DAIRY COW NEEDS REST

tension Service. The good dairy COW
is one Of the hardest working animals
on the farm in that her system is Sc
verely taxed IN converting hay, grass
and grains into milk and butterfat and
is certainly entitled to an annual rest
period. Many high producers, II not
carefully fed are In a thin, nnfhrIfty
condition at the close Of their lactation
period. Such animals WIN not produce
the maximum amount OF milk after
freshening again If they are not given
a dry period in which they may build
up their body reserve.
Experiments show that the good COW
will produce enough more milk follow
Ing six TO ten weeks dry period TO,
pay for the feed and care given her
while she Is not milking.
The cow utillxes the feed she re-
eelves, over and above what is needed
TO maintain her body, either to in
crease body weight or to manufacture
milk, The good dairy COW does little
of the former when In milk II fed a
good dairy ration Therefore, the first
step in drying up persistent mixer
is to put her on dry. starchy feeds such
as timothy hay, cereal hays and corn
fodder. Feeds rich In protein and the
green forage stimulate milk flow and
should be avoided when the COW Is diff |
ficult to dry off. Leaving little milk
in each quarter also tends to reduce
the milk flow. When the flow has
been reduced to 20 to 25 pounds per
day, milking once IN "a hours WIN be
sufficient Later as the milk flow is
further reduced the period between
should be heightened.

The Power of Advertising

The more one reads the newspapers
and magazines Of the present day,
the more one must be impressed by
the great and growing power of ad-
vertising. The. advertising patronage
of leading periodicals is something
enormous. Former generous adver-
tisers are doubling and quadrupling
their space, and people who never
used publicity before are employing
it largely 1t must be getting great
results, or the enormous growth it
has developed since the war could
not have been achieved.
The conviction has become very
general among business men, that a
modern business needs a very active
campaign of sales promotion in order
to achieve anything like satisfactory
results.
AS the ordinary retail store cannot
usually afford to send statesmen to
visit every home in its city and sur.
rounding country, retail merchants
are forced to depend principally OF
newspaper advertising Those that
are using it consistently are getting
big results, and are finding that they
are achieving gains beyond their ex.
pectations.
Some thoughts on recent develop
ments of advertising, its triumphs and
the reasons why it appeals so power
fully to the public, will be presented
in the next few issues OF the Inde.
pendent.
Every business man who is ambi
tious for bigger things and greater
successes ought to consider carefully
how he can make uuse of this mighty
force for increasing his results.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
AND PRINCIPLES OUTLINED

Madison Square Garden, New York,
national platform as drawn by the
committee on resolutions and submit
ted to the convention today for rati-
fication, follows:
1--WE, the representatives of the
Democratic party, in national G)nven-
ton assembled, pay our profound hom-
age to the memory of Woodrow Will
son. Our hearts are filled with graft
! tude that American democracy should
have produced this man, whose spirit
and influence will live on through the
ages; and that it was OUR privilege to
have co-operated with him in the ad-
vancement of ideals of government
which will serve as an example for
generations. We affirm our abiding
faith in those ideals, and pledge our
selves to take up the standards which
he bore, and to strive for the full
triumph of the principles of democracy
to which he dedicated his life.
Democratic Principles
"The Democratic party believes in
equal rights to all and special privilege
to none The Republican holds that
special privileges are essentional to
national prosperity. 1t believes that
national prosperity must originate
with the special interests and seep
down through the channels of trade
to the less favored industries to the
wage earners and small salaried en-
ployees. 1t has accordingly enthron-
ed privilege and nurtured selfishness.
The Republican party is concerned
chiefly with material things; the
Democratic party is concerned chiefly
with human rights. The masses,
burdened by discriminating laws and
unjust administration, are demanding
relief. The favored special interests,
represented by the Republican party,
contented with their unjust privileges
are demanding that no change be
made
"Comparison of Parties
I'VE urge the American people to
compare the record of eight unsullied
years of Democratic administration
with that of the Republican admins
tration In the former there was no
corruption. Party pledges were faith
fully fulfilled and a Democratic Con-
gress enacted an extraordinary num-
ber of constructive and remedial laws.

quickened. Tariff taxes Were re-
duced A federal farm loan system

was passed. Eight hour laws were
adopted. A secretary of labor was
given a seat in the cabinet Of the

passed. Freeing American labor and

improvement of agricultural conditions
was effected A corrupt practice act
act was adopted. A well considered
warehouse act was passed. Federal
employment bureaus were created
farm loan banks were organized and
the federal reserve system was es
tablished. Privilege was uprooted. A
corrupt lobby was driven from the ma
tional capitol. A higher sense of in
dividual and national duty was
aroused. America enjoyed an unpTe
cedented period of social and material
prosperity.

between the Inauguration of a Demo
