w hSSP a'a ~ si' SSihuS hio-
chine for small job. it is a mis-
take to keep more cows than we
can feed to advantage. SOC to
70To of the feed a COW can han
die is used in maintaining the
body such as heat, locomotion,
digestion and repairing tissues.
When fed only 500 of what she
is able to digest and assimilate,
there is little left for production.
In other words it takes a certain
amount to keep the machine go-
ing before we get any profit.
Hence a fewer number of ami
mails fed to their capacity will
make more profit to the owner
than a large number fed two
thirds of what they can handle.
Most Of our farm feeds con-
sists of coarse roughage material
such as hay. straw; corn fodder,
roots, silage, etc. One or two of
these feeds will not make a ra-
tion suitable to the animals
needs. Each days ration should
have in it materials from three
or more plants. While the bulk
Of the ration must consist of
these roughage feeds. and since
grain values are so much higher
than in years past, we must not
use very much grain in the ra-
ton and what we do use should
all be produced on the farm with
the exception of a little oil meal.
For 1000 pound COW producing
an average of "a pounds Of 4To
milk per day, the following will
illustrate the kinds and amounts
of feed required to exactly meet
her needs. You will notice also
that with the exception Of a lit
tie oil meal it is all home grown.
We must get away from this feed
buying proposition. 1t is eating
into our profits.
Clover and timothy hay 20 lbs.
Rutabagas or silage -. 80 lbs.
Ground oats ............1A lbs.
Ground barley II lbs.
Oil meal ................ l lbs.
With proper planning any Pine
County farmer can have on hand
next fall enough Of the above
materials or their equivalent. to
feed his stock in the above pro-
portion for 2l0 days. The num-
Der Of cows he should keep next
winter Is limited by the amounts
of the above feeds he can have
on hand next fall. If he can
raise enough to supply seven
cows for 21O days in the above
proportion and in addition to
what he needs for his horses,
hogs. hens and seed. it would be
a mistake for him to keep eight
cows or any larger number. II
what he can raise will supply
proportions, from the profit
standpoint he would be
unwise to keep four or Ave. II
Is not the number Of cows in the
pasture or in the barn that
shows what 4 farmer is doing,
but it is the profit he makes on
his investment, labor and feed.
On many farms good tame hay
is not available in sufficient am
cunt and wild hay If it Is good
quality, cut early and put up in
good shape may be substituted If
more roots or silage are added
to make up the difference. Tha
above combination is made from
five or six plants, hence it has
variety. It contains a succulent
feed like roots or silage which
adds to the efficiency and palar
liability Of the ration. II con-

THE OPEN COLUMN
To Register WasherMOmen.

Editor the Missourian: Not LONG
ago a student whose wasEerwoman
had not shown up for two weeks ac-
costed a strange negro woman on the
street and asked her to do some
washing for him. She was a clean,
neat looking woman, and seemed very
promising. She seemed glad to get
the work, and said that she would
bring the clothes in a few days. But
that was the last the student ever
saw OF the washerwoman or of the
clothes.
Cities that have realized, or antici-
pated the trouble that people have
with unidentified help like this have
passed laws compelling every washer
woman to register. giving her name
and address. If a woman takes wash

cuted.

USE SMOKED GLASSES JUNE 8
Warming Issued Against Viewing
Eclipse With Naked Eve.

DR.. j. B. McCubbin of Fulton, mem
Der of the Committee for the Preven-
ton of Blindness, Missouri State Med
ical Association, has asked the Even
ing Missourian to warn persons
against looking at the sun without
some protection for their eyes during
the eclipse of June 8.
I'VE have taken this opportunity to
warn all people against looking at the
sun excepting through smoked glass
or developed Photographic film, and
this applies when only a small rim of
the sun is visible" he writes.
He says that in Europe in 1912 when
an eclipse of the sun occurred, $500
cases Of eclipse blindness were re-
ported. Most of the cases resulted
from viewing the sun after it had be-
gun to emerge from its eclipse.
According to Professor r. H. Baker
of the astronomy department of the
University, it is advisable that people
should not look at the sun without
smoked or colored glasses. He SAYS
that he has found no report of blind
ness caused by the 1912 eclipse in
Europe in any astronomical publi-
cation. 1t is probable, he says,
that the people continued to look
after the total phase was over, and the
strong light affected their eyesight.

MORE COOPERATION

Farmer and banker used to habitate
opposite poles, social, political and
financial. But the last few years have
wrought havoc with their relative po-
sitions. Now they sit next to each
other and pull together. Cooperation
is the bond between them. Farmer
and finance are synonymous terms &C
cording to the Missouri Bankers As
sociation.
The banker has found that consider
alton of the farmer is splendid in
vestment and the farmer has found
this personal interest in him result
ing in bettering of his financial con-
dition because it has increased his
earning power by the bankers helpful
suggestions. Banker has loaned farm
er money, and does his best to further
the good road movement.
But more golden days are coming
for the man of money and the man of
the soil. Farms are expected to yield
greater incomes than ever before and
the banker expects to profit by the
farmers prosperity. The association
made plans for a greater efficiency
program for this year. The most i'm
portant goal is the solution of the |
transportation problem by the estab-
lishment of system of overland |
trucks to facilitate movement of the
farm produce to town and vice versa,
lack Of which has caused loss to all
concerned, including the banker. To
promote these lines the banks have
done great work in helping to get
hard-surfaced roads over the state.
Long live Cooperation and its off
spring, Efficiency!

WOMAN, VI. p.

The effort of Miss Nina Boyle to get
nominated as a candidate for Parlia-
ment at Keighley in Yorkshire, where
an election is pending, has given rise
to much speculation as to just when
women will sit in the British legis-
lative body. At present it is not even
clear whether woman may legally be
an NJ. P, for although 100000 women
in England now possess the franchise,
the act Of Parliament that gave 1t TO
them does not say whether the rights
of the new voters are identical with
the mems.
Miss Boyle is one of the famous
militant suffragettes of England. She
has had hand in many Of the most
spectacular struggle of the women who
fought and starved for the vote. She
it was who anchored her steam launch
to the historic terrace of the House
of Commons and gave that body a
piece of her mind"
From that it may be seen she is not
without initiative and resourcefulness
However, according. to political au-
thorities, it is believed that her chance
of success in her latest venture is
doubtful Yorkshire is conservative,
and the women who will vote have
certain prejudices for men in Parlia-
ment. Then, if by a miracle she
were returned" it would rest with
the courts to decide if she were eligi-
BILE
The greatest point she has in
her favor would seem to lie In her
making an example of herself to test
just how much England gave tc The
women when it gave them the right
to vote. Surely the vote without the
symbol of power, representation, were
a poor gift.

A DREAM OF THE MAID

A DREAM OF THE MAID
By Miss Miriam Thurman of Wichita, Kansas
/ (The W. S. Dickey 500 Prize Poem for 1s1s)
LAST night as knelt slept, and dreamed
saw you lying dead
The chill rain fell on your face, it seemed,
And made pool by your head
woke forlorn in the early
Wet with the tears l had she'd"
Dear wife, fell by stunted oak
When the first CLINT of morning showed
Where the meadow frogs in the marshes croak
With the harsh-voiced, rough tree-toad
Near pool made brown with leaves dropped down
And over my body strowed."
oh, where did you ride, last night, last night
- When the wind sobbed down the glade
The swirlng mist hung thick and white
And crossed myself and prayed?"
The wind blew shrll and bitter chill
And fought by the side of the Maid"
But the time is long since gone alacki
Since the holy Maiden died"
But yeSternght the Maid came back
And with her, France did ride
Her sword she drew and the whole night through
fought with host by her side"
Her sword is broken and worn with rust"
NAY it CLEANED like flame in her hand"
And her arms are moudy and buried in dust"
"Ful-armed | saw her stand
A radiance beamed from her helm and streamed
Like blazing, bood-red brand
Three lilies were worked in her broidered vest
On her baldrc and shield were three,
And red gold cross she wore on her breast
And mantle fell down to her knee
Her standard was white and he words shone bright
In gold thread JESU-Marie.
Throughout the night the sllrapne shell
Rained down every hand
And burst and hared like glimpse of He'll
Through the dark of No Mans Land
In narrow path like mowers swath
Silent she led our band
In the cross and our good steel Our trust
Where the mist wraithS reel and dance
We turned and cut and wheeled and thrust
With never a backward glance:
The radiant Jeanne CRIED 'JESU! ON
WE RIDE TONIGHT FOR FRANCEp
"On, on we sped through the heaving black
For no water sand dune stayed.
Like the swift night wind and the flying wrack
In the face of the cannonade
Fast, fast we flew the whole night through
And fell at dawn by the Maid
The ravens in the windy skies
The backbird tilts in the tree
| stare at the clouds with dm dead eyes,
And the soft rain falls on me
In the forest glade but l rode with the Maid
And France, ah France is free!'

This fact was developed at an inquest
held by coroner Charles D. Wheeler
and an Investigation conducted by
sheriff Wiuzy.
Maricopa Indians, when questioned,
said that the skeletons were those Of
PapaEo Indians who had at one time
or another. prior TO ten years ago,
come from the Papago country. in the
southern part of Arizona and north
ern Mexico. to work and had died on
the reservation. The MaricOpas. they
said. had put the bodies in these
caves.
The Maricopas, who have a super
stitious fear Of the dead would not
go near the caves They offered no
explanation Of the fact that some Of
the skeletons were those Of children
All the skeletons that were intact
been nearly new at the time of the
placing Of the bodies in the caves. A
pair Of shoes on one skeleton had
evidently never been worn. The
clothing bore marks Of Chicago and
