THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER, THURSDAY, SEPT. 15, 1927 VrK':'"' DAIRY FACTS SELF-FED COWS , SHOW NO GAINS Setf-ftedlng dairy cows so that they got all the grain, hay and silage they wished increased the amount and cost of feed eaten by the cows without •welling their milk production in an experiment by Dr. W. B. Nevens, assistant chief in dairy-cattle feeding at the college of agriculture, University of Illinois. Results of the tests have just been published in a new bulletin, "Experiments in Self-Feeding of Dairy Cows," which the college now has ready for free distribution to interested persons. Gows used in the experiment were only of moderate dairy ability and it Burglar By CLARISSA MACKIE i> possible that self-feeding might"Someone is around!" she whlsppove useful with high-producing cows, although this point remains to be proved, Doctor Nevens said. Limiting cows to feeds containing high percentages of protein seemed to depress milk production. Since fattening cattle and swine usually gain faster when fed by the self-feeder method than when handfed, it was thought that dairy cows might produce more milk if given free access constantly to several different kinds of feeds. Eight different cows were kept in individual box stalls containing a feeder having several different hopper compartments. Supplies of grains and mill by-products were provided constantly in the compartments, and hay and silage In other larger feed boxes, so that a cow might select as much of one or several feeds at any time she chose. The cows were gradually accustomed to the method at the beginning during a two to three-week period. Surprising as it may seem to those who have found that cows become ill through overeating, no harmful results were apparent in these cows even though self-fed the year round. More feed than necessary was consumed, however, making the cost of feed greater than when the cows were hand-fed. The cows laid on additional weight, thus increasing the amount of feed necessary to maintain them. The method proved useful in studying the relative palatabllity of different feeds. Much more of some feeds was eaten than of others, and in some cases the ration consisted of only one or two feeds, even though four or more other feeds were present in the stall. A greater quantity was eaten when the feeds were offered separately than when they were mixed. Cows showed very decided preference for certain feeds, and these preferences often extended over long periods. Greater feed consumption was secured when careful attention was given to catering to the cow's likes. Not two cows had the Mime preference for all feeds. PTE EDWARDS was all alone in the big empty house. Everyone excepting herself had gone to the village fair at Oakledge, and If it had not been for a severe headache, she would have beeti toeae, too. She had chosen to lie down in the warm library, and had been asleep for several hours when the striking of the large clock awoke her. Eve yawned, closed her mouth suddenly, and raised on her elbow. She listened intently for some sound that-would betray the Intruder--when she had gone to sleep that tall lamp at the foot of the couch had been alight The thought came to her that perhaps the family had returned and had all gone to bed, forgetting that she was in the library, Amount of Water Needed for Average Milk Yield The amount of water required to produce milk will depend to a large degree upon the cow, the kind of feed given her, and the amount of milk she Is producing, size, weather conditions --whether It Is hot or cold, rainy or dry--and many other things which may arise to Increase or decrease the consumption of water, so it would not be wise to say what we would allow the eow, whether only SO pounds of water per day, or SO pounds, etc.; but It would be highly advisable to give the cows free range to pure, fresh water, and they will take care of the amount needed. Professor Eckles' of Minnesota found by experiments that a cow pro ducing 21 pounds of milk per day drank 77 pounds of water. The same animal, when dry, 4rank only pounds per day. Another cow, produc tng over 100 pounds of milk per day, used during the test period an average of 250 pounds of water. The story of these figures shows that the water requirement Is about 2.5 pounds of water per pound of milk. No doubt this is a fair average. Natural Methods Upset v in Teaching Young Calf In modern dairy farming, because of the value of w hole milk and butterfat, the dairyman upsets the natural method which the calf would follow In feeding and separates the calf from the cow soon after birth. For the pered, getting upon her fe^t. There were footsteps In the distant kitchen, the sound of running water, the clink of a tumbler. With her heart in her throat, Eve crept down the dark hall. There was a light in the kitchen and the door was ajar. A tall young man in a gray tweed suit was cutting a slice of bread at the kitchen table. He had found butter-1- meat--a cold berry pie, and was Just about to sit down when he suddenly stopped, listened, and then shot a glance at the door. For a long moment his dark gray eyes stared into Eve's blue ones, and then he spoke. "I beg your pardon--I did not know anybody was at home." Eve came into the room slowly, still holding onto the- door" handle. She planned a swift flight if necessary-- she could step back into the hall, closing the kitchen door, and thus gire herself time to escape by way of the front door. "Yes," lied Eve coolly. "We are all at home. Did you wish to see Mrs. Blalkier Re stared "Mrs. Blalkle? Why no, to tell the truth I never heard of Mrs. Blalkle. I came to see my brother, George Waldron--I am Philip Waldron of New York--but I found the house empty, and came In by the pantry window. I was hungry, yon see, and helped myself." Eve 6mlled charmingly. "But, yon see, Mr. Waldron does not live here-- he lives on the adjoining street--Willow street." The intruder stared incredulously. "You see," he stammered at last, "Tve only beeh here once before, and I was directed here by somebody I met. I do not know how to apologize--1 really feel like a burglar, you know, breaking in that way." "Do bring your tray into the library," urged Eve, her eyes sparkling with amusement, "and sit down where it is warm, Mr. Waldron." "Really, I couldn't, Mrk Blalkle," he said frankly. "I'm so embarrassed and down in the mouth, I've no appetite at all. If you can forgive me for the Intrusion--" He picked up his hat and a small traveling bag. "It is a very natural mistake," said Eve cordially, "It happens that the architecture of the two houses Is very similar, and they are very near together-- Mr. Waldron's place Is really Just around the corner." "It is a very unfortunate incident for you, Mrs. Blalkle," said Philip Waldron. "I deeply apologise for the intrusion and hope you will allow me to call with the Waldrons some time before Monday." "I shall be very glad Indeed, Mr. Waldron. Will you leave by the front door?" Eve preceded him to the front hall and opened the front door. Then she closed It behind him and locked It, and hurried to the pantry to lock that window and to peer at the Waldron house on the side street In a moment she was rewarded by t>eelng Philip Waldron's tall, straight figure marching up to the Waldrons' door. The door opened, and he was enveloped In somebody's arms. Then Eve went upstairs to dream of a pair of handsome dark eyes and a firm, decided mouth that belonged to her erstwhile burglar. The next morning, when Eve reached the breakfast table, everybody was down. Mr. Blalkle regarded his pretty sister- in-law with amusement "Heard you had a beau last night. Eve." "Why, who told you?" inquired Ere, surprised. "You were letting him out when we came down the,street," explained Mr. Blalkle. "Your headache must have been better." "It was."

Staging a Comeback Under Canadian Protection. Washington.--Eider ducks, In the tihadow of extinction, are doing a comeback, thanks to the protection of the Canadian government, according to the American Nature association. This is the duck that plucks down from her breast to keep her young warm. Arthur Newton Pack, associate edl: tor of Nature Magazine, Informed Vincent Massey, Canadian ministers he had received a telegram fom Howard H. Cleaves of the association at Wolfbay, Que^ reporting on his investigation. The telegram from Cleaves, says: "Eider ducks numerous along Canadian Labrador , coast due to excellent protection by the government 1 have seen more than 2,000 breeding birds In ten days' cruising. Hundreds of them in each of four sanctuaries sited to date. From one hilltop 1 saw 76. Nesting birds flew up on all sides. V , Icebergs Dont Bother Them. Respite lingering snow banks and |>aiiing Icebergs, some eiders have hatched. This fine bird is making wonderful recovery from shadow of extinction and with good weather there will be a large Increase this year." "This Is certainly good news," Pack wrote to Minister Massey, "and on behalf of the thousands of members of the American Nature association I want to thank the Canadian government "Elder ducks on the great breeding grounds In Labrador were nearlng extinction because of constant collection Of eggs and killing of adult birds for their feathers and down. Before 1870 vessels were fitted out In New England for this purpose. "When there were young in the nests the old birds were molting their flight quills and unable te fly. Men surrounded, drove them together and killed them with clubs, leaving the helpless young to perish. All this for feathers alone, for the birds had no food value. Import Eiderdown. "For a number of years this went on until the birds were so reduced as to make feather hunting unprofitable. During this time and ever since eggers, fishermen and settlers have destroyed both birds and eggs until the vast elder nurseries are a mere memory and we are Importing our eiderdown from the more humane people of the Old world. "In Norway and Iceland, where these birds are protected, they become almost as tame as domesticated fowls, nesting places are made in the turf or among stones and some of them even nest on the sod roofs of houses.

T Turkish Dogs Spend Summer on Boats Scutari, Turkey.--In Turkish villages along tttfe Hosporus a dog's life is that of a sailor. When a village becomes "over' hounded" with street dogs the village fathers, loath to kill, as the Koran dictates kindness to animals, charter a ferry boat; and ship a load of dog derelicts across the straits to some village on the opposite shore. The villagers on the other side ferry them back, adding a quota of their own. The original exporters retaliate, and thus a game of battledore and shuttlecock wages yearly between Europe and Asia.
