PATRIOTISM OF JAPANESE.
From Empress Down to Peasant Girl
AL Make Sacrifices to Help
Relief Fund.

Societies and associations have been
organized in Japan to relieve the fam
lilies of the fighting men, and every one
makes certain contributions to the relief
fund. Some men contribute money or
goods, some their labor, and most of the
lint and bandage used for ehe wounded
are the works of women, from the en-
press down to the peasant girl, writes
N~obushige Amenomori, in Atlantic.
Little boys and girls willingly fbrego
their daily sweetmeats, and give tho
small moneys thus saved to the relief
societies. A boy Il years old in a country
school made one day a contribution Of
two yen. 1t was thought too much fora
country boys gift The school-teacher
and the alderman of the village suspect
ed the money might have been given the
lad by his parents to satisfy his vanity;
in which cast 1t should be admonished
against. An inquiry was accordingly
made, and brought out the fact that the
boy had actually earned the money for
the purpose by devoting his play hours
to the making of straw sandals. Even
some criminals working In prisons have
made several applications to contribute
their earnings to the funds, though
their wishes have not been compiled
with. In every village a compact has
been made that those remaining at home
should look after the farms of those at
the front, so that their families may not
be disappointed of the usual crops.
Since the outbreak of the war the gov
bonds have been twice issued
home, and each time the subscription
more than trebled the amount called for,

by subscribing 10000 900 yen. Thus the

RATION FOR WORK HORSES
A Combination of Oats and Corn
Makes a Wholesome and Most
Economical Feed,

We should always remember that
oats form the ideal grain food for the
horse, writes Prof. W. A. Henry, Of
the Wisconsin college Of agriculture,
ne kernel proper contains q large
amount of nutrimcnt, The hulls sur
rounding the grain give the material
bulk, tending thereby to prevent over
feeding, and at the same time render
ing the food light and easy to diges
ion by the fluids Of the stomach.
Where horses are hard worked one
should depart from the oat ration with
caution, and learn by experience what
can be accomplished. The farmer
might well try bran and gluten feed
as partial substitutes for oats. Re
member that bran ia light and par.
tally inert SO that ii may take the
place OF a small portion of the hay
II rmerly consumed. On the other
hand, 1t furnishes to the horse proba-
bly, three-iiftbs or three-fourths as
much nutTimenl as the same weight of
cats, In using gluten feed, remem-
Der that It is considerably higher in
protein than oats and almost or quite
as rich as the carbohydrates. In the
trial reduce the Uat allowance one
third and substitute a mixture of bran
and gluten feed equal parts by weight.
Remember, too, that corn can al.
ways be fed TO horses with satisfac-
ton. There is a limit. however, 10
its Use, and In ouch cases "a these the
supply should not be large. For one
feed each day allow Il couple of pounds
Of corn In substitution for the same
OF oats. Remember that corn causes
horses TO sweat easily II fed in large
quantities. 1t is q better winter than
summer food Corn ia q strong, hearty
food and Is much appreciated by hard
horses, because it does furnish
much energy. In the southern
part Of the corn belt horses live al
most wholly upon corn Farther north
where oats ara the main crop they

3etter than to feed either SO exclusive.
