DAMAGES ORPHANAGE

Damage to the extent of about
100000 was inflicted on the Chris
tian Home Orphanage at Council
Bluffs, Iowa, by floods from excessive
rains and cloudbursts on the nights
of September 2S and 20. Every
building at this great institution
was damaged, the heating, lighting
and power plants rendered useless
for several days, and the store rooms
in the easements of the buildings
were flooded, and thousands of dol
lars worth of supplies ruined. This
is the worst catastrophe that has
ever befallen this work, and comes
as a serious blow when the institu-
tion was already struggling to free
itself of debt. This institution is
non-sectarian, receives orphan and
destitute children from all parts of
the country and is supported entirely
by the voluntary contributions of
charitable people. It is appealing

WHY NOT A MILEP0ST IN ALL
TOWNS?

The Zero Milstone, located just be-
hind the White House at Washing
ton, on meridian of longitude zero,
dedicated to the nation and accepted
by President Harding, is the starting
point for road measurement east,
west, north, south of the capital of
the nation.
1t is forty miles to Baltimore. It
is also forty-five miles to Baltimore,
depending on the part of Baltimore
to which one measures! 1t may be
two hundred and fifty-three or two
hundred and sixty-seven miles to
New York, according as one measures
to the Battery or somewhere up
above Harleml
1t is AS miles from Mountain Home
to Boise. 1t is also As miles to Boise,
depending upon which happens to be
your favorite sign post.
Every town in America ought to
have milestone, to which road dis
tances from other towns could be
measured, and from which distances
would be computed II an error of
one mile was made in estimating dis
tances between town and town,
across the continent, the motor
traveller might easily be several hun
dred miles out of his calculations!
A town milestone costs little. 1t
can easily be financed by the local
civic or commercial club. Its place
ment and use will foster civic pride,
encourage tourist travel, and be an
everlasting convenience to all who
use it. A little research will compute
its exact distance from the zero mile
stone at Washington, still further
adding to its interest.
From a commercial standpoint an
official milestone would be of serv-
ice in giving readers of advertise
ments of real estate, for example,
definite information. A farm may |
be advertised as being six miles dis
tant from Mountain Home. With
the adoption of an official milestone
by Mountain Home. the reader would
know that the distance is six miles

AGE FOR BREEDING HEIFERS
Safe Rule to Follow Is to Wait Until
Animals Are at Least Seven
teen Months Old.

It is a recognized method among
the best dairymen that crowdlng heif-
ers to breeding season never makes
them as strong and is apt TO lower
their production later. Breeding them
too young, say at twelve to fourteen
months of age, often gives trouble at
calving time; they are usually smaller
and not so strong as more mature
heifers, and seldom have as good
records.
Heifers that are well fed at the
start may be bred earlier than those
which have but little feed besides
pasture. safe rule to follow is to
wait for breeding until they are at
least seventeen months old, and later
If they are not well grown.

DAIRY
FACTS
TIMOTHY HAY NOT GOOD FEED
Animal Husbandry Men at New York
State College Point out Superb
GRITTY of Legumes.

If you want to increase the cost
of producing milk, feed timothy hay
to your dairy.
This is the way the animal hus-
bandry men at the New York state
college of agriculture are pointing
out to the farmers of the state the
superiority of legume hay over the
non-legumes, such as timothy, for feed
Ing.
They tell of an experiment which
showed this clearly. Two lots of cows
received identical rations aside from
the hay feed. The groups were al
ternately fed either ten pounds Of
alfalfa hay or ten pounds of timothy
hay. The result indicated that the
alfalfa ration produced II per cent
more milk.
For dairy cows. clover and alfalfa
have practically the same value. AL
falfa sharpens the appetite and gives
greater gains in weight, but excessive
feeding without sufficient variety may
overstimulate the kidneys.
Legume hays are good substitutes
for concentrates i'm the ration. With
all factors equal as to cows, feeds,
nutritive ratio, and the like, milk
production has been fully sustained in
some tests by substituting eight pounds
of alfalfa hay for eight pounds of
wheat bran. Good soy bean hay can
be used in the same way. With wheat
bran or other concentrates at S45
a ton and alfalfa and clover at $50,
what this means in cheapening ra-
lions the college thinks is apparent.
