PLEA FOR REDLlGHT DISTRICT
UPSETS REFoRMERS
RefOrmers and church folk today
discussed with varied opinion sug-
gestion of Rev. Johnston Myers yes
terday that Chicago have a new seq
regated vice district. Myers sugges-
ton came while he was a witness at
the trial of Police Capt w. P.
O'Brien.
Myers pointed to the manner in
which houses of prostitution have
been opened up in respectable and
silk-stocking districts since the close
of the old levee. He said conditions
were worse now than they would be
if vice was shut of in one district
under police supervision.
The opinion of DR.. Myers, who, as
pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist
church, has made a study of the So
cial evil in Chicago, has aroused
much comment in Chicago. Most of
the Law and Order league stalwarts,
including Arthur Burrage Farwell,
are opposed to the idea.
myers, III explaining his SuSSeS-
ton, said:
The consensus of opinion is that
we ought to have a modified segre-
gated district. 1 don't mean that we
should have one like that which ex-
listed before; but the sore has been
driven from one place to another, and
1 think more horror has been done
by it.
'These people have spread out
among the residence districts and
upon the streets, and when land
lord orders them from his building
they ask: Where am to go?'
"And where are they to go? They
move into respectable neighborhoods
and their presence does a lot Of harm.
Some people say my opinion on the
subject is wrong, but 1 will maintain

FEDERAL PROBE OF FOOD HOGS
IS UNDER WAY

The federal investigation OF the
operations of the food hogs is under
way. Five cold storage men were
quizzed yesterday by U. S. Dist
Att'ys Igoe and Epstein. More will

heard that the egg boycott of the
women of Chicago has hurt specu-
lators.
Jim Wetz, who loudly proclaimed
himself the egg king few weeks
ago, is being sought by the govt.
There are many things Uncle Sam
would like to question him about.
One concerns a rumor that big
Chicago packer is the real money
man behind the egg corner and that
it is this packer who is holding on
to the eggs in order to sting the peO-
pie. T
J. J. Tobias, chancellor of the Chi
cag0 Law school, said that a $780,
100000 corporation is being organ
lied to control the egg situation in
Canada and that a 100000 900 egg
syndicate is being formed in the mid

Furthermore. she is subject to fatigue and mechanical injuries, such as jerk ing. slipping. extreme speed and rough treatment. The best way is to grad ualy decrease the work so that dur
 ing the last few weeks of pregnancy the mare will be doing the lightest work. The majority of the foals are foaled in the spring, which is the natural time However. if mares are expected to do the seasons heavy work in addition to raising colt, the fall will be better time.
 A few days before foaling the grain ration should be decreased and bran or linseed meal should be fed to act as a laxative and keep the bowels loose at this time. After foaling, the first feed may be bran, and this may be followed with oats or equal parts by bulk of corn and bran, feeding a light feed for the first ten days.
 There are two active causes of death in young foals, One is due to impaction in the bowels because of ldlluIe lO ltCtlNt SuulCltHl ColOSlIuLl or first milk, and if this be the case, the colt should be given a tablespoon full of castor oil and warm water injection The other cause is due to navel infection before the navel heals over Give plenty of clean, dry bed ding and dip the stump of the navel cord in saturated solution of boric acid, which will prevent infection
 The feeding of the colt should be- gin as early as possible, as the foal makes more than half of it's entire growth during the first year For bone and muscle forming feeds, blue grass pasture and oats has no supe- rioT. Corn barley. kaiir, etc, may be fed if properly balanced with lecume hays, which have lime for bone growth
 While the mare is at work the foal should be locked up in a good box stall or yard, where it cannot hurt it. self. While the -oal is real young, the mare should be brought in in the middle of the forenoon and afternoon to allow the foal to suck If the mare is warm and trettine, milk out a part of the milk, as it will injure the foal, especially if the mare is not brought in until noon.

GROWING ANIMALS ON THE
 FARM


 By H. A. Sandhouse, Assistant Profes-
 sor of Animal Husbandry, Uni
 versity of Arkansas.
 The breeding of horses and mules is generally considered as a side issue in general farm practice, more so than in breeding any other class of stock. The majority of farmers raise only few colts each year, the number de animals used and the nature of the work required of the mares ai foaling time. Even though we are living in what might be termed the motor age. there is still great demand for good farm and heavy draft horses, which should be an incentive for the farmer to breed more and better horses The mule is especially adapted to South ern conditions, having a greater re- sistance to heat, and they are harder more doCile and sure-footed than the horse
 In selecting breeding animals the average breeder generally selects h.s brood mares from his best farm work mares. The brood mare should have a refined and matronly appearance and still have sufficient capacity for the fOetus as shown by large, deep ribbed body. Since most of the mares are grades, the relative influence of sire and dam is apparently in favor or the sire.
 The grade sire may possibly have a good appearance, but coming from mixed breeding of unknown ancestry it is hard to determine what his colts will resemble. The pure bred will improve his offspring as the tendency is to produce animals like the sire
 The characteristics of the mule mare should be emphasized, since the mule inherits much of it's form from the mare. She should have size, weight and good conformation. Be- cause of the generally recognized comparatively coarse qualities of the jack, mule mares should have refine ment and quality. Heavy draft mares are not as desirable as those which have some hot blood from the lighter breeds, such as standard bred or thor oughbred. Too much refinement will produce undersized mules, which are not as salable for remunerative prices. The body of the jack has tendency to angularity, and therefore he should be mated to mares of square, smooth form to overcome this tendency.
 In order to raise colts, the average farmer must either breed his working mares or work his brood mares. The question which confronts the farmer Is how to secure natural conditions for his mares while at work. The mare at work is just as well of for fresh air, sunshine and exercise as the mare in the pasture. but the labor requires more energy and tissue-building mate rial in addition to that for body up- keep and development of the foetus.
