That eminent self-advertiSer, HOudl-

of his purchase of the Bernhardt sta
tue. You may possibly remember that
the statue was presented to Nine.
Bernhardt by John Drew, in the name
of the actors of America, and after
wards was discovered not to have been
paid for. The sculptor's wife sent
Bernhardt bill for it and Bernhardt
promptly responded that she had ac-
cepted it as a gift and would send it
back rather than pay for it. A most
embarrassing situation enSued and all
the newspapers commented upon it.
Then came HOudini to the fore. He
paid the sculptor's wife for the statue
and wrote Nine. Bernhardt begging her
to keep it with his compliments and
forget an incident which had brought
embarrassment to the door of the
worlds greatest artistic. HOudini has
Just finished tabulating the returns

date 1856 clippings describing his
highly cOmmendable act and linking
his name with Bernhardtis have been

length. Estimating this advertising at

Cows must be healthy and kept

Barns should be kept clean, well

The barnyard should be kept clean
and properly drained.
Utensils should be thoroughly
washed and scalded or steamed and
kept in clean room.
Cows should be fed good wholesome
food and pure water.
Mixers and attendants who come
in contact with the milk should be
healthy and clean.
Cows should not be fed at milking
time or Immediately before. Dust from
feed falls into the milk and contain
mates it with germs.
Wipe the udder and side of cow
with a damp cloth and milk with
clean, dry hand.
Use small-topped milking pail. This
helps to keep foreign matter from the
milk.
Remove the milk Immediately after
milking to separate room from the
barn to be strained and cooled. Cool
milk to as low temperature as pos
sible without freezing. Forty or fifty
degrees T. retards growth of most
germs, and particularly those that
cause milk to sour quickly.

ers are poor. When COW is fed the
former class, she will not require as
many pounds as il she were fed the
latter.
Ten pounds of clover hay, 80 pounds
of corn silage, 10 pounds OF grain
oats and corn equal parts-make a
good ration, both in quantity and kind
for a COW weighing 1000 pounds and
giving 80 pounds of milk daily. This
may be considered an average ration
for an average good dairy COW during
the first six months of her lactation
period, provided she freshens in the
fall. 1t is the kind that is fed on an
average good dairy farm.
With a ration as mentioned above,
the average COW will require one pound
of hay and three pounds of silage for
every one hundred pounds of her
weight. Thus a COW weighing TOO
pounds would require seven pounds
of hay, and II pounds of silage a day,
while one weighing 1,50O pounds-an
unusual weight-would require 10
pounds of hay and 45 pounds of silage.
The amount of grain might remain the
same provided 80 pounds of milk were
given in each case.
With wild timothy hay or bad clover
hay and bundle Of corn fodder in
stead of the silage, we have a differ
ent problem. Such hay is Tow in pro-
tein and COW must eat considerably
more Of this to get the required
amount Of milk-making material.
In the case Of fodder corn, there is
usually so or 40 per cent of the stock
left uneaten. This is not the case with
silagc, so large quantity Of the form
er would have to be given. Where
there is no clover or alfalfa more grain
should be fed and to produce a we'll
balanced ration oil cake or cottonseed
meal must also be given.

ONE BREED OF HENS
is BEST FARM PLAN
Farmer Can Command Prices for
Eggs and Poultry Of Uni
form Size and Color.

A mistake made by many farmers is
that of keeping more than one breed
of poultry. Farmers, of course, can
keep several breeds without danger of
them mixing, but this can only be done
by the building of extra houses and
yards. When more than one breed is
kept, part of the hens must be denied
free range, and the feed cost for the
pepned hens will be greatly increased.
There are other reasons why the
farmer should keep but one breed of
poultry. He can market q uniform
product in eggs and market poultry.
The world is ruled largely by ap-
pearances, and the city dealer will
think that a coop of broilers which
runs uniform in size and color is worth
q little more than lot of chickens of
all sizes and colors. And the same is
true of eggs. A case containing eggs
of all sizes and colOrs will usually COM
mand lower price than one contain
ing eggs that are uniform in size and
color.

ing dimes the brigands' way.
Some even got sore and wrote him
sarcastic letters that they could tip if
they pleased and intimated that it was
none of his business, so there you are.
Even walters themselves have the
tipping habit. At recent dinner a
hundred extra walters were required
and room was given over where they
could check their hats and coats.
Every one of these walters gave a
tip. despite the notice that it was not
required. In London there is hotel

but Americans want to tip and they'll

VALUE OF SUDAN GRASS AS FORAGE CROP

cutting in this region is not apt to
exceed that of German millet, but If
handled properly, two cuttings can be
obtained in many cases and the quality
of the hay is much superior to that OF

to "a pounds of good, clean seed per
acre is necessary.
Grown With Legumes.
The suitability of Sudan grass for
growing in mixtures with cowpeas,

Sudan grass grows strictly erect, with
q stem stiff enough to support the
legumes, making the harvesting
easier and the curing quicker. The

United States Department of Agri-
culture Farmers Bulletin No. 6O5,
gives a full account of this new nay
grass which will be of practical value
to many of the farmers in various parts
of the country.
The bulletin says: "Under cultiva-
tlon in the United States, Sudan grass
has shown itself to be distinctly an.
annual. This grass is very closely
related to the cultivated sorghums and
hybridizes with them readily. Sudan
grass, when seeded broadcast or IN
drills, averages about three to hve
feet in height, and has stems little
smaller than lead pencil, being about
three -sixteenths Of an inch in diameter.
If grown in rows and cultivated, IT
reaches a height Of six to nine feet,
and the stems are larger than usual.
being about one-fourth of an inch in
diameter. The panicle is loose and
open, very much like that of johnson
grass, but little larger and trlf1e
more compact. The hulls, or glumes,
are awned, and when in flower often
purplish in color. This color usually
fades to light yellow when ripe. The
awns are broken off in threshing, so
that the commercial seed rarely has
awns. The leaves are broader and
more numerous than those of johnson
grass, giving the grass much more
favorable appearance as a hay plant.
When given plenty Of room the grass
stools very freely. 1t is not uncom-
mon to find over 100 stems arising
from one crown. This decided ten
dency to stool is most apparent after
the first cutting, and this character
istic makes the hay from the second
cutting usually of finer texture than
from the first.
Likes Warm Climate.
Sudan, grass, like other sorghums,
does best in a warm climate. In fa-
yorable seasons, where the growing
period is long, as many as four cut
tings can be obtained in one year. 1t
is admirably suited for use as a soil
ing crop. Sudan grass is not at all
exacting in it's soil requirements. 1t
does best on a rich loan, but it has
been grown successfully on almost
every class of soil from a heavy clay
to a light sand. To do well, the
ground must be well drained and in
good condition.
Sudan grass is recommended only
as q substitute for millet in it's uses
as a catch crop or for growing in
situations where neither timothy nor
alfalfa succeed well. It is said to be
well suited to most middle and At
lantic states. The yield from one

Uric Acid!

Ever since the discovery OF Scheele IN
1775 that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it,; also
many distressing symptoms as mead
ache, pain in back, stomach Distress
swollen feet and ankles, gout, etc.
It was DR.. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered new agent
called Anuric, a harmless remedy
that if taken before meals will carry OF
the uric acid from the system and IN
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
Joints and all the distressing symptoms
Of rheumatism and other maladies dis
appear. You can easily prove this your
self, by obtaining Anurlc at almoSs s@s any NY
drug store, or send DR.. Pierce loc. Tor
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.
