FEEDING cow WHOLE GRAINS
Demonstrated by Experiment Sta
tions and Owners.

It is seldom advisable to feed whole
grain to dairy cows. This has been
demonstrated time and time again.
both by experiment stations and in
dividual dairy men and farmers. The
animals cannot make as good use of
whole grain as of grain that has been
ground. The Michigan station has
furnished some exact data on the sub
Ject that are worth attention. The
work was very carefully done and the
results reported as follows: When
whole corn was fed to cows 2275 per
cent passed through them unmasticat-
ed; when fed to heifers. 1877 per
cent, and when fed to calves, 6.2S per
cent. When whole oats was fed to
cows. 1906 per cent passed through
them unmasticated; when fed to
heifers, 5.48 per cent, and when fed
to calves. 2.9S per cent. Whole corn
and oats not masticated when fed to
cows. 26.R per cent; to heifers. 1850
per cent. and calves SIS per cent.
Chemical analysis showed practically
the same composition of grain before
feeding. Therefore it is safe to con-
clude that the animal derives no ben
eft from grain which passes through
the digestive tract unmasticated. The
results show two things: First, that
feeding whole grain to COWS and heif-
ers is a very wasteful practice; sec:
ond. that the younger animals are
more capable of masticating their
feed than older ones.

THE PRISON COMMISSION BILL.

The News wants to be perfectly
fair in its discussion of the actions
of the Legislature. In the first
place that is the honest course to
pursue. In the second place The
News IS an independent newspaper
and not inclined to craftsmanship. In
the third place only the truth in the
news or editorial columns will count
and the public soon ''gets onto i
paper That does not tell the truth.
When that happens such newspa-
per soon loses any influence it may
have and deserdely 80.
We believe fiat the bill that passed
the House at Frankfort providing for
a Prison Commission of a partisan
character in its personnel is an un
wise measure. 1t is our opinion tina
it will result in the building up Of
Just such 2 machine as that which
resulted from the administration of
the prisons by the present commits
sion. Messrs. Brown, Fogg and Me-
Cutcheon are all pleasant gentlemen
and what they have done in, seeking
TO perpetuate the power of their
commission is Just what anybody
else would have done under the same
circumstances and just what would
be done if a partisan Prison Com
missions are to take their plave, even
by appointment of the Governor. 1t
will simply be putting a powerful
ma chine in the hands Of the Cover
nor rather than in the hands of the
Legislature and we, for one, fail to
see how the conduct of the prisons
will be improved by the change.
The platform on which the Dem
ocrats were returned to power iii
Kentucky at the November election
declared in PLAIN terms for bi-par-
.isan Prison Commission and the
taking of the prisons out of politics.
We hope that such a bill will yet be
passed by both houses and that it
will be signed by the Governor. No
partisan body, however good may
be the intentions of its members, can
conduct the prisons without the
baneful influence of politics creeping
into their appointments and this was
tine chief f3nlt found with the pres
aaf Board.

from this defect is the purpose of re-
cent patents here illustrated. The dc
vice is extremely simple, resembling
in general outline the customary milk
bottle, from which it differs by having
lateral neck formed about the point
where the bottle reaches it's largest
diameter. Through this neck curved
tube Of glass, paper or other suitable
material is inserted, being free to
slide in and out a certain distance, or
to rotate about it's axis. Both necks
are closed with paper lids in the usual
way. The operation of the device is
so Straightforward as to hardly re-
quire explanation. When it is desired
to draw off the top layer of the cream
the curved tube is turned with its in
ner end directed upward. If cream
from a lower layer is required, the
tube is turned accordingly. In transit.
the tube is pushed in as far as it will

A Homemade Plant Stand.

sires to make the room more at

wheeled away and placed against
the wall, the shelves facing

In summer. when plants go out of

it will be as useful as indoors.
The design illustrated herewith is

The shelves are each eight inches

plunged. II this sand is kept moist it

Separator Milk.

Separator milk is good pig feed.
but not a perfect pig feed by any
means, and unless cornmeal and mid
dlings or ground oats is fed in thick
slop, pigs are liable to drink SO much
milk that fermentation takes place in
their stomachs instead of normal d.
gestion taking place. with the result
that they biout up and die. Don't put
medicated salt in the drink Of a pig.
1t may do to mix some in his meal.
but the best way is to mix the salt
with ashes and some charcoal and let
the pig eat it at will.

WHAT WILL CLARK COUNTY DO
