BALANCED DIET IS
BETTER FOR COWS
Rations Cut Down, the Milk
Production Falls Off.
By John A. Arey. Extension Dairy Specialist.
North Carolina State College.
WNU Service.
The old family cow has taken a
lot of abuse in her time and kept on
producing milk for her master, but
she can do a much better job
when she gets enough of the right
- things to eat.
A good cow not only cuts down on
the household food bill, but she con-
tributes much to the health and gen.
eral well-being of the family.
A cow has a huge stomach and a
tremendous capacity for converting
feed into milk. On full feed she will
use about half the nutrients in her
feed to maintain her own body-
weight. The rest she converts into
milk and butterfat.
When her rations are cut down,
her milk production falls off, she
loses weight, and she goes drier
sooner than normal. A cow will
often give milk when she really
needs to use the full amount of a
scant feed supply to supply her own
body.
In the course of a year, an aver-
age-size farm cow needs 18 bushels
of corn, 13 bushels of oats, 600
pounds of cottonseed meal, two tons
of hay, and one to two .acres of good
pasture. The hsy should be of good
quality, and the pasturage should be
a good growth of grasses or
legumes. Winter pastures of rye
and crimson clover or of wheat, bar-
ley, oats, and crimson clover are
good for supplementing the dry feed.
Three or more different feeds, say
500 pounds of corn meal, 300 pounds
of cottonseed meal, and 200 pounds
of ground oats or wheat bran will
make a good grain ration. Give a
cow all the roughage she will eat
and allow three quarts of grain per
day for each gallon of milk she
dhraa.
Important Hints Given
For Handling Pullets
These are important steps in the
successful management of the pul-
lets for a good laying and breeding
flock this fall, according to a writer
in Hoard’s Dairyman:
Range the pullets and cockerels
separately.
—Move the pullets-4*»- Uymg
house soon after they start to lay.
Provide a summer range shelter
to take the place of the brooder
house.
Get pullets out on clean range.
Alfalfa or sudan pasture makes good
range.
Hopper-feed both grain and a good
commercial or home-mixed growing
mash during the growing period.
An automatic waterer and self-
feeder will reduce the labor in car-
ing for pullets on range. <
Provide the pullets with artificial
shade if trees, shrubs, or a corn
field are not near the brooding
range.
Do not house more than 100 pul-
lets in a 10 foot by 12 foot brooder
house during the hot summer
months.
Siberian Rye Grass
Siberian rye grass, s decent citi-
zen in its homeland, went hog-wild
when transplanted to the nursery
at Pullman, Wash. Being unaccus-
tomed to such luxury of soil and
climate, it ran amuck like morn-
ing-glory, a single plant covering a
12-foot spread and extending its
roots down 36 inches into the sub-
soil in one season. Now recognized
as a menace to better farming land,
it is penned up with galvanized steel
sheets extending two feet below the
surface. Later it will be transferred
to the sandy, blow-soil areas of the
state where under-nourishment and
thirst will tame it down and put it
to useful work.—The Country Home
Magazine.
Comb, Wattle Disease
The disease affecting the comb
and wattles of poultry is known as
favus. It is due to the presence of
a fungus organism, advises a poul-
tryman in the Boston Globe. This
parasite is transmitted from fowl ta
fowl by direct or indirect contact.
Affected birds should tie promptly
isolated and treated by the applica-
tion of a mixture of one part of tinc-
ture of iodine and six parts of glyc-
erine. It should be applied two or
three times a week. When the feath-
ers and the skin and parts other
than the wattles and comb are af-
fected, it is advisable to destroy
the bird rather than take a chance
on its spreading disease.
Inflated Collar for Horse
Comfort for the horse is offered
in an inflated collar which elimi-
nates much of the scuffing of the
animal’s neck in pulling heavy
loads. So elastic is the collar, says
Popular Mechanics magazine, that
the driver may slip his hand be-
tween the collar and the horse’s
shoulder without discomfort while a
full load to being handled. The col-
lar consists of a special rubber tube
fitted into an ordinary collar and in-
flated with five pounds of air.

ONE of the most serious indictments against our present-
day civilization is its failure to preserve the teeth of men,
j women and children. Countless examinations in all parts of
the country reveal that practically 100 per cent of the adult
population is afflicted with some form of oral disease. And
surveys of the phytical condition*
of school pupils in different lo-
calities and under various cir-
cumstances disclose that tooth de-
cay affects between 90 and 97 per
cent of our school children.
t Remarkable and widely herald-
ed advances have been made in
our knowledge of
how to control and
prevent many dan-
gerous and debili-
tating diseases.
Yet we appear to
be complacent In
the face of the fact
that the majority

cayed teeth!
Nor does the
mere statement of
the case convey any idea of the
seriousness of the situation. For
it to unfortunate that diseased
teeth and dental infections which
may result from unchecked de-
cay, seldom incapacitate the suf-
ferer. Thus the victim does not
become sufficiently alarmed to
take the steps necessary to arrest
the progress of the diseased con-
dition.
Yet a single decayed tooth
might be compared to a poison
factory, distributing its noxious
products to every part of the body,

gums. There is strong evidence
that this vitamin to essential to
the dentine, enamel, cementum
and the bone of the jaw. And
there are on record remarkable
experiments which demonstrate
that dental decay and gum dis-
orders are both prevented and ar-
rested when extra amounts of
foods containing vitamin C are in-
cluded in a well-balanced diet
Vitamin C is best obtained from
the citrus fruits, tomatoes and
raw leafy vegetables such as cab-
bage.
Vitamin D which we get from
the sun, from fish-liver oils and
concentrates, and from Irradiated
foods and those fortified with vita-
min D concentrate, is necessary
for the proper utilization of the
calcium and phosphorus, which
must be generously supplied if the
teeth are to develop properly.
Importance of Denial Hygiene
Thus a carefully calculated diet,
beginning before birth find con-
tinuing throughout life, to neces-
sary to build teeth that are struc-
turally sound. But even the most
perfect teeth require constant
care to maintain their soundness.
Thorough brushing is necessary
after every meal to remove all
particles of food which remain be-
tween the crevices and cling near
the necks of the teeth. If not re-
moved, this debris may ferment,
giving rise to unpleasant odors
and creating acids which may at-
tack the tooth enamel.
It is important, however, that
the brushing be done correctly,
away from the gums and with a
slight rolling stroke, so that the
bristles can penetrate between the
tedth. Never use a horizontal
stroke nor brush toward the gums.
This may irritate the tender tis-

Indian Rainmakers
Of Southwest Hold
To Ancient Rites
Traditional Corn Dance Brings
Moisture for Annual
, Crops.
SANTO DOMINGO, N. M.-In
southwestern New Mexico rain to.a
matter of life and death. There live
the Keres Indians, who have for
centuries performed once each year
a colorful ceremony to which they
attribute the moisture that has giv-
en them life-sustaining crops.
The Koshares, the medioiRO man
of the tribe, lead the supplication
to the Keres* traditional “father**—
the sky—in their corn dance beg-
ging their deity to allow rain to fall
on their crops that burn in the south-
ern New Mexico desert land.
Most Peaceful Tribe.
This primitive dance to the cli-
max of the Keres' religion and the
annual performance of the rite—
with the autumn rains that follow-
goes to make the tribe one of the
most peacefully devout and spiritu-
ally satisfied in the world.
The pueblo has held more to its
ancient traditions than any other in
the Southwest. To these simple peo-
ple the annual dance of supplication
is a dance to the spirits their ances-
tors worshiped. After the coming
of the Spaniards and Christianity
the dance was named in honor of St
Dominic, who was given them
by the Spanish padres as their pa-
tron, but the ceremony itself re-
mains unchanged.
The St. Dominic dance originated
in antiquity and the meaning of
many of its symbolic portions is un-
known even to the Indians them-
selves.
Beliefs Remain Unchanged.
To these simple people the blue
sky to the father and the earth the
mother of all creation. Early teach-
ing by missionaries, oppression by
the Spaniards and later government
schools have failed to shake the In-
dians in their steadfast belief in the
simple but practical worship of the
religion of their ancestors.
The dance of St. Dominic to one
of the most perfect survivals of the
Indian’s ancient religious ceremo-
nials. While primarily a plea for
rain, the dance really to an elab-
orate prayer for the fertilization
and preservation of the fields of
corn upon which the people depend
as their principal item of diet.
The actual dance starts early in
the morning, following the only
Christian rite of the ceremony, the
marriage of couples who have pre-
viously been married by tribal med-
icine men.
Women Also Parttetpeto.
The Koshares, or medicine men,
painted in ashen gray and chanting
in a monotonous undertone, lead the
procession from the kiva, a circular
underground chamber used lor the
tribe’s secret ceremonies. Fol-
lowing the Koshares, whose bodies
are painted with symbols and whose
hair is tied with corn husks and
pasted with mud, are long lines of
men and women, placed alternate-
ly. As these dancers reach the
town plaza they form in two straight
lines. All of the Indians hold their
positions in the dance with the ex-
ception of the Koshares, who move
in and out of the weaving lines ex-
horting their tribesmen to greater
frenzy. During the daylong dance,
only the medicine men gesture to
