WATER FOR cows IN WINTER
II Possible Il Should Be IS or 20 De-
arees Above Freezlng-Steam
Boiler 10 Handy.

During the winter, when cows are
stabbed the greater part Of the time.
they should be watered two or three
times a day unless arrangements have
been made to keep water before them
at all times, says the United States
Department of Agriculture, in Farm
ers' Bulletin 743, 1.-The Feeding Of
Dairy Cows The water should If
possible be Is or 20 degrees above
irsr1ing, and should be supplied at
practically the same temperature ev-
cry day. When water well above freez-
ing temperature Is stored In tanks
and plped directly to the cow, there
is probably little occasion to warm 1t.
When It stands in a tank on which ice
often forms, 1t usually pays to warm
it slightly. This can be done by a
tank heater, by live steam or by hot
water from a boiler. II boiler Is
used for running separator or for
heating water to wash and sterilize
utensils, steam from it can readily and
cheaply be used to warm the drinking
water.

CHAPTER II

Ramsey Milholland sat miserably In
school, his conscious being consisting
principally of a dull hate. Torpor
was little dispersed during fifteen
minute interval of Music" when he
and all the other pupils in the large
room of the give B. Grade" sang re-
peatedly fractions Of what they enun-
ciated as "The Star Span-guh-hulled
Banner; but afterward he relapsed
into the low spirits and animosity nat
ural to anybody during enforced con-
finement under instruction. No allevia-
tion was accomplished by an invaders
temporary usurpation Of the teachers
platform, brisk and unsympathetical-
ly cheerful young woman mounting
thereon to "teach German"
For a long time mathematics and
German had been about equally re-
pulSive to Ramsey, who found himself
daily in the compulsory presence Of
both; but he was gradually coming to
regard German with the greater hor-
ror, because, after months of patient
mental resistance, he at last began to
comprehend that the German language
Hhas sixteen special and particular ways
of using the German article corre-
spending to that flexible bit of word
so easily managed in English-the.
What in the world was the use of
having sixteen ways Of doing thing
that could just as we'll be done in one?
If the Germans had contented them
selves with insisting upon sixteen USE
less variations for infrequent words,
such as hippopotamus, for instance,
Ramsey might have thought the affair
unreasonable hut not necessarily VI
cious-it would be easy enough to
avoid talking about a hippOpotamus
If he ever had to go to Germany. But
the fact that the Germans picked out
and the and many other little words
in use all the time, and gave every one
Of them sixteen forms, and expected
Ramsey Milholland to learn this dizzy
ing uSelesSnesS down to the last
crotchety detail, with "When to employ
Which" as nausea TO prepare for the
final convulsion when one didn't use
Which, because 1t was an Exception"
there was fashion Of making easy
matters hard that was merely hellish.
The teacher was strict but enthu-
siastic; she told the children, over and
over, that the German was beautiful
language, and her face always had
glow when she said this. At such
times the children looked patient; they
supposed 1t must be so, because she
was an adult and their teacher; and
they believed her with the same man.
ner Of believing which those of them
who went to Sunday school used there
when the Sunday school teachers were
pushed into explanation Of various
matters set forth in the Old TeSta-
ment. or gave reckless descriptions Of
heaven. That is to say, the children
did not challenge or deny; already
they had been driven into habits Of
resignation and were passing out Of
the age when childhood Is able to re-
ject adult nonsense.
Ramsey MilhOlland did not know
whether the English language was
beautiful or not; he never thought
about it. Moreover, though his deeper
inwardS hated German" he liked his
German teacher, and 1t was pleasant
| To look nj her when that glow came
upon her face.
