C., Jan. 4.—Gov- ernment loans on farm mortgages at low interest rates was proposed in a bill introduced by Representative creating a State pension system for needy and afflicted veterans not able to go to the Confederate home at Hig- ginsville. Resolutions submitted to Gen. George M. Jones, former commander of the Missouri Division of Confeder- ate Veterans, were adopted here’ and will be placed in the hands of all members of the Legislature within a Batherick of Ohio. The plan outlined is to attend the same object as the ‘‘rural credits’ system proposed by President Taft. The bill would provide for the es- She Is Least Wasteful Whe —Consider Her As a M To maintain the condition of early: summer is, in general, the great prob- | lem in winter feeding of dairy cows. It is entirely pessible to maintain | practically these summer conditions throughout the entire winter on any | farm when the subject is properly un- derstood and the necessary arrange: | ments inade. An abundance of palatable foed is , one condition typical of summer feed- | ing. On this point one of the most common mistakes is made in feeding | cows. We should look upon the cow, in a way, as a milk-producing ma- ; chine. We supply her with a certain amount of raw material in the form of feed, and this raw material is man- viactured into milk. The same :ule holds as in the running of any other manufacturing plant—it is run mest! economically near its full capacity. Everyone who feeds cows should know, first of all, that the animal must use a certain portion of her food | to maintain the body. This is the | first requirement of the animal, and it | is the first use to which it puts 1ts food. This is called the ration cf maintenance, and it is practically a} ‘i fixed charge. That is, it is practically | the same whether the animal is oe | ing utilized for maximum production | or is merely kept without producing | any milk at all. | It should be clear that after going to the expense of giving the animal the necessary amount to keep her alive it is the poorest economy to re- fuse to furnish the other 40 to 69 per cent, which she would utilize exelu- sively for milk production. On the | average farm this is one of the com mon mistakes made. The importance of liberal feeding for economical production can be v ily understood from the following il- lustraticn: Full Ration | \ nT SSIS | Three Quarters Ration Ration of Maintenance _—— The first line illus tes the proper feeding of a heavy-producing cow, which is usually the one undertfed. The line A to C represents the total capacity of the animal for food, er a full ration. The first half, from A to B, represents the amount of food re- quired to maintain the animat’s body, or the ration of maintenance. The second half, that portion from B to C, represents the portion of food used for the production of milk. In chis case there is no fat heing produced on the animal’s body. The cow is sup- posed io be of such dairy quality that all the feed she can consume in ex- ness of maintenance is used in milk production, The next line represents what would happen if the feed of the ani- mal was reduced one-fourth, The 1 tion of maintenance remains prac j ally the same as in the first case. The | ut of one-fourth will be seen to come ntirely on that available for milk pro- duetion, and reduces that amount one- half.

While the foregoing applies to one s of dairy cows, there is another o which it does not apply, and it to this class would lead to ser ic inistakes in feeding from an economical standpoint, This group in- cludes those of lower productive ca- pacity, which are liable to be overfed, especially when they are in the herds ¢ +ot dairymen who realize the necessity of liberal feeding. The proper feeding of this group of animals can be made clearer by the foliowing illustration.

The amount which the cow is capable of utilizing milk pro- duction is represented by that portion of the e B to C, while the animal's appetite is equal to the total line A to D. This gives a surplus, C to D, which is not utilized for milk production, but which is used for storing fat on the animal's body. We have the cow gaining in weight while she is giving milk.

It was then he celebrated his eighty-ninth birthday «Rniversary, surrounded by his family and a few intimate friends, at his home on Main street. Four genera- tions were represented at the affair, Reuben Winter, Sr., his daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Geissinger; her son Carl, and his son, Robert. Reuben Winter has been a resident | of Royersford since he was 24 years of age. For a quarter of a century he was station agent of the Reading Rail- way and postmaster of the town, hav- | ing received his first commission from | President James Buchanan. For a | half-century Mr. Winter was a direc- tor of the National Bank of Phoenix- | ville, and only resigned last year be- | cause of the necessity of making the | trip of four miles each week on the | railroad to attend the meetings of di-| | rectors. He 1s still a director in the) | Royersford Trust Company. | Reuben Winter is a self-made man, emphatically. He accumulated a com- | petency by dint of hard work and) strict economy in his younger days and through careful investments has | provided a very substantial income. For 23 years, since the Grace Luther an congregation was organized in Roy- ersford, he has been one of its most active members, a member of the offi- cial board of the church since its or- ganizaticn, and a devoted attendant at all the eervices, both of the church and the Sunday school, and every Sun- day finds him teaching his bible class. He has never been sick a day in his life and never used either tobacco or strong drink. His faculties are bril- Mant today, and barring a slight ten- dency toward weakness of sight he is as bright as ever. He readily recalls incidents in his life since he was 6 years of age, and is an acknowledged authority on dates of occurrences of | | the distant past. | On his anniversary he was the re- cipient of a handsome chair, the gift of his children, and numerous em: | | blems of flowers, one a handsome bou- | quet of 89 carnations from his chil- dren, and another a bouquet of very | | large white chrysanthemums, the gift | | of John Dismant, of Phoenixville, aged 84, a close friend. | i “SEPTUAGENARIAN TO JAIL, | Californian Aged 77 Convicted of | | Counterfeiting, Once a Dispatch | Bearer for Sheridan. | | Los Angeles.—An affecting scene | | was enacted in the federal court as! | Judge Olin Wellborn sentenced George K.

Protection of young orchards against rabbits is a inatter that can- not be attended to too early. Where orchards are valuable enough, the rab- bits may be combatited by means of rabhit-proof fences. In sections where a great’many orchards are located, by combined efforts of the growers the rabbits may be killed out in the com. munity, In a Jarge vercentage of cases, however, they will have to be combatted by protecting each indl- vidual tree There are a number cf appliances for protecting the trees against rab- bits, but probably by far the best, if not also the cheapest, is the wood veneer wrapper. ‘These are simply very thin strips of tough wood about 10 inches wide by 18 to 24 inches high that are wrapped around the trees, The best ones have the base of the wrappers treated with a preparation to prevent rotting. The wood veneer wrapper, before being used, should always be moist- ened so it will wrap around the tree without splitting. The wrappers are then placed around the trees with the base pressed closely against the soil and are fastened with small wires. The wires should be cut the proper length before going ‘nto the orchard. The ends of the wire are given only one twist. Sometimes one wire is used and sometimes two. These wood veneer wrappers are beneficial also in protecting the trees against borers. So, after they are put on it is well to mourd the soil up about two or three inches around the base. Co; of the veneer wrapper is to be recom- mended in nearly all cases. The cost of the wrapper will vary from $4 to $6 a thousand, depending on the height. The usual price is $5 a thou- sand for wrappers 20 inches high. They may be secured from almost any box and basket company. Probably the next most important means of protection again rabbits is the use of heavy wrapping paper. This paper should be in strips about 20 inches wide and shor!d be wrapped around the tree in at least two thick- nesses extending to the ground at the base. It should be tied at the top, WITH MACHINERY SHED. rat-proot, ; few days. ground, making the bin 2 | She was married to Isaac Holt. Miss Hach post is made of three 2x$s, 10 bottom and middle.
