UNITED WAR WORK
CAMPAIGN CONTINUES

We hope. We intend. Nay, we
MUST make Emmons county's quota
of approximately $4,000, even if we
extend our work throughout the en-
tire winter; even if we must make a
house to house canvass in every town,
city. and throughout the rural dis
itricts; even to the farthest and most
'remote corners.
Don't tell me you are giving to
your church, This UNITED Work"
includes your church, regardless of
sect or creed or nationality; it in
cludes YOU, and are YOU, and the
rest of US going to sit idly by and
see our country go by default ?
No! ! know we do not intend that
kind of record. I know that we
have pride in the community in
which we live. I know, too, that we
are not so mean and so selfish and
SO uunkind, but rather, when we un-
derstand, we are kind and generous
and rejoice in the spirit of GIVING.
To you who do not understand,
say, pass the good word along. To
those in your midst, and with whom
you come in contact, who, because Of
lack of education or inclination or en-
vironment or a plain, ship-shod in
difference, help to teach them their
duty.
To all you who have failed to con-
tribute, either through negligent,
or absence from home when one of
the solicitors called, kindly remit to
me, and I shall gladly mail receipt.
Yours sincerely,

Co. Director U. w. W. C.

On account of the Flu Epidemic
and irregular opening of schools, it
has been impossible for the county
agent to keep track of the Boys and
Girls Garden Clubs. Exhibits
should have been given during Octo-
Der, but it's better late than never.
so kindly request teachers to inves-
tigate and if possible arrange for an
exhibit, however small, on some Fri

Pages may be written about feed
ing Of dairy cattle. This is unnec-
essary, however, to the interested
dairyman, for he will adjust his feed
ing to produce the maximum milk
without any rules. To the inexpsr-
fenced few simple guides for feed
ing may be summarized as follows:
/. Under most circumstances the
COW should be fed all the roughage
she will eat up clean, and the grain
ration should be adjusted to the milk
production.
2. A grain mixture should be fed
in the proportion of i pound to each
3 pints or pounds of milk produced
daily by the COW, except in the case
of a COW producing a flow of 40
pounds or more, when the ration may
be 1 pound to each 3h or pounds
Of milk. An even better rule is /
pound Of grain each day for every
pound of butter fat that the COW pro-
duces during the week.
3. Feed all the cow will respond
to in milk production. When she
begins to put on flesh, cut down the
grain. OF course fresh water, not
ice cold, at least twice a day, and a
comfortable stable or barn is nee.
essary.
