CHANCES MEETING TIME

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-After hold
ing conventions for thirty-fye years
in November, the American Fedora
ticn Of Labor hereafter will meet il
June. This was decided upon at yes
terday's session of the thirty
annual convention pfter a lengthy
debate on the restitution authorizing
the change during which remarks as
to possible political significance in

prompted President Samuel Gompers,
both during the session and after ad-
journment, to state emphatically that
the Federation's policy of non-par-
ticipation in partisan politics had not
and would not be changed by the
adoption of the resolution
I'VE will continue to fight for our
friends and try to defeat our enemies,
no matter what their politics or
creed, p he said.

agreed for the defendant without
costs" Those interests declined to an,

PLANT RoUGHAGEs FOR COWS
livery Farmer Is Advised to Grow
Abundance of Alfalfa or Clover
Concentrates High.

Grow an abundance Of feed for the
COW this season, advises A. S. Neale
specialist in dairy husbandry, division
of extension, Kansas State Agricultural
college.
ALREADY the price of concentrates
is 'out Of sight Prices will continue
high unless these concentrates are re-
placed by the cheaper roughages," said
Mr.. Neale. every farmer should plan
to grow plenty of alfalfa or clover, and
.silage. If alfalfa or clover cannot be
grown in your section substitute an
iother leguminous crop, such as cow
peas.
During the next u months the pro-
duction OF dairy products will be due
largely to the feeding Of roughages in
stead of concentrates, as has formerly
been the case.
"Dairy COWS of quality receiving
nothing but roughage can produce 200
ito $50 pounds Of butterfat annually,
provided the roughage is fed in abund-
,ance and is composed Of a combination
of silage and q leguninous hay. Of
course poor COWS will not do so well
on this ration"

Manufacturers, University Of ulinois.)
1. Keep the COWS clean.
2. Use covered milk pals.
8. Milk with dry hands.
4. Remove milk from the barn i'm
Imediately and separate it at once.
5. Set the separator so that it will
skim cream that will test from 80 to
40 per cent in the winter and from
40 to 40 per cent in the summer.
6. Wash, scald, and dry the separa-
tor and all utensils Immediately after
using. The separator bowl may be
dried in a warm oven, though the
oven should not be so warm that it
will melt the tin on the bowl parts.
Setting utensils in the sun is a good
.practice, as the sunshine acts as q
germicide.
z. Keep all utensils and separator
parts dry when not in use.
S. Cool the cream Immediately after
skimming by setting the can in cold
running water. Construct q cooling

iROUeHNEss FOR DAIRY cow
lAnimaI Is Not Content Unless Stomach
Is FuIl-Feed Grain According to
Milk Yield.

RoughneSs is the first important con-
{%sideration. A COW is not contented
unless her stomach is full. She should
always have all the roughness that
she will clean up and then the amount
tof grain she receives should be regu-
lated by the amount Of milk pro-
;duced.
A dry COW in good condition should
he fed roughness only, and does not
need any grain. In feeding grain to
milk producing cows, the following rule
may be used, and is found to work fair
Ily we'll: Feed one pound Of grain for
leach three pounds or pints of milk pro-
Iduced.

FLOWERS WHILE LIVING AND

Dead.

God made the flowers to beautify
the earth, and cheer mans careful
i, mood; and he is the happiest who has
the power to gather wisdom from a
flower and wake his heart in every
hour to pleasant gratitude" AS we
grow older and the shadows begin to
lengthen, and the leaves which seemed
so thick in youth above our heads
grow thin and show the sky beyond,
as those in the ranks in front drop
away, as 1t seems, they are doing SO
frequently of late, we come in sight,
as we must, Of the stern eternal pits
beyond, we begin to feel that among
the really precious things of life, more
lasting and more substantials than
many of the objects, love and truth of
those we love, and to realize keenly
the friendship the devotion of those
whose friendship. we prize. Touching
elbows little closer as our ranks in
our order get thinner on the march to
the Eternal Hills, we get closer in
sight and broader view of our respon-
sibilities and opportunities. Having
been dominated with faith, hope and
courage, as exemplified in friendship.
