CARE OF HORSES SHOULDERS
Some Timely Suggestions Given by
Ohio College Of AgricuIture-Be
Careful Of Collars.

The Ohio College Of Agriculture
gives some timely suggestions for the
care and protection of horses Shout
ders:
Do not use sweat pads.
Keep collars clean of dandruff and
dirt, especially if soreness develops.
Sponge the shoulders of work horses
with cold water at night after work.
If they are sweaty at noon, sponge
at noon also.
Care should be taken in lifting col
lars on work horses Many collars are
too big or TOO loose. If the withers
are fat or especially full, the fitting OF
collars will need extra care.

MILK SUBSTITUTE FOR CALF
Many Experiment Stations Glad to
Furnish Farmer With Formula
Care at WEAVING Time.

The calf raising season is now here
and with the present high prices of
milk and veal, and the increasing
value of both dairy and beef cattle,
we cannot impress upon our readers
too pOintedly the advantages Of using
milk substitute in raising their
calves.
There are some excellent milk sub
stitutes on the market and, if farmer
wishes to make one himself, there are
many of the experiment stations that
will be glad to furnish him with vari-
Gus formulas for so doing.
1t has been proved time and time
again that while the results secured
from milk substitutes are not as cas-
lily obtained as those produced by a
milk ration, if proper care is taken
after weaving time. the final develop
ment of the heifer raised upon the
best milk substitutes will be almost
equal to the milk-fed Individual

commonly used in The South, where
they are extensively grown, but are
practically unknown in the North and
Northwest, where other, often more
expensive, beans are consumed in large
quantities.
There are many varieties Of cow
peas, of which the white and black-eye
sorts are considered particularly de-
sirable for the table. In palatability,
digestibility and nutritive value they
compare favorably with other BEANS
while their delicate and pleasant flavor
leads many to consider them equal, If
not superior, to the letter.
Cowpeas are used on the table in
three forms-in the pod, shelled green
and shelled dry-corresponding, re-
spectively, to string beans, shelled
green beans and dried beans, and call
ing for much the same methods Of
preparation for the table. The dry
cowpeas are by far the most common.
Like dry navy or Lima beans, cow
peas may be boiled with a bit of fat
meat or baked and served in place of
lean meat or other food rich in nitro
gen. Boiled and mashed through a
colander, the beans form foundation
for numerous dishes. They may be
creamed with milk and butter, like
mashed potatoes; formed into GRO
quettes with bread crumbs and fried
or baked; made into loaf with bread
crumbs, minced vegetables, milk and
seasonings; or made into soup.
A delicious combination dish, called
Hopping john" may be made as fol-
lows: Boil one quart Of cowpeas and
scant pint of rice separately and mix
together when done. The rice should
BE- seasoned after it is cooked. Bacon
or beef bone boiled with the cowpeas
adds a desirable flavor to the dish.

REGULAR FEEDING FOR CALF
ticable and Continue 1t for at
Least Six Months.

All calves should be fed regularly !;
very yealng calves should be fed three
times 4 day.
At first, the calf is fed whole milk,
the quantity being gradually in
creased. Skim milk is substituted as
soon as practicable, and is continued
until the calf is six months old.
Ordinarily, the maximum quantity
Of skim milk that can be fed econOmi-
eally is 20 pounds a day.
When the calf is two weeks old,
grain and fresh, clean hay should be
increased as the appetites Of the
calves demand.

MORE WHEAT SEED REQUIRED
Tendency Among Farmers to Sow Too
Little Rather Than Too Much,
Says Ohio Station.

The quantity Of seed wheat to sow
to the acre should be varied according
to size Of kernel, condition and fer
tinty. From six to eight pecks per
acre gave the best results in expert
ments totaling 33 years at the Ohio,
Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas
and Oklahoma experiment stations.
The tendency among most growers is
to use too little rather than too much
seed.

Henderson COUNTY
Highways Receive
Valuable PubHCitu
HENDERSONVILLE MAY
BE ON DIXIE HIGHWAY.
Efforts Made i'm Various Sections to
Have Road Through HendersOnVille
Given I'm the Dixie Highway System.

The Portland Cement Association
with offices in the leading cities of
the United States in a two-third page
advertisement in the Literary Digest
for November II, gives Road Engineer
P. F. Patton of Henderson, GreenvilIe
and Chester counties some valuable
publicity by giving to good advantage
a picture OF a beautiful stretch of con-
crete road engineered by Mr.. Patton
near Greer, s.. G.
This advertisement advocates a
system of concrete roads to relieve the
lack OF transportation facilities by
rail, contending that short hauIs
should be made by motor truck and
concrete highway.
The article below from the Ashe-
vile Times of Nov. q shows that eff
forts are being made to have the road
through Hendersonville included in
the Dixie highway and that cuts of
the concrete rOa from AshevilIe to
the Henderson county line, which is
nearly complete will also be included
in concrete advertisements in leading
publications.
The Hustler is informed that people
down in South Carolina are exerting
themselves in an effort to have this
road shown on the maps as a part of
the Dixie highway.
The article from the Times follows:
Il want some of those fine pictures
of Buncombe county's concrete roads"
said E. M. McGOVern of Chattanooga,
Tenn, to a board of trade officials this
morning. The pictures were furnish
ed to him promptly from samples of
one each which the secretary had just
got from the photographer.
Mr.. McGovern said that Buncombe
county was becoming known through
out the country as the concrete road
county of the south and he gave it as
his opinion that with the further i'm
provement of the road to Knoxville
and Chattanooga and the west that
many thousands of automobile tourists
would come into and through this
section to see and enjoy the wealth of
mountain scenery here. In fact. he
said, to show the road from Knoxville
to G~reenville and Atlanta as a part of
the Dixie highway system of roads
connecting the central north with the
south, would be of Unreasonable ben
eft to the Dixie road system. The
photographs he has received are to
be used in a big advertisement OF the
Concrete association in the Saturday
Evening Post. with the location shown.

Meatless DAYS for Germans.

Observation-Disclosures an 1nVeStl-
cation into the charge that the Intern
ed Germans at Hot Springs were not
observing wheatless and meatless days
the department Of labor announced to-
night that beginning at once the camp
will observe one mealess day each
week. The Germans are already OBJ
serving wheatless days now because
the majority of them say they prefer
rye bread to wheat bread.
This action was taken after a thor
Ough investigation had been made into
the charge of Asheville and other wo-
men of the western section of the state
trat while the food administration was
asking Americans to observe wheat
less and meatless days no such regu-
lations were being observed by the
government itself in feeding the in
termed Germans at Hot Springs.
When the report came to Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover that women OF
western North Carolina objected to the
fare the Germans were being treated
at Springs he at once recommended
that the bill of fare furnished the
kaiser's subjects at Hot Springs be
cut down. At first the department of
labor was not inclined to seriously
consider the charges but later on it
was decided to make a thorough lnves-
tigation. The report of the investi-
CATION was filed with the department
late this afternoon and the Daily News
correspondent is authorized to state
that meatless days will be put into
effect at once.

the acknowledgements high

America, in his report of road condi-
lions from New York to AshevilIe.
Mr.. Wells is an impartial expert who

country. so that his information may
be available, to the motorists of Amer
lea. He pays high tribute to P. F.
Patton, road engineer for G%reenvi1Ie
county: 81 II
This is what Mr.. Wells haste say:
"The best way to reach Asheville,
N. c., at the present time is to follow
the trunk line through to Greenville,
then take the Saluda-Hendersonville
road to Asheville, as the Hickorynut
Gap road from Salisbury has a number
of very bad stretches and in wet
weather would be impossible.
The Chimney Rock route through
Kings Mountain and Rutherford to
Chimney Rock also has some bad
stretches. The Spartanburg-Hender-
sonville road is in fair shape to Tryon.
but from there on through Saluda is
a very narrow mountain Dad with a
number of long stretches where the
road winds around the mountain and
is very precipitous and dangerous.

| places for two cars to pass and the

the war would not have been forced
upon the country.
However that is a side issue The
main point, as leaders said. was that
the party is committed TO a prosecu-
ton of the war, and it is said that
many militants. who dislike everything
Democratic, were not pleased. Judg-
ing from what was said Monday night
at the caucus, it is a safe proposition
that Messrs. Settle, A. A. Whitener,
Brownlow Jackson and John M. More
head stood by their guns for a patrf-
otto resolution. That is; no secret.
And the other member of the commit
tee. w. H. Barley, also spoke in favor
of such a resolution. Senator Butler
was not a member of the committee,
but he was in a conference that lasted
two hours and three-quarters by the
watch. What was done in Mr.. White

known, if anything. but the committee
was in session a mighty long time in

Aloha nui, the Kakaako correspondent
greeted me. i come see you, Joshes Bluff,
for get you Join Double Cross"
What do you mean, kahuna Nui?" eiac-
ulated in mild astonishment This is not
election time, and anyway, nobody's going
to slip me the Double Cross if see him first.
Now, if you happen to have any other crosses
on hand-the Cross of Gold, for instance My
old friend Willie Jennings Bryan took an aw-
full fall out Of that cross a good many years
ago; that's how he contracted the habit of
running for President. But, just the same, if
I'm going to be crucifed, shall insist upon
cross Of gold.''

ment, you want me to join the Double

Il don't know much about this Red Cross

calculated to interfere with business as usual
and lot Of people | know don't like that
Anyway, what's it got to do with you and
meo We're not rich, are we?"
Me- I'm not rich, no" replied Kahuna
Nui. Us working-on-the-road fallers don't
got SO much money like Bob Shingles and sum
other malefactors Of great wealth. But some
time we got one two dollars what we use for
buy gin for get headache. My Friend AL
Castle tell me one day becos that old Kaiser
Willie spend all his time now making corpses
and orphants and widows-how he kill cry
buddy so make the world civilize, and the
people what don't get killed yet they need
plainly money for. buy medicine and clothes
to for tie up hole where the kultur bullet go
in, and kau-kau for the keiki of the sholder
what Hun Willie make.
And AL tell for me becos bimeby when
Hawaii really truly waking up (she moemoe
this time) and find out the Sammees are fight
with Kaiser Willies Huns, then errybody will
want to give all the money what can they
afforded for help those poor peoples.
And Al. tell for me- too, that next Satur-
day the Red Crossers go all around town and
down in Kakaako and Punahou and other
residence districts where US working-on-the-
road fallers and politicians and missionaries
lives, and ask us all to ioin the Red Cross and
give our money for those shooted sholders
and sick keiks and women what lose their
married husbands.
And mother things AL told to for me that
this war our war-not President Wilson war
or congress war or the rich faller war; And

things if we join the Red Crosses and give
our money what before we spend for buy
headache water, so the Red Crosses can buy
a milk for the keikis and a medicine and
bandage for the Sammies what get a hurt.
The earnestness Of kahuna Nui impressed
me, and, painful as it was, began to think.
"kahuna Nuts right at that, my con-
cluson. It's up to all of us to get in and do
our share-especially as we can't get anybody
else to do it for us. And told the Kakaako

Kahuna Nui promised that next Saturday
he would come around and let me sign my
name to the Red Cross roll and that he would
decorate me with Red Cross that has any
other sort Of cross beaten to FRAGILE,

Of Honolulu-for the old gentleman told me
that he expected every body in the city, includ-
ing all the working n-the-road fallers and
