TRIBUTE TO HIS MOTHER

1 think back through the years, the
lean and the fat, the good and the bad
ones, to my earliest recollection. I
see a woman with an eye that flashes
swift as an archangel's wing and a
mouth that breaks with laughter, and
hardens at sight Of wrong, singing lul-
labies; woman who, with hand grasp
ing the Unseen Hand, walks the brier-
bordered paths Of life unashamed, un-
afraid, unharmed. She is clad i'll gar
ments of beauty for me, and age does
not soil them, nor years make them
cheap and tawdry. Her tongue is
without guile, having never been the
messenger of a lie. It is seventeen
years since her soul went home to
God and her fingers became for me
the fingers of an angel, but I have not
forgotten all she said. She told me
there was Santa Claus, and I believe
her. He brings me no longer drums
and flies. But he still brings to me
the vision Of my mother and the music
Of that angelic chorus which sang at
creation IS dawn and at the hour Of
mans redemption. - Vice President
Thomas r. Marshall.

diti0nal four pounds Of milk For sup
plying this additional nutrient material
in a concentrated form a combination
of four parts corn chop, two parts bran
and one part cottonseed meal would
probably be the most satisfactory ra-
ton. One pound of this mixture would
supply ~ pound of digestible protein,
80 pound digestible carbohydrage and
5 pound fat. Ten pounds Of addi-
tional milk would require about four
pounds Of this mixture, or, in other
words. a COW that is capable of pro-
ducing thirty-five pounds of good aver
age milk can be fed fifteen pounds of
alfalfa hay. thirty or thirty-five pounds
of corn si]age and four pounds of this
grain mixture. If the extra grain fed
with this roughage ration should be
cottonseed meal only. much more di-
gestible protein would be supplied
than would be needed for milk pro-
duction. Since ccttonseed meal is more
expensive than cornmeal or bran. such
a ration would necessarily be less eco
nomical than the properly balanced ra-
tion suggested.

BALANCED RATIONS \.
FOR DAIRY COWS

In order to economically feed dairy
COW it is always desirable to supply as
much of the nutrients required in the
roughage part of the rations as pos
sible. says the Kansas Farmer. Alfalfa
hay contains relatively much larger
amounts of protein than corn silage.
Both are very palatable forms Of
roughage and in combination form a
most satisfactory and economical basis
for a milk producing ration. For a
cow of moderate production giving in
the neighborhood Of three gallons of
milk a day, fifteen pounds Of alfalfa
hay and all the corn silage the cow
will consume, which will ordinarily
amount to thirty or thirty-five pounds
daily. will supply sufficient digestible
nutrient material for the production of
this quantity of milk.
In order to produce larger quantities
of milk if COW has a capacity for pro-
ducing more milk. it will be necessary
to supply additional nutrients. Addi-
tional roughage cannot be consumed, so
the extra nutrients required must be
supplied in more concentrated form.
It is commonly estimated that about
one pound Of a properly balanced grain
mixture must be supplied for each ad-

How Much Seed Corn to Select.

It will require about seventeen ears
Of corn per acre to plant three kernels
per hill in thick rowed corn. If you
list. it is the editors Judgment that no
more seed than this should be used on
average good upland. and the kernels
should be dropped as nearly as possi-
bic one in a hill and the space should
be as equally distributed us possible.
Remember. however. that in selecting
the corn in the field you go over it
rather hurriedly. When winter comes
and you look the ears over carefully
you will find many that will not suit
you OF those that do suit number
may not grow strong. unless the corn
is properly dried and stored. A good
rule is to select twice as many ears
from good plants in the field as are
needed to plant the required number
of acres next year. This allows a very
close selection to be made during the
Winter.-kansas Farmer. ..'

Houuinq OF Corn.

There is no better way to fatten
hogs with profit to the owner than to
turn them loose in the cornfieid and
let them pick the corn themselves.
Experimentation has proved and the
experience of practical farmers In all
parts Of the state is that this method
ia a profitable one: Every one who
has tried it agrees that it is an eco
nomical method of fattening pork:
The time required to husk and crib
the corn is saved. Not only that. but
the hogs get the corn when 1t is fresh
and more relished. More pounds of
pork can he made from bllshel of
corn by 'hogging OFF, than by eating
husked corn.-Oranye Judd Farmer.

Springfield Republican: - The dis
honest advertiser is being attacked
from all sides nowadays, land the idea
grows that telling lies in order to sell
goods it not very far from stealing.
That is the way the great majority
OF advertisers feel about it; if some
of them transgress it is because they
feel driven into it by the practices
Of the less scrupulous, and they would
welcome a square deal for all. In
some of the western states the law
makers are taking advanced ground
in this matter, and we note the fine
of $50 just imposed upon a storekeep-
er at Everett, Wash, for selling a
fountain pen that had not formed a
part of a stock advertised as having
belonged to another dealer. Misrep-
resentation of this kind has become
much too common in retail trade. In
scne cases no great harm is done;
tha goods sold are worth what is ask
ed for them, and the misrepresenta-
+ion is simply a way of exciting the
interest and expectation Of the public.
But too often under such cover some
wretched trash is worked off. Against
;mnoeiticns Of this sort the public is
fairly entitled to protection.
