(COntributeti) Pretty dull and dreary, Lonesome here today. House is kind of eery, Every one away. Not so very choice is Just a-sitting round Listening for their voices, Hearing not a sound. Sitting round and waiting, Feeling left behind. Sort of meditating
 Things that come to mind; Yes it's kind of dreary, Everybody gone. Still. must be cheery. I must carry on.

Live Stock SQuibs


Silage can be fed to every class of
live stock, but for dairy cows 1t is
well nigh Indispensable.

Net use the self-feeders right through

The common mixture of oats and

Pigs will do well on corn alone, for
while, and then they stop growing

clements and needs to be balanced
with feeds like milk, buttermilk, tank

POORLY FED COWS
NOT PROFITABLE

Milk yields of many poorly fed cows
could be increased a. much as 90 per
cent through improved feeding, says
Dr. w. B. Nevens, assistant chief Id
dairy cattle feeding at the college OF
agriculture, University Of Illinois. In
a few cases the yield has been nearly
doubled, he said.
when the milk yield OF COW or
herd is increased through better feed
Ing, tho profits climb much more rap
idly than the cost Of the extra feed.
In fact, many nonpaying herds have
been put on profitable basis simply
through more liberal feeding Of ra-
ton better suited to milk production.
Investigations by the college OF az
riculture, University of Illinois, have
shown that cows producing 10000
pounds (1.160 gallons) of milk, or
more, annually used only 42 pounds
of digestible matter for each 100
pounds of milk, while cows yielding
only half that amount did so at a feed
cost of 0ne-third more for each 1OO
pounds of milk Some cows were
found which gave only 1900 pounds
(35O gallons) or less year. These
cows required one and tYo-thirds as
much feed for each unit quantity OF
milk as the highest producing cows.
The greater the production, the great
er the efficiency with which feed is
used for milk. for the amounts Of feed
needed to maintain the animal remain
about constant. Some of the best
cows use two-thirds of their feed for
milk, while the poorest may use only
one-third or less.
"The ability of the cows to produce
milk is a matter deserving as much
attention as the feed. Improved
feeding, however, may bring immedi-
ate profits, while raising better cows
requires several years"

Overfeeding Is Common
Error in Handling Calf

"Overfeeding," says G. Fl. Eckles,
chief Of the dairy husbandry division
of the Minnesota College Of Agricul-
ture, 'ls probably the most common
cause of lack Of success In raising
calves. 1t is mistake to assume that
because the cream has been removed
the calf needs more milk or that be-
cause the calf is not doing well 1t is
not getting enough milk and should
be allowed to gorge itself A good
rule is always to keep the calf little
hungry. Some provision must be
made for making certain that each
animal gets its share and no more. A
satisfactory plan is to tie the calves
In small stanchions during the feed
ing. Each calf then gets its proper
amount and cannot interfere with the
feeding Of others.
Under natural conditions, the calf
takes its milk frequently and In small
quantities. When fed by, hand, two
feedings a day Is the general practice
and special care must be taken not to
allow the calf to consume more milk
than 1t can digest. For the first two
weeks ten to twelve pounds a day is
all that the largest calf should receive.
II it can be done without too much
inconvenience, the calf at this age
should be fed three times rather than
twice daily.
"As the calf grows older, twice-a-
day feelings are sufficient and the
milk may be increased, but at no time
is 1t necessary to feed more than six
teen or eighteen pounds daily. By the
time the calf needs more than this
amount, 1t will take the additional
feed necessary In the form Of grain"

Advantages in Having
Lambs in Late Winter

There are advantages In having
ewes drop their lambs In January and
February. Lambs coming at this time
of the year will be big enough when
turned on pasture to make good gains
on grass and can be ready to market
In May or June. The market price for
lambs is usually good. early in the
summer before any great number of
lambs are being shipped In from the
range states. Early lambs which are
of good size when they 20 to pasture
also are better able to resist stomach
worms and can be marketed before
there Is much loss from this pest.

THE POOR NUT"
At VIRGINIA.

"The Poor Nut" heralded as the
greatest of all college comedies will be
the attraction at the Virginia High
School Auditorium on Monday even
ing May 7. The play comes to Vir-
ginia direct from the Cort Theatre at
Chicago where it has a successful run
of twenty weeks. 1t is being presented
by the Virginia Study Club for the
benefit of the Student Loan Fund. 1t
enjoyed sensational success in New
York for AZ weeks in Boston for 10
weeks, Philadelphia for 8 weeks and
in Chicago for 20 weeks.
Patterson McNutt produced it,
mounting the play handsomely, and
staging the famous stadium scene,
which stumped other Broadway man
ayers, so realistically that it has been
the talk of critics and playgoers alike
wherever the comedy has been pre-
sented.
Elliott Nugent, an Ohio State alum
nus, is co-author of the play with his
father, j. c. Nugent. Other plays by
the Nugents include 'Kempy", "The
Rising Sun" and Gunpowder'
The play is presented on tour by
Better Plays Extension, a dramatic
organization sponsored by John Gold
en-, David Belasco, David Warfield,
Wilton Lackaye, Augustus Thomas,
and other noted men and women of
the theatre.
1.-The Poor Nut" deals with the roll
licking adventures of John Miller, an
Ohio State junior, who would rather
earn $1,000 yearly as professor of
botany than be business man at an
annual salary of $4,000. A Wiscon-
sin University girl, however, thinks
differently, and armed with letters in
which he had confessed his desire to
become a popular hero, she takes him
in hand, psycho-analyzes him and
starts the newly-made hero off in a
gale of hilarious difficulties.
The stadium scenes in the second
act have caused much praise and ac-
claim from critics and followers of
college athletics. The relay race has
been described as being GAS thrilling
as all the chariots of Ben Hur'".

MOTHER" THEME HAS BEEN
GREAT POETS INSPIRATION.

Mothers Day is day of special OBJ
servance which was originated by a
Philadelphia, Pa, girl twenty years
ago and which struck such a popular
chord of sentiment that few of our
holidays are celebrated with more sin
cerity than it is. For the idea back
of Mothers Day is one which appeals
to everybody. And the mother"
theme which has been the inspiration
for many great poets has produced
some of the best known and best loved
poems ever written.
There's an interesting article in this
issue of The Miner which tells about
some of these poems and which you
will enjoy reading. Look for Mothers
Day." by Elmo Scott Watson in this
issue.

MEN PUT ON
VERY FINE SHOW.
"WOMANLESS WEDDING" PUT ON
FOR THREE NIGHTS TO LARGE
AUDIENCES-MEN AQUIT THEM
SELVES AS WOMEN ACTORS.

The sixty or more men of the city
did fine piece of work when they
presented the "WomanleSs Wedding
to three large and appreciative audi
ences at the Washington Auditorium
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings. The show Wednesday even
ing was given for the children of Ely
who had been practically excluded
from the other performances by the
cost of admission.
The original cast was made up for
seventy men but owing to the flu and
other previous engagements only about
sixty found it convenient to appear
and take part Only two rehearsals
were required to whip this event into
shape and considering the difficulty of
some roles, the men did an excellent
job.
Miss Lucille Decker, representing the
producing company of Bardstown,
Kentucky, was in charge of the pro-
duction which was sponsored by the
Presbyterian Ladies Aid. Miss Decker
proved very able coach and the pre-
sentation was made without hitch.
We will omit the details regarding
the show as given and will also omit
the difficult task of selecting the stars
in the production. All were stars and
led by such able histrionic characters
as Ed. Buckley, Bruce Strachan, Ernie
Hanson, Jock Brown, Santos, Sig Oh
son, Jim Laing, Art Knutson, Albert
McMahan, Ed Jones, Walter Englund,
Ray Sugrue, Bill Mcfarland, Joe Ger
Yin and Gene Joncas, put on a show
that was the joy of the audience. The
musical numbers were received with
applause.

NATIONAL PARKS.

"a national park is an area of orig
inal unmodified natural conditions set
aside to protect and maintain lands
Of relatively subordinate economic
value but embracing scenery of quail
ity SO distinctive, commanding and
impressive, or enclosing natural fea-
lures of scientific or historic interest
so extraordinary or. unique, as to pos
sess national interest and importance,
as distinguished from those of Sec
tional or local significance They are,
therefore, held inviolate as a preserve
of primitive nature. National parks
are designed to render public service
through the complete preservation of
all their resources; scenic, scientific,
historic, and wild life, for the educa-
ton and recreation of the whole peo-
pie. They serve, as well, a coordinate
value in high degree for the protection
of water flows.
preservation of the objects of in
terest and of their scenic, historic and
scientific values is basic in national
park administration. National parks
are outdoor museums and as such are
made fully available for public enjoy
ment and education under the most
profitable conditions. Utilities for
these purposes are, therefore, domin-
ant to any other use and are designed
to afford the freest enjoyment of ma
ture by the whole public unimpeded
by individual privileges. The chief
function OF these parks, as stated by
Secretary Work, is not to afford the
popular playground conception of re-
creation, but for the exercise of their
scientific values and "the higher edu-
cation of our people in the finer
things" They are not created to du-
plicate recreation utilities "down to
the smallest picnic park standard y
for municipal and state and national
forests together offer outdoor oppor-
tunities in countless numbers and are
easily accessible"
"On the national parks the COM
plete preservation of wild life is a
basic principle of park administration.
The national parks are game sanctu-
aries and breeding reserves where
wild life may be enjoyed for esthetic
pleasure and study, for the recreation
al use of photography, and where no
hunting is permitted. The use of the
wild life assets of the national parks
is spiritual rather than economic and
supplemental to the wild life admin
istratior1>o of the national forests.
I'm brief, the administrative
policy governing the national
parks is cogently set forth by
Franklin X. Lane, former secre-
tary of the interior: First, that
the national parks must be MAIN
tanned in absolute unimpaired
form for the use of future genera
tions as well as those of our time;
Second that they are set apart
for the use, observation, health
and pleasure of the people, and
third, that the national interest
must dictate all decisions affecting
public or private enterprise in the
parks
