FEED FOR MILK PRODUCTION
Thousand-pound Cow Devotes About
Half of Her Food to Maintenance
OF Her Body.

Too many cows are underfed. A
cow weighing 1000 pounds needs each
day, for the maintenance of her body.
an amount of food equivalent to that
supplied in eight pounds of clover hay
and 20 pounds of good corn silage, ac-
cording to M. FL. Keeney of the Uni
versity Of Missouri college of agrlcul-
ture. She must have this food regard
less of whether she produces any milk.
Food used for milk production must be
in addition to that required to keep
the cows body. A 1,O0O-pound COW
producing 20 pounds of per cent milk
a day, If properly fed, devotes about
half of her feed to maintenance and
half to milk production. Obviously.
when a dairyman has gone to the ex-
pense of supplying that half of the
food required for maintaining the cows
body, it is poor economy to withhold
any Of the other half, all of which goes
to produce milk. A COW then requires
feed In accordance to the amount of
milk she is able to produce. The heavy
producer needs the most feed.
Farm-grown roughages (silage, hay.
etc.) furnish the cheapest food nutri
ents. However, a good dairy COW cam
not eat enough roughage to supply her
needs for milk production. She must
have some grain. Therefore, to feed
with the most economy the following
rules must be observed:
1. Feed all the roughage COW will
eat. She will eat more If fed three
times day instead of twice.
2. Feed grain in proportion to the
pounds of milk produced.
To Jersey or Guernsey COW feed
one pound Of grain for each 8 to S1h
pounds of milk produced. To a Hol-
stein, Ayrshire or Shorthorn feed one
pound of grain for each to Az pounds
Of milk produced.

An Uncapped Long Shock of Oats Of
the dutch" Type, Near Minneapolis,
MINI,

wheat in each 100 acres Of improved
farm land has not varied much from
IL, and corn has not varied greatly
from 20 acres.
Let no farmer think that oats are
becoming an undesirable or unpopular
crop. Experts in the United States
Department of Agriculture who have
made a special study of the oat crop,
advocate extensive sowings, though of
course, it does not follow that this
grain will pay in all sections, any more
than that dairying is profitable every
where. Nevertheless, great number
of American farmers, particularly in
the corn belt, are justified in making
extensive sowing of oats each year. 1t
must be borne in mind that the man
who is successful in growing oats.
grows this crop as one in rotation
series. 1t is not his principal farm
produce, but is one of several import
ant enterprises.
1t is occasionally pointed out that
the oat crop actually gives less returns
than corn, for instance, and SO the
wisdom of growing oats when corn
can be grown is questioned. The
answer is that liberal acreage of oats
can be provided without materially re-
ducing the corn acreage, as oats do
not compete seriously with the labor
necessary to raise corn. The oat crop
{t, NV tn, %ho cy.rincr hnfnrn ~
is desirable to prepare the fields for
corn, and when once sown does not
call for further labor until harvest
On the other hand, the number of acres
of corn which can be grown depends
largely on how much ground can be
plowed and cultivated by the farmer
Most important of Small Grains.
Farmers in sections where corn
natures too late to make the sowing
of wheat after corn cutting a safe
venture, have learned that oats is the
most important of the small-grair
crops. This applies particularly to
Iowa and adjoining territory, namely
northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin
eastern Nebraska, southeastern Soutl
Dakota, and southern Minnesota. Ere
quently rotation as practiced in the
corn belt covers 5-year period with
two crops of corn, one of small
grain, and two of timothy and clover
Where this practice prevails it is
logical that oats be used as the transi
ton crop from corn to the grasses.
If oats is to be made the important
crop which experts contend it should
| be, the question naturally arises as tt
! how the best returns can be secured
Ordinarily the most profitable way is
i to SOW oats on disked corn land. Il
the land was well plowed last year an(

USE COMPRESSED AIR

Interesting Possibilities Offered

Many People Apply Light Oil to Side

Many people try to avoid the disa-

by applying light oil to the side of
the spring, trusting to its tendency to
creep in between the leaves. Some
of it usually does, but not enough to do
much good. Of course, the body of the

Most present-day gasoline tanks are
fitted with sediment trap, which
usually is located at the place where
the pipe line leaves the tank. This
trap has wire gauze screen and a

No Matter How Difficult
 CamePamen Shoot" If

Apropos of the dangers attached to winter filming in the Northland, may be mentioned a trip out to sea on an ice-fIoe made by one of the photographers of the Swedish Bio graph Go. He had been sent to a spot on the far northern coast of Sweden to take scenes showing the ice breaking up and the noes sailing out to sea. For several weeks he did nothing else but await the right instant to start grinding. At last it came Tn spite of warnings. the pho tog-apher hurried onto the ice, put his camera into position and began to work He secured some wonder full scenes, packed his outfit and faced shorewards. Alas, tremen- dous Assure had appeared in the ice and he was fast floating out into the Gulf of Bothnia- His preGicam ent had been observed from the shore, and large sea going motorboat was launched. After much manoevering 2 among the ice pack, the too adven- turous photographer was rescued. He expressed no wish to repeat the stunt.

BROOKLYN CLUB HOPES TO LAND
 INFIELD STARS

New York, Feb. 9-Charles Ebbets, Brooklyn magnate, went to Chicago today in the hope of making a deal or so. McGraw needs infelders which are just what Ebbets needs and hopes to get this week. However, as it stands the Brooklyn club has no little potential possibilities. Ray Schmandt, the infielder, was spiked in Jackson vile last spring and never was able to do himself justice. He will be bet ter this year in the natural course of events. Chuck Ward underwent an operation this winter for a floating cartilage in the knee and expects to be a lot better for it.
 Olson can be shifted to third if needs be, and besides Robinson has Dougles, Baird and Pete Kilduff among the infield candidates. Rowdy Elliott joins the catching forces, and a good deal is expected of him. Cal Ewing, the Californian, speaks highly of Elliotts improved receivershlp. Marquard and Grimes as well as Schmandt suffered from injuries last year, and the Brooklyn people are confident that with no i'll luck they'll do much better in the race this year even with no more than they now have.

PLAZA.

Without a doubt, beautiful Norma Talmadge is the most popular star on the screen today. Norma is known to be one of the most versatile of all feminine screen stars. but her remark able talent in this direction has never been shown to such good advantage as in her latest Select Production, "She Loves and Lies" which is now being shown at the Plaza theatre. In this adaptation of Wifkie Collins story of the same name Miss Talmadge DOT trays three separate and distinct roles each being of a different social caste, age and physical appearance. Not only does she make her portrayals realistic but she makes them convfnc- ing, as well. As in her previous suc- cesses the talent surrounding her is of the highest calibre. Conway Tearle is her leading man and the balance of the cast is composed of well known stage and screen favorites. Two crowded houses greeted the initial showing of the Norma Talmadge fea- ture last night and they were unani- nous in declaring it one of her best. The mana cement respectfully exhorts his patrons to come early as immense crowds will be the rule during the playing of this feature. A big vaude- vile bill is also shown today.

Revision of Weights For Jockeys Needed
 Track Experts Say

New York, Feb. g. - There is movement on foot among the Eastern members of the American Jockey Club looking forward to revision of the rules which apply to the weights jockeys must make in the various class and stake races at various distances.
 The claim Is advanced that under present conditions the American turf is going to lose many of tls leading riders because they find it impossible to keep within the weights prescribed by the rules It is pointed out that in some events which are fixtures on the turf in this country only imma- ture youths can be expected to make the poundage and such a condition rebounds against the sport, because the better class of riders are unable to accept mounts
 Under the present arrangement weights are apportioned according to the horses, the mounts of the year and the distance of the events to be contested. For instance, in one-haif mile races for two-year-oids during January "A pounds is the limit This same condition permits an increase to TT pounds for February, 30 pounds for March, S2 pounds for April, S4 pOunuS LOT hS1y, oo pouleA9 iol o oiie S9 pounds for July, 93 pounds fo- August, 96 pounds for September and 98 pounds for October, November and December.
 For races of one and one-half miles and there are hundreds of them every year in this country - the weight for 3-year-olds is 104, and for this particular class this weight does not increase over III pounds at any time during the year: This is said to be too low and too eXacting and instances have been cited to prove the requirement works a hardship CT jockeys and owners and deprives the ,,,,Ilic nf e,o,na eYcelIant cnnteStS

LYRIC.

Applications for reservations are pouring into the box office at the IIy- ric theatre for seats for the produc- tion of that famous mystery drama, <'The Voice in the Dark which begins this afternoon. The Poli Players have been rehearsing faithfully and Vii lard Dashtell, the director, is confi- dent that no one will be disappointed at any of the performances this week. ''The Voice in the Dark is one of the most powerful dramatic productions that has been seen in this city in some time and with unprecedented seccess to it's credit in New York it should be received with delight here.
 The bulk of the work will fall to the lot of Miss Mary Ann Dentler, the versatile leading woman, and Arthur Chatterdon, the leading man of the company. The story of the play is woven about a mysterious murder in which circumstantial evidence points to woman as the guilty person. The blame is shifted se-ral times but at last falls upon one who is least sus- pected throughout the play. It is not until the final denouement that the audiences aware of who killed the man and a, succession of surprises keeps every one on edge until the final curtain falls.
