necessary If much flesh is to be put

The capons must be kept growing

reasonably large range.

trouble from the lice. If the hogs

20 per cent.
Large amounts of roughage, such
as corn fodder, cane. and straw, which
might otherwise be wasted, may be
utilized when alfalfa hay is fed, for
the richness of the alfalfa causes n
craving for other roughages."

The efficiency of the farm horse
next spring and summer will depend
largely upon the feed and care it re-
ceives this winter, asserts DIR. G. w.
McCampbell, associate professor of
animal husbandry in the agricultural
college.
Despite the fact that feeds are
high in price, the farm horse must be
well fed during the coming winter
months" said Doctor McCampbell. "a
study of market prices reveals the fact
that bran and alfalfa hay are two of
the cheapest feeds available when
feeding value is considered. Both are
well adapted to winter feeding because
of the lighter work of the farm horse
during the winter season, and because
of the cooler weather. This being true,
both should enter largely in the farm
horse ration this winter.
Use Much Roushase.
"At present prices a combination of
6 parts of corn and 4 parts of
bran is 20 cents hundredweight

KNITTERS GET NEW
 DISEASE CALLED "PICS''

"Knitter's Face" is spreading among San Francisco women with alarming rapidity. The stress of wartime con- ditions has operated to cause a virtu- al epidemic of a malady which few months ago, manifested itself with ex- treme rarity.
 Knitter's Face or "Pics," as it is of ten known, is marked in the earlier stages, say local physicians, by con- stantly moving of the lips as in count ing, and quick movement of the fin gers, as if the victim were busily en- gagged in un-raveling threads from a piece of cloth. Later the sufferer falls into a deep state of seeming concen- tration and accompanying absent mindedness. Her face becomes set in stern lines, with the mouth drawn and eyes narrowed as tho in physical tor ture.
 Dr. Otto G. Freyermouth, San Fran cisco specialist, yesterday stated that the disease is a purely nervous disor- der, but contagious to marked de- gree among women mentally predis- posed to it. He voiced the opinion that worry over the war undoubtedly was the chief factor in causing the present prevalence of the malady. - San Francisco Examiner.
