Dairy Cow Should Be
In Barn Cold Nights

Cows left out on cold nights,
especially if the weather is wet and
stormy, almost invariably show some
decline in production, The thought
full dairymen have already started
housing their cows, says H. R. Searles,
dairy specialist of the University of
Minnesota, taking care not to leave
the stable closed so tightly that good
ventilation is interfered with. Cows
appreciate and respond to comfortable
conditions, and will not do their best
if required to expend their energies
in keeping warm.
Mr. Searles also says the time has
come to start winter rations. In most
cases pastures which are still free Of
snow are getting short and need to
be supplemented or replaced by winter
roughages. Even if pastures are still
good, it would be wise to feed some
of the winter grain ration to the
heavier producing cows and those
that are fresh.
The ideal roughages for feeding
alfalfa and corn silage-can be pro-
duced most anywhere in Minnesota
and should be fed literally to the
cows that make good use of them.

LAVA BURIES TOWNS
Many Die, Millions Lost in
Streams of Boiling
Rock.

Riposto, Sicily-Five towns and vii
lagos burned up, five persons dead and
$4,000 homeless is the toll from the
eruption of Mt. Etna. which sent a
river of molten lava flowing from 100
assures towards the Ionian sea. Mas
cali, Carrabba and Nunzeata were de-
stoyed and other towns are being eva
cuated. Uncounted areas of rich farm
land have been laid waste. Three
main streams of lava converged at the
town of Carrabba and almost totally
destroyed the town, which had been
evacuated hours before. Army en-
gineers were devising plans for d.
verting the molten masses from Giar-
re, city of $4,000, now in the path
of the lava. Thousands are working
frantically, digging enormous trenches
which it is hoped will change the
course of the molten streams so that
they will head for the sea without hit
ting the sea. A new eruptive crater
has opened in Mt. Etna near Magaz-
zeni, five miles northwest of Mascali.
Large quantities of lava are pouring
from the new break and its initial
speed constitutes a serious menace to
Giarre
