In the last days of the campaign the
anti-Kerr leaders learned with sur
prise that Senator McMinitry. their
state boss. was coming to Belmont for
day. They had not sent for him.
and were at loss to account for the
visit. He had not taken any one into
his confidence. merely saying, he was
coming on business. Why he should
journey from Washington to Belmont
for so short stay they could not un-
derstand. He gave 1t out that he was
making flying visit to his home. but
he came straight to Belmont. Only
two men besides the senator knew his
mission. the emissary who carried the
message to Washington and the man
who sent for him. David Kerr wanted
to see him.
1t was only three days before cleo
tion when Senator McMinitry visited
Belmont. He went to the Hotel Bel
mont and took q suite OF rooms. but
did not register. After talking to Da-
vid Kerr over the telephone, he or
dered an early luncheon for two served
In his private parlor. Kerr arrived
before the table was spread and inn
mediately began to explain the situa-
ton. All through the meal the TWO
men talked. McMinitry questioning
and Kerr explaining.
Practical politics was the business
of Senator james McMinitry Just as
1t was of Mr.. David Kerr. Jim Nc
Minitry liked to pose before the pub

Kerr preferred to sit in his dingy real

speech making and posing were like

He cared only for power. 1t was i'm
material to him how gaudy glory was

now under way. He had played fair

"Tm sorry for you, Dave, but hon.

to maintain the body? Such feeding
would certainly not be profitable.
So, In place of economizing with
the feed it would be better to give the
COWS a rich supply and get the milk
which, after all, is what we are feed
ing for.
But there comes the question Of
what is a good supply of food? We
might supply the cows with an unlim-
tied amount of food, in fact we might
supply them with all they can con-
sumo and still get no milk flow OF
worth II such food does not contain
the proper nutriment.
1t is not only bulk of food that is
necessary, but 1t is the nutritive value
of the food given that counts.
AS concentrated foods are the rich
est in food value the cows should be
supplied with such food as wheat bran
and ground corn at least twice day
with their ration.
If the dairy is not paying there is
something wrong. Either the cows are
poor or the management is poor. There
is way to make 1t pay. Let us study
our business and seek the way to make
1t pay.
