FEEDING FARM WORK HORSES
Farmers Are Urged to Utilize Home
Grown Feeds to Fullest Extent
Grain Is Essential.

In feeding horses utilize home
grown feeds to the fullest extent. In
a section where corn can be well ma
tured, this grain ought to constitute
the greater portion of the concentrated
feed for work horses.
Corn alone can be used as q grain
feed for work horses if a good quality
of alfalfa or clover hay is fed for
roughage. When combined with mixed
hay or timothy hay, grain combina-
ton of three parts corn and one part
oats by weight is a satisfactory mix
ture.
If oats are scarce and high in price,
cottonseed-meal or oilmeal may be
substituted for the protein furnished
by the oats. One-third to one-half
pound of linseed meal will, with the
amount secured through mixed hay,
furnish sufficient protein for a 1900
pound working horse.
A horse at farm work requires from
Ia to IL pounds of grain per 100
pounds live weight daily. Feed grain
sufficient to keep the horse in good
condition. Hay may be linn
tied to the standard of pound of hay
to 100 pounds live weight daily. Re
luce the grain one-half on days when
he horse is idle to avoid azoturia.

MOST NUTRITIOUS OF FOODS
Sweet Corn Is More Easily Dried
Than Almost Any Other Vegetable
Plant Good Supply.

By r. W. THATCHER, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station)
Dried sweet corn is one of the most
nutritious foods. Sweet corn is more
easily dried than almost any other gar
den vegetable. For these reasons
very large amounts of sweet corn
should be dried this summer for use
next winter 1t can be planted on
small tracts or in large fields and is
one of the most easily cultivated gar
den crops.
For table use, small lots of quick
maturing varieties like the Early
Golden Bantam should be planted; but
for drying for winter use, the larger
and heavier yielding sorts, as Coun-
try Gentleman and Stowell's Ever
green, should be used.
Let everyone who has garden or
field available plant plenty Of sweet
corn to give a summer supply and a
large excess to be dried for winter
use.

The appalling death-rste from kidney

BELIEVES IRISH
SHOULD ORGANIZE

=
To The Forum: It has been sug-
gested to me that the Americans of
Irish descent ought to be organized in
our neighborhood, before they lose
their identity in this meltingpot. It
might be Of historical interest We do
not know anything about the Irish in
the valley. We cannot find much to
form an opinion from in the archives
in the Red River Old Settlers asso-
citation nor in the Cass County, Old
Settlers association. The most con-
spicuous of Irish descent / believe,
was the late Bishop Stanley. He had
interest in history, but he is dead.
Since then have never met anybody
equal to him in this direction.
The Irish are patriotic and as such
interviewer in the American history.
They have always been willing to sac
riflce their. body and blood for what
they may have thought was worth
fighting for. Washington's birthday
has therefore been suggested as a At
day for forming such society.
Irish lace, linen and Ornamental
ton has always been famous. II we
are some time to start factories Of
this kind in this city or somewhere in
the state, an Irish organization ought
to do the best and most efficient work.
We have soil fit for raising fax. There
il capital in this country. The Irish
ought to be able to furnish some ex-
perience and experienced hands to
further such industries. But they will
have to put their heads together first.
We all appreciate the Irish wit.
They are able to brighten up and
make cheerful any gathering.
/ hardly know of any nation from
Europe that has suffered SO much as
the Irish. They can give US all les
son never to lose hops for better DAYS.
An Irish organization will have or
find much to promote for this COM
munity.
MIR. Powers, of the Powers, hotel,
will welcome anyone of Irish descent
at his place, where they can talk the
matter over, if they should think it
advisable to start an organization or
society to further the interest of Irish
American history, music, art and art
industries and good fellowship.

Government Meeting
the Farmer Half Way

These fundamental necessities are
defined as:
First-Available capital in suficient
quantities for the farmers legitimate
needs.
Second-Loans on longer time and
easier terms Of payment.
Third-Lower rates of interest.
Another measure cited in this con-
nection is the bonded warehouse act
or August IL, 1916. This legislation
was passed in response to demand
on the part Of the farmers for a
mechanism that would enable them to
borrow money more easily, and at a.
lower rate OF interest, on stored crops.
1t permits a farmer to place produce
in bonded warehouse and secure a
receipt for it. On this receipt he can
easily borrow money, for it represents
gilt-edged security. The risk which in
the old days the banker took in lend
ing money. even to farmers with good
credit, is eliminated by this method
and the rates OF interest therefore
lowered. In addition, the farmer now
has a much larger field in which to
negotiate his loans than in the days
when he was practically limited to
those bankers who knew him person
ally.
The cotton futures act and the
United States grain standards act are
cited as further examples of recent
progressive agrarian legislation. 1.-THE
latter of these" Mr.. Vrooman says,
sis step in the direction Of national
efficiency and national economic pre-
paredness." It's effect will be markedly
beneficial on our foreign commerce in
grain. OF the cotton futures act 1t Is
said that the net result already has
been that the prices OF cotton which
are now published every day through
out the country reflect the actual
changes in the value Of cotton rather
than quotations Of arbitrary fuctua-
tons created by gamblers for their
own benefit, as was too often the case
in the past.
In summing up the effect Of these
and other laws, Mr.. Vrooman says:
at is clear. think, that as a result of
this splendid program Of constructive
legislation, new agricultural epoch
has begun. At last what for so long
was merely the hope, the aspiration,
the dream of the widely scattered, i'm
perfectly organized filters Of our soil
has become the avowed policy Of the
federal department Of agriculture, and
has been written by congress into the
law of the land"
In conclusion the assistant secre-
tary says: There is indeed still need
for organized effort on the part OF
farmers, still need for educational
campaigns in behalf of measures to
meet those requirements of the farm
err which still remain unsatisfied. But
It is a great thing that the govern
ment of the nation that leads the
world in agricultural production at
last is meeting the farmer at least
half way and has manifested a will
ingness, and a friendly desire, to CO.
operate with him in the future in any
constru ctive work that looks to the
building up Of our national prosperity
on the basis Of a permanently pros
porous agriculture"
