By CARL L. DENIES

Following his graduation from
Harvard, Mr.. Aldrich joined the
staff Of the Providence Journal
and four years later came to Wash.
ington in the capacity Of Secre.
tary to Senator Dixon.
In his spare time he reviewed a
concert. and only one, for a local
newspaper. The next day the edi.
tor of the newspaper came fuming
into the office. where is the
d. fool who wrote so much about
that concerto"
Mr.. Aldrich, as music editor OF
the New York Times for % years
(1902-24), was always sincere and
impersonal in his criticism. His
standards were high and he did
much to elevate the standards of
music criticism to a high plane.
His interest in art was not con
fined to music. for we find him
graduating from Harvard magma
cum laude with special recognition
of excellence in Greek compost
ton, and his earlier newspaper
training included that of a gen.
eral reporter and writer on music,
drama and art.
After leaving washington, M.
Aldrich became assistant to H. E.
Krehbiel, the distinguished music
critic of the Tribune, New York
city, where he received training
and counsel in the practical and
esthetic problems of a music re-
viewer. He did not confine his
efforts entirely to music in his
reportorial activities.
When he became music editor
Of the New York Times, he had a
broad experience in journalism in
addition to music. His care for
accuracy and his tolerance were
always noteworthy features of his
writings. His tolerance can best
be expressed by the claims mace
by radicals that he was conserve
tive, and the conservatives looked
upon him as radical.
Olin DowneS, music critic Of
The New York Times, says of his
predecessor: When he came on
the scene, Belioz, whom he never
was willing u q ualifie dly to
endorse, and Brahms, whom he
Fundamentally championed, were
still problems. The mature Strauss
was yet to be heard from. the
Debussy Of tPelle&s likewise; Cesar
Franck was q new and strange
figure on the horizon. D'Indy
was horrific. Stravinsky, Bloch,
Sibelius, were yet to emerge from
the unknown future.
"OtherS, less wise in their gen.
erations, were quick to speak for
or against these new figures.
When a new work by Strauss was
performed, he was slow to come
to his critical conclusions, but
quick to study and publish an
analysis Of the score. When the
moSSbackS were shouting 'decad-
ent,' 'spineless,' futile and with

Debussy, Aldrich wrote of the
American premiere of 'Pelleas' in

Built Straw Silo

When the hot July Sun scared
Frank Canield's cornfield, running a
promising crop on which he had
counted to feed out a bunch of cat
tie, he felt blue. MI. Garfield, who
farms east of Des Moines, Iowa,
reports the Country Home Maya
zine, began figuring the best way
to use his fodder crop which was
good. He had a big pile of baled
straw and that gave him an idea;
build a silo of straw bales! He lost
no time building a huge round silo
and filling it to the brim with his
blasted corn crop. Now he finds that
q straw silo has several advantages.
The walls 60 down as the silage re-
cedes. and there is no pitching up as
with a pit silo. Pliers, pitchfork,
and a little headwork are providing
his hungry cattle with both bed and
board.

Dry Period 31-60 Days
Found Best for JERSEYS

Perhaps no definite answer can be
made as to the exact time q cow
should rest between periods Of lac
-tation, for much depends upon the
condition Of a cow when she
is through milking and how well
she RECEIVERS from her work, states
a writer in Hoard's Dairyman.
Arnold and Becker of the Florida
Agricultural Experiment station
found that q dry period of 81 to 60
days was necessary for Jerseys to
produce maximum milk yields. A
dry period Of longer than 81 days
appeared to result in lower milk pro-
duction. When cows were dry less
than 30 days, there was an indica-
ton of an earlier decline in milk
yield than those receiving a longer
rest period.
In practice it has been stated that
q COW should rest from a month to
six weeks and this research by the
Florida Experiment station indi-
Gates that this is about the right
period for cows to recover in order
to secure the best flows of milk.

the gases have burned of, reset

This same rule applies should

burn itself out at any time. Be
careful not to smother it with too

When the FIRE again is burning

Molasses, Cheap
Live Stock Feed
Can Be Fed Either Diluted
or Undiluted, Sprinkled
on the Hay.

less oa Asr ssSaas: WV fpf seT VICE COZ
Cane molasses is a good feed for
livestock, and is the cheapest feed
on he market. Farmers are urged
TO become familiar with it and to
learn to use it.
Molasses is hard to distribute, but
y is planned to have it widely avail
able in drums this winter. Reports
from a hurried study Of the New
York milk shed indicate that retail
prices for molasses in drums may
be from $21 to $26 q ton.
Cane molasses is about one-fourth
water and has in it more than Sc
per cent Of total digestible nutri-
ents. The principal constituent is
about SIS per cent total sugars which
give molasses its feed value. A ton
OF molasses, OF. I'll gallons, has
about three-fourths the value Of corn
when properly used in the ration.
The following amounts may be
used for stock with excellent results
along with other feeds:
Seven to nine pounds q day for
horses and mules; two to three
pounds for dairy cows; three to
four pounds for beef cattle; one to
two pounds for hogs; and a half
pound for sheep and lambs. These
suggestions as to amounts are con-
sentative, and every feeder should
try to use the maximum.
It can be fed either diluted with
hot water or undiluted. II diluted,
the molasses can be sprinkled over
the hay, silage Or grain. # undilut-
ed, a paddle or big spoon spreads
it on the roughage or grain in the
manger. A mixture of one-haH mo-
lasses and one-haf water will not
freeze.
Roughage such as corn stalks can
be cut or shredded and sprinkled
before feeding with diluted molas-
ses; or a stout, shallow box about
four feet square with faring sides
about six inches deep, put up on
strong, well braced legs, makes a
good self-feeder in the yard. A bar
rel Of molasses can. be placed end
up in the feeder and q single
placed under it SO that the molasses
flows out slowly. ,

MaStitiS

Mastitis may be regarded as any
abnormal condition in the cows I'D
der. Whether this condition is such
that it can be transmitted to other
cows depends on the nature of the
trouble and perhaps more on how
far it has progressed. Young ami
mails are not so likely to be affected
as are older ones, particularly those
OF high production. It is not unusual
for good dairy cows to have a swol-
len or congested udder for several
days after calving. The milk at
such times is not always normal.
This does not mean that the COW
has infectious mastitis. - Hoard's

end Of the month is usually (not al
ways, however) that as much as five
to fifteen pounds in weight has been
lost without the patient feeling that
he or she has been starved. This
great loss in weight is usually most
" a loss in water from the tissues,
for although overweight individuals
lose more water daily than do those
Of normal weight, nevertheless fat
tissue holds more water than muscle
tissue and by getting rid Of this sur
plus water actual weight is lost.
At the end Of the first month the
next step in the treatment is cut
ting down on the fat foods by as
much as one-quarter to one-third.
Another point about cutting down
on fat foods is that in those Of nor
NAL weight or those underweight
the use Of fat foods Is Of great help
in protecting" the body tissues. Al
SO the use Of fat foods prevents too
rapid burning up or using up Of
starch foods. You can thus see that
when the protecting influence Of
fat foods is lessened by cutting
down on the amount of fat foods
eaten, then in those Of overweight
the actual tissues Of the body viii
get worn more, and starch foods
will be more rapidly burned. There
is thus a double action on weight
reducing when fat foods are reduced
in amount. @.& 80
Cut the Starches Last = ~,
And the final step of course, which
may be in one to three months, is
to cut down by one-third to one-half
on all starch foods. These are usu-
ally the foods that the overweight
likes most, but they are also the
foods that give energy to work or
to exercise. BY cutting down too
much on starch foods at the begin
ming Of the reduction process, the
Individual is liable to feel so weak
and listless that to prevent COM
plete collapse food is eaten in in
creased quantities.
However, by waiting until a GER
tain amount of weight is lost by
getting rid of surplus water-at-
tanning the water balance-and then
losing q certain amount more by
cutting down on the fat foods, with
the double action mentioned above,
when it comes to the starch foods,
and their turn to be cut down great
" $50 per cent?, the individual
has lost so much weight and gained
so much physical strength that he
or she has gained confidence or mo-
rale and tackles more readily the
reducing OF the starch foods.
The thought then is ~.(a) cutting
the liquids and salt in half at once
and cutting down the starches and
fats by 10 per cent; (b) continuing
the reduced amount Of salt and wa
ter, cut down on fats by one-quarter
to one-third for the second month;
