t..Corn OH the 5CobY1Not
So Good for Dairy Cow

"Corn on the cob," however tasty
: it may be to her. is not an .econon-
ical feed for the dairy COW, all
things considered, says H.. r..
Searles, extension dairyman, Uni
versity farm, st. Paul.
Ground feeds are, from Lotto Is
per cent more efficient than ear
corn for the producing COW. And al
though it. is easier to feed broken
ear corn and osturn cows into corn
stalk pastures for forage, any saw
ings in labor are offset by losses
in milk production.
A ration of corn and stalks lacks
variety and does not supply pro-
teins necessary to the producing
COW. Furthermore, corn is not the
best supplement for corn silage and
corn groughage.i u Other grains and
supplementary feeds, such as linsesd
oil meal soybean oil meal, cotton
seed meal or corn gluten meal
should be added to the farm ration
to supply variety and protein. When
no legumes are fed, the ration
should contain from 20. to rs per
cent of the protein supplements.
Higher production obtained more
economically will be the result.
Equal parts of ground corn and
oats fed with alfalfa hay will make
satisfactory farm ration. Should
oats be scarce, ground corn, or
ground corn and cob,g with alfalfa
will also make good rations. With
out alfalfa or some other slegume
hay, these rations will require one
of the above mentioned protein sup
plements. Each COW should be fed
individually, according to the
amount of milk she is producing.

Ded4 HEARTIEST EATERS
Dry Mash Mixture Aidseir
Production of Eggs.

ID eor6-s 81 -WNU Service. 1acF}rE3s
Laying focks must consume .plen-
ty of dry mash daily during cold
weather if egg yields of so per
cent or more are to he maintained.
While grain consumption is high
ly important for body maintenance
purposes, it is chiefly from the dry
mash mixture that layers manu-
facture eggs. Good, well-balanced
rations must be- provided and the
hens encouraged to eat at the rate
of approximately IL pounds of mash
a day per 100 layers.
Provide enough mash hopper
space SO that every hen may eat at
any slime she chooses. This means
a six-foot hopper for every SO birds.
The hoppers should be built no high
er than s15g inches from the floor.
Hens prefer low hoppers and will
use them more often than those
built on higher legs or set on tables.
Each hopper should have broad
CotAIS CAp1IoC, ot~lCaot OLA hiiSACo
wide. Furnish fresh mash every
morning and always stir it when
visiting the laying pen. Do not fill
the hoppers too full, for hens will
waste the, contents under such con-
ditions. 8E #f#a
If dry mash consumption is fall
ing below normal, try mixing some
of it to a crumbly-moist consistency,
preferably with milk but with water
If milk is not at hand. Then feed
it in this crumbly form on top of the
dry mash This slight change in
form will often increase gconsump-
ton. sEs FsfssIYs ss85a
Place the mash hoppers in a we'll
lighted section of the pen and where
the hens may get to- them easily:
Hang artificial lights over the dry
mash hoppers. u -8aS
Layers should be consuming
slightly more mash than grain, and
the amount of feed consumed alto
gether should be about % pounds
per 100 birds every % hours.

England was diverted from war
threats today by reports that the
romance of Ishbel Macdonald.

village-handyman husband. Nor.
man Ridgely, has gone on the

They were married last Febru'

as village tinker to help his wife
operate her seventeenth century
country pub, Ye Olde Plow Inn,
in Speen.
Ishbel was "first lady" of Great
Britain when her father was
prime minister, as she acted as
his official hostess. All England
was surprised when she announced
her engagement to the handyman
of Speen who beats the drum in
the village band and is captain

The couple seemed happy when
they returned to Ye Olde Plow Inn

CASE TODEC|DE
BRIDGES FATE

G.N.S0 The Supreme Court
today granted the Governments
petition for review of a case which
affects deportation proceedings
against Harry Bridges, Australian.
born CIO Maritime Union leader
on the West Coast.
The case is that of Joseph
George Strecker, Hot Springs,
Ark, restaurant keeper, whom
the Government sought to deport
on the ground that he had been a
Communist.
The Fourth Circuit Court of
Appeals ruled that Strecker could
not be deported. 1t held that the
Government failed to show that
the Communist party, to which
Strecker had belonged, had ad-
vocated overthrow of the Govern
ment by force.
The question of whether past
membership in the Communist
party was cause for deportation
also was involved.
The case now will be argued
orally before final decision is
handed down.
