RATIONS FOR DAIRY CATTLE
By A. w. Knott

lhe dairy calCle OF TINS section of
the state are now housed in winter
quarters, but few of them are re-
celvlng proper winter rations. A
ration winch has given good success
on many farms is as follows:
100 lbs. ground oats
100 lbs. ground corn or barley
100 lbs wheat bran
80 lbs. oil meal.
This mixture should be fed at the
rate of one pound tor eacn three or
four pounds of milk produced. A
COW testing $50 should receive less
grain for each 100 pounds of milk
than cow testing 4.5H. Where cot
tonseed meal can be had, it can be
mixed with oil meal on "fifty-fifty"
basis. The ration containing twenty
five pounds of cottonseed meal and
twenty five pounds of oil meal, will
usually give better results if fed with
corn silage and roots, than the ration
containing only oil meal.
In addition TO the above ration, the
cattle should receive about so rounds
of silage or roots Cor eight pounds of
dried beef pulp, soaked twenty -four
hours) and ten to twelve pounds of
clover hay. Where only tmlorny nay
is fed, the amount of oil meal should
be increased, and where no silage is
led, an additional pound of oil meal
should be given to each milking cow.

The Street of Reading
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Perhaps, after all, Joe Gargery had the right theory of reading. Jo said, 1t will be remembered, that when he picked up book and found J and an 0, and realized he had encountered his own name, he found read reading great pleasure. Many whose read ing has been more extensive than Jos have the same pleasure in rereadng familiar things, and probably what we know as the reading habit is the ability or inclination in a reader to return to books that can have nothing new for him. and yet find them fresh and interesting.
 reader who can do that never is out of reading in the house. Probably, indeed, no person can be called a reader who does not, to some extent, reread old books. That is particularly true when the reading is poetry, for it will not we suppose, be contended that any lover of poetry ever was satisfied with a single reading of liked poem. To under stand good poetry a reader must live with it, must come to know it thoroughly; mere ac- quaintanceship won't do.
 To lesser extent this is true of all read ing. first reading of book is a mere in- troduction. The occasion may be unfortunate and the impression unfavorable but if we cultivate the acquaintance we may find that it improves, and when at last we can take it up and reread it with pleasure we may know we have discovered friend that will wear. Stevenson confessed that he had read certain of the Dumas romances a great many times and with increased enjoyment. These books certainly could have had no surprises for him. He knew what was going to happen, yet he missed the thrill when it happened. This is the test, and Stevenson we must call a reader. He had companionship in books, and if guess aright he had book for every mood. Every seasoned reader has. Moods are not susceptible of analysis even by the reader himself, he only knows that one night nothing will serve him but romance, and another nothing but history. He doesn't question why, but his hand goes out mechani- cally to his bookshelf and always finds the right volume.
 These facts ought to be understood at Christmas when many of us will buy books to send to friends We ought to unburden ourselves of all worries at the start as to whether the friends we propose to remember with such gift has or has not read the books we have in mind The chances are he has read it. Good He will, if he be reader read it again and have to thank us for real pleas use. If he hasn't read it, good again. Here's the chance that he may make new friend will fill up many future hours for him. Good books never wear out and reading grows by what it feeds on.

WHAT TO PRINT

Chester s. Lord, in the Saturday Evening Post
 What to print? This is a question that has disturbed many editors nightcap. So much depends the editorial purpose. If the edi- tor seeks to have wholesome influence, seeks to do good, seeks a reputation for honesty of purpose and honesty of community service he naturally will stick to conservative course For somehow exaggeration and sensationalism not to mention falsehood do not seem quite to harmonize with moral precepts; nor do they in- spire confidence in the editors influence. The conservative sheets are duller, but they are trusted the more; and public confidence is a mighty fine foundation on which to build healthy circulation.
 Many persons read the same newspaper for years and years. They become used to it's ways, it's arrangement of news; and they have con- fidence in it's integrity. It comes to be almost a spiritual consolation to them. They swear by it and they believe in it just as they believe in their pastor their family physician. This is true especially of readers in the smaller cities, although it prevails everywhere.
 Now, it behooves the editor to nurse this at titude, for once it gets hold on community it is hard to dislodge It grows like river after spring rains, slowly but surely increasing in volume and in strength.
 The people bought Greeey's Tribune because they believed that Greeley was honest. They were willing to be influenced by what he said For the same reason Bowles' Springfield Re- publican became popular and prosperous. Throughout the country we have repeated in- stances of newspapers having the confidence of the community because they are honestly con- ducted.

tember 30, 1921, the net revenues of the city were $62,3s5.s4 more than it's expenditures The fiscal year which ended September 20, 1920 showed surplus of $6,926.e9 An even better illustration of good financial management is the wiping out of deficit in current accounts of $2o7071 by the former administration which went into office four years agoa
 It is gratifying to know that the city of Bir- mingham is not only living within it's income and has credit rating superior to many other cities of the same size or larger in the United States, but that money has been wisely spent for paving, for educational purposes, for main taining excellent police and fire departments and in other ways in keeping with the needs of a progressive American city.
 During last year approximately $1,oOOOoO was spent for paving, one of the most important items in all growing municipalities. When city has we'll paved streets it is safe to assume that it has good schools and other advantages main tained on an equal scale to serve the public.
 For the board%bf education in the operation of public schools the city spent $1,313, ,67o64. The police department cost $ao7, ,194 9e, and the fire department s456,o74.29. Interest on outstanding bonds amounted to $465, ,O51.67. A total of $89,81954 was spent on the health de- partment. The bonded indebtedness of Br- mingham is now $9,494, 100, which compares very favorably with the indebtedness of other cities.
 Judging from the comptrollers report, Bir- mingham's financial condition is to be proud of and is credit to the efficiency of the public officials who made it possible.

When the special train from Mitchell dam reached Calera Monday night the newsboys were crying, "All about the wreck on the Southern; two killed and many hurtv
 The papers were soon sold out, for everyone wanted to learn about the wreck and see if any friend was among the killed or injured. It was with great personal sorrow that read of the fatal injury of Engineer Watkins, one of the most devout men I have ever known.
 On Fridty of the week before he had stopped me Fifth avenue between The Age-Herald building and the Tutwiler, and we had pleas ant chat He was like the late Dwight L. Moody in never holding a conversation with anyone without speaking a good word for Jesus.'
 He was preacher who believed in personal work, and never missed chance to talk about what wonderful thing it was to be Christian and live right. He was not one of the fussy kind of personal workers, but used tact and common sense in his approach to men. There nothing of the pious loser about him. One look into his rugged, manly face was sufficient to let any reader of character know that he was face to face with a real man.

He had a mania for gambling, and used to laughingly say that he "never sat in game unless 1t was raided." It got to be such joke that lot of boys would refuse to sit in if Jim bought chips.

AMERICAS ARMY RECORD ABOVE IMPEACHMENT

Should Senator Thomas Watson succeed in proving dozen cases of brutality in the record of the American expeditionary forces in France, he will merely establish the fact that among mil lions of men and officers engaged in the rough practices of war such acts were bound to occur.
 American soldiers were hanged for shooting up the town of Brownsville, Tex. That was in time of peace, and the trials of the condemned men had all the delberation of peace-time pro- cedure. It is not to be wondered that few gibbets were equally necessary in war when there were men from all walks of life to be dealt with
 While Senator Watson Is attempting to bring army officers into disrepute for isolated acts of cruelty, the rank and file of the army have not forgotten, and will not forget, the treatment accorded them by their country. No soldiers were ever so well cared for, none had better food, warmer clothes, more continuous and considerate watchfulness over their health and comfort.

SQUADRON MAKES PROGRESS

 ''It is our hope after the 135th Observation squadron is completely recruited to secure a photographic branch at Birmingham. Much progress has been made on the field, and it has mostly been by hard work on the part of squad members and assistants from the various civic organizations.
 Framework for the hangars is already up, much of the ground has been cleared, and over one-fourth of the money needed to assure the field has been raised at time when other cam- paigns for funds were attracting the people,"

THE STORK ARRIVES IN BLOOMFIELD From the Bloomfield (N. J.) Independent

 It was not the purr of aeroplane but the melodious lullaby of the gentle motion of stork's wings that caused people to gaze sky ward Monday morning. High in the heaven. they the bird of good omen gracefully circ- ling through space in the vicinity of Bloomfield avenue and Roosevelt avenue. Instinctivey all who saw the bird knew that bundle of happi- ness was on the way to some household in the vicinity Spectators of sporting propensties immediately began to make bets as to where the stork would leave it's burden. Each successive circling glide brought it nearer to the residence of Fred J. Ott, 443 Bloomfield avenue, and there it disappeared from public view. Later on the radiant face of MT. Ott appeared and he offered the glad hand to every one, and his only regret was that the Eighteenth amend ment interferred with doing justice to the oc- casion.
 It was son and weighed eight pounds.

A SICILIAN GARDEN

Charlotte Becker, in the New York Herald. Iris and roses line the graveled ways
 That run down to the waters very edge,
 And nightingales chant softly midst the sedge Through which, as Pan on reeds of yesterdays, passing wind faint tunes at twilight plays. One wonders if the moss grown, broken faun Within the fountain-though his hoofs are
 gone Yearns to cavort unto these ancient lays. Perchance Theocritus once wandered here
 Beside the drowsy blue Sicilian sea,
 And wrote beneath this gnarled old ilex tree, And these frai melodies, so low and clear,
 Blown by the wind and chorused by the birds May be the phantoms of his rustic words

funny" he replied, "for last Sunday night Dr. Broughton baptized me-" We had good heart to heart talk, and then it was he told ma about his running mate Watkins leading him to Christ. Jim's conversion was a even-day wonder to his old associates but he stuck and became one of the best men have ever known. His faith in God was that of little child.
 For more than . score of years Watkins and Hawes were known between here and Atlanta by hundreds who know them as the two Chris tian engineers who never entered their cabs without prayer. With them it was no per- functory thing; they were earnest, devout men of God, and through the years 1t was comfort to thousands who travelled between here and the Gate City to know that the men at the throttle were consecrated Christians A year so back Jim was pensioned, but Watkins kept his run.
 . Few men were better prepared to meet death than was Watkins, the preacher engineer, for he lived his religion seven days in the week. happened to mention his death to a we'll known negro here, and he said, "Oh, he is the man my brother, who is porter on the Pullman between here and Atlanta, Is always talking about. He just thinks he is handed down." And what the negro porter thought every man on the road believed.
 Engineer Watkins and not only had Jim Hawes as bond between us, but every time I came back from the Southern Baptist con- vention he would ask if had seen F. H. his preacher nephew. He was mighty proud of the record of his young nephew. It's hard to realize that never more will I hear the hearty greet ings of my friend or be able to look into his shining countenance. His memory as true Christian will long live among the employees on the Southern.

ENTERPRISE ENCOURAGED BY
 EASIER MONEY

Easier money is lubricating the machinery of business. Mobile road bonds sold at par for the first time in several years this week. The city of Chattanooga has sold $10o,000 of 1-2 per cent refunding bonds to local and Chicago concerns at par and $l1, ,ooo premium. The bid ders offered to take the bonds at 3-4 per cent interest on $72o premium. This is the best price that Chattanooga bonds have brought since the war;
 The result of easier money is going to be . tremendous amount of road construction through Notation of city, county and state se- curities, and tens of thousands of miles of water mains that have been waiting on the sale of securities at reasonable rates will be laid.

PURCHASING AGENTS TO PROMOTE HOME TRADE

The purchasing agents of Birmingham are permanently organized in an association, whose object is to promote trade in Birmingham and to cause the location in Birmingham of outside firms seeking to do business here. The associa- tion has already done much of this work Under permanent and systematic operation more wsu be done.
 It works this way: There is firm that has been selling goods to industrial concerns and others. Heretofore it has contented itself with sending it's travelling men here at intervals It's southern offices may be in neighborng city. The Birmingham purchasing agents will suggest to this firm that it might sell more goods if 1t maintained warehouse, distributing agency and offices here; that the purchasing agents will deal preferably with those who do so. This district being larger purchaser of the firms houses now are, the firm will take the hint of the purchasing agents and localize itself. course, but many warehouses and offices will be located in Birmingham by firms making goods not manufactured in Birmingham on the sug- gestion made by the purchasing agents, and they will become home concerns Once located as local factory. The plan is far-reaching one.

BoLsHEvISM IS DONE FOR"

Alexander Kerensky, in LIndependance Beige
 (Brussels).
 1 suppose that one could at present, with no chance of being misunderstood or meeting any very serious objection, declare without further proof that the bolshevst experiment is pretty well done for, and that from this time on, every link is broken between the self styled workers and peasants government on the one hand and the workers and peasants themselves on the other.
 One could go on to say that not only is this true in Russia itself, but that to the same degree in Europe, the masses of workers, with out being completely freed from the obsessons brink of a definite cure of that dangerous malady.
 Expansion of bolshevism in any land has been in direct proportion to the exhaustion resulting from the war, and in inverse proportion to the level of industrial development which it has attained, and the quality of that development, and to the power of the organization of it's proletarat.
 There is another and no less characteristic means of judging: in the occidental countries contaminated with bolshevism, the number of partisans among the workers dimnishes in pro- portion the economic life develops and the power of organization of the working masses increases.
 The intigators of the third international have often tried to show that it is the period of general exhaustion which especially favors the process which they call-nobody knows why-the social revolution; but, in reality, it is nothing but process of social decomposi- ton.
