COW is given the best feed and care.
'The stable in which the cow is to
be kept should be cleaned and wen
bedded, broken windows and doors re
placed or repaired, and the ventila
tion system put into working condi-
ton so that the change from outdoor
and pasture life to that of the stable
may be made asi moderate as pos
sible. The cow must be comfortable
if she is to be profitable.
"The feed of the cow, always an
important. factor, is extremely so al
this season. A splendid basis fol
her ration is found in the feeds that
are usually grown on every dairy
farm. Clover or alfalfa hay with
corn silage furnish a very satisfac-
tory roughage combination for the
ration. It is economical to supply
the hay in as large amounts as the
COW will consume. Twenty to 35
pounds of silage, depending on the
size of the animal, should be given
from the first day Of barn feeding
for it will aid greatly in making easy
the transition from pasture to dry

feeding.
"In addition to the roughaee the
COW producing milk should receive
some grain or concentrate feed.
Corn and oats furnish an exce|lent
basis for, such a grain ration. will
usually, however, be fousd profitable
to purchase other feeds to add to
these. A combination of 300 pounds
ground corn, 200 pounds ground
oats, 200 pounds bran and 100
pounds linseed oilmeal will give
good results. One pound of this mix
ture to every three pounds of milk
produced is about the proper ratio
for a Jersey or Guernsey cow, while
the lower testing Holstein should
receive only one pound for every four
pounds of milk she gives. The
quantity should vary from this rule
with different individuals, some
cows consuming larger proportion
of roughage than others and there
fore requiring trifle less concen-
trates."

"U" Will Help Install Utilities in
Farm Homes-To demonstrate that
water and sewage disposal systems
are the most needed improvements
in Minnesota farm, homes and to
show how they are installed. the ag-
ricultural engineering division of
the University of Minnesota will
make survey, draw the necessary
plans and compile a list of the ma
terials needed for the systems, ac-
cording to E. A. Stewart, associate
professor of agricultural physics at
University Farm.
Where this service is performed
by the division, however, the owner
must be willing to cooperate with
the division in staging demonstra-
tion for the benefit of others in the
community who may be interested.
Travelling expenses in connection
with the survey must be paid by the
farmer for whom the survey is made.
These expenses are ordinarily light,
because surveys are usually made on
the same trip. Installation work is
practically completed when demon
strations are held.
Demonstrations have already been
given at Rush City, Moorhead and
Kandiyohi and surveys completed at
Tonkawood, White Bear, Lake Elmo,
-Chanhasseh, Rainier, Margie, Under
wood, Eveleth, Barnum, and Wren

Pig Club Boys Girls Coming to
Next Fair-With the appropriation
OF $1,000 for pig club exhibits by
Juniors at the 1922 state fair, an
important change has been made in
the regulations governing this an
nual contest. Heretofore the money
has been used in paying premiums
and the express charges and feeding
expenses of the stock. In 1922, for
the first time, the travelling expenses
of the boy and, girl exhibitors to and
from the fair will be paid. from the
appropriation, as well as the premi-
ums and shipping expenses of the
pigs. In order that the appropria-
tion will meet the added expense It'll
has been provided that there must be
at least Is juniors in the pig club
work in a county to secure represen-
tation in the state fair competition.
1t is felt that the change will en-
courage the young pig raisers and be
the making of the new pig show
event. The pigs, too, if . survey
could be taken, would no doubt voice
approval of the innovation.

Homemakers' Week-The week OF
the big annual congress of farm folks
at University Farm-Farmers' and
Homemakers' Week, Jan. 2 to z in
clusive-will not be devoted to work
entirely. Rather, it is planned so to
mix work, recreation and entertain
ment that the visitors will look back
on their weeks stay with unalloyed
pleasure and plan to attend future
courses at University Farm. Recre-
ational and entertainment features
will take the form of mass meetings
in the afternoon and general meet
ings each evening and a banquet for
the people from the farms. Good
music and speaking with occasional
moving picture shows, will be fea-
lures of these meetings.
The work of the day will comprise
lectures, discussions and demonstra-
tions by university teachers. The
farmer can select the particular
study in which his interest centers.
Also the homemaker can take up the
work which will be most helpful in
her individual case, whether home
management, planning meals, design
ing gowns, or the home care of the
sick and the welfare of the children,
No fees are charged for attendance
upon class work or at meetings. The
only expense to the individual will
be for train fare and board and lodg-
ing. Meals and sleeping accommo-
dations can be obtained at the farm

Cooperators Ship Eggs; Gain 21
Cents D0zen.-The Meeker county
poultry demonstration community at
Kingston, which is one of 10 in the
state designated by poultry special
lists of the university, recently netted
IS cents a dozen on small trial
shipment of large, fresh white eggs
to the New York market. The price
received at New York was 81 cents
a dozen more than the price paid in
the local market. Seems almost. un-
believable, doesn't it, but it's truth
is vouched for by County Agent T.
G. Stitts of Meeker county and j..
E. Matson, secretary of the Kings
ton organization. 1t should be said
that the eggs were shipped in car
of butter SO as to save the express
charges.
The Kingston cooperators also ship
ped four cases of strictly fresh eggs,
graded as to size and color, to st.
Paul firm which paid them six to
eight cents a dozen above the price
they would have received at home.
The Twin City market is preferred
during the winter because of danger
of loss from freezing when eggs are
Shipped in butter cars in cold
weather.
Cooperative marketing Of eggs, as
well as butter, has commended itself
to County Agent Stitts, who feels
that the county farm bureau now has
opportunity to increase materially
the egg income Of Meeker county
farmers. The far east, in partieu-
=, seems willing to pay the maxi
5aum price for well graded eggs

Lodge would retire from position of
majority leader by reason of the fact
that he is to represent the govern
ment as one of the delegates to the
disarmament conference; that Senator
Cummins, of Iowa, president pro tenn
of the senate would resign because of
i'll health, and that his place would be
taken by Senator Curtis, of Kansas,
who has been assistant majority
leader.
But none of these changes was
made, so it is understood, the Repub-

The political battle fought in the

the Democratic side extending an in

them and bring about a defeat of the

It was then that the western Re-

the inevitable consequences of the
Irritation they bad engaged in all last
summer with the Democrats. The
speech of Senator Watson reminded
them tactfully but firmly that they
were Republicans, that they were now
but a few days removed from the time
when they would have to choose be

alliance with the minority which
would result in embarrassment to the

who was trying to protect those build
ings still remaining standing, were to
be criticised because seeking you to
protect something that still had form
and substance, while you are going

The senator from Indiana, in his
new capacity as unofficial majority
leader, is fighting a two-fsted fight
without gloves, employing the same
tactics as his principal Democratic OPP
ponent, the pugnacious Senator Pat
Harrison, of Mississippi. Recent Re
publican aggressiveness has been of
the wrist-slapping variety. The rough
and-tumble style of fighting now being
employed appears to be meeting with
the approval of the Republican mem.
bers of the senate.
