Balanced Ration for
Breeding Cows
BY PROF. c. N. ARNETT, Iowa State
College, In Iowa AqrlcuIturist.

College, In Iowa Agrlculturist.
A ration Of 35 pounds of corn silage
and five pounds of good clover hay
will carry the breeding COW through
the winter in fairly good and strong
condition. Add to this some concen-
trate during the last three months OF
the period of pregnancy that Will
provide more nearly the needs for the
foetal growth and we may expect a
good sized, vigorous and strong off
spring.
This ration will furnish approx
mately 845 pounds crude digestible
carbohydrates and fats with nutri-
tive ratio of 1888 The addition OF
one pound of cottonseed meal will
add 1916 pounds of crude digestible
carbohydrates and fats, giving nu-
tritive ratio of 1:74 The former ra-
ton of silage and clover would cost
approximately nine cents per day fig
ured at current prices, while the addi-
ton of the one pound Of cottonseed
meal would raise the cost to about
101b cents. There is question In
the mind Of the writer If it would not
be more economical on the whole,
when the results are considered, to
feed the cotton seed meal for five
months rather than three months, to
the breeding stock.
There are many farmers that do not
have silage or clover hay this year
and consequently must depend on
corn slower and oat straw as rough
age to carry their stock through the
winter. These feeds are home grown
and comparatively cheap when their
market values are considered, but
from the feeding standpoint for breed
| ing stock are expensive, If fed alone,
| /. e., without some concentrate to fur
nish the needed protein and ash ma
terials in which they are especially
deficient Experimental work has
demonstrated that stock can be car
ried through the winter on slower and
oats straw, but breeding COWS can
not be expected to nourish and pro
feed unless at the expense Of their
| own body tissue. ration or 2U
pounds corn fodder and eight pounds
oats straw, supplemented by two
pounds of cotton seed meal, will give
1856 pounds of crude digestible pro-
tein and 1856 pounds of digestible
carbon hydrates and fats with nutm
tive ratio of 1855, which is practically
equal to the silage and clover ration
so far as the protein carbohydrates
and fats are concerned. This ration
Will cost approximately s1a cents pc
day, figured on current prices

 Mrs. Missioner, after the ball, took in the flag end of bridge party, and stayed so late that when she returned to her home the east was striped with dawn, and the maid who had waited ID for her was sleeping soundly In chair. The widow was not yet dis posed for slumher It had been an exciting night. Her fancy had heen stimulated so greatly by her brief talk with the Swami In the ballroom lhat she was unable to turn it from .he mysterious Oriental history of the Naharanee diamond. She knew no more of the jewels past than she had related to the sage. for her hus- hand had not acquainted her with all the details connected with his acauis ton of it. Something in the Swamt's manner caused her to regard the stone with more or less aversion. She he gan to doubt the purity of it's record. Fond though she was of gems. oven to the point of being jewel worship or she was American to her finger tips. and would shrink in terror from

Yet she conld not shake off a sensation of dread whenever she mbered how intimately the jewel sx l. and rivaled the brightness of her eyes. Could it be she had worn gem whose fire WAS more suite to the glow of an inferno than to the Eden of good womsn's loveliness?
 Drawing about her shoulders a soft dow in her boudoir and sat gazing into a sky pink and gray with dayhreak trying to solve her real feelings in regard to the recovery of the Mahara. nee diamond.

Proof That Gov. Osborn
Has Not Been Idle

Gov. osborn's personal attack on
the principal owner OF the Detroit
Free Press and Journal in the special
message which he transmitted to the
legislature may have been dignified,
but these newspapers certainly had
something coming to them. They
have opposed Gov. Osborn at every
turn and have helped TO prejudice vot-
ers against the chief executive. whose
greatest crime seems 10 be that OF
possessing mind of his own. Had
he shaped his policies so as 10 make
them harmonic with these newspa-
pers they would have lauded instead
OF condemned him. but he has gone
about the job OF giving Michigan a
clean administration in his own way.
II is noticeable fact that the govern
or who accomplishes least is seldom
criticised and usually gets the accus-
toned second term without effort. The
fact that Gov Osborn has earned the
enmity of these newspapers is proof
positive that he has not been idle.
Friends OF Mr.. Stair may try 10 make
it appear that the governors attack
was not justified. but those who have
watched the attitude OF his newspa-
pers will pretty generally agree that
he had IL coming. Portland Review.

seys executive mansion, moreover,
has been fruitful and construc-
tive; he has done things and
