How much and what to feed dry
cows probably is something you are
studying at this time. The extern
sion service at the University of
Tennessee says in order to produce
her maximum yield, the cow must
be gotten in proper physical condi-
ton for this hard work.
-Four to six pounds of grain per
day along with plenty of good pas
ture or silage or legume hay is re-
quired to build the COW into the
very best condition, Tennessee Pub
LEGATION 100 says. A mixture of equal
parts of ground oats and wheat
bran or three parts ground oats, two
parts wheat bran and one part lin
seed oil is suggested.
Nebraska covers the same subject
in Circular 627, pointing out that
any additional fat that a cow adds to
her body while dry is a reserve upon
which she will draw after freshening.
Nebraska says just before calving a
COW should weigh 100 to 200 pounds
more than during lactation.

bulletins interesting. Write the ex-

This is National Farm Safety

This is National Farm Safety
= Week, and I'm reminded that
a fellow who leaves a chunk of his
right hand in a sickle bar or corn
husker is bound to have trouble
keeping up with his rapid-milking
program, among other things.
OF course there is no single
season of the year when a farmer
should give more thought to be-
ing careful and avoiding acct
dents that's an every day job,
like milking. National Farm
Safety Week, sponsored by the
National Safety Council, just
seeks to focus attention on the
need for care in your daily work.
Most accidents are avoidable. If
you'd like to have a check list of
good, sensible safety rules, you'll
find % items tabulated in the latest
issue of the Producers Edition of

CHAPTER III

He never went anywhere except
once a week when he stole down
the stairs on his way to the bank.
A small man, with a dark felt
hat drawn down low over his eyes
and a muffler round his neck.
Where he went no one knew for
certain, but Mrs. Payne guessed
that it must be to the bank, for
he always went on the day he
paid his bill. He paid it in cash;
no one had ever seen Monsieur's
signature on a check.
And as Mrs. Payne went on
down the stairs Monsieur turned
to the back sheet of the Times
where you found little pictures of
houses to let and sell. Before he
left Paris he had loved houses and
had owned several. For one fleet
ing instant he visualized the one
he had loved best. His dead wife
had loved it, his Lucienne. Thank
God, she had gone before this
horror descended on her beloved
France.
When he arrived at Metals adj
vertisement he blinked his eyes
and read it twice. The wording of
it attracted him. "a small private
hotel with Accommodations for
four visitors, S guineas a week"
Too much! But could you pay
too much for peace?
He was still staring at the pa
per when Mrs. Payne brought in
his lunch. She did not as a rule
speak when she brought in Mon
sieur's lunch, but somehow this
time she felt she had to. Don't

sort of change he would go raw

AS John Wynter went on his

brutally betrayed by their leaders.
AS he turned down into Pail

John Wynter began to bring back

Prime Minister Churchill eau

against Japan until the end of
1916.

There were immediate indica

labor's ranks would oppose ex-
tension of the coalition govern

Churchill heled out hope that
political convulsion in Germany

end at any time"
But, in almost the same
breath, he warned that against
that possibility must be set the

slider an extension of voting

The session will begin at II am,

ed from a change of position by

which, "as a result OF more

cred that a serious emergency
had arisen which caused 1t TO

1T was decided further the
governor declared in a prepared
statement, that the emergency
could best be met by providing
permissive legislation for the
Nov. 7 election only.
This decision was based on
the conviction Of both the cleo
ton commission and the state
officials that it would be mis-
take to order that all the polling
places in the state be kept open
until 10 pm. The legislature
will, therefore, be requested to
enact legislation to permit the
governing bodies of cities and
townships to extend voting
hours where such governing
bodies deem it necessary"
Kelly, who twice before had
said a special session would not
be needed, cited reasons given
him by the Detroit and Wayne
county election commissions in
their requests for tWo-hour ex-
tension of voting time beyond
the usual pm. closing OF the
polls.
