five miles south of Edgar, owned by
J. II. Jenkins. Athens, was burned to
the ground when fire broke out in the
boiler room, the entire stock of cheese
being destroyed. The loss is placed at
approximately 400 The factory was
practically the only immediate market

Water Supply for Dairy
Cows of Big Importance

The mich COW, of all animals, re-
quires an abundance Of pure water.
Water constitutes more than three
fourths Of the raw material used by
the COW in the manufacture Of milk.
Stale or impure water is so distaste-
full to her that she will not drink a
sufficient quantity for maximum milk
production. Furthermore impure wa
ter may impair the health of the COW,
The water supply, therefore, demands
the dairyman's most careful attention.
During the winter, when cows are
stabbed the greater part Of the time,
it is important that they be watered
at least two or three times day un-
less water is kept before them con-
stantly. 1t is advisable to supply wa
ter to cows at uniform temperature,
preferably Is to 20 degrees above the
freezing point. When water stands In
a tank on which ice often forms, 1t
usually pays well to warm 1t slightly.
This can be done by tank heater, by
live steam, or by hot water from a
boiler. If a broiler Is used for rum
ming a separator or for heating water
to wash and sterilize utensils, steam
from it can readily and cheaply be
used to warm the water.

IMMATURE CORN IS
GOOD FOR SLIDING

Weather conditions such as hail,
drought, or frost sometimes prevent
corn from reaching maturity. Under
such circumstances the crop should
be sliced, according to the United
States Department Of Agriculture. Such
corn should, II possible, be dloed with
some that is mature Silage from I'M
mature corn Is sourer and more laxa-
tive than that from the mature crop.
However, II proper care is exercised
In feeding such silage, no Ill effects
should result.
If frosted corn Is cut promptly, the
stalks may contain enough water 80
that 1t may be sliced without the addi-
ton of water. If the corn has become
too dry to pack well, considerable
water will have to be added when
SLIDING. The frosting Of corn causes
only small loss in feeding value, the
greatest loss being occasioned by the
falling of Of leaves In handling and
the possible spelling Of part Of the
silage owing to it's failure to pack and
keep properly.
Sometimes there Is delay In filling
the silo, and 1t is necessary to cut and
shock the corn. Then again on other
farms the silo capacity will not take
care Of the entire crop at one filling.
This surplus corn has to be shocked
and is available for refilling the silo
later on. Such dry corn fodder may
be sliced successfully, but 1t Is neces-
sary to wet it thoroughly 80 that 1t
will pack well In the silo. Water may
be added by allowing stream from a
hose to flow into the blower while fill
Ing. The surface Of the cut material
should also be sprinkled as 1t is dis
tributed in the silo. Corn fodder Sill
age Is less palatable and Of somewhat
lower value than corn sliced under
the usual conditions. Owing to the
large quantity Of water required, silo-
ing corn fodder Is advisable only on
farms having a water system.

Barley Is Nearly Equal
to Corn for Dairy Cows

Barley is good feed for dairy cows
and nearly equal to corn Some feed
ers hold it is quite equal to corn If 1t
does not constitute more than go per
cent Of the meal portion Of the ration.
Corn Is very good feed. 1t Is low in
lime. a little heavy, and for this rea-
son should be lightened with some feed
like bran and fed with some legume
hay like clover or alfalfa for the pur-
pose Of supplying an adequate guam
tity of mineral substance. Bran is a
good feed to use with either barley or
corn, or both, because 1t is bulky, has
slight laxative effect, and lightens
the mixture. 1t lacks lime but 1t Is
rich in phosphorus.

Another tells of the discovery OF q

the pest by a prisoner in the Atlanta

A third is that the chemical warfare
service of the United States army has
been turned loose on the boil weevil
with orders to find some poison that
will put it out of business for all time.
Probably one reason for the persist
ent throwing of the limelight on the
boil weevil is the fact that cotton Is
one of our big crops. Some years 1t

dangerous that only by eternal vigi-

human race be able to survive.

George Washington did to them at
Irenton-and the fly they brought in
their straw packing has since de-
stroyed enough of our wheat to pay
the German war debt.
There has been a succession of these
imported pests ever since. So now
