A motorist writes that at the ex-

draws out the water and runs into
the radiator a quart of denatured al

the alcohol into the bottle and refills

KEEPING UP THE MILK
FLOW.
By W. NJ. Regan.

The amount of cream sold by
Missouri farmers has diminished
about one-third during the last
three weeks. This decrease is
largely due to the recent severe
drouth that has dried up the pas
lures. Only those COWS that
have received some feed besides
pasture grass have kept up their
usual June milk flow. The far
mer VINO allows his cows to huS
tie for themselves on the parched
pastures is making a mistake.
Not only is it hard on the pas
lures but it is false economy to
allow the cows to drop Off in
milk yield in order to save a few
dollars on the feed bill The
grass, especially the bluegrass
must get its new growth from
the roots, and if it is to make the
best growth possible and pro
duce the largest amount of feed
it must be allowed to get d fair
start. Grass grows much more
rapidly after it is up d couple of
inches than when it Is closely
cropped. By observing this
point favorable weather condi-
tions will result in good ate pas
lures. In order to take advan-
tage of these late pastures and
to profit by the higher price OF
butterfat which is paid in the fall
and winter the milk yield of the
COWS must be kept up, for if it
is allowed to drop off it can never
be regained. Money spent for
feed that does not return a profit
now will do so later.
