Commission Wars on ambush" Scale.
The state dairy and food commits
sion has already begun the enforce
ment of the new weights and meas
ures law, and the public is just be-
ginning to realize it's comprehensive
ness.
For example, there are many hun
dreds of computing scales in Wiscon-
sin that are correct in pound and
ounce graduations but whose compu-
tations are not correctly shown. Since,
as rule, the dealers looks only at
the computing chart, this is only an
other way of securing an illicit gain.
Automatic measuring pumps for
measuring kerosene must measure the
amount called for. Owing to leaky
valves, broken parts, or the setting
of the stops wrongly, many such
pumps deliver less than the full
measure. Many worn, Clipped and
rusted weights are used in Wisconsin
that must go.
Many wagon scales have bearings
and pivots so worn and rusted as to
totally unfit them for their intended
purpose. During the average life of
a wagon scale about 100000 worth of
produce is weighed over It. Should
such scale show an error of one
per cent. someone is the loser by
$4,000.
Many dry goods stores have coun-
ter tacks with heads ranging from
one-fourth to three-eighths of an inch
in diameter. Here is another oppor-
tunity for dishonest dealer to de-
fraud his customers, as measuring
from inside to inside is one length
and outside to outside is another. The
new regulations specify that only
one-eighth inch tacks will be per-
mitted.
Dry capacity measures hereafter
must be marked on the side to indi7
cate what they hold. Dry struck
measures must be of the following
interior capacities respectively

their mares while they are nursing
colts. They even have their foals
dropped in the fall and allow them
to suck all winter, thinking that they
can work their mares harder in the
spring with little risk and reduce the
number of horses kept. This prac-
tice should be discouraged, for it is
unnatural and the foals are usually
runty and not properlJ developed.
The brood mare nursing the foal
should not work in harness more than
half of the time. She can be worked
until week before foaling, and again
seven to ten days after foaling, work
ing half time, on pasture the other
half. When five or six weeks old, the
foal may be fed few handfulS OF
grain while it's mother is working.
Never allow the foal to follow the
mare when she is in harness.
Some time before the foal is
weaned, and the sooner the better
after it is one month old, it should
be halter broken. If it can be tied
up for few hours each day beside
toned to the halter and stand at
ease A halter broken foal that has
learned at weaving time to eat grain
will thrive if properly fed. 1t should
then weigh $40 pounds. With this
start in life it needs liberal feeding,
abundant exercise and good shelter
to bring out all that is best in him.
Fourteen pounds of the following mix
ture by weight should be fed daily in
four allotments, moistened with water
or milk:
Crushed oats .................6 go lbs.
Corn meal Observation-Disclosures. 30 lbs.
Bran ..s.s Id IDS
Cut alfalfa hay ...............2O lbs.
If fed intelligently on this ration
during the first winter, the draft foal
will weigh from 1850 to 1900 pounds
when one year old.
