LLOYD George Picks OId-Time Political
Foe Because He Is Best
Man for Job.

London. Il Premier Lloyd George
picks his subordinates in curious ways.
On account of the food scarcity and
the need for increased production, the
premier was hard put to think OF
suitable man to fill the post Of presi-
dent of the board Of agriculture. A
political colleague, overhearing Mr..
Lloyd George speak of his difficulty,
said to him.
81 know the very man you want for
agriculture"
"Who is thatY' asked Mr.. Lloyd
George.
"Prothero, Of course was the re-
ply.
'Prothero, Prothero," exclaimed Mr..
Lloyd George. 'Let's see, isn't that
the man I had a controversy with
the man I once called the duke Of
Bedford's butler, or something of that
sort? Why, that's the very man 1
want"
Roland e. Prothero was an old
time political foe Of the premier's, but
that made no difference so long as he
was an efficient man for the post.

SEED FOR NATIONS LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY.

(F'rom the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
"DOn't sell your breeding animals
unless you can replace them immedi-
ately with better ones," is the message
the United States department of agri-
culture is sending to farmers and
stockmen everywhere. "Don't let the
temptation of high prices now being
offered for live stock, or undue fear of
the prices asked for many popular
feeds mislead you into selling COW or
sow that will drop the golden calf or
filters. Such nearsighted profit-taking
or lack of courage, if widespread,
would strike at the foundation Of the
country's live stock industry and Grip
pie it for years to come. AS there is
a shortage of meat animals throughout
the world, we cannot hope to import
new breeding stock to replace those we
foolishly have killed off. Our own
breeding animals, therefore, must be
regarded as the seed essential to the
domestic meat supply of the nation.

FEEDING LAMBS ON
CORN AND LEGUMES
Expert of Ohio Station Gives Re-
suits Secured in Feeding
Various RoughageS.

eWhen the same grain ration was
fed, no matter whether the grain con-
sisted of corn alone or Of corn and
linseed meal, the lambs fed clover or
alfalfa made larger gains, required
less feed per pound of gain and pro-
duced gains at lower cost for feed
than did those given either oat straw
or corn stover," said J. w. Hammond
Of the Ohio experiment station in dis
cussing the results secured in his lamb
feeding tests with various roughages.
"The value of leguminous roughages
is generally appreciated by lamb feed
ers; and most of them know that so
far as efficiency is concerned clover
and alfalfa hay are unsurpassed for
finishing lambs. On most farms, how
ever, there are always such roughages
as oat straw or corn slower that it is
desirable to utilize in the feeding op-
erations. There are years when
legumes are partial or total failure,
or not enough legumes may be raised
to feed as many lambs as desired. In
such cases timothy hay, oat straw or
corn stover are fed.
"These non-leguminous feeds, how
ever, did not prove satisfactory as
sole roughages for fattening lambs in
the feeding tests conducted at the ex-
pertinent station. They may be used
in the earlier part of long feeding
period, provided the lambs are finished
on a more efficient roughage like clo-
yer or alfalfa, or they may be used
as part of the roughage.
"Such feeds as timothy hay, oat
straw and corn slower are low in pro"
TEN, and should be supplemented with
q high-protein feed like linseed meal
In the feeding trials mentioned above
the addition of linseed meal to corn
and either oat straw or corn slower re,
suited in larger and cheaper gains and
higher finish on the lambs. Still, the
gains made by these lambs were more
costly than those produced by clover
or alfalfa"

GREEN ALFALFA is
CAUSE OF FLOATING
Always Wise to Give Live Stock
Full Feed of Hay Before Turn
ing Them on Pasture.

(By R. H. WILLIAMS, Animal Husband
man, University of Arizona-)
Cattle and sheep are very suscept-
ible to injuries from bloat when pas
tured on alfalfa. Extra care is neces-
sary to avoid deaths, and many times
not a few animals will die in spite
of the greatest care possible. 1t is
always wise to give animals a full
feed of alfalfa hay, corn fodder or
other food before turning them out
on alfalfa pasture. The alfalfa should
be fairly we'll matured, and of dark
green color, for it is the light green
alfalfa which causes blOat. Animals
that have not been accustomed to
alfalfa should follow those having
grazed the field down, leaving moth
ing but the coarse woody stems and
a small portion of green shoots.
After being left on such a pasture
for a while they may be graduated
to other fields with more alfalfa.
Supplying the animals with alfalfa
hay or other dry food along with the
alfalfa will also have q good effect in
checking the bloat.
Since the new shoots are the por-
lions of the plant which cause bloat-
ing, it is wise to turn animals into
an alfalfa field only few minutes
for the first time, ten minutes is
probably sufficient, and not more
than twenty minutes at a time for
the first week. After this time the
period may be heightened and the
animals allowed to Craze at will. 1t
will thus be necessary to turn the
stock into the field two or three
times a day, and they should be
taken off before they begin to bloat
BY allowing some. of the animals to
Craze over a fresh area and secure
a small amount of heads and turn
them back onto the main stems little
bloat will result. This is probably
one of the best ways Of preventing the
trouble.
It has been found that moving ami
mails around and compelling them to
exercise relieves those somewhat that
are suffering from bloat. A dose of
for1naline, consisting of 40 &C Cor
three tablespoonfuls), for a mature
steer. or one-fourth Of this amount
for a calf, has a specific effect in re-
lieving the formation of gas in the
stomach. Some run rubber hose
down the throat into the paunch and
the gas is liberated through it. A
small teacupful of kerosene and one
half pint of sweet milk is also a
good specific for this trouble. A
small amount of turpentine in this
mixture would also facilitate relief.
When an animal is so far gone as to
stagger and be almost ready to fall,
it will be wise to use the trocar and
canula, by puncturing the rumen just
below and in front Of the hip bone.

GERMANS GET BOGUS PAPERS
Fury of British Drive Made lmpossi.
BILE to Continue Publication of
the Genuine.

London.-War papers issued by
German armies at the front are bring
ing high prices. The fury Of the Brit
ish drive has made 1t impossible to
continue their publication and scarcity
Of numbers issued has resulted in as
high as 300 marks ($60) being offered
for a single copy.
Printers throughout the empire are
working on counterfeit reproductions,
many of which are so near the orig
inals that it is impossible to tell them
apart. Although warnings have been
given not to, buy the bogus copies,
thousands are being sold as originals
throughout the country.

human consumption should be used as
largely as possible in feeding the live
stock. By feeding straw or corn slower,
especially for wintering mature stock
erS and breeding animals, farmers will
make the best possible use of these
roughages. In this way large pro-
portion of the straw and slower ordi.
narily burned or wasted can be manu-
featured into meat and milk. Grain
sOrghums, wherever they are available,
should be fed to release corn for hui
man uses. Grain, where fed, should be-
used as economically as possible.
"Every animal should be a factory
for turning into food material inedible
for human beings. This will necessi-
tate changes in many feeding formulas
and stockmen are urged to apply at
once to the United States department
of agriculture or their state agricul-
tural colleges for information as to the
most effective and economical methods
Of feeding live stock under existing
emergency conditions"

POST FOR MAN HE DERlDED NOT ONE STACKER THERE
Father and Five Sons Of New Jersey
Are All in Army in War With
Germany.

Verona, N. J.-No one would accuse
Thomas Elston of this place and his
family Of eight Of being group OF
slackers. The father, who is now an
American citizen, was born in Devon
shire, England, and served six years
in the artillery branch of the British
army. Too old for active service in
the land of his adoption, he has Joined
the Verona Home battalion.
The family consists Of five boys and
three girls. The girls are all married
and rearing families. The boys are
following in the footsteps Of their
father. Francis, the eldest son, served
two years with the British army in
South Africa during the BOer war.
while Frederick, the next son, also
served in the Boer war and is now
somewhere in Salonih with the Royal
Engineer corps.
William, the third son, was about to
enlist at the beginning Of the war,
but was prevented from doing so by a
broken leg. The father has not heard
from him for months and believes he
is now at the front with the British
forces. The fourth son, George, en-
listed in the aerial corps and is now
at the western front in France.
Gilbert is the only son whose home
is with his father here. When troops
were ordered to the Mexican border
he enlisted in Company K, Fifth New
Jersey infantry, and served until mus
tered out. Upon the recent call Of
the president he again responded and
is now with Company K in New Jer-
sey.

lone CHANCE IN THREE Of BEING CALLED TO ARMY

jects, those who are obviously physi-1
cally unfit, and in general persons en-
ployed in the public service, mariners,
wOrkmen in arsenals, armories and at!
the navy yards. The regulations will
designate specifically how these gen.
eral exemptions are to be made.
Those who do not fall within these
general classes must appear before the,
exemption board within their district
and set forth their claims. The mere
fact, for example, that man is mar
ried and has children will be no bar to
his selection for service. He must
demonstrate that he contributes to the
support of his family. The village
idler whose wife takes in washing will
probably have difficulty in convincing
the board that he should not go into
training.
The call will be made by the presi-
dent for certain number of men suffi-
GENTLY large to make 1t certain that
the necessary number for actual serv~
ice will be obtained after eliminationS
LUZ OuG CAUSE VI duOIIl6r.
The board which is now devising the
scheme by which the men may be
chosen has experimental with various
devices for drawing by lot. 1t is prob
able that this phase of the draft will
be made public ceremony, which will
be carried out at the capitols Of the
states or in some other public place.
If the registrant has run the exemp-
ton gantlet he will present himself be-
fore the military authorities for physi-
cal examination. If rejected, he Will
be dismissed, but record OF his case
will be kept. If accepted, he will be
sent to one of the sixteen environments
where he will undergo training to 1T
him for the rigors of war or held in
readiness to enter one Of the training
camps which will be drawn upon to I'LL
gaps in the ranks.
A Tremendous Task.
Army officials do not minimize the
difficulty of the intricate task ahead
Of them. The president is wrestling
with the problem of selecting the ex-
emption boards, so that there will be
no basis for charges of favoritism or
political preference. The normal board
probably will be the same as that
which conducted the registration, but
there will probably be many excep-
tons to the general rule. An effort Is
being made to obtain men only OF the
highest character for the appellate
boards.
General Crowder and his assistants
are very careful not to disclose even
the most general features Of the sys-
tenn upon which they have virtually
agreed. They fear that if it were ex-
planned now changes that might be
made before it's final approval by the
president would lead to confusion. Fer
that reason the word is not to be given
until every detail has been pondered
carefully, and when it is given there Is
to be no retracing Of steps.

RESPOND TO CARE
Fact Demonstrated Repeatedly, Yet
Farmers Expect to Get Fruit With
out Any Attention.

That orchards respond to care has
been demonstrated repeatedly. IL
spite of this fact, however, many farm
ers expect their trees to bear fruit
without any attention whatever. II Is
JUST as important to care for trees as
it is for animals. A highly productive
tree is no more capable Of shifting for
itself and competing with its enemies
than an animal, yet farmers will take
better care of their live stock than they
do of their trees, simply because they
can more readily see the effect of neg.
lect on an animal than on a tree.
