With his Legion record, they made a rare combination of personality and achievement which was irresistible. His protests that he feared he would not be able to accept counted for tittle. They were voted down with enthusiasm. Born In Scarborough, England, In 1886, the new chief came to America as a lad of ten. After attending the public schools at Brooklyn, N. Y., and Passaic, N. J., he received the degree of mechanical engineer at Cornell university In 1909. He has been employed as a telephone engineer with the Western Electric company.

The American Legion Believes in laying Its cards on the table la hitting straight from the shoulder In being a square shooter In everything it says and does. Perhaps that Is one of tha lessons Its members learned during their service in the army. At any rate, it Is refreshing to find a least one organization that is courageous enough to come out in the open and say its piece In plain English, without regard to whether It is going to get votes or chase them away."

We cam apply this story to our dairy business. The wise dairyman breeds his cows ta November and December, the foolish one In the summer months. As a result the wise dairyman has a heavy flow of milk In September. October and through the winter months when the price Is at Its highest. The foolish dairyman's cow freshen In the spring, when the pries Is always at its lowest. He believes that he gets cheaper milk because ha can just turn them out on the grass la the spring, whereas In the fall he has to feed them ail winter long. This la another example of false economy 1b the dairy business. The dairyman who has his cowa freshen in the fall will have a good winter occupation. He will be employed at that time of the year wheat milk is high and when he has llttls else to do. His cows will be dry In tha hot summer months when he will hava to devote a great share of his time to irrigating, caring for and harvesting his crop ; in fact this system works admirably. Now Is (he time to breed the cowa for production next fall. I an. acquainted with a man who la not milking any of his cows now. Ha rs literally poverty stricken and owea heavily at the bank. In the same locality is another man who has practically the same number of cows, and they are all fresh. They will be dry next summer. This Is one of the hundred llttls things that go to make success la dairying one of the little things that the prosperous fanner does not over- e. y o o look. Systematize your breeding operations as to have the cows freshen in tha fall. H. R. Lascelles, Field Man for the Colorado State Dairy Commissioner. so Use Grain Mixture That Adds Weight to Calves The dairy division at University farm, Minnesota, has been conducting some experimental work whereby tha dairyman who sells whole milk may find a solution for calf feeding problems. The results of the experiments Indicate that calves can be raised on a grain mixture of four parts ground corn, one part linseed meal, one part bran, and a legume roughage alfulfa hay after being weaned from their milk diet at tha early age of 50 to 60 days. The hay and grain should be placed before the calves when they are very young, the object being to get them started on dry feed as soon as possible) and to give them all the feed of this kind they will clean up. Best results are obtained by feeding the hay and grain In about equal quantities. One of the calves In these experiments was weaned at the age of 60 days and thereafter fed grain mixture and alfalfa hay. At the end of tha. trial this calf weighed 377 pounds and' was 104.1 per cent normal. Another calf weaned at the age of 45 days was raised on 461 pounds of milk and a grain mixture and alfalfa hay. At ICS days old It weighed 335 pounds and was 10C.3 per cent normal. Minnesota College of Agriculture. (.J"i ly ' Richest Milk.
