RATIons TO PRODUCE MILK
Cow Should Be Fed So That Greatest
Possible Amount Of Feed Goes
to Supply Milk.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Many owners of cows are confront
ed with the problem Of supplying eco
nomical milk producing rations for
their cows. Under these conditions
there is strong temptation to cut
down on the amount given to each
animal. The total quantity of feed
must be sufficient, and If the coneen-
trates are cut down, more and better
roughage must be supplied.
The reduction of feed below a GER
tain amount alawys means a reduction
In the amount of milk the COW pro-
duces. There may be exceptional
cases where the owner is feeding more
than is necessary for the maximum
milk production, but the greatest dan
ger is the other extreme. The cow
requires a certain amount of feed to
maintain her body. The amount she
receives above this maintenance ration
goes either to meat or milk produc-
ton. The COW should be fed so that
the greatest possible amount of feed
goes to actual milk production. A
few simple rules are offered to this
and.
1. Highly specialized cows, which
never carry excessive fat and are per-
sistent mixers, being dry only a
month or so, should receive all they
will consume. With such cows econ
omy in feeding is equivalent to liberal
feeding.
2. With general-purpose cows, or
those which tend to beefiness, the
dairyman must adjust his feed strict
ly to the milk produced, or he will
find his feed going to form fat instead
of milk. Cows of this nature, the
milk from which contains about 5 per

Enemy Learned Valuable Secrets

CENTER ON AMERICANS
Germans Sent Smoothest Secret Ser
vice Men to Camp on Trail Of
Americans as Soon as They
Landed.

Paris.-American newspaper corre-
spondents abroad are now permitted
TO relate some of the troubles the
Americans experienced with the great
German spy system.
No army in the world war had a
harder fight against the smooth-work-
ing, far-reaching Teuton espionage sys-
TEN than did General Pershings war
riors. The Germans concentrated a
large number of spies against the
Americans Immediately after the first
Yankee contingents landed in France
and kept augmenting their numbers.
The American army was made the OBJ
Ject of the spy offensive because the
Germans recognized that, If the war
continued until the summer of 1918
and then Tapped over into 1919 it was
the American army that would figure
largely in allied operations They
wanted to find out what kind of an
army Pershing had what the morale
Of the individual soldiers was, what the
stnffs were planning and what disposi-
tion was being made of American
troops behind the western battle front.
Hard to Keep Secrets.
In spite of all precautions and in
spite of contre-espionage forces, Ger
man agents undoubtedly collected a
large amount of valuable information
behind the American lines to supple
nent other odds and ends they had
picked up from American prisoners,
from the reports of their land and air
observers and from other sources.
Officers tried hard to keep the Boche
from learning that one American unit
had been removed from the line and
supplemented by another. That was
information that the German intelli-
gence officers wanted for their "order
of battle" maps, by which they kept
track of the exact disposition of all
enemy troops in the line and reserve.

Of the biggest movements afoot TODAY
Is the Americanization movement. Be-
ing an American means something to-
day, when the eyes of the world are
turned to America as the hope and
leader of mankind.
Scouting goes hand In hand with
Americanization. A scout who lives up
to his oath, to do his duty to God and
country. to keep his scout law. to be
helpful to all people at all times, is
making himself INTO an American of
the best kind. 1t isn't necessary to
have been born on American soil to be
a good American.
"SOme Of our finest scouts, most low
al to our flag, most active in Liberty
loan and other patriotic work, first
saw light under foreign skies. But
that doesn't matter. They are Ameri-
cans just the same, because they stand
for what America stands for and be-
lieve in America as the land of hope,
opportunity and brotherhood.
"Stop and ask yourself If you are
being an American-the right sort of
American, through and through. You
want to serve your country. Every
scout loves America. Maybe some of
you envied your older brothers and
friends who had chance to fight for
her, die for her. You need not envy
anyone. You can live for America, and
that is the greatest service you can
offer her just now. She needs you.
