The above article comes from a
different part of the universe than
we expected. 1t was in the Troy
News under the head Of Deary
Items. Now from the wording of
the first part of the article we al
most guess who wrote it but are
not sure. Anyway, if that is the
way the Deary people feel toward
their Editor, we have nothing to
say only ship him and get one that
is alive. We won't say a word,
nor will we offer any more assis-
lance. We only did it thinking he
was being imposed upon.

FOR NUMBER PLATES
Best Color for LegibiIity Has Been a Much- Discussed
 Matter.
RESULTS OF RECENT TESTS
Black on a Yellow Background Seems to Give the Most Satisfaction Some Combinations That Have
 Been Chosen by the
 Various States.

The problem of legibility of num- Der plates which are being issued dur ing the present month to motor car owners in nearly all the states is one that has periodically agitated the li- cense officials for some time past. writes Francis NJ. Hugo, secretary of the state of New York Recently ex- periments were conducted to deter mine the most conspicuous color com imitation for both plate and number, which the laws in most common wealths require to be distinctly differ ent each year and of marked con trast at all times.
 The results of these tests have dem onstrated that the most legible color plates is black upon a yellow back ground, with white upon green as next choice. For the current year the former has been selected in New York and Oregon, Connecticut prefer ring yellow numerals upon a black background, but reversing this for commercial cars. Similar combina- tions were adopted in Iowa. where number plates have been issued bear ing black figures upon a canary vel low surface.
 The license officials in these states have chosen the latter combination, New Hampshire adopting green fig ures on white, Indiana selecting green on pink. while New Jersey has blend ed white figures on a dark green background. In North Dakota black numbers appear on turquoise green. Ohio and Rhode Island have decided upon white background with black letters and figures, Wisconsin and Wy oming selected the reverse-white on black background
 Blue still remains a popular color. being used in four states, Kansas, Michigan, Maryland and Massachu- sets, each selecting white upon a blue background. while turquoise blue background with white numerals ls the choice Of Pennsylvania. In Kentucky and Idaho the plates bear red numerals embossed upon white. the exact opposite being chosen in New Mexico. Mississippi has issued aluminium tags with black embossed figures, while Washington has light colored numbers in a dark back ground.

RECORD OUTPUT DURING SHORT
 MONTH.

Cripple Creek-The output of .he Cripple Creek district for the short month of February totaled 72,166 tons, with gross bullion value of Si,3i5.- 66l.40. showing a big increase and establishing new recent year record. The average value per ton was $1S.65.
 A high average is shown for the ore treated at the mill of the Golden Cycle Mining Company in Colorado Springs. This increase is directly due to the rich Cresson mine shipment.
 Dividends were paid during Febru- ary by the Golden Cycle Mining Com pany of s15.O00, and the Eikton Con- solidated of S50,000, total of SIPS, ,000. The Cresson Consolidated, close cor. poration, is also believed to have paid an increased dividend.

WINTER FEED FOR THE COWS
Important for Dairyman to Provide an Abundance of Different Feeds to
 Keep Up Milk Flow.

By R. G. WEATHERSTONE)
 During the winter months it is gen. food as is necessary for the dairy COW to keep up the regular flow of milk.
 At this season of the year feed is generally scarce-the proper kind for the dairy cow-and that which we have on hand is often of an inferior quality.
 After coming off the green fresh grass they do not relish such dry feed and being of an inferior quality one will soon notice a great decrease in the flow of milk.
 For this reason it is very important for the farmer to try to provide an

TASK OF DEH0RNING CATTLE
Operation Is Most Frequently Per formed to Prevent Animals From
 lnjuring Each Other.

Cattle have been dehorned since about 1790. The operation sometimes is performed to remove horns that are broken or otherwise injured. but most frequently it is to prevent horned ami. mals from injuring one another. Usu- ally it is considered justifiable on ac- count of the benefits that are derived from the operation,
 The growth of horns on calves may be prevented entirely by the liberal use of a strong solution of ordinary lye; or if the use of solution is not desirable it can be purchased at drug stores in the form of sticks known as piled immediately after birth to the place where the horn makes it's ap- pearance. Care should be exercised when using this remedy because the lye will eat away all the skin with which it comes in contact.
 Various kinds of instruments are used for the removal of the horns of older animals. If an ordinary saw is used it should be sharp and fine, as this lessens the danger of splintering the bones of the head during the oper- ation. If a large number of animals are dehorned, quicker and safer work can be done with a "dehorning in- strument." This can be purchased of any veterinary supply company for $750 to s10.
 It is best not to dehorn during the fly season. Sometimes the horn is cut close to the head and cavities are opened which become filled with mag. gots if flies are prevalent The ami nal suffers intensely, if this happens. and there is a rapid loss in condition If cavities are accidentally exposed a small piece of cotton, smeared with tar, may be applied to the wound and held in place by means of . bandage around the head. This also is of great value if excessive bleeding follows the operation. If maggots gain entrance to the cavities of the head they should be washed out with a weak, wateTy solution of ordinary dip.

abundance of different feeds to make up for this dry or inferior feed.
 Of course the flow of milk cannot be kept up to what they give during the spring and summer when pastured, but with plenty of frst-class hay, such as alfalfa and good clover, and fine feed of bran and corn meal kept on hand that it may be fed liberally two or three times day as slops, there will not be so much decrease in the milk supply after all That is, if it is given to them liberally and regularly.
 Do not think it is waste to feed such feed when there isn't anything but dry hay of some kind to feed on. On the latter. the COW can barely the milk supply.
 When we have good clover hay and alfalfa, not so much of the bran, fine feed or meal is required, as both, when cured properly. are very strong feeds and cattle thrive on them.
 l am not going to attempt to give the amount that should be fed, as I leave that for the dairyman to decide for himself. What l wish to impress upon the readers mind is this: The necessity of having on hand always a liberal supply of bran, meal, fine feed, etc. to go with the dry hay or corn fodder, which is generally of an in- ferior quality, fed at this season of the year.
 Without the above feed mentioned, it is impossible for the dairyman to obtain good results during the season when cattle are not pastured.

 In Idaho Springs district shipments by Manager Wiley, for the month of January, reached 115 tons, while the amount paid out for the ore was over $35,000. This is an increase of 10 per cent both in tonnage and value over that of January, 1914.
 At Cripple Creek the Komet Leas- ing Company, under the management of Matt Korff, is doing considerable development work on a block of Isa- bella ground on the Lee shaft. The ore house of the Isabella is now taxed to it's fullest capacity to take care of the numerous shippers on that prop erty.
 Cripple Creeks total production of $340, 100000 in gold in twenty-three years will be increased to nearly $360.- 100000 by the time Colorado's premier gold camp reaches its twenty-fourth year, if the rate of yield that has been set thus far continues. This will mean a total output of $20.O00.o 900 during the year.

lem has been solved in a simple little attachment easy to attach and modest as to cost. It is nothing more or less than little reflector, designed to be placed under the electric bulb on a headlight, whereby the light rays are prevented from being cast upward and outward and thus will not annoy even the pedestrian, much less the driver of an approaching car.
 In parabolic lens the light rays are defected by the reflector; that is, they pass from the bulb upward to the re- Hector, then are defected outward and downward, and also from the bulb downward to the reflector, and then defected outward and upward. By placing a small defector under the

light bulb. snapping it on around the socket, the light rays are not per mitted to reflect downward to the re- Hector and consequently cannot be defected upward and outward to an- noy people. On the other hand, they are permitted to be defected outward and downward. and also to be inten-
 sified because of the greater amount of light going in this one direction. It is in no sense dinner, but rather, as stated. increases or intensifies the rays that are cast downward and out ward on the road.
