WAR HORSES NOT FOR FARMS
Good Draft Animals Are Best for As-
rleulturaI Work, Says an Ex-
pert Of Kansas College.

The buying of a large number Of
Kansas horses by the warning ma.
tions of Europe will not cause a
shortage of farm power, believes DR..
c. w. McCampbell, assistant profess
sor of animal husbandry in the col
lege. The war horse and the efficient
farm horse. declares Doctor McCamp,
bell, are two distinct types.
The war horse, weighing from L.
900 to 1900 pounds, has been re-
sponsible for much of the inefficiency
of farm power. The fewer war horses
left upon the farms, the better of the
farmer will be. 1t is the type of horse
adapted to war that has always caused
the low prices in the horse market,
because the demand for this type of
horse in the commercial world is prac.
tically gone. The sound, heavy, &C.
tive, draft horse has always brought
the higher price.
II the people who think that there
will be a shortage of horses to oper.
ate the farms the coming year will
notice the type of horse that is being
exported, says Doctor McCampbell
they will find that it is not the farm
horses that the European countries
are buying but the medium-sized war
horses. An increased demand for the
heavy draft horse will result when
the small horses have disappeared.
Now is good time, believes Doc.
tor McCampbell. to get rid of the
small horses and raise draft horses,
aa there will a1ways he a stronp mar.

market for the small horse is becom.

OLDEST PIECE OF WRITING |
Sumerian Tablet In University Of
Pennsylvania Records Deeds Of
BabyIonians.

A number of ancient Sumerian tab
lets, recording the deeds of the Baby
lonians thousands of years ago, have
been deciphered by George A. Barton
at the University of Pennsylvania mu-
scum. One of these tablets, which
tells how farmer rid his field of To-
Gusts and caterpillars, is dated 1000
B. C. and is the Oldest piece of writ
ing extant, according to an announce
ment made by officials of the museum.
The farmer, Doctor Barton's transla-
tion says, called in a necromancer,
who broke jar, cut open sacrifice.
a word of cursing he repeated, and the
locusts and caterpillars fled" For this
service he received tall palm tree.
That a canal was constructed in
Babylonia nearly 5000 years ago is
shown by another tablet dated 1.-THE
year the Divine Naram-Sin opened the
mouth of the canal Erin at Nippur.
Naram-Sin was a king in Babylonia
and is supposed to have financed the
construction of the waterway which
gave Nippur transportation facilities
with the rest of the world. A third
tablet, dated 1900 B. c., records the
transfer of land and quantity Of
grain for bronze money. Gold and sill
yer were known at that time, but were
not used as currency.

BRooDY HEN BOON TO OWNER
pected Unless Hen Is Given Good,
Comfortable Nest

The hen that becomes broody early
in the season is boon to her owner,
but no matter how good a mother she
may be, nor how fertile the eggs given
her, she cannot bring off good hatch
unless she is given a comfortable nest
"a nest which will not chill the eggs
from underneath.
Select a roomy box, from fifteen to
eighteen inches square. according to
the size of the hen, but no smaller
than fifteen inches.
Fill the bottom with two or three
inches of sifted coal ashes; cover
with heavy paper mat. of paper that
has been well sprinkled with kero-
sene, as a preventive of mites: then
make a good nest of cut straw over
this.
A nest of this kind will retain the
heat of the hen. and the eggs will
keep at incubating temperature, but
a nest of boards with straw only
above them will chill the under Fart
of the eggs, sometimes delaying the
hatch a day or two. and weakening
the chicks that did hatch.

The Battles of Peace.

There are difficulties and dangers
before our nation today just as great
as any our forefathers faced. To
meet and conquer them requires all
the moral Drawn and muscle this ma
tion can muster. There are the prob
lens of corruption in business and
politics; the terrible scourges of in
temperance and the drug habit, and
the social evil. deadly to soul and body
alike; there are the problems OF
moral education, of marriage and di'
vorce, OF the treatment of depend
ents-prisoners. detectives, paupers
etc. Amy one of these left uncon
quered would devastate our country
as no war could.-Rev. N. T. Houser

ALFALFA GOOD HORSE FEED
Must Be Fed With Judgment and Care
Best to Feed Animals First
and Second Cuttings.

Alfalfa is an excellent horse feed,
but is must be fed with judgment and
care.
Because of it's palatabiiity mature
horses are likely to eat too much al
falfa if permitted to have free access
to It,
The average farm horse at hard
work is allowed to eat much more al
falfa and other roughage than he real
ly needs to maintain his weight.
One pound of alfalfa or other hay
and about one and one-fourth pound
of grain day for every 100 pounds of
the horses weight make good ra-
tion for the working horse.
Horses like alfalfa stems. Refuse
from the cattle racks is very accepta-
BILE to horses.
1t is best to feed mature horses first
and second cutting alfalfa which is
free from mold and dust.
Never feed wet alfalfa hay to
horses.
A sudden change of feed deranges
the horses digestive system.
Horses accustomed to alfalfa as a
regular part of their ration are sell
dom troubled from its use-Extension

Cement Water Filter.

is filed to a depth of three feet, with
charcoal, for stagnant water, but
should consist of limestone and brick
bats for rain water. The bottom of
the receiving basin will retain much
sediment which must be removed be-
fore reaching the openings into the
sand basin. This sediment is always
of a heavy, Shiny nature, which makes
a good fertilizer for flower and vege-
table gardens. The sand and gravel
also becomes coated with a light
weight muck which retards the capac-
ity of the filter; however. the water
is purer after the sand has become
partially coated. The sand must be
renewed or removed and washed from
one to six times year, depending
upon the amount of impurities con-
tained in the water. The charcoal,
being an air mixer, rarely ever re-
quires attention and about two clean
ings a year will answer for the other
basins. In western states where
alkali abounds, lump of alum
dropped into the receiving basin once
a month does much to clarity the
water.

FEED TO INDUCE EGG LAYING
Morning Meal Made Of Bran and
Shorts, Mixed and softened With
Hot Water 10 Excellent.

Bran and shorts mixed and softened
with hot water make a good morning
meal. Boiled potatoes and oat meal
mush also are excellent. Ground
bone ought to be made a regular ar
ticle of diet.
The fowl should have a chance for
exercise and this is gained by hav.
ing a layer of straw on the floor to
hide the grain and also by suspend
ing green cabbages or pieces Of meat
far enough from the floor SO that they
are compelled to jump to reach the
food. A meal of wheat or corn is
to be given late in the afternoon.
All kinds of roots chopped fine and
fed raw are relished. Either parched
corn or charcoal is one of the essen
tials. Poultry so handled will be
healthy and active instead of sickly
and lazy and will produce satisfac'
tory supply of eggs.

State Road Commission Distributes
$105,6oo to Counties for Work.
Denver.-The completion of three
main highway projects of the state
will be possible this year by allot-
ments of highway funds, totaling
$105,600, which the State Highway
Commission made to the different
counties of the state. These projects
are the Arkansas River road between
Cotopaxi and Parkdale, which will
connect two large portions of the
state and furnish a road open almost
the entire year, the Ellwood Pass road
which will give an entrance to the
Mesa Verde National park and will
form the first highway connection be-
tween the southwestern part of the
state and the remainder of Colorado,
and the North-and-South highway
from Denver to Wyoming.

INSURES PURE WATER
Construction of Filter Will Solve
Farm Problem.
Most Practical Size Is Four Feet
4 Deep, Eight Feet Long and as
Wide as Capacity May Re-
quire-Best on Ground.

The capacity of the filter illustrated
is large and may be constructed of
Slfficient width to receive the flow of
an entire brook where 1t enters the
farm, thus insuring pure water for
all purposes. as stock, steam boilers
and household use, writes H. Clock in
Modern Farmer.
The filter may be made quite small,
but the most practical size is four feet
deep, eight feet long and as wide as
capacity may require, calculating
about five gallons per minute per
every foot width. The capacity, how
ever, depends much upon the condi-
ton of the water to be filtered. The
bottom, sidewalks and partitions
should be six inches thick. made of
one part cement, three parts sand and
four parts aggregates, which must be
poured or tamped into wood forms.
They are best built in the ground, SO
that about six inches of the top pro-
jects above the ground level.
The holes from the receiving to the
sand basin, and from charcoal to out
let basin. are made by placing wood
pegs, one inch in diameter, in the con-
crete while filling the forms. and re-
moving the pegs when the forms are
removed, both being done when the
concrete has become hard. Where
water is scarce the painting of the IN
sides Of the basins with asphaltum
(black) paint will retain all the water.
For household use, a cover of wood
or concrete slabs should be provided.
About six inches of gravel and one
foot OF clean sand should be placed
in the sand basin. The charcoal basin
