DAIRY COWS Fed
TOO MUCH GRAIN
Greatest Quantity at Lowest
Cost for Production Makes
Dairying Profitable.
HOLSTEIA COW MADE RECORD
Produced More Milk and 6utterfat
on Pasture, siaee and Roughaae
Than When Fed Grain-Feed
Stuff Grown on Farm.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Profitable dairying does not consist
In producing the greatest possible
quantity of milk.
1t does consist, however, in produc-
ing the greatest possible quantity OF
milk at the lowest possible cost.
To produce more milk, many dairy
men feed too mnch grain, and pile up
stupendous feed bills. But the grain
does not always, Increase the flow of
milk above what it would have been
without grain, enough to pay the diff
ference in the feed bill. Dairy special
lists of the United States department
of agriculture believe that in many
cases more grain is fed to dairy cows
that can be justified by the results In
milk and butterfat.
If your neighbor told you that his
COW, that had not eaten a pound Of
grain for a whole year, produced 5000
pounds more milk and 80 pounds more
butterfat than she ever did when fed
the regular grain and roughage ration
well, what would you believe If your
neighbor told you that? And yet,
that has actually happened. At least,
that is substantially the story that the
United States department of agricul-
ture tells about its Holstein cow,
Helen Unlike Calamity 1857.
Up to the time Helen was eight
years old, she had always been fed
a grain, silage, and roughage ration,
and the best she had ever done was
11,77S.2 pounds of milk and 36S.39
pounds of butterfat. When she was
eight years old, that being in the
spring of 1918, 1t was decided to feed
her no grain for a year. She lived
for a full II months on pasture, ST.
lage, and roughage. And that year
she produced 14,210.1 pounds Of milk
and 47O.24 pounds of butterfat. The
experiment was carried out at Hunt.
ley. Mont.
A Revolutionary Cow.
Helen may properly be referred to
as revolutionary COW. Some other
COWS, in cOw-testing associations and
elsewhere, have shown similar tend
encies. And the result is that the
dairy specialists are urging dairymen
to see IL it is not possible to produce
milk and butter without feeding so
much grain rs is commonly fed.
The basis of successful dairy feed
ing is now said to be to feed the cows
on the stuff that the farm produces
instead of buying great deal of grain
and other concentrates. The dairy
man should plan his feeding and crop
growing 10 take care Of the herd he
has, instead OF buying as the need
arises for more feed. He should de-
vote special attention to having the
right kind of pasture and the right
Kind of rouChage II he canpOt grow

INSURING HIGH PRICES.

A large number of eastern manufactur-
ers are selling their stocks to the trade
under a guarantee against decline in
prices. The principle of the policy is that
if the wholesaler buys at current prices and
conditions change so that lower prices for
the same commodities are made possible the
manufacturers will reimburse their Gus
toners for the difference. On its face the
plan looks like philantrophic method of APP
plying the golden rule. Beneath the sur
face it is an INSCRIPTIONS method by which
prices may be kept up. The manufacturers
control the output. They can limit or en-
large it. If they limit it they prevent the
reduction of prices by reducing the avail
able supply. The principle is simple.
There is demand for goods. The people
have rebounded from the restraints impos-
ed by the war. The retailer must secure
=tocks. The wholesaler must provide them.
Often the wholest Ter does not buy in the
market, but bids in the market. He pays
more than the manufacturers price in order
to get what he wants. His defeated com
petitors bid for the goods he has purchased
ana pay MIN more IHdu he paul ne oSIlo
to them. Frequently the manufacturer
himself rebuys the same goods he sold at an
advance over his own price in order that he
may sell them to his own customer at still
higher price. With the supply limited, this
process is possible until the prices reach into
the clouds.
There is a constant demand for greater
production and lower prices. But sales are
not based on commodity values. Instead,
they are entirely speculative. There is as
much gambling in the prices of foods and
clothing among the manufacturers as there
in stocks and bonds on the exchange
large part of artificial price imitation comes
from the methods of manufacturers to in
sure their customers against decline in
prices. They have developed a scheme
which makes their insurance safe propo-
stion while it allows them to hide their
profiteering behind masked face of piety.

Farming by The Moon.


Comes friend from the country districts,
and says:
"Thev can say all they want to about
planting in the moon,' but | know what l
have tried l don't need any curing house
to make sweet potatoes keep. When my po-
tatoes are ready to dig | go into the patch'
pull up one or two, break them and lay
them in the sun. In an hour or so go back
there and if the milk that ran out has dried
green in color let the potatoes stay IN the
ground If it has dried white l dig them,
and those potatoes will keep just as long as
want them.
Last year there was a carload of Irish
potatoes to plant on the place where | work
ed. 1t was on the old moon, and l was
glad to get them in Ten days later another
carload came. The moon was new then,
and they were planted against my judgment.
When we dug them the ground was full OF
potatoes from the first planting. The last
planting hardly made seed.
81 don't know what caused these two
things, but l do know that if you plant
at certain stages of the moon the plants go
to weed; at other stages they fruit heavily
Perhaps the moon don't affect the tides, but
they change at the same time
And so here you are. The controversy IS
as old as scientific farming, but lot OF
these old "moon fellows make good crops
You can take either side you want to. We
are impartial, but when we farmed we took
no chances

A Lot of Racket.
From the jackson Progress.

A lot of racket is being kicked up in At
lanta about Hoover's name appearing on the
democratic ballot. One faction is determin-
ed to have Hoover's name on the ticket,
while another faction is equally determined
that the former food administrators name
shall not go ON the ticket. 1t is a fight for
patronage, pap and power between the
Atlanta ring politicians.
The people of Georgia care little about
the matter, one way or the other. Hoover is
either a democrat, or he is not a democrat.
If he is democrat and cares to run in the
Georgia preferential primary his name
should go on the ticket. If he is not a
member of the democratic party and does
not care to run in the Georgia primary then
his name should be left off.
The plain folks of Georgia will not lose
any sleep about the row between Atlanta
politicians.
The preferential primary is a democratic
primary for white voters. None but demo-
Gratis should be allowed to participate in the
primary. Neither should the bars be let
down and allow politicians of every stripe
and every faith to run in purely democratic
white primary.

THE OTHER SIDE OF 1T.

Much sob stuff has been written about
the French bride of the American soldier
who protested in broken though vehement
English against the delivery of her meat by
automobile because of the extravaganza.
She has been held up to the American
women as the perfection of domestic frugali-
ty and saving. She has been eulogized be-
cause she comprehended that while she
might carry the meat home in market
basket she paid the same price as though it
were delivered by au automobile, and that
in fact she was paying for the delivery by
that method. All this is sound economic
philosophy, whether advanced by frugal
French woman lately arrived from her native
country or put into her mouth by some
clever typewriter philosopher
But it is interesting to look at the other
side of the picture. Do American husbands
want their wives to adopt the French fru-
gality? Are American women willing to
become copiers of French women's methods
of life and manner of saving? The French
woman is frugal because family economic
conditions force her to be. She must sell
the best things her little farm produces and
eat that which is left. She must market
her products with large expenditure of per-
sonal energy. She must work in the field
and in the home To further economic,
the domestic animals must have a shelter
under the same roof that shelters the family
or under an adjoining one. She cultivates
the little acreage with hoe and harvests it
with the scythe. A basket and her hands
take the place of an American manure
spreader. To these women the extrava-
gance of delivering meat by automobile is
criminal. Their viewpoint is readily under
stood
The French view is not the American
view of economy. No matter how much
extravaganza may be deplored penurious-
ness is more to be. Between silk shirts
and self-imposed sweat shop conditions silk
shirts are preferable. No American farmer
would go back to the wooden pillow, the sickle,
the scythe, the hand mill and dog cart. His
| larger method of doing things appears waste
full to the French, who tenderly care for ev-
cry plant that there might be no lost motion
in the yield of the land. When that French
bride gets the American bigness combined
with the French frugality she will be an
ideal wife, saving without being niggardly,
frugal without being penurious, economical
without being stingy, and liberal without be-
ing wasteful That is the ideal American
view. To that condition the American
people cannot too quickly return. But they
will not care to go so far back as to meet
the views of the French women in the mat
ter of household economies which destroy
the American idea of substantial comfort
an convenience.

What world of latitude to write under
this title! In her people may be found all
the qualities and virtues of noble, gener-
Gus and prosperous civilizations in her
climate the touch of the icy hand of winter,
and the balmy, perfumed breezes of Florida's
sunny cline; in her forests the hardwoods
and pines of every kind necessary for build
ing and manufacturing; in her orchards the
finest peaches, apples, and other fruit in the
world; in her fields an abundance and va
riety of farm products not exceeded, if
equaled, anywhere on earth; in her mines
the most precious metals and abundant coal
and iron; in her quarries the finest marbles
and the everlasting granite; in her streams
the power to turn the spindles and move
the wheels of nation; in her rivers and
harbors haven for the fleets of a worlds
commerce; in her soils possibilities of agri-
culture beyond the power of imagination!
Georgia, the Empire State of the South!
Where is the son who shall not glory to pro-
claim abroad her virtues or the adopted son
who still pines for the land of his birth?
In every state, from the Mississippi to the
Atlantic, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf,
it has been our pleasure to travel but in
none of these great. commonwealth have we
found anything like the complete and abund-
ant natural resources with which the hand of

and in all the hospitality and good fellow

sincere and restful as that of a Georgia
home, be it ever so humble.
Feeling this-knowing this-Kelly shall
we fail to tell it to the world? Georgia's

OEEIcIAl PRINTING WASTE.

Congress seems to be aroused at last over
the waste of public funds in useless enter
prises by the government. The joint COM
mittee on public printing has been investi-
eating the cost of spreading official propa-
ganda. In a recent report on the subject
is presented table which shows that 1853
S62 copies of addresses of the president,
weighing 79,497 pounds, have been printed
at a cost of $1379372. To this must be add
ed the expense of transmission of two large
freight car loads of matter through the
mails.
The treasury department was more pro-
life than the president 1t has printed "a
058OO0 copies of addresses by Secretary Nc
Adoo and 1,008,0O0 of those of Secretary
Glass. The expense of printing the McAdoo
addresses was $74067.43. They weighed
669630 pounds, or 1926 tons. While the re-
port does not disclose the fact, it is reason,
able to conclude that this material was dis
tributed through the postoffice. The war
department held the low record with 500
copies, weighing six pounds, printed at
total cost of $11.3O
The committee reports that the depart
ments are in the habit of duplicating publ
cations, and that immense quantities of each
publication are printed which never find
their way out of the storage rooms. They
accumulate so fast that the superintendent
is compelled every week to dispose OF tons
of such material as waste paper and which
has never been unpacked The committee
ordered the suspension of a number OF de-
partment publications. but the officials in
charge of them continue to print the GUS
tomarv quantities. A refusal to make ap-
nropriations for the work is the only meth
cd by which this extravaganza can be
stopped.
The wasteful and expensive policy OF cir
culating propaganda at the expense OF the
public is entirely indefensible.

CHURCH STATISTICS.

The year Book of the Churches" which
is Just off the press, contains some inter-
esting statistics of the religious faiths OF
the United States The statistics are retro
active, of course, and show past acquisi-
lions rather than future possibilities. New
ertheless, they make interesting reading,
even for those who find any statistics dry.
The total growth of all religious bodies
last year over 1916 the last year OF reliable
statistics because of the war disturbance,
was 2S61182 There was an increase OF
6.347 church organizations and of 1873
ministers and pastors. The total number
of church organizations now stands at 2S3'-
834. with 1913 ministers, priests and
rabbits and a lay membership of 447SO,O36.
The Roman Catholic membership that is
the baptized communicates, numbers III
549,S24, approximately three-eighths of the
whole church membership Some interest
ing features of the figures are the large
number of adherents of obscure faiths.
The two branches of the Mormon church
have a combined membership of 494,SSS.
Most people think Of the Mormon church as
an incident to Salt Lake City. The Russian
Orthodox church has 1851 communicates,
though it is seldom mentioned and little
known The adherents of the Jewish faith
number only 100000 memberships in the
: synagogues. This small number of com
municants, compared with the large number
of Jews in the country, is accounted for on
the ground that in most synagogues mem
bership is restricted to the heads of fami-
lies.
The subdivision of faith is illustrated by
the number of classifications under general
definitions of faith. The Baptists have
twenty-one different bodies or branches,
standing at the top of the list in subdivi-
sions. The Lutherans come second with
twenty bodies. The Methodists are third.
