Leayen for the Loaf.

In discussing in the New York lnde-
pendent what the farmer needs In the
way Of credit, Congressman Moss, lndi-
ana farmer and member OF the House
Committee on Agriculture, incidentally
pays the following tribute To the advance
in dairy farming: ''We have charged
farmers high interest rate, and to-day
we are face to face with deficiency iu
our domestic food supply. Let US give
our farmers the necessary tools OF trade
credit without usury-and American
industry and intelligence will soon make
US the foremost agricultural nation OF
the world. Every branch of farming
will then keep pace with dairy farming,
and thus through all the years to come
our farms will feed and clothe under
American standards of living our grow
ing population"
Self analysis is good thing If one
doesn't get morbid over it, and If We are
inclined to get morbid over the investiga-
,ious in cost of milk production and the
other problems of dairy farming, let us
recall to mind that the American food
supply will be LARGELY increased when
'every branch of farming keeps pace
with dairy farming"
The same evening that we read the
article by Congressman Moss we came
across the two items given below, items
which may help to leaven up the Loaf
when the dairy dough is obstinate and
heavy.
at is estimated that the value of the
milk produced in Richland county, Wis
copsin, right now will exceed $4,000
per day, or 100000 every 100 days.
We used to wish that we lived in q gold
mining country, but there is no territory
of twenty -four miles square from which
gold is being taken at that rate. Rich'
land county has the gold producing
country beat to a frazsle because there
is no hidden mystery about the dairy
business. ."-Richland Rustic.

Gamboas.

Gamboge Is one Of the artists most
important yellows. 1t is the gum resin
of tree which bears yellow flowers
and leathery, laurel-like leaves. The
name Of the pigment indicates the
country from which 1t comes, for gam
boge is simply a corruption Of Cam
boia or Cambod.a. In this far eastern
country the tree grows wild and sheds
those sticky tears which help the
artist to paint the sunrise and the
autumn tints Of the woods. Gamboge
was brought to Europe by merchants
from the east toward the end Of the
sixteenth century.-London Answers.

Treatment of the Lost Cud.
CDR. F. L. Russell. Professor Of Bacteriology
and Veterinary Science.)

CDR. F. L. Russell. Professor of Bacteriology
and Veterinary Science)
Cattle are very subject to diseases of
| the digestive organs. When suffering
from any form of indigestion, they are
not likely to chew the cud, and 1t is
sometimes said they have lost their cud.
What they have really lost is the desire
for food, or in some cases the ability to
chew the cud. This may be serious
loss but it is only one of the symptoms
of indigestion and it is best treated by
taking means to restore the appetite,
or prevented, by using means to keep
the appetite good.
When cattle eat coarse fodder they
chew it but little and pass it down into
the rumen where it is stored, warm
ed and softened. While in the rumen
or paunch, it neither pourishes the ami
NAL nor satisfies its hunger. When hun
CRY, the animal returns this food to the
mouth, a small quantity at time, and
chews 1t fine, after which it passes to
the true stomach and is digested. Cows
do not chew the cud for pastime or
merely as a habit but because they are
hungry. As cattle are commonly fed,
they have hundred or more cuds al
ways available in the paunch, their pri-
vate storehouse. A dairy cow or grow
ing animal in vigorous health must
spend most of its time when neither
eating nor sleeping in chewing it's cud.
If she does not do so, she is sick, stops
secreting milk, loses flesh, and becomes
weak, and unless the condition is sOop
relieved, the animal dies. The treat
ment for ''lost cud" that is most effect
i've consists in so caring, for the animal
as to keep its digestive system in the
best possible order. If ii is diseased it
must be restored to health, then the cud
will be found. In this climate, many
cows on dry feed and getting little grain
and no ensilage or roots first get some
what constipated and then because OF
torpidity of the paunch, are unable to
raise cud. This condition Is most
common in cold weather when cows
are likely to be very hearty and lack
for exercise. Unless the animal is
properly treated, the condition may
continue for week or ten days, and is
likely to result fatally. This torpidity
of the digestive system due to over feed
ing on dry feed is typical form OF "lost
cud" or stoppage. Animals so affected
can nearly always be cured in week or
less without medicine or expensive treat
ment. Cover with a warm blanket, give
a dry, soft bed and withhold all feed for
to forty eight hours, and then
give but a little laxative feed, roots,
apples, potatoes, ensilage, or bran
mashes, and recovery is very sure and
fairly rapid.
While many cows die every year in the
state of Maine from this cause, which is
called "lost cud" or stoppage, if they
had been fed right in the first place or
later had been treated on common sense
they might easily have been
saved

Abe Potash Of Potash 4 Perl

thumb and finger, looking for checks.
"Well, Mawruss," he said to his part

Take your friend, Hyman Maim1n OF

or six letters he writes US, Mawruss,
when he gets the goods, but when he
got to pay for 'em, Mawruss, that's
something else again. You might think

"Quit your kicking" Perlmutter
broke In. "This is only the 10th Of

As Abe went out Of the store by the
front door IN expressman, bearing a

tically.
Morris said nothing, but picked up
the silver dish. Examining the pol

indistinct initials M. p" almost but
not quite effaced by buffing. Undoubt-
edly 1t was the same bonbon dish.
He gathered up the tissue paper and
carefully arranged 1t In the box as
bed for the silver dish. Then he put
the cover on and nailed 1t down.
"Ain't you going to let Mr.. Potash

Morris frowned.

"Oh, I guess 1t will be put back In

away.

The next morning when Morris en-
tered the store Abe was busy figuring
on the back of torn envelope.
