FEEDING DAIRY COWS.
(By H. C. Moore, Farmer)
In order that the dairvman may be able
to deiive the most profits from his cows, he
must understand the feeding of them. In
order to do this he must study each indivi
dual, and know the price of our feeding
stuffs If an animal is given more of a cer
tain nutrient than it can make use of, it
is worse than wasted because it takes en
ergy to expell it from the digestive system.
When it is possible, feeds raised on the
farm should be fed, but it so happens that
some feeds can be sold and others bought
to advantage, so it is necessary to study the
market value of feeding stuffs.
Every feeder knows that corn, oats, barley
and bran are good feeds for a cow, but a
great many do not know that by mixing
these in certain proportion that the feed is
made more easily digested, and thus more
profits are made.
All foods are divided into two classes
with reference to bulk Roughage and Con
centrates. Roughage includes all the
coarse portion of the ration such as silage,
corn fodder, hay, roots, etc. Concentrates
includes all grains and mill products.
Animals that run loose to get their lov
ing and never fed grain, do not necessari
ly need concentrates because their mamma
ry fiifictfons^have liot been developed," and
she can find enough nourishment in the
roughage she picks up to product milk
enough to supply the needs of her young.
But with annimals intended for the dairy,
and one that the mammary functions have
been developed more than her feeding capa
city, we must be able to feed some food that
matter than is found in roughage of course
foods.

1 TALK OX TUBERCULOSIS.
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease
caused by the tubercle bacillus, a germ.
About three thousand of these germs placed
end to end measure one inch. So one could
hardly expect to see them with the naked
eye. The only place they grow is in the
bodies of human beings and animals or in
scientific laboratories. Outside of the body
the live for weeks or even a couple of years,
but thev do not increase. Bright sunshine
kills them in a few hours. Boiling water
kills them at once. Cold does not harm
them. These germs are very fond of dark
dirty houses. In man they most often at
tack the lungs, tuberculosis of the lungs be
ing commonly called consumption. When
a person of tuberculosis spits upon the
floor of a dirty house, he lets loose about a
million germs. After this expectoration
has dried, they are easily scattered about

WARNING.
The introduction of intoxicating liquors
into this reservations or its sale to non
citizen Indians is forbidden by law under
a penalty of imprisonment for not les
than sixty days.
See Act of January 30. 1897 (29 State.
L, 506).
the floor, in the cracks, even clinging to
the walls and ceiling. A good part get mixed
up with the bedding when it is on the floor.
Dry sleeping stirs up all the quiet or harm
ful germs and gives them an opportunity
to do some damage. Houses, rooms, peo
ple and their clothing may all become in
fected. Each person who is careless about
spitting spreads more microbes about. The
weaker the person, the poorer their health,
the more chance the germs have to get the
best of them.
The most common signs or symptoms of
tuberculosis are cough and expectoration,
often the spitting of blood A cough which
does not get well in about a month should
cause some anxiety, especially if accom
panied by fever, night sweats and a steady
loss of weight. Then is the proper time to
consult a doctor and find out the condition
of the lungs. The only way to cure con
sumption is to discover it when it first be
gins.
This disease can be IikenedTto a fire in a
lumber yard. A single pail of water may
put it out at first, but after the whole lum
ber yard is blazing, an entire fire depart
ment cannot do much good. So it is with
consumption. If you wait until seven-eights
of your lungs is destroyed by tubercle bacil-
in, for no one can give you a new lung.
Plenty fresh air, morning noon, and night
night with as much sunshine as possible
is essential to effect a cure. Equally im
portant are good wholesome easily digested
food and rest for the body and mind.
If you wish to kill a sick person quickly,
shut all the doors and windows tightly,
build a good fire, get the room hot enough
to make every one sweat, be sure to have
as many people as you can get in the room
with the sick person and no doubt a few
weeks will finish whoever happens to be the
unfortunate one. I repeat if you expect to
receive any benefit from medicine, it is only
to be had at the time the disease is beginn
ing. Later it is only possible to relieve suf
ferings
The following are some of the rules used
by various scientists for the prevention of
tuberculosis:
Don't give consumption to others.
Don't let others give consumption to you.
Xo medicine has been found that will cure
consumption.
Advertised medicine often contains alco
hol, which hastens the disease.
Xo sick person can afford to take the
risk of using advertised medicine.
There are four things and only four from
which the most good is to be had, fresh air,
sunshine, good food and rest.
