GIVE THE DAIRY COW A BALANCED RATION Succulent Feeds Like Silage And Roots Are Relished By Cows In order that a cow may give a high production of milk for long pe riods of time she must be given a well balanced ration and fed regular ly. Bulky feed and concentrated feeds should be kept before the ani mal in the right proportion. The following recommendations for feeding dairy cows are made by Prof. T. G Yaxis of the Georgia State College of Agriculture Dairy cows by nature need feeds that have a certain amount of bulk. Dry feeds, grain or hay, do not meet this requirement, and bulky feeds aa silage and roots are, therefore, neces sary. In the ideal ration, both dry feeds and bulk feeds should be In cluded. The amount of dry roughage to feed should not exceed much more than one pound per one hundred pounds of live weight. The remain der should be in the form of succu lent roughage. The amount of feed to be fed should be about one pound of the grain mixture to three or three and one-half pounds of milk produced. This applies only to cows that are not very high producers. A cow m capable of consuming only a certain amount of grain and no more. Ordinarily, this would be more applicable to cows pro ducing less than fifty pounds of milk a day. There should be an abundance of feed given to cows. A cow requires u certain amount of ed to maintain her body, and she also requires a certain amount of feed for produc tion. The amount of feed in excess of that which is required for mainte nance goes into producing milk. The more milk that i produced, the bet ter the chance for profit from the cow. Feeds should be palatable. Straws of all kinds have absolutely no pala tability and it requires a great deal of the now's energy to handle them, not considering the fact that they have very little food value for producing inilk. Succulent feeds produce better re sults because cows are able to con sume larger quantities. They seem to relish and enjoy these feeds much more than if the feeds are all dry. Digestibility of the feed must always be kept in mind. There Bhould be va riety in the feed. A grain ration should consist of more than three varieties of grain in the mixture. The rule is that the greater the vari ety, the more certain one is of hav ing a sufficient amount of mineral and all the different nutrients requir ed by the animal body The ration should be balanced. The nutritive ration should by 1:4.4 to 1:6. This, in simpler words, means that for every pound of digestible protein there should be from 4.5 to 6 pounds of di gestible carbohydrates and fat in the ration. Lastly, and by no means unimport ant, is the matter of COST. The farmer should consider feeding feeds that he can raise on his farm or those that he can buy in his immediate vi cinity. GEORGIA YAMS SHOW HIGH SUGAR CONTENT 0 " Proper Advertising Should Give The Southern Product a Great Advantage Many of the sweet potatoes which Georgia is raising this year will fisd a good market in the northern and western states if they are graded and shipped in the right way. The Geor gia State College of Agriculture tried an experiment In 1917 in placing old fashioned recipes '.in the packages of potatoes and found that this was an excellent help in the mater of market ing. Northern g.own sweet potatoes do not generally contain as much sugar as the Georgia varieties and are less moist when prepared for eating. Prac tice shows that when southern or Georgia grown sweet potatoes are pre pared in the same wa that northern grown potatoes are prepared they do not make a very palatable and accept able dish. Tha recipe in potato pack ages will aid in educating housewives of other states how to prepare Geor gia sweet potatoes. Old-fashioned recipes for preparing sweet potatoes may be secured by writing the Home Economics Division of the State Col lege of Agriculture 1n Athens. HOLLOW HORN OF CATTLE. The horns of all adult horned ani mals are hollow The horn rests upon a bony core or framework which is continuous with the cavity, or sinus, of the forehead Hollow horn is not abnormal If a mature animal of the horned variety of domestic animal were found with a horn cere perfect ly solid it would be considered a monstrosity. Hollow horn is not a disease. Poring the horn of a sick cow Is at least unnecessary- It some time doet great harm. “‘H dlow horn" ks not recognized as n disease and is not found among the cattle on well regulated and well con ducted stock farm*. TO THE GEORGIA LEGISLA TURE -HOUSE AND SENATE Resolutions Adopted by the Alumnae Association ot the Geor gia Normal and Industrial Col lege, tit it-' regular annual meet ing, held dune !i, 1919. at Milledge ville. Whereas, under the operations of the laws of the State of < ieor gia. (as amended 1910) authoriz ing the appointment of members of the State University Hoard as ex-officio members of the Hoard of Directors of the Georgia Normal and Industrial College, there have been certain developments, both of a personal and official charac ter, which are quite evidently in imical to the highest interests of the Georgia Normal and Indus trial College: Be it resolved, tliat we, the members of the Alumnae Associa tion of the Georgia Normal and Industrial College, respectfully memorialize the members of the General Assembly of the State of Georgia to repeal the law, thus eliminating these ex-officio mem bers from the Hoard of Directors of the Georgia Normal and Indus trial ('ollege. He it resolved, that we further appeal to the Governor, the Gene ral Assembly, and the People of the State of Georgia, for the im mediate enactment of such laws, including an amendment to the Constitution of the State if neces sary for the purpose, as will make possible and authorize a complete re-organization of the system by which the schools of higher educa tion in the State are administered, so that each ('ollege and School in the State may be entirely free for its own individual development and democratic service to the Peo ple of the State. He it resolved, further, that we, the members of the Alumnae Asso ciation of the Georgia Normal and Industrial (’ollege, as an associa tion, and as individuals, pledge ourselves to do all in our power to bring about the carrying into ef fect the two foregoing resolutions. Mrs. Alice Parker Joseph, Mrs. Lelian Grimes, Miss Nellie Tappan, Committee on Resolutions. Attention is respectfully called to the fact that no other state in tlie United States has such a high ly centralized interlocking system of autocratic control over its in stitutions of higher education. The law of 11)10 was whollv unneces sary and passed without its full significance being clearly under stood. It is a fact that some states do have small Central Boards of con trol over their institutions, but such representative boards are for the whole state, with impartial re lations to all institutions. But other states do not allow the hoard of one institution to control the other institutions. It is very difficult for a large un wieldy interlocking expensive sys tem of board control to give the state the proper efficiency, econo my, and freedom from *'-dities. This movement originated en tirely on the motion of the Alum nae Association, who are appeal ing for principles of democratic freedom and justice in an impar tial system of State control, such jus has been tried in other states. Already, according to the news papers, the Governor, the State School Superintendent, and the Gadget Commission have admitted the need of a smaller and less ex pensive central board of eoutrol.

MOON “Meats in Storage” Every working day of the year 75,000,(XX) pounds of meat are required to supply home and export needs—and only 10 per cent of this is exported. These facts must be kept in mind when considering the U. S. Bureau of Markets report that on June 1, 1919, there were 1,348,000,000 pounds of meats in cold storage. If the meat in storage was placed on the market it would only be 20 days’ supply. This meat is not artificially withheld from trade channels to maintain or advance prices. Meats tn storage consist of— -65 per cent (approximate) hams, bacon, etc., in process of curing. It takes 30 to 90 days in pickle or salt to complete the process. 10 per cent is frozen pork that is to be cured later in the year. 6 per cent is lard. This is only four-fifths of a pound per capita, and much of it will have to go to supply European needs. 19 per cent is frozen beef and lamb, part of which is owned by the Government and was intended chiefly for over-seas ship ment. If this were all diverted to domes tic trade channels, it would be only IV2 lbs. per capita—a 3 days’ supply. 100% From this it will be seen that “meats in storage” represent merely un finished goods in process of curing and the working supply necessary to assure the consumer a steady flow of finished product.
