The election laws pro- yide two registration days once in two years at general elections, but no pro­ vision is made for a town registration. All women over 21 years old, who have lived in Illinois one year, in Mc­ Henry county 90 days and in their vot­ ing precinct or town 30 days are en­ titled to vote providing they are Amer­ ican born or are naturalized. The law is plain on this subject, but many get jeonfused because Chicago which has an election board ot commission, re­ quires & registration of all voters and the registration there is for municipal officials. Women entitled to vote, and this means those who possess the same qualifications of male. voters, will be permitted to vote in Harvard and in every other place in Illinois outside of Chicago without being registered. Special ballots and special ballot boxes to receive the votes of women will be provided in all polling places and there need be no fear or alarm that any ad­ vantage will be taken of them, the election judges in McHenry county especially desiring to be fair and just in the matter.

FEEDING OF DAIRY COWS DAILY RATION SHOULD BE PROPERLY BALANCED TO GIVE BEST RESULTS Recent investigation in several dairy herds of the county seem to indicate that better results could be obtained if more care were exercised in the kind and amounts of feed being used. Many dairymen are using-high priced feeds and not in the right proportions. Quality and quantity must each be carefully considered in making up a ration. The materials found in milk must be supplied in the proper amounts in the feed. The cow possesses no magic power whereby she can convert carbohydrates into protein or protein into carbohydrates. Therefore, feeds containing the proper amounts of pro­ tein, carbohydrates and fats inust be supplied if the best results at the pail are obtained. v The cow will use what materials site needs to maintain her body and supply the energy necessary 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 up to the limit of her capacity. Her capacity for production ,of human food is greater than that of any other farm animal. Instances, are on record where she has produced the equivalent of thirty (30) pounds of meat in ope d»y- ]Ser production varies more widely tj^ag any other, farm animal, from nothing to the figures given above. This variation is due to three things: The characteristics of the cow, the care and the feed. This emphasizes the fact that cows shoi^d be fed according to their capacity to produce, if they are to be fed more economically. It requires careful prac­ tice on the part of the feeder before he £33 properly adjust the ration to the oeeoU of his animals and the man who is not willing give,these things the attention they re^u^re, h^s little business handling dairy cpttJe. Most of the feeds grown on our farms do not contain a sufficient amount of protein to make good dairy feeds alone. \XfeAif jTi nflt ttrniiflrly biiAUAttd L* ^ * , ~<i ' .

'PHONE 01-R 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. It has been the common practice to purchase such feeds as bran, brewers' grains, cotton seed meal, linseed meal, gluten feed, etc., which contain a high percentage of protein. At one time these by­ products were cheap and some of them were even run into the streams to get rid of them. Their value today is common knowledge and the price has gone up rapidly, until at the present time the cost of some of tblem makes their use unprofitable. Dairymen must have a cheaper source of protein and the greatest promise in this respect are the legu­ minous roughages, such as red clover, ^lfalfa, sweet clover and soy beans. lifted clover hay, fed with corn silage, our cheapest feed, is only sufficient for low production, but it helps out con­ siderably in supplying protein. Alfal­ fa and sweety clover hay will supply plenty of protein for reasonably high production. Cows have produced on alfalfa hay and corn silage over 8000 pounds of milk per year for an average of six years, which is much above the average production. Alfalfa and sweet clover hay will more nearly take the place of purchased feed than any other crop produced on our farms. It is possible for every dairyman to raise a balanced ration for his stock on his^awn farm. The following combinations of feeds are giving good results in several herds in the county: Daily ration for 40 pounds, 3.<B2 milk. 1. Silage ...30 lbs. Mixed hay.. 15lbs. Corn meal. 4 lbs.
