them to flight in battle of editorials.
Completing the staff Of the new mag
azine are Mrs Harriet Stanton Batch,
PRESIDENT Elizabeth Ellsworth Cook,
vice president; Marcia Townsend, treas
urer; Eunice Dana Brannan, chairman
of the finance committee, and Caroline
Lexow, field secretary
Mrs. De Forest is daughter of Mrs
Batch, the president. The younger
woman has had notable career as a
mechanical engineer. She is the only
woman member of the American So
ciety of Engineers and has designed
many steel skyscrapers in New York.
Miss Brown has gained prominence
in New York as an active worker in
women's club affairs She is very high
ly experienced in newspaper work by
reason of having done much independ-
ent writing for the various papers. The
work of the intrepid woman editors
for the near future will be principally
devoted to obtaining woman suffrage
In New York state In 1915, according
to a statement over the first editorial
column
That this is imminently possible Is
supported by the recent action of the
judiciary committees Of the state leg
islature in reporting the bill giving
equal suffrage to women. This move
now puts the suffrage question In line
to 60 through the legislature and be put
mp to the whole people In referendum
vote in 1915. Obviously the suffrage
hosts had better keep up a campaign
before the whole people. who shall In
two years be the final Judge Of the big
question.
Just to give you an idea Of the view
point and the editorial processes Of the
Women's Political World. here is one
Of the editorials Of thaf rst issue:
"We congratulate our plucky sisters
on the success of their INTERCHANGEABLE
pilgrimage to Albany, 1t has adver-
tised the cause throughout the world
1t has shown that women accomplish
what they set out to do In spite Of
rain and snow, in spite of some ridi-
Guile and adverse prophecies by the
way. They have stirred up the rural
districts between New York and AL
bany and have shown the farmers that
suffragists are not all tenderfeet They
have accomplished much good without
harming themselves We hope that
there may be many more pilgrimages
throughout the state to help win the
referendum In 1915"
In another editorial a politician who
said the hike would lose 100000
votes for the suffrage cause Is laughed
at. This man missed election by 2OO,-
600 votes" it reads.

SilaQe For Horses.

The Pennsylvania station expert
mented with feeding horses silage, and
here is what Professor COchel says Of
feeding it to draft horses:
Silage which is made from mature
corn, Is free from mold, has not
been exposed to air too long
feeding and is properly supplemented
with other feeds which will make up
the deficiency in protein can be fed to
horses with safety when care is used
to have them become gradually accus-
toned to it.
Horses fed silage as a portion of
their ration consumed less grain, made
their gains at lesser cost per pound
were sleeker and better finished than
when fed on rations not containing
silage. o.

He was wanted as witness before

His testimony, 1t has been declared,

make it a. practice to feed sloop, or at
least considerable water, up until the
very last Of the feeding process. and
the majority of them warm the water
they use. Warm water helps to break
down the feed better, and it induces a
better circulation of blood to the d.
gestive tract than does cold water.
One Of the great difficulties always
encountered with breeding sows dur
ing the winter is to get them to drink
sufficient water. They should drink a
great deal Of 1t, not alone because they
need 1t for body functions. but also
that they will be kept satisfied without
eating 80 much dry feed as to make
them overfat Water fllls without fur
nishing many nutrients

water begins to get real cold hogs re-

fore they are satisfied. II, on the other
hand. the water is warmed and is
mixed In sufficient quantity with their
feed they will take It into their sys-
TENS without the slightest objections
and will be much better of for it.
The feed bill will also be smaller at
the same time. Whether the slop is
warmed for fattening stock or not, we
would certainly advise that it be for

Mrs. Marshall is the particular, enar-
getc and courageous member of the
victorious Democratic ranks who de-
serves rewards and who probably will
get them. Before she became "gover-
nor's lady" Mrs. Marshall put up the
finest kind of stumping tour with
her husband. And in the presidential
campaign also she was an ever pres

1t is expected Mrs. Marshall will hold
a prominent place in the social life of
Washington for the next four years.
Mrs. Marshalrs entrance into public

If you have any stubble ground that
wasn't plowed last fall go over it with
a disk before blowing next spring.
This will not only aid In conserving
moisture, but it will also enable you
to produce better seed bed later on.
The best farmers are diskinc before

ORLEANS TO HAVE CURFEW.

The annual village meeting held in
