Grain to Feed.
Inc amount of grain TO feed to
dniry Slres varies from four to ton
pounds, dep ending on the size and
condition of lhe animal and the kind
Of roughage. A grain mixture recon-
mended by the department as having
been used with success consists NJ
three parts grouud corn (by welrhn
two parts ground oats, two parts
wheat bran. anG one part lInsaad
meat Another mixture suggested
consists Of three parts ground oats
two parts wheat bran, one part ground
corn or barley, and one part linseed
meal.
Ground cats are considered espe-
cially valuable for bulls. Cottonseed
meal Is not usually regarded with
favor, especially when fed in large
amounts, Some breeders think II
causes inpotency.
ON scme farms the bulls are given
the spoiled or musty hay or waste feed
left by other animals. This is Door
practice. II Is just us necessary to
feed the bulls properly as the cows.
The legume hays-aIfalfa, clover,
Vetch, soy bean. cowpeas are excellent
roughage, and should be fed literally
If possible. If the nOn,leguminuus
roughages, such as timothy or prairie
hay. corn silage, stover, or fodder are
fed. a grain mixture higher in protein
should be used.
Use Of Silage.
Breeders differ rs to the advisable
tty of feeding silage. Some maintain
that a considerable amount of silage
Is likely to lessen the vigor of n bull
and make him sterile. Others feed
Silage in large Quantities and report
no undesirable results So far as ex-
perlmental work shows, it is probable
hat silage does not have any direct
effect on the breeding powers. Large
amounts of silage. or other extremely
bulky feeds, may have a tendency to
distend the paunCh so that the bull
becomes too heavy on his feet. From
10 to 10 pounds of silage a day with
other roughages can be fed safely
without impairing the usefulness of
the animal.
Dairy bulls should have plenty of
water This matter is often neglect
ed, especially when there is not a
constant supply in the stall or pen
and when the bull is difficult to
handle A bull should he watercd at
least once Il day during the winter
and twice day during the summer.

THE TROUBLE WITH JAPAN.

The immigration Law, excluding the
Japanese from this country, which law
will be effective in this particular July
1, 1926 has raised furore in Japan
and untold comment on this side of the
Pacific. The oncoming presidential
election has had much to do with the
outcome and if the matter could have
been delayed until after next NcVem'
Der, some way might have been found
to sooth the outraged feeling of the
host in Nippon. The issue is primarily
one of race and color,
1t is the opinion of the people on the
Pacific Coast that the Japanese can.
not be assimilated. That is to say that
intermarriage between the inhabitants
of Japan and the white residents u
this country is not desirable. 1t is this
color question that is stirring the upper
classes of Japanese to undisguised
anger. They simply demand the same
rights and privileges in this country
as are accorded to the citizens or SUD-
jects of the other Great Powers.
The incident will not lead directly to
war but future trouble along some
other lines will be accentuated by the
incident and rupture that might 9TH
erwiee be avoided may become certain
on account of our present attitude.
Moreover, it will tend to disturb our
trade relationship with Japan. 1t is
probable that the balance Of trade with
this country is in our favor at present,
but already a movement is on foot to
deal with other countries to the exclu.
sion of American products.
This is where "the shoe pinches" at
the present time and there is but little
doubt, but what the pain will increase
as the months go by. The end is Meth
er near nor nigh.

1t begins to look as though the Re

land is carrying the organization back
to its own landmarks, with the idea OF
having it start out on campaign of
great principles that will not only awak

patriotic spirit in the members of that
organization. Standing squarely upon
the principles of the Declaration of In
dependence and the Constitution of the
United States, the wandering about in
the wilderness of wild ideas and self
ish propagandas will soon be naught
but memory.
Many voters, who have left the party
will return and some who are in it for
special purposes will leave it. The out
