had a good mouth, for I haven’t a tooth 
in my head. You asked whether she 
kicked when she was milked, and she 
doesn’t, for she’s all through kicking 
then. It’s when she is being milked 
that she makes things lively. I didn’t 
say that she was an ideal cow, but I 
did think she ought to keep peace be¬ 
cause, where there is nothing worth 
quarreling over, thefe is usually peace.” 
“That’s all right,” said the little man, 
“we will have to make the best of it. 
I just wish to say, Deacon Bartley, 
that I am the new minister, and that 
next Sunday being communion, I would 
like very much to have all the deacons 
present.” ' 
The 67th Congress and the 
Farmer 
(Continued from page 241) 
provided that “ ‘butter’ shall be under¬ 
stood to mean the food product usually 
known as butter, and which is made 
exclusively from milk or cream, or 
both, with or without common salt, and 
with or without additional coloring 
niatter, and containing not less than 80 
per cent by weight of milk fat, all toler¬ 
ances having been allowed for.” 
8. The Anti-filled Milk Act. One 
of the most dramatic struggles was 
that which resulted in the passage of a 
federal Anti-filled Milk Act. This act 
became a law on March 3, but no prose¬ 
cutions for penalties are to be enforced 
for any violation until 30 days after it 
became a law. The act forbids the 
manufacture and sale within the Dis¬ 
trict of Columbia and the territories 
and possessions of the United States, 
and the shipment in interstate or for¬ 
eign commerce of milk compounds con¬ 
taining as an ingredient any fat other 
than milk fat. 
Reforming Farm Finance 
Farmers resented very much the re¬ 
striction of farm credit during the clos¬ 
ing year of the Wilson and the first 
year of the Harding administrations. 
They thought that something was 
fundamentally wrong with the policies 
of the Federal Reserve System, and 
demanded that a farmer representative 
placed upon the Board. A bill was 
introduced to this effect and became a 
law. The President then appointed 
Milo D. Campbell of Coldwater, Mich., 
to this position. Mr. Campbell was the 
President of the National Milk Pro¬ 
ducers’ Federation until he accepted 
the appointment. 
Farmers also asked for a complete 
reorganization of the whole scheme of 
farm finance. Many bills were intro¬ 
duced, and Congress finally passed a 
composite credit act. This act does not, 
however, make any drastic changes in 
the existing credit machinery of the 
country. Its purpose was rather to 
loosen up at the top the flow of credit 
by providing a wider investment mar¬ 
ket for agricultural paper. The act in 
brief does this: 
1. It makes more readily available 
the commercial credit facilities of the 
country by lengthening the rediscount 
privileges on agricultural paper to say 
from six months to nine months. 
2. It authorizes the formation of a 
new sei;ies of agricultural banking cor¬ 
porations, formed with private capital 
whose purpose is to lend money ihainly 
to grower’s and fatteners of live stock. 
3. It extends the life of the War Fi¬ 
nance Corporation to February 29, 
1924. 
4. It sets up twelve regional gov¬ 
ernmental banks attached to the offices 
of the twelve Federal Farm Land 
Banks. These banks, known as inter¬ 
mediate credit banks, are authorized 
to purchase agricultural paper run¬ 
ning from six months to three years in 
maturity and to make direct loans to 
agricultural cooperative marketing as¬ 
sociations on the security of warehouse 
receipts or bills of lading. The coop¬ 
erative association may b^orrow money 
lor either processing or the storing of 
commodities. 
Each of these banks is to start with 
$5,000,000 capital. 
Bills that Failed 
Among the bills that farmers want¬ 
ed that failed to pass were: 
Measures for the disposal of the 
Government property at Muscle Shoals, 
Ala.; the Truth in Fabric Bill; the 
Standard Containers Act ; amendments 
lo the Transportation Act of 1921; a 
bill to purchase nitrate. 
Helps Cows Make More Milk 
Sugared Schumacher Feed helps cows to make more milk by pro¬ 
viding them with a variety of wholesome body building grains, 
ample sustenance for bodily maintenance, so that they do not have to draw on any of the 
protein concentrates for their physical needs, but can convert ALL of the protein, part of the 
ration you feed them, into milk. 
It’s sweet — cows like it—theyjeat it with relish and it keeps their appetite keen—they don’t 
get “off their feed.” It keeps them healthy — full of vim, vigor and vitality-— that’s why 
SUGARED 
SCmiMACHER FEED 
Is Noted for Its LONG TIME Milk Production 
The World’s Greatest Carbohydrate Ration—it is comi^sed of Wheat, Oats, 
Com and Barley, combined with Oil Meal and Salt. This mixture is properly 
balanced, kiln dried and made sweet with the addition of a liberal amount of 
dried Cane Molasses. Feed it with any protein concentrate you prefer and no¬ 
tice how quickly the general health condition of your herd will improve and 
milk yields increase. Sugared Schumacher will prove its right to the name of 
an udder feed—the milk pail tells the tale. Your dealer can supply you.
