Historical Research.

The pupils in one of the schools of Indianapolis are from time to time in their history lesson providing their teacher with answers to her questions on the subjects under consideration that are worthy of the distinctive name of “howlers,” a term recently adapted from Great Britain. Here are some that she has recently added to her collection: Question—Who aided Columbus on his voyages? Answer —Patrick Henry of Virginia. Question —What part did Georg. ■ Washington play in the Revolutionary war? Answer—-He played in the band. Question —What were the relations of Capt. John Smith to the Indians? Answer —He was related to the Indians because he married Pocahontas.

To Save the Towels.

I kept discovering little holeg, In my towels and had no idea how they got there till I saw my husband wiping his razor blade on them, says a correspondent of the New York Sun. He never cut through, but" he was apt-to cut a thread in spite of his care, and in the next washing the hole appeared. I took some old towels, hemmed several small pieces about the size of a handkerchief. sewed a loop to the corners, and keep one of them all the time hanging on u hook by the shaving mirror. Since he began to use these I have found no more holes in the towels.

Baked Bananas.

Take strips from bananas and brush the tops with melted butter, add onehalf cupful of water in the pan In which they are to tfe baked. Bake for 25 minutes in a moderate oven.

DOUBLE DUTY

A Dairy Ration Has Two Main Uses— Life and Product. Rational Crop Improvrmant Service] A ration is divided Into two parts: 1. The part needed to maintain or keep the animal alive. , 2. The part needed to make stored up material like wool, fat, meat or milk. Milk is roughly in solids, one-third each casein (protein), fat and sugar. The casein in milk can only be furnished by the protein in the food. The fat and sugar may be derived from eitheb protein, fat or carbohydrates. If a cow has the ability to give 50 pounds of milk containing two pounds of casein, and only gets enough protein to make one pound of casein, .then.she will-only give 25 pounds of milk. A balanced ration Is one that has just the exact amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates that the cow needs. Just what this is we cannot ever say exactly, because the amounts vary from week to week and no two cows are alike, nor are feeds alike. A practical ration is one that has sufficient protein and enough total food to make the greatest amount of milk without the cow losing weight. A'commercially successful ration is the one that makes the most milk or profit, keeps the cow healthy and enables the use of the most roughage. All the hay and ensilage . . cow can eat will keep her alive and make about 15 pounds of milk. Any more milk has to come from grain or grain feed. The farm can usually raise carbohydrates cheap in the fbrmof hay and ensilage, and, outside of clover, peas, etc., protein can usually be bought cheaper than It can be raised. The average price of protein feeds with 20 per cent digestible protein was about >25 to $35 per ton before the war, but the prices are much higher now, while hay (clover) with 5% per cent digestible protein" has been rated at $lO per ton, so the protein feed at S4O would furnish protein about the same as clover at $lO.

DIFFERENT COWS, DIFFERENT FEEDS.

[National Crop Improvement Service.] No suggestions that we can offer nor any other formula that can be made can be followed to the letter as a druggist follows the prescription of a physician. Feeds vary In their nutritive values, some being better than the average and some not as good, and cows vary in their ability to digest and transform nutriment. These conditions make it necessary for the feeder to use a good deal of judgmeht and not follow too blindly the suggestions of others. Any good stock feed is recommended as a base, to be supplemented by home-grown roughage.

CONCENTRATES FOR RATIONS

Taken From an Article by E. S. Savage, Professor of Animal Husbandry, New York College of Agriculture. [National Crop Improvement Service.] A good rule to follow in all rations is to have at least three plants represented in the ration. There are seven factors which should be considered: (1) Bulk, (2) Digestibility, (3) Relation between the digestible protein and carbohydrates and fat, (4) Variety, (5) Suitability of the feeds to the animal and product, (6) Palatabillty, (7) Cost. ■ As an example, choosing the cheapest feeds relatively, considering manurial values, suitability and all, we would recommend the following mixture of grains as suitable for dairy cows at present prices: 600 pounds distillers dried grains. 400 pounds gluten feed. 300 pounds wheat bran or brewers dried grains. . 400 pounds hominy feed. 300 pounds cottonseed or oil meal.

SALT FOR CATTLE.

[Nation,! Crop Improvement Service.] Professor Henry says that a cow requires three-quarters of an ounce per day per 1000 lbs. of weight and six-tenths of an ounce per day per 20 lbs. milk.—Therefore, a cow which weighs 1200 lbs. and gives 30 lbs. milk should have 1.8 ounce salt. It must be remembered, however, that salt is generally included In high-grade dairy feeds: It Is well to give cows access to extra salt. They will take what their roughage demands.

THE PRICE OF FEED.

[National Crop Improvement Service.] * • ? Feed is handled on a smaller margin than coal, ton for ton. The retail feed dealer who buys in carload lots can sell as cheap as the manufacturer can in less-than-carload lots, L the difference in freight rates being the dealer’s gross profit. In nearly every instance, a group of farmers can order their feed, through a dealer, in carloads and make a material saving. The difference in freight alone will show a good profit. ,—_Y_

Take the chill Off the drinking water In cold weather and cows will drink more and produce more. Don’t figuretbb fine on rations, Be liberat button’to ver feed. You can kill all of your proii t by feeding more than the cow can assimilate. m • (Nationci Crop Improvement Service.] The human element In dairy feed Is important. Two men may have the same equipment, one make good money, the other fail, while both are supposed to be feeding by the same system and the same tables. Horse sense is good cow sense.

WISE AND OTHERWISE

Ybu can’t tell which way a ' train has gone by its track. Some men consider an ounce of graft worth more than a pound of honesty. She is a wise woman who has her way while her husband believes he is boss. Don’t think too much of your own methods. Other people may be right' about them. When a man shows a Christian spirit in an argument things are coming his way. Some men are born, great and otflers roll up their trousers and wade right into greatness. Don’t think because a word to the wise is sufficient that people will be eager to speak to you. A woman’s yords are the milk and her meshing is the cream That slowly* comes to the surface.

DON’TS FOR HOUSEWIVES

Here is some excellent advice for housewives: Don’t use the cheapest tubing for connecting portable lamps, heaters or other appliances. The best grade is the most economical in the long run. Don’t forget to turn off your, gas iron when through using it Don’t allow dirt or rubbish to collect under your room heater or stove. Don’t hang clothing over your room heater or radiator in order to dry it. Don’t let your room heater be placed too near wooden partitions or other ‘Combustible material. Don’t forget to turn off the gas at the fixture when through with appliances which are connected with flexible tubing. Don’t let your water heater burn any longer than is necessary to heat the water needed. Don’t attempt to light an automatic Instantaneous water heater without first turning off the main gas cock. Don’t ever search for a gas leak with al lighted match or other open flame, and don’t hesitate to call up your gas company when you want advice or help.

A Soap Suggestion.

Someone has said that if a little sugar is added to the soap when washing the hands it greatly increases the power of the soap, making it specially useful in removing obstinate dirt and ■tains. -■ •--- _L

Short of Blankets at Great Lakes Recruiting Station.

There are nine thousand naval recruits at the Great Lakes naval recruiting station near Chicago. of these are iboys, and so many have ■been received that a sub-station outside of the regular station has been added. It is called the Paul Jones Naval Station! B. J. Jarrette visited his son Fridav at the Great Lakes station and found that Wade had a very bad cold. This was true of a great many of the boys and is due to the fact that not enough blankets have been furnished. The Iboys double up every way possible but the cold weather/has been so severe that the lack of proper bedding has been keenly felt. In many of the tents there is no floor and unless conditions are improved many of our lads are in danger of contracting pneumonia. *
