VIOLET TIME Is HERE.

The violet gatherers are having their day
and what a delightful time It is proving!
Only the Master Workman could have ere
ated the violet. The same has been said of the
rose and the lily, but not because Of the SINH
larity, their modesty, their unpretentious
charms. They are examples of marvellous crea-
tion the violet is proof of that divine care ex-
ercised in small things, turning out-in a bios
som no larger than hazelnut-a flower of
such perfection enraptures all who behold it.
The violet must be sought after; it does not
force itself upon attention. The quest adds to
the JOY Of acquiring it. One must go into the
felds-far from the town. On sunny banks. in
shady lanes, where marshes spread their damp
ness out to dry in the sun-here the violet lives.
Wordsworth's beautiful tribute comes to mind
at this season of the year:
A violet by a messy stone
Half hidden from eye!
Fair as star, when only one
Is shining in the sky.

THE BEST DAIRY FEED
Made From Grain From Which che
Human Food Values Have
Been Taken.
BY Prof. f. d. Fuller.
National Crop Improvemen. Service. ]

National Crop improvement servics.l
The reason why the best dairy
feeds are less expensive than the same
grains on the farm Is because the
principal elements of human food are
taken from these grains before they
are ever made into feed. The by
products of cereal mills, glucose fac
tories. malt houses, ETC., constitute
often more than so per cent of the
total bulk of mixed dairy feeds Of the
better class.
These oats, barley and corn by
products are considered by experts in
animal nutrition as very valuable
feed materials. After these cereals are
ground In the manufacture of alcohol,
for which the use is growing more i'm
portant daily in the arts, the solid
residue Is dried in vacuo, and is then
known as dried grains" II made
from corn, these grains contain on an
average of about 80 per cent crude
protein and 10 per cent crude fat. If
made from rye, while valuable, they
are Of somewhat lower feed value.
The barley residue contains over 20
per cent more crude protein than
wheat bran and twice as much crude
fat. In fact, their food value is
largely increased by the process.
All these products are widely used
by the best dairy feeders and are re-
lied upon very extensively in milk
production. There is no doubt of the
fact that IL the supply of these prod
ucts were radically limited or entirely
exhausted, it would have a serious eff
feet upon the milk production
throughout the country and the
dairymen would have one more bur-
den added to their already overtaxed
strength.
Cottonseed meal is composed prin-
cipally Of the kernel, with such por-
ton of the hull as is necessary In the
manufacture of oil. Cottonseed meal,
II choice, must contain at least Al per
cent crude protein. 1t is one of the
richest of all feeds in this substance
and carries about per cent crude
fat. On account of it's extreme con-
centration it can be fed only in linn
tied quantities and always in con-
Junction with some products to fur
nish bulk. This meal is an important
ingredient In many manufactured
feeds
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1917-07-13

cottonseed meal. and the man who il
looking for . low-priced feed IL sure
to get low grade. The demand for
cheap feeding ingredients has caused
the quality to be gradually whitfield
down. Consequently the farmer
nearly always works with feeds which
are poorer than he believes them to
be. He does not get adequate state
protection because inspectors do not
60 to farmers barn to draw sam
pies. and even IL they did, 1t would BIO
hard to get a complete chain of evil
dence.
A farmer has no facilities for hav-
Ing HIS feed analysed and he doesn't
know what he is working with. The
analyses of mixed feeds costs about
ten cents per ton, and If every farmer
will read the various bulletins from
the agricultural colleges he will soon
know those brands which can be de-
pended upon. There is no doubt that
ut the present prices of grain any
farmer can save money by selling his
cereal crops and buying mixed feed.
Cornmeal, oil meal and cottonseed
meal are all high, but the by-products
of barley and rye are all more reason
able in price.
Corn has become costly largely due
to the demand for pork and beef.
Americans will have those meats at
almost any price. This puts corn on
meat basis, and the dairy business
will have to fall back on the by-prod-
ucts Of grains.

Be MercifuI.

Never hurt any ones self respect.
Never trample on any soul, though II
may be lying in the veriest mire, for
that last spark Of self respect is its
only hope, its only chance, the last
seed of new and better life, the voice
Of God which still whispers to 1t: "You
are not what you ought to be, and you
are not what you can be. You are still
Gods child, still an immortal soul.
You may rise and conquer 1t and be a
man yet after the likeness of God,
who made YOU" oh, why crush that
voice in any heart? If you do the poor
creature is lost and lies where he or
she falls, never to rise again.-Charles

Starchy feeds like corn and oats
often sell as high as protein feeds be-
cause of the demand for them for
horses and other work animals.
Starchy feeds are also good to fatten
steers. That is why they are often as
high in price as dairy feeds, which are
strong in protein.
