chanqinq Postoffce Doors.

The main doors at the postoffice have been changed so as tC swing outward. The chief reason for the change was because of the strong winds that blow the winter directly against the front of the building. swinging the doors inward in spite of the best and heaviest springs that could be put upon them. This made it hard to keep the lobby decently warm and also in creased the difficulty of heating the entire building.

BARREL BURNING
LIT UP THE SKY
Traditional Mode of Celebrating
 Thanksgiving in This City.

radItIonal Mode of Celebrating
 Thanksgiving in This City.
 Ancient tradition was religiously maintained by the youth of Norwich in the burning of hundreds of barrels in strings on the various hilltops of the town Thanksgiving night and burned fingers and smoked filled eyes nj no way detracted from the pleasure derived by the coming generation in all parts of the city. Thanksgiving barrel burning is a custom peculiar to Norwich and has been an institution here for a long term of years. A part of the pleasure of the barrel burning undoubtedly lies in the fact that stolen fruits are always the sweetest, , for a great part of the material for the blazing piles is in the form of ash barrels, surreptitiously appropriated from various backwards during the night hours, much to the sorrow of the housewife whose attention is of tentimes called to the theft by the piles of ashes and garbage dumped on her walks or lawns.
 That the ancient custom is in no way declining was apparent from the largo number of barrels consigned to the flames Thursday evening. One of the most extfasive illuminations took place on the Chase lot on Mount Pleas ant street, where the West Side %gang' burned nearly 300 barrels In the same section the Myers avenue gang burn ed 200 barrels One of the most no- ticeable burnings was that on the va cant lot on Jail hill. visible from near ly all parts of the city. At the top of Seventh street hill about 300 barrels were consumed and the Cliff street, Williams street and Lincoln avenue, Falls and Thamesville boys all did their part in the illumination. Several small strings of barrels were burned on Dr. l.. E. Walkers lot on Division street and the Broad street boys had 100 barrels which they burned at the rear of pr. G. A. Comeau's house on Warren street

THE IDEAL RATION FOR A DAIRY
cow,

1t is not possible to give a ration
that will suit all conditions and all
kinds of cows. In general, however,
il 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, 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
produces. 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 ration is that it should be nutri-
tious. The ration should be suffi-
GENTLY bulky on the one hand to fully
distend the stomach and other diges-
tive organs. and at the same time
there should be enough digestible ma
terial to fully meet the requirements
of the animal. Practical experience
has shown that a 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 concentrates.
In addition to this an ideal ration
| should be palatable so that an ami
NAL will eat it with a relish While
| little is known concerning the effect
of palatability. it is certainly true tina,
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 to be intim.
/ ately connected with the water con.
/ tent of the food. The COW needs G
/ large amount of water to drink, bu
aside from this there is a demand
/ Tor feeds containing a high percent
4 age OF water, such as green foliage
/ Silage, roots, etc. The cows digestion
! is kept in much better tone when sucf
feeds are used.
/ To have an exact balance between
/ the protein and the carbohydrates ant
/ fats is not so important as was one,
! thought: for milk production il is nee
eSSary 10 have n larger amount o
| protein than for beef animals. but
dairy ration is now considered fairl.
satisfactory if the nutritive ratio fall
/ anywhere between l:44 and l :6.5.
Last of all the ideal ration should b,
| composed of such feeds as will fur
nish the largest amount of digeStibl,
nutrients AT the lowest cost Thi
neCessitates the liberal use of home
! grown feeds with proper selection o
those which must be purchased.
