Lime AS A FACTOR
IN STOCK FEEDING

We hear much about a deficiency Of
-lfme In the soil and Of the benefits TO
sbe derived from thorough applications
of ground limestone upon acid soils,
but we hear much less about the status
of lime in common feeding ration,
writes w. A. Freehoff in the Iowa
Homestead. Stockmen will talk all
day Of balanced rations, the necessity
IF having the proteins, the carbohy-
--drates and the fats in just the right
proportions, but there is never a word
about calcium, the base of lime. 1t
may be due to the fact that a balanced
ration may, whether we realize it or
not, have enough of all mineral ele-
ments required by the animal. Yet it
Is true that a balanced ration may
easily have a deficiency Of minerals, to
the resulting detriment of the animal
fed.
Stockmen are familiar with the ex-
periments now being carried on at the
Wisconsin station to determine the
phosphorus requirements of different
animals. These experiments are be-
ing conducted not so much from the
standpoint Of the practical feeder in
compiling rations as with the object to
determine the role of different ele-
ments as they may be found in differ
lent grains.
One of the experiments by the Wis
-consin investigators is particularly in
&eresting. A cow giving normally

ControIIinu the Mississippi.

Regarding some method for mitigat-
ing the Mississippi river foods, the
Scientific American says: '"The recent
outbreak of the river will serve to di-
rect attention to proposed method Of
control which we are inclined to think
will prove to be the ultimate solution
of the problem. We refer to the plan
Of providing storage reservoirs in the
upper reaches of the river, in which
the flood waters, due to spring rains
and the melting Of the SHOWS, could
be impounded, to be released in dry
season for the purpose of maintaining
the river at q navigable depth"

The Rusty Milk Can.

Pay particular attention to washing
and scalding the cans, brush being
used for washing. Milk cannot be free
from taint and in proper condition for
making a fine product if stored in a

old rusty can. No person can wash it
properly. It has served its time and
since becoming rusty has lost enough
dollars through tninted milk to buy

ANIMAL ODORS IN MILK.

Simple Test Demonstrates the VaIue
of Dairy Cleanliness.
To find out how animal and stable
odors get into milk one may take two
one pint glass fruit jars. wash them
perfectly clean, ADJUST the rubber
rings, screw the covers down and take
them to the stable at milking time.
While the air in the stable may seem
to be moderately pure, it is probably
not better than the average in such
buildings. AS soon as cow has been
MIXED the jars may be filled two
thirds full of the warm milk, the cover
Of one screwed on tightly and the jar
at once submerged in very cold run
ming water until thoroughly chilled,
when it should be placed upon a shelf
until morning. The other jar should
be allowed to remain open on a shelf
back of the COWS until after supper,
when it should be closed up for the
night, writes S. Van Allen in the Farm
Journal.
In the morning shake both jars, open
and test for odor. No mistake in de-
termining which one was left open
need usually be made. In fact, you may
call in an outsider who can detect the
odor in the one without knowing the
previous history. The sample which
was chilled may also have an odor,
but not an Objectionable one. Each
sample may then be poured into a
glass flask and slowly heated. AS
they warm up the opened one will give
off noticeably offensive odor, which
entirely disappears little later. The
other, or the chilled jar, may show
nothing offensive during the heating.
In fact, it may give off rather clean,
pleasing odor, such as emanates from
pure milk while being heated.
The deductions from this simple test
are that the odor impaired by the COW
to the milk while yet in the udder was
not, at least, Of such a nature or of
sufficient quantity to demand aeration,
but how about the milk which stands
open about the barn for some time
and draws odors from without as well
as from the COW? This simple test will
tend to show any person how carefully
milk should be handled at all times in
order to evade the impurities to which
it is so sensitive.

Artificial Tobacco.

Artificial tobacco leaves are now
made. by a process invented by Ger
man chemist. Stems and ribs Of to-
caustic soda or potash, are separated
into fbers and ground until ''smeary
mass" is obtained. This composition
is fed into a paper making machine
and converted into sheets, which pos
sess all the properties Of natural to-
bacco, and may be used in a similar
manner to the natural product.

DAIRY WISDOM.

Keep up the brushing after
the cows go out to pasture.
There will always be some little
stuff clinging to the cows side
where she has lain down on the
ground.
Use only a thoroughbred but
ter bred sire for next years crop
of calves. The aim should be
to make each heifer better than
her dam.
The young calf's stomach is
sensitive, and good results can
only be had when the milk is fed
at blood heat, or the temperature
that il comes from the cow.
1t pleases the COW to be milk
ed quickly and gets her in the
habit of giving down promptly.
1t is often the slow mixers that
make the strippers.
Gentleness and patience are al
ways important in the dairy
barn, but doubly so when ham
ding the young heifer.

ARE WOMEN SLAVES OF EMOTION.

Miss Laura Clay, of Kentucky, and Miss
Mary Johnston, of Richmond, presented the ar
guments in favor of equal suffrage Tuesday
night in a masteriy-or shall we say mis-
tressfy?-manner. The question was ably dis
cussed and forcefully set forth Many must
have felt that the last word had been said on
the subject when these two advocates of the
cause had completed their speeches and yet
to- one not convinced of the logic of their po-
stion, but possessed of mind open to con-
viction both speakers failed to give enlight-
eminent on one essential point.
Many of the objections to granting the suf-
frage to women can be characterized only as
silly and absurd Miss Johnston, who under
took to state and answer briefly many of those
arguments, handled them effectively. The straw
men put up by anti-sufragists she disposed Of
in approved fashion, and when she had finished
the straw scattered all over the audi
torium Other objections are worthy OF more
consideration. They may be futile, but they at
least possess the outward governing of rea-
son. Many OF these Miss Johnston also sue

| touch upon and one of those which she die
undertake to handle she failed to sweep aside
The Vrginian it not prepared to deny to wo
man the constitutional right to the ballot. but
1t confesses that 1t has grave doubts as to Its
expediency. OF it's reason for these doubts
one will suffice here. 1t is this: Are not wo
men too emotional properly to exercise the
right of suffrage?
Miss Johnston stated this objection in her
address Tuesday night, but she did not dis
pose of 1t as effectively as of the others. She
contented herself with saying that she was
rot sure that hers is the sentiment Pos
sibly she is not sure, but a statement to that
lustrate her point she told of a conversation
with a Washington man in which the latter
iEveighed against woman suffrage the
ground that women are too emotional and
later in discussing politics in general, de-
clared that what need Is more sentiment
in politics." This apparent Inconsistency on
the part of Miss Johnston's anti-surragist
friend naturally struck her hearers as humor-
Gus, but it did not prove that women are not
too emotional for the exercise of the right of
suffrage. 1t did not even prove that the man
inconsistent. To borrow smile from
the good doctor of divinity of the Bull Moose
party, cup of coffee may need sweeteniug,
but that is no reason why one should pour the
contents of the sugar bowl into the cup.
Moreover there is difference between senti-
ment and emotonalism. To continue the
smile the coffee may need sugar, but that is
reason why we should pour the syrup can
into it. We may need sentiment in politics,
but that is no argument in favor of making it
all sentiment or mostly emotionaIism.
If women are the slaves OF emotion to the
extent many think them to be- 1T is greatly
to be doubted whether to grant them the bal
lot would make for the good of the country.
If they are not too emotional and this can be
shown the cause of equal suffrage will he

Johnston nor Miss Clay proved that they are
not and In this particular their addresses were
unsatisfying to many who are in doubt

GOVERNORS ACTION RIGHT.

The action of Governor Mann in granting
respite to Floyd and Claude Allen will meet
with general approval. 1t ia both humane
and right.
This second respite does not change the
facts; ii does not change the guilt or inno-
cense of the men Governor Mann has merely
decided TO give them the full benefit of the
law with every possible chance to disprove
their guilt and mis- action does not indicate
what are his views on the question of ultimate
Communication of sentence.
The respite is peculiarly timely as the con-
demned men had been buoyed up with hope
by the agitation in favor of Communication and
a decision within two days of the time set for
the execution would not have given them suf-
deient time in which to prepare for death.
By his action Governor Mann shows dis
position to give the condemned every
chance afforded by the law and leaves himself
free to act on the question of Communication
when it shall come before him for final de-
cislon without being subjected to the charge
of persecution should he decide against the pc
titoners.
