If COWS are bred so as to come-ia in
the fall they are in their best flow of
milk during the winter. BY spring,
when they begin to fall off in milk the
grass comes in to stimulate a larger
flow and they keep it up until time to
be dried off for the next calf. This
gives the nonmilking period at time
in the year when butter and milk are
the lowest
Don't be afraid to- begin feeding
early in the fall if the pastures are
short, for it does not pay to have COWS
fail in their milk at this time in the
year.
The total solids in milk are largely
dependent on the quality Of the food
given, while the richness of the in
gradients depends on the breed.

Malcolm Williams, one of the fore
most character delineators on the
American stage. makes his initial ap-
pearance in motion pictures in THE
Brute" a great, vital drama of today
and all time. THE Brute" is a pow
erful portrayal of the world-old con-
flict of the sexes. 1t is as old as the
hills, but as new as tomorrow's dawn.
The Brute" is tense drama of the
clash of wills between a strong man
and proud, avaricious woman, the
of which hangs in the balance,
until the man, in righteous indigna-
tion. exerts his strength toward the
of the woman. How he
eventually conquers her is vividly por-
trayed in the further development and
finale of this extitingly realistic dra-
