.Every breeder of dairy cattle
should know how to delect feeds
anfl compute a ration. Not that
separate and exact ration
should be calculated for each cow
cor his is neither necessary nor
practical. A thorough study of
the principles of feeding ano
practice in the figuring of rations
does hocveei help the feeder to
become more familiar with the
feed requirements of his cows
and the compo. it on and qualities
of the feeds thi t .an be hid at
hand
A Rood dairy ration should
meet the fol'onng requi ements:
1. It must contain a sufficient
quant'ty of f?ed to supply the di
gt stible nutrients necessary foi.
the maintenance of the normai
milk flow.
2 The relative proportions o
balance must be suited to th
needs of the cow
3. The feed must be palatable
4 The grain mixture musjt
have a fair degree of bulkiness
fi The ration should havea
slightly laxative tffct upon the
cow.
6. It should be made up of a
ariety of feeds.
7. The feeds must meet the
abov requirements most econ
omic.illy.
A cow will consume about two
pounds of dry roughage for each
nunrtred pounds live weight, or
one pound oü dry roughage and
three pound of succulent rough
age, as silage.
A good rule the t is practi jal is
to feed three pounds of silage for
each hundred pounds live weight
one pound hav for each four
pounds silage, and one pound
grain mixture per dav for each
pound of fat produced per week.
Or for the last ieed one pound
grain mixture for each three or
three and a naif pounds milk test
ing 4 per cent butter fat

Epidemic Probably
Not Spanish In
Orlaln-rrCTerm Still
Unknown Peo-

pie Should Guard Against "Droplet
Infection" Surgeon General Blue
Maker Authoritative Statement.
Washington, D. 0.( Special.) Al
though King Alfonso of Spain was
one of the. victims of the influenza epi
demic In 1893 and again this summer,
Spanish authorities repudiate any
claim to Influenza as a "Spanish" dis
ease. If .the people of this country do
not take care the epidemic will be
come so widespread throughout the
United States that soon we shall hear
the disease called "American" Influ
enza. In response to a request for definite
Information concerning Spanish influ
enza, Surgeon General Rupert Blue of
the Ü. SPublic Health Service has
authorized! the following official inter
view: What it Spanish Influenza? Is it
something' new? Does it come from
Spain?
"The disease now occurring in this
country and called 'Spanish Influen
za' resemÜletf a very contagious kind
of 'cold, accompanied by fever, pains
i '
Cougfis and Sneezes
ad Diseases
As Dangerous as Raison G33 Shells
In the head, eyes, ears, back or other
parts of the body and a feeling of se
vere sickness. In most of the cases the
symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover
ing. Some of the patients, however,
develop pneumonia, or inflammation
of the ear, or meningitis, 'and many of
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called 'Spanish' influenza is
identical with the epidemics of Influen
za of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemics of influenza have visited
this country since 1G47. It Is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics of the dis
ease. In 1889 aud "ISDO an epidemic
of influenza, starting somewhere In the
Orient, spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ
ilized world. Three years later there
wus another flare-up of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
"Although the present epidemic Is
called 'Spanish influenza,' there Is no
reason to believe that it originated In
Spain. Some writers who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front in the summer and
fall of 1917."
How can "Spanish Influenza" be rec
ognized? "There Is as yet no certain way In
which a single case of 'Spanish influ
enza' can be recognized. On the oth
er lumd, recognition Is easy where
there is a group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary emighs
and colds, which usually occur In the
cold months, epidemics of Influenza
may occur at any season of the year.
Thus the present epidemic raged most
Intensely In Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, In the case nt ordi
nary colils, the general symptoms
o J (fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are In influenza. Final
ly, ordinary colds do not spread!
through the community .so rapidly or
so. extensively as does influenza.
"In most cases a person taken sick

"In appearance one Is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick. His
eyes and the inner side of his eyelids
may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or 'con
gested,' as the doctors say. There
may be running from the nose, or
there may be some cough. These signs
of a cold maj not be marked ; never-1
theless the patient looks and feels very
eick.
"In addition to the appearance and
the symptoms as 'already described,
examination of the patient's blood may
aid the physician in recognizing 'Span
ish influenza,' for It has-been found
that In this diseas ti'2 number of
white corpuscles show$ little or no in
crease above tlie normal. J" is possi
ble that the laboratory IrJWstigations
now being made -through the National
Research Council and the United
States Hygienic Labqrafoijy will fur- ;
nish a more certain way in which indi- j
vidual cases of, this disease can be
recognized.",

What Is trie
bourse of the disease?
Do people die 9
f it?
"Ordinarily, 1 the fever lasts from
three to four days and the patient re
covers. But while the proportion of
deaths In the present epidemic has
irenerallv been low -in stome places the '
o w y - , t
outbreak has been severe and deaths
- . . -
have been numerous. hen oeatn oc
curs it is usually the result of a com
plication." What causes the disease and how Is
It spread? , J
"Bacteriologists who have studied in
fluenza epidemics in the past" have
found In many of the cases a very 1
Small rod-shaped germ called,- after Its
discoverer, Pfeiffer's bacillus: In other
cases of apparently the same kind of 1
disease there were found pneumococcl,
the germs of lobar pneumonia. Still

others have Deen causcu uy strepio-
cocci, and by others germs with long FourUl Liberty Bonds."

What should be done by those who
catch the disease?
"It Is very. Important that every per
son who becomes sick with influenzal
should l'o home at once and ro to bed.
This will help keep away dangerous j
complications and will, at the same
time, keep the patient from scattering,
the disease far aud wide. It is highly
desirable that no one be allowed to
sleep In the 3a-'me" room, with the pa-
tient. In fact,1 no" one 6ut the nurse
should be allowed In tho room.
"If there Is couh S$ Butum or
running of the eyeslirTa4 nose, care ,
should be taken that all such dis-
charges are collected on Jjlts fof gauze

If the patient complains OX fever and j
headache, he should be given water to
drink, a cold oVnpressto the forehead
and a light sponge. Only such medl -

by the doctor. Jt )s foolish to ask the
druggist to prescribe and may be dan -
gerous to taice tne so-caneu -saiu, iu
and harmless' remedies advertised by
patent medicine manufacturers.
'If the patient is so situated that lie
can bo attended only by some one who
must also look after others in the fam-
ily, It Is advisitible that such attendant
wear a wrapper, apron or gown over
the ordinary house clothes while in the
sick room and 'slip this '0 IT when leav-
ing to look after the others.
Nurses and attendants will do well
to guard against breathing in danger-
ous disease germs by wearing a simph
fold of gauze or mask while near the
patient"
WW a person who has had Influenza
before catch the disease again?
"It is well known that an attack of
measles or scarlet fever or smallpov
usually protects a person njraln.sl an-
other attack of the same disease. This
appears not toJae true of 'Spanii

authorities everywhere reeöfniso um
J very close relation between its spread
and overcrowded homes. While it Is
not always possible, especially lh
times like the present, to avoid such
overcrowding, people should consider
..e health darger and make every
fror.1 to reduce the home overcrowd-
ing 10 a niniraum. The value of fresh
air through open windows cannot bo
over emphasized.
"When crowding Is unavoidable, as
In street cars, care should be taken to
keep the face so turned as not to In
hale directly the air breathed out by
another person.
"It Is especially Important to be
ware of the person who coughs or
sneezes without covering his mouth
and nose. It also follows that one
should keep out of crowds and stuffy
piatd3 as much as possible, keep
homes, ofhees and workshons well

effort to breathe as much pure air as
possible.
