A women’s world column praises illustrated books for children, noting pictures aid memory and imagination while text supports accurate statements. It highlights parental interest in politics, school progress, and civic matters, plus recent lectures and club activities including a Rivals concert and Shakespeare class.
Rivers district grange editor J C Winship presents a digest from an Agricultural Department bulletin. Alfalfa hay, when properly cured, provides strong protein but lacks fats and carbohydrates. To form a complete ration, mix with coarse forage such as corn fodder or ensilage. A typical mix of one ton alfalfa to three tons silage or fodder supports a 1000 pound milch cow for about 136 days, with good digestion. Alfalfa substitutes for wheat bran and cottonseed meal, enabling savings on beef and pork production. It pairs well with prairie hay, straw, silage, or fodder and, when fed with grain, supports cattle fattening and high market prices.
The column argues dairying pays, citing Hoard's Dairyman examples of farms with 8 to 40 cows earning net daily profits from milk and by products. It notes Jefferson County Wisconsin has 77 creameries and forecasts regional soil fertility loss from grain exports, urging dairy expansion while warning against ill-prepared creameries and alarm over industry waste.
