colt have been taught to eat grain be-
fore weaving is attempted. Oats have
always been preferred by horsemen
for young colts. They are undoubtedly
superior to any other single grain.
The colt likes q mixture or a variety
Of grains and will thrive best on such
a ration. He relishes corn, and 1t may
well be fed as part Of the grain ration.
1t may be said that corn contains a
rather high percentage of fat. True, 1t
does, and so does milk, which Is as
nearly ideal food as nature can make.
Corn should not be fed alone nor In
too great quantities. Bran is splen-
did feed and contains material for
bone and muscle. A mixture Of oats
60 per cent, corn 80 per cent and bran
enable any colt to grow rapidly. A
handful of oilmeal may be profitably
added. Then he will he more likely
to eat enough to almost make up for
the lack Of milk.
Hay should be provided In plenty.
Doubtless alfalfa or clover is the most
desirable for young growing colts.
Both grain and hay should be of the
very best quality. If it is at all pos.
sible to furnish succulent grass for the
colt 1t should be done This Is a big
factor In preventing any check In the
growth Of the youngster.
Naturally the colt will miss the com.
pany Of its dam. If it has been ac-
customed to stay In the stable or yard
while the mother Is out at work there
will be less fretting on that account.
IL the youngster has followed the dam
constantly and has never been kept
separated from her he should be bro
ken gradually to stay away from her
II 1t Is at all convenient to do so.
II there are several colts on the farm
1t Is best to wean all of them at the
same time. The youngsters love COM
pany, and II there are two or more of
them together they will fret and worry
less.

boards to make pens, which can be

very important.
After the gOslings are a month old
fresh grass will furnish most Of their

MONEY IN SHEEP.
Good Ration For Lambs Intended For
the Early Market.

SUO 6aTfy "arNet.
Lambs that are intended for fall
market should not be weaned until late
In summer. In fact, ewes will natural
ly wean their own lambs, writes q cor
respondent Of the Orange Judd Farm
er. But the time from birth until the
marketing Of the lamb presents many
problems. When a eve gives an abun-
dance of milk it is not wise to feed
until near weaving time. But 1t Is al.
ways good plan to give some dry
feed, SO the lamb Is accustomed to It
when 1t Is to be taken from Its mother.
The simplest way Is to arrange a creep
through which they can go into a small
lot or section Of the pasture. The creep
must exclude the older sheep, as they
do not need the grain.
Lambs will begin to eat when two
weeks old, or at least within a month.
A satisfactory mixture when the best
lambs are to be grown for the earliest
market is one of three-fourths corn.
meal and one-fourth bran by weight
At first they will eat only little, but
after time they will eat about half
a pound daily. At first give only Z
little feed. At no time leave feed In
tho trough to be picked over. The
clean trough will make the lambs rel-
ish every helping. Never at any time
let any Of the feed grow stale. II there
Is no corn on hand ground barley n
satisfactory. Ground oats are good. but
with them there is no need to feed the
bran. Keep the lambs in tho best
growthy condition at all times.
For late fattening in the fall ~
gard corn alone an ideal feed. In such
= case only the growth IL secured, and
the fat covering steadily placed over
the body during the latter part of the
feeding period.

SURPRISING Crime.

A bandit robbed the Cook agency in the loop
district of Chicago of $4,000, shot the treasurer
killed policeman, and so far has avoided cap
ture. /
The incident has stirred Chicago and has pro-
voked the Tribune into wondering what the real
duty of the police department is Editorially this
newspaper asserts that too much attention is
paid by the police department to regulate the
habits and morals Of Chicagoans and too little
time is devoted to suppressing crime. It asserts
that policemen are assigned to dance halls, pub
lie gatherings, theatres, etc., while criminals are
able to perpetrate hold-ups in the very heart of
the city.
The Tribune is correct in insisting that the
real function or the police department is to pre-
vent crime, to hunt down criminals and to protect
the lives and property of citizens. When crime
conditions reach the point they have attained in
Chicago it is well to call off some Of the traffic
officers and assign them to chasing thieves and
crooks. Let the public protect itself at the cross

Strayer Loyal to Parents

A'few days ago Frank strayers father COM
mitted suicide. The false impression has gotten
abroad that he refused to aid his father and that
because of this refusal the father ended his life
Frank Staryer is innocent of the charge. Not he
but his father is to blame.
Here are the facts in the case For years
Frank Strayer has been the support Of his father
and mother. He has mortgaged his own house.
hold furniture, sold lot, borrowed money at
high rates of interest to keep his father and
mother from becoming paupers. On the day that
his father ended his life, Frank Strayer tried to
borrow money several places to pay the house
rent that was past due. He was unable to get the
money. 1t was not because Frank Strayer re-
fused the money, but because he did not have
the money and could not get the money, that the
request of the father could not be met.
Few, if any, young men in the city of Rich
mond can point to filial devotion as sincere and
loyal as that Of Frank Strayer. Handicapped
because he had no education, Strayer set out to
educate himself and at the same time assist his
father who was one of those unfortunates that
cannot fight life's battle successfully. Not only
once, but dozens of times, young Strayer stepped
in and paid the house rent, paid doctors bills,
met the grocers BILL bought clothing for his
younger brothers and sisters. Frank Strayer
kept himself poor that his parents and his BROTH
ers and sisters might not starve. Inquiry shows
that Strayer's credit among the merchants is
good. .e..
Strayer could not read nor write until he was
III years old and since that time has educated
himself to the place where he is recognized now
by the members of the Wayne County Bar as a
very capable lawyer.
There are many tragic elements in the career
OF Strayer. He has fought a hard fight against
overwhelming Odds So far he has conquered
them. Now is the time when Strayer's friends
want to rally to his support
A boy that sticks to his parents through thick
and thin and at frightful sacrifices to himself
has heroic qualities in him. The community
ought to know the manhood that dwells in Stray
er's SOUL A young man of his calibre ought to
couraged. He deserves all the success that
be encouraged. He deserves all the success that
comes his way.

Tactics Of the Allies.

Grain and cotton dealers in New York are
calling attention to nefarious manipulation Of
foreign market news by European buyers 80 as
to cheat American dealers regarding the actual
amount OF grain and cotton on hand IN the coun-
tries Of the Entente
Last September foreign dealers reported
large quantities Of grain in France and Italy. the
result being that prices were kept down here for
three months, enabling the foreign agents to
make millions Of dollars which should have gone
to American farmers.
Now European buyers and their agents are
putting out gigantic bluff regarding the great
increases IN production Of cotton in Egypt and
India IN order to keep down the cotton price here.
A New York dispatch states that in the last
two years dishonest European SPECTATORS have
obtained heavy profits by creating conditions in
the news reports that enabled them to buy grain
and cotton at prices that insured them rich re-
wards The dispatch goes on to say:
Neither Egypt nor India are in position to
add materially to their cotton or grain produc-
ton, and this news Of large increases on these
countries is pure and unadulterated buncombe."
Tactics of this kind are bringing the allies in-
to still greater disrepute in this country. The
mendacity of British diplomacy is an open book.
That its grain and cotton brokers should indulge
in the same reprehensive practices is deplorable.

Putting Ii Across.

Putting it across" is q bit Of emphatic Amer
lean slang that is synonym for success. The
phrase suggests the meeting Of difficulties. their
conquest, and reward for the man who was un-
daunted and gorgeous enough to TRY.
Many failures are traced to lack Of persists
ence in the face Of discouragements and disap-
pointments. Deals often fall through. enterprls-
es are wrecked, business ventures fail because
the promoters lack the stamina and energy to
"put them across" despite the head shaking and
pessimistic prophecies Of their associates.
A man who puts across deal" sitter strug-
ole Of weary months is hero. He has in his soul
the same stuff that immortalized Washington
and Lincoln.
