May End Menace
To Neutral Trade

Washington, Feb. 24.-England has
submitted to her allies, France and
Russia, proposals made by the United
States designed to end the menace to
neutral commerce which has arisen
from retaliatory measures Of Euro.
pean belligerents toward each other.
Briefly the American proposals
were submitted to both England and
Germany, and seek elimination by
Germany of the recently prescribed
war zone around the British isles and
adoption by all belligerents OF def
mite policy regarding the shipment of
foodstuffs destined to civilian pOpula-
tion of their enemies. 1t is not ex-
pected the reply to the informal com.
munica:ion from .he American gov.
ernment will be received here within
two days.
1t is understood that Germany Is
inclined toward acceptance Of sugges.
tions. Upon tie attitude OF England
depends the next move Of the situa-
ton. The strong opposition which
the Scandinavian countries, Italy,
Holland and other neutra.s have as
sumed toward retaliatory measures of
the belligerents, is playing consid-
cradle part in the situation. Practi-
cally all the neutrals of Europe are in
accord with the Washington govern
ment The greatest anxiety prevails
in high official quarters, regarding
the international and diplomatic situ'
alton and the proposals made by the
United States. 1t is admitted if the
present high tension over the attitude
of belligerents continues and any
American lives have been lost as a
resul: of thei: activities, the Washing
ton government may abandon the
present attitude of frjendliness to-
ward all warning powers.

HORSES IN UNITED STATES
According to Estimate of Department
of Agriculture There Were 21,-
10000 on January 1.

The United States department of ag-
riculture estimates the number of
horses in the United States on Janu-
ary list of each year, except 1910, when
the April census figures are used, as
follows: 1910, 19,833.000; 1911, 20
277,OOO; 1912, 20,5O9,000; 1918. 20,567..
900; 1914, 2O,962,O0O; 1915, 21,195,0O0.
In spite of automobiles and every
thing else it can be seen that the
horse is gradually gaining in numbers.
In spite of the heavy expectation Of
horses on account of the war, the to-
tai amount available is so great that
the exports are not materially reduc
ing the supply. 1t is doubtful also if
the war will affect American horse
raising very greatly. In the western
fighting everything appears to be
trench warfare, where cavalry is Of
little use and the slaughter of artil~
lery horses must be moderate, while
on the eastern front Russia has mil
lions Of horses and would not need to
call On America, even if shipments
would be possible. One of the ways
America is hardest hit is in the sup
ply of imported draft stations.

work of the breed for generations and

VENTILATION FOR THE BARN
All Stables Should Be Fairly Lofty,
Because Horses Need Abundance
Of Good Fresh Air.

The horse is very susceptible to
cold; and the horses that are stabbed
when not being worked or exercised
feel the changes of weather quite as
readily as do those enjoying more
free life.
All stables should be fairly lofty, be-
cause horses need plenty of fresh
air, and this can only be properly
given during intense cold when venti-
lation can be given above the heads
of the animals so far as elevation
is concerned, the position of the ven
tilators mattering little so long as they
are at a good height and placed with
judgment.
The stable should feel coy upon
going in, but not stufy, otherwise
the horses will feel chilly upon COM
ing out
