TREATMENT FOR AILING PIGS
Breaking Out Of Body Caused by Mar
row Ration High In Protein
Can Be Remedied.

When pigs are fed on q very mar
row ration with a high content of pro-
TEN and limited amount Of energy
and fat-forming material, they are
subject to breaking out Of the body
which causes considerable irritation.
This has been noticed when pigs are
turned on a pasture very rich In pro-
tein, especially when the pigs had
previously been on q feed that was
lacking in this content, These pigs
will unquestionably improve If you
will feed mixture of IL parts of
cornmeal, two parts of shorts and
one part CT oil meal along with the
separated milk. Spray these pigs
again with light crude oil and apply
over the worst spots Of the body a
mixture of three parts Of unsalted
lard and one part of flowers of sui
phur.

FEEDING R0UGHAGE TO EWES
Animals Consume Large Quantities Of
Bulky Feed and Need compara-
lively Little Grain.

Breeding ewes consume compare
lively large quantities of roughage and
need but little grain. OF this rough
age corn stover and oat straw may
well form an important and economi-
cal part, but they should be supple
mented by other feeds containing more
protein. Sheep win eat, about 20 to
IS per cent Of the total weight of the
slower, leaving the stalks. Wheat
straw is not so valuable for sheep
feeding as oat straw, while rye straw
has practically no value in sheep re-
tions.

that halted subway traffic Saturday.
w. L. Ransom. counsel for the COM
mission, declared it was his belief
there had be en- no difficulty in getting
coal, but that the trounle was over the
price.
Hedley declared the system has
been operating on an extremely mar
row margin for three months. Coal,
he said, has been SO scarce a tie-up
has been threatened several times.
The government, he charged, has been
confiscating the coal that should
have gone to operate the subway
Later: Danger of another tie-up in
the New York subways was averted
today, it was announced by Vice
President Frank Hedley, when enough
coal to run the trains was received
1.-The coal situation is clearing up.
We have coal at the power-house and
more on the way There is no danger
of a tie-up today" Hedley said.

First to Organize.
Labette is the first county to organ
lie to oppose the draft. In several
states suits have been filed to test he
draft law. None of these actions have
been maintained when presented il.
court. While miles of resolutions
have been passed by farmers and I've
stock organizations in Kansas, no pDsi-
tive and direct opposition to the draft
has been made. The Labette county
plan no only seeks the exemption OF
the farmers, but tests the right of the
government to conscript men for army
service.
