FIGURE OUT DAIRY RAnoNs
Farmers Given Better UNDERSTANDING
OF Value and Cost Of Various
Feeds Available.

A series Of 20 dairy feeding schools
were conducted during the spring
months in six New Hampshire coun-
ties by county agents, working coop.
eratively with the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and the State
Agricultural college. Seven more are
planned. In carrying out these schools
lecturing and formal talk have been
practically eliminated and the dairy
men are seated at tables, where they
figure out for themselves the compo-
sition Of various rations and compute
costs. Much enthusiasm has been
aroused.
That the results are worth while is
Indicated by the statement of Hook
sett farmer, who reported saving of
81 q day, while another who attended
the school at Warner wrote the coun-
ty agent that he Is now saving $50 a
month as result Of feeding a ra-
ton that he figured out there. The
discussion provoked by the farmers
figuring these rations gives q better
understanding Of the value and cost
OF the various feeds available than
any amount Of lecturing could posi-.
bly, accomplish.

learned that one already!
CHOW, you should feel happy and
gay. But you must rest, too. You
must fix up your tent. Make haste. In
the morning the sun will shine and

"'But Giant" said the boy, we have

"'Whati You came on a trip Of
adventures without tent? Well,
there is only one thing to do about it..
Well have to call on Mrs. Wood Elf
and ask her if she can put you up for
the night
"Come with me and we shall see.
'"The boy and the girl followed the
Giant and turned off the road into a
dense forest. The Giant pushed back
the branches and waited until the boy
took hold of them, so they wouldn't
fly back in their faces.
"They went. on and On for some lit
tie distance.
"'Won't we lose our way when
morning comes and we're trying to
get back again.? asked che boy.
"'Mrs. Wood Elf will show you the
way back said the Giant. There she
is, now
''They looked and saw the ugliest
person they had ever beheld. She was
small and her face was very red They
had imagined from her name that she
was going to be quite beautiful. The
boy almost laughed aloud, and the
girls nose almost wrinkled into a dis
appointed look, but a wink from the
Giant made them careful.
"'Will you put up these two young
people for the night? asked the Giant.
They're making their way to the
House of Secrets, I've been told.
They're a good pair-they want adven-
lures. How about it? Will you pvt
them up so that they can go on with
their adventures tomorrow

"Mr. Gnome (no relation Of Peter),'
said the girl, lets his wife do all the
work, and so he never grows any big

cause she works so hard and because
she won't see that it isn't fair to him

works splendidly.
