ARTICHOKES deserve a more
frequent appearance on our
menus. They are easy to prepare
and add a note of real distinction
to the meal. Soak in cold, salted
water for five minutes. Drain,
place compactly in pot and cook
slowly in boiling, salted water until
terrier. Serve as vegetable or salad
with mayonnaise dressing.
Keeping comfortably warm when
the mercury persistently hovers in
the lower half of the thermometer
is a matter of diet as well as of
proper clothing and close attention
to the furnace. The carbohydrates,
particularly sugar, are nature's
great fuel foods, providing the body
with internal warmth.
Dr. 0. J. Baggarly optometrist

He will make a careful examina

WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, GEORGIA
DAIRY
ai'PACTSjH
WHEAT IN RATION
FOR DAIRY COWS
Specialists Advise Its Use,
for Good Results.
Wheat may be substituted for corn
in the dairy ration and good results
obtained provided not more than 30
per cent of the ration Is supplied by
this inexpensive grain, say dairy ex
tension specialists in the department
of anlrnal husbandry at the Ohio State
university.
The following rations, they state,
make good combinations to feed with
silage and alfalfa If wheat and soy
beans are available: Corn and cob
meal 300 pounds, wheat 200 pounds,
oats 100 pounds, and soybeans 100
pounds. Their second suggestion Is
corn and cob meal 400 pounds, ground
wheat 800 pounds, oats 200 pounds,
cottonseed meal 100 pounds, and soy
beans 100 pounds. Still another ra
tion consists of 800 pounds of corn
and cob meal, 200 pounds of wheat,
100 pounds oats, 100 pounds wheat
bran, and 100 pounds cottonseed meal.
It Is best to vary the amount of pro
tein In the grain ration with the rough
age available. With clover and allage
50 to 100 pounds of high protein feede
such as cottonseed meal, linseed oil
meal, soybean oil meal, gluten, etc.,
should be added to each of the three
suggested rations. Only those high
protein feeds furnishing the most per
dollar invested should be purchased.
With mixed hay, 100 to 150 pounds of
high protein feed are best added to
the rations, and If timothy hay and
silage are fed It is well to use from
150 to 250 pounds of high protein
feeds with the rations.
All grains, the specialists believe,
should be ground coarsely or finely
cracked. Fine grinding Is neither nec
essary nor desirable.
Grass in Early Spring
Not Sufficient for Cow
“How nany Wisconsin cow testing
association members have given the
grass a fair start in spring, before
turning their cows out to graze on
It?" asks A. J. Cramer, superintendent
of the state’s testing associations.
He points out that the average cow,
giving 25 to 30 pounds of milk dally,
requires 20 to 25 pounds of dry matter,
and since grass in the spring is about
nine-tenths water, a cow would have
to gather 200 to 250 pounds of grass
dally, to maintain herself adequately.
"Foraging at this rate is liniwejtble:
the dairy cow should be fed supple
mentary grain, along with early pas
turage, If she Isn’t to be underfed,
while the pasture grass Is still imma
ture,” he declares.
Cramer recommends sweet clover
pasture as one remedy, but even then,
some grain should be fed, he says,
even as little as three pounds daily
often greatly Increasing the milk re
turns.
If the pasture Is good, he gives as
a good grain mix—l(X) pounds corn
meal, 100 pounds ground oats and 100
pounds wheat bran; and If the pasture
tends to be poor, a mixture of 200
pounds corn meal, 200 pounds ground
oats, 100 pounds wheat bran, and 100
pounds oil meal.
Cows and Cold Weather
A subscriber from. Nebraska tells
us that when cold weather set In his
cows dropped from 25 to 80 pounds of
milk a day to 10 to 15 pounds a day.
He also made some changes In feeding
at about the same time cold weather
set In. This Is quite a drop In milk.
Cold weather and changes in feeding
are undoubtedly responsible for at
least a part of the reduction In milk.
Cows that are accustomed to being
comfortably housed during the winter
months are not tn condition to stand I
stormy, cold outside temperature and
conditions that nre a normal part of
winter. One cannot turn feeds Into
milk efficiently with cold air and ice
water. Cow barns need not be warm
er than 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit
for cows. There Is a lot of difference,
however, between 45 degrees Fahren
heit and zero temperature. Try it
yourself. Don’t blame the cow If she
objects to too much cold air.—Hoard's
Dairyman.

Carelessness In feeding Increases
milk production costs.

A MAY DAY PARTY
"Il ho bids us ftnne unih nimble fee: ai d snuff ing finger tips—
-7 am the Spring, the Spring, the Spring with laughter on my lips!”’
TO have a most delightful May Day Party the
hostess need only contact the underlying
gaiety which bubble up in everything and
everyone at this delicious time of year.
Let her fill her house with lb vers paper
flowers will do nicely and the Ten Cent Store
will prove an abundant source of :upply. Hut
as she must have hundreds of posies to scat
ter through living room, dining room, halls
and chambers, she will do well to make
some herself. They are surprisingly easy
to fashion, and pamphlets n flawer-umking
may be had at any sfati n-r's. Scent the
flowers with a bit of cotton dipped in a good
violet water and thrust deep into their paper
hearts.
Trills and Warblings
Singing birds may be borrowed for the
evening—and a consideration from a bird
store or pet shop, and stood or hung about
in their little wooden cages to further the
illusion of a spring day with their trills
and warblings.
Do not permit the guests to come empty
handed—too many flowers are impossible at
a May day party, so suggest that each par
ticipant do his bit —you might suggest it
tactfully by wording your invitation like
this—
Pink and white spring flowers

Come bring them to a neighbor's house
The first night in May!
PS. The party begins at eight o’clock.
If you have a large room for dancing, rig
up a May Pole in the center. It is easily
done by means of a clothes pole thrust into
a Christmas tree holder. Paint the pole a
lovely color, a warm Italian pink for in
stance, and wind about it a garland of gay
flowers and green leaves.
A Flower Hung Bcwer
In one corner of the room a little bower
may be arranged for dispensing cool drinks
to thirsty dancers, and the bower itself may
be very pretty and decorative. Attach a
three-cornered canvas to the picture molding
in one corner of the room so as to form a
small triangular-shaped booth — an old

The May Day Supper should be a dainty

Lobster Cutlets Creamed Peru
Hot Biscuit
Jellied Fruit Salad
Macaroon Ice Cream in Baskets

tuce leaves. Serves eight.
Ma' aroon Ice Cream in Sponge Cake Bas

dies may be cut in the baskets.*
