mans charges, if saved, will consti-
tute a good profit for the feeder. This
is especially true of roughages. Such
feeds are bulky and in most cases must
be baled at a considerable cost; the
freight rates also are much greater in
proportion to the nutrients contained
than Oh the grains.
When land is high in price and the
markets for dairy produc' are good, it
is often impracticable to gre all the
feeds on the farm. In such cases ar
rangements first should be made to
grow the roughage, on account Of the
high cost of transporting these feeds.
In most cases the prime object of the
farm under such conditions will be to
supply the greatest possible quantity
of roughage.
1t is difficult problem to provide
system of winter feeding of roughage
which will make the best use of home
grown roughage and at the same time
insure full production.
In addition to containing the proper
nutrients in the right proportion, part
of the ration should be of succulent
nature. 1T is extremely difficult, if not
impossible, to keep cows in full produc-
ton throughout the winter without
some sueculent feed. There are two
chief sources of succulent feed for
winter feeding-silage and roots. OF
these, silage is in almost universal use
nv commercial dairymen While al
most any green crop may be
used for silage, the heavy yields
of corn, as compared with other
crops, and its comparative ease Of
handling, together with its keeping
| qualities, make it the leading silagc
crcp Where the cost of land and the
prices of dairy products are high, and
the sygtem OF farming of necessity is
intensive, it is questionable whether
the dairyman should consider any 9th
er silage crop.

Ways to Make and Use Tea

in any case.
While to your real tea drinker tea is
tea and no complication of the flavor is
desired, many like to vary the customary
lemon of the Russian tea with tiny
wedge-shaped pieces Of orange or grape
fruit, stuck with cloves, cubes of dried
pineapple busted with cinnamon, or Il
dried mint leaf and creme de menthe
cherry with the slice of lemon.
The simple, old-fashioned way of
bringing fresh drawn water to a quick
boil and pouring it over the leaves Zone
level teaspoonful to the cup and one for
the pot) in a heated pot, which is then
covered with "cosey" and left to steep
for three to five minutes, is all right if
one pours off the tea at once. But if
left standing on the leaves the second
cup will contain too much tannin for
either the palate's pleasure or the stom-
ach's safety.
Herein lies the advantage Of the spe-
cial devices for making tea shown in the
illustration. The London Tea Bob saves
the teamakcr all responsibility and
trouble by bobbng up automatically
when the tea has stepped for five min
utes. This is no magic, but is brought
about by q "timc cup" in the top of the
teapot, into which the boiling water is
poured. The cup rests in a deeper per-
forated receptacle in which the tea is
held. About the top Of the time cup arc
large perforations through which the
water passes downward through the tea.

Kinds of Tea and Who
Drinks Them

The greatest amount Of tea consumed
outside of the Oriental countries is
drunk in Australia, where If IS esti-

pounds year for each person. Eng
land follows with seven pounds a Der
son, and Russia comes next, with two
and half pounds. The consumptiou ii
America is only about seven-eighth~ Of
a pound for each person. Tiie low
amount is attributed partly to the fact
that millions of people of foreign birth
in the United States have not only never
tasted tea but have never even heard
of it.
AS to the various kinds of teas, they
are as numerous as the kinds of wine
or brands of tobacco, and their choice
is merely matter of individual taste.
Three countries grow tea for the export

of course, includes the island of Ceylon.

Even Doctors Seem to
Agree on Tea Drinking

Physicians agree-that is to say, those
whom I have consulted on the subject
agree-that tea, if properly made, is one
of the most harmless of beverages.
There has always been popular idea
afioat that tea tends to make one ner-
vous, as it contains caffein (theine), as
does coffee; but physicians point to the
Oriental races and to the English people,
all of whom are far less nervous than
Americans, to dsprove this theory. The
tannin in tea is, as we all know, the
Objectionable ingredient from the stom-
achs point Of view, but it is reduced to
a minimum if the tea is properly brewed.
The boiling water should be poured over
the tea leaves and allowed to stand three
to five minutes at the most before it is
drunk
Tea stimulates the respiratory organs
and through these quickly reacts on the
entire system. In point of fact the

bail is easily lifted by the knob and held

it in the cover of the teapot.
Too much stress cannot be laid on the
Importance of making iced tea just as
carefully as though it were to be served
hot. It should be strained after the con-
stitutional four minutes of sleeping,
cooled, and placed in the ice chest until
ready for serving, unless perchance it is
made fresh and poured hot over the ice
cubes in the glasses, the best way of all,
but one that may be prohibited by the
threatened ice shortage. If a quantity of
iced tea is to be made, sliced lemon
added when the tea is hot and allowed
to stand until served will give zest
that two or three lemons will not impart
