Don't 0verfeed Dairy Cows

to roughage, as dairy COW should
have all the roughage she can be
forced to eat. She will eat more If

Some farmers do overfeed the dairy

ception rather than the rule. More
farmers undeTfeed, than overfeed.
A farmer came into the office a
few days ago, and in the course of the
conversation said he was feeding his
cows about 4 pounds of cottonseed
meal, about IL pounds of bran, and
some "nubbins", probably making a
total of 20 pounds per day per COW.
He also, SAID that his cows were av-

more than 16 pounds).
A COW giving two gallons of milk
per day should be fed about FIVE
pounds of grain per day, or for each
pound of milk per day, one-third
pound of grain. Overlooking of grain

TIE BABY BILL WAITS.

In wealth and power the United
States takes proud place among the great
nations of the earth. In some other
matters of vital concern to the welfare
of its people, it stands shamefully among
more backward nations. The annual re-
port of the secretary of labor states that
with the exception of the war-torn
countries of Europe, only Chile, Japan
and Spain show higher infant death
rates than our own country"
The report also presents the state
mcnt of the federal chidrcn's bureau
that none of the principal countries of
the world permit so great a waste of
mothers as the United States.'' The
growing seriousness of this waste is in

The United States bureau of education
is calling the attention of parents and
educators to a class of pupils not always
sufficiently considered. They are the
children known as ''repeaters."
\ repeater" is q child who fails of
promotion and must do over a second and
sometimes a third time. the work of pre-
vious term or year. The percentage of
these children is higher than most people
suppose. In one city of average educa-
tional standing. for every 1000 children
who enter school, 100 are forced to repeat
the first grade. While the percentage
grows less in the higher grades. it is TO
be found all the way up.
These children are partly responsible
for over-crowding in the elementary
schools. They cost the public extra money
for their education. They are frequently
troublesome because they have lost inter
est in the studies they must take over
again, and they are often ashamed and
unhappy to point which is bad for their
morale and that of their mates. Finally
they constitute a large proportion of the
children who leave school. inadnquately

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

Early in the fall it was thought that
the railroads troubles were nearly over
Most of them were making money again.
1t appeared that with few exceptions
they might soon be on sound basis
earning the g per cent calculated Tor
them in the transportation act which re
turned the lines to their owners. Now
they are in a bad way again. They are
handling the traffic well enough, but
many of them are making little or moth
ing. Some lines say they are unable to
purchase necessary supplies. Accord
ingly, their executives have been at
Washington once more appealing for re
lief
The relief asked so far has to do main
" with the payment by the government
of sums it owes the roads from its pc
Rod of control. Some further rate raises
NAV be asked for by certain groups Of
roads, but as vet there is nothing very
definite along that line.
The impression persists that the gov
eminent gave the railroads a 'guaran-
tee" of per cent. In reality all 1t
did was to establish for two years rates
which. based on the estimated value of
the railroad properties as whole, were
considered sufficient to earn per cent
under honest, efficient and economical
management" OF that return, One-half
per cent is expected to be used for i'm
provements and charged to capital ac-
count, leaving a net 5l3 per cent profit.
If a line or a sytem cannot make that
much. it is it's own affair. The only pos
sibility of further help from the govern
ment, provided present legislation stands.
is in obtaining some slight upward re
vision of rates in localities where it can
be proved that present rates are unfairly
low.
Wherever any such injustice is shown
to exist, public opinion will favor its
correction. There is little disposition,
however, to pay a subsidy in any form
to railroads that have got into the hole
because of poor management. If the
statements of railroad men prior to the
recent business slump may be credited,
the countrys transportation system as a
whole will be able to pay it's way as soon
as business revives and the normal vol
umc of traffic is resumed. For the time
being, the railroads are merely getting
their share of the hard times along with
other industries.
