DON'T SIT DOWN TO SAVE:— Having a flume a* lung as a whiplash, the National Emergency Food Garden commission is cracking it cheerfully, as much to encourage the . as to warn it. Every woman will be giateful lor, ■ President Peck's asurar.ee that she "needn't stop wearing a flower in her hat or a hit of lace about her neck." “Our allies do not want the flower , from your hat or the la; e from your neck. They want just a little of our food. That is the place for conserva tion now. “Let all go to it as never before and keep business going as usual, for that ( is a mighty good slogan. Jl’he Na-i tfonal Emergency Food Garden com ’ mission wants to help you to pro-j duce food X o. b. the kit; hen dour | and thus relieve ' the railroad of transportation of food for home con j sumption as much as possible in or-.] der that they may do other Thingsi for the government. In other words. I do not let hysteria and hoarding be ' mistaken for thrift." Sound advice. The best thought! Americans can carry in their heads just now is the thought that the country, ineluding industry and business. has a job ahead that needs mus-. de. A maximum of exercise and i good spirits in all direction is abso- j lately necessary if we are to keep in condition.

Miller of -fudianaiolis means the tailing from life of one of the state’s greatest public men. He served as attorney general of the United States under President Benjamin Harrison and during l.i four years in that high office is said to hav; argped more important qu s tions than have been handled by any attorney general before or since He was a great lawyer and citizen and in long life was one of usefullness. It is an easy matter to get ipto a red-hot discussion these days, but what's the use?

FARMER FEED EXPERTS. (Nauoiial Cr»> lmpr<«vMu<nt MnU'* I A farmer who has devoted his lifetime to the study vt feedlug generally has more succesv through #ls common seuae luethuds thau any sclentlth ■ nalyals can supply. If such a feeder could have, on hand all of the in gredlents (moat by-products of cereal manufacture), which according to the market al tl»e time would be more economical, he could, through his experience, be very successful in mixing his feeds. But the difficulty with the average man is to maintain an economical ration from the products of bis own tariu. He may be au expert, if'be chooses to study out a new ration every time the market changes, but he generally prefers to let soYneone who makes a business of mixing feeds do it for him. No doubt the majority of users of mixed feeds begin to buy it because of a shortage of forage and grata crops on the farm. If such a man will keep books he will find that as a usual thing the use of mixed stock feed is a mere mat ter of arithmetic whether he could buy the ingredients cheaper than he could buy them in a so-called "balanced" ration. MUST TASTE GOOD. IN*; iunal Crop IniprovMuent San ice. 1 A dairy ration must, of all things, be palatable so that a cow will eat it. It must be bulky and coarse so as to avoid indigestion and sickness. It must contain a variety of foods so that the cow will not tire of it or get off tier feed. It must conttiu enough real protein—all protein is not alike. It must contain tiie right amounts and kinds of mineral substances necessary to life, health and milk secuj tion. It must be highly digestible. Many feeds are only about fifty to sixty per cent digestible and the work of excreting so much waste matter ia costly in that it uses up the energy of the food to do it. SUCCESSFUL FEEDING. (Xatioi al Crop linjirovement Service. | It is most significant and probably the best argument for mixed feeds when it is considered that a large number of the most prominent and skilled men in America have discarded their own mixed feeds and rations because they have found a satisfactory brand of feed which will make as much milk at less cost and no trouble and, above all. keeps cows iu perfect health. Many agricultural schools and experiment stations use and have used them for the same reason. * You can verify this by writing to any experiment station and they will give you the names of mixed brands which are best adapted to your purpose. FIVE POUNDS OF MILK ON ONE POUND OF GRAIN. [National Crop liuprovwuent Seme*. I C. H. Packard, of Delavan. Wisconsin. a progressive and practical dairy man. was not satisfied with his ration of home-grown feed. Although he mixed his ration with brains and it seemed to be theoretically correct, he thought he would try out his own mixture in comparison with a first class dairy feed. Much to his surprise he found that he could save about five lbs. of grain per cow per day arid nearly 5 cents per cow. He figured his own grain at prices much below the wholesale market and bought his mixed feed at retail. Also when his ration was figured according to Armsby or Energy method his mixed feed proved to be tho right combination to make a balanced ration with his own farm roughage. EXPENSIVE PASTURE. [S'atunol ; rop Improvcinkn; S*r. * 1 When you stop to consider that an acre of pasture will feed a cow. but that that same acre will raise ten tons of silage during the time the cow is feeding on it. it would seem that a grass cafeteria would be the most-ex-pensive way to feed your stock. MORE FEED, MORE MILK. [Naiiou«l .Iw'Y'Mueiit SiTvice.] Cows of a decided dairy type will return the greatest profit when fed to their full capacity.—Nebraska Experiment Station. [Natianal < rop liuproveincnt MenriqaJ Ordinarily, silage will correct the tendency to costiveness. When it is not sufficiently effective for this purpose. add enough old process oil meal to keep the droppings moderately soft, but not necessarily loose. Usually all that Is needed is to increase the allowance of concentrates. There are always two sides to every question. If tho government insists on more bran in flour, bossy will have to turn to still more artificial bran. Wheat bran is a dear feed. Barley and rye by-producis are more economical.
