E. 8. 8AVAQE, New Tork gUU College of Affrfeultur*.--WNU Service. A cow's preference is for the kind ief hay that saves dairymen money. j®*y '®» after all, the basis and foundation of the ration. Silage and graiif are really supplements to the hay and •re the expensive parts of the ration, J bo good quality hay makes more dolihars possible from the silage corn and 'the purchased grain. Good hay should be soft, have a good [taste, not be too coarse, not be musty 'or mow burned, not be bleached, have I #11 of its leaves, and should be clean. 1 Early cutting helps meet all of these requirements. Soft hay is easy to eat 1 and is not coarse, hard, and brittle like ilate cut bay. The early cut hay tastes •better, and in addition has more proitein. Late cutting may increase the ; total tonnage but the loss in palatajblllty will be greater than the loss In' ! tonnage. In ideal haymaking, the hay should 'be cot one day, handled as little as 1 possible, and be dry enough to put in the barn the next day. When hay is cnt, cocked up for several days, and •then drawn to the. bars, both labor and leaves are wasted and the taste is ;aot Improved. v-'f Hatter of Rations Not to Be Treated Whether the dairyman shall mix his •wn feeds or buy ready-mixed rations fs still an important question. Before It is definitely decided the dairyma% should ask himself these questions: 1. Are the feeds he can buy as good ,*s are contained In the ready-mixed •rations? 2. Is it possible to secure a continaous supply of a large variety of 1b- , gradients? 8. Can the ingredients lie mixed as thoroughly at they are in the commercial mixtures? Undoubtedly he may be able to mix a ton at less money than he will have to pay for a similar commercial mlxtnre, hut when all things are considered there may not be the advantage that formerly existed. The last few years have witnessed a wonderful change in the quality of mixed feeds efflered for sale. This improvement of quality has removed one of the reasens for home mixing. It also m trans feat better feeds are being need la oar commercial rations. Low-quality feeds are still on the Market and many of these find their way, as separate Ingredients, to retail dealers. When a dairyman boys feeds for home mixing, he should be sure of quality or his supposed savings on die ton price may prove a loss at the paiL --Connecticut Agricultural ; Minnesota Cow 3*e statewide cow testing assortsttsn that has been &&&?§,* #*Sff •ota the past year pnAM a prime ••cord available to anyone in the state It was started to keep mea who eeaM not keep records in the standard testtag groups.

When the cows tre first turned on pasture, the winter -grain ration should be continued with all animals snd gradually reduced through two weeks. Then continue to feed to the high producers (over two and one-half gallons) one pound of grain mixture for each five to seven pounds of milk. A good mixture is BOO pounds of corn and cob meal, 500 pounds of ground oats and 100 pounds ef cracked soybeans. Another Is 900 pounds of corn and cob meal, 800 -pounds of ground oats and 200 pounds «f wheat bran.--Wallace's Fanner.

"It is true that we have had more failures in our banks than in the banks of a number of other countries," he said. "It is also true that we have had more failures in drug stores, grocery stores, railroads, and in every other type of business enterprise. At the same time, it must be said that we still have left after all our failures, more drug stores, more grocery stores, more railroads, and mor« banks than any other country." People do not realize, he said, that we have In excess of 108 banks which have been in existence over a century and we have more than 2,000 banks which hate been in existence over 50 years. "In other words, we have more banks over 100 years of age than any other country--we have more banks over 50 years of age than any country in the world," he declared. "The American banking system has not fallen down-- It fs not in danger of decay. Such failores as.it has experienced are due to the price we pay for too rapid developaent of business enterprise*, bat that Is the American spirit." U. S. GOVERNMENT GREATEST BANKER France Opens New Army Air Training School Paris.--France's determined effort to Improve her forces of the air took , a new step forward when a skeleton air base was established at Salon-de-Provence, 80 miles from Marseilles, recently. The base will be used strictly for army and navy air force experiments and is to become France's chief air training school by the time the government's program of development and reorganization is completed. This is to be not later than 1035, according to the air minister's plans. Corollary to the Salon air school will be the land plane base at 1st res and a new base, for seaplanes, either at Berre or Marignane. At the same time the air bases of Ttitonville and Strasbourg are to be abandoned by the army, leaving these fields, like Le Bourget, free for Civil aviation. New military air bases are to be established at Bordeaux, at Toulouse and at Orange, according to the air ministry. \ Man Own* Run Antiqacs Romance, Ark.--Lonnie P.
