WINTER FEEDING FOR COWS
Good Milk FIow Cannot Be Expected
Without Feed of Right Kind
Silage Replaces Grass.

(By PROF. OSCAR ERR. Dairy Depart
ment, Ohio State University
You cannot expect cow to keep
up good milk flow without plenty of
feed of the right kind. Silage should
be used now to replace the grass ra-
tion. It is easy to forget that the
cows feed is being shortened. and if
the best returns are to be secured the
milk flow must be kept as high as
possible for ten or IL months of the
year. If it once goes down it is almost
Impossible to raise it before the next
freshening.
Less feed will be required and bet
ter results secured if good barn is
used. The dairy cow will not do her
best work when exposed to the cold
even though given plenty Of feed. 1t
is cheaper and more effective to keep
her warm by means of barn than by
extra feed.

LONG A PLAGUE TO YOUTH
SchooIboys of Many Centuries Ago
Had to Wrestle With Problems
Of Arithmetic.

The modern schoolboy may find
comfort in the fact that for 5000 years
schoolboys have been worried by just
such desperate problems in arithmetic
as annoy him most.
Among the archaeological discoveries
in Egypt is a papyrus roll, in excellent
condition, dating from a period about
1900 B. G. This roll, which has a long
heading beginning Directions how to
attain the knowledge of all dark
things" proves beyond doubt that
ough knowledge of the elements of
arithmetic
Numerous examples show that their
principal operations with units and
fractions were made by means of addi-
ton and multiplication. Subtraction
and division were not known in their
present form, but correct results were
obtained, nevertheless.
Equations are also found in the
papyrus. Here is one which brings the
Egyptian schoolboy home to us:
Ten measures of barley are to be di-
vided among ten persons in such a man
ner that each subsequent person shall
receive one-eighth of measure less
than the one before him. Another ex-
ample given is: There are seven men,
each one has seven cats, each cat has
eaten seven mice, each mouse has
eaten seven grains of barley. Each
grain of barley would have yielded
seven measures of barley. How much
| barley has been lost?
The papyrus also contains calcula-
tions of area, the calculation of the
area of circle. attempts at squaring
the circle, and finally calculation of
the cubic measurements of pyramids.

Mrs. Kokas took exceptions to his
scarf. She informed him that scarlet
hued ties are not being used in the

Mrs. Kokas was subsequently re-

plus of 131 second feet, provided we

which none advise and not merely for
the first ten miles, as on December s
Mr. POrterfield informed me that he
roughly estimated the loss by seepage
for the first ten miles to be 400 sec

Where is this $4,000 acres of water
to come from? l have found some
who are willing to deed back part of

seem to insist upon their five-eighths
of an inch per acre
Some say that we use too much,
and probably some do; it would be
folly to try to use all of ones allow
ance at all times, but it is well known
that at times during the growing sea-
son, the farmers can economically use
all of their allowance, and a shortage
means certain loss of crop.
Now this loss of 700 second feet
may seem excessive, and without
doubt there are certain parts Of the
canal that need cementing very much,
and should be attended to, and the
neglect of same is open to severe criti-
cism But when the matter of our
loss by seepage and evaporation, was
taken up in 1910, before Governor
Brady. an experienced water man. he
stated that thirty per cent was a very
reasonable estimate for our system

one-third is the more common esti-
mate, and it is we'll known that when
we are limited to our 5000 second feet,
that it is impossible to furnish the
water users their allowance
But suppose that the Commercial
club is right, and it should be proven
that we have this water to spare

IF this 600 second feet of water
which costs us some $4,000 in 1914. is
now worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars, when there are plenty of other
filings obtainable, almost as good,
what then will it be worth when all

has been appropriated?
Certainly none would advise that
we dispose of a part of our decree.
