Timely Dairy Ration

At present prices, protein feeds have extra value. A rough general rule followed by many successful dairymen is to feed grain mixture consisting of at least three kinds of feed: one a rich carbohydrate feed, such as hon. iny or corn meal; one bulky feed, such as bran or dried beet pulp; and ,oae rich protein feed, such as cot tonseed meal. Three such feeds mixed in equal parts, and fed at the rate of one pounds to four pounds of milk. is a good rule of htumb method of roughly compounding the grain ra- ton. The particular feeds used will, of course, depend on the market.
 At the present time, the following mixture would be fairly economical l;
 200 lbs. wheat bran.
 : 200 lbs. hominy meal.
 200 lbs. oil meal.
 Of course, the really expert feeder will vary the grain ration according to the roughage. Silage rich in ear corn. and non-leguminous hay, for ex- ample, would make it advisable to de- crease the carbohydrates and increase the protein in the ration. Silage with few ears, and clover hay, would, on

 Ordinarily, people feel that it is not especially injurious, and are willing to take the damage which comes from it once in long periodi which ordinarily is about what hap pens.
 The apple blotch, sometimes called sooty blootch, is entirely upon the surface of the apple, and does not go into the, skin or into the flesh. Be cause of this fact. it does not injure the fruit as severely as apple scab and other fungus troubles. It nevertheless hurts the appear ance badly, and drops the grade and the resultant selling price, great deal.
 Contrary to the general impression, apple blotch does fully as much dam age upon the twigs and small branch es as it does upon the fruit itself. A careful fruit grower fears this dam- age more than the damage to the fruit itself
 Trees should be sprayed thorough ly, but not drenehed.

ble; either the usual fungicide, lime sulfur quarts to 50 gallons of water or home made Bordeaux mixture, vii do good work.
 The second, and very important ap plication of the fungicide, should bs applied two weeks later, which is five weeks after the fall of the petals.
 It is necessary to protect the fruit during the period from four to six weeks after the fall of the petals, be. cause this is the time of greatest in. lection. Applications made three and five weeks after the fall of the petals will accomplish this. E In the event of heavy rains follow ing such applications, t will be neces- sary to apply extra spray.
 Bordeaux is more adhesive than lime sulfur, but is quite likely to dc more russeting on fruit, and more burning on foliage.

Nothing Matter With
 Navy, Gerard Says
Only Daniels Has Tolerated a
 Bunch of Adrnirals to Form a Soviet Board of Criticism.

New York, Feb. 1.-The past year for, the United States has been one of natullng and delay" and as charac- terized as the tragedy of tragedies ga Secretary of the Navy Daniels. who addressed the opening meeting here today of the campaign for the Near East Fund. Although America had not kept faith iwth the allies. he said he had confidence that the American peopie would do their duty.
 .sOne of the beliefs that carried us Daniels, was that small peoples have the right to liberty and to control their own destinies. Shall America alone fail now in sustaining that prin- epic? I do not believe it. am con- fident that the American people lwL respond to this call. Civ to Armenia present relief from the perils of star vation and then provide for the free dom Of the country from the rule of the Turk They will respond to this call as they have responded to every call made upon them since April 6, Js17."
 secretary Daniels in speaking of the navy said that the popular idea of the navy was that it only exists as a fight ing machine. This, he added, is it's chief mission, but if 1t had not proved a powerful agency in the protection of the people ard the upholding of the dignity of the flag at all times it had failed cf his mission. In the war on this side and in conveying troops across and in protecting the interests of the allies he declared it had prov ed it's worth anu had done it's full share in bringing about u1 peace.
 There was nothing the matter with the American navy during the war James W. Gerard. former ambassador to Germany, said in a brief address.
 'sThe trouble ith the secretary is that he is too good natured," added bfr. Gerard If I had been secretary of anybody csc had formed a soviet boarI ti criticism, would have had them on the slide and their heads ir the basket inside of twenty -four hours.''

PROCEDURE OF SELECTING
 A KING FOR HUNGARY

Budapest, Friday. Jan. 30.-Proce6- ure necessary for the possible ap- pointment of a regent and selection of king IS outlined in a general or der by Admiral Horthy, head of the new HungariS,n army, published in newspapers here today. The order was issued as a result of the extremist movement, which has been advocating the substitution of the old Friedrich cabinet for the Huszar government, no win power. The former is reputed to have been an ardent supporter of Archduke Joseph.
 Promises to the allied power that the Huszar cabinet i'll remain in con- trol until the national assembly meets are recalled by Admiral Hor- thy who points out the national as sembly should elect a temporary re- gent and then appoint a new cabinet. He says T will resist any attempt to violate our prices"
 l, is generally regarded that the oiGer is not antagonistic to Archduke Joseph, but is an effort to insure the orderly conduct of public affairs as well as to give the national assembly oTcrtunity to refer any decision re- gardihg a monarchial constitution or choice of king to the people. Legal authorities are not agreed as to wheth- q Hungary is still a Kingdom, or is a republic, and whether the national assembly is empowered to determine the form of the constitution without a plebiscite.
 iTandhf1fs bearing the words: teLons live Archduke Joseph Hungarys fu- tnre king" are being distributed here.
