secretary Of the Massachusetts, Civic
League, and one Of the foremost advo-
Gates Of cooperative effort for social
betterment in the country, says that
he reverently would burn all Of the
flags of the United States and have

IF the religious societies of the world
100 or even 80 years ago had come
together, 100000 corpses in Europe
would be alive today and up to
100000 cripples hale and hearty.

THE AVERAGE REFoRMER.

tNaIonnl Sfop IMPROVEMENT rervfce-t
The average reformer having SO
little at stake himself, plunges about
like a bull in a china shop, regard
less Of the results of his ardor.
An amusing incident is told of the
Secretary of Commerce. The can
manufacturers put up a howl that
unless they could get tin-plate to
make up, n canning of fruits and
vegetables could be done, so without
looking over the field it is said that
40 order was made that steel was to
be diverted by the manufacturers
from other projects and put at the
disposal of the can manufacturers.
II looked all right on the face of 1t,
but when the manufacturers of har-
vesting machinery demanded steel
which they contracted for, and found
that there was not steel for aprons,
II having been diverted to cans, a
h%urry-up call modifying the order
was issued, so that our harvesting
machines could be made in time for
the growing crop.
This illustrates how many plans
are ignorantly made robbing Peter
to pay Paul. Every enthusiast
who has a pet reform which is
always hitting some other business
instead of his own, never looks
around to see what the effect will be
before he plunges. The manufac-
turers of feed and the most success
full feeders in the country have a
right to demand hat that delicate
machine-the dairy cow-shall rot
be wrecked by hasty legislation.
Revolutionary reforms are seldom
efhcacious. Anything which disturbs
the food equilibrium should be
handled gradually. Experience has
shown that the most efficient way to
handle cereal products Is to remove
the human food first and feed the
residue to stock. Any other system
Is sheer extravaganza.

WRONG FEEDING METHODS.

There is an old story about a ship
captain who had a medicine chest. A
sailor was sick and he found that No.

was empty, so he took equal parts of
No. 40, which was s~trychnine, and
NO. Z. which was carbolic acid, and
added them together and made No. AZ
and the sailor died.
The application of this old story is
that many a feeder will think that II

NORTHWEST HAND
Orient Argus

Amy Arvilla Clark Davis was born
Sept. IL, 1885 in Addison county.
Vermont. Later she moved TO Tuck
ersmith, Ontario. Here she met and
on April IL, 1859, married the Rev.
John 7. Davis, a minister OF the Cos
pei in the NJ. e. church of Canada.
The young couple, eager for the adj
vancement Of the Lords Kingdom,
began their work together at Stanley.
This was to them the beginning of a
long and faithful life in the service OF
the master. The young wife entered
into the work with great zeal and
during the years of their itinerancy
she was sympathetic and unsparing
of herself in all situations into which
a minister's wife is thrown. Her sac
riice of her own time and energy was
only measured by her opportunity.
During the years there came to
bless the parsonage home seven chill
dren five OF whom are living TO mourn
her departure; William, Webster and
Mrs. Harvey Rudd of Orient, Mrs.
Eta Sweet of Santa Anna, California,
and Ernest of Bridgeport, Conn.
On, July 16, 1896 they moved to near
Orient, s. d., where they lived until
the death OF Mr. Davis To them was
given the privilege of spending more
than ffty-five years of wedlock. On
the occasion Of their golden wedding
anniversary the neighbors and friends
made a community jubilee out of 1t
and gathered in large numbers to cell
citrate. Those leaf old people were
greatly loved by all who knew them.
Mrs. Davis is remembered with the
deepest love OF all for her untiring
devotion to husband in the a of
his falling health and for her loving
ministrations to the community at
large.
She passed away Nov. 9th. 1917,
being SO years, 9 months and 10 days
old. Her going leaves a vacancy in
the life of the community that will be
felt for many years. We will all feel
the absence of Grandma Davis from
our midst. The funeral IA from the
M. e. church of Orient. conducted by
the pastor. Rev. r. B. Hughes. and
interrment was made in the Orient
cemetery.

DIFFICULT TO Mix FEEDS
A More Scientific Result Can Be Pro-
duced BY Machinery.
National Crop improvement Service

National Crop Improvement seryics.l
AS no two lots run alike, 1t is very
diiiieult to mix straight by-products
OF oats, barley, rye, corn. cotton.seed.
haxseed, etc., by measure, because it is
purely guessing. Only a few years ago
Intentional fraud or u~nintentional
careiessness was the rule. Before the
feed laws were passed, each manu-.
factarer adulterated all the trade
would stand.
Every car of feed sold to the con.
sumner is not analysed. and the farmer
cannot become a feed expert because
he has no laboratory. Not one car
out OF i've hundred is Officially In
spected. In the old days country
millers were throwing feeds together
with no knowledge of feed and were
running valuable cows and making the
farmer. poorer. In those days the feed
tables mere -rcES, the feeds didn't
mt the tables; the digestible analysis
method was incorrect; feed standards
for animals were not agreed upon nor
complete; the animals didn't fit the
standards; the buyer didn't know
what was in the feeds he bought to
mix; and there was an unavoidable
variation In the concentration of the
feed.
These conditions have been largely
overcome through the joint action OF
the government and state experiment
stations and the mixed feed manu-
factrrers who have every facility for
maintaining a uniform product. BY
using these scientifically prepared
feeds, many a herd has doubled its
yieid and profits. There are some
painters who can buy lead, oil and
dryer and mix and match their own
color uniformly but the best painters
OF today have learned that mill-made
brands are much better than any
thing they can mix with a paddle.
The same Is true In fertilizers to a
great extent. In mixed feeds there
a be no economy in home mixing
because the mixing factories, being
near the large markets, can utilize
by-pf oducts to the very best advan-
tage. Home mixing cannot be accom-
plishcd at one-tehth of a cent per ID.
besides the result is never twice alike
and cannot be without the help of q
laboratory.

THE DAIRY RATION
Feeding Tables Hard to Follow on
Account Of Variation Of
Ingredients.
National Crop improvement, servics.I

National Crop improvement, servics.l
For many years feeders have en-.
deavored to use so-called standard
tables showing the theoretical num-
Der of pounds each of so-called di-
gestible protein, fats and carbohy-
drates. These methods are fatally
defective for the following eason
First, the tables call for so much
digestible food. IL there was such a
thing as digestible food it might fur
nish a basis to 90 by. but digestibie
food is really apparently digestible
food. in that 1t disappears in the body.
Just what use is made Of 1t is not al
ways clear. Some OF 1t turns into gas,
some is converted into heat, and much
OF 1t Is used in the lahc. cs d:Sss.ilS
anu handling the food. In the case
Of straw and similar material, nearly
all of its energy Is used up in the
labor OF digesting it, leaving little or
no net gain. Straw should be re-
turned to the soil. Take two SAMPLES
or dried barley grains. each contain
ing the same amount OF digestible
food. and one will give twenty more
therms or heat units than the other.
One hundred pounds of digestible
food derived from roughage is about
equal to eighty pounds derived from
grain, SO II We add together things
which are unlike, We get no tangible
results. II is like adding so many
pounds to SO many gallons. So. the
digestible basis of figuring rations is
very inaccurate. The correct way is,
first. to ascertain how much protein
and energy q COW needs to sustain
life and keep weight. You can get
this from your experiment station,
and ascertain how much Is necessary
TO make one pound OF milk Of q GER
tain fat test, and then feed her as
much protein and energy as is needed
to maintain her and supply food for
as many pounds of milk as she can
make.
This is q very difficult problem
and few can do it. and we challenge
any two men to tackle the sama prob
lem under the same conditions and
arrive AZ the same result.
We cannot tell unless we try to find
cut. that a COW win not give more
milk on more feed. or maybe as much
milk on less feed. So feeding is large
iy experimental. as no two cows are
alike.
However. the law Of averages will
hold, and the feeder can save all this
trouble and much loss by feeding a
ration which his experiment station
has In most cases made, say three 10
four pounds Of milk for each pound
of mixed feed.
There Is one thing certain. The
more solids and fat In the milk, the
more feed needed per pound OF milk.
So. q good mixed feed which is prom
erly combined and All the rouehaee
shs will eat VIII greatly simplify your
feeding problem and q vers little en-
perimenttng will D D show you how
much concentrates each COW nesds Is
produces ( maxInum .yfold-
