SCORE UP ONE FOR JONES

Down in the crimson clover zone
there were two farmers named Jones
and Smith, respectively. Jones was
old-fashioned and stuck to old-fash-
Toned ways, but Smith, who was more
modern, bought a fine new automo-
bile. One day he was proudly exhib-
ing it to some friends when Jones
came along.
'Um," remarked Jones, as he
thoughtfully sized up the handsome
machine. Whats that thing there
on the side?"
That's spare rim and tire" an
swered the proud Smith. I'VE al

dainful response of Jones. 1--WE druv

quantity that you would all take steps
to be more careful in the future.
One of the most common ways of
wasting feed is to feed it upon the
ground when the surface is wet or
soft. Feed scattered about in this
fashion will soon be tramped upon and
buried under the mud Pigs, especially,
are wasteful of feed given to them in
this way, but many feeders have real
lied the loss and have prevented it by
building concrete feeding floors
which will not only pay their cost in
the feed they save in few years, but
enable the quarters to be kept in a
more sanitary condition.
Feed may be wasted when it is fed
in the managers in excess of the ami
mails needs. This is loss that is
easily preventable, for the feeder If
he is observing will know just how
much the animal will eat up clean.
For feeding alfalfa, clover, soy bean
hay or other coarse feed, a rack of
the kind shown in the illustration is
handy and prevents waste. More sim
pie racks are often constructed on the
inside of hog house by placing them
against one of the sides of the build
ing or adjoined to the pen partition.

DAMAGED WHEAT FOR SWINE
Greater Gains Obtained in Tests in
Feeding 1t Alone Than With Corn
in Fattening Hogs.

The grade and market price of part
of the 1915 wheat crop has been so
much reduced by sprouting in the shock
that it is not too high for hog feed.
Recent feeding tests by L. A. Weaver
at the Missouri experiment station
have shown that wheat fed alone gives
greater gains in fattenings hogs than
either corn alone or corn mixed with
wheat. The addition of tankage to the
ration resulted in still more econom-
ical gains, especially during the early
part of the feeding period.
If ground, the wheat is better digest
ed and three pecks produce as much
grain as bushel of unground wheat,
both being soaked.

Gently asked what he should give his
horse when aconite and nitre had
failed to cure. 1t is always best for
one to know the action of drug be-
fore it is administered to live stock. A
thorough study of the symptoms of
the animal should be- made before any
drugs are given Just because certain
drugs have succeeded in some neigh
boris horses, there is no reason they

opium would be correct to give if it
is spasmodic collie, while if the patient
has impaction of the bowels a dose
Of opium would only pack the bowels
the harder. A dose of aconite should
never be given when the heart is weak
and slow, for the reason that aconite
depresses the heart and will cause
death. On the other hand, aconite
would be the proper drug to give when
the heart was beating full and strong
and very rapid. A common mistake
is to give horses sweet spirits of nitre
when suffering from frequent urina-
ton, as this drug is diuretic or in
creases the flow of urine. It only ag-
gravates the trouble in this particular
case.

DEMAND GREATER SEA
power FOR GERMANY
Industrial and Agricultural Bodies
Also Ask Won Bethmann-Hollweg
for More F Frontier Security.

Paris, Aug. 1L-According to the
Temps. six important industrial and agri-
cultural associations in Germany have
sent a long confidential memorandum to
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg on
conditions of peace which they regard as
indispensable to assure the continued eco
nomic development OF the country.
They demand greater security of the
eastern and western frontiers and en-
largement of the foundation of German
maritime power. which will permit of a
more vigorous development of economic
forces The concrete means whereby
these results are to be obtained are as
follows:
The elimination of Belgium as an inde-
pendent state. That country, from a po-
litical. military. commercial. monetary,
banking and postal standpoint to be sub
ject to German imperial legislation. and.
the memorandum says. must be so ad-
ministered that its inhabitants shall have
no influence whatever on the political
destinies of the empire
The memorialists demand. as vitality
necessary to Germany, possession Of tho
French coast from the German frontier
to the River Somme, together with an
interior region sufficient to give strategic
and economic support to the channel
ports thus acquired.
~ protcCl thc new iEoHticr iIoiii iiNd-
sion Verdun and Belfort and the western
slopes of the Vosges between these two
cities should be annexed. including the
Briey mining basin in addition to the
northern coal deposits.
Furthermore. France is to be required
to indemnity French proprietors for land.
buildings, etc, taken by German au-
thority.
The memorialists demand such exten-
sion of the frontier in the east as will
give great facilities for colonization to

Following a report this afternoon of a

night described a heavy attack along the
French front between the Binarville road.
Vienne lie Chateau, and the ravine Of
Houyette by large forces of German in
fantry which, at the center, succeeded
in penetrating the defending lines. The
attack was made at daybreak and the
fighting continued all day, the French re-
porting that, with the exception of a
section of their first line of trenches. the
Germans have been dislodged and a num-
ber of prisoners taken.
Germans Are Repulsed.
Another German attack further to the
east in the direction of Fontaine AUX
Charmes was completely repulsed. Berlin
makes no mention of any of this fighting

suit was that the area held in the An

chiefly to the gallantry and dash of the
Australian and New Zealand army corps.
TO the north no further progress has
been made, but in several actions which
have occurred our troops have inflicted
