The Profitable Dairyman.

AAC GlOAtdulC Ian ludus
There is no denying the fact that
too many dairymen are carrying
their business at loss, but instan-
ces of marked success in the bust
ness appear to indicate that dairy
ing can be put on paying basis.
There are many things that COM
mend dairying to the farmer,
among which should be named a
certainty of getting good prices
for the products of the farm and
the elimination of the speculative
element which surrounds growing
marketing other products.
To conduct dairy farm at
profit, we must feed good cows.
They should be good individuals
and selected from the breed which
is best adapted to the particular
branch of dairying that is being
made our speciality and to all con-
ditions, Of our farms. No one
breed or type is adapted to all
conditions else there would be
little need for so much diversity of
size, conformation and quality of
product.
For the economical production
of butter and scream. Tor of very
rich milk that is suitable for a
fancy trade) it is best to keep
Jerseys or Guernseys; that is, pro-
viding we will give them the care
and treatment they are accustomed
to in their native land. Jersey
, and Guernsey COWS produce less
r milk solids, other than fat. thus
enabling them to turn larger pro-
portions of their food and energy
, into the production of the desired
product than COWS of breeds which
yield larger quantity of milk
deficient in butter fat.
On certain farms where the pas
ture is scant or where the land is
rough and rolling, and where sum-
h. ,ner dairying is practiced, that COW
a which is capable of doing the best
e work under such conditions would
be best adapted to the economy Of
the dairy. For such a farm the

Water Required by Milk Cows

A COW in full flow of milk will
drink four times as much water as
when dry. One who has had to
carry water to a heavy milking
COW can appreciate this large water
requirement for milk production.
The writer has had this experience
and it occurs to us that it might
be good object lesson for those
who are milking cows to pump and
carry water to COW some time so
as to get the quantity necessary
firmly fixed in mind. 4
AS result of investigation at
the various experiment stations
and the observations of practical
dairymen, it may be stated that
the average COW giving milk must
be supplied at least twelve and
one half gallons of water daily.
While this amount is sufficient for
the ordinary production, much
greater amounts are necessary for
extremely heavy producers. Pro
fessor Eckles, Of the Missouri Ex-
periement Station, tells of heavy
mixer, giving 100 pounds of milk
daily, consuming ration of IS
pounds Of alfalfa hay, 10 pounds
silage. and from IA to 30 pounds
of concentrates, drinking from 21o
to 3o7 pounds of water daily.
This amounts to over a barrel of
water.
Cows are creatures of habit, and
ordinary individuals will as a rule
get along if they have opportunity
to drink all they desire at regular
time each day. The high pro.
ducers, however, should have access
, to water at least twice daily. An
abundant supply of pure water is
a very important factor on the
dairy farm, If the cows must &C

Hypocrisy.

Somewhere I have read Of civic
celebration held in Paris in the days
before the Pan-European conflict rem
dered such festivities inadvisable. 1t
was in early winter, so there were
naturally no leaves or blossoms on the
trees, but the ingenuity Of man came
to the rescue and imitation leaves and
foliage were attached to every tree.
Everywhere throughout the city, and
along the Champs d Elysees, one could
see hundreds Of bushes and trees
seemingly in full bloom.
Here is q vivid picture Of the hypo-
critic. With him it is always winter,
but he pretends to possess the warmth
of religious life and masquerade in
flowers not his own. An external view
would show the foliage Of well-or-
dered Christian life, while God, who
sees and knows our innermost
thoughts, knows 1t Is but sham.-Alan

Omit All Meat From Diet if You Feel

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney trouble,

When your kidneys feel like Jumps

is cloudy full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with
sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells,
and stomach, or have rhumatism when
the weather is bad, get from any drug
druggist about one dozen kidneco tab
let's; take one with glass of water be,

YOUR kidneys will then act fins. This
famous remedy is made from perfectly

to neutralize the acids in the Urine so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Kidneco is inexpensive; cannot in

nobody can make mistake by having
a kidney flushing any time.

men and number of residents of Govans

years old, who in fit OF insanity yester-
day shot his physician, Dr. George \.

DR. Hooking was wounded in the arm
and shoulder, but not seriously. Gantz's
face was cut by small shot and broken

OF Gantz's house and broke it in On as

Crarner saw Gantz just within the door
with a pistol in his hand Cramer sprang
into the room and grappled with the in

During the siege relatives and friends
alike got no consideration from the insane
man. After driving one sister from the

Washington Surprised at Al
lies Interpretation of
Wilson'S Note
NEEDS FOR COMPARING
BOTH SIDES TERMS
Is Point Which Has Aroused Much
Comment - Entente Allies Have Paid
Little Attention to Suggestion About
Preserving Peace in Future.

WASHINGTON, Dec 3O.-The AmeIi-
can government, it became known authori-
tatively today, believes there are three
principal points in its note 10 the bellig-
crents and IS surprised that they have not
been more clearly understood, particularly
by the press of the entente allies.
These points taken in their order Of I'M
portance from the administration view
point, are as follows:
The fear that the position of neutral ma
tions be rendered altogether intolerable'
if the war continues; the suggestion that
arrangements be made as a guarantee
against similar conflicts in the future; the
proposed that means be found for co1npar-
ing tho concrete peace terms OF both
sides.
The last point has aroused much com
ment. The administration, however, II
was learned today, thought the suggestion
for an arrangement to preserve peace il
the future would attract more attention
among the entente allies than it apparently
has and furnish means through whicl
these nations could enter with perfec
Ipropriety INTO a serious peace discussion

A MISSING LINK.
Restored Ape-Man 100000 Years Old
Shown in a Convention.

NEW YORK, Dee. 30.-The 100000
year old pitheeanthropus ereetus :
was introduced to modern society yes
terday by Professor James II. McGregor
of the department of zoology, Columbia
University at one of the sessions of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science He explained that
the habitat of . P. E. - as he was called
for brevity, was Java. Virtually all
there is of the original cape man. is
the skull and jawbone. The restored
figure was declared by Professor Nc
Gregor to be an accurate reproduction
of man s Darwinian ancestor.
The discussion as to the antiquity of
man on North America before the
American anthropological association
revolved around human remains and
other objects recently found at Vero
Fla. Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of an
chronology at the United States Nation
al Museum in Washington, put the age
at l25, 900 years, but DR.. 0. r. Hay OF
the Carnegie Institution of Washington
contended that the evidence showed
men lived here no less than 100000
years back. He took part in the ex
cavation of the find and said tha
among the remnants of animals foun(
were bones of ground sloth as big a
an elephant.
