FEED and CARE OF
The DAIRY HEIFER

Although the first few months of
the heifer's life are the most critical
period Of her existence, many are
stunted. due to lack Of attention after
being weaned.
1t is rather common practice to
have cows calve In the spring, yet this
Is not usually the best time. 1t Is a
fact that a calf born in the fall will
get a better start in life than one born
in the spring.
1t makes little difference in the rate
of growth of calf whether ii has pas
ture or has only dry feed In connection
with It's milk. But after weaving time
the calf that has pasture will make by
far the cheaper and more rapid growth.
A fall calf will also be ready for breed
ing so that it will drop its own calf
in the fall at the age of about two
years.
Until a calf is weaned it receives a
liberal allowance of protein in its milk,
but when milk IS removed from the ra-
ton 1t is necessary to supply protein in
some other form, such as legume hay
or q high protein concentrate. 1t Is
advisable to keep the heifer In
thrifty, growing condition, although
there is no need of fattening her. How
ever, If she does become rather plump
1t will not injure her dairy qualities.
If fed so as TO produce thrifty
growth, yet not produce fat, dairy
heifers will gain on an average close

Parsnips For Dairy Cows.

Most all root crops are excellent
stimulant food for dairy cattle. Pars-
nips rank close to the top, because
they are richer In food nutrient than
most Of the other roots. Unless cows
are being fed exceptionally well the
addition of parsnips or any other roots
will cause them to increase In their
milk flow. If parsnips can be raised
or purchased at cost within reason
We recommend very highly their ~

For heifers from six TO twelve
months old the following rations will
give good results:
Ration About two pounds daily
of a mixture Of seventy-fve pounds

bran; all the alfalfa hay the heifer will
eat.
Ration 2.-SiX to ten pounds silage;
about two pounds daily Of a grain mix
ture Of forty pounds corn chop, forty
pounds linseed meal or cottonseed meal
and twenty pounds bran; all the al
falfa hay the heifer will eat.
For heifers one to two years old the
following rations are finely adapted:
Ration About three pounds Of

heifer will eat
Ration Corn silage, twelve TO

The proper age at which TO breed a

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER TO
GOD

Not long ago q good man defined
conversion as unconditional sur
render 10 God" The definition may
have some advantages, but II 10 not
a good one. God does not seek sur
render. hut cooperation. II all God
wanted was 10 have His own way.
He could have had 10 by not making
man at ALL Since He has man on
His hands he must do the best He
can under the circumstances.
There was a Sunday school story
told some fifty years ago in which
a Scotch mother made large and
fragrant cake and set IL on the low
er shelf OF the cupboard, and went
away for the day, leaving her small
boy, Donald, whom she told not 10
eat the cake. She was late in re-
turning, and Donald became very
hungry. Repeatedly he went 10 the
cupboard and smelled the cake and
wished for IL so much, but obeyed
his mother. On her return she
praised him for his obedience. and
made him some porridge for sup
per. He asked when he was 10 have
the cake. and she told him the cake
contained poison for the rats.
This story deeply impressed the
present writer in his childhood, and
made him feel the value Of obedi-
ence, which the story was intended
10 convey 10 the Sunday School
children Of that time. But II SEEM
ed little hard that Donald. after all
his self restraint. got only por-
ridge. Viewed from the standpoint
OF the present, the writer knows
that no mother should have done
what Donalds mother did: she
should have told Donald that there
was poison in the cake and then
should haye locked IL up.
II seems sometimes as il God had
set the rat poison Of life on a very
low shelf and had permitted His
children 10 get very hungry and
long for il. But II so there is a
better reason than the teaching Of
unconditional surrender" 10 His
will. There is no way in which
God can reveal His will 10 us except
through the medium Of the human
reason: there is no way in which
we can test how reasonable the
will Of God is except through our
own reason.
This Is more than unconditional
surrender"
When the Civil War ended. Gen.
erals Joseph Wheeler and Fitz Hugh
Lee surrendered 10 the Federal gov
ernment. So far, so good. But they
might still have been very undesir-
able citizens. When the Spanish
American war broke out. they both
fought under the Stars and Stripes.
That was something more than un-
conditional surrender. God wants
soldiers, not prisoners Of war.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S ADMINS.
TRATION

The people of the United States
will be called upon within a few
months 10 choose President. Ex-
traordinary conditions exist here
as well as abroad and we need at
the head OF our government as
much wisdom, courage and charac-
ter as IL is possible 10 secure. In
View OF this the question arises
whether there is any good reason
for displacing our Chief Magistrate
when we consider how well he has
done his work.
We must bear in mind that during
the campaign OF 1912 the attention
OF the people was directed wholly
10 questions Of domestic policy; no
thought Of foreign war clouded our
horizon. Congress addressed itself
TO immediate revision downward
OF the existing duties" as promised
in the Democratic platform. Until
the war changed every condition.
figures show that as a revenue pro-
ducer the new system was q success.
In regard TO the trusts. we must ad-
init that Mr.. Wilson and his party
have performed all that they PROM
ised. In fact, in every essential re-
spect regarding our domestic policy,
they have fulfilled their promises
in a manner most unusual in our
political history.
Let us consider his foreign policy.
He found our relations with other
countries in a most unsatisfactory
condition. The dollar diplomacy"
which had been carried very far
by the previous administration.
brought disrespect and lack OF con-
fldence on the part Of the nations af-
fected. The single act Of abandoning
the dollar diplomacy" did much TO
improve our foreign relations.
However the anarchy which pre-
vailed in Mexico when President
Taft retired presented a much more
serious problem. Two steps in Mr..
Wilson's policy have been criticised.
Namely the non-recognition OF
Huerta and the landing Of our
troops at Vera Cruz. In spite Of
seeming error two great results
have been achieved: peace with
Mexico and restored good feeling
with South America.
u is hoped that this good feeling
may he further assured by the rati-
fcation Of the treaty with Colombia
over which the Senate now haggles
The bulk Of the American people
favor the Allies and for the best Of
reasons. There are enthusiasts for
peace who would end the war no
matter how. Mr.. Wilson. as presi-
dent Of them all, said II cannot in
dulge in the reckless pleasure Of ex-
pressing my own opinions and pre-
iudices." We have every reason 10
he greatful that his and not less
steady hand has steered the ship Of
state since 1913. His faults and mis-
takes are moi more than any man
must commit who fills his great Of
fee. Whom can we trust more
safely? Certainly not the bitter
critic whose tireless invective spares
no one, and whose irresponsible
recklessness, IL he means what he
says. would long ere this, have
plunged us into al least one war had
he been in the place of Mr.. Wilson.
