Dairy farmers well posted on all
of these points from actual ex-
perience include the following,
and the order given represent
their relative Importance:
|. Warm construction.
?. Ventilation.
8. Watering facilities.
4. Sanitary equipment.
A discussion of each of these
points will be printed as time
and space permits.
The subject of ventilation is
one of vital Importance to the
health of the herd and conse-
quently to the profits therefrom.
A good ration for a dairy COW
consists of all Of the oxygen in
two pounds of air for every one
pound of feed consumed. You
may utilize the highest grade of
gasoline in your automobile or
in your gas engine, yet without
the carburetor to mix the air
with the fuel you would get no
combustion. 1t would not burn.
Hence feeding expensive feeds
to cattle without providing a
supply of fresh air and oxygen
is similar to the automobile with
out carburetor. Some barns
are so warmly constructed as to
meet every requirement, yet
there is no facility for proper
renewal of the air supply. Other
barns are SO loosely constructed
that they do not meet comfort
requirements for warmth, how
ever, they are we'll ventilated.
| believe that we all should pay
a little more attention to the
right combination of the first
two points named above.

THE EASY MARK

Said the scrubbred cow to the high-bred cow,
Say your are an easy mark, VOW.
You can eat no more than a scrub like me,
You're treated no better that | can see
Yet you give that farmer three times as much
In payment for board and room and such;
Three times the milk-and it is better too
I'd hate to be such fool as you
Said the hghbred COW to the scrub-bred cow,
I'D like to shirk, but | don't know how;
I'm not intending to pay so WELL
And why do it cannot tell
| reckon it isn't for me to say,
guess was simply BORN that way!
No matter how hard to stop try,
| keep on boosting the ilk-supply."
Said the scrub-bred cow to the high-bred COW,
You're up against it, I'll allow;
You're padding the farmers increment,
While I'm not making the dun cent.
| know this much, if were he
I'd Danish all scrawny cows like me
Who eat as much as their betters can
And bunco their board from the farmer-man
But I'm not the farmer and so I'm here,
Eating my head off year by year.
And I'll do it as long as | cam | vow
Said the scrub-bred COW to the high-bred COW!

The war departments plans
for registering all men in the
country who have attained the
age Of q years since June 5,
1917. and for basing draft quotas
on the number of men in Class /,
has been sustained by Congress.
Credit on quotas will be for all
voluntary enlistments in the
military or naval service since
April l, 1917. This plan will
place practically 100000 addi-
tional men in Class /, and will
make it necessary for all young
men who have reached their ma
jority since last June to enlist
at once, if they wish to select
the branch of service in which
they desire to serve and avoid
the draft.
Fully 50 per cent of the en-
listments in the Minnesota Re-
cruiting District according to
Major John d. Yost. Recruiting
Officer, during the past two
months have been men under the
draft age. A further appeal,
however. is made to young men
by the Recruiting Officer. also
to the high school boys who viii
soon be out of school. to get into
the service at once. Practically
every branch of the service is
open to enlistment at the pres
ent time and wonderful oppor-
tunities will be presented the
men who get in early for rapid
advancement.
The Cavalry which is a most
popular branch of the service.
was closed to enlistment for
some time. but this has been re-
opened and should prove an
added incentive to many young
men to enlist.
The month of April bids fair
to establish a new recruiting re-
cord in Minnesota. Up to and
including April IL over AGO men
had enlisted in the district. If
the present rate continues it will
bring the total number of en-
listments for the month to we'll
over 1000. The new draft act is ex-
pected to stimulate recruiting
and bring thousands of volun-
teers into the Army.

Scarcity of Houses

In strong contrast to the stu
alton Of few months ago. when
dwelling houses were plentiful, is
the scarcity of houses at the pres

they were numerous, while now
an incoming family looking for a
place to live has trouble in finding
quarters. This is accounted for in
part by the schooling advantages
to be found here, but largely by
the influx of railroad men and
their families within the last few
months.
