The law further pro-
vides that all counties in the state
of New Jersey shall within six months
from April LIST make provision in spe-
cial institutions for the care of all
persons having tuberculosis in these
counties. The state treasury will sub
sidize each county to the extent of
$500 a week for each person main.

cake, and at the end of the platform
is another frame, like the footboard
of a bed, with two fine wires bisecting
it both ways. The rotable frame has
a series Of fine wires running across
it parallel to each other. The but

this upper frame is pressed down
through it, the wires separating it into
so many square slabs, about an inch
thick. The cake is then forced out
through the other frame and divided
into four times as many smaller

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when / removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till q
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
We had tried several other things, and
