On account of high-priced feeds, one may be inclined to feed scanty rations. On paper this may figure out to be economical, but in practice the liberal feeder is tho man who is making money. The product which in this is miik.

A machine is efficient only when it is operated to its fullest capacity. Neither is a dairy herd run efficiently when only enough feed is fed to maintain the cow's body. In the second plate, dairymrn may be feeding poor cows. A poor cow requires just as much for maintenance as a good one, but like a poor machine, the poor cow will return only so much fiuished product, no matter how much we feed her. Good cows fed correctly will always make a profit.

The poor cow never makes a profit, but the higher feed prices go the greater loss she is bound to make.

Once he was seen to pilot his car out into the field where shells were bursting twenty feet apart, to detour ahead of everything, hit the road again, and dash on "Say!" demanded a doughboy, "who 'is he, that syimpy little Red Cross fellow who always looks as if he had the whole American Army on mind?" "Dunno his name," responded some one else. "The boys in my outfit call him General Suicide." From Melville Chater's "Chasing a Victorious Army," in the January Red Cross Magazine.
