HERE'S NEW TEST FOR ARMY
Aviation Students at X. U. Are Now
Given Psychological Tests Dur
ing Their Training.

Fourteen students of aviation at the
University of Kansas are to be given
the army aviation psychological tests
as part of their university training to
help qualify them as aviators. The
tests will be made by DR.. f. C. Dock
cray, acting head of the university de-
partment of psychology since DR.. w.
S. Hunter was commissioned first
lieutenant (of psychology several
weeks ago and began testing soldiers
psychologically at the army canton
ment at Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va.
Doctor Hunt and Prof. d. G. Paterson
were called from the University few
weeks ago to work with fifty leading
American psychologists in army and
navy cantonments in applying psyche
logical tests to men and officers want
ed for particularly exacting forms of
service.
"The psychological tests that have
been worked out for the army and
navy" said Doctor Dockeray, "are
similar in way to some Of the tests
that have been adopted by great cor
porations in selecting men for certain
work. The Ford Motor Company, the
Curtis Publishing Company and per-
haps dozen of the biggest life insur-
ance companies and other national
commercial and industrial concerns
are using psychology in selecting men
for responsible positions. In the last
ten years applied psychology has made
such advances that today in America
psychologists are applying tests calcu-
lated to determine the types of sol
diers that would succumb to shell
shock if they were put in the trenches
in France.
Professor Paterson of the Univer-
sity of Kansas volunteered his SER
vices last summer in the preliminary
experiments in psychological tests for
soldiers and with two other psycholo-
gists examined $40 recruits. These
tests are to a degree still experiment
tai but should they work out success
fully the army and navy as well as the
great commercial and industrial con-
Germs will require scores of trained
psychologists"

VACCINATION URGED
TO PREVENT CHOLERA
Expert of Kansas College Out
lines Practical Plan for
Swine Breeder to Follow.

Vaccination is cheap insurance
against hog cholera in view of the pres
ent high prices of pork, according to
DIR. c. w. Hobbs, field veterinarian and
director of the serum laboratory of the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
The exact health condition Of the
hogs and pigs should be ascertained
before treatment. The herd should be
penned in a clean and disinfected in
closure the day before they are treated,
This allows the herd to become recon
ciled to the new surroundings. One
may then take temperatures and come
to some definite conclusions as to the
condition and health Of the pigs.
Swine that are penned and prepared
for immediate treatment will show abb
normal temperature and thus render II
impossible for the veterinarian to give
an accurate statement as to their ex-
act condition.
The operator should be required to
take the temperature of each indi-
vidual before administering the serum
or virus, and If any Of the animals
show an abnormal temperature, they
should be given only the serum and be
isolated for investigation. All those
showing normal temperatures may be
given the simultaneous treatment.

FEED IMPORTANCE
FOR WINTER DAIRY
Economy in Feeding Cows as In
dividuaIs and Not as Herd
Expert Tells of Errors.

Quantity of feed ranks next to the
kind of feed in dairy rations. Econo-
mical feeding demands that cows be
fed as individuals, and not as a herd
Too frequently each COW in a herd Is
fed the same amount Of grain, regard
less of how much milk she is produc-
Ing. By this practice some cows will
be underfed, while others will be over
fed.
1t should be understood that an ami
NAL always uses certain amount of
the food it receives to maintain the
body. This is the first use to which
the food Is put, and is called the ra-
ton of maintenance. This amount is
required by the animal whether or
not she is producing milk. All feed
above this amount is used for milk
production, or is stored on the body
Of the animal as fat. In the case of,
the young animal part of this excess
is used for growth.
OF the two mistakes made in feed
ing, perhaps underfeeding is most
common, according to @. H. EcIxles of
the Missouri College of Agriculture. 1t
Is serious mistake to feed COW on
ly enough to keep up her body. She
must receive feed to keep her milk
production up to capacity. If a COW
loses weight while In milk, she is not
receiving sufficient food. A good COW
II not fed enough, will produce milk
for time at the expense of her body ;
that Is, she will take the surplus flesh
from her body, and convert 1t into
milk and thereby will lose live weight.
On the other hand, when a cow is
overfed she will begin to fatten in a
short time. This condition may be
orrected by giving her only the
amount she needs for maintenance
and for milk production. Such feed
ing will maintain practically uniform
weight.
Roughness Is the first important
consideration in feeding cows. A ccw

Slow, light work nearly every day
Is good for the brood mare. 1t will
make her healthier and the foal
stronger at birth. If it is not possible
to work her she should be turned In
an open pasture in the summer where
she can get exercise, fresh air and
nutritious feed. The maintenance of
her own body and the development Of
the foal require a good, wholesome ra-
tion which should contain little
more protein AMI ash than that de-
manded by working gelding.
If the mare is idle in winter. most
Of the feed may be roughage, but a
heavier ration must be fed when work
rs done. The quantity Of feed is de-
termined by the size and condition Of
the animal, whether thin or fat, sick or
well, by the appetite, by the amount
of work done, by individuality, condi-
tion Of the droppings, and whether
the animal is easy or hard to keep.
The following suggestions for feeding
mares in foal are from Farmers Bull
letin 803, Horse Breeding Sugges-
tions for Farmers" recently issued by
the United States department of agri-
culture.
Grains.
Oats is the best grain for the horse; ;
1t is a light, palatable, and balanced
feed. Corn is a good grain, but Is
used to better advantage If 1t forms
only from one-third to one-half of the
grain ration of the brood mare. If
wheat is fed, it must be given ground
and in small quantities. Barley is a
good horse feed; 1t is more bulky
than wheat and nearer like oats than
corn in composition. Barley is often
cooked and fed once or twice week
in the evening for its medicinal quail
tiles. Bran is an almost essential
horse feed. 1t is a regulator and a
preventive Of overfeedlng. 1t Is bulky
and palatable and lightens the ration.
Soy beans and cOwpeas are relished
by horses and when accessible will
serve as a useful addition to the grain
feed for mares in foal. They are rela-
lively rich in protein, and consequent

Aprons, "like the poor, are always

made by even the girl who is not es-
pecially clever with her needle.

is not contented unless her stomach Is
full. She should always have all the
roughness that she will clean up and
then the amount of grain she receives
should be regulated by the amount Of
milk produced. A dry COW in good
condition should be fed roughness on
ly, and does not need any grain. In
feeding grain to milk producing cows,
the following rule may be used, and is
found to work fairly well: Feed one
pound of grain for each three pounds
or pints of milk produced. A Jersey
COW producing very rich milk may
need a little more grain than the
amount given.

TO END WASTE AT FUNSTON
Water Return System Planned for Big
Heating Plant at Cost Of
$4,000.

M. e. Miller, supervising engineer
Of the heating system at Funston, has
been called to Washington by Gen. l.
w. Littell, who is in charge of canton
ment construction, regarding the in
stallation of return system for water
in the heating plant there. Mr.. Miller
is Kansas City heating expert.
When the contract for the million
dollar steam heating system at Fun
ston was left last August, 1t was de-
cided to release all the water from
the heating pipes and radiators
through series of four traps in each
building. This meant that every bit
of hot water generated by the boilers
was lost after making one trip
through the pipes.
Recommendation were made at the
time for a return system, but were not
acted upon. The immense loss Of coal,
water, and the rough wear and tear on
the boilers prompted Mr. Miller and
Maj. Fred j. Herman, constructing
quartermaster to insist upon a return
system. and as result Mr.. Miller has
been called to Washington to go over
the plans and specifications for a re-
turn system, which will cost approx
mately $150,000.
The boilers use approximately four
hundred thousand gallons of water a
day when running at capacity, and by
linking up the seventeen heating sys-
TENS and using the water over and
over again, it is estimated that 10000
gallons day will be saved.
Any mail clerk in the postoffice at
Camp Funston will tell you that the
soldier boys get more letters each day
than six times the same number Of or
binary individuals.

Roughage.
Timothy hay is a popular roughage
for horses. Bronze grass makes good
hay which Is equal to timothy hay in
feeding value. Orchard grass, if cut
in early bloom, is equal to the best of
the hay grasses, and carries consid-
erably more crude protein than tim
othy. Meadow fescue is not so valu-
able as timothy for horses. Sudan
grass hay is a safe feed for mares, and
numerous native prairie grasses fur
nish hay that is equal to, timothy.
Glover hay is likely to be dusty, but
it has great fattening qualities. Millet
Is not a safe feed for mares in foal.
Corn fodder frequently Is used to feed
idle horses in the winter, but there
is not enough nutrition in 1t alone for
mares in foal. The same thing is true
in greater degree Of straw. If either
Is fed, good quality hay also should
be fed. Unthreshed cowpeas or soy
bean hay is also a valuable, roughage
which is relished by horses. Even the
threshed hay contains considerable
nutrition. 1t should not be fed to
brood mares If It contains any mold.
Alfalfa hay makes an excellent feed
for mares If it is fed once a day and
timothy or corn fodder given at the
other feeding. Occasionally alfalfa hay
is not properly cured, causing it to
mold badly, in which case it should
not be fed to the horses. Farmers
have reported occasionally that alfalfa
causes the kidneys to act too freely,
but it is likely that this trouble will
not be noticed If the alfalfa does not
make up over one-half Of the rough
age.
Succulence.
Succulent feeds are those which are
juicy, and are easily assimilated. Such
feeds have a cooling, laxative effect on
the digestive system and stimulate ap-
petite. The most common succulent
feeds on farms are grass, carrots, rut-
abagas, sugar beets and silage. Grass,
although of a succulent nature, is gen.
orally used as the entire ration
through the summer If the mares are
idle.
