General Dawes Tells Congress
Maybe profumity never is Justified,
hut if there be occassional instances
in which it is oJiuost Justlliable one of
them is the nccussitm of u cougresslon
ul Investigation into something which
happened long ago uml for which no
body is going to !m> punished. General
Charles G> Dawes, an urmy ofllcer and
a hanker of natiouul fame, mitcrritled
by tlic austere dignity- of a house in
vestigating committee, took occasion
one day last week to tell the commit
tee exactly what he thought of It and (
its futile peecring into the past to sat- j
1 isfy its curlosty and provide a little .
political capital- Moreover he cm-
Isdllshcd his remarks with a few shots 1
of profanity indicative of the fearless j
army ofllcer and the unterrifled hanker,
j He was right, in every particular.
He and other good citizens did ilielr ,
limit at home and overseas, mid by do* i
' ing their liest made it possible for tin*

ofcaAfcYoiiul traitor here and there—
! one who couldn't ri*slst the temptation
to pick''off fut profits for himself while ,
the honest folks were up to their eyes
|in the work and couldn't watch him- J
1 hut thank God the numlier of this sort
of men was few. On the whole the ,
'nation acquitted Itself creditably nt
; home niul abroad, and no series of piff- (
ling investigations by curious congress
juien can blind the world to that fact. J
! What docs congress expect to achieve
; through its investigations? It doesn't
'expect to prove anything or to convict |
anyone; to reimburse the government
for money of which it was mulch'd by j
, fat profiteers; to bring hack the dead ‘
[who lost their lives by reason of the
cupidity of some government contrac
tor. It doesn't cx|M*ct to ucliievc any- ,
thing, in fact, except to cloud thejflor- (
lons reran! of the nation and supply a
Jlttle political ammunition. In view of
the unbroken record of fission which
three years of investigation have de
veloped. it would lie far better If con
gress would quit trifling and get down
to constructive business. We am glad
General Dawes told the committee this
and we feel no twinge of national com
I unction because in the telling he used
a group of well selected swear words. '

Ration For Dairy Cow
First: —Tho first rule of successful and
' economical feeding of dairy cows is to
give all the good roughage the cow jvlll
out. making as much use ns itossiblc of
those roughages on tin* farm. Houglin
fjw supply nutrients more cheaply than
(ftuieenirates. I>o not make a milk cow
eat too much course feed, like straw,
corn stalks, etc. I’so these for winter
ing stock cuttle. Where such foods must
|k* used, they should ls> combined with
Alfalfa or silage.
Second: —If at ail possible, provide a
Siio-ulcnt food. There is no need to Is-
Without silage in any hut the highest
altitudes in Colorado. Sunflowers wli
I make silage in altitudes where corn
will not mature, and crops like feterltn
and dwarf kaffir will produce silage
. where it is too dry even for cane or
Indio maize. Dried beet pulp run Im*
bought now very cheaply, nud when
J soaked in water before using makes nil
,excellent succulent feed for tho town:
cow.
jThird: —The cow cannot give n large
milk flow on roughage alone. Get a |
good grain mixture to balance the |
( roughage and feed it according to the
.iujlk the cow produces. Tho usual
rule is one pound of grain for each .1 1 /.*
pounds or four pounds of milk. Tills
jenn Ik* varied to suit *ne Individuality
,of tin* row. according to C. I. It ray of
:the Agricultural College at Fort Col
