MORE M0LASSES, LESS MEAT
Foreman of Railroad Construction
Knew How to Feed Men to
the Best Advantage.

In the days of railroad construction
in the West the foremen on the grade,
who knew q thing or two about the
practical side of feeding men, were
wont to tell the cooks to "use plenty
of molasses; it saves on the meat
bills" This hOmely principle is now
recognized officially by the United
States department of agriculture in a
bulletin in which housewives are urged
TO make free use of molasses and sir
ups in the family cooking. 1t is as
serted that In a ten-cent can of mo-
laSses there are So times as much
heat and energy as in ten cents worth

of energy, and as a measure of keep

SUITABLE PLACE FOR COWS
Stalls Should Be Provided for Each
Animal-Plenty of Ventilation
Is Recommended.

To give best results mich cows
should be provided with suitable quar-
tiers for feeding and milking. Stalls
should be provided for each cow and
feed boxes and manger racks should
be so arranged that they will be OF
easy access for cleaning at least once
every day. Twenty-Five dollars, plus
the labor, should fit any ordinary barn
with stalls for five cows and the neces-
sary feed boxes, hangers, and cutters.
Plenty of ventilation is necessary, be-
cause the COW is somewhat like the
human being, she thrives best where
there is plenty Of fresh air available.
Provision should be made to take care
of the manure. This can be done by
providing plenty Of bedding in box
stalls, or, If stanchions are used, by
having water-tight cutters about IA
inches wide and 10 inches deep rum
ming full length Of the stable.

Oat-Sprouting Cabinet.

much better condition than II green
food is not included in the ration. The
hens never tire of fresh, tender sprout-
ed oats, and of all green foods they
seem to relish this the most.
The simplest method of sprouting
oats which we have ever used is rack
made about 80 inches square and s
feet high, says a writer in Farmers
Mail and Breeze. Wooden trays 2
inches deep and 80 inches square are
made to fit this rack and slide in and
out on cleats nailed to each side of
the rack. These cleats are placed
about s or 10 inches apart. In the
bottom of each tray we bore gimlet
holes so the water will drain from the
oats. We place the rack in some base
ment or cellar. We soak the oats in
water over night, and the next morn
ing these are placed in a tray and
spread out until they are about ~
inches deep. The oats are sprinkled
each day and no artificial heat is used.
In six or seven days time the oats are
ready for use. Where we use no arti-
fetal heat we are not troubled with
mold. This is cheap and easy meth
cd of providing green food if you are
properly equipped for sprouting oats.

cows FOR MACHINE MILKING
Farmers Should Study Herd From
Standpoint of Fitness-Avoid
Defective Udders.
By PROF. c. LARSEN, South Dakota
State College.)

(By PROF. c. LARSEN, South Dakota
State ColleSe)
Dairy farmers who wish to use milk
ing machines should study their herd
from the standpoint of fitness for a
milking machine. The reason why
some men are successful with milking
machines and others are not can be
traced in part to the difference in COWS.
When the milking machine is in
stalled the owner will have better sue
cess If he will Gull out the cows that
do not readily and completely give
down their milk, cows with uneven I'D
der and placement of teats and cows
with very fleshy teats. Some herds
may not contain any defective cows,
some may contain one or two and some
herds may contain several.
Cows with such defective udders and
teats should never be used as fOunda-
ton cows. The heifer calves from the
COWS that milk easily by machine
should be selected. 1t is especially i'm
portant to select herd bull that comes
from ancestors that have well-fOrmed
mammary organs, and better still to
select proved herd bull that is known
to produce daughters of large, symmet-
rical and well-placed teats Of good
quality.

milk, a qualified veterinarian should
be called upon to inspect and test each
COW every year.
With the assurance of healthy cow,
she should be housed in clean, we'll
lighted shed and provided with clean
yard in which to exercise. The milk
should be drawn into clean, small
topped milk pail and kept cool until
consumed.
Milk sours and spoils because Of the
bacteria which enter it with dirt from
the cow and from pals not thoroughly
washed. Keeping these bacteria out
of the milk and preventing their
growth by keeping the milk cool, are
easy and efficient means of procuring
the best of milk from the family cow,
provided she Is free from disease.

ter than red ones. Even gray and
fox squirrels are occasionally trouble
some. 1t is not necessary, however,
that bird lovers should wage indis-
criminate warfare against all squir-
rels. 1t is far better to adopt the rule
never to kill squirrel unless there is
reason to believe that it has acquired
the habit of eating eggs or young
birds; the result will probably be that
not more than one red squirrel in fifty
nor more than one gray squirrel in a
hundred will have to be killeG. Where
squirrels are numerous they give more
or less trouble by gnawing and disfig.
uring houses. This damage may be
prevented. however, by covering the
parts about the entrance with tin or

Breathing Exercises.

When you take breathing exercises,
are you filling your lungs too full?
Breath control is the thing to seek
for, not the crowding of your lungs full
of air.
The latter simply distends the lung
surface, makes extra cells, and then
you have to keep on stretching your
lungs in order to keep those cells
clean! 1t is the same principle as
overdevelop!ng muscles; you develop
more muscle than you need and then
you have to take extra exercise to
keep it in trim.
Never stretch your lungs. If you
have already done it, you cannot undo
it, but it will correct itself after a
time If you quit stretching. Breathe
easily. Fill your lungs just moderately
full, keep on practicing until you can
always breathe without CLOSING the
rapdoor." If you have trouble with the
epiglottis closing, you may be sure that
you fill your lungs entirely too full.
Put all of your attention on breathing
easily, rhythmically, holding the breath
a moment and then exhaling slowly
through the nostrils. Take pains to
make the exhalation fully as long as
the inhalation.
believe in exhaling through the nos
trils for all ordinary breathing pur-
poses, because believe in breath con-
troll and not in lung stretching. Most
of the control comes from the slow ex-
haling.-Nautilus.

Enemies of House Birds.
Bird tenants have numerous enc

wish to free their premises of these
Sparrows will find recommendations in

Cats and large snakes are enemies
Of birds, the former perhaps killing
more birds than any other mammal.
Trees and poles supporting houses
should be sheathed with tin or gal
vanized iron to prevent these enemies
from climbing to the nests. Squirrels
give more or less trouble by gnawing
houses. eating eggs and killing nes-
things. Red squirrels, in particular,
have a very bad reputation in this re-
spect, and many experimenters keep

NO NEED TO HOLD WHEAT

Washington, d. c., September Is.
Fairfax Harrison, Chairman of the
Railroads War Board authorizes the
following:
We are assured that the price Of
wheat determined by the President
will be maintained throughout the
year by the Food Administration and
that there can be no objective in
holding wheat. In fact, the farmer
saves interest and deterioration by
marketing early at the present. time.
The railways can handle moro
wheat to storage points for ready
distribution and to mills to be manu-
factured into flour for domestic con-
sumption and expectation to our al
lies where it is much needed and for
which ships are available at ports.
The railways wish to appeal to the
farmers to bring their wheat to MAJ
ket now.
Later in the fall the handling Of
many more products will cause con-
gestion and delays.
The railways are now being opey-
ated in common to serve the entire
community. The dmands for move-
ments Of military and supplies will
be an increased burden. Therefore,
the railways must have the coopera-
tion Of the entire community.
