IT PAYS TO SELL YOUR
POORER DAIRY STOCK
tBy G. r. Greaves, North Dakota Agri-
cultural College,

(By G. r. Greaves, North Dakota Agri-
cultural College,
A dairyman with 80 cows recently
sold five Of the least productive and
added their feed to that of the other
Is. His profits were increased to such
an extent that he repeated the process
a second time. He found these 10
cows, while they had consumed their
share Of the feed, had returned much
less than their share Of the milk.
This was great lesson in economy.
He did not realize at first that the
cow is q machine, she takes the raw
feed, bran, shorts, hay and oilmeal and
turns It into milk or beef, and that the
cow which produces the maximum I'm
ished produce from a given amount Of
raw material, Is the most economical
animal in the, herd.
AL animals do not require the same
amount Of feed. What is an abund-
ance for one may not be enough for
another. Each animal must be studied
Mutually and treated accordingly.

lieutenants and 100 lesser political
lights Of the state were indicted by a

charges Of election frauds, corruption,
conspiracy and misuse of the mails.
Two blanket indictments were re-
turned dealing with the primary and
election campaigns Of 1913 in which
Henry Ford was Senator Newberry's
chief opponent.
Indictments charged that both fed
eral and state laws were violated in
that sums far in excess of legitimate
expenses were used in the campaigns.
Judge Sessions indicated that the
evidence before the grand Jury dis
closed the fraudulent expenditure of
between 100000 and $1,OOO,OOO in
connection with the election.

The roots 81 a; tree extend out con-
siderable distances from the trunk and
the feeder roots are on the small root
lets. This means then that the tree
feeds more at some little distance from
the trunk than 1t does right up close,
as the large roots serve for carrying
the moisture and food and not for
taking it up from the soil. When one
thinks Of the size of tree and its leaf
surface, one will begin to realize that
the tree must draw its moisture from
q considerable area Of ground. One
must also remember that the tree roots
are lower down than the roots Of
grasses and weeds SO that in case
there is shortage Of moisture. the
grass and weeds will have the first
chance at the water that comes down

and held him for ransom, has been 70.

government to supply more complete
details Of the charges against jenkins
and permit frsthand Investigation by
an American representative, It vas
learned at the state department.
May Be Sent Uitimatum.
The government. It is understood,
desires to have NJ. E. Hanna Of the
American embassy in Mexico City 20
to Puebla and personally review the
entire matter, making a secret report
to the state department, which would
be checked up with the detailed report
the Mexicans will be asked to furnish.
Meanwhile, it was suggested this
government would advise jenkins to
take advantage of the Mexican offer to
set him free on bail.
II the Mexican report does not agre.
with Hanna's, or II the Mexicans re-
fuse to supply more details, the United
States may send a fiat ultimatum to
Carranza ordering Jenkins release. In
the meantime, however, it was made
clear that no dangerous crisis exists
and that the entire situation is ex-
pected to be settled peacefully.
Declares Demand Unjust.
The Mexican note. which was In re-
ply to a demand by the American
state department, declared the case
was in the hands of the local authori-
ties and that the constitution forbids
the president to interfere in the affairs
Of the various states.
