MILK AND BUTTERFAT FEEDS
Utilize Every Possible MorseI Of Food
Teeth and Stomach Wear Out
First In Cow.

Every possible morsel of food fed to
dairy cows should be utilized for the
production of milk and butterfat. The
teeth and the stomach are the two
organs of a COW which wear out first,
especially the former. This Is caused
In great part by the COW having to eat
hard dry ungrOund grain. There is an
old saying, mo chain is stronger than
Its weakest link" With the dairy COW
also this holds true. When one organ
of digestion wears out, then the whole
COW is useless.
A good dairy COW should be kept as
long as possible, and if she is properly
fed and cared for, she will be useful
for about fifteen years. Some give a
nice mess of milk at the age of twenty
years.

COLLEGE PRESENTS A PLAY
An English Comedy Wall Per-
formed 10 a Big House,


Our dramatic critic 30 enjoyed the
performance of "A Pair of Spec
tacles" by the students of the college
at the town hall on Wednesday evening
that he is at loss for a point of ad-
verse critical attack, supposing that to
be critics chief delight. So ably did
the students make this comedy enter
tanning that we think they would be
justified in repeating it either here or
hereabouts for those who missed it,
In the hands of amateurs a comedy so
often becomes painful tragedy that
those who reproduced this old success
of John Hare's are to be congratulated
on making it so lrresistably funny,
John A, Reynolds, in the impersonation
Of the optomistic Mr.. Godfnch carried
a big portion of the acting and dialogue
with great success, while Gregory, the
pessimistic brother, impersonated by
Dan Mason, was equally popular not
withstanding his harder role. Criti-
cally, nothing could be said against the
excellence Of Mason's fine acting, fur
Their than that no amount of stagecraft
could disguise the fact that by nature
Mason would rather have chuckled than
growled. But growl he did to the com
plete satisfaction Of a big house of both
college and townspeople and some from
out of town He growled until his
benevolent brother finally gave way to
his doctrine of suspicious selfshness,
and for ludicrous half-hour he was Il
pessimist, Before the curtain finally
fell, however, he returned to his benev-
client vision of things and beamed upon
