ECONOMICAL. FEED FOR cows
Quantity Of Grain Required by AMI
NAL Depends on Her Size and
Milk Capacity.

Slage fodder, shredded stover or
sudan and mlllet hay may be depend
ed upon for supplying carbohydrate
roughness. The quantity Of grain the
COW requires depends upon her size
and capacity as a milk producer. The
most economical feeding results when
cows are fed as individuals. 1t isn't
always possible to do. this on the busy
farm; but sufficient attention may be
given each animal to see that she re-
ceives the right proportion Of feed for
maintaining her. milk flow.

SELECT BEST ORCHARD SITE
Most important Factor to Be Con-
sldered Is SubsolI az Trees
Are Deep Rooted.

BY an orchard site Is meant the
exact location Of the orchard on the
farm. Location In general does not
interest the farmer since he has his
farm, but the thing which interests
him is, where on the farm Is the
best place to set the trees?"
@One of the most important factors
to be considered Is the sub-soil, says
d. O. MoOrlng, extension horticul-
turist Of the Oklahoma A. and M. col
lege A free is a deep-rOoted plant
under favorable conditions, but under
adverse subsoil conditions, the trees
may be shallow rooted and con-
sequently short lived. Most Of us
recall that during the past few years
during the dry years, many orchards,
forests, and lot trees have died. When
they were grubbed out 1t was rather
surprising to see many trees 10 to 10
inches In diameter whose root sys-
TENS were confined almost entirely to
stratum Of soil not more than Il
to 16 inches deep. Thus II Is readily
seen why they were killed by drought,
and the Importance of an open porous
subsOil is readily suggested. Where
tree Is planted In a soil with an
open porous subsoil the tree roots
will not suffer nearly so much for
lack of moisture and food.
The subsoil may vary on a compara-
lively small farm. hence the I'm
portance Of digging down with spade
or. better and easier, bore down into
the subsoil with an old wornout
wood auger on the handle of which
has been welded a piece Of iron or q
piece Of pipe.
No doubt many have noticed In pass

that the valley is much cooler. than the

sloping ground or the hill. This Is
due to cold air being heavier than
warm air and consequently having
settled in the valley. Therefore, frost
is more apt to be formed In the valley
than on upland. So, in selecting an
orchard site, avoid the valleys.
In case of variation Of surface OF
top soils, plant the stone fruits suck
as peaches, plums and apricots. on the
light soil and plant the pome fruits
such as apples, pears, etc.. on the
heavier soil, giving peaches the prefer.
ence of the lightest and pears of the
heaviest soils.
Since 1t very frequently happens
that the women take part In the
harvesting Of the fruit at irregular
times In order to prepare It for meals,
1t Is important to have the orchard
near the house. Another reason which
might be advantageous Is that the
orchard could be better watched. In
case Of planting trees on city lota
avoid planting too close to the side
Of the house on the north side. Too
much shade has tendency to cause
the trees to grow tall and slender.

GREAT FEED VALUE OF PEAS

would be large factor in determining
this question.
There are now several cows on this
farm that have records made on rough.
oge alone. One made ATT pounds of
butterfat in $50 days, and promises to
have q record Of 400 pounds at the
end of her year, which will be within
40 pounds Of the record made the year
before when grain was fed. Another
COW In the herd made 345 pounds Of
bntterfat in PAS days without grain,
and still another 1915 pounds In 120
days. 1t Is now planned to try some
OF them on moderate grain rations to
make comparisons of the amounts Of
nutrients required to make butterfat
and milk under all conditions.
Later and more complete figures on
additional cows will show the effect
on production Of three plans of nu.
tririon-no grain ration, light grain
ration, and heavy grain ration. The
relative prices of milk, butteri'at, and
feed will then determine the method
OF feeding most profitable for a given
section.

FOR YOUNG LAMB
When Chilled II May Be Revived by
lnmersing In Warm Water, Then
Give Nourlshment.

A young lamb that has become
chilled and Is presumably ready to die
may be revived by immersing it In
warm water-as warm as Is comfort
able to the hand-and gradually in.
creasing the heat little at time, by
adding more warm water.
When II revives sufficiently, dry II
well, wrap in woolen cloth and la.
In a warm place. 1t will probabl!

that the lamb gets nourishment.

Thomas Dunn English. be-
ginning with the touching lines;
Don't you remember sweet Alice,
Ben Bolt,
Sweet Alice. whose hair was so

Few know the incidents competed
with its composition and which helped
to make 1t famous.
DR.. English was born in 1919 and
spent most of his life as practicing
physician in New Jersey, surviving
until April, 1902. The poem upon
which his fame rests was written for
y. T. Willis in 1s43 and first pub
Iished in the New York Mirror in
that year.
It was set to music by strolling
player. H. B. Kneass. the air being
enc used in an old German song. It

sung in all parts Of the world, but
from the song DIR. English never re-

AS Fred re-entered the hall Winnie
Keep was coming down the stairs to-
ward him. She had changed to one
of the prettiest evening gowns of her
trousseau and so outra geously lovely
was the combination of herself and
the gown that her husbands excite
ment and anxiety fell from him and
he was lost in admiration. But he
was not for long lost. To his horror,
the door of the coat closet opened
toward his wife and out of the closet
the stranger emerged Winnie, not
accustomed to seeing young men
suddenly appear from among the
dustcoats, uttered a sharp shrek.
With what he considered great
presence of mind Fred swung upon
the visitor.
Did you fix it?" he demanded.
The visitor did not heed him. In
amazement In abject admiration, his
eyes were fastened upon the beauti-
full and radiant vision presented by
Winnie Keep. But he also still pre-
served sufficient presence of mind to
nod his head DULY.
Come" commanded Fred. THE
car is waiting"
Still the stranger did not move.
As though he had never before seen
a woman, as though her dazzling
loveliness held him in trance, he
stood still. gazing, gaping. devouring
Winnie with his eyes. In her turn,
Winnie beheld a strange youth who
looked like a groom out of livery, so
overcome by her mere presence as to

He seemed little convinced of the
truth of his own statement. 1t was
az though a stage manager had
drilled him in the lines.
But upon Winnie, as her husband
saw to his dismay. the words pro-
duced an instant and appalling effect
She fairly radiated excitement and
