WINTER FEED DAIRY cows
When Pastures Begin to Fail, Supply
the Necessary Food-Providc
Shelter for Cows

c. II. Eckles. of the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture, gives some very
good advice to the dairy farmers of
Missouri on the methods necessary
to insure the best results in the dairy
Industry. 1t ought to prove of inter
est to the farmers of this section
uous effort to establish the dairy
Industry in Colorado. where condi-
tions are ideal and the natural ad-
Vantages are so numerous and far
superior to even the most favored
dairy section in the world-Wiscon-
sin. He says:
With the coming of December the
grass is short and the pasture sea-
son Is about over In most parts OF
Missouri. As the pastures get short
before the winter feeding period
comes on a great many cows are al
lowed TO suffer severely from lack
of food. As = result they 20 down
rapidly in their milk flow.
This Is In most cases due to the
fact that the farmer Who In busy
wnh other fall work does not real
ise that the cows are short on feed
and consequently does not begin to
feed as soon as he should. 1t is .
serious mistake to let the COW 10
without proper feed and care at this
season.
Under the average farm condi-
ttons In Missouri the cows freshen
In the spring. give a good flow OF
nj X while the pastures are good.
but when the pastures have begun
to dry up and no additional food
10 given them they at once drop off
In their milk flow from one-half to
tws-thirds. and by the winter season
the cows are almost dry.
II is almost impossible to restore
the milk flow TO anything like the
or ~ al amount after II Is once al
/ lowed to run down from the lack OF
food. To make a large return from
a COW large yearly production
must be had and TO do this a flow
of milk must be kept up ten or eiev-
en months out of the year.
The cheapest and most efficient
feed. and one In reach OF every farm
er to suppliment shortage of pas
ture. Is corn. but this only applies
when shortage comes early while the
corn Is yet green and immature. But
as the season advances corn silage
II IL Is TO be had. Is an excellent
supplement. but II this is not avail
able. the COW should have an allow
ance OF hay and be given little
Grain at each milking.
Although the winters are not so
long or severe In Missouri II will pay
10 have n good barn for the dairy
COW. The dairy COW more than any
other farm animal VIII give good re-
turn for good shelter. Unlike the
lat steer. she is not protected by the
thick layer OF fat and feels the cold
keenly. II often happens that the
first cold autumn rains or first win
ter days are found to do the cattle
more harm than the colder weather
that comes later. because III. aver
age farmer does not think II ncees-
sary TO give her any shelter until
real winter II at hand. II II much
cheaper to keep the COW warm by
putting her In a barn than to feed
her extra corn for the same pur-
pose.

POLICE SEEK WRITER

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. . Every
agency at the command of the police
is being utilized today to disclose the
identity of an anonymous letter writer
whose warning that it was proposed to
get the Rev. Henry w. Slough, critic
of Mayor William Riddle. the "Redlight'
district, cabaret keepers, gamblers and
the police administration, caused eX-
traordnary precautions to protect the
lighting evangelist last night.
Only a few pastors associated with
him knew the cause for n swarm Of blue
coats and plan-Co:hes men about the
tabernacle. The crowd attributed it to
Stough's sCathing criticism of the police
for failure to apprehcnd n Riddle hench-
man whose yell Ia the midst of sun
days meeting sent the audience rushing
for the doors.
The Rev. Henry Merle Melen, the Rev
Herbert Betting and tho Rev. Thomas j.
Gross, who told Chief of Police Woodruff
OF the threats and received his assurances
of adequate police measures did not take
Doctor Slough into their confidence, and
the evangelist had no knowledge that de-
tectives walked in front and behind him
when he went to the tabernacle and
guarded him back to his stopping place
after the meeting. Chief Woodruff
watched Slough throughout his discourse,
with detectives close ut hand Officers
guarded the house while he slept.
