FEEDING R0UGHAGE TO STOCK
Great Danger Of Animals Overlooking
and Seriously Impairing Their Di-

An oversupply OF roughage in racks

of feed, but there is greater danger

since they must consume a sufficient
quantity to maintain normal flesh and
keep up the heat unnecessary for sup
plying their bodies with warmth
Oilmeal is SO loosening in its
effect that 1t Is very easy to overfeed
on this ration. While We would feed
only about one-fourth pint for every
one hundred pounds the animal
weighs, there are cases in which this
would be too much while in others II
would be sufficient When feeding
it, watch the results closely and guage
your future feeding by them.
Don't get too enthusiastic in feeding
oilmeal, as 1t is a concentrated ration.
One and half TO two pounds will be
sufficient for the dairy cows. along
with other rations daily. Hogs will
require an amount in proportion to
their size, and horses will need it only
occasionally-twice or three times a
week-as a sort of change from the
bulkier feeds.
The proportion of live to dead
weight in cattle and sheep varies &C

NOW CONSID ;RING
LIGHT RATE CASE HEARD AT
BOISE-MOSCOW RATE NOT
YET SETTLED
Expected the Commission Will Estab-
lish Those Rates as Fixed Lately
by City Council

! According to information lately re
ceived, it appears that the Washington
Water Power company, at the recent
hearing in the Moscow rate case be-
fore the public utilities commission
proposed that the residential rate for
Moscow be substantially the same as
that fixed by the resolution of the city
council, that is:
First 8 XIV. hrs. Or less. 81 90
Next IL XIV. hrs. or less at..... lie
Next 10 XIV hrs. or less at.s.. 10c
All over 80 XIV. hrs. in one mo. at. Sc
1t was argued that it would be i'm
possible to keep a record of the con-
nected loads in residences, and the
commission was asked to omit the
qualification based on the connected
load.
A commercial rate, based on the use
Of the connected load, was proposed.
The first XIV. hrs. or less per month
was offered for $1.00, the next 64
hours use of the connected load at lie
per XIV. hr., and all in excess of that
at sc per XIV. hr.
The proposal was taken under adj
visement by the commission, and it is
expected that an order will be issued
IN the near future. The Washington
Water Power company asked that the
rate be made effective on the
month following the issuance of the
order.
