This may not be II. high ideal for farmers or anyone else, but nevertheless it is a very necessary part in the lives of most farmers. The chief value of winter dairying from an economical viewpoint is. that prices for milk, butter and cheese are always greater in winter, than in summer, and it the producer or milk can keep winter production costs down to the level of summer costs, the gain in price for the milk, nv-nan` -ma hnHm' sold in winter. in Luuuua U1. ykuxcanluuul \':uu\.a.

This is probably true cow-feeder is obliged to purchase all his concentrates in the form of high priced dairy feeds, such as oilcake, cottonseed and gluten meals, but where a. farmer is able to grow all his roughage, and at least onehalt the meal ration. on his own farm, there is probably not so much differ- ence between winter and summer milk costs, as some would suppose, especially on high~prlced land. Where cheap, rough land is available for. summer pasture, then summer milk can be produced comparatively cheap. Annther nhase or milk production ~ produced comparauveiy cueapt Another phase milk production in winter worth considering is the labor problem. In winter there is more time to attend to the cows thnn. in summer during the rush of work. Having the cows in 9. comtortahle stable makes pleasant winter work looking after them. It at least half the herd be fresh during November. and December, these cows will be so- ing dry at harvest time the following summer, and thus labor is more even- ly and more economically distributed throughout the year.

Even in pence times, the pic- . ture postnls which he had sent to me `from time to time and which were `autographed by him, were always i signed in German. When. on February :1. the Germans resumed their ruth- less submarine warfare--a move which `was immediately followed by the breaking oil! of diplomatic relations-I ifelt that the kaiser must have fore- fseen this consequence nnd had sent ime the postal. as an intimation that he wanted me to remain _in Berlin nevertheless. l "n , ..,, n,___,___ ___._ n__ y___, uc v c: \.ux.n.aa. } When the Germans sank the Lusi- , tania. living and practicing in Ger- 'many lost many or their attractions for me. I made up my mind then that I would rather return home and com- mence my professional career all over again, it necessary, than remain in a country which could sanction such a hideous form of warfare--the wanton destruction of women and children. To that end, I went to New York in the summer of 1915 to investigate the re- quirements for the practice of my pro- fession in that state. I had an Illinois license. but I wanted to be in a posi- tion to practice in New York, and the following year I went to New York again and took the state dental exam- ination.
