It was with thia sort of a feeling that the audience left the Central opera house after the performance of St. Elmo last Sunday evening. Such loud talking, whistling •ad general disorder as was displayed by a few pin heads all but put the •how out of commission. The mem bers of the company, which presented the piece herte on Sunday nightj de­ clared, after the show, that they had traveled all over the United States but never before played in a town where sueh general disorder was al­ lowed to prevail during a performance. Now isn't this a grand reputation for McHenry? Isn't this excellent com- pliaK-ti! for those who^e business it is to wee that order prevails in public places? Doesn't this reflect high credit to the village authorities? There is SO u4 talking, it^js high time to start a reform move in McHenry afid start it at once. A few children, seemingly under the influence of liquor, were responsible for the turmoil. Now, Isn't that awful? Just think of it, kind readers, and those who are interested in the future welfare of McBenry, children, under the influence of liquor, being responsible for disturbance at a Sunday night performance. The man­ ager of the Central informs us that he pays the village a license of $25 an­ nually. He is not only paying this license, but is a tax payer, and also pays a big rental for the playhouse, only to have his business ruined by a few sixteen to twenty-year-old' chil­ dren. We say children for the reason that they surely act the part and since they have not as yet reached their ma­ jority we believe that we are classing them rightly. Manager Smith also informs us that the village does not give him the police protection that he believes himself to be justly entitled to. We will say right here and now, that unless there is a change made for the better McHenry will be given a. jolt from which she will not recover so TTT- 1 A VUUU* V* C WkU DOC tuc iiauu n vu the wall now and we suggest that the authorities see that the village laws are mote strictly enforced in the future.

CANDIDATE FOR VILLAGE CLERK. l'hru the solicitation of a number of IMf friends, I hereby announce myself aa candidate for the office of village olerk. J. W. BONSLETT. 36 A good feeder of dairy cows, like a good fireman on. a locomotive* must understand his business. It is quite easy to keep up steam when it is run ning empty, but the test comes when it is heavily ldaded. Then the ex­ perienced fireman knows how to get the most out 6f' the fuel he uses. No matter how good the cow, she will not give the best returns for the feed con­ sumed if the feeder does not know how to feed her properly. This requires practice, study v a lot of good common sense and a knowledge of cows and feeds. The lack of a knowledge of feeds may be welL/illustrated by the following incident: While inspecting the dairy herds of a certain state, a farm was visited where nine or ten cows were kept. These cows produced about eight gallons of milk daily. They were fed six or eight ears of corn and all the corn stoyer they eould eat. In this case, owing to the ignorance of the feeder, the cow was expected to do the impossible---make something out of nothing. Quality and quantity must each be carefully considered in mak­ ing up a ration. The materials, found in milk mast be supplied.in the proper amounts in the feed. The cow has no magic power whereby she can change carbohydrates into protein or casein into milk. Therefore, feeds contain­ ing the proper amounts of protein, carbohydrates and fats must be given if the best results at the pail owe looked for. The cow will first use what materials she needs to maintain her body and supply the energy to make milk. This will probably require sixty per cent of a good ration. What she receives above this she .will use in making milk to the best of her capacity. Her capacity for production is greater than that of any other farm animal. In­ stances are on record where she has produced the equivalent of twenty-five pounds of meat in one day. Her pro­ duction varies more widely than that of any other farm animal, from nothing to the figures given above. This vari­ ation is due to three things--the char­ acter, the care, and the feed. This emphasizes the fact that cows should be fed according to their capacity to produce, if they are be fed most economically. The cow that will give ten pounds of milk should not be fed the same as one that will give forty pounds of average milk, because the demand upon her system is not so great. It requires careful study on the part of the feeder before he can properly adjust the ration.'*© the needs of his animals, and the man who is not willing to give these things the atten­ tion they may require has little busi­ ness handling dairy cattle. Most of the feeds grown on our farms donot contain a sufficient amount of protein to make good dairyfeeds alone. They.are not properly balanced and it FOR VILLAGE CLERK. •' Jfbru the request of some of my mends I take the pleasure to announce myself as candidate for the office of village clerk at the coming election.

MEAD is the business of the feeder to so com­ bine-them with other feeds that the proper nutrients will be supplied in the proper proportions. The common practice has been to»purchase such feeds as bran, brewers1 grains, cotton­ seed meal, gluten feed, etc., which con­ tain a high percentage of protein. A few yeras.ago these by-products were cheap and some of them were even run into the streams to get rid of them. Since that time their value has become common knowledge and the price has gone up rapidly until at the present time the cost of some of them is almost prohibitive. Dairymen are now cast­ ing about for a cheaper source of pro­ tein, something which they can grow on their farms. The greatest promise in this respect seems to be in the leguminous rough­ ages. Red clover hay, fed with corn, our cheaper feed, is only sufficient for low production, but it helps out con­ siderably in supplying protein.' Alsike clover contains more protein and will replace more purchased feeds than red clover, but it does not yield quite as well. Best results are obtained by growing them together. • Cowpea hay contains more protein and if fed with corn, or better, with silage, will sup­ ply protein for more moderate produc­ tion. Better than any of the above named feeds is alfalfa hay, which will supply plenty of protein for reasonably high production. Cows have produced on alfalfa hay and corn silage over 8000 pounds of milk in one year, which is much above the average production. It will more nearly take the place of purchased feed than any other crop, produced on the farm, one ton of good alfalfa h&y being equivalent to one ton of bran in feed nutrients. The results of feeding trials in which bran and alfalfa were compared, area little in favor of alfalfa. The basal ration in thi&^ivork consisted of corn silage, 30 pounds; corn meal, 6 pounds, and clover hay, 6 pounds. Six cows were used for the trial, two lots of three each. Both lots were given the aboVe ration. One was given in addi­ tion all the choice alfalfa hay they would eat and "the other an equaT amount of bran by weight. They were fed in this way for eight weeks when the alfalfa and bran were reversed and continued for eight weeks more. In this test the results were practically even, tho a little more milk was pro­ duced with alfalfa than with bran. Twenty pounds of alfalfa hay and forty pounds of corn silage, with a lit­ tle corn meal, give nutrients enough for the production of forty pounds of average milk daily. Cowpea hay will fall only a little short of alfalfa in this respect. It is difficult to find a cheap­ er source of protein-than alfalfa and it will grow well in all localities. Some fields have averaged over, four tons per acre fdr Bix years. r Before Veu m. j.t , TPlie list calf t6 giet: Whiter Goods at cost. This wintery weathfcr you can use 'em and save money, too.

PARCELS CHECKED FREE RESIGNS HIS POSITION PROF. F. W. GOODMAN GIVES UP POSITION IN CHICAGO. The following article which appeared in the Feb. 20 issue of the N. A. R. D. Notesy -a journal published in Chicago and devoted to the organization, edu­ cational and commercial interests of the retail drug trade, will be of inter­ est to Plaindealer readers and for this reason we take pleasure ih reproduc­ ing same: Prof. F. M. Qoddman has resigned his position as professor of botany and materia medica in the U. of I. School of Pharmacy at' Chicago. Professor Goodman was a member of the second graduating class of the old Chicago College of Pharmacy, the class of 1871, and was the only student graduated that year. He has been interested in the college ever since and under the old organization held various offices in the college corporation. He was elect­ ed professor of botany and materia medica in 1891 and served continuously in this position until two years ago, when he was granted a leave of absence on account Of ill health. He returned to his teaching at the beginning of the last session, but his health again fail­ ing he decided to give up teaching and plans to live in retirement upon his beautiful country place at McHenry, 111., near Fox Lake. Prof. Goodman is widely known among the alumni of the school. In addition to his ability as a teacher his talent as an artist has been often recognized. Among his recent efforts in this line are portraits in oil of Prof. C. S. Hall berg and E. S. Bastin, Albert E. Ebert and Thos. Whitfield. These portraits he has pre­ sented to the school and they have been suitably framed and placed in the oiAce and library.

Dear Sir: Owing to the unprecedented demand -tor diphtheria antitoxin during the last si* months, the appropriation for the purchase of the serum for free distribution through the agencies of this Board during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, is now exhausted. No further deliveries of the serum will be made to ageaciep of this Board previous to July 1, 1913, unless arrangements oan be made for additional funds. The stock now on hand at your agency is to be distributed as heretofore out I would ssk that oare be taken to make it last as long us possible. Please do not issue antitoxin to any physician for future use, or to any physician who does not deliver to you at the time the antitox­ in is obtained, a receipt for each package, giving the name and resi­ dence of the patient to whom it is to be administered. I would suggest that it would be well, until further supply can be obtained, to issue an­ titoxin only to such physicians as call for the same in person. ( I hope, however, that before the ^upply of the serum now on hand at your agency is exhausted, the Board will be in a position to supply you with a fresh stock. A bill n\aking an emergency appropria­ tion for the purchase of antitoxin has been prepared and will be intro­ duced in both houses this week.
