DAIRY
HINTS
SECRETS OF DAIRY SUCCESS
Two Big Things Are Proper Care and
Feed, Says Specialist Of Okla
homa College.

1.-Two great secrets in dairying which
have been the reason for the success
of thousands Of dairymen are proper
feeding Of cows and proper care Of
cows" says A. G. Baer, head Of the
Dairy Husbandry department Of Ok
lahOma Agricultural and Mechanical
college.
Thousands Of cows would be profit
able and good cows If they were given
chance; If they were properly fed,
housed, and cared for.
Good feeding means to give cows
enough feed to produce milk and the
right kind of feed to produce milk
Most of the feed for cows ought to
be grown on Oklahoma FARMS Alfalfa
hay Is the best dairy cow feed which
can be grown. Corn and sorghums,
such as kafir and darsO, can be grown
for the sllO. Ensilage on dairy farm
or any farm where dairy cows are
kept provides succulent feed and Is In
dispensable.
Most Of the grain for cow feeding
can be grown on the average Okla
HOiuu AoIIH. "A SOOu gram iulxluTe IOr
milk cows is as follows: parts
ground oats. 3 parts bran or alfalfa
meal, 8 parts ground kaf1r, part cot
tOnseed meal.
"A dairy COW needs about one pound
Of grain for three or four pounds of
milk produced. Dairy cows should be
fed grain individually according to the
amount Of milk for growth II imma-
ture, and at times to produce gain in
weight.
DAIRY cattle will respond to good
care. Every Oklahoma farm where
cows are kept should have at least a
good shed to protect the cows from
bad weather and cold winds. A blan-
ket In very cold weather will pay
for itself in very short time Every
dairy COW should be cleaned and
brushed regularly. 1t helps to keep
her in better health"

N was almost swept away In the
Democratic landslide at the election
on November Z. According to the re-
turns at this writing. the G. o. Z. In
the next congress will have SO sena-
tors compared with 60 now, and the
Democrats will have AZ compared
with 80 now. Doctor Shlpstead, who
defeated Senator Kellogg in Mime
sofa. represents the Farmer-Labor
party.
The lower house Of the Sixty eighth
congress will be composed OF 225 Re
publicans, 2O7 Democrats. one Social
ist, one Independent and one Farmer
Labor member. II these figures are
not changed by the revised returns,
the Republicans will have a majority
over all Of Is.
Nine senate seats were lost by the
Republicans, by the defeat OF Sena'
tors DUPONT in Delaware, France In
Maryland. Townsend In Michigan,
Kellogg In Minnesota. Frelnghuysep
in New Jersey, Calder in New York.
Poindexter In Washington. and Suth-
erland In West Virginia. and of Albert
J. Beveridge in Indiana. The Demo
Gratis lost two seats through the down
fall of Senators Hitchcock In Nehras-
ka and Pomerene in Ohio.
Among the outstanding results Of
the election was the great victory Of
AL Smith In New York. He defeated
Miller for the governorship, which he
once before held. by plurality Of
more than $4,000 This makes him a
logical possibility for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency In 1924.
and already his enthusiastic admirers
are booming him for that honor. One

Washington think President Harding
will not seek another nomination be-
cause the great reverses sustained by
his party are interpreted as the ex-
preston Of dissatisfaction with his
administration. However, IL he should
wish to lead the ticket again, two
likely contenders for the place are
now out of it-Beveridgc OF Indiana
and Miller Of New York. But there
are other strong Republican possibii
