FEEDING THE STOCK

When you wean the colt give him
plenty of oats, and he will go through
all right but no other grain viii take
the place of oats.
Fattening Hogs ON Cottonseeu Meal
In fattening hogs on cottonseed meal
saws Farm and Ranch, don't add any
wheat bran, but corn chops will be ab-
solutely necessary. The wheat bran Is
too dliing In its effect and not rich
enough In nourishing material for rat
tening hogs. Use one part OF cotton
seed meal to four parts of corn chops
well soured, and give as thin slop.
wheat Bran Good For FoaIs.
Bran is very suitable as supple
mentary concentrated food for weaned
foals and young horses, says Farm
Progress. There is nothing better than
q little bran for mixing with the crush
ed oats when foaIs are being brought
ON to solid food, bran being easily di-
gested by foal when the latter is able
to deal with solid food In the case OF
sick horses and those that are conva-
lescent the inclusion of some bran in
their diet proves very beneficial. On
account of it's palatability bran tempts
the appetite Of sick horses more easily
than other dry foods.
Ration For the Horse.
From ten to twelve pounds of oats,
divided into three feeds, should be suffi-
cient concentrates for the carriage horse
for one days feeding, says Farm jour
nal. From ten to- twelve pounds of hay
should be allowed In order to bring the
total weight of the ration within the
limit OF twenty to twenty-five pounds.
Bran mashes, fed once or twice week,
have cooling effect upon the system.
Part OF the hay may be cut and mois-
tened before feeding, the remainder be-
fng fed long, "a the carriage horse has
plenty OF time for masdcatlng bis food.
Roughage For Horses.
Fodder corn, thickly grown, so that
only small nubbins form. aud cured SO
there is no dust. is one OF the best
kinds Of roughage for horse feeding.
For stations, idle horses. brood mares
and growing colts corn forage of good
quality, cured right, is one of the very
best and most economical substitutes
for timothy hay -Farm Journal.
Feed For FntteninE Lambs.
Dry corn gives better results than
soaked corn for sheep, owing to the
better secretion of saliva in eating the
dry grain, Oats prove satisfactory
ration when given to fattening lambs,
but 1t requires about % per cent more
oats than corn for given gain. 1t
requires about twice as much corn as
bran for lambs Roots should be fed
In combination with grain. A ration
OF equal parts corn and oats or two
parts oats to one of corn, fed with
roots, is an economical ration for fat
teninG lambs.

They were persons who were, or claimed

we are willing TO concede that Dowie

10 be passed through the mails he would
be amenable TO the law. Wetten also tele-
graphed TO Postmaster General George B.

claims that 10 send the last issue Of

ELKINS'S RATE BILL DRAWN.
Provides for Suits In L. =. Circuit Courts
AGAINST Unreasonable Carriers.

WASHINGTON, Jan Ex-senator Elkins
of West Virginia, chairman of the Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce, has COM
pleted the final draft Of his bill, which il
intended to be a compromise in rate legis-
lation upon which the President, the shippers
and the railroads can agree. The measure
provides that if rate charged by carrier
is complained of as unjust and unreasonable
the shipper may go into the United States
Circuit Court of any district through which
the carriers right of way extends, and
begin suit in his own name, or refer his
complaint to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which shall in its judgment
begin suit agains, the carrier for such un-
just or unreasonable charge. The costs
Of the suit in either case are to be borne
by the Government unless the case is de-
cCed adverse to the carrier, in which cas-
the costs fall upon the defendant.
The Court shall make in vestGation
without delay and if it finds that the rate
complained of is an unreasonable rate, it
shall make an order at once requiring the
carrier to make a substitute rate within
thirty days from the date of the order. If
the carrier fails to make substitute rate
within that time or submits a substitute
rate which in the judgment o. the Court
is still an unreasonable rate the Court
shall direct the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to fix a maximum rate which shall
thereafter be the rate for period of one
year.

a continuous violation of an order. made

Railroads Have q Reason for Wishing

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. 1.-THE St
Louis and San Francisco Railroad Com
pany and the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific Railroad Company filed answers
to-day to the charges of giving rebates
to the Pabst private car lines. The answers
are almost identical vii h that of the Chicago
and Alton. Admission was made that an
agreement had existed between the rail-
roads and tn, Milwaukee Refrigerator
Transit Company, but it was formally
denied that the officers Of the railroad
knew that the Pabst Brewing Company
was in control of the Milwaukee Refrg-
orator Transit Company
THO answers admitted that the railroads
h"d agreed to fay to the refrigerator COM
pany Il percentage of the tariff rates on all
freight routed over their lines by lie private
car line company. 1t was declared that
the giving Of this percent was not in viola
ton of the act Of Congress specified in the
bill of complaint. Although the railroad
men hesitate to say so openly it is gen
orally understood that they really desire
the cases to go against them, so that they
may have better excuse for ultimately
refusing to haul the cars of any private
car line company Refrigerator cars are
being added To the equipment of nearly
all the roads entering Chicago, with this
end in view, it is said.
