TENDER /, told States Attorney Will
liam A. Hustler today that he did
not consider himself unfrocked. by
the action of the recent Virginia
conference withdrawing his Gre
dentials. He said, however, he
would not perform any more mar
riage rites until the matter was
settled.
The Cumberland ministerial Union
which intended to sue out an in
junction against BIakney to prevent
his further functioning as a marry
ing clergyman, will not press the
matter. it was stated today, follow
ing Blakney's promise to refrain
from marrying until his official
status is known.
Blakney was not assigned by the
conference to any charge when 1t
met last year. The Rev. f. z.
Miller, was named as his successes
at the Second United Brethren
Church.
Blakney retained his residence in
Cumberland and while unattached
to any church continued to per-
form marriage ceremonies, getting
more couples which came here
largely from Pennsylvania than all
the other Cumberland clergymen
combined.
The second United Brethren
Church is to be closed because Of
poor support. it is said. The Rev.
z. E. Miller has been ordered to a
Roanoke church.

MINE RESCUE WORK


The telephone plays an important
part in mine rescue work. Robert M.
Lambie, Chief of the West Virginia
Department of Mines, pays high
tribute to men who installed and main
tanned telephones at EccleS mine dis

The Department of Mines is great

operation and highly efficient service
at Eccles, as well as Benwood, Bar
rackville and Pennington mine dis
asters," says Mr.. Lambie. "0nly those
who know the horror and danger of
work connected with explosions and
mine fires can appreciate what such
service means"
The explosion at the Eccles mine
had greatly damaged the shaft and
destroyed all telephones and signal
service underground. Eddie Stromp,
Beckley manager Of the telephone COM
pany, and linemen from that Office ar
rived on the ground with load Of tele-
phones and equipment soon after the
explosion occurred, and Immediately
started the installation of telephones
at all points necessary for emergency
and relief service"
A telephone was installed on the
cage and four of the rescue party, in

the shaft.
Telephone service played a very
important part in the rescue of the
ten men who had baracaded them

COW ON TEST
SHOWS NEED OF
SUMMER GRAIN

For several years dairy authori-
ties have EXPRESSED the opinion that
cow owners could not rely on pas
ture alone for milk and make money
in the long run by doing it. So far,
however, this has been largely the
DRY, and it is only very recently that
real evidence has been obtained to
settle the question.
For two whole years several cows
have been under observation at
the Larro Research Farm, BEDFORD,
Michigan, where the comparative
value of grain and pasture was test
ed out to their complete satisfaction.
The record of cow No. 76 during
1924 and 1926 is typical of the re-
suits obtained. She is. an ordinary
grade Holstein, pretty good pro-
Queer and as good cow as -could
have been chosen for such an ex-
pertinent.
Throughout her whole lactation in
1924, this COW was kept on grain
ration, with absolutely no pasture.
She produced as high as SO lbs. per
day, and kept up a good, even milk
flow, averaging 81 lbs. per day
throughout the milking period.
Towards the end of the 1924 lac
tation, COW No. 76 showed an entire
ly normal decline in milk produc-
ton. She was in splendid condi-
ton as the result of her year-round
grain ration, and gave evidence Of
this fact by starting off her 1925
lactation by producing up to AZ lbs.
Of milk per days lbs. higher than
her performance in the preceding
year.
On May 16, 1925, this COW went
on pasture. For ten days her milk
production moved up but after the
first stimulus Of the grass tonic
wore of, she fell steadily in milk as
her grain ration was reduced. Y
Two months after she went on
pasture, when she was getting only
2 lbs. of grain per day, she had
fallen from 40 lbs. Of milk per day
to 221s lbs. This was true though
pasture was plentiful and good. She
simply was ! not getting sufficient
nourishment of the right kind, and
her milk yield was cut practically
in half.
The production continued to drop
of until the 2S0th day, when she
was producing only 10 lbs. daily,
as against 25 lbs. daily in the
previous lactation at the same time.
No dairyman could ask for more
convincing proof that reliance on
grass alone ia costly, and that a reg
ular grain ration, with pasture
throughout the summer, pays real
dividends in milk production.

Economy and Efficiency Of Feeding.

A study of the two columns Of fig
ures shows that there was only q
small difference In the average capital
invested In the two groups Of farms.
More intensive farming was practiced
by the farmers in Group they had
more livestock and more cows per
farmer, per acre and per man. Their
enterprises made possible more hours
of productive work per farm.
A further study of the figures shows
that the farms in Group l produced
more efficiently than did those In
Group Q. The Group farms produced
larger crop yields-122e6 against 99eb,
basing 1000 as an average. Group ]
farms produced more butterfat per
cow-249 pounds per cow as against
POT pounds. Or. to put 1t in terms of
milk, approximately lila pounds per
COW as against 5,914 pounds.
That brings us to the points Of the
lesson worth mailing down. These
points are as follows:
~ The intelligent, efficient feeding

grain ration-practiced on Group !
farms, returned 1925 for every 800
worth of feed fed dairy cattle. (2) On
the other farms only about half as
much, or to be exact. only $118 was
returned out of every 500 worth of
feed. (3) On one group of farms the
crops of Sc acres plus purchased con-
centrates show yearly labor income
Of $1,423-primarily because more In
telligent feeding resulted in receipts
of 1925 from over 500 worth Of rough
age, farm-grown grains and pur-
chased concentrates (4) The other
group cleared only 500 labor income
for IL months hard work, and had
receipts of only $118 from every 500

recommended by doctors not only be-
cause Of it's high mineral content but
for the reasons that it helps keep the
digestive tract in proper condition,
strengthens the body to resist disease,
and gives proper balance to the diet.
Salads also play an important part
in the dietary. Some sort Of salad,
lettuce, tomato, fresh fruit, cabbage
or vegetable, should be. eaten at least
once a day. Neither is the daily
