sUCCULENT FEEDS FOR COWS
SiIage, MangeIs and Sugar Beets Are
All Valuable in Dairy Ration
Much WateN in Beets.

Silage, mangels, and sugar beets
are all valuable succulent feeds for
dairy cows. OF the three, corn silage
is the most valuable. Sugar beets are
about 20 to % per cent less valuable
and mangels very little less than
one-half as valuable. The reason why
beets and mangels are less valuable,
pound for pound, than corn silage is
that they contain more water.

SAVING COST OF GRAIN FEED
Much Roughage, Like Corn Fodder,
Cane or Straw May Be Utilized
Where Alfalfa Is Fed.
(By DIR. C. w. MCAMPBELL, Kansas

By DIR. C. w. M'CAMPBELL Kansas
Experiment Station)
At present prices combination of
six parts corn and four parts bran is
20 cents per 100 pounds cheaper than
corn alone and has about the same
feeding value as an equal weight Of
oats. By substituting ten to twelve
pounds alfalfa hay day instead of
prairie hay you can reduce the grain
ration about 20 per cent. Much rough
age, like corn fodder, cane or straw
may be utilized when alfalfa is fed, for
the richness of the alfalfa causes a
craving for other roughages.

Governor Goodrich

Indiana is watching with suspense the heroic
fight which Governor Goodrich is making against
the illness that has held him belfast for many
days
Goodrich became governor of Indiana at a
critical period in the nations history. He sig
nalized his elevation to the post by the inaugur
alton of policies that have redounded to the well
fare of the community.
The governor has been a surprise to many of
his friends His fearless stand for the rights of
the people and his demand for reforms exceeded
even the fondest hopes of the men who support
ed him.
When the war broke out, Governor Goodrich
forged to the front as one of the war govern
ors who appreciated the full significance of the
gigantic task that confronted the nation. Hard
ly had Congress declared war against the Imper-
ial Government of Germany before Governor
Goodrich called on the farmers of the state to
gather at their county seats to discuss methods
of increasing the crop yield of Indiana. The full
Importance of these conferences is to be seen in
the increased acreage that was put under the
pillow and in the heavy crops that were harvested
in Indiana this year.
Governor Goodrich is a type of who
draws on all his vitality when subject engross-
es his attention. His constitution was weakened

her vulgar kind. What was my hor-
ror, then, to see her deliberately
smiling at me, then coming toward us
with hand outstretched.
I realized the truth even before she
spoke. It was not at whom she was
smiling, but Dicky. She was Dicky's
friend!
why, bless my soul, Ii it isn't the
Dickybird," she cried so loudly that
everybody turned to look at u.s. i

returned Dicky easily. We're going
to have you all up some night soon. ,"
"See that you do she returned,
tweaking his ear as we passed on to
our seats.
I had not spoken during the CONVEX
sation., I had shaken the hand of the
woman and smiled at her. But over
and over again in my brain this ques-
ton was revolving:
who is this unpleasant woman who
calls my husband Dickyblrd, and VINO
is called Lii by him?"
But 1 love the very air of the thea
ire. so as Dicky and I sank into the
old-fashioned brocaded seats l reso-
lutely put away from my mind all
disturbing thoughts of the woman in
the lobby who appeared on such good
terms with my husband, and prepared
to enjoy every moment of the evening.
We'll done, Madge!" Dicky whisper
ed mischievously, as, after we had
been seated, let my cloak drop from
my shoulders without arising. You

Another 100000 Men

The United States is in this war, to win. If
some of US doubt Uncle Sans determination, the
of Secretary of War Baker that the
department plans for an army of 100000 men
should be convincing proof of our decision.
The war department also plans to go ahead
and examine 100000 more men for the first ma
tiona army. Out of the first 100000 men ex-
amined. the army gained 687,00O.
The men who are of military age should have
an opportunity to appear before the examining
boards at once in order that they might make
plans for the future. It is unfair to keep them
them, let the examinations proceed at once.
Secretary Baker has indicated that he wants the
men examined soon.
The unprecedented war credits that have
been passed by our national legislature coupled
with the announcement that an army of
100000 is to be put into the field, ought to
make the Kaiser quake in his boots.
If America has been chosen to make the final
push" that will end the reign of Hohenzollern-
ism, our government certainly is saving no mon
ey in supplying munitions of war and in prepar-
ing men for the combat None of the belligerents
have made such tremendous expenditures in sc
short time as has the United States.
Our allies cannot justly press the claim which
they made before the war, that we are so com
mercial in our instincts and training that we car
worship only the dollar and never a principle OF
an ideal. We have excelled the allies in both the
determination to win and the decision to spenc
our money to make sure victory
