RACING DISPLEASING TO BUGS
With Few Exceptions No Marks Were
Set Up for 1918 Entries to Shoot
Atone Exception.

The 1917 harness racing season just

ways. although very satisfactory in
others.
With few minor exceptions, no
records were set up for 1913 entries
to shoot at. The most notable ex-
ception was that of the Real Lady.

FEED IMPORTANCE
FOR WINTER DAIRY
Economy in Feeding Cows as In
diViduals and Not as Herd
Expert Tells of Errors.

Quantity Of feed ranks next to the
kind of feed in dairy ratiOns. Econo-
mical feeding demands that cows be
fed as individuals, and not as a herd.
Too frequently each cow In a herd Is
fed the same amount Of grain, regard
less of how much milk she Is produc-
ing. BY this practice some cows Will
be underfed, while others will be over
fed.
1t should be understood that an anil
NAL always uses q certain amount Of
the food 1t receives to maintain the
body. This is the first use to which
the food is put, and Is called the ra-
ton Of maintenance. This amount Is
required by the animal whether or
not she is producing milk. All feed
above this amount is used for milk
production, or is stored on the body
of the animal as fat. In the case Of
the young animal part Of this excess
is used for growth.
OF the two mistakes made In feed
ing, perhaps underfeeding is most
common, according to G. II. Eckles OF
the Missouri College Of Agriculture. 1t
Is a serious mistake to feed a COW on
ly enough to keep up her body. She
must receive feed to keep her milk
production up to capacity. If COW
loses weight while In milk, she Is not
receiving sufficient food. A good cow
If not fed enough. will produce milk
for time at the expense Of her body ;
that is, she will take the surplus flesh
from her body, and convert 1t into
milk and thereby will lose live weight.
On the other hand, when COW is
overfed she will begin to fatten In a
short time. This condition may be
corrected by .giving her only the
amount she needs for maintenance
and for milk production. Such feed
ing will maintain practically a uniform
weight.
Roughness Is the first important
consideration In feeding cows. A COW

suits from the fact that the first men,
toned finds its appeal In simplicity
while the second must rely upon har-
mony between its parts.
Fundamentally. the roof, which is a
very noticeable feature of this kind Of
Dutch Colonial house. must be very
carefully designed II the appearance
is to be satisfactory from every angle.
As a matter Of fact, the multi-gabled
design offers the very advantage that
II is capable of being made attractive
when viewed from any angle. There
Is not the necessity of resortlng to
special methods Of breaking up large
expanses Of roof area. The dormers,
If any are used. must be small and
rather unobtrusive. The slope Of the
roof Is necessarily quite steep. This
is necessitated by the fact that the
outer walls of the building are not car
ried up to the ceiling line of the second
floor rooms since to do this would give
the building a clumsy appearance due
TO excessive wall surface and height.
Furthermore, proportionally large
quantity of material is saved by drop
ping the caves down below the ceiling
line and narrowing the second floor
rooms to obtain full room height. OF
course, the sleeper the roof slope can
be made, without excessive use of ma
terials and unsatisfactory appearance.
the less the rooms must be reduced in
size In order that they may have full
height. The matter Of lighting and
ventilating second floor rooms offers
the only structural difficulty and there
are numerous ways of solving this
problem. Windows In the main walls

How to Save Butter.

"Carelessness about butter Is COM
mon American sin against thrift. In

the habit of taking huge helpings of

The remedy is simple. Cut slices of

into four pieces. When the butter is
served, each member of the family

of this kind and are very attractive.
The windows are divided into small
panes which. aside from the fact that
it presents more distinguished ap-
pearance than a solid plain window, is
more economical because, in case OF
breakage, several of the smaller panes
are cheaper and easier to replace than
one large one.
The dormers, decorations over doors

NEW STADIUM SEATS 1890

That part of the stadium now under

are some 5000 concrete seats, built on
an earth embankment. and about 300
seats for "W" men in front of the rail-

wooden seats for 1900 persons are be-

The 1915 legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the stadium and the 1917
legislature added $4,000. OF this,
about $500 was spent in preparing
the field and grading the hill for the

Rouehage.
Timothy hay Is popular roughage
for horses. Bronze grass makes good
hay which is equal to timothy hay In
feeding value. Orchard grass, If cut
in early bloom, is equal to the best Of
the hay grasses, and carries consid-
erably more crude protein than tim

Clover hay is likely to be dusty. but

Alfalfa hay makes an excellent feed
for mares If it is fed once a day and
timothy or corn fodder given at the
other feeding. Occasionally alfalfa hay
Is not properly cured, causing 1t to
mold badly, in which case 1t should
not be fed to the horses. Farmers
have reported occasionally that alfalfa

but it is likely that this trouble will
not be noticed If the alfalfa does not
make up over one-half of the rough

SuccuIence.
Succulent feeds are those which are
Juicy, and are easily assimilated. Such
feeds have a cooling, laxative effect on

feeds on farms are grass, carrots, rut-
abagas, sugar beets and silage. Grass,
although of a succulent nature, isrgen-
orally used as the entire ration
