sILAGE FOR YOUNG ANIMALS
II Has Very Beneficial Effect Upon
System In Keeping Digestive
Organs In Condition.

Silage plays very important role
in the most economical and efficient
ration for young. growing dairy ami
mails. states a recent bulletin from the
Iowa station. 1t has very bene-
fetal effect upon the system in keep
ing the digestive organs in the best
condition and as an aid in developing
large digestive capacity.
In attaining this last effect 1t is ma
terially aided by alfalfa or clover hay
When these feeds are given 1t is not
necessary to feed very much grain to
the animals after the end of the first
year. A good winter ration for year
ling dairy heifers is corn silage. If
teen to twenty pounds, alfalfa or
clover hay. eight to ten pounds grain
mixture consisting of equal parts
corn, oats and bran. two pounds.

FEED FOR cows IN PASTURE
Early Pasture Has Stimulating Effect
on Milk and Butter Production
Hay and sIIage Help.

Cows that are turned into early
spring pasture are benefited greatly
IL fed as much hay and silage as they
will eat, is the opinion of Professor G..
@. Humphrey of the college of agri-
culture ofthe University of Wisconsin.
He gives the following advice to dairy
men:
Spring pasture has stimulating eff.
feet on milk and butter fat production.
and the amount of milk and butter fat
is increased quite appreciably even
though a decrease In live weight may
occur. This increase In production is
greater where hay and silage are fed
than where pasture alone constitutes
the feed. When cows are withheld
from grass until 1t becomes very good
they may refuse hay and silage, but
ordinarily 1t Is believed to be the best
plan to supplement early spring pas
ture with hay and silage in such guam
titles as cattle will eat. Losses IN
live weight which occur during the
spring pasture season have to be made
up later, and usually at the expense Of
production and the interests of the
owner.
During a period Of nine years It
has been noted that on the average
81 per cent. Of the COWS Of the univer-
sity dairy herd decreased in body
weight during the two weeks follow
ing the time they were turned to pas
ture. The amount OF shrinkage va
ried according to what the cows were
fed in addition to pasture. During two
respective years when hay and silage
were not fed in addition to pasture a
marked average shrinkage in weight
OF 81 and 95 pounds was observed.

In scandinavian legend Frithiofs

pointed out on a hill at Balesholm.
The kaiser has given to Norway a
statue Of him also, and earlier In July

A peace monument will be erected
next year on the boundary line be-
tween Sweden and Norway In memory
Of 100 years of uninterrupted peace be-
tween the(two countries About 10000
Swedish men and women have con-
tributed to the monument fund, which
means that the Swedes have already
raised their share of the expenses.
The movement became more popular
In Sweden the longer the work was
carried on. The Norwegians have not
raised the full amount OF their share
of the expenses yet, but the work is
progressing in fine shape. Many Swed-
ish and Norwegian artists and archi-
tects are competing for the honor OF
furnishing the monument. II is said
that the judges OF awards will meet
in the latter part OF August to make
a selection.

SUITABLE BREAKFAST DISHES.

Breakfast Is the troublesome meal
to pr9pare. as the appetite is not at its
best and 1t is SO ATRIAL into a
rut and prepare the same things over
and over. Breakfast dishes should be
simple. wholesome, and easy of diges-
tion. The hurried breakfast is all too
common. Take time to eat a substan-
tial meal, have 1t well served and a
sufficient change to avoid monotony.
Toast--As common as this dish is it
is seldom served in perfection. The
bread should be sliced and warmed in
the oven to dissipate the moisture
then Drowned quickly on both sides
before good heath Toast should be
crisp all the way through. we'll brown
ed and free from burnt corners or
moist. soggy places In the center of
the slice. Dry toast should never be
piled but served In a rack, buttered
toast may be kept hot for a short
while over hot water.
Sausage cakes--Take a pound of
sausage meat, add to 1t a tablespoon
full of chopped parsley. a little lemon
rind and grated onion, bit Of nut
meg. and cloves, make into round fiat
cakes and put into well creased bak-
ing tin and bake for twenty minutes.
These sausages may be served with
tomato sauce and friend potatoes or
plain without any accompaniment.
An omelet Is always good break
fast dish and one may vary them in
definitely with the accompanying
sauce or with different seasonings.
Eggs and Mushrooms - Cook as
many eggs in the shell as there are
persons to serve. remove the shells
when cold and chop fine. Cook In a
small amount. of butter few mush-

turn them all into a rich white sauce

Bacon should be sliced thin, be thor

one OF our more easily digested fats
and should be often on our breakfast
tables.

NICE THINGS TO KNOW.

A cut lemon or a Bermuda onion
may be kept fresh a long time by
turning the cut side down on a plate
and covering with waxed paper.
In small kitchen where every inch
of floor space is valuable have camp
chair, and when not in use hang on
hook.
Dishes to cool on the ice are often
most unstable, use few old can rub
bers on the ice to keep the dishes from
slipping.
When filing salt and pepper shak-
ers use an orange spoon. 1t will save
spilling the salt or pepper.
When travelling with young children
and the stocking is torn or needs
mending use a piece of court plaster,
1t will serve splendid for time APP
ply the plaster dampened 10 the wrong
side of the hose.
When adding water to a vase OF
flowers. many spots on polished furni-
ture would be avoided by using
small funnel
Tennis shoes are fine for wearing
about the house when scrubbing or
cleaning floors.
A short piece of uncooked macaroni
put into berry pie in the opening
made for the escape of steam will
serve for a chimney and the juices
will not waste, but boil up In this
small funnel.
When glass shoppers are obstinate
about being removed a drop of oil
and quick tap will loosen them.
Cut the round sandwiches with a
baking powder can. Several may be
cut at time.
Bath mats may be made from cid
bed spreads when they are of heavy
quality. The lighter weight makes
good wash cloths.
A small towel and holder with a
cord attached, both fastened to the
apron belt are great helps to a busy
house mother, when cooking.
Transplant a few asters into the
vegetable garden and when the vege-
tables are gone in the fall there will
be something worth while to look at.
To try is better than the thing you try
for,
To hope is higher than the height at
tanned,
To love is greater than the love you
sigh for,
To seek is nobler than the object gained.
ITO wrestle with the anger'-this avails
Although the motive for the wrestling
fails.

Of butter in a saucepan, stir In two
tablespoonfuls of flour and when well
blended add half pint of milk, cook

cup Of grated cheese, and the beaten
yolks of five eggs. Cook long enough
to set the eggs, remove from the fire
and fold in the beaten whites. Pour

and bake fifteen minutes In moder-
ate oven. Serve piping hot. ~.

derful things must often be ready to
travel alone.

Investigations made during the past
few years have brought to light the
curious manner In which the so-called
Spring herring" is propagated. The
reproduction of most OF the known liv-
ing beings does not vary 80 very much
from one year to another. The Nor
way spring herring-and perhaps 9TH
er kinds, for that matter-are repro
cuced in enormous quantities in eer-
tain years, while in other years there
seems to be no addition to the stock.
IN 1902 and 1903, for instance, very
few, II any. herring fry were Matched
out, but in 1904 an enormous number
were hatched Most of the spring
herring caught during the years 1908
1912 were Matched in 1904, and even
in 1913 about 65 per cent OF those
caught belonged to the stock of
1904. That Is to say, they are nine
years old. 1t is known that most her
ring die before they arc fifteen years
old. Now 1t will be seen that the rich
crop OF 1904 cannot last much longer.
Moreover it is known that the produc-
ton OF new fry was small during the
years 1905-1909 All of which points
to light catch of spring herring in
Norway for a number of years in the
immediate future.
Kaiser Wilhelm superintended the
work of putting up the Frithjof statue,
which is a gift from him to the Nor
wegian people. 1t is located In Sogn,
on the longest ford in Norway.
Fisheries Director Hort last winter
made arrangements for tagging
great number of Goldfish along the
coast of northern Norway in order to
find out the movements of the fish
from time to time. The date and
place is marked on the tag so that the
finder can tell at once how far the fish
that carried 1t travelled during GER
tain space Of time. Some tagged
FISH have already been caught at great
distances from the places where the
tags were attached to them.
