Precincts 21 and 37

The Board of Revenue has rescind- ed it's order of December 30, 1911. and precincts 21 and 37, formed before city stood in Jones valley, are to be maintained intact regardless of popu- lation or the polling of votes. It is another instance of laws that do not fit rapidly increasing populations. The laws of Alabama are largely of a standpat nature. They lack elasticity, and people at a county or state cleo ton must continue to stand in line in precincts 21 and 37 if they desire to vote. No one except Mir. King seems to care how long they stand in line, or what effect the population in those precincts has on the vote.
 It is regrettable that the two pre- cincts cannot be divided Citizens should not unnecessarily be discom- moded when they go to the polls. It is difficult to induce the average citi- zen to go to the polls under the best of circumstances. When he is asked to go under the worst of circum- stances it is not surprising that he al times refuse to go at all.
 The matter will doubtless have to go over to the next legislature when perhaps, some legal way can be de- vised that will afford the voters in t..is prosperious city some degree of relief

BREEDING IS FEEDING.


Remember that the right feed of the
COW means working her to her capac-
ity. You cannot increase the pro-
duction beyond that which is fixed by
her breeding. To be sure, we'll
bred dairy COW yields a small amount
of milk when not given to right
amount and kind of food; but when
the latter is supplied, there is no pos
sible way OF feeding to make her go
beyond the production which her
breeding indicates.
The general conception is that COW
gives milk because she eats, and that
is true only to limited extent. AS
a matter of fact, the we'll bred dairy
COW gives milk because of her breed
ing, and not because she eats. If
food was denied her, she would con-
tinue to produce milk taking the
material from that stored in her body
until the COW would become starved.
She eats because she needs it for milk
production and to sustain her body.
The eating is the result of milk pro-
duction rather than the cause of it.
Pay more attention to the bI eeding
of the COW and more money will be
saved in the feed bill.

Questions and Answers.
FEEDING ROOTS.

Question: What is the feeding value
of roots to mich COW? DO carrots
dry COW up? Do roots make the
milk taste Of them, and when should
they be fed? A. j. +. Elma Wash.
Answer: Roots make very valuable
feed for the dairy COW, because
they furnish some nutriments and the
necessary succulence to take the place
of grass The table of digestible
nutrients shows only slight difference
between the various root crops, and
in view of that fact it is usually adj
visable to plant that crop that will
give the largest yield per acre. Car
rots if fed alone would probably cause
decrease in the milk flow because
there is not enough food in them for
milk production. However, IL fed in
connection with some hay and grain
an increase in production could be
expected. Any root crop or other feed
having a strong flavor will impart
odor to milk if fed before or during
milking; same is true if the odorous
feed is stored in the same room with
the milk. IT fed after milking and
not within three hours after milkig

Si|age Fermentation

edges of cement silo, but the acid
an chemical tests are necessary to
prove that it is normal silage. The
odor of the silage is the next best to
test.
In the support of this statement,
other portions of the bulletin state
that the production of Tactic acid
from the sugar in the corn is an i'm
portant process in the making OF the
best silage and that the bac terra
which produce this acid do not thrive
much below 20 degrees F., whereas
walls of cement and stone, being ex-
cellent conductors of heat, tend to
reduce the temperature below that
point in the adjacent silage.
1t is not stated that there is less
nutriment in silage which is below
normal in acid, but it is claimed that
the acid acts as a appetizer, keeping
the animal hungry and the digestive
tract healthy.
This is common observation by all
persons who have fed silage, but in
defense of the cement silo it may be
asked whether the silage at distance
from the walls does not contain sutti-
cient acid to compensate for the lack
of it in the Silage near the walls. In
other words, until several analysis
have shown that silage next to a
cement wall actually contains less
nutriment than that farther away we
shall hesitate to advise against the
building of cement silos.
However, Notwithstanding this ap-
parent disagreement with the author
of this bulletin, Professors w. M.
Estes and Christie j. Mason, we are
under great obligation to them for the
patience and thoroughness with which
they have conducted their expert
ments and investigations and brought
to light many important facts con-
corning the fermentation of silage.
Among other valuable suggestions
submitted, one of the most important
is, that in ensiling clover, alfalfa or
other legumes which contain no sugar,
add some crop containing sugar. For
example, use rye, just coming into

THE TELEPHONES
BROADER FIELD

You know the telephones
mechanical ingenuity. But
do you know the ingenuity
of its every day uses.
Ordinary uses Of the tele-
phone are pretty well under
stood; but there is an enor-
nous field of long distrance
telephone service just out
side the ordinary. every day
uses of the average family.
Many families get twice.
three times. FIVE fold and
even ten fold the real service
from the telephone that
others do. They have no
advantage over their neigh
bors. being subscribers to the
same Bell service. But they
are ingenious. They turn to
the long distance telephone
in emergencies. They en-
ploy long distance to give in
creased convenience. to re-
lieve anxiety. to bind the
family together in spite Of
separation, to promote social
life. share happiness. express
sympathy and enlarge their
interests on every hand. To
them the telephone is far
more than convenience for
ordering groceries.
These wider uses Of the
telephone are important.
And. by the way. long dis
lance messages are not as
expensive as you may think.
Call Long Distance and
inquire about rates.
