EALRY PAsTuRINe is NOT
ADVISABLE, SAYS LARSEN

The time between feeding in the
barn under winter conditions and
plentiful pasture is often a critical
time for the dairy cow. 1t is during
that time that she is likely to lose
both in milk flow and in flesh, when
considerable extra care and feed will
be necessary to bring her back. In
some instances she will never get
back to her normal flow of milk. In
that way considerable money may be
lost.
Some farmers permit their cows to
run from the barnyard and into the
pasture at will. AS a result the cows
begin to eat grass as soon as it is
above ground and starts to get green.
When a COW gets her appetite set for
grass she eats very little hay after
wards. Probably this is in part due
to her craving for grass, but it is also
considered that her teeth will not

partially accustomed to the succulent
grass. AT this time the COW does not
get enough grass to supply her body
and milk organs with nutrients, Meth
er will she eat enough hay in the
barn.
1t is usually best to not allow the
herd to get into the pasture until
there is enough grass to supply them.
Keep them in the barn on dry feed.
Secondly. it is better for the pasture,
since grass grows from the leaf as
we'll as from the root. Besides, the
cow tramps down a large amount of
grass IN wet and soggy soil. From
this standpoint also, it is best to de-
lay putting the oHs in pasture Until
there is plenty of grass.-C. Larsen.

That Rev. Gay G. White, who re-
Gently came to this city from Port-
land, Maine, is making a most favor
able impression. not only upon his
w congregation, but upon others
with whom he comes il contact, is a
TACT that has impressed those who
are cognizant of the situation.
Mr.. White is a young man of ster-
ling character and wide reading. Not
only that, but his writings for some
of the religious press have stamped
him as a man of broad vision and
superior intellectually.
And one Of the pleasing features of
his %pastorate in the First Methodist
church of this city, which has been
fortunate in the calibre and high
standing of it's ministry, is that Mrs.
White is an especially versatile and
accomplished helpmate in the work
to which her husband has given his
life service.

good pastors in recent years as Rev.

1t is not customary in the house for
one to explain a vote. Roll calls are

times avail themselves of the privi-
lege of saying why they vote this

Probably Miss Rankin did not know

apparent she must say something.

gle within her heart, Miss Rankin sat
back in her seat and cried.
Congressman Good of Iowa had sat
beside her during the long roll call.
He whispered something to Miss Ran

III response 10 the call issued by
Mayor Pro TEN A. H. Cornwell, in
the absence of Mayor A. T. Hopkins,
who was at Sioux Falls, the Goss hall
was packed with local men and wom-
en- last Thursday evening to discuss
the presidents bugle note to the ma
ton.
Mr.. Cornwell presided during the
early part of the meeting until the
mayor arrived home on the train,
when the latter was asked to take the
chair.
The Fourth Regiment band was
present and e%nlivened the occasion
with patriotic airs.
Alderman Cornwell in opening the
proceedings, said that it has generally
been stated that the people of the
middle west and the extreme west are
Indifferent regarding the war situat-
tion-that is to say, they are accused
-of failing to accord the president that
enthusiastic. support which the east
ern section thinks that the exigences
of the case demand. He said he had
called the people together, believing
that, SO far as WATERFOWL and South
Dakota are concerned, there is no
foundation for the eastern. conception
of the western situation. The people
Of the west, he said, now that was
has been precipitated, will be found
lending their loyal and aggressive
support to the national policy.
Hon. J.. G. Mcfarland was intro
duced for a few remarks, and request
ed to conclude with the reading of
the presidents recent message to
congress. Both Mr.. McFarland's OBJ
servations and the reading of the
message evoked prolonged applause.
The chairman thens appointed a
committee consisting Of General M.
w. Sheafe, Postmaster J. w. Martin
and General c. H. Englesby to draft
and present suitable resolutions.
Short speeches, in response to the
chairman's invitation, were made BY
Mayor Hopkins, who presided during
the balance Of the evening, Geo. w.
Case, Walter Slower, States Attorney
A. J. Haugan, L. W. Stocked (who
assured the audience that he spoke
