New York FIRE DOORS AND SHUTTERS Loss by Recent Raleigh Fire Would Have Been Small Had Buildings Been Properly Equipped. One of the lessons of the recent fire in Raleigh was to show the import ance of having property within the fire district protected by fire doors and shutters and in seeing that the buildings were not only thus equipped, but that the doors and shutters were kept in working condition and properly closed each night. The loss by this fire would have been small if even the new buildings had been properly equipped. An examination during the fire showed that many of the fire shut ters were open and the inflammable property inside of the building expos ed to sparks. The Insurance Department is doing all it can in the way of helping cities and towns as well as individual prop- perty owners by inspections and ad vice as to the best means of protec tion. The Commissioner says that he will have any building in the State in spected and a full detail made of what is necessary to do for this protection if the owner will only assure him that he is anxious and willing to do what ever he can for the protection of his own property as well as that of his neighbors.

FEED COWS FOR MILK Production and Size Are the De termining Factors. Each Animal Shoufd Be Given at Much Roughage at ihe Will Eat Up Clean—Avoid Increase In Body Weight Above Normal. In the management of the modem dairy it should be the aim to surround the cows with conditions most con ducive to a large and economical pro* ductlon of milk and butterfat in each Individual case. Each cow should re ceive as much roughage as she will eat up clean and a portion of this should preferably be of a succulent na ture, like grass, silage, soiling crops or roots. Of concentrates it has been found a good working rule to feed as many pounds of grain feeds per day to each cow as she produces pounds of butterfat a week, or one-fourth to one- third as much grain as she gives pounds of milk daily, the amount de pending upon the per cent of butterfat in the milk. In the case of cows pro ducing milk with a low per cent of fat, one-fourth would be required. Care should always be taken to avoid an in crease in body weight above the nor mal for each cow, since the milk secre tion, as a general rule, is likely to suffer when cows commence to utilize their feed for the formation of body fat ' It follows from what has been said that no two cows in the herd can Jbe fed exactly alike under this system of Relation Of Digestible Matter Anp Photein to Total Dry Matter IN Rations For 1200 PoundCows lABUHglirATDAi My nATTM Production and Size Are the Factors Determining the Food Requirements of Dairy Cows-^The Amounts o1 Dry Matter and Digestible Protein Should Increase In Proportion tc the Production of Butterfat. feeding. Each cow must receive in dividual attention and be fed accord ing to her special requirements. It is possible, however, to lessen the labor incident to regulating the feed supply in accordance with the requirements of the individual cows by adapting a gj^neral grain mixture which will serve the needs of most of the cows in the herd. This may be placed in a cart and weighed or measured out from the same to each cow in the stable. JUDGIMENT IN SHAPIIVG TREES Care Should Be Exercised Not to Cut Away Any Portion Which May Affect Appearance. In shaping the trees, the orchardist must use his own judgment largely. Where the trees are very small care should be exercised not to cut away any portion of the tree which may af fect its appearance in the future. Be ginners should not start on young or small trees, for mistakes on them are always costly. If you observe a serious fork in the young tree, it should be remedied at once by cutting away the one which you think will not make the best pro ducer. If "uch a defect is remedied early in the lifetime of a tree it will scarcely be noticeable later, but to al low it to remain for any length of time is to injure and deform the tree per manently. REiMEDY FOR A SAGGING DOOR Old Wagon Rod and Staple, Arranged as Shown In Illustration, Will Prove Satisfactory. For a door that has sagged, writes John Reagan of Minnesota in Nebras ka Farm Journal, put the ring of the rod at the bottom of door and run Cure for Sagging Door. the staple through it.
