hensive draft in tn United States Con-
gress. introduced by Meyer London, So
cialist member, of New York.
The most common form existing in
the United. States, and which has been
dealt with in legislative way and
enacted in something like two-thirds
of the states are the workmen's Com
pensation laws.
There are certain forms existing in
this community and which have origi-
mated here entirely. and are the ''sus-
pension" or compensation funds and in
their essence constitute unemployment
insurance and pay for loss of posi-
ton.
Economic Question
Social insurance is regarded by many
students of the subject as one of the
most important social and economic
questions before the world. and the
division, of humanity that is now re-
naming unprotected, enduring oppres-
sion, poverty and privation, makes fast
the approach of State to grant relief,
its advocates assert.
Actual statistics collected by the Ger
man Government indicate that there
was an increase in the average of
longevity of the males in the thirty
year period preceding 1900 equivalent
to twelve years to the life of each,
and marked Improvement in the ply
sical strength and ability, which mas
made for one of the most efficient ma
tions of workmen in the world.
The question of garbage disposal is
being thoroughly considered by the
Forum, through several authoritative
sources, and unless some action is taken
by the city to relieve the stress. a
public mass meeting will be called,
wherein definite and authoritative pro-
posals will be submitted and demands
will be made for the council to act.
The question of food prices will also
come up which now seriously affect
most of all. the worsers. The meeting
will be held at Whites Hall, Verbeke
and James streets.

EVE CARE AT LANDING TIME
Most Common Complaint Is That AMI
mails Walk With Unsteady Gait
Cause and Treatment.

A large number OF inquiries cons
corning the care of ewes at lamblng
time have been received by the Univer-
lty of Missouri College of Agriculture.
The most common complaint is that
"the ewes heavy with lamb walk with
a weak unsteady gait and later get
down and seem to be paralyzed In
their hind legs" In most cases where
these symptoms have occurred the
ewes have come into lambing season
in a rundown condition.
In May cases too much corn, corn
slower, corn sllage, timothy hay, oat
straw or similar feeds have been fed.
Such feeds do not contain sufficient
raw material for the mother to build
up muscle, bone and blood. Alfalfa
hay, linseed oil and bran must be fed.
Breeding ewes that are in strong,
thrifty condition in the fall can be car
ried up to lambing season on good
alfalfa, cowpea or clover hay. How
ever, about month before lambing 1t
is advisable to feed about one-half
pound of grain per head per day.

ward Increasing Agricultural
Production OF Country.

Westinghouse only few weeks
remain in which to prepare the soil
and plant crops for the coming season
the government is calling upon all
the people to assist by local organiza-
ton In every way possible to increase
the acreage and intensity production.
The garden movement which is all
ready well under way will undoubted-
ly help out the situation, but the ce-
real condition is very bad.
Local committees to handle the vari-
GUS problems connected with the cam
paign should be appointed to work
along the following lines:
To confer with the national and
state bank for the purpose of work
ing out plan for rediscounting farm
ers' loans upon growing crops In or
der to give the farmers capital to put
in the maximum acreage.
To consider the problem of enlist
ing volunteers in cities and elsewhere
to undertake farm work temporarily
until the crop Is in the ground. This
plan includes the employment of men
at the regular wages paid in the indus
tries. Volunteers can do a patriotic
service by registering for duty for a
week or two now and week or two
at harvest.
Placing the power Of the community
at the service of the farmer by work
ing every tractor day and night until
the acreage is prepared for planting.
Placing the best available seeds at
the disposal of the farmer.

SORE SHOULDERS OF HORSES
Animal Should Be Given Frequent
Breathing Spells When First
Started at Hard Work.

When the soft horse Is started at,
heavy work, the shoulders should be
given a good deal Of care. The horse
win need frequent breathing spells
and at these times lift the collar so
as to give the shoulder a chance to
cool and to dry. When 1t becomes
moist from sweat 1t will become sore
much quicker than If dry. The coll
lar should be kept smooth. If any In
crustations form on it, scrape them
off. Care should be used in making
sure that the horse has the collar that
is fitted to its shoulders. A misfit coli
lar is apt to lead to shoulder trouble.
When starting the horse at hard work.
watch its shoulders and neck too.

parts bran and one part oil cake by
weight has proved successful. A double
handful Of this ration will average
about one-half pound. After lamblng
it win be necessary to increase the
feed to one pound of grain up to the
time pasture is available.
Some native ewes are troubled with
''nodular disease" This disease is due
to small worms lodging in the tissues
of the intestines, and small tumor-
like mass is formed around them. So
far as is known the. trouble caused
by this worm is due to the decreased
area of digestion. The only known
remedy is liberal feeding.
The Missouri College of Agriculture
will be glad to answer any further
inquiries.

PIG FEEDS AFTER WEAVING
Separate Bears and scws and Aim for
Growth, Bone and Muscle Do
Better Without Fat.

When the pigs are weaned and do
ing well, separate the bears and sows
as soon as possible, for too many pigs
in one lot do not do so well as when
they are divided into several different
lots. Then feed for growth, bone and
muscle; the finishing touches can be
put on the last month or SO before
the sale.
If a pig is grown without very much
fat, he will, nine times out of ten, be
a better hog on his feet, for if a pig
is loaded down with fat and his pas
