RATIONS
FOR A DAIRY HERD
Economy Demands Home-G Grown
Feeds, Especially Roughage,
Be Fed to Cattle.

(By CHARLES I. BRAY. Colorado Agri-
cultural College. Fort Collins. Colo.)
Economy in feeding usually demands
that as much Of the ration as possible
be made up of homegrown fe%edstuffs,
especially with regard to the roughage.
First. provide for all the good, clean
farm-grOwn roughage that the COW
will eat up clean, as the nutrients In
roughages are generally much cheaper
than In concentrated feeds.
Now consider whether the grain on
hand is such as to make a balanced
ration with the roughage used. Con-
centrates must be used, because cows
cannot consume enough coarse. bulky
feed to supply all their own bodily re-
quirements, and have enough left for a
large flow of milk. II the dairyman
has plenty of alfalfa hay he can prac-
tically balance his rations nicely with
ordinary farm grains, such as corn,

from the Army and Navy Journal may

add to the information we give here.
The army hoists its flag at sunrise and

BY WILLIAM 4. RADFoRD.

When the growth Of towns and small
cities Is discussed with reference to
building activity, sooner or later the
multi-family house will be mentioned.
1t Is natural to associate the fiat or
apartment building with a thickly-set-
tied community, the type being, at first
thought, one Of necessity rather than
preference. 1t cannot be doubted, how
ever, that there are cOnveniences in
apartment life which appeal to many
people. An example of the eagerness
with which apartment rentals are TAX
en- up Is found In a recent occurrence
In a city of about 10000 population In
northern Illinois. This city, despite
Its size, has very few apartment build
lngs. Last year one Of the real es-
tate firms announced its intention to
build a modern department building
on a very well located piece of land,
nine blocks from the center Of the
main business district. Rentals varied
from $45 to $65 per month. Before a
shovel of dirt had been turned the
firm had signed leases for every inch
Of space in the building.
Many cities considerably smaller
than this one have numerous apart
ment buildings, which have proved to
be satisfactory investments to their
owners These buildings are expensive
to build and their construction Is sell
dom attempted unless the investor Is
safe In assuming that the demand for
them exists. For this reason, the apart

STARRY BANNER MEANS MUCH
Especially at This Time Should
Every Citizen Salute the Glorious
Emblem Of Our Country.

There are times when Americans
seem lacking in respect to the nation
al banner. To thousands 1t has
seemed to have lost its symbolism. By
many an audience the national colors
have apparently been regarded as an
Incidental part Of the decorations.
Since the Spanish-American wal there
have been no drumbeats to stir the
~heartbeats. We have not fallen into
actual disrespect for the flag, but our
attitude has bordered upon indiffer-
ence. while there has been both yelled
and open sneering and contempt for
the men who wear the uniform of the
nation and for those citizen soldiers
who are pledged solemnly and first Of
all to the unfolding of the principles
for which It stands.
The hundred and thirty-eighth
birthday of the flag finds this nation,
whose symbol 1t is, facing a crisis 80
grave that any attempt to minimize It
would be useless. In such q time It ID

The Futility Of Maxims.

All people of broad, strong sense
have an instructive repugnance to the
men of maxims; because such people
early discern that the mysterious com
plexity Of our life is not to be EN-
braced by maxims, and that to lace
ourselves up in formulas Of that sort
is to repress all the divine promptings
and inspirations that spring from
growing insight and sympathy. And

this time, II gives the residents an Oh.
portunity to grow at least u part OF
the vegetables required for their
tables.
The accompanying perspective view
and floor plan Is sufficient to adequate
~ establish the beauty and convenience
which may be obtained in this double
house type. The basic virtue Is found
In the arrangement Of the house as a
whole. The floor plan shows that a
U-shnpe Is followed in. the general lay.
out. BY this means the two parts Of
the house are sufficiently separated to
provide for privacy and lack of disturb
ing transmission of sound from one
part to the other of the house. This
arrangement also facilitates the ven.
t~llation of bedrooms which face on the
court.
The beauty of the exterior is plainly
evident. Walls are finished with shin
giles having a wide exposure to the
weather. The roof design is distinc-
tive, following somewhat after the lines
of the English matched effect. This
roof could be made even more effec-
tive by the use of the Americanized
thatch-effect roof construction now be-
ing introduced by leading manufacture
ers of stained wood shingles and com
position shingles. The colonial lnfu-
ence Is found in the design of windows
and In the shutters. An effective meth
cd Of finishing this house would be to
stain the walls pure white and paint
the shutters green.
There are several features of the
interior of this design WHICH should be
noticed. The arrangement is SYM
metrical about the center line of the
house. There Is a large living room.
dining room and kitchen with pantry
along the outer part OF each side Of
the house, from front to back. Two
bedrooms and a screened porch form
the inner part Of each side Of the
house, facing the center court. The
front porch Is built under the main
roof Of the house and Is used by both
families. Small reception halls at the
ends Of this porch form the entrance
to the two living rooms
Attention Is called to the connecting
bedroom and screened porch arrange
ment. This combination Is designed
for those who recognize the wisdom in
open air sleeping but who do not care
to undergo the discomfort Of dressing
in a cold oom during the cold wealth
err. The sleeping porch Is entirely
open IN one side and has a window
in the opposite wall, so that ventila-
ton Is certain. The bedroom may be
used, then, simply as a dressing ROOF
and may be kept warm for that pur-
pose. French doors are placed be-
tween the bedroom and porch and
small windows are placed on each side
Of the doors. in the full length of the
doors. Although this bedroom has no

ment building is a product of thickly
settled communities.
The fiat building precedes the apart
ment with respect to the growth Of the
municipality for the reason that 1t is
cheaper to maintain. In the flat build
ing the renter provides his W heat,
while in the apartment, janitor service
Is provided by the owner. This, of
course, increases the rent which must
be asked for the apartments. SOME
people, living in small cities or towns,
do not care for the conventional fiat
building in which each floor is occu-
pied by a separate family. For this
reason, there is nearly always q de-
mand for two-famlly houses In which
both families occupy ground floor
space, or in which the twO-story build
ing Is divided after the manner of the
duplex apartment, each family having
space on two floors.
1t would seem logical to suppose that
a building of this kind would be popu-
lar In almost any small city or town,
even In rather small towns, in case
there is any demand for houses to
rent. This type of double house may
be made very artistic, as the example
which we will presently describe will
show. There is an independence In
the two parts of such a building which
compares very favOrably with private
houses built On the average lots Of
growing communities. A few of these
houses In a well-kept town are impress
sive and give the appearance Of pro-
gressiveness which is always noticed
by strangers, especially those who
have In mind the investment of their |
capital in Industrial or other business !
projects.
Perhaps the greatest value of this
type of double house in the small town
is found when two branches Of a fam
lily occupy the opposite sides. By shar-
ing in the expense of construction,
each family obtains a home which is
considerably better from every stand
point than either could build alone
for the same amount. This type of
house of necessity requires a wide lot,
makes its use more or less linn
tied in cities where land values are
high. On the other hand. the wide
lot, when it can be obtained for a rea-
amount. is one of the real vir-
tues of the home. 1t offers the pos
of utilizing natures decora-

Seven reasons why the keeping OF
live stock Is essential to sound agri.
culture are set forth In an article by
George NJ. ROmmel in the 1916 year
book Of the U. 8. department Of ag.
r%iculture: Briefly, Mr.. Rommel's sew
en- reasons are the maintenance Of soil
fertility, the utilization of raw mate.
rial, the need Of motive power on the
farm. cash income, the added attrac-
tlveness OF a farm on which there Is
live stock, the training in business
obtained by keeping animals,
and better and more economical lIv-
Ing for the farm family.
To maintain soil fertility, says Mr..
Rommel, humus Is necessary. This
can be obtained from two sources
green crops plowed under. or ~barnyard
manure. When green crops are plowed
under, however, there Is no direct rev.
enue from them. By feeding these
crops to live stock, valuable products
that can be exchanged for cash are
obtained. At the same time the ma
nure produced by the animals retains
a very large percentage Of the fertil-
izing value of the feed. For this rea-
sOn 1t Is more economical to feed than
to pillow under without feeding, and the
most practical source of humuS Is sta
BILE manure.
Farmer a Manufacturer.
The farmer with live stock Is from
n point Of view a manufacturer. He
takes lean, unfinished animals and
grain or forage as his raw materials
and by combining them produces beef,
mutton, pork, and dairy products. Like
all manufacturing, this process must
be conducted with skill and intelli-
gence If it is to pay, but If the farmer
possesses these qualities he derives a
profit than he could obtain
through the sale of crops and animals
are many products on the farm which
bring little or nothing on the market.
They can, however, by skillful manage
ment be made to assist in the prOduc-
ton Of meat. The thrifty farmer
makes use In this way of all %rOughage
On his farm that would otherwise be
unsuitable. The cornstalks go into the

this grain mixture will increase pro-
ductiOn.
If the roughage consists entirely of
native hay, straw, cornfodder or corn
silage, he can still use his homegrown
grains, but it will be necessary to use
bran, c%ottOnseed meal, or linseed meal
also to supply sufficient protein. A
good grain mixture in this case would
consist of equal parts ground barley,
ground oats and oil cake or oilmeal.
If the roughage ration is of a mixed
nature, such as 10 pounds of alfalfa
hay and 30 to 80 pounds corn silage.
the dairyman might use a mixture Of
two parts corn chop. two parts bran or
oats and n part ~cottonseed cake.
These grain mixtures should be fed at
the rate of n pound of grain for ev-

doors are opened between 1t and the
screened porch, the room will be thor
Oughly ventilated. When the combina-
ton is used in the first method sug.
gested, however, this Is a most excel
lent feature.
Everyone will easily recognize the
good qualities of a house of this type
and, as has been already said, If there
were more of these houses carefully
built and well taken care of In almost
any of the towns in the country, 1t
would result in a very much improved
appearance Of the communities af.
