neither, the COW would not have beer

Power Precludes Perfection.


Rabindranath Tagore in the Atlantic:
Man in his fullness is not powerful,
but perfect. Therefore, to turn him
into more power, you have to curtail
his soul as much as possible. When
we are fully human, we cannot fly at
one another's threats; our instincts Of
social life, our traditions of moral
ideas stand in the way. If you want
me to take to butchering human be-
ings, you must break up that whole
ness of my humanity through some
discipline that makes my will dead, my
thoughts numb, my movements auto
matte; and then from the dissolution
Of the complex personal man will come
out that abstraction, that destructive
force, which has no relation to the
human truth, and therefore can be
easily brutal or mechanical. Take
away man from his natural surround
ings, from the fullness of his COM
munal life, with all it's living associa-
tions of beauty and love and social OBJ
legations, and you will be able to turn
him into so many framments of ma
chine for the production of wealth on
a gigantic scale. Turn a tree into a
log and it will burn for you, but it
will never bear living flowers and
fruit.

appointed by the mayor all books in
it's possession and cooperate with said
board in every possible way. Too
much cannot be said in commentator

contemplated "tag day" until the
library is established as public in

Feeding Cuts Cost and Raises Profits

Feeding Cuts Cost and Raises Profits.
A dairy farmer in Clinton county,
Iowa., last year decreased the cost of
the feed for 10 cows nearly so per cent
and increased the profit of these cows
nearly 200 per cent, says H. H. Kildee,
University Farm, St. Paul. He did this
by feeding in proportion to production
instead of feeding all his COWS alike.
With good corn silage and we'll cured
clover or alfalfa hay which has been
cut at the proper stage Of maturity,
says Mr.. Kildee, dairy cow should
have one pound Of grain mixture for
each 3 or ~ pounds Of milk pro-
duced. In the absence Of silage, clover
or Italia, more concentrates are need
ed. Ground corn or corn cob meal
should form the basis of the ration in
the corn belt. In the absence of corn,
rolled barley, ground spelts, damaged
wheat or hominy may be used Ground
oats are excellent but often too ex-
pensive except for calves, cows just
before and after calving, and test
cows. Bran, oil meal, gluten feed,
brewers grains, cottonseed meal, and
wheat midlings are among the most
commonly used feeds. The choice and
proportion must be governed by the
relative costs which will vary from
month to month and from one locality
to another and the choice of feeds will
also depend upon whether or not silage
and clover or alfalfa hay are available.

RECORD LAYING HENS.

a Flock in Dalbo, Isanti County, Pro-
vided Owner With Eggs Galore.
Fifty single comb Rhode Island Red
hens provided their owner, Orlando
P. Merrill, Of Dalbo, Isanti county.
with almost 1000 eggs the first "a
days of this year.
The following interesting facts are
taken from timely interview
with Mr.. Merrill, published in the
Cambridge North Star:
In speaking Of the 1000 egg flock
recently the owner said in part:
"When the hens gave us two eggs be-
fore z o'clock New Years morning
and turned out two dozen before sun
set, my wife and I thought it would
be interesting to keep little tab on
their performances. In December
we had gathered 80 dozen, but the
next month there were 70 dozen.
From the first Of the year until now,
March IL, we have had 166 dozen,
or 1892 eggs, in II days from the
fifty hens. We sold 100 dozen in
January and February, used an ave-
rage Of more than six eggs day
for the family table, and obtained
more than $40 from those sold. Our
sales were made by parcel post, most
of them going through the Dalbo post
office and being hauled to Cambridge
by the reliable mail carrier, Mr.. Fri
berg, who by the way, carried to Dali
DO the chicks which were the founda-
ton Of the flock.
"Since being a resident of Dalbo I
have heard neighboring farmers say
they got no eggs in winter, attribute
the blame to cold hen house; and
once in Princeton I heard lady ex-
press satisfaction that her flock of 60
hens were giving her from 10 to Is
eggs a day. She said she fed them
real we'll on table scraps. It is adj
mitted our hens were treated some
what better, but they returned the
kindness l. think. Their house and
scratching shed is only a shell of
siding over tar paper, but we put in
a small alright heater and kept the
temperature above freezing all winter.
That did not require much wood nor
care. We mixed the common grains
and made the hens scratch for them
in three or four inches of straw thrown
on the dirt floor of the scratch shed.
They were fed on grains twice day
and had hopper from which they
could get simple dry mash at any
time. I believe the heating of the
house helped, and that it did them
good to hunt for their feed; but it is
my opinion we had the foundation for
their success in getting stock from a
winter laying strain, not high priced
show stock, but good utility birds for
which we paid only 1Oc each.''
Mr.. Merrill's flock gave him an ave-
rage Of % eggs per day for II days,
or SO per cent of one whole egg per
hen per day. The Chicago flock of "a
hens lay II eggs per day for 1913 days
or 80 per cent of one egg per hen per
day.

Hason Cravens, an employee Of this

one nearest him and cut off it's tail.
The balance Of the wolf escaped. The
boys say that Hason shot at that por-
