' Newspaper .Mail .Meets North Caro linian Fighting With Allies. A well known American newspaper dim 1 1 who has been In the war zone of Furope fur several months, brought 1 hack to the I'nited States a good North Carolina story.

It should be remembered, however, that the feeding at this period is far be yond the amount the animal can handle to the best advantage, and she would not be capable of eating so much year after year. In other words, she is full of fuel. J PRACTICE OF CREAM GRADING Better Material Is Secured for Cream eries and Insures Better Product for the Consumer. (By R. M'CANN, State Puiry Inspector of Colorado.) The old system of spoiling good cream with bad by mixing the two is a practice to be relegated to the past. Consumers, manufacturers and producers alike should demand and ex pert that progress or a lead be made In products and manufactures of their respective community and state. While cream grading is a compara tively new measure in many of our bordering states, it has apparently proved beyond doubt its value in many respects, the foremost of which are: Securing a better material for cream eries; placing an incentive and reward for the production of good cream by difference in price received for first grade cream, over that for second grade, and insuring a better product for the consumer, thereby increasing consumption and demand for products manu factured. CUT UP LONG CORN STALKS j Much Waste May Be Avoided and Cows Will Eat Them Up Clean Bit of Grain Is Relished. Don't try to make your cows eat long corn stalks. They will surely waste n lot of good food. Cut the stalks and thoy will eat them all up clean. Let them lie in a box or even in the alleyway for a day or two after they have been out and they will heat and i soften up a good deal. If too dry a lit tle water poured over the pile will help to moisten them up. A bit of grain sprinkled over each ration will make its licking good. Bad-Acting Heifers. Ileifors are not Included, as very often they will be gentle as anyone de sires, after the second calf.

However, if they persist in tricks after the second calf, bost to let them go and try a new cow. Cow Pays for Attention.
