The DAIRY RATION
Feeding Tables Hard to Follow on
Account of Variation of
Ingredients.

Account OF Variation Of
80. Ingredients.
- National Crop Improvement Service
For many years feeders have en-
deavored to use so-called standard
tables showing the theoretical num-
Der of pounds each of so-called d.
gestible protein, fats and carbohy-
drates. These methods are fatally
defective for the following reasons:
First, the tables call for so much
digestible food. II there was such
thing as digestible food it might fur
nish basis to 60 by, but digestible
food is really apparently digestible
'ood, in that it disappears in the body.
Just what use is made of it is not al
ways clear. Some of it turns into gas,
some is converted into heat, and much
of it is used in the labor of digesting
and handling the food. In the case
Of straw and similar material, nearly
all of it's energy is used up in the
labor of digesting it, leaving little or
no net gain. Straw should be re-
turned to the soil. Take two samples
of dried barley grains, each contain.
ing the same amount of digestible
food, and one will give twenty more
therms or heat units than the other.
One hundred pounds OF digestible
food derived from roughage is about
equal to eighty pounds derived from
grain, so if we add together things
which are unlike, we get no tangible
results. It is like adding so many
pounds to so many gallons. So, the
digestible basis of figuring rations Is
very inaccurate. The correct way is,
first, to ascertain how much protein
and energy cow needs to sustain
life and keep weight. You can gel
this from your experiment station,
and ascertain how much is necessary
to make one pound of milk of Ger.
tain fat test, and then feed her as
much protein and energy as is needed
to maintain her and supply food for
az many pounds of milk as she can
make.
This is very difficult problem
and few can do it, and we challenge
any two men to tackle the same prob
lem under the same conditions and
arrive at the same result.
We cannot tell unless we try to find
out, that a COW will not give more
milk on more feed, or maybe as much
milk on less feed. So feeding is large
ly experimental as no two COWS are
alike.
However, the law of averages will
hold, and the feeder can save all this
trouble and much loss by feeding
ration which his experiment station
has in most cases made, say three to
four pounds of milk for each pound
of mixed feed.
There is one thing certain. The
more solids and fat in the milk, the
more feed needed per pound Of milk
So, good mixed feed which is prop
erly combined and all the roughage
she will eat will greatly simplify your
reeding problem and very little ex-
perimenting will soon show you how
much concentrates each COW needs to
produce a maximum yield.

Mounted Scouts
Wanted

The headquarters company of the
First Regiment still has room for
five or six good horsemen to serve
as mounted scouts. A horse-shoer
is also needed. Anyone desiring to
enlist should apply to Captain +.
S. Henry, at his Office under the
American National Bank Building.
The mounted feature of the
Headquarters Company makes it a
particularly desirable company to
enlist in, and as the maximum
strength is low, any one desiring
enlistment, should apply at once.

sense dictates this The interests of the country demand it.
 Steel made a new low with not very vigorous recovery. At the pres ent rate stocks are declining they ought to before long reach the point of exhaustion. Every big decline before has been brought about by money con- ditions or rottenness somewhere. This one has been brought about by freight and the money needs of financing a world war
 There has been no effort on the part of large financial interests to extend no other than scale down support on the stock market.
 It is said that until the railroad situ alton clears definitely. banking sources will be inactive in this connection.
 Good buying is taking place among securietis which represent corporations | having large raw material equities, sue has coal, lands, copper mines, etc. It is believed that these equities will tide oyer any further needs. including credits that may be pressing owing to the demand for raw materials that is likely to continue for a long time to- come.
 Liquidation for investment and spec ulative account continues with no signs of a shock yet and the disposi- tions in banking circles seem to be to let it run it's course under the in fluence of pending foreign and do mestic uncertainties. Support is poor and rallies meet stock. Something that will probably continue until reassur- surfing news comes from Europe and Washington.
 Engineering and Mining Journal says:
 Copper conference this week is the matter most talked about Some of smaller producers have made better representations to committee that they cannot sell copper at 2S12 cents. It is well known also that south American producers are suffering very keenly from present conditions. Washington officials much sratified at increased production of Anaconda, which is run ming at about 90 per cent capacity.
 There may be an effort upon the par of large investors to put prices up be fore the first of the year for valuation purposes. This would affect banks anC insurance companies.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-No essen tial changes from long existing con- ditions were manifested by today's stock market. Leading shares con- tinued their downward movement, subject to fitfull rallies but these served as little more than founda- tion for fresh liquidation.
 Traders covered at the outset on intimations from Washington that the rights of railroad shareholders would be safeguarded in the event of federal control, but these assur- ances were forgotten at the first signs of higher rates for call and time loans.

 The decline has nothing to do with conditions of the company. We be- lieve their earnings will show double for this quarter. what they did last, and are expected to be the largest on record.
 It is simply a stampede of investors with a certain amount of speculative following. People who ought to know people who think and reason. believe that the news from Washington will be favorable as to railroads. Common

GRAIN

CHICAGO. Dec. 13.-Corn showed firmness today. largely because of storms interfering with crop move ment. Prices closed steady at the same as yesterdays finish to Lc higher with January s1.21Ss and May, s1.19 3-S. In oats, the outcome ranged from S-S decline to Hc advance. Pro- visions underwent a setback of 22c to s1.00.
 Knowledge that traffic difficulties had become acute needed no greater evidence than the unusual scantiness or corn receipts. On the ensuing ad- vances, December touched sI.25 a bushel, the high point on the crop. Then profit taking set in, and the market tended to sag.
 Oats mounted to a new high price record for the season. Bad weather and gossip of large export business were mainly responsible. Heavy sell ing in the last part of the day wiped out most of the gains.
 Sharp declines in the hog mark et pulled down provisions.
