Whatever you have done
others will do. You are not the
only man of brains the Creator
has put into the world. You
have won present place just be-
cause you were little ahead OF
others who strove. They, too,
will reach your present place
some day and then you will be
one of class. Become satisfied
with your lot and you will cease
to strive.E Stop exercising and
you will lose the race. Stop eX-
perimenting and you will lose
the distinction of leading in your
line. Stop studying and the prize
will 90 to another. Stop attempt
ing and you will have to live on
the work you have already done.
Can you afford to do this? You
will be old before your time if
you don't keep abreast of your
competitors.s Ito win you must
keep little ahead of them.

Handling Hogs In Winter.

The successful hog growers use "A
little system in handling their fall and
winter hogs the same as they do when
handlips, other valuable stock. If the
farmer wants his pigs to grow as fast
as possible be will probably give them
a mixture of 90 per cent corn chop and
s per cent tankage the first thing in
the morning He will then slop the
herd along about 9 or 10 o'clock. He
will give the herd just enough feed at
both of these times so they will clean
it up and be slightly anxious for more
Alfalfa hay will be in evidence at all
times The hogs will be stepped again
ABOUT 3 or o'clock in the afternoon
and given chop and tankage again the

method of feeding. There are others

is that it should be nutritious. The ra-
ton should be sufficiently bulky on
the one hand to fully distend the stom-
ach and other digestive organs, and at
the same time there should be enough
digestible material to fully meet the
requirements of the animal. Practical
experience is reached when about two
thirds of the total dry matter of the
ration is in the form of roughage and
one-third in the form of concentrates.
In addition to this an ideal ration
should be palatable so that an animal
will eat it with relish. While little
is known concerning the effect of pal
atability, it is certainly true that of
two feeds alike in all others respects
the one most readily eaten by the ami
NAL will be the more effective.
The secretion Of milk seems to be
intimately connected with the water
content of the food The COW needs a
large amount of water to drink, but
aside from this there is a demand for
feeds containing high percentage of
water, such as green forage, silage,
roots, etc. The cows digestion is kept
IL much better tone when such feeds
are used, ---..-----A-,~"-.-.
. To have an exact balance between
the protein and the carbohydrates and
fat is not so important as was once
thought; for milk production it is nee
essary to have a larger amount of
protein than for beef animals, but q
dairy ration is now considered fairly
satisfactory if the hutritive ration falls
anywhere between 1:4.4 and 1875.
Last of all the ideal ration should
be composed Of such feeds as will fur
nish the largest amount of digestble
nutrients at the lowest cost. This ne
cessitates the liberal use of home
grown feeds With proper selection Of
those which must be purchased.-A. B

THE IDEAL RATION
FOR DAIRY COWS

1t is not possible to give a ration
that will suit all conditions and all
kinds of cows. In general, however.
it may be said that the first requisite
of an ideal ration for good dairy
COW is to feed all the roughage (soil-
ing crop. hay. silagc, roots. etc. she
will eat up clean and one pound of
concentrates (bran. chop, all kinds of
grain. soy bean meal. etc., for each
three to four pounds of milk she pro-
duceS. In most cases it will be found
that this will be just about all she will
eat regularly without going off feed

STSdt Improvement - seaside Sani-

Glandular tuberculosis Patients.
WallingfOrd, Conn. The state Of
Connecticut, which has been priding
itself on the excellence of its institu-
tons for the fight against tuberculosis
has much to learn from Germany, ac-
cording to the report of DR.. Stephen
j. Maher of New Haven. chairman of
the state tuberculosis commission
DR.. Maher went to Berlin to attend the
recent conference, and his report to
Governor Baldwin shows in what re-
spects Connecticut is remiss.
First Of all he pleads for a seaside
sanitarium. Germany, DR.. Maher says,
leads the world in the number and
variety of its sanitariums. This is large
ly due to the fact that half or more of
the population is enrolled in sickness
and disability insurance companies;
hence it is advantageous to the organ
izations to cure their tuberculosis pa
dents as soon as possible.
American sanitarium equipment COM
pares favorably with that which DR..
Maher saw abroad. The German sani-
tariums are of brick or stone, while in
this state they are entirely Of wood.
