FEED COWS LIKE HOGS
To Make Dsirying Pay Prepare Pro.
 per Rations

If the dairyman fed his cows as the hog man feeds his pigs. there would be more money in daiHyiRg. according to the LarF9we Institute of Animal Economies.
 The hog man interested in getting his pigs Co marketable weight in the shortest time and with thc least ef- fort and expense has tried ration af- ter ration for his pigs until he is now pretty close to the best ration for ae- complaining the result he Is alter. the Institute states. For the hog man. the proof of the feed ls in the feeding Contrast this attitude with the atti- tude of the dairyman Instead of ind ing out what a given ration will do with his own cows in his own barns. the dairyman has continued to make up his ration on the test-tuhe theory of chemical analysis, which has little to do with the amount of milk the COW will give. The dairyman tests out gas cline in his own car, but he feeds his cows on the ration arrived at with pencil and paper. Is 1t any wonder that under the standards of our pres ent knowledge the average COW in view of her possibilities Is not as good as the average hog?
 While the stomach of the COW is the only true guide on what given ration will do for that COW, there are certain characteristic clements that every good dairy ration possesses, ae- eording to the Institute. In the first place, the ration should contain a va riety of foods. It should be bulky, and it should be palatable. But in the se- lection of his ration the dairyman who usNes his own feed Is at q disadvan- tage te the aairyman using ready mixed ration. There is a wide range of difference in the analysis of the in- gredients or even different lots of the same ingredients that go into the mak- ing of a dairy ration, and it's not un- common for the same dairyman's mix ture to work out well one week and be a failure the next On the other hand. the commercial feed maker through actual tests with cows and the use of chemical and mechanical means to an alyze and mix the many ingredients that go into their feed, are able to make a ration that is standardized and uniform and which will give similar results under like conditions"

CLIMBS CAPITOL STEPS
Tive milIion.h Chevrolet Gives Public
 Performance

The two millionth Chevrolet pro- duced by the Chevrolet Motor Com pany. recently climbed the steps of the new state capitol building at Jackson, Mississippi. while members of the ad- journing state legislature viewed the performance.
 A heavy rain preceding the event made that climb at a forty-tive degree angie, hazardous, but failed to scatter a crowd of more than 7,OOO which waited throughout the downpour. Burned patches of rubber on the steps marked the progress of the coach up the steep incline, indicating the power necessary to make the ascent.
 The climb had been negotiated only once before, and several powerful types of cars recently failed to arrive al the top.
 Many members of the legislature, Themselves Chevrolet owners, greeted C. Porter Dukes, service manager of the Capitol Chevrolet Company, local distributors, as he reached the summit of the capitol entrance. Several ofna- mental stone pylons on the ascent caused the car to proceed slowly and added 10 the difficulty of the feat.
 After once making the climb, the car backed down, demonstrating the holding power of it's brakes, and then repeated the demonstration. The ear was a regular stock model. and be- cause of it's being the 2,000, ,0O0th Chevrolet produced, had been shipped to various cities of the county for ex- hihition. The Capitol Chevrolet Com psny planned the stunt as final showing of the ear before selling 1t to . resident of Jackson.
 A parade of several hundred Chev- role, automobiles. driven by their own CTS and headed by the mounted police diyisicn of Jackson and the demon strating ear, preceded the exhibition at the capitol, Mayor Scott, City Commissioner Hawkins and R. F. Hicks, assistant Chevrolet zone sales manager, gave brief talks on compile tion of the ascent.
