A new means of entertaining IT'S pa

augurated by the passenger depart

The searchlight has been placed on
the fast mail trains of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railway between
Minneapolis and Chicago, and the Sc
attic officials of the Milwaukee are now
considering the plan of placing this
searchlight service on it's crack trans
continental train, the Olympian. The
searchlights in use for this purpose
throw beam three miles. 1t is ex-
pected that this innovation will meet
with much popularity as has the

And the reports which come to Wash
ington of the doings of China's first
duly elected legislative body indicate
that this feeling on his part is pretty
well justified. Yuan is surrounded by
men Of the old school-Tuan Chi Jul,
the minister of war, who was in the

in the graces of the Manchus: Hsiung

While China became republic with

THE IDEAL RATION
FOR A DAIRY COW
Roughage and Concentrates First
Requisites-Nutrition and
Plenty of Water Needed.
Gy 4. II. Nystrom. Dairy Hushnnd
mnn, Washington Experiment
StntiOn.D

1t is not possible to give a ration
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 (soiling
crop, hay, silage, roots, etc, etc. she
will eat up clean, and one pound of
concentrates (bran, chop, all kinds of
grain, soye 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.
The second requisite in an ideal ra-
ton Is that it should be nutritious.
The ration should be sufficiently bulky
on the one hand to fully distend the
stomach 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 has shown that
proper balance 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 concen-
Irates.
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
liability, it Is certainly true that of
two feeds alike in all other 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
large amount of water to drink, but
aside from this there is demand for
feeds containing a high percentage of
water, such as green forage, silage,
roots, etc. The cows digestion is kept
in much better tone when such feeds
are used.
TO haVes an exact balance between
the protein and the carbohydrates and
fats is not so important as was once
thought; for milk production it is nee
essary to have larger amount of pro-
tein than for beef animals, but dairy
ration is now considered fairly salts
factory If the nutritive ratio falls any
where between 1:4.4 and 1:6.5.
Last of all the ideal ration should
nish the largest amount of digestible
nutrients at the lowest cost. This ne
cessitates the liberal use of home
grown feeds with proper selection of
those which must be purchased.

minister of the Olympia circuit, when

week with the assignment of preachc-

there and also the church at Tenino,
Rev. J. w. Blackwell was retained at
the YeIm church. The churches at
Tum water and Bucoda are to be sup

The retention of Rev. c. A. Bowen
as pastor of the local church was high
ly pleasing not only to his own con-
gregation but to residents of the city
in general and particularly to his fell
low ministers. Rev. Mr.. Hopkins, who

price for their efforts.
This is one of the most vital queS-
tions which confronts the citizens of
Raymond today. The average prOduc-
er is not looking for extreme high
prices but a reasonable price that will
take care of his entire product. IT this
could be done in some systematic and
satisfactory manner, the price of all
sorts of produce might be lessened and
still the profits for the truck farmers
would be much greater than they are
now.
This question should have the earn
est consideration of every business
man and citizen Of Raymond. The
prosperity of this community is as
much dependent upon the proper So
luton of this problem as it is of the
right solution of any other one of the
great problems that now confront us.
The Review is anxious to have prop
err discussion of this question and shall
be pleased indeed to receive communi-
cations from anyone who may have.
suggestions to offer.
There Is the view of the man who
built Raymond. 1t is not only the far

must change before the business men
of this Pacific Northwest-farmers,

whatever they are--can derive the re-
turns from their labor and investment
that they should.
