FARMER FEED EXPERTS.

A farmer who has devoted his life
time to the study of feeding generally
has more success through his common
sense methods than any scientific
analysis can supply. If such a feeder
could have on hand all of the in
gradients (most b%y-products of cereal
manufacturer, which according to the
market at the time would be more
economical. he could. through his ex-
~perience, be very successful in mix.
ing his feeds. But the difficulty with
the average man is to maintain an
economical ration from the products
of his own farm.
he may be an expert, if he chooses
TO study out a new ration every time
the market changes, but he generally
prefers to let someone who makes q
business of mixing feeds do it for him.
No doubt the majority of users OF
mixed feeds begin to buy it because
OF a shortage of forage and grain
crops on the farm.
If such a nan will keep books he
will find that as a usual thing the
use of mixed stock feed is a mere mat
ter of arithmetic whether he could
buy the ingredients cheaper than he
could buy them in a so-called bal
anced" ration.

of regaining his health.
HE KNOWS MEN
During his university days and later
In his professional work he was asso-
ciBted with a so-called cultured class
OF people. Out in the great open
places of the Southwest he met a diff
ferent class of men. The dress suit
and top hat were lacking and in their
places were the corduroys, wooden
shirts and SLOUGH hats of the cattle
men. He found, however, that the
wooden shirts covered hearts that were
as true as any that beat beneath the
white front" of the cultured mar of
the city.
He found that not all our heroes and
heroines are recorded in the written
history OF the race. He found that
the world is full of kings and queens
and princes whose only crowns are
the crowns OF manhood and
hood.

SUCCESSFUL

tNauenal Crop improvement Service
It Is most significant and probably
the best argument for mixed feeds
when it is considered that a large
number of the most prominent and
skilled men in America have dis
carded their own mixed feeds and
rations because they have found "a
satisfactory brand of feed which will
make as much milk at less cost and
no trouble and, above all, keeps cows
in perfect health.
Many agricultural schools and ex-
pertinent stations use and have used
them for the same reason.
You can verify this by writing to
any experiment station and they will
give you the names of mixed brands
which are best adapted to your pur-
pose.

DOUBLE DUTY
A Dairy Ration Has TWO Main Uses
Life and Product.
National Crop Improvement Service,]
ration is divided into two parts

National Crop Improvement Service,]
A ration is divided into two parts:
i. The part needed to maintain OF
keep the animal alive.
2. The part needed to make
stored up material like wool, fat,
meat or milk.
Milk is roughly in solids, one-third
each casein (protetn), fat and sugar.
The casein in milk can only be fur
nished by the protein in the food.
The fat and sugar may be derived
from either protein, fat or carbo-
hydrates.
If a COW has the ability to give SO
pounds of milk containing two pounds
of casein, and only gets enough pro-
tein to make one pound of casein,
then she will only give % pounds Of
milk.
A balanced ration is one that has
just the exact amount of protein, fat
and carbohydrates that the COW
needs. Just what this is we cannot
ever say exactly. because the amounts
vary from week to week and no two
cows are alike, nor are feeds alike.
A practical ration is one that has
sufficient protein and enough total
food to make the greatest amount of
milk without the COW losing weight.
A commercially successful ration is
the one that makes the most milk or
profit, keeps the COW healthy and en-
ables the use of the most roughage.
All the hay and ensilage a COW can
eat will keep her alive and make
about Is pounds Of milk. Any more
milk has to come from grain or grain
feed.
The farm can usually raise carbo-
hydrates cheap in the form of hay and
ensilage, and, outside of clover, peas,
etc. protein a usually be bought
cheaper than it can be raised.
The average price of protein feeds
with 20 per cent digestible protein
was about $25 to $35 per ton before
the war, but the prices are much
higher now, while hay (clover) with
5h per cent digestible protein has
been rated at $40 per ton, SO the pro-
tein feed at $40 would furnish protein
about the same as clover at $40.

MUST S GOOD.

National Crop Improvement service.]
A dairy ration must, of all things.
be palatable so hat a COW will eat it
1t must be bulky and coarse so as to
avoid Indigestion and sickness. II
must contain a variety of foods SC
that the COW will not tire of it or get
off her feed. 1t must contain enough
real protein-all protein is moi alike.
1t must contain the right amounts
and kinds of mineral substances nee
essary to life, health and milk secre-
ton. 1t must be highly digestible.
Many feeds are only about fifty to
sixty per cent digestible and the work
of %excreting so much waste matter is
costly in that 1t uses up the energy Of
the food to do 1t.

O.. II. Packard, Of Delayan, Wiscon-
sin, a progressive and practical dairy
man, was not satisfied with his ration
of homegrown feed. Although he
mixed his ration with brains and it
seemed to be theoretically correct, he
thought he would try out his own
mixture In comparison with a first
class dairy feed. Much to his surprise
he found that he could save about
five lbs. Of grain per COW per day and
nearly 5 cents per COW. He figured
his W grain at prices much below
the wholesale market and bought his
mixed feed at retail.
Also when his ration was figured ac-
cording4to Armsby or Energy method
his mixed feed proved to be the right
combination to make a balanced ration
with his own farm roughage.

No suggestions that we can offer
nor n other formula that can be
made can be followed to the letter as
a druggist follows the prescription of
a physician. Feeds vary in their nu-
tritiye values. some being better than
the average and some not rs. good,
and cows vary in their ability to di-
gest and transform nutriment. These
conditions make it necessary for the
feeder to use a good deal of Judgment

drawn, but 1t is not likely that men
holding numbers drawn after the first
ZOO will be summoned before the
boards for service In the first army.
According TO the officials In charge,
the first l,00O numbers drawn repre-.
sented more than million men.
The draft was invested with all the
dignity and solemnlty becoming so i'm

by distinguished company. The first
eight numbers were drawn respective

Tho Women Of France.

The women of France have won
great honor by great service, but their
work has been woman's work. They
have kept their hands on the details
the things that make the difference be-
tween profit and loss in trade or agri-
culture, and between paths Of pleas
antness and bad going in our daily
walk. They are wise in the technique
of living-not for themselves alone, but
for France, her men and her children.
If France is pleasant and Frenchmen
love it, it Is FrenchwOmen who have
made it 80, writes e. s. Martin in the
Atlantic. If life is pleasant to French
men and they love it, it Is French
women who have made it so. If French
men love France more than life, 1t Is
because In q conquered France French
life could not flourish, or Frenchwom-
en- train it and make it worth living
to Frenchmen. It is a great office to
make life pleasant; to make 1t worth
living. So far as it is done, 1t Is done
chiefly by women, but not by women
whose motto is "Women for women" or
every woman for herself"

by the fact that the Hausa language

worthy that the Hausa, alone of all the
