BOYS DEPARTMENT AT
THE DETROIT CONVENTION

With a keen realization that the
boys of today will be men of tomOr-
row, the fortieth international conyen-
ton of the Y. NJ. c. A., to be held at
Detroit, beginning Nov. 10, will lay
special emphasis on boys work
throughout every phase Of its actly-.
tiles. This information was received
today from headquarters of the In
tnrratioral Committee Of the Y. M.
c. A.. by DR.. Edw. Griffin, who is
head of the boys work division Of the
Flat River Association.
While there are 2,077 associations
throughout the United States, there
are boys work divisions in but 1856
city, county, railroad and colored as
sociations, and boys work of some
sort is being done in about 1,5OO as
sociations and the development of the
field now untouched is one of the big
gest problems to be considered. The
need for such extension is doubly APP
parent as the latest United States
census figures show there are about
100000 boys in the nation. OF
this tremendous number 4,640,000 are
employed boys, ranging in age from
ii to 20 years. Other statistics show
that there are some 100000 boys Of
high school age.
The association membership in
cludes 181, 900 boys whose ages range
from u to IS years, but the work OF
the association extends beyond the
organization itself. The "outside"
work takes the form Of employed
boys brothcrhoods, which number
from 10 to so boys in a group. These
brotherhoods, often made up of boys
in single factory. include non-mem-
bcrs of the association. There are
some 10000 of them in these brother
hoods in the United States.
Among the high school boys work
outside the association is carried on
through clubs known as Oily" clubs.
Incomplete reports from international
committee headquarters show $50 such
clubs in 26 States with a membership
of more than $4,000. Some of these
clubs are formed in rural communi-
ties where there are perhaps not more
than % boys in an entire high school,
An interesting feature of the COM
ing convention will be that some Of
the presidents of these clubs, both
Oily" clubs, will attend as dele
gates, in the case of the former or
ganization, from large industrial cen
tiers. There will also be representa-
tives present from the Mexican Boys
Division of the Ell Paso, Texas, Y. M.
C. A., an oganization which is doing
much in its field to eliminate racial
antpathy on the border.

SELLING LIVE
STOCK COMPARATIVELY

The cooperative livestock shipping
association affords a means whereby
the farmer feeding stock in less than
CARROTS can get just what his stock
brings on the central market, less
shipping expenses, so far as market
ing is concerned, this organization
puts the small feeder or a level with
the man who feeds carload at Il
time.
Caldwell county, through the efforts
of the farm bureau, is now included in
the list of Missouri counties where
stock is marketed comparatively
Meetings were held in Hamilton and
Cowgirl and the plan of cooperative
shipping was explained by the exten-
sion agent in marketing from the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture. The farmers shipping from
these points then organized two as
sociations. Each association employs
a manager working on a commission
to handle the stock of its members.
To make cooperative marketing
more efficient, the College is arrang-
ing for three-day short courses for
Missouri managers, to be held in two
of the principal markets. At these
short courses instruction will be given
in grading stock and in accounting,
The managers will also have oppor-
tunity to discuss their common mar
keting problems.

BEANS ARE SELLING
AT PRE-WAR PRICE

Housekeepers who are trying to
win out in the high cost of living game
this winter should not forget to serve
navy beans. says Miss Essie Heyle of
the University of Missouri College or
Agriculture. Navy. beans are as
cheap now as they were in 1915.
During the war they rose in price as
did other foods and in many cases ex-
ceeded the increase Of other food
stuffs, since in 1917 and 1918 they
cost two and one-half times as much
as they did in pre-war days. Navy
beans now, however, are the one food
that has come down in price until it
is as cheap as it was before the war.
Since beans are good bodybuilding
food they can at one or two meals
each week take the plce of meat. To
thus serve them will save the thrifty
housekeeper money.

WEEKLY NEWS NOTES
BY THE COUNTY AGENT
Bird Pox--A Disease Affecting Many
Chickens in Pennington This Year.

Bird Pox-A Disease Affecting Many
Chickens in Pennington This Year.
Numerous outbreaks of bird pox, or
chicken pox, have been brought to the
County Agent. This disease is a
rather troublesome one and frequently
causes the death of numbers of small
chickens. The symptoms are sores or
eruptions varying from the size of a
pin head to that of a hazel nut and are
seen especially on the beaks, nostrils,
combs, eyelids, and other portions of
the head. The eruptions may appear
all over the birds as well. The disease
is contagious and is carried from one
flock to another by pigeons and Eng
lish sparrows. Treatment consists in
scraping the crusts off the sores and
treating them with tincture of iodine
or per cent solution of carbolic acid
Where the eyes are affected, satu-
rated solution of boric acid is bene-
fetal. AS this disease is contagious,
the house, drinking vessels and feed
troughs should be kept well disinfect-
ed with any of the reliable disinfec-
tants during the outbreak and for
some days after all birds have appar-
emily recovered.

Madison County Holds Livestock,
Poultry and Agricultural Show

The Madison County Agricultural,
Livestock and Poultry Show, held at
Fredericktown last Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, proved to be a great
success. 1t so happened that we had
the pleasure Of judging the corn and
agricultural display, and can readily
say that it was one Of the best county
displays seen in a number of years
and would have compared favorably
with such displays held at our larger
county fairs. A number of samples Of
corn were on display that should by
all means be sent to the State Corn
Show for we feel no hesitancy in say
ing that these samples would bring no
discredit to Madison county should
they be entered in the State Show. In
addition to corn, there were some eX-
cellent exhibits of potatoes, apples,
and canned fruit.
Three communities in the county ha
worked up community displays de-
serving special mention. Village
Creek won first on its community dis
play; German Farm Club, second; and
Union, third. We are glad to say that
two of these communities really bor-
der on St. Francois county. The live
stock show held on Saturday brought
out many entries Of good stock.
The Poultry Show was held under
the auspices of the Madison County
Poultry Association and also had a
large number Of entries, not only from
Modison County, but from adjoining
counties. Mrs. ]. E. Beard, of Farm
ington, had several of her Barred
Rocks on exhibition and won first and
third prizes on her exhibits. The
poultry show and the agricultural dis.
play were held in the fine new store
building just completed, on the west
side of the court house square. This
building was entirely filled with ex.

A BALANCED RATION
FOR DAIRY COWS

Most Missouri dairy cows are not
producing as well as they SHOULD be-
cause their feed is not properly bal
tnced. Protein and energy (carbo-
hydrates and fat) are the main things
to be considered in q balanced ration.
They must be in the right proportion
in order to feed most economically.
Tie ordinary farm roughagcs are
lacking in protein. This protein must
be supplied in the grain, unless the
dairyman has plenty of clover, alfal-
| f., soybean, or cowpea hay and even
then some protein must be supplied
with grain.
Protein therefore is the main con-
sideration in buying grain for dairy
cows. Buy the feed which supplies
the most protein for the least money.
! Cottonseed meal, even at its present
high price, supplies the cheapest pro-
| TEN. Next in order come lnseed oil
meal, gluten feed, dried brewers
grains and wheat bran. These are the
feeds to buy and mix with the home
grown grains.
For 1000-pound cow producing 20
pounds of A per cent milk day, the
following balanced ration will be
found good. 1t will keep up the milk
flow. 1t is also economical. 1t fur
nishes the required food nutrients in
just the right proportions:
80 pounds corn silage, 8 pounds clo-
yer hay, 2 pounds wheat bran, l
pound corn meal, 2 pounds cottonseed
meal.
Siage and clover or alfalfa hay is
the best and cheapest roughage. 1t
should be the aim of every dairyman
to grow an abundance of these feeds
on his farm. If he does not have
these roughages, but does have sill
age, timothy hay, mixed hay, corn
fodder, or a combination of them, he
must vary his grain mixture to sup
ply more protein. A good grain mix
ture to supplement such roughages
would be corn meal, cottonseed meal or
oil meal, and wheat bran mixed n
equal parts by weight. Another mix
ture might be made up of 100 pounds
each of corn meal and ground oats,
and 200 pounds each of cot.onseed
meal and wheat bran.
If the roughage is entirely Of clo-
yer, alfalfa, sOybcan or cowpca hay,
reduce the protein in the grain mix
ture somewhat as follows: 300 pounds
corn meal, 200 pounds ground oats,
100 pounds each of cottonseed meal
and wheat bran. There are other
mixtures easily prepared and the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture or your county agent will he
glad to help you solve your feeding
problems.
In buying cottonseed meal for feed
ing, see that the analysis on the sack
shows SO to Al per cent protein.

Only a Cold

Are you ill? is often answered.
ooh! It's only cold',, as if a cold was
matter Of little consequence. But
people are beginning to learn that a
common cold is a matter not to be
trifed with, that some of the most Sc
rious diseases start with cold. AS
soon as the first indication of cold
appears take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Remember that the sooner
you get rid of your cold the less the
danger, and this remedy will help you
to throw it off. Obtainable every
