TCDAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Oct. 6.-CORN-Reports Of kill
ing frosts in the main corn belt failed to-
day to lift corn prices. The majority Of
traders appeared to have a settled belief
that the bulk of the crop was matured be-
yond damage Instead of the frost acting
as a stimulus to buying they noticeably
increased realizing sales. Opening quota
tons which ranged from A@3sc off to
sc up, were followed by moderate gen.
eral set back and then a slight rally.
Rallies did not prove of a lasting sort
The market closed steady but kc to &c
net lower at s1-1SA December and $1.15as
May.
OATS-Lack of any signs of a renewal
of expert buying weakened oats Dealers
chiefly watched the action of corn.
PROVISIONS-Commis houses were
fair buyers of provisions The impetus
to purchase was ascribed in the main to the
liberal amounts taken of late for Belgium
Nearby deliveries of lard were in de-
mand from representatives of packers. 1t

ECONOMIZING IN THE USE OF
GRAIN.
j. +. D.. Augusta, Ca, writes: on ac-
count OF the high price of grain, are
going to have to change our stock feed. We
would like - know the best way TO feed
velvet beans, cotton seed meal and oats
and hay. win the stock eat cotton seed
meal straight?
Cotton seed meal is not adapted TO
feeding directly to horses and mules, as
it is too concentrated a food for them.
1t could, however, be mixed with corn
and cob meal, velvet bean meal or with
ground oats. One of the best ways in
which to use cotton seed meal is in the
proportion of 100 pounds to 600 pounds
of corn and cob meal, or 100 pounds to
500 pounds of corn meal. Another good
formula is 100 pounds of cotton seed
meal. 800 pounds of corn and cob meal
and $50 pounds of chopped oats. Vel
vet beans can be fed in equal parts with
corn and cob meal or corn meal Horses
and mules receiving any of the above
rations should be fed at the rate OF
about 10 pounds per 1000 pounds of live
weight Divide the grain in two or three
feeds as you see proper. They should
receive i'm addition ID to Is pounds Of
clean bright hay.

In our opinion there is nothing
wrong with your mule except her age
and the fact that she is probably suf-
fering from q more or less chronic
form of indigestion. When animals be-
come run down or lose their appetite
from overwoTk or insufficient variety of
food materials they often pick up trash
about the yard. The chances are that
you are feeding corn alone and long
fodder. which is not particularly pala-
table. You should provide some sue
culent food in the ration and YOU
should cut out the corn or mix il with
equal parts OF bran or oats so as to
supply your mule with elements in
which corn alone is deficient.
A good digestive tonic TO use would
he a mixture of two pounds Glaubers
salts. one pound common salt. one-half
pound sodium bicarbonate. Give a tea
spoonful of this medicine on the feed
three times a day.

front in France, along the line held
BY the French troops against the
Germans in the region running east
ward from Scissors into Champagne

Sir Douglas Haig's troops have
again smashed into the German
front east and northeast Of Messines
an.; largely extended the gains pre-
viously made in this region. Nearly
Two miles Of trenches were stormed
and occupied by the Britishers and
in addition the small village Of
Gaspard, directly east Of Messines,
was captured.
Berlin reports activity by the
British cavalry east Of Messines dur
ing Monday afternoon, but says the
stack by the mounted men was re-
pulsed and only remains Of them
were able to return to their posi-
tions. The German artilltry in the
neighborhood Of Lens and Ypres is
bombarding the British line.
The artillery of the French and
Germans is still active along the
Chemin- and in Champa-
gne. During Tuesday the French
made raids on German trenches
near the Butte de Mesnil and in the
region of Haute Chevanche doing
considerable damage to the positions

THE filiriho AiiD THE WAR

'In these days Of emotional stress

Philippines, ''It is i matter Of keen
pride fof the handful 81 Americans
who cali the Philippines their home
to testify to the unstinted loyalty
and support which the Filipinos
have given President Wilson and the
United States in the days during the
country drifted slowly into the war.
In the press there has been but one
discordant note-that of fear of the
consequences upon the Filipino peo-
pie of actual warfare-but this note
was q personal one. It was not an
attempt to interpret the national
Filipino attitude on the war. The
Filipinos are heart and soul with the
United States. They believe the
American cause that Of justice.
They are fervent believers in the
absolute honesty and sense of JUS
tice of President Wilson. They are
intensely grateful to the President
and to his representative in the in.
sular government for the execution
of promises which have led to the
present system Of government, and
this gratitude is reflected in the uni

given the President. They are, in .
word, patriotic Americans"
