RATIONS FOR COWS

Size of Animal, Quantity of Milk

In feeding cows three things must
be considered, the size of the COW, the
quantity of milk she produces, and the
kind of feed given.
Ordinarilysa large COW requires more
feed than small one. To produce 30
pounds of milk a COW may not require
twice as much feed as to produce Is,
but she will nevertheless require sub
stantial increase. Some feeds are rich

Moorhead News
BASEBALL is PRINCIPAL
RECREATION AT CAMP
So Declares Peterson, Though He Ad-
nits indoor Baseball Also Gets Place
With Prospective Officers.

The young men of Moorhead and
Fargo, who are in the officers train
ing camp at Fort Smelling, have en-
countered nothing Of a serious nature
yet. although there is some incon-
venience on account Of the rnumps.
| Happy" Peterson writes from the
fort telling of the work and recreation
at the camp as follows:
The companies here were given Sat-
urday afternoon and Sunday off, and
as a result most of the boys are TAX
| ing in the Twins" After a weeks
work a holiday Is certainly appreciat-
ed.
Affairs are pretty we'll systematized
here now. At the beginning of the
week a weekly schedule Is posted on
the bulletin board of each company's
barracks. In this schedule the work
for every hour of the week is mapped
out so that 1t can be seen at a glance.
The work consists of setting up exer-
cises, rife, saber, and bayonet man
ual, position and aiming exercises, and
drill of the squad, platoon, and COM
pany in both close and extended order.
At present our company is in quar-
antine with that deadly disease known
as the mumps. A week ago one man
was sent to the hospital, and several
men with sore throat symptoms were
isolated to keep the mumps from
spreading. Nothing more in this line
has showed up. however.
The other day we took a light hike
for two hours, carrying rifles and light
equipment. The mid point of the
march was Minnehaha where we stay
ed about ten minutes. Soon we expect
to take a longer hike with full march
ing equipment.
Moorhead visitors have seen at the
camp so far are Bob Kiefer and Ed
frost. We also saw A. F. Colwell from
Fargo, who very generously donated a
large box of excellent cigars to the
Fargo and Moorhead boys in our COM
pany (for which we take this oppor-
tunity to thank him.
The chief recreation here after sup
per is indoor baseball. This is a mis-
homer because it is played outside.
The boys enter into the spirit of the
game heartily and certainly enjoy
themselves. We played Co. B Friday
night and beat them by the close score
of 10 to 1S. The combination of 10 and
Friday evidently proved their undo
ing. A return game is scheduled for
Monday night.

New York. May 2s.-(special)
With high-class teams in both
leagues local fans are beginning to
consider the chances of a worlds
series wherein only New York bal
teams have part. IF the Giants and
the Yanks travel through their re-
spective races at the strides they
promise to the fans hereabouts car
reasonably hope for pennants in both
leagues.
This interesting occurrence would
excite the fans to high pitch of in
terest not only because such a
worlds series would be rare and re-
markable, but also because 1t would
bring together Bill Donovan and
Muggsy McGraw, the idols Of New
York's baseball public.
Local fans, whether they are root
ing for Giants and Yankees. would
give good arm to see Bill Donovan
tackle McGraw. A worlds series
between the teams these men pilot
would produce more talk and specu-
lation than any baseball event In
years. .ra
Both managers are of the scrappy,
Woodworking sort and determined to
take advantage Of every chance,
They urge their players for more
pep and vigor all the time and are
both quick to slip an unexpected
trick over on the adversary. New
York fight fans may be pardoned for
praying for a pennant in each league.
A Donovan McGraw encounter would
be a great show.
