the feed they will eat. You may have
been foolish to grow the colts; in
fact, you were. You can foresee GER
tain loss in keeping them. Therefore,
sell them. Somebody will be foolish
enough to buy them. Sell them. You
may have to sell them at a loss. They
have eaten their heads off already.
Pocket your loss like a man.
You may have young cattle that
are well bred but stunted. The prob
ability is that they are not well bred,
have not in them the possibilities of
paying for the feed you will be
obliged to give them. Gull them out,
sell them to some man who thinks
he a use them. There are plenty
of such. At any rate, you cannot af-
ford to give them stable room and
feed and to put in your time caring
for them, when you know certainly
that the time and feed and are will
be wasted. To use an expression COM
ing from the mountains of Tennessee,
they are not worth foddering.
We are quite sure you have dairy
cows in your herd that will waste
the grain you feed them this year.
IL you have taken Our advice,
weighed the milk and tested it, you
know which COWS these are. If you
have not, then the sooner o go to
work to find out the better. About
one-third Of the cows in the herds
on the ordinary farms Of the corn
belt are Of this calss; and We have
pleaded and entreated and scolded
our readers for years past to get ac-
quainted and separate the precious
from the vile. These improbable
cows should be sold. There are two
ways Of doing this. One is to sell
them to some neighbor farmer who
wants to begin dairying. You can sell
them to him easily enough, if you will
stretch their milking qualities a lit
tie; but don't do that, even if he is
fool enough to be willing to buy them.
Fatten these COWS as soon as you
can and sell them to the butcher, and
thus do a service to the dairy inter
ests of your state. Gull out your
dairy herd. Keep only those that will
pay you a fair profit for the good feed
you are obliged to give them this
year.
You have no doubt a good many
pigs in your herd that are not doing
we'll. Gull these out. You can prob
ably sell them to some man who is
feeding cattle and wants to utilize
the waste. He can afford to keep
them better than you can, His feed
costs him nothing, anL he can make
good money out of pigs that will
'ose you money day by day. If you
can not do this, then fit them the best
you can and sell them as soon as
they are in marketable condition.
After you have culled your herds
you will take better care of what re-
mainr. You will get better pay for
them. You will have more respect
tor yourself, and the ~neighbors will
have a higher respect for you. This
culling is not a matter to be done
some n year, but every year; but it
is a matter Of importance in a year
when prices Of grain and forage are
as high as they are likely to be the
coming winter.

His First THANKSGIVING.

Il went to a Thanksgiving dinner in
Paris last November" said an Amer
lean who had just returned from a
year abroad. Most of the guests
were Frenchmen, Germans, Italians
and Russians. The hostess was an
American, a New York woman who
has been living abroad for several
years, and who entertains lavishly in
the French capital
"On the table were all sorts of
things to remind one of home. There
were lights in pumpkins on the table
and all sorts of American dishes, in
GLIDING a turkey, which the hostess
announced she herself would carve on
the table in the American fashion. But
the majority of the guests failed to
grasp the significance of the feast and
sat about trying to veil their aston
fshment at everything, even to the
pumpkin pie, which they could be in
duced to attempt with difficulty. None
OF the foreigners seemed to know
what Thanksgiving was.

ENGLISH WOMEN IN RIOT;
STORM DOORS OF COMMONS
OVe> Two Hundred Sufsragettes

Smashed.

London.-The Campaign of dem
onstration'' which the suffra gettes
decided to make was begun last night
with riots of unexampled violence in
the West end of London and the par
Elephants were roughly handled by the
police.
They had threatened to force their
way into the house of commons and
make a protest on the fl2or of the
house against the prime minister's
refusal to pledge the government to
a bill giving equal suffrage to both
sexes, but they failed even to reach
the entrance to parliament.
Thwarted by the police, who ar
rested 220 women and three men, the
suffragettes resorted to window
smashing. Driven from Parliament
square by the police, 1900 of whom
were on duty, the women, accom-
panied by sympathizers and gangs of
rowdies, proceeded through Whitehall
armed with bags of stones concealed
under their coats and broke windows
in public buildings.

Through Decision.

Chicago.-A delay of at least
two days in the beginning OF the
trial of the nine Chicago packers in
dicted for violating the Sherman anti
trust law was secured by their coun-
sci in the federal district court here.
The delay was granted by Judge c..
G. Kohlsaat in the United States cir
cult court after the defendants had
been defeated in efforts to make eff
fective a writ Of habeas corpus. An
appeal to the United States Supreme
court was allowed by Judge Kohlsaat
After deciding to quash the writ of
habeas corpus and ordering the de-
fe1sdants remanded to their sureties,
Judge Kohlsaat agreed to delay for
NAL entry of his decision and order
for two days. This, it is asserted,
will postpone the opening of the
criminal trial Of the packers long
enough to permit the indicted
men to get their appeal to the United
States Supreme court, before they au-
tomatically accept jurisdiction in the
district court by appearing at the trial
there.
James Sheean of special counsel for
the government, made sharp objection
to this delay.
