How Arc You colnu to Winter
Your Horses?

Winter is here, and feed is
scarce. Hay and grain of all
kinds cost more than ever before.
So it is necessary that we plan
carefully. 1t is up to us to keep
our animals in good condition so
as to be ready for spring work. 1t
is up to us to do this as cheaply
as possible because of prevailing
prices, and because of the great
need of feed in our own country
and by our allies.
Ordinarily the farmer winters
his horses on hay and a small
amount of oats. At this time hay
is selling at All enormous price,
and oats is also scarce. There is
one other feed to turn to. Oats
straw is preferable, but barley and
wheat straw will do. Horses night
live through the winter on straw
alone. but they would be in poo.
condition in the spring. Straw is
a good feed, but it is too low in
protein. Protein is that part of
amy feed used in building up tissue
and muscle. So if we could feed
something rich in protein with the
straw, our horses would come thru
in better condition. A mixture Of
pnal nartS Of hra,, and oil meal
will supply this deficiency in pro
tcin. Three pounds per day of this
mixture and AS much straw as the
horse will eat will winter hors.
fairly we'll. With oil meal at $6j
and bran at x35 per ton, this will
mean Z l-2c per day. Until April
lst., that will cost 5000 per horse
Lots of straw has a tendency to.
wards constipation. The oil meal
and bran and plenty of water will
offset this. The best of shelter will
also lessen the feed bill. Cows not
producing much milk or beef could
be handled in this way also. Young
stock could be kept over winter in
this way but little growth could bt
expected.
This plan is not new, but is used
considerably in foreign countries.

Cannot Crush Industry.

An esteemed contemporary OF
this state has made a strong pre-
sentiment of its cause, but the case
is enveloped in doubt. Reviewing
the havoc Of war and the battles
confusion it holds that we cannot
for many years be injured by Eur
opean competition. The editorial
is in style and in pathos one Of tia"
best that We have read since the
war began. ..
Yet John Fiske had cause t,
speak of the increasing toughness
of civilization.'' Where is tn,
evidence that war can crush the III
dustry of a nation that has attain
ed to skill in manufactures, tba;
has for centuries accumulated cal,-
ital, that has a long established ay'-
cultural system. or that has grown
accustomed to the sea? The myth
of the phoenix is childish tale
compared to the marvels of lIo-
land in her long war with Spain:
England in her civil war and in 1hs-
great Napolenic contest; Germany
after the Seven Years War:
France, after her downfall in 1871.
Our two wars with Great Brit
ain developed manufactures: our
war with Mexico brought Oh fever

was no sooner over than we set
about the great highway to the
Pacific. War consumes burns.
wastes, spreads havoc everywhere.
and for that reason it calls forth
the power of repair and recon-
struction to a degree unknown in
quiet times.
Peace, however shows the power
OF rebound and revival. What

Railroads Reserve Higher Rate.

With greatly increased opcrat-
ing costs making inloads into rail
roads revenues, it is to be expected
that rate advances must be permit
ted to prevent financial stress on
the part of the carriers. North
Dakota can do it's share by granting
a ID per cent increase in Interstate
freight rates. 1t is to be- hoped that
the Railroad commission will go on
record in playing fair with the
roads, and that it will listen to
their arguments with an open
mind.
Sacrifices must be made by the
carrirs to keep traffic moving dur
ing the war. So far their efforts
have been above expectations. des-
pite the fact that about 20 percent
more business is being handled
than last year without any percep-
tible increase in equipment.
An increase of Is per cent in
freight rates in North Dakota will
mean nothing to the individual but
taken in the aggregate, will
amount to fair sum for tho roads
as help in their present dilemma.
