PERCHERON HORSES

Importance Of Good Feeding Is
Emphasized by President Of

In his annual address e. B. White,

fact that you cannot grow flrst-class

the age, color, and description agree
with the stallion whose service is be-
ing considered. If the certificate does
not agree with the stallion it is evil
dent that something is, wrong, and it
will be much wiser to refuse the serv-
ice Of the stallion than to accept it,
pay the fee, and run the risk of get
ting nondescript foal, expensive to
raise, and for which there will be a
poor market.
If a breeder is not familiar with
pedigree and registration societies, he
should consult his state agricultural
college or experiment station, giving
all facts regarding the stallion being
considered for service. In this way
much information may be secured that
will be of value to him in the future
when the question of breeding comes
up.

COMMON CONDITION

BODYBUILDING Feed viii Aid
Greatly in Keeping Animals
Free From Paralysis.

(By I. E. NEWSOM, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins. Colo.)
Paralysis of the posterior part Of
the body appears to be rather COM
mon condition in growing hogs, and
sometimes even in mature animals.
While in some instances 1t may be
due to mechanical causes, such as in
jury to the back, yet these cannot ex-
plain the greater number Of cases.
Some have suggested that intestinal
parasites bear causal relation, but
this is open to considerable question
as it is difficult to see just how worms
in the intestine could produce pa
ralysis.
The theory that seems most plaus-
IDLE is that the bones, particularly Of
the spinal column, become softened,
thus producing pressure on the spinal
cord. The softening of the bones is
probably due in many instances to
lack of lime salts in the food and is
not frequently noted when the vic
tins have been heavily fed on corn.
Consequently a rational treatment
consists in the addition Of lmewater
to the feed and an entire change OF
diet, especially with view to build.
ing better bone. That this treatment
will have any beneficial effect on the
affected animals Is open to question,
but such measures when instituted
should prevent other anirals com.
ing down with the disease.

Hill lad to rocking with several wal

tired at the end of the round.
The eighth round opened with both
disinclned to mix. Vashbinder was
plainly little tired. Burney started
things with a rush and knocked the
Gold Hill boy into the ropes with a
speedy right to the jaw. Vashbinder
seemed dazed and took the count of
nine on his knee. Burnett came at
him and seemed able to land at will.
Burney's right to the jaw finally
seemed to have got Vashbinder and
two wallops in rapid succession put
him flat on his back. The seconds
threw in the towel.
Vashbinder was up in a few sec
onds and anxious to go on. Both
men were far from worn out at the
finish and neither was marked in any
way. The punch which won was a
good clean knockout blow to the jaw.

The "Why" OF
Gasoline Prices

Supply OF crude oil increasing 6
of | per cent; consumption OF gaso-
line increasing 27 per cent. Put
very briefly, this is the why and
wherefore of the advance in gasoline
prices. 1t is the working of the in
evitable law of supply and demand.
In California oil fields last year there
was an actual falling off in crude oil
production of over 100000 bar
rels. The United States Geological
Survey shows that the total 1915 pro-
duction of crude oil increased only
G of ! per cent over that of the pre-
vious year. And yet 100000 auto
mobiles were put into use in the
United States in 1915 and increased
the gasoline consumption, for auto
mobiles alone, fully 27 per cent over
the consumption in 1914. Meanwhile
thousands OF gasoline engines and
tractors are being put into service on
our farms and ranches and depicting
the available gasoline supply.
Thus far this year production has
run considerably less than normal.
Just as was the case last year, the
United States government suits
against operators on unpatented
lands is greatly limiting production,
and the severe January storms which
wrecked hundreds of rigs in the Cali
fornia fields has further retarded pro-
duction. The California state miner
alogist estimated daily average loss
in production of 10000 barrels as a
result OF this storm damage.
Improved carburetors and improv-
ed methods Of refining petroleum will
undoubtedly relieve the gasoline situ-
alton from time to time, but in the
final analysis the price of gasoline
will be determined by the way the
country's crude oil supply keeps up
with the ever-growing demand for
gasoline. Just at present nature and
the government are combining to
limit the supply. Time may change
all this, and in the meantime We Of |
the Pacific coast can congratulate
that we live handy to the
California fields where oil is still |
flowing fast and where we get prices
that are still several cents a gallon !
below the eastern average.
