ANTI-SKID CHAINS VALUABLE
Makers of Horse Accessories Learn
Excellent Lesson from Automobile
Manufacturers.

When ice forms on the streets and
motor car owners get out their chains
in order to travel in safety, it's a
poor time for the horses. They slip
around, and if they don't fall down
on their way to the blacksmith shop
to be sharp shod" they're in luck.
The sharp calks the blacksmith puts
on soon wear off, however, and then
the horse is in as bad shape as ever.
That is, unless his owner chances to
have bought him set of anti-skidding
chains.
For the makers of harness and
horse accessories have learned from
the motorist, and today chains are
made to fit horses hoofs, clad In
which they can safely traverse the
most slippery hill.
The anti-skid attachments are very
simple, consisting OF stout strap, a
bit of rope and two strong chains that
go under the horses hoof and take
firm hold on the icy surface.
Several hundred of these horse
chains" have been sold this winter,
though it costs 81 to fit a horse out.
For all four of the animals feet must

SllAGE IS GOOD FOR SHEEP
VIII Be Found Most Beneficial Feed
for Animals During Long Winter
Season for Feeding.
Ry J. G. CouRTER.l

By J. c. COURTER.)
There has been great difference OF
opinion concerning the value of silage
as sheep feed. In our opinion sill
age is good and safe feed for old and
young sheep if it is free from mold.
and if it is fed carefully. Moreover,
the central western farmer will find
silage most beneficial food to tone
up the digestive tract of his sheep
throughout the long winter season for
feeding. Silage acts through the win
through the summer, keeping bloom
and thrift on the sheep that is hard
to equal without 1t.
Lambs which are being fattened for
market need less silage than the older
ewes, and particular pains must be
taken to keep only fresh, sweet silage
for them. Cattle feeders find good
sound silage a very excellent fatten-
ing feed in itself, but sheep will not
handle as much straight silage as cat
tie.
Lambs being fed for the market
should be slowly started on silage, CIV
ing them only taste during the first
week. Gradually then for three more
weeks the quantity should be in
creased until they are getting all they
will eat up nearly clean. At the end
of the first month If such an increase
has been gradually made, cut back on
the quantity a little so as to hold
them on a feed of silage just little
smaller than they would eat If fed all
they wanted.
By so Judging their appetites and
holding them on just little less than
they would eat the feeder runs less
risk of overlooking on silage. In
quantity this would be from one to one
and one-half pound day, or two good.
big, double handfuls day.
All these rules can be changed
somewhat, of course, yet they will
serve as a reliable, practical guide,
for they are the result of experience
However, any farmer feeding silage
should remember:
1. Never feed moldy silage.
2. Never feed silage for a long
time that is noticeably sour
8. Never start in heavily at first
4. Never feed silage heavy in the
grain one day and silage light in the
grain the next.
5. Never allow silage to lay in the
troughs from one feeding time to the
other
6. Never feed silage that is notice
ably frosted.
z. Never leave the salt box empty.
s. Always watch the appetites of
the sheep, and If they seem tired of
silage cut down on the ration until
they grow eager for more.

FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
Where the Winters Are Cold and the
Shows Deep.

Writing from the vicinity David
Harum made famous, man says that
he was an habitual coffee drinker, and,
although he knew it was doing him
harm, was too obstinate to give it up,
till all at once he went to pieces with
nervousness and insomnia, loss of ap-
petite, weakness, and a generally
used-up feeling, which practically I'M
fitted him for his arduous occupation,
and kept him on couch at home
when his duty did not call him out.
While in this condition Grape
Nuts food was suggested to me, and
began to use it. Although it was in
the middle of winter, and the Their
mometer was often below zero, almost
my entire living for about six weeks
Of severe exposure was on Grape-Nuts
food with a little bread and butter and
a cup Of hot water, till 1 was wise
enough to make Postum my table bev-
erage.
After the first two weeks I began
to feel better and during the whole
winter I never lost trip on my mail
route, frequently being on the road
or hours at a time.
The constant marvel to me was
how a person could DO the amount of
work and endure the fatigue and hard
ship as l did, on so ANAL an amount
of food But I found my new rations
so perfectly satisfactory that I have
continued them-using both Postum
and Grape-Nuts at every meal, and
often they comprise my entire meal.
"All my nervousness, irritability and
insomnia have disappeared and healthy,
natural sleep has come back to me.
But what has been perhaps the great
est surprise to me is the fact that
with the benefit to my general health
has come a remarkable Improvement
in my eye-sight.

State Exhibit for Milwaukee.

A meeting to discuss tentative
plans for an exhibit next fall in
Milwaukee to demonstrate the natural
resources of Wisconsin was held in
the Republican house, Milwaukee, by
representatives Of the Wisconsin Ad-
vancement association, Citizens Bust
ness league and the Milwaukee Hotel
Mems association.
Alvin P. Kletzsch, in outlining the
purposes of the meeting, said that
such an exhibit would give prospective
settlers a fair idea OF the states re-
sources. According to the object OF
the exhibit, every possible natural re-
source of Wisconsin would be dis
played. John F. Hume said the ex-
hibit would be in the nature of a com
munity of interests" inasmuch as
each section of the state would be
given fair opportunity for display. He
said the need of such an exhibition
could not be overestimated, because
every settler Wisconsin secures is an
actual asset to all interests.
r. G. Packer of the Wisconsin bu-
reau of immigration said that Canada
is Turing many settlers from the Uni
ted States by deception, and that If
Wisconsin will show her natural re-
sources the result must benefit the
state.
At a meeting in the afternoon
committee of fifteen was appointed to
fix the date and plan for the expos1-
ton, which probably will be in the
Auditorium.

Six of the associations dissolved

should be large enough that the anil

the box, and smelling the salt through
the half-moon shaped hole, put their

Value of Roots.

The actual feeding value of roots Is
not very large, because of their large
content of moisture, there being
only from nine to thirteen per
cent of dry matter in the
roots. They have a much greater feed

ents would indicate, where there Is no
other factor in the ration which will
supply a needed succulence to produce
the best results in digestion.
