That was the question ' animal husbandry asked within department of the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical college, when they planned last years feeding experiments. The basic ration consisted of ground corn, alfalfa liny, and enough ground limestone to make 2 per cent of the grain ration. To this was added cottonseed meal in different amounts for different lots of steers. The lot which f received one and pounds of cottonseed meal per steer dally, made tiie largest gains, an average of 1.91 pounds a day, and their gains were made at a cost of $7.08 a hundred pounds, which was tiie cheapest rate t lie one-hal- of gain. Although limestone was included us a part of tiie ration no advantage was noted. One additional lot of steers was fed prairie hay instead of alfalfa Imy lloth ttiese lots showed a gain of 1.75 pounds a day per steer, but tiie lot fed prairie liny gained 100 pounds at a cost of $7.91 while it cost $S22 vvitli alfalfa Imy Tiie steers fed alfalfa tient the ot tiers on market, bringing $12.50 a hundred compared to $12 for the lot fed rairie bay. Alfalfa bay was figured nt $15 a ton, prairie at $8. cottonseed meal it $.'!8, und corn at 05 cents a bushel.

For the red poppy has become the emblem of Armistice day and we wear it on November 11 as a memorial not only to the men who died during the but also to years of 1914-1those who came back to their homes alive but bearing upon their bodies and in their minds the scars of that holocaust the disabled veterans. The story of how the red poppy became the emblem of Armistice day goes back to November, 1918 even before there was an Armistice to lighten the burden of a world. In it there is a curious parallelism between the establishment of this custom and another custom observed on another day when we honor our war dead. It was a group of southern women in Columbus, Ga., who in 1805 banded together to decorate the graves of soldiers, both Union and Confederate, thus originating a custom which is perpetuated in our Memorial day observance. And it was another southern woman. Miss Moina Michael of Athens, (in., who originated the idea of adopting the red poppy as a symbol of the sacrifices of r the fighting men of the World war and whose efforts have resulted in this flow er'.s being adopted as the Armistice day emblem. The idea came to Miss Michael The pictures shown above are photographs taken in a disabled veterans' while she was serving on the stall of hospital where the patients make Buddy Poppies to be sold throughout the the Y.

The claim that any proprietary feed is a seientilically balanced ration Is is one A balanced ration absurd. which supplies the animal with exactly tiie right amount of food and in which the different classes of nutrients are supplied lu the proportions in which they are needed by the animal. Before a grain mixture can Intelligently be prescribed which will supply even an approximation of a balanced ration to a dairy cow. tiie amount and character of the available roughage (hay, pasture, stover, silage, etc.) must be known; also the approx imate production of the animal. A grain mixture balanced for feeding with clover or alfalfa hay and silage would no longer be balanced if the legunit liny were replaced by timothy, or If tiie silage were discontinued. When it is realized that a 1, (KM) pound cow producing 20 p mrids of average milk requires three times as much protein and twice as much total food material as she would need when dry or that when producing 40 pounds, her requirement would he five times as much protein and three limes as much total food; or that when producing of average milk, her re(it) pounds be seven times as would quirement much protein and four times as much total food as she would need wtien dry, tiie Importance of production as a factor in balancing rations can be readily understood. The preceding i,rPf statement will also serve to show that the heavy producing cow must have a much higher proportion of proten n her food than the lighter pro ducer. A ration which Is balanced for the light producer would be entirely inadequate and out of balance for the heavy producer, while one that whs balanced for the latter would be out of balance and wasteful, especially of protein if fed even In reduced amount to a light producer or a dry cow. t; Ilome-comin- now-famou- s o' blond-colore- pre-ent- poppy-though- Artificial Respiration Useful to Save Lambs There is a tendency on some dairy farms to feed too much high protein grain to dairy cows, with the n suit that they have to be sent to tbe.butch-spr within two or three years vocalise of udder trouble or failure to ireei If m,ch practices meant ntrtasei n i profits, dairymen would tie Just s no ie following them; tint sir se.

Immediately after removing tiie lamb from tiie water It should be wiped dry and kept warm until It lias gained strength. Lambs failing to breathe at birth are saved trequently by artificial respiration. To do this, rub the sides, move the front legs forward mid back-- j ward, and blow in tiie nostrils, Feed two tablespoonfuls of the ewes milk every two hours to a weak lamb. After a few artificial feedings will develop sufficient the lamb strength to look after himself. A ewe which has lost her lamb may be Induced to adopt an orphan If the skin of tiie dead lamb is placed on the back of the orphan. Another method is to dab a bit of kerosene or winter green oil on the nose of tiie ewe und on the back of the orphan lamb, Should a ewe refuse to own her lamb, bring a strange dog Into the shed; tiie danger often stimulates the protective Instinct of tiie mother to tiie point where she will forget her stubbornness and go to tiie lamb. Fall Pigs Profitable if Given Attention Vigorous fall pigs that are properly fed and handled probably will make pork Just as cheaply as spring pigs," says W. K Carroll, chief of swine husbandry.

A new pipe, or an old one carefully broken in with Sir Walter Raleigks lavorite smoking mixture, changes everything. And why shouldnt it? Sir Whiter is milder and more fragrant And it has the body and flavor found only in the finest of Burley, skillfully seasoned and blended. What more could we offer any pipe smoker? WTiat more could he ask? cows. Tiie average lifetime of the cows In a herd should be five years, or live fed milking periods. When cows are If properly they will calf every year, there is no abortion in tiie herd, and In other produce well yenr after yeur. words, we will get tiie most milk from a herd of cows over a period of five fed years when tiie amount of grain is not too heavy, and when tiie grain ration fits the roughage fed. If we want a cow to stay in our herd any not lengih of time, we must be careful to overfeed her.

Seven cows tested by tiie writer averaged 1.8 fat In the first milk and 6.2 per cent In the last draw.
