SILAGE NECESSARY FOR cow
Thirty Pounds Per Day Is About Right
1t Won't Hurt to Give Her
All She Will Eat.

About 30 pounds of silage per day
is required by the dairy COW, while a
beef animal will consume one-third
more, or possibly a still greater
amount. 1t will not hurt COW to
feed her all that she will consume If
the silage is good and is fed regularly.

IF NOT CAUGHT BY DRAFT
MEN SHOULD VOLUNTEER
Col. Roosevelt Urges Every Citizen
to Offer Services in Present
Emergency.

NEW YORK, June S.-Bcing passed
over by the selective draft does not abb
solve man from the duty of persist
entity Offering his services to his coun-
try in whatever way they can best be
used. Col. Theodore Roosevelt declared
last night before the American Medical
Association convention here. Failure
to do so means unfitness to be citi-
zen. he said.
Some men talk as II their duty
would be fully performed il they served
when drafted" the colonel said. This
is great error. Service under the
draft merely represents minimum duty
You should strive to render far more
than minimum service. Many men, of
no special aptitude, will not be able to
Therefore. the drafted man who does
his duty stands on n full level of honor
with the man who volunteers.
But the man who is not drafted does
not stand on level with his drafted
brother unless he eagerly and persist
entity seeks the opportunity to volun-
teer wherever he can do useful service
If he is denied this opportunity through
no fault of his own. then he is free
from all blame. although if he is of the
right type he will bitterly regret that
he has not been allowed to render the
service. But he must act in good
nifty.
Young doctors and young men fitted
to render service of any kind in the
Medical Corps are badly needed at this
moment. Let every young doctor,
every young man fit to render aid I'M
der doctor. come forward at once and

because they both love life more than

still young-a thing for which few

II was this that made Miss Marlowe
