Mrs. Fred Converse is spending the prisoners may have pleased the prisoners, but found no favor with court fans or the public in general. Much credit is due to State's Attorney Pouse, his assistant, J. J. Mc- Cauley, as well as the sheriff and his deputies for bringing .this trio of criminals to justice. That McHenry county is a quiet, peace loving community, and not a good place for criminals and bandits to operate, has been demonstrated by the effective manner in which these cases have been handled. It is only a few months ago when the bank rc&bery at McHenry and the freight tr^m holdup at Ridgefield occurred. Through the efforts of the sheriff and his aids, in securing their arrest, the vigorous prosecution by the state's attorney's office and the unswerving even balanced and rigid justice of the court itself, the principal characters of these two l^oldups have been brought to justice and the criminal world has been taught that McHenry county is not a mecca for holdups and highwaymen. Some remarks are heard occasion - ally, the search for criminals and their trials in the court are expensive, cost a lot of the taxpayers' money, but the best money we can spend is the vigorous prosecution of all law breakers. We hear much of outlawry in large cities like Chicago and our close proximity to that city brings us within the danger line, but the vigorous, prompt and severe prosecution of the trio sentenced in Judge Shurtleff's court Monday will teach the crimina habitutes of Cook county that Mc Henry county is not an attractive place in which to ply their trade. .

The Following is a Comment Jby .George Sullivan, Sport Writer of the Woodstock Sentinel Crystal Lake defeated Harvard 22- 14 in the finals at the county tournament Saturday night. In doing, so the Lakers are now rated as champions of the county if such a title carries any honor. From all reports the game Saturday night created considerable criticism as far as sportmanship is con- Green rye and green cowpeas may be fed to dairy cows immediately after milking without unfavorably affecting either the flavor or odor of the milk. This fact was developed by a series of feeding experiments carried on by the United States Department of Agriculture to determine whether feeding green rye or green cowpeas affects the flavor arid odor of milk, and to ascertain how these feeds may be fed and the milk handled so as to minimize any objectionable effects on the quality ~pf the product. The. investigation relative to the feeding of green rye. was conducted with, ten Holstein and" ten Jersey cows representative of their respective breeds, and giving milk relatively free from abnormal flavors and odors. The average weight of the Jersey cows was 976 pounds, and that of the Holsteins 1,271 pounds. The stage of lactation varied from fresh cows to those nearing the end of their lactation period. The cutting of the rye used in the experiments was begun when it was about 15 inches in height, before it had headed. In addition to the green rye, the cows were fed. in proportion to their milk production, varying quantities of a grain mixture containing two pounds each of hominy feed, bran, and oats, and one pound each of.cottonseed meal and linseed meal. In addition to the grain mixture, the cows were fed as much alfalfa hay as they would readily consume, the average quantity of hay consumed daily per cow being 12.3 pounds. The cows were separated Into groups of five. One group received only the hay and grain ration and! were known as checks. The other ihrefe groups received, respectively, In addition to ^he hay and grain ration, the following quantities of green rye: 16 pounds one hour before milking. 30 pounds one hour before milking. 30 pounds Immediately after milking. This plan of feeding was followed for four consecutive days, but on the fifth day the rye was omitted from the ration. The cows were then interchanged in order to equalize any abnormal results caused by the milk of in Individual animal, and the feeding of >rreen rye was resumed. SampleS were taken from tlie milk of each cow at the time of milking, and cooled, but not aerated. The samples were examined for flavor and odor by experienced judges, who had no knowledge as to which cow produced a particular sample. These exhaustive experiments disclosed. the fact that as much: as 90 pounds of green rye may be fed to dairy cows immediately after milking without producing noticeable effect on either the flavor or odor of the milk. In similar feeding experiments with green cowpeas, :?0 pounds of this feed was consumed by dairy cows immediately after milking without producing any pronounced objectionable flavor or odor in the milk. Green cowpeas tend to affect uiore unfavorably the flavor and odor of the milk than does green rye* Worts, Mrs: Frank Cobb and Mrs. iCerned. When Bowman of Harvard Karls.

Tlie amount of feed which should he'feci'a cow depends in the first place upon individuality. Size of the animal, amount of milk produced and butter-fat content of the milk also bear important relationships to the amount of,feed necessary. A grain mixture should be fed in the proportion of one pound to each three pints of milk produced daily by the cow. If the cow produces more than five gallons of milk a day, however, feed at the rate of one pound of grain mixture to each four pints of milk. Under most circumstances feed all the roughage she will eat up clean. Only if she tends to become overfat should the quantity of roughage be restricted. Feed all she will respond to in milk production. When she begins to put on flesh cut down the grain. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT WANTED--Young woman for office work.

On that day after the funeral of a real Romany,, the relations burn all the clothes and other consumable belongings of the dead person. Then all the crockery and utensils aire broken and solemnly thrown into the nearest running water. Behind this queer custom lies •'ghost-fear." It is believed that, so long as any of the possessions of a dead gypsy remain intact, his ghost will "walk," and ill-luck anil misfortune will dog the camp. Sometimes, so strong is this miperstition, even the horse; of a dead gypsy is : destroyed. Gypsies never utter tlie names of the dead, and for a long time after a death will not eat or drink anything that was a favorite with the departed. This Is "ghost-fear" again. Rarely, If ever, are flowers placed on . a ftvpsy's grave. Some little; possession that they loved in life--a toy for a child, or a blackened teapot, broken first, for an old woman, and so on--is the usual choice. .

Bloody Milk Is Due to Ruptured Blood Vessel When a cow gives bloody milk, it is due to a rupture of a small blood vessel In the udder. When a cow Is fresh, it usually Is due to the swelling In the udder, but when It occurs later in the lactation it usually Is due to an injury to the udder. When It Is due to an inflammation, the trouble Is over as soon as the Inflammation leaves the udder, but when it is caused by injury, the cause must first be removed before a cure can be effected. When the blood comes away In lumps, there is an infection in the quarter and the quarter will usually be iost. against the town. Bills may be left with the supervisor or the undersigned.
