United States Cavalry Horse.

The public generally knows that the
government has outlined a plan to
encourage the breeding Of horses for
the army whereby mare owners in
suitable sections will have the com.
mand>of service to first-class stations
Tree, In return for which they agree
to give, the United States options on
resulting foals at a fair price. The
plan was taken up as a means to pro-
vide a good supply of horses such as
the army needs, which, strange as it
may seem, is rapidly becoming more
and more limited. An appropriation
was suggested at the last session of
congress, but no action was taken,
one objection being that the plan was
not practical-that farmers would not
enter into such agreements with the
government.
Fortunately, funds were available to
make an experiment to determine this
point. Mr. August Belmont, of New
York. presented to the government

partment of Agriculture placed them
at the command of farmers in the
vicinity of Front Royal, Virginia, on
exactly the terms outlined in the gov
ernment plan.
BY the approval Of the war depart
ment, the price to be paid for the
resulting foals at three years of age
was $3.50, and no difficulty whatever
was experienced in getting farmers to
breed their mares under these terms.
About so mares were bred, the stall
lions reaching Virginia somewhat late
in the season and Octagon's usefulness
being curtailed by a severe attack Of
distemper.
The interest of the Virginia farm
ers is keen, and already fifty addi-
tional mares have been offered for the
season of 1912, and the services of
more stations could easily be utilized.

RANGE LAMBS

Benefit From Manure

(By w. M. Kelley


The great advantage of feeding
lambs is the fact that the home
grown forage and folders together
with the otherwise waste products of
the farm may be turned to profit.
This may be done with a minimum
expense for the purchase of highly
concentrated by-product foods and
mill-feeds that are required to make
q satisfactory fattening ration for
other kinds of stock.
Feeding range lambs like other
branches Of sheep feeding is sure to
become more popular as farmers ap-
preciate the necessity of cutting out
the purchase of large amounts of
grain food and feeding class of live
stock that are capable of turning
their grain food and forage that is
grown on their own farms to a profit.
Practically every line of feeding
that Is conducted outside of the corn
belt states has been developed upon a
basis Of cheap grain foods and now
that every kind Of grain foods have
reached a price that makes their use
almost out of the question, the aver
age feeder is finding his profits grow
Ing smaller.
The men who have been feeding
sheep have not felt the rise in grain
prices as severely as other feeders
because sheep can be put in good con-
dition with smaller quantity OF grain
and concentrates. In feeding range
lambs the feeder not only makes a
profit on the original cost of the
lambs, but as well on the cost of the
food which is grown on their farms,
and in addition there is large return
of fertility to the soil, when the man.
ure Is carefully handled.
In England this branch of feeding
has been conducted for many years
and 1t has been found very profit
able way to increase the fertility OF
the soil as well as profitable way to
utilize grain, grass and root crops.
Many. of the English feeders buy our
corn, oilmeals and even hay and
derive substantial profit from their
feeding. Is 1t not fully practicable
and possible for the farmers Of this
country to conduct the same line of
feeding when they have every reQui-

There are excellent inducements to

Inadequacy of Life-Saving Appliances

and should be considered in this con-
nection:
The insuficiency of lifeboats, RATS,
ETC.; lack of trained seamen to man
same (stokers, stewards, ETC., are not
efficient boat handlers); not enough
officers TO carry out emergency orders
on the bridge and superintend the
launching and control of lifeboats; alb
sence of searchlights.
The board of trade rules allow for
entirely too many people in each boat
to permit the same to be properly
handled. On the Titanic the boat deck
was about rs feet above water, and
consequently the passengers were re-
quired to embark before lowering
boats, thus endangering the operation
and preventing the taking on of the
maximum number the boats would

in a smooth sea and with no moon, the
ship struck an iceberg which had been
reported to the bridge by lookouts, but
not early enough to avoid collision.
Steps we're taken to ascertain the
damage and save passengers and ship.
Orders were given to put on life belts
and the boats were lowered.
The ship sank at about 1920 a m.

at intervals from the ship.
Fortunately, the wireless message
