Every Family Should Keep
A Dairy Cow To Help
Decrease High Cost Of Living
Dr. Andrew M. Soule, State College Of Agriculture
The dairy cow was never a greater
(factor in the health of the nation
,than at the present time. Never in
our history probably have edible fats
(been scarcer or higher than they are
at present. Unfortunately there Is no
irelief in sight for a considerable per
iod of time because European dairy
herds suffered more as a result of
the war probably than any other class
of animals. This was due not only
to their destruction over large sec
tions of the invaded territory, but to
;the fact that fodders were sto scarce
and high in price that many dairy
cows had to bo slaughtered. It also
happened that the cows kept could
not be fed sufficiently well to stim
ulate milk production, and it will be
some months before a return to any
thing like 1 normal conditions in the
matter of feed supplies can be ox
peeled.
It will lie interesting, even though
astonishing news to our. people,
know that while England baa lost
million men in (he war she has in a
measure offset this tremendous loss
by taking better care of the moth
and bubies during ihe war period
than she did in peace times. This
seems to be an anomalous situation
and at first apparently unexplainable.
It would indicate on the surface that
England has apparently not. diminish-

people are not earning sufficient
money, nor will they ever be able to
earn sufficient to buy and use milk
and dairy products in the amount
which would be possible If they kept
a cow. They are under the impres
sion that if they spend more of
their money for meat and other so-
called concentrated and, relatively
speaking, difficultly digestible / foods
they are doing the right and proper

As to the feed, a word of suggestion
to those who have cows on hand and
who live either on the farm or in
our small towns and cities and
wondering just at this time how and
what to feed the cow to maintain her
most economically. It is true that
feeds are very high, therefore we
should figure on purchasing those
which supply the largest unit of nu
trition at the lowest cost. In the
matter of concentrated foods, cotton
seed meal has been considered the
most economical. However, peanut
iueal, as it now comes on the market,
will run it a close second, and velvet
bean meal will stand about third. The
question is. may these concentrates
be ijsetl -separately or in combination
to advantage? The an?
Cottonseed meal should

in larger amounts than 4 to 5 pounds ,

all the protein she needs. She will

element as if we fed her three times I

WORK ON HIGHWAY
TO START AT ONCE
Since Douglas county's allotment of
$15,000 of Government funds has been
made, everything will soon be in readi
ness for actual work to begin.
Mr. Gresham, chairman of the Coun
ty Commissioners, informs us that
work will start as soon as a govern

not be later than April 15th.
MIDWAY
WAR DEPARTMENT CONSIDER.
ATE
With the continued request of wid
ows add mothers of the heroes who
gave their lives for their country on
the' battlefields of France, to bring tha
bodies of their dead back to the United
States, a committee of War Depart
ment officials has been appointed to
investigate records and perhaps visit
the battlefields of France, with a view
to Carrying out the sacred trust.. In
vestigation so far has disclosed that
the bodies of many who were buried
unde battle conditions were not em
balmed, and to remove them would
jeopardize the health of soldiers who
would have the duty to perform.
With the consent of many parents and
relatives^ a plan is being outlined to
create a Field of Honor for the soldier
dead who will remain in France—a
sacred spot.”fashioned along the lines

Cemetery, located just across th Poto

NEW VICTORY STAMPS
The new Victory Stamp commemo

World War, has just been issued by
the Postoffice Department. The de

being the same size and a light purple

and took from him his wife and little

We knew her as a lovely, sweet
girl, devoted to her church and Sunday
school. She united with us at Cen

We ar submissive to Him that doeth
all things well. We express our heart
felt sympathy to her loved ones.
Do not grieve for Elma and the

in Christ shall come forth to meet
Him.
Thy gentle voice now is hushed,thy

young and innocent brow is resting
death’s cold chill. With thy babe
clasped in thy armes, sleep on dear
Elma until the resurection morning.

IN MEMORY
The death angel visited the home
of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Miles at Wins
ton, Ga., December 5th,1918 and called
to rest their son, John Marion Miles,
aged 18 years.
For many years Marion was unable
to walk and in delicate health, but he
bore his affliction with great patience
and always had a pleasant word for
those about him.
His patient spirit, loving, uncom
plaining disposition compelled the
higest respect and esteem of all that
knew hm.
Besides his parents he leaves two
brothers and foursisteres, the older
brother who has been living in Flori
da for a number of years, and other
relatives and scores of friqfnds to
mourn their loss.
May the consolation of the gospel
comfort the hearts of the bereaved
ones, and may the joy of his Lord be
their strength.
