These hints are given by the
specialist for feeding cows and
heifers during these dry times.
He says to feed at least the mi-
nimum amount of roughage or"
one pound of roughage per 100
pounds of animal body weight.
This level must be maintained
for the proper digestive pro-
cesses. Thompson points out
that shortage of roughage is
a problem in Texas because of
its high cost.
He also recommends feeding
no less thap the minimum pro-
tein as in normal years. Thom-
pson explains that rumen bac-
teria use the nitrogen they get
from protein for the digestion
of feeds. This nitrogen is es-
pecially needed to enable the
cows to digest low quality
roughages.
The specialist recommends
feeding vitamip A to joews
with calves and weaned calves.
T< swppily tHis requirement,
one pound of dehydrated pellets
or synthetic vitamin A may be
fed, injected or given in the
da-inking water. Extra phos-
phorous should be supplied in
the drinking water or a free
choice of mineral lick provided..
Salt should be fed free choiee
to all carttie.

One of the Baylor County’S
former sheriffs recounted the
days when he used to lead the
singing.
The motive for this revival of
interest in Sunday morning
services at Round Timbers i s
the opportunity to study the
scriptures together under the
leadership of three Wichita
Falls Christian business men
who have found the Bible to
be relevant to everyday life.
Each Sunday at 10 a. m. Mr.

faith of new Christians as well
as older Christians in the
Church.
“Dixie Boy” Jordan, well-
known KWFT folk singer, is
providing a tremendous zest to
the services with his heart-
warming voice and famous
Gospel songs as well as fur-
nishing leadership for the
spirited congregational singing
in the 11 a. m. worship ser-
vice.
