pools, such as anticlines, synclines,
salt domes and monoclines and often
there can be accurate forecasts Of
drilling results. H..
There are $4,000 oil producers in
the United States, and in view of
the keen competition for land and
the increasoing cost Of drilling, care
full selection of oil-land holdings is
important. The gealogst, therefore,
cannot safely be ignored. In Okla
homa geological investigations are
credited with bringing in many new
pools, and the proportion of dry
holes on territory recommended by
geologists is less than one-third as
great as before the scientists took
hand in the game.
Few persons realize what unceas-
ing effort is necessary to secure a
sufficient supply of crude oil in this
country. New pools are quickly COW
cred with wells and in time all the
oil is pumped out. The ,deacrease of
oil7well production and the increase
in the demand by tens of millions of
barrels yearly compel producers to
expend large sums in prospecting
new territory. For this reason "wild-
limits of producing pools. This is
cat wells" are drilled outside the
limits of producing pools. This is
good deal of a gamble, but the risks
are lessened to the extent of the geo.
logical knowledge possessed Of the
regions in qustion. The largest part
of all the known oil fields is either
being operated by companies, or has
been withdrawn by the Government,
or is in the hands Of spectators. Less
than two-tenths of one percent. of
the oil area n Pennsylvania is produc-
tive. More than half Of Yyoming's

the various cereals, and cottonseed
hulls may all be cassed as low ir
protein content, while legume hays
such as alfalfa, the clovers, cow.
peas, soy beans, and oat and pea, are
classed as roughage high in protein
Grain and concentrated feeds are the
chief sources of protein, and the
mixture should be made to fit the
class in which the roughage belongs.
Compromising a Grain Mixture
A few simple rules for making up
gran mixture are given briefly be-
low:
l. Make up the MIXTURE to fit the
roughage available. With roughage
entirely of the low-protein class the
grain should contain approximately
from 18 to % per cent Of protein,
while with exclusively high protein
roughage the grain ration need con-
tain only about 13 to 16 per cent.
2. Select grains that will furnish
the various constituents, especially
protein, at the least cost, using home
grown grains if possible.
3. Be sure that the mixture is
light and bulky.
4. The mixture should be palat-
able.
5. See that the grain has the prop
er physiological effect upon the cow.
The family COW should be provid-
ed with a dry, well-lighted stall
which should be cleaned daily. Every
two or three weeks it is a good prac-
tice to scatter Stacked lime about the
floor of the stall, which will aid in
keeping the place dry and prevent
the growth of harmful germs. The
stall should be kept we'll bedded with
straw, saw dust or other such mater
ial that will absorb the moisture and
make the cow comfortable. The cows
comfort should always be kept fore
most in the mind of the owner as it
is an aid to increased milk yields.

THE GEOLOGIsT FINDS THE OIL

THE GEOLOVIlSI FINDS lHE OlL
Printed by request of the commit
tee of four.
In the early days Of the oil indus
try search for new oil-fields was car
ried on in haphazard way. Few or
none knew exactly where to look for
petroleum pools and it was usually
only by persistent drilling of wells
and "fool's luck" that procpectors
made their strikes. Vastly more fall
ures than successes resulted from this
unmethodical procedure, and fortunes
were sunk in testing hopelessly dry
or only slightly productive territory.
In course Of time, however, SCIENTIFIC
ideas crept into the plans of the oil
seekers and the geologist was called
upon as counselor and guide. Now
adays the judgment and advice Of the
man of science are indispensable pre-
requisites to the exploitation Of any
supposed oil region. In consequence,
the pursuit of oil, through still at
tended with risk and uncertainty,
has been made far less a matter OF
guesswork and chance and loss. The
geologist cannot see all that the
earth hides in it's bosom, but from
certain indications he can determine
whether underlying strata on any
given tract may be probed with pos
sibilities of an oil field.
There are two branches to the oil
biologists work-surface and sub
surface. The surface geologist studies
studies out groupings of rocks to find
/ beds of carbonaceous shales or lime
| stones, which may be a source of OIL.
He examines the outcrops to dis
cover sandstones or fractured lime
stones capped by impervious beds,
forming reservoirs for oil and gas.
He also seeks for indications that the
oil has been localized nto pools. The
subsurface geologist maps out the
oil sands and suggests suitable places
in which to drill wells.
Oil-bearing formations manifest
themselves by surface indications,
such as gas springs, oil or asphalt
seepages. Sometimes surface obser-
vations enable the geologist to pre-
dict formations to a depth of three
miles or more. Certain type struc-
lures favor accumulation of oil in

not expensive. What other animal
can so we'll utilize the grass plots
around the house and barn through
out the summer? In the winter it
will be necessary to give her some
commercial feed, but the cost on any
farm will not be great. Even with
this the cow is profitable, for she
produces milk that furnishes plenty
of bone and muscle-building mater
ial for the young people, and gives
strength to the older members of the
family. Dairy dishes in any form
add variety to the meal. Milk can
take the place of many purchased
foods also at great saving in cash
and health. Maybe there should be
more, but surely one cow to the farm.

PARISHES CAUSE GREAT
LOSSES

There are thousands of species of
parasites belonging to the animal
kingdom already known to man, and
new ones are continually being dis
covered. Some of them appear to be
quite harmless; others are most in
furious, and some produce conditions
for which no cures have been discov-
cred. The loss to the livestock in
dustry in the United States from ami
NAL parasites amounts to hundreds
of millions Of dollars every year, and
in addition to this damage certain C.:
these parasites can be transmitted
to man, either in meat or in other
ways. 1t was for the purpose of in
vestigating such parasitic organisms
with the view of developing methods
OF prevention, control and treatment
that the Geological Division of the
Bureau of Animal Industry was es-
tablished. The division now possess
es one of the largest collections Of
specimens Of parasites in the world,
which is most useful in identifying
specimens sent in by farmers, vet
erinarians, and others.

square miles. The noted Tepetate.
Casiano pool in Mexico, which has
produced 75,000,000 barrels Of oil
in eight years, is only one mile wide
and four long. Much poneer work
must be done to insure future sup
plies of oil, and the experienced geo.
logist must be depended on to make
additional discoveries Of highly pro-
ductive petroleum fields

HELPING THE MILK
AND MEAT SUPPLY
ONE GOOD ANIMAL WILL KEEP
THE AVERAGE FAMILY WE'LL
SUPPLIED

One good dairy cow properly fed
will supply all the milk that is need
ed by the average family. A cow
producig on the average of two gal
Ions of milk each day will supply a
family of five with one gallon of
whole milk, which is about three
glasses for each person, and there
will be enough milk left to make one
half pound of butter dairly-suffi-
cient for the family. Such fam
lily COW will also furnish approx
mately three-quarters or pound of
cottage cheese, ,whic h is a most pal
atable meat substitute when it is
properly made. AS meat and
muscle builder it is fully equal in the
human diet to meat, pound for
pound. Then there will be about
three quarts Of buttermilk and whey
which can be used for bread max
ing.
The feeding of dairy cow should
he governed by the cows capacity to
produce milk. Owners of dairy
herds, who have kept daily record
of each cows production, have ofund
that some cows respond to an in
creased allowance of feed and return
a good profit on it, while others are
limited in milk capacity and over
feeding them Improbable. Profit
able feeding requires a knowledge
of the cow as we'll as of the values
of feeds.
A permanent pasture of from one
to two acres of the best grass avail
able should be provided for the fam
lily cow if possible. Some shade and
fresh, clean water are always de-
sirable in the pasture. For winter
feeding the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture gives the following gener-
al rules:
l. Under most circumstances the
COW should be fed all the roughage
that she will eat up clean, adjusting
the grain ration to hte milk produc-
ton. Only when the cow tends to
become over-fat should the guam
tity of roughage be restricted.
2. A grain mixture should be fed
in the proportion of 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 lbs.
or more, when the ration can be l
pound to each 1-2 or 4 pounds of
milk. An even better rule is l 10.
of grain each day for every pound
of butter fat produced by the cow
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.
Feed Balanced RatiOns
For the most profitable milk pro-
duction the cow must be fed bal
anced ration at the cheapest price
such rations can be provided. By
balanced ration is meant the COM
bination of such a proportion OF
nutrients and in such quantities as
the cow requires to maintain her
bodily functions and as she can
b. Utilize in the production of milk.
These nutrients are classified as
proteinS carbohydrates, and fats.
Protein is one of the principal con-
stituets of milk; fats and carbohy-
drates perform much the same func-
tions, that is, produce energy and
heat, and in the balancing Of ra-
ton are usually classed together. If
the cow is given a ration containing
an excess Of either element, the ex-
cess is liable to be wasted; hence
the economical Importance of bal
anced ration.

DAT STRAW FOR BEEF CATTLE

In an experiment conducted at the
Indiana experiment station to test
the feeding value of oat straw it was
found that a ration of corn silage,
corn, and cottonseed meal was just
as valuable for economy and extent
of grains when used with oat straw
as when fed with clover hay. AS a
ration is extensively used in var
ious parts of the United States its
practical value can readily be seen.
Straw and stover are especially val
liable for the wintering Of breeding
herds Of beef cattle, and should form
large part of their feed.

A COW FOR EVERY FARM

Every farm should have at least
one dairy COW. More may be kept if
it is desirable or profitable, but there
should be at least one cow. The farm
family richly deserves the best of

omy it should have inexpensive food.

My City Of Dreams.

Theye calls somewhere this infinite sphere
wonderful city of Dreams
With glory undmned by the weakness of man
And rejecting the suns rosy CLEANS
1t flares not as cities common view
Nor crowded with highways of mart
This city OF dreams is fanciful thing
The image was born in my heart
lis the voice OF clarion, this call to my soul,
And the fancied image excites
Mad desires to be free from the common cay-things
And the sordid conventions and rites.
In my fancy bell seems tnke afar
And the spires of cathedrals on high
Seem to mock at my impotence while Turing me on .
With promise of rest by and by.
There's fascination in seeking this vale
This marvellous mirage of my soul "
A3yhaps will hnd it mountain or dell
Or beyond. where the surged pillows roll
But searching for heart things forgetting the world
And IN stepping aye, upward the while
There's calm. magic spirit which ceanses nv soul
And removes all vexation and guile. ~
And. nsyhaps day, shall visit that realm
Where lies nay city of dreams
Made holy by faith, and with untainted feet ~
/ may bask in its radiant beams
There's faint CLEAN of morning in Far Eastern skies
Rstokening another day,
But OUT yonder no night and no sorrow shall harm.
