TWELVE HINTS ON
CARE OF MILK cow
SOME VALUABLE INFORMA-
TON THAT SHOULD BE OF
INTEREST TO FARMERS.

The following twelve hints from
Prof. F. w. Fitch are valuable. Cut
the article out and paste it up where
you can read it occasionally:
l. A good dairy COW is sensitive and
highly temperamental. Be gentle to
her. Do not run her with dogs or
beat her with stick, if you wish to
get good returns from her.
2. Keep a record sheet and milk
scales in the barn. Know the produc-
ton of each cow so that you can feed
her intelligently.
3. Feed balanced ration containing
as many home grown feeds as posi-
bic. Feed each cow in the head sep
arate1y and in proportion to the
amont of milk she gives.
A. Pure water is cheap. Milk is
more than 81 per cent water, which
makes it most important to provide
a constant supply OF Clean fresh wa
ter
5. If you have ten or more cows
you should have silo. If you have
only five cows a good cream separa-
tor will pay for itself in one year with
the increased profit.
E. A dairy COW makes the largest re-
turns over cost of feed when on good
pasture. That is natures balanced ra-
ton. Plant a good permanent pasture.
7. Grow legume hay crops. They
increase the milk flow and are soil
builders. Clovers. alfalfa vetcf cow
peas, velvet beans and soy beans are
iegu1nes which make good roughage
for dairy cows.
8. Plant some cover crops for late
fall and early spring. They increase
the milk flow at the season when dairy
products bring the best price. They
protect the soil from washing.
9. Save all the manure possible, it
is very valuable. Use bedding in the
barns to soak up the liquid manure.
10. A concrete floor in the dairy
barn is easily kept clean and sanitary.
II. Feed one pound of grain day
for each or 81 pounds of milk pro-
duced.
II. Feed all roughage the cows will
clean up. A 1,000-pound cow giving
four gallons of milk should have at
least ten pounds of grain, fifteen
pounds of some good legume hay and
thirty pounds of silage or other sue
culent feed.

The home is maintained exclusive

Not an Institution.
There are no solicitors for the

That is why no more than SO chill

felt that the institution air would soon
appear if more than that number were
cared for. As it is now it is a home,
where birthdays, holidays and gala

U. ). War Army IN European Service
Will Dwindle Low by 1925.
Men who shared with Gen. Pershing
the great adventure in France are
passing off the stage as Americas de-
tenders. Official charts show that their
places are already being taken by the
younger brothers of the "a. E. F."
Tomorrow it will be their sons who
stand ready to fight for the flag.
The charts show that of more than
100000 men discharged from the
wartime army up until Jan. l, 1920,
there will be available for actual fight
ing service in 1925 little more than
100000 veterans. By 1880, a decade
after their discharge in the prime of
their fighting power, only $4,000 will
again be able to shoulder a rifle.
By age groups the veterans more
than 80 years old in 1918 will cease to
exist, for military service, by 1925;
and of more than $4,000 in the So
year class some 10000 may be ready
for a call. By 1880 those between %
and 80 years old will have vanished
from military charts.
By 1910 the youngsters who were
% years old when 1918 brought them
to the colors will show a bare $4,000
still ready for call.

theirs are bright instead. The brill
