To this end it is suggested that the
! president set congress to the task:
First, of making such amendments
to the financial laws as will result in
the maximum of leXibility with the
minimum of basic change in our sys-
TEN.
Next. and perhaps the most in i'm
portance, that the president embody
his suggestions on corporation control
into sufficient recommendations for en-
actment into law.
That the president has given the re-
quest for AN extra session careful
consideration is indicated by those
who have been asked to lend their ad-
vice in the matter.

EXTRA SESSION MAY Be CALLED
PRESIDENT is URGED TO ISSUE
GALL BY CONSERVATIVE
FINANCIERe.

Washington, Nov. Sit was learned
here Saturday from undoubted sources
that President Roosevelt is being urg-
ed to call an extra session of congress
to deal with the financial situation.
The request ONE from %conserva-
tive leaders in the financial world.
The president has been assured
from most reliable sources that there
will be no opposition ON the part OF the
great industries of the country to the
enactment of laws necessary to carry
out his ideas of federal control.
These assurances are made at this
time to avert what has been repre-
sented as the most dangerous situation
which has confronted the country dur
ing an extended period-that is, the
seeming growing lack of confidence,
based on known irregularities in bust
ness methods in some quarters and no
sure and speedy means of separating
the good from the unsound.

CnrrOfa for H0rnes.

Carrots are often looked on as a kind
of delicate food for sick horses. If a
horse is out of sorts and off his feed,
refusing almost everything and eating
with the greatest Indifference, and car
rots are offered they are eaten at once
with much appreciation. They help to
restore the appetite and give condition
TO the horse. In these respects carrots
are invaluable and may be looked on
as safe ~correctives.
But their usefulness extends beyond
the period of sickness and depression,
and horses in health may receive them
frequently as a good food TO maintain
condition and activity. When first
given their effect is a little laxative,
but that Is desired in many cases, and
once given regularly they act as quail
flying food. They are an excellent food
for itchy horses and all in bad coat, as
they are cooling TO the blood and give
a glow to the hair.
Horses of all ages may receive them,
including w the youngest backward
foals. Carrots should not be looked
on as mere additions to other foods,
but substitutes for them, as they are
quite capable of acting as a real food.
They should be pulped and mixed with
grain or chaff. Half a bushel a day

Cotfonseed NeaI for Mich Cows.

VI "
The Mississippi Experiment Station
has made some experiments with large
feeding OF cottonseed meal to mich
COWS which are interesting, as they
show that liberal rations of cotton seed
al be fed with no bad results.
The station nerd was fed daily
for Il period Of two weeks on a ration
composed of ten pounds of cowpea
hay, twenty pounds of corn silage, four
pounds of wheat bran, five pounds of
cottonseed meal, and the milk during
the last two days of this period was
made into butter.
In the two weeks following, six
pounds of the corn and cob meal was
substituted for the cotton seed, and
the butter made as before. The but
ter was sent to st. Louis, where Ii
was scored as follows, on a scale of
100:
Butter from the cottonseed meal,
95A pounds.
Butter from the whole cotton seed,
96 points.
Butter from the corn and cob meal,
96 points.
The finding Of the station was that
as there was practically no difference
in the score. the quality of the butter
was not injured by feeding as much
as five pounds of ~cottonseed meal or
| six pounds of cotton seed.
The test also showed that this cot.
| tonseed butter melted at 101.1 degrees
Fahrenheit, while that from cows fed
on cotton seed melted at 9S.S degrees
Fahrenheit, thus showing the former to
be a better shipping butter.

the most popular. And not this only
On account of It's cheapness, but as well
for It's intrinsic value as a nutri.
ment, and equally for the invaluable
position the sheep has taken by force
of its profitable character as farm live
stock.
We are, however, very far behind the
English farmers In regard to our
flocks. We have fewer sheep, and
what we have are far less valuable
We are not mutton eaters; while the
English people use more mutton thar
any other kind of meat. In the at.
tention to all interests of our people
our scien lists have analysed and in
vestlgateC the qualities OF mutton in
every possible way, to the end that
the existing prejudice which Is
wholly unwarranted-might be remov.
ed and various publications in this
interest have spread abroad the in
formation these people have gathered
under the unquestionable authority of
scientific research. And all the results
reached after many years Of the strict
est possible investigation combine to
prove, over and owe again, that the
meat of the sheep is the most econom.

healthful, and the most agreeable Of
all the flesh meats In present use.

any In Manitoba. The whole of his
holding is in a high state of cultivation
and literally crowded with splendid

though heavy storms have more than
once occurred within a few miles. The
potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he
