Farmer Becoming an Aristocrat ?
(By George Weymouth

That question makes you smile, per-
haps.
Yet only the other day | heard a
thoughtful man risk his reputation as
prophet, aging something like this:
"You can't keep actual class distinc-
tious out Of q nation, whatever you may
do in theory.
"And the inevitable readjustment OF
American life is making an aristocracy
out of our land owners.
s'In the future We business and pro-
fessional men will take of our hats to
the farmer"
| His hearers smiled, of course-just as
you are smiling.
And yet-the matter inspires thought.
In all the older countries OF the
world, where class distinctions do main
tain, land owners are simonpure mem
bers of the aristOcracy.
Why should the tendency in America
be different?
Twenty years ago the so-called "busi-
ness" element undoubtedly turned up u
scornful nose at the farmer.
Every white shirted man in town
thought, even if he didn't say, that the
farmer was his social inferior.
All the village art-alecks took their
Il ng at the granger.
The comic artists depicted him with
hayseed in his bair-carrying carpet
bag and chewing a straw.
Humorous writers used to turn out
tons of "hey rube" literature, and the
farmer was stock joke, like the mother
ip-law and the hobo.
But the farmers place in the commu'
nifty has changed.
Ninety, eight percent of the harried
and work driven drudges in the city re-
gard the farmer with downright envy.
The townspeople mention him with
respect.
SO, on second thought, perhaps the
man who pictured the farmer as CON-
ing aristocrat was not bad prophet.
The high schools, the state universi-
ties, the libraries, the agricultural col
leges, these are bringing culture to the
farmers sons and daughters.
The inevitable increase in the price oil
land and farm products, and a more sci
entfic agriculture-these are bringing
prosperity.
And when you have culture and
wealth, what essential element of aristoc'
racy Is missing?
Only one-that group Of characteris-
tics embraced In the word "honOr"-
truth, and courage, and simplicity, and
kindness.
And these the farmer-as clsss-hai
always had. 49,,
The farmer has climbed far within
the memory of middle aged men.
It Ia not . wild guess to imagine him
at the top of the social pile within an
other generation.

Music Of the Chinese.

Chinese music does not entirely lack

the Chinese were the first In the his

octaves, n circle Of fifths and various
other harmonical technics. and these In
the days when our ancestors had not

Computing Rations for Dairy Cattle.

In most cases the largest direct ex.
pense for runninga dairy herd Is for
feed. Everyone familiar with the pre-.
vailing conditions, knows large amount
of feed is used without producing the
returns 1t should. 1t would be safe to
say that the average yearly milk produc-
tion per COW could be increased one
half by following better methods OF
feeding.
In producing milk, COW may be
looked upon In a way as milk produc-
ing machine, which the feeder supplies
with certain amount of raw material In
the form Of feed, and this raw material
Is manufactured into milk. Everyone
that feeds animals should thoroughly
comprehend that first of all the animal
must use certain proportion Of its food
to maintain the body. This is the first
requirement of the animal and 1t is the
first use to which it puts it's food. This
is called the ration of maintenance, and
it is practically the same whether the
animal is being utilized for maximum
production or Is merely kept without
producing any milk at all.
In the case of any ordinary dairy cow,
this ration of maintenance amounts to
from fifty to sixty percent of all she can
consume. In the case Of heavier pro-
ducing animal, this ration of mainte-
nance amounts to from forty to fifty per-
cent of the total feed of the animal. 1t
should be clear that after going to the
expense of giving the animal the ueces-
sary amount to keep her alive, it is the
poorest economy to refuse to furnish the
other forty or sixty percent which she
would utilize exclusively for milk pro-
duction. On the average farm, this is
one of the most common mistakes
made.
The COW being adapted by nature for
consuming bulky rations does not feel
satisfied unless there Is sufficient bulk to
the ration An animal that is fed too
much grain in proportion to the amount
of roug hness may seem hungry, while
she really has sufficient amount OF nu-
trients, but so concentrated that 1t does
not seem to have sufficient bulk. The
cow should be fed practically all the
roughness she will eat up clean at all
times. The difference in the rations fed
to cows producing different quantities OF
milk should be in the grain ration.
The most accurate means OF deter
mining the ration needed Is by calcula-
tion based upon the feeding standards.
However, the following rules are OF SER
vice as general guide to practical feed
ing:
First, feed all the roughness the cows
will eat up clean at all times.
Second, feed one pound grain per day
for each pound butterfat produced per
week, or one pound grain daily for each
three to four pounds of milk.
Third, feed all the cows will take
without gaining in weight. S. Cor
bett, Professor of Animal Industry,
