Avoid TaintS in
Milk by Feeding
Tests Show That Green AL
falfa Produces More ''Off"
0dors Than Does Corn.

prepared by the United states Department
OF Agriculture)
Undesirable favors and odors In
milk produced ~ feeding green alfal-
IA, green corn, or tlIrnips may be pre-
vented by giving these feeds at the
proper time or they may be reduced
BY thorough aeration Of the milk,
These conclusions have been reached
BY the United States Department Of
Agriculture after extensive tests In
which experienced milk judges who
had no knowledge of the samples gave
their opinions about the quality of
the milk. The results of the tests of
green alfalfa and green corn have
been published in Department Bulle-
tin 1880. Effect of Feeding Green Al
faifa and Green Corn on Flavor and
Odor of Milk. by C. ]. Babcock. The
results Of the Investigations on tur-
nips have been published in Depart
ment Bulletin 1908, Effect Of Feeding
Turnips on the Flavor and Odor of
Milk. by the same author.
Alfalfa Produces Flavor.
1t Is shown that green alfalfa pro-
duees much more pronounced or
havors and odors than does green
corn. Even when % pounds of green
corn is fed one hour before milking
the milk is only slightly tainted, prob
ably not to a sufficient extent to be
detected by the average consumer; If
fed after milking nothing undesirable
is noticeable. Feeding so pounds OF
green alfalfa one hour before milk
ing, or as little as Is pounds, pro-
duced Objectionable fiavors and odors
Increasing the time to three hours re-
duced the intensity but did not elimi-
nate the taints. However, when the
time before milking was increased to
i've hours the of fiavors and odors
were practically eliminated 1t was
found also that 80 pounds could be fed
Immediately after milking without any
bad effects. The conclusion is that
green alfalfa as soiling crop should
be fed Immediately after milking, and
that when 1t is used as pasture the
cattle should be taken off four or five
hours before milking Aeration will
help 10 remove slight off odors and
fiavors., Green corn, at least up to
Is pounds at a feed, may be fed at
any time.
Root Crops Not Blamed.
In some regions root crops are used
to supply succulence in the fall and
winter. and among these crops tur-
nips are one of the most commonly
grown. They have long been sus-
pected of being responsible for off flaw
ors and odors in milk, and the depart
ment's investigation has shown that
the dairymen were right about it,
Feeding Is pounds Of turnips an hour
before milking produced taints, and in
creasing the quantity fed to 80 pounds
greatly intensified them BY feeding
even the maximum quantity just after
milking practically all the objection
able flavors and odors were avoided
As in the case of alfalfa, slight off
flavors and odors were removed and
strong ones reduced by aeration. The
taints were more noticeable in the
cream than in the milk

self-AppreeiatIon.

Humor and self-criticism, It has
often been pointed out, go together;
sense of humor Is an antidote for con-
ceit. Victor Hugo had no sense Of
humor, and the complacency with
which he looked back upon his career
arose from a conceit that was even
more colossal than his genius.
Late in life some of his friends were
talking with him and; of course, about
him. One said, Streets ought to be
named after him."
Another remarked, "Streets7 Paris
ought to change Its name and be called
Victor Hugo"
Another added scornfully. paris?
Paris, after such a great man? No. in.
deedl France ought to change Its name
and the whole country be called Victor
Hugo"
The great writer then lifted his
head and. with J,svisn dignity, spoke
In tones of quiet, solemn conviction.

Romans In England.

All OF the medieval styles Of English
architecture are found In the Canter-
bury cathedral. 1t is said to have its
origin In an edifice which was built
by Roman Christians. But Its authen-
tic history begins with the Norman
conquest.
1t has been buNt and rebuilt many
Dimes and has housed many relics.
There was brought the body Of the
martyr, Blasius, from Rome; there
were the relics of st. Wllfred, ST. Dun
stan and st. Elfege.
The northeast transept where
Thomas a Beckett was murdered is
called the Martyrdom.

cathedral carries on a considerable

asked: "Well, what do you think Of

Plow Legumes Under for
Building Up Fertility

Over $4,000 acres Of legumes were
plowed under for green manure in
1922 by farmers following. the advice
of agricultural extension workers on
methods Of building up soil fertility,
according to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture
Finding that the fields In which they
desired to plant Iegumes had acid soil,
some 1900 farmers in 1922 followed
agent to apply lime on these fields.
They used for this purpose, according
to reports to the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, about 627 900
tons Of lime or limestone.

If you expect the best results in
raising chicks, do not use pullet eggs.
Newly-hatched chicks should not
have any feed for SO hours after

A good concentrate or egg mash for
hens is suggested as follows: One

pounds meat scrap.

A sick hen may be faded like a good

Especially Worth While
to Save Supply of Corn

Prof. r. M. Green, marketing head
at the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege believes that 1t is especially
worth the farmers while TO conserve
corn. Cattle roughed through the win
ter and corn fed for the spring market
promise better. While cattle prices
may work TO slightly lower level
than last season, storage holdings of
beef are no more burdensome than
last year and production is in no wa,
as much overdone as In the case of
hogs.

PASCAL'S COUNTING MACHINE
Devices In use Today Are Based on
Game Principle az That Worked
Out by Frenchman.

The third centennial of the birth Of
Blaise Pascal, lone of the intellectual
SUBMITS Of humanity" was recently
celebrated in France. Pascal was an
admirable writer, penetrating philos-
opher. and marvellous scientist. He
died at the age Of thirty-nine.
Pascal Ii said to have been the first
man who ever made a counting ma
chine that would work perfectly and
accurately. 1t was then a very diff
fcult and complicated thing to count,
as the decimal monetary system had
not yet been invented.
Young Blaise undertook to keep his
fathers accounts. It was then that he
conceived the idea Of making a count
ing machine, says the Detroit News.
He worked on 1t ten years. As there
was no gear system In those days he
was obliged to make all his pieces
himself out Of tlocks Of metal. filing
them to the right shape and size. He
overcame all difficulties and obtained
a simple machine which made It pos
sible to make very complicated cal
culations. All counting machines used
today are based on this same prin-
ciple.

upon the registration officer to help
in this matter. DO NOT OVERLOOK
THIS. See that all blank spaces are
properly filled out.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES BIS:
If, after registering, the elector
moves to another county or precinct,
he or she must cancel such first reg
istration by signing Blank B, which
will issue in duplicate, the duplicate to
be delivered to the elector and the
original returned to office of the
County Recorder, and then re4regis-
ter such elector in the precinct where
he or she resides. A person must not
register more than once, without first
cancelling any prior registration. To
register more than once or to know
ingly register in any precinct where
he is not resident at the time of
registering, is a criminal offe1se and
subjects the offender to fine ina sum,
not to exceed two Thousand dollars or
to Imprisonment not to exceed three
years, or both. EVERYBODY MUST
REGISTER THIS YEAR if they wish
to vote at the primary election on
September 9th, or at the general elec>
tion on November 4th, 1924, or any
other election that may be held with
in the next two years. No registra-
ton of former years will suffice.
This office will make every reason
able effort to properly register all
legal voters before the primary cleo
ton. The public can aid materially
in our work by registering with some
registration officer as soon after May
9Th as possible. An amendment to the
registration laws made by the Legisla
ture of 1915, provides that the electol
when registering shall give his party
affiliation or say that he has none, if
such be the case. Any elector refus-
ing to give his party affiliation CAN
NOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.
This question in the registration
blank must be answered. The matter
of registration without giving party
affiliation does not affect the electo1
at the general election, but is an i'm
portant factor at the primary for Sc
lection of candidates for the general
election, for unless a party affiliation
is given, the elector will not be per-
mitted to vote for any candidate on
the regular printed primary ballots.
The registration officer should re-
member that the law requires each
elector to be sworn on registering,
and no change of party affiliation will
be permitted after elector has once
been registered.
Very truly yours,

County Recorder.
