EV E RY dairyman knows that he must feed proportionately for the light summer period, as well as in the heavy winter months, if he wants a large flow of milk from his herd when he can sell it at a good price. Here is the way it works out: Suppose your price for milk is $1.90—with an almost certain prospect of being lower when grass comes, and pastures are good. Now, if you feed Buffalo Corn Gluten Feed mix ture at a cost of about $30.00, you can produce at least $130.00 worth of milk from your good milkers. If your milk price goes down—say to $1.20—you can still get $84.00 from the same cows and the same amount of feed. It has been proven that if you do not feed in the sum mer your cows will shrink after the first flush of grass. You will not only lose the profit you might have had from them by proper feeding, but, on account of their poorer condition, your herd will not produce as much milk when you start heavy feeding again. These are facts that should make every dairyman consider seriously his feeding prob lem, on a basis of- cost and return, during the grass months now coming in. And then order Buffalo Corn Gluten Feed for your herd. C o rn Products Refining Co.

A. C. RECORD QJ VIEWS AND COMMENT [IJJ students STUDENT LOANS. - A student loan fund has just been estab lished by the Omaha Chamber of Commerce to assist needy thru the Agricultural College of the University of Nebraska. This money is loaned to worthy stu dents, to be repaid with a small rate of in terest after the student graduates from col lege. A number of senior students have been aided by this fund and permitted to graduate to who otherwise would not have been able continue in school. Up to the present time only seniors have been assisted, but it is hoped that in the future, juniors, and perhaps stu dents in even lower grades, may secure the benefits of this fund. Such a project is worthy of the efforts of any organization, but the originating of -this fund for agricultural students in the chamber of commerce of a city the size of Omaha is indeed significant. In it there is recognized the importance of agriculture and agricul tural education to the future welfare of the city and of the state. A small but very active student loan fund has existed at M. A. C. for a number of years. Because of its small size its use has been restricted to upper classmen. Alumni who have been assisted by this fund could do no greater service to the college and her future students than to give this fund a boost individually or through organizations either which might be interested, as they were in Nebraska, in higher education. a working unit THE ALUMNAE UNIT The organization of M. A. C. women into recently started in Lansing may seem to be cause for alarm to those who have the interests of the big M. A. C. Association uppermost in their thought. But the fact of the matter is that the women who are sponsoring this movement feel that alum nae can better boost for a bigger M. A. C. and alumni support the policies of the general body if they are more conversant with their own division of the college and with its big problems. Probably no phase of education has changed so completely, nor has made more remarkable strides during the past decade, than has home economics, and for this reason if no other it is a good thing for alumnae to get together and talk over these changes and improvements. In pledging $1000 towards the furnishing of a practice house at the college, the women want it understood that this will not in any way interfere with the big project of alumni every where—the Union Memorial Building. This money for the practice house must all be earned and not subscribed, and in undertaking, the task Ml A. C. women have elected a meth od that will be most effective in bringing alum nae into a closer acquaintance with themselves and with the college, •• -.

A Summary of an Address Given before the ' Central Michigan Alumni at their Noonday Luncheon Monday, April 18, 1921. in language, A few years ago the inducements for pur suing a college course were to prepare for a very few special fields such as law, teaching and the ministry. He who did not care for these might find his place in the Liberal Arts course where training literature and history predominated. Today as a result of the development of science and industry, a multitude of courses have been added to the college curriculum in response to-the demands the times with the result that the young of man or woman who hopes to attain the most desirable success in any one of a great many callings must So secure college varied are the requirements for these particu it lar imperative that life activities to enable students a upon college faculties large measure of in the selection of liberty the courses to be pursued. Since no one ab solutely fixed combination of subjects, how- .ever good per se, can give satisfaction. With this fundamental view of college functions in mind the committee set about the project of drafting a new course. training. seems Our efforts were directed by certain other very definite and clearly defined policies to which we adhered with unerring and insistent purpose. First, that such course of study must possess as its content those subjects which are to M. A. C. We recognized no fundamental necessity for going out into the highways to bring in something new, but simply directed our efforts to the rearranging of our existing courses in sciences, and developing the work of the the various existing departments as the particular cases seemed to de needs of mand. Second, that the new course should be one which should consist of applied science—ap plied to the lines of M. A. C. viz. Agricul ture, Engineering, Home Economics, Veteri Indeed, we hope that no stu nary Medicine. dent will pursue this course to its end with out devoting some portion of his time to the technical subjects of one or more of the other that the student shall have divisions.

This offering rests not alone upon the college interest in this line of work but also upon the need created by re the public cent schools where such work must be done in the near future. It was felt that M. A. C. ought to take high place in the development of this new expression in education. teachers for for A few details make clearer of the new course. the application 1.

In Case Kerosene Tractors a manifold heater, utilizing the heat from the engine exhaust, warms to the right temperature the air that is mixed with the kerosene before it is drawn into the cylinders. The temperature of Case 10-18 and 15-27 H. P. engines is controlled by a Sylphon Thermostat. This device regulates the cooling system circulation in such a way as to use only a small volume of water while the engine is warming up. It automatically throws into cir culation the entire cooling system when the engine has reached the proper temperature. This insures quick heating of the engine, main tains uniform temperature, and reduces to a minimum the chances for raw fuel passing by the pistons and diluting the oil in the crank case.
