The above are we'll known home
grown feeds, or feeds that can be
grown at home. Feeds can be grown
more cheaply than they can be bought
on the market. In these rations, cow
pea hay can be replaced by an equal
weight of begGarweed hay. velvet bean
hay, or any other good legume hay.
Which of these hays should be used
will depend largely on the cost of the
hay on the market, or rather on what
1t will cost to produce it. One may be
so situated as to be able to grow beg
rgarweed hay. or velvet bean hay, 10
better advantage than cowpea hay.
All of the hays in these rations are
considered to be of. good quality, cut
at the proper stage of maturity, and

Balanced Rations t t2s Dairy Cows
Ry Jehn n. sestt.

In the past few months numerous
inquiries have been received regard
ing the best and cheapest feeds for
dairy cows. The prices of feeds in
Florida ar higher this year than ever
before. Therefore the dairyman must
give enough attention to the selection
of his feeds to produce his milk at the
least possible cost. if there is to be a
fair profit for him in the dairy busi-
ness. In the lists Of rations given be-
low, home grown feeds are separate
from purchased feeds. The amount
given in each ration Is SUFFICIENT for
one days feed for q c0~- Weighing L.
900 pounds and giving about three
gallons of milk per day. DAIRY COWS
in Florida usually weigh from 600 to
800 pounds. For COWS giving a
heavier flow of milk, 1t will be neces-
sary to increase the amounts Of feed
accordingly. No attempt has been
made to estimate the cost Of these
rations, or to say which will be the
cheapest as the prices Of feeds vary
in different places. The amounts OF
each feed being given, 1t will be an
easy matter for the dairyn1en to Gals
culate the local cost OF the different
rations and in this way find out which
will be the cheapest for him TO use.

sent word from New Orleans to
the Spanish authorities at Natchez
to haul down the flag of Spain and
evacuate the country at once.
After the usual Spanish delay, on
March 80, under cover of dark
ness. and leaving everything un-
injured, the yellow banner was
pulled down and folded, and the
Spanish troops filed out and turned
their faces toward New Orleans.
The next morning-March 81,
l798-the starry flag of the re-
public went up where the Spanish
ensign had so long waved, and the
United Safes wss at last in posses

drew a memorandum book from

NANNETTE FLACK

The great secret of the success
of the German-French farce,
Alma, Where Do You Live" is
the music. This play ran = whole
season at Weber's Theatre, New
York City, and Joe Weber will
resent it with his New York Com
pany at the Bradley Opera Ho use,
Thursday, February 1st.
With that peculiar managerial
sagacity which has made him one
of the most successful of New
York producers Mr.. Weber knew
at once that this foreign farce
depended greatly for its success
TN the haunting and cloying
melodies of Jean Briquet. And
not only on these melodies, but
also on their proper interpreta-
ton.
IL was Tor THIS reason that he
used the utmost care casting the
company which will be heard here.
The prima donna role is of course
the most imprtant in "Alma."
The artist who plays the part is
responsible throughout the play for
the proper rendering of the
famous waltz song. Alma" From
a hundred candidates Mr.. Weber
selected Nannette Flack. She is
not the ordinary Broadway
musical comedy soprano. but a
skilled sand carefully trained
singer and actress.
