THE DAIRY RATION
Feeding Tables Hard to Follow on
Account of Variation of
INGREDIENTS.
National Crop Improvement sorvic..l

E M N~-oh~ ~Nf ''fb'|' f'''N ''''
For many years feeders have en-
deavored to use so-called standard
tables showing the theoretical mum
her Of pounds each OF so-called di-
gestible protein, fats and carbohy-
drates. These methods are fatally
defective for the following easons
First, the tables call for so much
digestible food. If there was such a
thingsas digestible food ii night fur
ntsh q basis to go by, but digestible
food is really apparently digestible
food, 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,
of 1t is used in the labor Of digesting
and handling the food. In the case
of straw and similar material, nearly
all of Its energy is used up in the
labor of digesting it, leaving little OF
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 digestihle
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, 80 II we add together things
which are unlike, we get no tangible
results. It is like adding so many
pounds to sc many gallons. So. the
digestible basis OF figuring rations is
very inaccurate. The correct way is.
first, to ascertain how much protein
aud energy a cow needs to sustain.
life and keep weight. You can get
this from your experiment station,
and ascertain how muck Is necessary
to make n pound of milk Of a GER
tain fat test, and then feed her as
much protein and energy as is needed
to maintain her and supply food for
as many pounds of milk as she a
make.
This Is q very difficult problem
and few a 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 q COW will not give more
milk on more feed, or maybe as much
milk or less feed. So feeding is large
" 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 a
ration which his experiment station
hass IN most cases made, say three to
1our pounds Of milk for each pound
of mixed feed.
There is one thing certain. The
more solids and fat in the milk. the
moro feed needed per pound Of milk.

SiIly combined and m the roughage

Thirty thousand Of the little fell

spies. men who for years had been
planted in the war Office, the admir-

eminent departments. It took months
of the cleverest kind Of espionage to
rout out these arch spies.
For many months England was ac-
cused of being 'spy-mad". But she
was 'spy-mad" with good cause. She
took no chances. She removed Prince
Louis of Battenberg from his naval
command and forced into oblivion

former war minister, because Of his

Many people will practice greater
economy than usual this summer, per-
haps using less ice and shopping
about to get the best prices obtainable
for foods. This Is all right If we are
very careful not to use anything
which Is past its prime. It is harder
to keep foods perfectly fresh in warm
weather than inA cold, and especially
those which must bejtransported some
distance. For our country's sake, we
must not invite ptomaine poisoning
and dysentery.
In warm weather, we require less
food than in cold. Sometimes we are
unwfse enough to eat too heartily or
to take different foods at the same
meal which proceed to do battle royal
in the stomach.
Then, too, change Of food and water
are liable to disagree. If we visit our
friends in military camp or go on a
vacation, it is safer at first to deink
boiled water, tea, coffee or carbonated
water.

Pershing Demands Of Army Good
Department; Calls For Special
Courtesy to the Women of France

Paris. July 11.-Major General
Pershing, commander Of the Ameri-
can forces in France. has issued the
following general order to his troops:
For the first time in history an
American army finds itself in Euro
pean territory. The good name Of the
United States of America and the
maintenance. Of cordial relations re-
quire the perfect department Of each
member Of this command.
ut is Of the gravest importance
that the soldiers Of the American
army shall at all times treat the
French people. and especially the
women. with the greatest courtesy and
consideration. The valiant deeds of
the French armies and the Allies, Ny
which they together have successfully
maintained the common cause for
three years., and the sacrifices of the
civil population of France in support
OF their armies, command our pro-
found respect. This can, best be ex-
pressed on the part Of our forces by
uniform courtesies to all the French
people and by the faithful observance
OF their laws and customs.
The intense cultivation of the soil
IN France, under conditions caused by
the war, makes 1t necessary that ex-

is caused by overlooking the stomach
or by unrtpe or contaminated foods.
Diarrhoea often alternates with con-
stipation, being caused by the irritat-
ing gases of decaying feces. Dysentery
is natures way Of declaring that there
is something Of which the system
wishes to get rid.
The logical thing to do in dyspeptio
dysentery is to stop eating for twenty
four hours or to partake lightly Of
meat broth, peptonized milk or soft
toast. If the attack Is ushered in by
distressing pains, relieve these by a
little Jamaica ginger, and follow with
g. good laxative-tincture Of rhubarb,
rhubarb and soda or castor oil.
In case of nervous dysentery, rest,
a simple diet, and a suitable tonic are
necessary. Where dysentery a1ternates
with constipation, the constipation
should be relieved. Mineral oil taken
each night does not disturb digestion,
being simply a body lubricant.
In the case Of diarrhoea with little
children, a physician should be seen
at once. Persistent dysentery is eome-
times the advance signal Of wasting
disease or fever.

treme care be taken to do no damage
to private property. The entire
French manhood capable Of bearing
arms is in the field lighting the
enemy. and 1t should, therefore. be a
point of honor to each member OF the
American army to avoid doing the
least damage to any property in
France. Such conduct IL much more
reprehensible here. Honor them a.

OASAA 1A
New York. July 10.-Scotland Yard,
world-famous cradle Of English de-
tectives. is to be the model for the
u 8. National Intelligence Service
created to exterminate the audacious
German spy and make impossible
further "leaks" likely to imperil by
U-boats u soldiers on their way to
France.
THE Yard" is the headquarters of
London's metropolitan police. What
we will copy is the special depart
ment"-the secret police force engag-
ed on political work" for the whole
empire.
"Silence and secrecy is the motto
at 1.-THE Yard" where "news" is alb
solutely never given out. Every
morning Sir Edward Henry, the com
missioner, holds a Council Of seven.'
At these Commute sessions, at which
the aides sit around 'the chief" like
school children before their teacher,
plans are decided upon that may start
wheels of the gigantic machine NOV
ing in most distant parts Of the
world.
When Scotland Yard goes after
a man 1t lands him. 1t doesn't
defeat itself by allowing a press
agent to give all the latest and
prospective developments to he
newspapers. Items like: ''Three.
spies were shot in the Tower Of

Yards activities during the last
two and q half years.
