in the form Of grass. A COW giving a
pound and half of butter daily should
have about five pounds daily, and for
two pounds of butter, give seven or
eight pounds Of grain. When not more
than four or five pounds Of grain is
fed, it can all be corn. If more than
that is needed, some bran or a small
amount of cottonseed meal should be
added. These recommendations hold
good only when pastures are good. In
late summer it will often be necessary
to feed more grain to high-produciag
cows, or to give some silage or green
feeds to help out the pastures.

GRAIN TO COWS ON PASTURE

G. h. Eckles in press bulletin Of
Missouri station:
Does it pay to feed grain to cows
on pasture? The results obtained at
the Missouri experiment station indicate
that it depends largely upon how much
milk the cows give and how good the
pasture is. If cow is producing less
than pound of butter each day, the
necessary food can be obtained from a
good pasture. If she produces more
than this, some grain can be fed with
profit. This means that a Jersey COW
should be able to get enough food from
grass to make about twenty pounds Of
milk daily and Holster about twenty
five to thirty pounds. It will pay to
feed grain to all cows giving above
these amounts ~ It becomes impossible
for the animal to gathsr sukicient feed

Hannah Miller = How the
First Flag Was Copied
From a Painting.

On June IA, 1916 during the revolu-
tionary war an artist painted a picture
Of flag. 1t had thirteen white stars
in blue field and thirteen red ant!
white stripes. This was then taken to
the home of Betsy Ross where she took
a soldiers old blue army coat. an old
white shirt and an old piece of red
flannel, sewed them together and made
a flag. Washington. Mr.. Ross and one
other man were the overseers of this.
They were going to have a six pointed
star but Mrs. Ross suggested five
pointed one.
The red is for purity, white is for
bravery and blue is the star from
heaven. They were going to add star
and stripe for each new state but soon
saw 1t would make too many stripes so
left 1t thirteen stripes and added new
star for each new state, There are now
thirteen stripes and fortycight stars.

Ruth Darneille - School
Composition-C0tt0n.

Dear Juniors:
1 am sending you one OF my schoo
compositions about cotton.
Cotton is a plant that grows in thu
southern part of the United States. The
cotton plant that is called sea island
cotton may grow as high as eight OF
ten feet The leaves are dark greer
with blue vines The flower resembles
that Of a single hollyhock. The seed
vessel or fruit is a round pod and is
called the boil 1t. is this that contains
the fiber for which the plant is valued
The sea island cotton can only be
raised upon the lowlands and takes it,
name from the fact that 1t was first
raised on islands off the coast Of South
Carolina and Georgia. AS fast as the
bolls open they must be picked. In
early times the picking was done by
slaves, but successful cotton picking
machines have been invented and are
in use in large fields.
After the cotton is picked it is sent
to the gin house where it is ginned or
separated from the seeds. The fiber is
placed in presses where it is pressed
into bales of 500 pounds each.
The United States raises about four
ffths Of the cotton grown and supplies
the markets of Europe as well as the
mills of our own country.
Cotton requires soil consisting of n
sandy loan containing large amounts
of lime and phosphate and rainfall Of
not less than forty inches, so distribut-
ed as to leave a gradually dry season
in which to mature.
When this continent was discovered
the inhabitants of Mexico and Peru
had attained good degre of skill in
raising cotton and manufacturing it
into clothing.
The picking of cotton began after the
settlement Of the old colonies but the
expense of separating the fiber from
the seed was so great that cotton was
not profitable crop. There are two
kinds Of cotton. the names Of which
are upland or short fiber and sea island
or long fiber. Both kinds are raised III
the United States.

Aaron Fellows-Writes True
Bee Story in Which His
Mamma Took Part.

Dear Juniors:
l will write a story about bees.
One time there were two girls, Mary
and Mary Ellen, but they thought
themselves young ladies.
Once they went to pick cherries for a
man who had lots of cherry trees. At
first they ate every big cherry but they
soon got to tasting bitter. They pick
ed nine gallons apiece. The man gave
them one gallon each for their share.
They were awful mad for they ex-
pected to get half. so they started
home They wanted to do something
hateful, so they picked some big cher
ries and threw them at the bees that
had settled on the outside OF the hive.
The bees flew at them and stung them
several times. The mans wife ran out
to see what was the trouble and took
them in and rubbed sweet cream on
them. They were ashamed to tell why
why they got stung.
That evening there was an ice cream
social and they were too sick to go.
Mary (my mamma) had big sting on
her lip and Mary Ellen had one I'M
der the eye. ] think they must have
looked pretty.
