Its mostly tradition, and not facts, that leads many dairymen to believe that the quality of milk depreciates When the cows are turned from the dry feed of the stable to the succulent green feed of the pasture. ' Yet we have a few dairymen and many consumers who believe this, says 'Fed M. Oaig of the animal husbandry department at the North CarWe have Just olina state college. completed a test with nine cows in the herd here at the college which shows that Instead of the animals giving a lower quality of milk in the spring, it is materially richer in bu- tterfat Last winter. Professor Haig select- ical composition of fresh fruits have been issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. Data on 67 kinds and varieties of fruits and 31 fruit juices are included in this compilation by Charlotte Chatfield and Laura I. McLaughlin of the departments bureau of home economics. Reliable analyses printed In this and other countries and unpublished data federal and .state from laboratories were used as the basis of these figures, and specialists in fruit production and handling were consulted regarding them. It is believed that these figures more nearly represented the composition of fruits now grown and marketed in this country than any other extensive list of analyses heretofore published. Fuel Value, Protein, carbohydrates, and all the other chemical constituents are given in percentage of the edible portion of each fruit Fuel value appears as calories per pound and per 100 grams. In making the tables particular care was taken to determine what part of, the fruit was considered refuse in making the analyses, and to designate the refuse percentage as skin, seeds, or other Inedible portion. As a further aid to accuracy, the botanical as well as the common name is given for each fruit For varieties that differ markedly in composition or for types grown in different localities, separate averages are given. .Under apples, for instance, are figures for early, medium, and late varieties, as well as an average for all varieties. The averages for peaches grown in Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland, and New Jersey bring out interesting differences in sugar content. ed nine cows and fed them cottonseed hulls as the sole roughage for a period of ten weeks. No succulent feed was given during the period. The average daily milk production was 201.0 pounds testing 4 64 per cent fat The cows were then changed from the hulls to corn silage and hay and, after giving time to accustom themselves to the change, the same data was again collected. With this feed, each cow of the nine produced 209.1 pounds of milk per day testing 4.88 per cent fat.

Muscovy Ducks Favored To Secure Best Results From Bull Feed Wisely In order to secure the best results with the bull, it is necessary that he be fed very carefully in order that he does not become too fat and sluggish, therefore a poor breeder. In feeding the mature bull, a very satisfactory grain ration can be made up of: One hundred pounds ground corn, 50 pounds wheat bran, 40 pounds oats, ten pounds oilmeai, five pounds bonemeal. It is not cften that the bull will need more than two to four pounds of such a grain mixture per day before he is put to service. A bull when in service will probably require a pound of such a grain mixture per day for each 100 pounds of live weight; therefore. If he weighs 1.500 pounds he would require 15 pounds of grain per day if in good condition ; but if thin, would probably require 18 to 20 pounds per day while being used. Mature bulls should have just enough grain to keep them in good, vigorous condition hut not too fat. Mature bulls often become slow breeders when they become fat. As a general thing a limited amount of corn silage may be allowed to the mature bull, but generally not over a half feed, such as 15 or 20 pounds per day. Along with the silage a mature bull can usually have all the alfalfa or clover hay he will eat without waste. Most authorities claim that two-year-o- ld heavy feeding of silage makes the bull a slow breeder. No Mental Handicap May Have Secret of in Defective Speech Famous Violin Maker Composition of Fruit Is Shown by Arkansas Breeder the first to raise Muscovy ducks in this part of the country. My neighbors were astonished to see them sitting on the top of fences or In the loft of my barn. Feeding and laying habits of Muscovy ducks are much like that of chickens. It is not necessary to confine them each morning to get their eggs, as is often the case with other ducks," writes B. G. Roberts of Arkansas in Cappers Farmer. They begin laying In February and often will lay until cold weather if not allowed to become broody. Like the goose they feed mostly on grass and other green matter and do not require much concentrated feed. Those who object to the noise made s by other varieties of ducks prefer for they quack only when badly frightened. The drakes can made no noise at all except a hissing sound. The young ducks are easy to raise. After they are 38 hours old I feed stale bread soaked in sweet milk. This is scon changed to a ration consisting of two parts wheat bran, two parts slfcrts, one part yellow corn-meand a small amount of beef scraps. I feed this three to five times a day.

Long wool types of mutton sheep make good mothers. Many educators have held that stut- tering is an evidence of psychopathic and that traits in the mental make-up- , the child who stutters is handicapped in his educational progress. But according to recent tests made by Dr. Elizabeth D. McDowell of Columbia university, the fault of stuttering in a pupil carries with it no lessening of ability. Doctor McDowell experimented with 7,138 school children, making tests to indicate the comparative standing in intelligence of stutterers and nonstutters, school achievement, emotional adjustment, physical fitness, and various speech defects. She found that the stuttering pupil had as high intellectual capacities as the normal child, that his vocabulary is Just as good, and that physically he is better off. It was even found that a stuttering child could rattle off e peas many words in a else. riod as anyone three-minut- Engraved Law of Atlten Fifteen acres of old Athens are to be uncovered and one of the Interesting developments anticipated is the uncovering of the Royal Stoa, believed to contain the stone tablets on which were engraved the laws of Athens. It Is also expected to uncover the Agora, which was the market place and which is said to have been surrounded with beautiful buildings of stone all richly carved. It is necessary to acquire a great deal of the property on the surface before this work can be started, but the machinery has already been set in motion and it will not be long before the work of excavation will be commenced. - One Way and Billy were playing with Bobby the new kitten.

Mother stopped this and questioned the boys. Well, mother, we were just trying to make a cat out of it, said Bobby. . Served It Purpose The Assistant I see you sold that new Paris model suit.
