HORSES AND MULES
 SHIPPED TO EUROPE
Animals Bought for Export for Use in the Great War Are
 Among Lighter Grades.

CBy PROF E. A. TROwBRIDGE. Uni
 versity of Missouri, College of Agricul-
 ture)
 About half a million horses and mules have been sent to Europe be- cause of the war. Although the num- Der sounds large, it really includes less than two per cent of the 28,000,- 900 horses and mules on hand in the United States January l, 1915. and a still lower percentage when we re- member the 1915 colts must be added to this number.
 The 100000 horses bought for ex- port for use in the war are among the lighter animals ranging from 900 to 1,500 pounds in weight Although many of them are of mixed breeding. they are good useful horses, but do not sell for particularly high prices, and there is an opportunity for the raiser to produce others of much bet ter type to replace those that have been sold. The increased cost of land, labor and other things used in horse raising has gradually widened the gap between the price Of good horses and mules. and those of inferior animals until now only the superior animals can be produced profitably
 About eighty per cent of the horses and mules in the country are now owned and used on farms The auto- mobile, auto truck and farm tractor all help to replace some Of these ami mals, but any great changes in this direction will come about gradually and production will be governed large ly by demand. In view of these con- stantly changing conditions. however. the business of horse production of fers unusual opportunities to the man who succeeds in meeting market de, mands successfully Horses of the draft or high class saddle type or mules of good size and quality and capable of doing lots of hard work are likely to prove most profitable.

From Weekly Letter. United States De-
 partment of Agriculture)
 At this time of the year all the heavy work on most farms has been finished. and horses are more or less idle. Since idle horses give no re- turn in labor performed. the feeding should be as economical as possible, and proper care should be taken of the animals in order that they may be in the best possible condition for work ill the early spring.
 Horses should not be confined to the barn during the winter on a lib eral supply of grain. It is far better to rough" them through the cold months. They should be given the run of the yard or lot during the day. They should be provided with a pro- tected shed, one that is thoroughly dry and well provided with bedding. While nature does her part and pro- tects the horse with a heavy coat of hair during the cold months, the shed is necessary in order to afford the necessary shelter and protection against rain, snow and cold winds. Winter winds come mostly from the north and northwest. and the shed

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
 DARkENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
 Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded. streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make 1t at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sul- phur Hair Remedy" You will get a large bottle for about 50 cents Every body uses this old, famous recipe, be- cause no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does 1t so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.

PRACTICAL LITTLE
 HINTS ON HOG CARE
Muddy Pens Are DisagreeabIe to Administrative Runts Atten-
 tion-Give Pigs Charcoal.
CBy W. D. NEALL. Colorado.)

(By W. D. NEALL. Colorado)
 Birds. dogs or men may carry hog cholera from one farm to another.
 Burning the hog that has died of some disease is the only sure method of preventing contagion.
 The hog that has been allowed to sleep in the old straw stack will soon cough his health away.
 Hogs of all ages and sizes do not thrive when allowed to pile up to- gether.
 Muddy pens are dSagreeable to the hogs. Watch the hog pick the ear of corn out of the mud and seek a dry place to eat it and you will be fully convinced of this fact
 It pays to separate the runts from the herd and give them special atten- tion. By this method you make them profitable hogs.
 Slops should not be carried from the kitchen to the hogpen if the good housewife uses all kinds of wash pow ders in the dish water, for many of them are poisonous.
 Pure skim milk is good for the growing pigs Put a little bran with it and it will be the richer. Do not give much sour milk to very young pigs for fear of the SCOUTS.
 The dog that "wools' the ears of the hogs or tears their hams should be kept away from the herd even il the hogs do get through the fence into the cornfield or meadow.
 Keep charcoal, salt and ashes be- fore the pigs all the time, and it will mean death to worms or bowel trou- ble.
 Put a teaspoonful of soda in the sow's slop, and it will be beneficial to the pigs afflicted with the SCOUTS.
 Pigs look good in a field of alfalfa, clover or rape, and best of all they do well while running there.
 The pig that is weaned will squeal around a good deal The only way to shut off his squeal is to fill his stomach with food
 Kick the pigs away from the straw stack Don't let them sleep there. The straw rick is a good place to contract the cholera.

should be so situated and constructed as to give the proper protection from this quarter.
 In the feeding of idle horses the highest-priced feeds should be avoid ed in order to keep them in proper condition at the lowest cost. It has been found that idle horses do very well on a winter feed consisting of all the hay, oat straw, cornstalks, or sorghum they will consume, so that little grain is necessary.
 From six to eight weeks before the spring work is started the horses should be put at light work and start ed on a small grain ration in order that they may be in proper condition for the work required of them. The grain ration may then be gradually increased until the regular allowance has been reached for the working sea son.
 Growing colts require considerable protein. They should be so fed as to secure proper development and at minimum cost. Rough feed, such as clean mixed hay. alfalfa, or clover. may be fed along with a mixture of bran, oats and corn.

Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel richt with the system full
 of poisons.

Millions of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. Whats an inside bath?' you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per. form miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts.
 There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it. This is q very excellent health measure. It is in tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid. neys and the thirty feet of intestines of the previous days waste, sour bile and indigestible material left over in the body which, if not eliminated every day, become food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into tho blood causing headache, bilious at tacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds. stomach trouble. kidney misery, sleep. lessness, impure blood and all sorts of ailments.
 People who feel good one day and badly the next. but who simply can not get feeling right are urged to ob- tain quarter pound of limestone phosphate from any druggist or store- keeper. This will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone real crank on the subject of internal sani- tation.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. It is vast ly more important to bathe on the in. side than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities in- to the blood, while the bowel pores do. Adv.

Miss Beulah Livingstone enjoys the
unique distinction Of being the first
woman theatrical business manager In
the country.
Still a girl of twenty-five, Miss Liv-
ingstone has forged ahead remarka-
bly, from a kindergarten teacher tim
idly venturing into the magazines by
composing children's tales to a position
of tremendous responsibility, requir-
ing the handling of large sums Of
ey and constant judgment in the writ
ing of all advertisements, booklets,
window cards, designing the three
sheets, attending to correspondence,
paying salaries and generally running
the business end of a play In n of
New York city's new theaters.
This southern girl, with her golden
hair and laughing eyes, is the very last
person you would expect to find in an
Office with her W name on the door.
She was born and educated in Georgia.
A few years ago she went north and
entered a normal school, later becoming
a kindergarten teacher on the east side.
In this corner of "the great melting
pot" nearly every nationality was rep
resented. These children could not I'M
derstand, as a class, tales that the
average American child can grasp. So
she wrote her own stories and finger
plays. One morning the supervisor de-
manded where she had got them,
as she had not seen them in the other
schools. The young pedagogue blush
ingly replied that she had written
them herself. Later she sold these,
her first masterpieces" to the New
York Tribune.
At the end of her first scribbling year
Miss Livingstone had saved enough
money for a trip abroad.
Armed with letters of introduction
to Rodin, Zuluoga, D'Annunzio, Beer
bohm Tree and Sir Oliver Wyndham,
she Travelled through Europe and AT
RIGA, selling her stories Of a trip
through the desert on camels. Return
ing home, she resigned her position as
schoolteacher and. thrilled by her sue
cess at breaking into print, began free
lance work, writing everything from
show to ice cake to stage stories.
While in France she met Lou Tel
Logan, Sarah ~Bernhardt's leading man,
who asked her to become his press
agent. Few women have made good
in this line of work. Most press agents
are men. But Miss Livingstone was
recognized MS one of the most
successful members Of her profession,
next representing such stars as Anna
Pavlowa and Mr.. and Mrs. Castle, and
last winter she did the press work for
the company that produced "Alice In
Wonderland"
The theater business promises to be
a fascinating field for ome of spe-
cial gifts, both as producers and as
managers.
