Indian Eco Dance.

Want a new dance? Why not try
the Indian egg dance? Place IS eggs
in rows on the floor and dance rapidly
zigzag among them without breaking
any OF them-that's all. An expert
says it takes four or five years Of prac-
tice to become an adept and that
learners will do well to use potatoes
during the first two or three years of
practice. 1t may be added that it is
advisable TO use strictly fresh eggs
at any stage Of the game. The rea-
son for this precaution can readily be
understood by securing a defunct egg
and breaking the shell suddenly with
an ak.

Mare and Foal.

by weight Quantity to feed depends
on size of mare), with what hay they
will eat, is an excellent ration. 1t is
advisable to feed but one-half the grain
ration when it becomes apparent that
a mare will foal within forty-eight
hours. Shortly after the mare has
foaled, a drink of lukewarm water
should be given her. The same ration
fed prior to foaling is usually satisfac-
tory after foaling. %
When it is possible, the mare should
foal in dry, well-lighted and bedded
box stall or in clean grass lot. If
she foals in box stall, it should be
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected
with five per cent solution of car
bolic acid before she enters it. A light
covering of air-slaked lime on the floor
underneath the bedding is very prac-
tical safeguard against navel" trou-
BILE.
After she has foaled 1t is advisable
to clean the stall Immediately, disin-
feet again and bed thoroughly. AS a
preventive of navel and joint disease
in the foal, saturate it's navel as soon
as possible with five per cent solu-
tion of lysol or other disinfectant. To
prevent blistering the colts belly
smear the parts at the base of the
navel board with vaseline or unsalted
lard before applying the disinfectant.

LESS WASTE WITH R0UGHAGE
When Given to Sheep on Ground II is
TrampIed Upon-Racks Have
Proved Entirely Satisfactory.
CRy e. L. sHAWN

10Y 4. II. DI1AWsJ
It is hardly necessary to say that
there is less waste when roughage is
fed to sheep in racks rather than
upon the ground. When fed in the lat
ter way much of it is trampled upon
and soiled and then the sheep refuse
to eat 1t.
There are several types of feed
racks that are quite satisfactory A
combination rack for feeding both
roughage and grain is convenient, es.
pecially where the amount of space is
limited. Some racks are boarded UP
solidly, with openings through which
the sheep eat; others are Slated hori
zontally, this type being largely used
in the west.
Racks with vertical Stats are also
used; these Stats should not be toe
wide apart with sucking ewes or the
lambs will get in upon the feed and
soil it. Having the upper part Of the
rack boarded solid Is desirable, as il
prevents chaff from falling into the
fleece

ments will result. North Carolina will
probably establish an independent
highway department in lieu of the
work now done by the state geological
survey relating to highways.
New Jersey in 1891 was the pioneer
state in providing state aid for public
highways. Massachusetts and Con-
necticut adopted the policy shortly aft
er, but only during the last ten years
has the state-aid policy been in ef-
feet on a considerable scale. About
5000 miles of state highways were
completed in 1913 and about 5000
miles in 1914, SO that the last two
years have been responsible for more
than one-third of the entire state
highway mileage. The state highways
in America now exceed by 5000 miles
the national road system of France.
To have state highway departments
placed under non-partisan, efficient
control; skilled supervision required
in all construction work; a proper
classification of highway to insure in
telligent distribution of improve.
ments; an adequate provision for
maintenance of highways from the
day of their completion-these are
among the objects for which the
American Highway association is wag
ing a vigorous campaign.

Charles Rinehart, who soma
months ago disposed Of his farm
holdings in this county and purchas-
ed the big Pierce-S Sawyer ranch in
Union county, suffered a heavy loss
by fire Tuesday, according to the fol-
lowing story in the La Grande OBJ.
server.
The big stock barn on the former
Pierce-Sawyer farm near Hot Lake.
now the property OF Chas. Rinehart
was destroyed by fire yesterday aft.
crnoon, There was also a hundred
tons OF hay and 800 sacks Of oats
which were a total loss. A further
inventory Of loss includes quantity
of household goods which We're stor-
ed in the barn. In fact there was a
complete loss Of everything in and
about the premises. The horses and
most Of the harness which were out
In the fields escaped.
The fire started about half past 5
O'Clock and Immediately gained such
headway that there was no chance to
compat the flames. There Is no def.
mite Information as to how the fire
started. Some of the employees Of
the place had been at the barn atl
frequent intervals during the day and
there may have been carelessness in |
the use Of matches, but this is only |
theory and there is no direct circum
stances to show the origin Of the fire. !
This was one Of the largest as weh |
as one OF the most complete stock |
barns TO be built in the valley. It
was 55xl00 feet in size, had a stone
basement and immense storage room
for stock and feed. II was supplied |
with water piped to the basement ana
equipped with electric lights all OF
which were enclosed in safety devices
The building was erected by C. b. |
Wade. former owner OF the ranch, |
at a cost of $500 1t was built es-
pecially for the keeping OF thorough
bred stock In which industry Mr.. |
Wade was extensively interested dur
ing the time he owned the ranch.
There was insurance of $4,000 on
the barn and contents and this am
cunt, according to the judgment OF
those who have experience in such
matters, will scarcely more than half
cover the actual loss.
