CANADIAN CUSTOMS
CONFISIcATION

We have q communication from Mr..
G. G. Allen who is in charge of the Can
adian customs department at Emerson,
referring to an article in last weeks Pi.
oneer Express in which we stated that
no horses we're now allowed to leave Can
ada to come across the line. AS there
mentioned many persons returning to
this side with their stock and house.
hold goods have been compelled to un-
load from the cars and sell their horses
for whatever they could get at forced
sale. because of this regulation. We
have learned since of several cases where
such horses we're sold for less than half
value.
Mr.. Allen encloses clipping from the
Toronto Globe which reads as follows:-
''No HORSES ARE ALLOWED
TO BE TAKEN FROM CANADA
Sarnia, Sept. S-Orders have been re-
ceived at the customs offices here that
no horses are to be allowed to leave
Canada. This means just what it says,
with no exceptions. A person desiring
to visit Port Huron for an hour or two
cannot take his horse out of Canada, and
draymen and eApressmen moving stuff
to the other side cannot take their horses
across on the ferry-boat. Not only that,
but people living in Port Haron or any.
where in the United States cannot bring
their horses back from Canada if they
once land them on Canadian soil.'
On receipt of the above we called Mr..
Allen up on the phone and asked him il
his Office intended to carry out the regu.
lations to the extreme as indicated ir
the clipping above cited and his reply
was, that 1t was the law and that the
persons driving horses across the line
would take their own risk as to getting
hack here again.

parent effect than to kill off production
in Louisiana and in the growing of cane
sugar, which thus cutting off the supply
here left sugar at the same price as be-
fore.
That the tariff revenue was to be re-
duced, was anticipated by the democrats
is made certain by the fact that they
levied an income tax to make up the ex-
pected shortage.
In fact the whole business of raising
revenue comes down to the amount need
ed and how it shall be raised.
The democrats argue that protection
to our own manufacturers is sort of
public robbery, but they have to levy
the amount needed in some way,-and
mostly by direct taxation, as in case of
the income tax. Republicans believe
that as we must raise the money, that
the best way is to place duties on such
imported goods as will make the prices
of such goods equal to the cost of manu-
facture in this country. thereby raising
the money and incidentally protecting
our own people.
This war in itself will act on almost
the same principle as a protective tar
lit Already the papers and even dem
ocratic papers and statesmen are point
ing out the opportunities created for new
American manufactures of goods here
tofore obtained in Germany and other
European countries, because we cannot
obtain such goods as readily, or unless
we pay very much higher prices. This
is exactly the underlying principle of
the protective tariff, by making the pric.
es of imports high we encourage our own
people to produce the same goods at
home.
Thus our friends the democrats are
really levying protective tariff of a
hundred millions of dollars.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

As told in last weeks issue, the Ger
man army made its stand along the river
Aisne, occupying astrong position which
nthey Immediately strongly entrenched

about hundred miles. They have also
received some reinforcements.
The allied forces following closely rang
ed against the Germans and also en-
+ lnched.
Mt For now abont twelve days the two
armies have been struggling, each to find
weak spot in the others lines, and so
far without definite success. The fight
ing is mostly done with heavy artillery
of which both parties seem to have
plenty. The batteries on either side are
usually hidden and the use of smokeless
powder makes it difficult to find the
range. Almost always when the position
is located the battery is either shelled
Out or IS assaulted by the infantry, the
2 latter usually take the battery but at
heavy loss.
The heaviest fighting has been along
the center near Rheims where the Ger
mans have made heavy attacks in force
evidently trying to take that city as it is
a railroad center and fortified. The fam

While the Germans are battering away
at the center, the allies have been trying
hard to get around the German right on
the west and according late reports
have succeeded to some extent though
it has taken heavy fighting for many
& rs to do it. But this turning move.

other day, IL this be fed regularly.
Some green feed was given at the
same time, but this was not consid-
cred, although doubtless OF value to
the ration. On farm, milk would be
good substitute for the meat.
This ration is for hens confined in
yards where they cannot get any feed
except that given to them.
Hens at liberty do not need meat
feed during the warm months when
insects and worms abound, nor do
they need any green stun Of any kind.
A Leghorn hen needs more feed in
proportion to her weight than does a
Wyandotte or Plymouth Rock. would
say that a good ration for one of the
larger breeds would be four ounces Of
grain per day, with meat every other
day, as in the case Of the Leghorns.
Hens may be fed a much larger ra-
ton than they need. for they will eat
as long as they can swallow-their
craws not seeming to have any feel
ing Of repletion.
The properly-fed hen will lay to the
limit OF her capacity on considerably
less feed than is generally given. A
good many hens do not pay because
OF too liberal feeding.

Wood ashes should never be used, as

WHAT A MACHINE SHED SAVES

The binder left out out behind the
corn crib or out under the willows
will rust out in from five to seven
years. So will many other farm
implements. The damage to the
binder will amount to $50 a year.
To build a shed and work room
combined which would house the
binder the cultivators, the manure
spreader, the plows, the mower and
other implements Of the average
i60-acre farm, will cost $780, says
w. +. Fudden in the Missouri Valley
Farmer, and every year the shed
will pay back a rich dividend. A
shed will make a binder last twice
as long and save $40 a year on the
price Of that machine alone.

cry MILLER PuRvIsJ


A great many fiocks OF hens are fed
too much. When this is the case the
hens get hot, their muscles become
flabby, and they do not lay well.
Hens which are fed literally take
on fat very quickly unless means TO
compel them to exercise is furnished.
This may be accomplished by throw.
ing their feed grain into litter OF some
kind where they must scratch 1t out.
Hens that are exercised in this way
remain healthy and strong and lay
regularly. unless too much grain Is
thrown into the litter.
Naturally. hens that are underfed
will not lay. so II becomes a matter OF
Importance to know just how much
should be fed to a hen to keep her
healthy and in laying condition. This
matter has been tested many times
and the conclusions do not seriously
differ.
In my own experience have found
that a Leghorn hen will maintain
health. vigor and capacity to lay regu.
larry on three ounces OF mixed grain
day. with half an ounce OF dried
and ground beef scraps substituted
for the same weight OF grain every

POULTRY FREE FROM VERMIN
Most Difficult and Trying Problem 10
to Keep Plant Free From Lice
Proper Procedure.

One OF the most difficult and try
err has TO meet is that OF keeping his
poultry houses and stock reasonably
free from lice. mites and other exter-
nal parasites. There are many pro-
prietary preparations on the market
designed to accomplish this end in
one way or another. Most of these
preparations are. in proportion to
their efficiency. very expensive.
In keeping a poultry plant free
from lice there are two points OF at
tack; One, the birds themselves; the
other. the houses, nest boxes, roost-
ing boards, etc. For the birds them
selves experience has shown that
the best way to get rid of the lice
is by the use OF busting powder to
be worked into the feathers. In us.
ing any kind OF lice powder on poul-
try, II should always be remembered
that a single application OF powder
is not sufficient When there are lice
present on a bird there are always
uhiidtNhtu tbES VI iiCt mus pres
ent too. The proper procedure is to
follow up a first application of pow
der with a second at an interval of
four days to a week. II the birds are
badly infested at the beginning II
may be necessary TO make a third ap-
plication. To clean the cracks and
crevices OF the woodwork OF houses
and nests OF lice and vermin. a liquid
spray or paint is probably the most
desirable form of application.
When the pullets are ready to go
into the laying houses they should be
free from lice. The laying houses
should be given a thorough cleaning.
They should be first scraped, secured
and washed out with water thrown
on the walls and floor with as much
pressure as possible from hose.
They are then given two thorough
sprayings. with an interval OF several
days intervening. with a solution OF
cresol. Then roosting boards, nests,
floors and walls to a height OF about
five feet are thoroughly sprayed with
the lice paint kerosene oil and crude
carbolic acid described above) Final.

COOPERATIVE FARMING

In this age OF cooperation, IN
which manufacturing and CONNER
cial interests have attained wonder
full development and success by
merging their resources, il is not to
be wondered at that cooperation
has slowly but inevitably wended its
way into rural life. The old meth
cd Of individualsm is gradually Civ
ing way to the cooperative spirit
and the result is a greatly reduced
cost Of living and lessened expense
Of farming.
Kentucky farmers are leading the
cooperative movement and il Is
gradually being extended into every
feature Of community life.

The Tunis sheep utilized in the
breeding experiments of the Arizona
station farm have developed great eff
cheney as Johnson grass exterminators
Director Forbes says that It's OF these
sheep were sufficient to keep down the
Johnson grass on five miles OF weedy
bitches during the entire growing sea
son. They saved the cost OF ditch
cleaning and at the same time made
wool and mutton grow where one OF
the most stubborn weeds of Arizona

HOW TO IMPROVE LAMB CROP
Practice Of Allowing Youngsters to
Run With Mothers Until Breeding
Time 10 Objectionable.

Lambs should be weaned when from
four to four and one-half months old
So says Frank Kleinheinz, shepherd
OF the University fiocks, In answer
to numerous inquiries upon this sub
ject
Many fiockmasters allow the lambs
to run with their mothers until breed
ing time. This Mr.. Kleinheinz re-
CARDS as very Objectionable for 1t an
noys the ewes and keeps them In poor
condition. Moreover, at this time the
lambs get but little mix and they
will really do better without It,
When taken from their mothers,
the lambs should be put on a piece of
fresh pasture, which will help to
avoid much Of the stomach worm
trouble.
After weaving time the ewes should
be put on a scant pasture for about
a week in order to dry them up quick
ly During this period they should be
MIXED few times to prevent the
udder from caking and as soon as
they are fairly dry they ought to be
placed on good pasture again. where
they will put on flesh and become
strong and vigorous before they are
bred in the fall.
Early weaving and good care Of the
ewes after the lambs are taken away
enables the ewes to go into winter
quarters in good condition, thus aid
ing winter feeding and insuring a
large crop of strong lambs in the
spring.
