This school has been arranged by the Farm Bureau Dairy Committee. \ During the past two years, says County Agent C. N. Abbey, we have been conducting the Dairy Cattle Feeding Program. Dairymen hWe been urged to feed more home-grown roughages, particularly good quality hay. Speakers at this school will ex plain why this is important and will point out why farmers should de velop their farms for more efficient- production of high quality feeds. Good quality hay and improved’pas ture furnish the lowest cost n u trients available for feeding dairy cow s,in New York, says C. N. Abbey. Making full use of such feeds will go a long way in reducing the cost of produc ing milk. There has been much interest in new methods of making hay crops into silage instead of curing them for hay. The advantages and disad vantages of this practice and the feed ing of this silage will he discussed fully. Suggestions will he offered for using home-grown grains in the grain mixture. ■•All dairymen are invited to at tend this two-day school. Sessions will start promptly at 10:30 o’clock in the morning and will end prom pt ly at 3:00 o’clock in the afternoon. Those attending the first meetings will get the most benefit from later discussions, says Mr. Abbey. In addition to the subject m a tter a hay show is planned and Cattarau gus County farmers are going to bring in samples of second cutting alfalfa, alfalfa-clover-grass hay, clover hay, clover grass hay, timothy hay and samples of preserved legumes and grasses by ensiling. Prizes will be given. Applications in CCC Are Unlimited Welfare Commissioner W alter W.

Lord; and all thy command ments are truth. Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou 'hast founded them for ever” (Psalms 119:151, 152). Among the citations which com prise the Lesson-:Sermon is the fol lowing from the Bihle: “A n d the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto Ms friend. . . , And the Lord said, Behold there is\ a place 'by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: And It shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will, p u t thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by” (Exodus 33: 11, 21, 22). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following selection from the textbook of Christian Science, “Sci ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: “M aterial sense never helps mortals to understand Spirit, God. Through spiritual sense only, man compre hends and loves Deity. The various contradictions of the Science of Mind by the material senses do not change the unseen Truth, which re mains forever intact” (page 481). Woman Saves Child a* Home Burns to Ground Mrs. Basile Ehmke, who taught between Gowanda and Perrf-sburg several years ago, saved her infant child but lost the Ehm ke’s home Sky Ranch in the Ar)iwright-South Dayton road January 13 th, when fire iu sub-zero tem p erature burned the home to the ground. The fire was discovered by Mrs. Ehmke as she was going about her morning housework. She had heard the crackling of the flames but be lieved it to be radio static. Seizing her baby, she managed to get out of the building just as the roof collapsed. It was not until she went outdoors that she saw flames on the roof. Mr Ehmke was at work on the farm at the time, and the extreme tem p erature of 15 degrees below zero left no water available even after help arrived to fight the flames. The house burned to the ground. ^ Cause of the fire was not learned Prescriptions Entrusted to us receive careful attention and are promptly fill ed by competent, fully licensed pharmacists.
