CORRECT TIME FOR FEEDING
Better Results Secured by Giving Full
Feeds In Morning and Might
Mix Salt With Grain.

Many feeders seem to think that
the oftener they can coax the cows
to eat the better, but l believe that
better results may be obtained by
feeding full feeds in the morning and
at night and light feed of hay about
noon, says a writer in an exchange.
We feed silage, grain and hay in the
completed, light feed of hay at noon
to induce the cows to walk directly to
their places when they come In from
the yard, and repeat the morning feed
at night, Immediately after milking.
We have found it better not to feed
the cows before milking time, and
more especially when silage is being
fed, as it is likely to impart bad
odor to the milk.
The amount of salt to feed depends
upon conditions. We feed more salt
than many dairymen, for the reason
that when feeding corn silage we have
difficulty In getting the cows to drink
sufficient water, unless they have
plenty Of salt.
It may be one OF the writer's no.
tions, but there seems to be some
thing about the slightly acid condition
of the silage that satisfies the cows
thirst, and for that reason we mix salt
with the grain feed. One ounce day
is fed to each COW in her grain ration,
and once q week we give them some
In their managers.
We have water basins by the side
OF the cows, but the animals are
turned out every day in the year
while the stables are being cleaned
and aired out. Our yards are well
sheltered, and we seldom leave them
out more than three-quarters Of an
hour. They are turned out in groups
of ten or twelve and made to stay
out until we are ready for them to
come to their places. On very cold
days they are not kept out long
enough to get chilled.

The loafers, the cows that consume
more than they return, are quickly

his own time or pay high priced labor
to milk cows which do not pay for
their board. Let's make the 500 re.

To build up profitable herd the
cow test is indispensable. 1t enables
the dairyman to quickly get a high

MYSTERY IN DESCLAUX

Army Paymaster, Accused Of Send

PARIS, January 2s.-The case of
Francois Desclaux, the army pay
master and formerly chief secretary to
NJ. Caillaux, the former minister Of
finance, who was arrested on a charge
of stealing military stores. is the sub

in political circles. There remains a

could there be in providing her with

found by the military police in her

will be that Desclaux. who Is entitled

surplus of supplies, she in return send
