N This proclamation, officially author
fixed by the city Of Kenosha and signed
iby Mayor Pfennig, inaugurates an Ar
smenian tag-day for Saturday, Novem-
her 10. The movement has the hearty
endorsement Of the local Armenian Re-
lief Society and will be generally man
aged by the Rev. T. r. Faville, pastor
Of the First Congregational Church
and Attorney James Cavanagh, dean of
the Kenosha county bar. These enthu-
siasts will be assisted by officials of the
public schools, who have kindly con-
sented to organize a battalion of tag
gers among the high school students.
The movement thus officially launch
ed in Kenosha is worthy of whole
hearted support from all patriotic and
humanitarian citizens. The Armeni-
ans are victims of the despotism that
America is trying to eliminate by the
present war and are consequently de-
serving of moral sympathy and none
tary aid. That the propaganda is bona
tide and deserving of every considera-
tion is attested by the fact that it is
sponsored by William Howard Taft,
Henry Morgenthau, John r. Mott,
Charles Evan Hughes, Hamilton Holt,
Charles w. Eliot and Samuel T. Dut-
ton.
Further evidence of tho national ma
ture of the movement may be gathered
from a statement made by G. ". Wick
rey in a letter to Rev. Faville. The
communication declares that ''Presi-
dent Wilson has prepared and will soon
issue an appeal to the American people
In behalf of these unfortunate people.
In this document special Armenian
Syrian relief days have been des1gnat-
ed this year as November 10th and
llth, or such other dates as may meet
local conditions and make early provi-
sion for prevention of further suffer
ing among this noble but destitute
people,"
The churches of Kenosha are plan
ming to give impetus to the relief work
IN Asia by presentation of the cause
in the sermons of Sunday morning and
evening. In some congregations spe-
cial collections will be taken and in
all the movement will receive liberal
attention. This action is highly iusti-
fable from religious standpoint in
asmuch as the Armenian massacres
have largely resulted from an I'M
fiinching adherence to Christian prin-
ciples and Christian ideals OF life.
Dispatches from Armenia reveal the
deplorable conditions to be alleviated
IL this way. One of them reads: "In
every tent there are sick and dying.
Anyone, who cannot get a piece of
bread by begging, eats grass raw and
Without salt. The people gather To-
Gusts and eat them raw. They catch
stray dogs, and, like savages, pounce
upon dead animals whose flesh they
eat eagerly and without cooking.''
This is the situation that Kenosha is
asked to relieve by the contributions
OF Saturday and Sunday, situation
made in Germany" and by its very
existence furnishing evidence of Prus-
sian victory in the Orient.

EXTRA FEEDING AND
CARE OF DAIRY COW
Ohio Expert Gives Conclusions
Reached After Experimenting
With Station Herd.

"Heavler feeding and extra care OF
cows will pay In more than half the
dairy herds Of Ohio" says G. G. Hay
den Of the Ohio experiment station.
In its Monthly Bulletin. His conclu.
sions are based on investigations with
cows In the station dairy herd.
One cow given extra feed and care
produced 80 per cent more milk and
67 per cent more butterfat than In
previous years. This increase was pro-
duced at n cents less per 100 pounds
Of milk and % cents less per pound.
Of butterfat. Another cow gave Z per
cent more milk and so per cent more
butterfat than In former years. Her
Increase cost 81 cents less per 100
pounds Of milk and is cents less per
pound Of butterfat.
The lower costs are due to the fact
that little extra time In feeding and
caring for the animals is needed, and
no more stable room nor equipment is
required for large Yields than for small
vnes.

the use Of good purebred bulls for
six years. A larger membership in
the association may either reduce ex-
penses or make possible the purchase
Of better bulls.
Ideal Association.
The ideal association is composed
Of much larger number Of farmers.
1t jointly owns five bulls, divides its
territory into five breeding blocks"
and assigns one bull to each block.
As many as so or 90 cows may belong
to the farmers In each block, and the
bull Is kept on some farm centrally To-
Gated The blocks are numbered from
one to five, and every two years the
bulls are moved forward to the next
block. II all the bulls live and are
retained until each has made one COM
plete circuit, no new bulls have to be
purchased during u period Of ten years.

shall be tested for tuberculosis and
takes every known precaution to pre-
vent the introduction Of contagious

It is greatly to the advantage Of q
cooperative association that 1t be in
corporated under state laws. This IA
cilltates the transaction Of business,
equitably distributes responsibility,
and gives the organization greater
prestige In the community.
Cooperative bull associations have
been common In Denmark for many
years, but the first associations Of the
kind In the United States were organ
lied In 1908 by the Michigan agricul.
tural college. In this country their
growth has not been rapid, but, MS a
rule, they have been highly success
full. If skillfully managed. they may
be made great factor In the upbuild-
ing of profitable dairying in this coun.
try.

FAVOR ALFALFA FOR
HORSES OF ANY KIND
TO Be Fed Successfully, Crop
Must Be Cut at Proper Time

II alfalfa hay is properly cured, 1t
may be fed to any kind of horses.
This applies just as strongly to work
horses as to growing horses. In or
der. however, to be fed successfully.
alfalfa hay must be cut at the proper
time for horse feeding purposes, and
must be fed as q concentrate rather
than as a roughage.
The trouble which arises from feed
Ing alfalfa is due to the method Of
feeding, not with the alfalfa hay. 1t
has been said that the proper time to
begin cutting alfalfa hay is when the
field Is about one-tenth in bloom. Gut
tiaC Ut such a time makes very good
haf Tor cattle, but such hay is too
"washy" for horses at hard work. To
make hay suitable for horses at hard
work, the alfalfa must be allowed to
get rather mature before cutting; in
fact, the field should be In full bloom
before the mower Is started. The hay
should then be properly cured and
stacked. Special care must be taken
10 prevent spelling or molding.
After the hay has been cured the
next consideration is the amount to
be fed. The important cause of so
much trouble with alfalfa hay has
been overfeeding. One pound of al
faifa hay contains IS per cent more
digestible protein than one pound Of
shelled corE-and Is fairly rich In car.
bohydrates and fat. A person would
hot think Of feeding 1,200-pound
work horse q bushel of shelled corn in
q day. yet by giving the same horse all
the alfalfa hay he will eat, as large
or larger amount Of dlgestible pro-
ten Will be fed. When large amounts
Of alfalfa are fed, the horse receives

URGE COOPERATIVE BULL ASSOCIATIONS

From tho United States Department of
Agriculture.)
A cooperative bull association is a
farmers Organization, the chief pur-
pose OF which is the joint ownership
ana use OF high-class, purebred bulls.
The association also may encourage
careful selection Of cows, obtain better
prices for dairy products, Introduce
1eper methods Of buying and selling
etle. work for improved sanitary con-
Hons, intelligently fight contagious
diseases of cattle, and in many other
ways assist the dairy business.
The owners Of small herds Of grade
cows often feel that they cannot afford
to purchase valuable purebred bulls.
In, consequence they buy scrubs, or
breed their cows to a scrub bull or an
inferior purebred bull on some near
BY farm. One year a Holstein bull
may be used, the next year a Jersey,
and occasionally q bull of no particu-
lar breeding. The work of the cooper
aive bull associations makes 1t pos
sible for any farmer to own share In
purebred bull Of high quality.
A bun association In Its simplest
form may consist Of three farmers who
together purchase three good regis
tered bulls Of the same breed. Each
farmer keeps one of these bulls for
two years, at the end Of which time
the bulls are exchanged to prevent in
breeding. For the same reason a Sec
ond exchange is made at the end of
four years. In this way, by paying
the purchase price Of only one bull,
each member of the association has

test OF bulls real value; but It 10
self.evldent that this test cannot be ap-
piled until the bull approaches the age
Of four years. In ordinary farm prac-
tice bulls are usually disposed Of b.
fore their true value can be knowr.
The cooperative bull association
makes 1t possible to obtain several
years service from bulls that transmit
desired qualities and to eliminate all
others.
Cost Divided.
The original cost Of the five bulls
and their annual cost of maintenance
are usually divided among the men,
bers Of the association according to
the number Of cows owned by each.
Records on file in the dairy division
Of the department show that the mem.
'bers of associations now organized
are getting the services of these high
class purebred bulls at an average cost
considerably less than they formerly
paid for the services of scrub bulls or
registered bulls Of doubtful merit.
Many farmers in Maryland, Michigan
and Minnesota, when questioned re-
garding the value of cooperative bull
associations, estimated that the use of
sires belonging to the association in
creased the value Of the offspring in
the first generation from 80 TO 80 per
cent. The average Of these estimates
was 65 per cent.
The educational work of each asso-
citation makes the members alert to
prevent the introduction and spread
Of disease Of any kind. The we'll

Another effect Of overfeeding with
alfalfa is sort OF clogging of the
whole system, resulting in impaired
nutrition, filling of the legs and hooks,
softness. excessive. sweating. and i'm.
paired respiration. AS to the amount
to be fed, experience seems to indi.
cate that one and one-fifth pounds to
100 pounds Of live weight is about
the maximum amount for work
horses.
Because of Its high proportion of di.
gestible protein, alfalfa balances up
very well with corn. These two feeds
make the most economical ration the
Kansas farmer can feed.
