C hut ttie epic contains in its one hundred thousand stanzas much material which Is not directly connected with the great war, a mere eighteen days' buttle. The epic is really an encyclopaedia of information presenting the philosophic, social and ethical ideas of ancient India. The colorful epi theta applied to the various tribes described in the course of the long, rambling story reveal to us thefacf that the ancients were Just as much Interested In freaks of nature as the average cireus-goinj- f American is today.

It lias been demonstrated repeatedly that It does not pay to have a ualry cow freshen In low condition. She may produce less than 70 per cent as much milk as she would produce had she freshened In good This fact has led dairymen to say that their most profitable feeding is done during the dry period. The cows own physical condition la one of the best guides to the amount of feed needed during the dry period. If In good flesh, she will carry along all right on legume hay and silage or pusture and a small amount of feed. The ration should be light and laxative. If you have a good quality of legume hay, a ration made up largely of corn and oats or bailey and oats will be satisfactory. A mixture for a ration might contain 400 pounds of corn or corn and cob meal, 200 pounds of oats, 400 pounds of wheat, 100 pounds of wheut brun, 100 pounds of linseed meul, ollmenl or soybean oilmen). Where only poor roughage such as timothy hay, oat straw or corn fodder la available, It Is advisable to Increase the or soybean olimeal by 50 per con-cll'lo- ' al ' cent It Is especially Important to take good care of the cow at calving time. Confine her to a good clean box stall about a week before freshening, chunge the ration so that it Is very light and laxative. This may mean withholding com and. feeding only oats, wheat bran and olimeal Permit the cow to take exercise In a pasture or In the yurd. Soon after the calf Is dropped the cow should be In this way the dnlryman tied up. will observe whether or not the afterbirth Is delivered. If the afterbirth Is not delivered normally and within twelve or Iwenty-fou- r hours, the cow may need some medical attention. Wisconsin Farmer. Doesnt Pay to Neglect Early-Fresheni- Cow ng The cow that freshens In the early full Is apt to have a hard lime of It. She comes Into production at a time when the farmer Is rushing around with silo filling and late threshings, followed by fall plow and root harvest. There Is a very natural tendency to get through with us little chores us possible and cows are usually bred to come In after the rush Is over. If a cow does freshen, she takes the same treatment as the rest of the herd. As a matter of fact, she Is usually considered a nuisance. Hut this Is the time when milk comes easiest and a cow responds most profitably to extra feed and care. The fresh cow now should get a proper grain rutlon, fed in proportion to production. She should not be out at night when the nights, get frosty. If she Is milking In excess of r() lbs. milk dally she will respond profitable to milking. If she Is not properly fed and regularly milked, she will be a poorer cow right through the lactation period. y Wheat in Dairy Ration Wheat proved a better grain thun corn In a ration for milk cows In an experiment conducted recently at the Ohio experiment elution. Ln view of the bumper crop of this grain In Ohio this year these residts are of Interest to Ohio dairymen who are looking to feeding wheat this winter. The grain ration for these cows consisted of three parts wheat, three parts oats and one part each of corn, bran and linseed meal, which was fed along with silage and hay. In comparison with cows fed this ration except that corn replaced wheat these cows produced more milk and butterfat but the cows on corn gained a little more In weight Four cows on the wheat ration averaged 50 pounds of butterfat a month while those on corn averaged 43 pounds.

The latter was a work frock solely and simply a work frock for Eva wouid soon be on her way toward Battery park and the coffee stall where nightly she dispensed hot coffee and sandwiches to the down and cwts'J of that neighborhood. Eva had rented the coffee stall and Its equipment for a month and thoroughly enjoyed a fragment of life she had not hitherto known. Not that she had always known a degree of affluence. Eva had worked long and hard for the possession of the dainty flat and Its comfortable furnishings which she now enjoyed. Eva wasnt dispensing coffee because she loved being among the down and outs, but simply because she must enlarge her scope for story writing. She wrote the type of stories that were gradually creeping Into movie fields, and In return brought back Increasingly large cheeks.

He fell to wondering, as he con- Burned endless cups of her coffee. Just what kink of fate had put her where she was Instead of ln an exquisitely furnished drawing room a far more fitting background than the row of hot dogs, chipped cups, and steaming coffee urns. And the back of Eva's mind was not Jacking In speculation regarding the young man In the shabby knlckere-an- d outrageous neckties. She scoffed at the Idea that he might be down there for the same purpose as herself to study humanity ln this stratum. Those things only happen In the movies and the lesser type of rHura novel," she told herself, but she continued none the less her guarded study of him, telling herself firmly that she had chosen him as a type. She would catalogue him merely as an unusually attractive type of down and outer" who must, at one time of his career, have been possessed of great opportunities. Eva knew, by the keen look ln his eyes, that the lmng-doglance of the gutter Inhabitant would never besmirch his countenance. Ills language, on the other hand, was simply atrocious. Eva thought he must have .taken lessons In the expert butchering of the kings English. Eva came very near hitting the mark ln her surmise, for young V.

Ills second play wns nearing completion and before many days had passed .Tames would cast off the physical and mental mire of the derelict and revert to his natural element that of scholar and gentleman. Eva, for some unknown reason, always flung on a cloak of armor when James approached the stall with his confreres. Perhaps It was to guard herself since she was at a loss to know just where to catalogue him iii her gallery of derelicts. She succeeded In baffling him as well as herself. When rehearsals began for the new play, young James was forced away from the Battery by a need of his presence on Broadway. ' Eva, too, had lodged the coffee-stal-l again with Its rightful holder and repaired to her dainty apartment with a fine plot for the movies, ller Her typewriter clicked Incessantly. heart, too, when It lmd time, thumped a dull tattoo, when the eyes of a cerouter" Intruded Into tain down-anher plot.

The author was called and stepped shyly out to thank his audience In words that prompted Eva to surmise that he lmd bathed his voesbu-lar- y in the limpid pools of the kings English so exquisite was his speech. Turning his eyes toward the front rows, where all the critics seemed to have gathered. W. Owen Janies speech suddenly halted, picked Itself up and continued.

SHYNESS TRAIT OF MANY GREAT MEN cation of a young relative. His testimony lias some value. So many Presidents of the United States have been described as shy, even the most eminent of them, that shyness must have been exaggerated as a personal handicap in the struggle for success. What seems to he genuine shyness may he overcome by a strong will, ambition and determination to get results. Outside of public life some of the most successful men have been said to he shy. Henry Ford has Impressed many people as very diffident. Even the late J. P. Morgan, prince of financiers, shunned publicity as if lie were obsessed with the desire for privacy. He would never attempt to make a speech. An audience of schoolboys frightened him. But even nn orator may be naturally solitary. Some great actors have been shy.
