BALANCED RATlONS FOR cow
Department Of Agriculture Gives Out
Report of Experiments Made at
the Illinois Station.

A report showing the difference in
value of balanced and unbalanced
ration for cows according to expert
ments made recently by the Illinois
station has reached the department of
agriculture.
Nine cows fed for 131 days a nu-
tritive ratio of 16 consumed 50.S3 Of
digestible matter per 100 pounds of
milk. A similar lot fed a nutritive ra-
ton of LII required 6S.14 pounds of
digestible matter per 100 pounds of
milk produced. The total amount of
milk produced for the two herds was
1888 and 26,S3909 pounds of milks,
respectively. The first lot consumed
1879 pounds and the second lot 1892
pounds of digestible nutrients per
pound of milk fat produced. The ra.
lions consisted of corn silage, clover
hay. and ground oats supplemented by
gluten fed in the narrow ration and
timothy hay in the wide ration. Be
cause of the lack of protein in the ra
ton fed lot 2, the other nutrients were
not used to the best advantage. This
shows in a striking manner that ar
excess of carbohydrates can not bt
made to take the place of a deficiency
N protein.

OF sI7l5. but none other COWS make a
very small profit from s1.21 to s.93.
Just six cows return profits that
should be expected. from s21.35 to
$3.50. No cows producing less than
SIG profit per year should be retained.
Had this herd consisted of ten cows
like the best one, the owner would
have made a $40 profit instead OF
s26S.44 for the year.
Herd No. 2 had "a cows that
averaged 4.233 pounds of milk and
1853 pounds of butterfat, and made a
total profit of s6479-only s19l pei
COW for the year. Fifteen OF these
cows were kept at a positive loss to-
falling s101.S7. and only four cows
had as much as SIG profit. If the
owner had MIXED only these four cows
he would have made more money and
would have saved the labor of caring
for the other 30.
Herd No. had IL COWS, every one
Of which shows a profit above SIG and
IN average profit of s41.66.
Herd No. had Is COWS which av-
erage only 3.147 pounds of milk and
124 pounds of buttergat- Ten of these
cows were kept at an actual loss and
the best COW made a profit of only
S10.21. The total loss of this herd was
$112.3s, or s7.4s per COW.
Herd No. had 13 cows averaging
s.62S pounds OF milk and 326 pounds oil
butterfat. making a total profit oil
$553.84 and an average of s42.60 per
COW. And the best four COWS in this
herd made a profit of s244, which is
more than the total profit of the whole
three herds. l. 2, and 4, containing "a
COWS and returning only 1921 profit in
year. Although a grade herd. its
lowest COW returned a profit of s22.6O
which is more than twice that of the
best COW in herd No 4.

Protection Of Crops.

Tho one question above all others
over which the farmer. fruit grower
and gardener should show concern is
the protection of his crops from the
attacks of insect pests and fungus dis
eases. 1t is estimated that over one
sixth of the years crops of the coun-
try are destroyed through the depre-
dations of plant diseases. 1t stands
the farmer well in hand to protect his
crops from the liability of injury by
practicing spraying at the right time
or the treating Of farm seed before
planting.

Some Chats With Folks
On Things OF Interest

Hunt up your cabinet photo of John
Drew as he appeared in 1883 and you
viii have before you the best obtainabIe
fashion plate for 1913-14, hat, shoes
and haberdashery included. The straight
back short coat with round corners
small lapels. the tight-seat and sailor
leg trousers are coming back. You
must wear the 1888 model if you care
to be in style this fall
Our authority is f. Barelli, gentle
mems tailor, who submitted to an in
terview in his establishment over in
the old Holman block at the four cor
ners. His Views on mems clothing are
unique and interesting for they vary
from the ones expounded in monthly
magazines which lead one to believe
that the coat and trousers of today are
unbecoming and. outlandish and that
the male human would appear to more
advantage incased i'll satin knee pants
and buouses with silk, ruffles and flub
dubs.
Mems Clothes o. X.
That's all poppy cock redicuted Mr.
Barelli. Tailoring for men has adj
vanced even farther than for women.
The clothes we wear now are genteel,
sensible and comfortable unless you en-
deavor to wear winter suits in GUNNER
Men would look like tops in the dress
of the Elizabethian period and IL is silly
to think that we are ever to return to
1t. Neither will women. The hoop skirt
is relegated to the past as decidedly as
the hobble."
Greens, scotchy greens. and browns
tannish browns, are to be the prevailing
colors for men. The greens are gone
and the only navy blues of last sea-
| son remain.
| According to Barelli coats will be
short and straight and their greatest
virtues the fit in the shoulder and the
| lay of the breast The pants will fare
at the bottom and NO CUFFS WILL BE
| WORN Absolutely not.
Cheap mt Any Price.
Chincilla overcoats are back after
a year or two in the discard. They will
cost from $40 to se5 and the limitations
that will be on the market late in the
season less than half that price. The
| Wilson salt and pepper suit is still a
craze and Barelli says that every tail
or is loading up with the imported
gods The fad started when President
Wilson appeared the day after his in
auguration in a suit OF that pattern.

Keep the flies from your baby-they

the fly brings, baby leaves you. L have
been watching the work of deadly flies
for many years. l know two families

families were neighbors-one lady
