ing down Elm street. at the east end
of the bridge. according to the latter's
story, and as they approached the
bridge both remarked the fallen tree.

to watch out. Only q few feet pass
age remained between the branches
of the PROSTATE tree and the fence
running along the sidewalk.

crossed safely. Hearing an "Oh," be-
hind them, they turned to find the old

FOR TRAINED men
War Creates Demand for Druq.

GERS. Chemists, Etc.

State College. Pullman.-That wars
increased demand for the services Of

others trained to render the industrial
and scientific services TO which war
exigencies now are giving added i'm
petus is being felt in the country is
abundantly evidenced in government
announcements and regular cores

Many of these requests are to re-
place in civilian employment, the
services of those who have entered
the army, or expect to do so in the
immediate future. This is particularly
true of druggists, veterinarians, en-
gineers and chemists.
Shortage Of Veterinarians.
Dean S. b. Nelson, of the college Of
veterinary science, states that after
locating ali available graduates. he
still has requests to fill twelve or
more veterinarians to enter temper
arily. pending the taking of eXamna-
tons for permanent service. the EN-
plOyment of the L. s. Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry. Other requests are for
trained veterinarians to enter the
Army Veterinary Officers Reserve
Corps with the rank of first lieuten-
ant.
After available graduates and under
graduates were used up in supplying
the increased demand. DR.. c. G Todd,
of the department of chemistry, re-
ports eight untitled requests for milk
chemists, cement chemists and assay
ers, with the number increasing.
More Pharmacists Needed.
DR.. p. Il. Dirstine, of the school Of
pharmacy, states that from Idaho,
Montana, and Washington, the school
gists. To replace druggists who have
gone into the service of the army and
navy the past summer, many first
year students in pharmacy have been
employed as assistants.
Dean H. V. Carpenter, of the college
of mechanic arts and engineering.
says that already the college feels an
increased demand for trained engin.

mechanical engineers, electricians and
mining engineers. Other engineering

REDUCE COSTS BY
RIGHT FEEDING
State College Veterinarian
Says 5 to IS Per Cent Of
I Grain and Hay Is Lost.

Washington State College. Pullman
DIR. s. B. Nelson, dean Of the college
of veterinary science of the State Col
lege, describes as erroneous, and cost.
lily in hay and grain, the following
rather prevalent routine of feeding
the work,horse
Grain and hay In the morning |;
water. just before hitching to go to
the field; at noon, water, grain and
hay; at night, water, grain and hay.
Horses Stomach 10 Small.
1.-THE horses stomach" says DR..
Nelson. "holds only three and one,
half or four gallons. A horse may
drink seven or eight gallons of water.
or more, at one time. This means
that the water goes right through the
stomach, into the small intestines, and
thence into the large intestines which
are the horses reservoir for liquids.
Under the type of feeding above
described, here is what happens: In
the morning, grain goes into the
horses stomach. Then comes the hay,
forcing the grain out of the stomach.
Then comes the water, forcing the
grain still farther back.
Grain is Wasted.
"At noon, the horse is watered
right; but he Is again given grain /;
then hay, which again forces the grain
out of his stomach. The same thing
happens at night
This means an actual money loss
of from five to fifteen per cent-that
much hay and grain is forced through
the horses body undigested."
To save this loss, and give the horse
more energy out OF his feed, DR.. Mel
son recommends the following plan of
feeding which Is used in the veterin-
airy hospitals, and which farmers
throughout the state who have adopt
ed 1t, are reporting successful
Water the first thing in the morn

hour or 20. until stomach 10 filled with
