A STANDARDIZED at Government Remount Depot

prepared by the u. S. Department of Ag-
riculture)
The selection of ration fol horses
and mules in the South depends large
ly upon the kinds of feed available,
the prices of the feed, and the
amount and character of the work.
For a 1000 or LOO pound horse at
moderate work daily ration of from
10 to IL pounds of grain and from
IL to IA pounds of hay should be am
pie. At light work the grain ration
should be increased. For horse at
moderate work weighing from 1000 to
1,100 pounds the following rations
will be found satisfactory. These ra-
tons are to be divided into three
feeds Nearly one-half of the rough
age should be fed at night and the
remainder divided between the morn
ing and noon feeds. The grain may
be divided into three equal portions,
to be fed morning, noon and night:
Ten pounds oats; fourteen pounds
mixed hay.
Ten pounds shelled corn OF corn
meal or twelve and one-half pounds

forenoon, before and after their din,
ner, and before and after their eve
ming meal.
If possible, after the horses have
finished their evening feed, they
should be turned out in a lot where
they can roll and get water at will
during the night. This applies espe-
cially during hot weather.
The selection of ration and gen.
eral care of horses depends largely on
Ucal conditions, and the United States
department of agriculture advises the
farmer to get in touch with the county
demonstration agent whenever he is
in doubt regarding the best methods
of handling stock. In case there is
NO county agent, the farmer should
write the state agricultural station for
information.

The boy, once back In his hall bed
room, threw himself down on the mar
row bed and remained there motion
less, his eyes closed. Sometimes, when
he came home from the warehouse he
was physically inert like this. He was
only twenty-one, and the contrast be-
tween the hopes with which he had
gone to the great city and actuality
was harder than the physical fatigue.
He worked at eight dollars a week,
packing books for Vincent & Co.. pub
fishers. With high school education
and literary aspirations, he ought to
be able to do something better than
that.
"We'll give you chance in the
basement" Vincent had told him. IF
you make good there an opportunity
may arise upstairs"
"I'll take it, the boy had answered.
At half-past seven the following
morning the boy went to work He
had worked there for four months.
He did not know that Vincent was
trying him out, that there really would
be a chance for him, first at clerical
work and then If he proved eff
cient in a minor role among the
literary staff of the publishing COM
pany. Vincent had had his eye on him
all the while, as was his way. He
had asked the foreman of the depart
ment two or three times if the boy
was still there. Next month, perhaps,
he would give himself the sincere
pleasure of inviting the boy to accept
fifteen dollars and assist Mr.. Jones,
the advertising manager, in a clerical
capacity.
OF all that the boy knew nothing.
He only saw himself hammering nails
into packing cases, among a crowd of
ignorant, and not too high-minded as
sociates.
And often he had thought of giving
up and going back to the farm, to face
the sneers of the neighbors, the silent

VINE PRUNING IN THE SOUTH
Proper Time to Work on Grapes Is In
Spring, Just Before Growth Starts
Leaves Stop Bleeding.
(By c. M. scHULTz.)


In the South the only time to prune
the ordinary grapes is just before
growth starts in the spring. Then
the leaves will soon stop the bleeding.
One spring in North Carolina the
weather turned hot the first of March
and the vines that had been pruned
in the fall made shoots six inches long
while those that had not been pruned
hardly swelled the buds.
The last week In the month the
mercury suddenly fell with norther
to 20 degrees above zero and the
shoots on the pruned vines were fro
zen. After the freeze pruned my
grapes and had normal growth. while
those around me hardly got half q
crop. had learned this from seasons
years before, when had seen the
same thing. But the Scuppernong
must be pruned in November or De-
cember as 1t bleeds worse than the
cluster grapes.

all, his mothers pity.
Then temptation had come to him.
There was man named Dutton among
the employees. Dutton had shown
him friendliness. had won his conf
dence.
You're fool, boy, to look forward
to life of this sort of work" he said.
There's easy money to be picked up
in this city. Now listen to me-"
In the lunch hour he had outlined
a plan by which money was to be
picked up as he phrased it. 1t in
volved plain robbery. But, though the
boy shrank away, Mortified at the sug-
gestion, the plausibility of the man
worked on his mind and the temptation
proved a real one in spite Of his
scruples.
Dutton had learned secret about
the safe. Every house has its Sc
crets, its weak points in its defensive
system. On Saturday nights there
was often q sum OF two or three thou
sand dollars in the safe. The night
Waterman was an old man. The safe
was not q new one. The boys part
would be simply to engage the old fel-
low in conversation until the confed-
crates got their opportunity to hit
him on the head and take the keys.

be his.
And, so strangely is the human
mind fashioned, that the boy had felt
that, to tell Vincent, would be be-
trayal Of confidence. The atmosphere
Of the packing room was not good
one. The boy had gone home and
flung himself down on his bed, and
his mind was in turmoil.
In the next room the girl had come
home and flung herself into the an
Client armchair with which the land
lady had supplied her when 1t became
too shabby for use in the parlor. She
felt utterly unwrought after her day at
the department store.

This mash contains from Is to 20
