drafts, plenty of exercise and whole
some food will go long way toward
prevention, it is not sufficient. One
of the chief means of communication
of the disease germs is through the
drinking water.
The following antiseptic is one of
the most effective-In the bottom of
a quart jar put layer of potassium
permanganate crystal and add cold
water, always being careful to keep
more crystals than the water will dis
solve. This will constitute your
stock solution, and from this jar add
just enough liquid to give the drinking
water deep violet color. This will
mean one or two teaspoonsful to a
ten-quart pail.
Make it a practice of not allowing
your birds to drink any water without
this antiseptic, and you have taken a
big step in preventing roup.-C. S.

Out of War, Maybe-Into Debt, With
out Doubt

When the alert and none too scrup-
ulous democrats began to tell how
Wilson kept us out of war;" it is
well for republicans to demand a bill
of particulars.
What are the countries with whom
Wilson kept US from battling? How
did he do it? Who wanted to fight
us-and what about? How did the
issue arise Did Wilson create it?
A little cross examination will dem
onstrate that if we have been kept out
Of war, Wilson had nothing to do
with it. But that he got US into debt
is certainty.
The condition of the United States
treasury at the close of business on
October Ia showed a deficit Of more
than 10000, 900 for the present fiscal
year-which is only about a quarter
along. This years deficit is 100000
900 larger than it was last year. How
much it will be on election day, no
body can forecast. But it is increas-
ing daily-some days by as much as
two million dollars.

BALANCING THE RATION FOR
THE DAIRY HERD
Economy Demands That Ration BE
Made Up OF Hometown Feed
As Much As Possible

Economy in feeding usually de
mands that as much of the ration as
possible be made up of homegrown
feed stuffs, especially with regard TO
the roughage.
First, provide for all the good clean
arm-grown roughage that the COW
will eat up clean, as the nutrients in
roughage are generally much cheaper
than in concentrated feeds.
Now consider ' neither the grain on
hand is such as to make a balanced
ration with the roughage used. Con
eentrates must be used because cows
cannot consume enough coarse bulky
feed to supply all their own bodily
requirements, and have enough left
for n large flow of milk If the dairy
man has plenty of alfalfa hay, he
can practically balance his rations
nicely with ordinary farm grains, such
AS corn, barley and oats. Five per
cent of cottonseed meal or linseed
meal added to this grain mixture will
increase production.
If the roughage consists entirely
Of native hay, straw, corn fodder OF
corn silage, he can still use his home
grown grains but it will be necessary
to use bran, cottonseed meal, or lin
seed meal also to supply sufficient
protein A good grain mixture in
this case would consist of equal parts
