With a winter of high priced feeds
ahead. the owner OF work horses will
find 1t profitable to give little more
thought than usual to grain rations for
his animals. He may substitute some
Of the concentrated feeds for oats to
good advantage, both as to keeping his
horses in prime condition and as to
economy in feeding.
Extensive experiments conducted by
the Iowa agricultural experiment sta
ton indicate that much. For a consid-
cradle period the station work horses
were fed on a variety of rations. one
consisting solely of corn and oats. an
other of corn, oats and oil meal, a
third of corn, oats and cottonseed
meal. and fourth In which gluten
was substituted for the meals The
feeds were proportioned approximately
as follows by weight: Corn. IA; oats.

The results Of the experiment were
explained In bulletin No. 1O9 Of the

case was due to the illness of Kelly's
counsel, J. t. Mulvaney. Consider.
able criticism has been heaped up.
on the county officers for not taking
up the case more quickly. Judge
Bradshaw, however, is anxious to
give the young physician a fair trial
and, tnasmuch as the attorney in
charge Of his case has been unable
to appear In court, it was decided to
allow the trial to go over until such
time as 1t would be possible for him
to be present.

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

until they would bleed before could

would scale over, and the flesh UNI
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes 1t would begin to itch until
1t would waken me from my sleep,
and would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced 1t dry
eczema" used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but 1t did no good.

cura Remedies. As this trouble has
