From Weekly Letter, United States De-
 partment of Agricultural
 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 in 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

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

CBy PROF. F. A. TROWBRIDGE. Uni
 rersity of Missouri. College of Agrlcul-
 ture.)
 About half a million horses and mules have been sent to Europe be- cause of the war. Although the mum. Der sounds large, it really includes less than two per cent of the 2S,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 1000 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 proiitably.
 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 como 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.

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 we'll 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 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 a minimum cost. Rough feed, such as clean mixed hay. alfalfa. or clover, may be fed along with a mixture of bran, oats and corn.

BUILDING DOG-PR0OF FENCE
Most Economically Constructed by Setting Posts Ten Feet Apart
 Put Barbed Wire First.

A dog-proof fence can be economic ally built in the following manner: Posts are set ten to twelve feet apart and Q barbed wire is first stapled to them right on the surface of the ground. Three inches above this is placed a panel of close-woven wire, 36 inches high, and about this two strands of ordinary barbed wire. Care should be taken to see that there ara no openings between the ground and the lowest barbed wire. An inclosure made in this manner into which sheep may be turned at night. is inexpensive. and dogs will not go through it. Most of the damage by dogs is done at night.

TURNING SILAGE INTO BEEF
tute for Other Necessary Materi- als in Animals Ration.

The word "silage" at one time sug- gested only brimming milk pails and big milk checks. Nowadays it is as we'll big factor in putting the fin ishing touches on choice sirloin beef.
 Silos are common in the beef feed. ing sections of Wisconsin. The main reason for feeding silage to beef cat tie is economy of production. It can not be considered as a substitute for ~other necessary materials in the ra- tion, according to J. l.. Tormey, Col lege of Agriculture, University of Wis., consin, who gives a few suggestions as to the feeding of silage for beef production under local conditions.
 Glover or alfalfa hay should be fed along with the slage in the win ter. If clover or alfalfa hay is not obtainabie, use timothy or mixed hay. In addition 10 the corn silage and hay allowance, about three or four pounds of cottonse ed meal for each 1000 pounds of live weight of the animal should be fed daily.
 "Two-year-old steers weighing about 1000 pounds may be started on about 20 to 25 pounds Of silage, to pounds of clover or alfalfa hay, and 5 to 6 pounds of a mixture consisting of six parts of corn to one part cottonseed meal by weight daily. In a period of two weeks the cattle may be brought up to full rations, if care fully watched. At this time they will eat about 15 to 20 pounds of silage 5 to 6 pounds of hay and 12 to 14 pounds of grain mixture daily.
 AS cOttonseed meal Is rather high priced this year. wheat bran or glu- ten feel may be used instead with al- most as good results and at saving in cost of production

PRACTICAL LITTLE
 HINTS ON HOG CARE
Muddy Pens Are DisagreeabIe to Administrative RuntS Atten-
 tiOn-GWe Pigs Charcoal.
(By W. D. NEALL, Colorado.)

(By W. U. 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 dEagreeable 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- ton. 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.
 ulo shlul Lilih iS EUOu IOT tue growing pigs. Put 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 1T the hogs do get through the fence into the cornfleld or meadow.
 Keep charcoal, salt and ashes be- fore the pigs all the time. and 1t will mean death to worms or bowel trou- ble.
 Put teaspoonful of soda in the sow's slop, and it wlli 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 tho straw stack. Don't let them sleep there. The straw rick is a good place to contract the cholera.

H.
 approximately 400 per cent gain over the year 1914 was made during 1915 in the zine ore production in the North Arkansas field. according to the estimates made by W. K. Willet, one of the heaviest buyers. The estimate places the output during the year 1915 at 15,429,010. as against 3.537.423 for 1914. With the opening up of new mines at this time. and the erection of new mill buildings it is believed that the output during the year 1916 will be double that of the year 1915.
 Figures showing the production fn tons in the North Arkansas field since 1908 are: 1903, 2.770,000; 1904, 4.1SO,- GOO, 1905. 4,410,000; 1906. 4,50S,425; 1907, 2.349,900; 1908, 1862, $50; 1909. 1,615,440; 1910. 3.731, 800; 1911, 2,273,- 900; 1912, 2,609,O00; 1913, 3,607,OOO; 1914, 3,6070OO; 1915, 15,429,OiO. The production prior to 1903 is reported to have been 6.000,0O0 tons, according to the figure of Prof. Geo. I. Adams of the United States geological survey. There was more silicate and carbo- nate ores than any other zinc in the field during the last year This ore is found to be very profitable because II costs little to mine or to smelt
