ECONOMICAL FEED FOR COWS
Home Grown Foods, as Rule, Should
Form Main Reliance of Dalry-
^ man—Some Good Lessons.
(By M. K. WOODWORTH.)
Economical feeding of a dairy herd
1b a subject which cannot be fulty
explained In a short paper, but there
/ /are a few points which I might men-
tion which would cause the reader to
further investigate for himself. II
I could say something that would
. cause dairymen to look into the mat-
f- ter, my best hopes would be realized,
for It Is easy for a man to be shown
after he Is willing to learn.
As a rule home-grown foods should
form the main reliance, but com-
mercial feeds and purchased grains
will necessarily occupy a more or less
^ prominent place in dairy rations for
years to come. How much of these
feeds we can use at a profit depends
upon their cost and the quality of the
cows we are feeding. Generally
speaking, the man who is producing
the city milk can afford to feed more
grain than the man who Is producing
products that can be held over in
storage for longer periods of time.
Viewed from another standpoint,
| the cow that is fed starvation rations
and those fed more than they can di-
gest and turn to a profit, are both
losing money for their owners. It Is
d somewhere between these extremes
w that the successful dairyman must
1 set his' standard. It is his business
to find out and no dairy authority on
earth can inform him intelligently. It
is one of the many lessons we must
work out by associating with our
stock.
A Mother's Gift—The Bible
Remember, love, who gave three
This,
When other days shall come;
When she who had the earliest
kiss
Sleeps in her narrow home.
Remember 'twas a mother gave
The gift to one she'd die to save.
Thy mother sought a pledge of
love,
The holiest, for her son
! And from the gifts of God above
i She chose this Holy one;
She chose for her beloved boy
The source of light and life and j
joy.
I bid the keep the gift that when
The parting hour shall come,
We may have hope to meet again
In an eternal home.
Thy precious faith in this shalbe
Sweet incense to my memory.
And, should the scoffer in his
pride
i Laugh that fond faith to scorn,
I And bid thee cast the pledge
aside
| That thou from youth hast borne;
II bid thee pause and ask thy
breast
1 If he or I have love the best.
| A mother's blessing on her son
I Goes with this Holy thing.
| The heart that would enjoy the
one
| Must to the other cling,
j Remember 'tis no idle toy
A mothers gift, my darling boy.

meanest and the lowest. In the
dramatization the story is brought
out with dramatic force and
strength that leaves absolutely
nothing to be desired.
There is a delightfully humor-
ous old character in the person
of the old doctor, who is a dis-
ciple of Isaac Walton, and be-
lieves that the best medicine for
a tired heart or a weary brain is
to catch a good mess of fish.
The love story running through
the piece is sweet, pure whole-
some, and this, together with
4some extremely realistic and
i startling scenes and situations,
i make a play brimming over with
! interest and one with a powerful

Durability of the Silo.
The durability of the silo should be
well considered before building. Many
of the cheapest silos l*ave proven to
be the most expensive, owing to the
fact that they have maintained their
efficiency for a few years only. In
silos as well as all other buildings it
will be found most economical to
build good ones.
The materials used should consist
of wood, tile, brick, stone, cement
blocks or solid concrete. Considering
the durability and the cost, the re-en-
forced concrete silo is to be recom-
mended.
Increases Dairy Profits.
One way to increase profits on the
dairy (Mm is to get rid of the poor
cows.
Whitewash Is Cheap.
Whitewash is so cheap that Its cost
does not excuse having plenty of it in
the hen houses and cow barns.
No Profit Expected.
The dairy cow cannot be expected
to make large profits from improper
cave and improper feed.
Millet Is Fair Hay.
Millet is only a fair hay for dairy

"The Calling of Dan Matthews"
That Famous Play
The plays which do the most
good in the world are those which
set men thinking. The task has
been well accomplished by Harold
Bell Wright in the dramatization
of his popular book, "the call-
ing of dan matthews." The
scene of the play is in the Ozark
Mountains, in the little town call-
ed Corinth. The hero is a young
preacher, and by the way, is the
son of our old friends, Sammy,
and young Mat, whom we know
in "The Shepherd of the Hill,"
l who comes to Corinth to be pas-
tor of one of its churches. At
first he is well received. Later,
j in preaching the convictions of
! his own heart and in befriend-
1 ing Benny, the poor boy, and his
mother, and a poor innocent girl
i for whose bad reputation certain
persons in his church are largely
responsible, he is driven to re-
sign his position as pastor, and
the most influential members in
the church turn out to be the
