Corn and Oats for Work Horses.

Contrary to popular opinion that
horses fed oats have more life. keep

than horses given n grain ration con
sisting largely or exclusively OF corn.
an experiment conducted for As weeks
at the Ohio Experiment Station with
work horses showed that oats are not
superior in efficiency to corn. Econ.
omy in feeding is geneally in favor
OF corn.
Three teams OF mature geldings
were used one horse in each team be-
ing fed oats and the other an equal
weight of ear corn in connection with
mixed clover and timothy hay. There
was practically no difference in the
changes In weight during the year
between the two lots. No difference
due to the feeds used was observed
In the spirit and endurance OF the
horses.
The cost of feeding the corn-fed
horses, with corn at so cents n bushel.

say that corn may be substituted for
oats for work horses with material

We have urged for years that the
dairy farmer provide corn silage for
his herd. II is bulky and succulent
and corn is a most valuable feed for
cows. No hay supplements corn silage
better than alfalfa. What the corn
silage lacks in protein and other sub
stances. such as mineral matter and
vitamines. the alfalfa supplies. II al
falfa is not TT hand, red clover hay or
some other legume nay should be sup

variety of ground feed be fed. Such

better results than others even though
these other feeds be equal in compost

For instance. when gluten feed is fed
with clover hay It is equal. pound for

richer feed. There is something in
clover hay that supplies what the
gluten feed lacks.

Dr. Griffith purchased two very fine

boar and gilt were also purchased by
Mr.. Solomon at the same time. This
is the second pure bred hog sale held

increase the profit in hog raising in
the future. This makes seven good

first OF the year.
We are fast realizing that there Is

animal all she will eat and that supply

of the feeders duty. The COW requires
protein to sustain her body and to
make the casein OF her milk, and
carbohydrates and fat to keep the
body warm and to provide materials
for making milk. She needs other
things. too. Professor T.. b. Hart has
shown that mineral matter is essential

substances in feeds which are called
vitamines. Vitamines are sort of
magic substances found in all plants.
Each plant produces Its own sort.
Animals need vitamines OF various
kinds for growth and proper develop

COW does not manufacture vitamines
but collects them from the feeds she

MAY DECLARE ON AUSTRIA
Attack on American Steamer Schyl-
kill May Force Issue.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Investiga
ton regarding the nationality of the
submarine that sank the American
steamer Schuylkill made by the state
department have developed that the
periscOpe was marked black and
white with a spiral design. Data in
possession of the government does
no reveal whether this indicates an
Austrian vessel.
The state department is continuing
its inquiry through consular officers
at Mediterranean ports and should it
be established hat the Schuylkill
was sunk by an Austrian submarine
the state department, it was said,
would have in its possession the es-
sential factors upon which to ask con-
gross for an expression of its will re-
garding the further maintenance Of
peaceful relations with Austria.
Americans lost their lives on the
Italian liner AncOna, destroyed in tn
Mediterranean, and the American
tanker Petrolite also was attacked
there.

RAIL EMBARGO ON LIQUOR
Anti-Saloon League Seeks War Order
From Priority Board.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The Anti
Saloon league leaders are trying a
new tack in their campaign against
booze.
The latest development is an effort
TO ecure a ruling from the priority
board, of which Judge Robert S. Low
EFT is chairman. that would forbid the
use Of railroad ears in transporting
intoxicating liquor. as a war measure.
This would be a ~far-reaching and
drastic blow at the liquor traffic, but
there is no doubt. experts say, that
the priority board has the power to
make such a ruling. if it sees fit. The
theory upon which it is asked is that
the rolling stock is needed for war
uses and should not be employed in
transporting intoxicating liquors.
since no benefit to the war could come
from such traffic.

ASK SERVICE FLAG ROYALTY
Owner Of Patent Demands Profit For
Privilege of Sales.

Cleveland, o., Nov. 27.-Flag man
ufacturers in Cleveland and other
cities are resisting payment of a 10
per cent royalty claimed by the Uni
ted Service Flag Company of Cleve-
land on all service flags. The flag
was designed by Robert l.. Queisser,
formerly captain in the Ohio national
guard. It's design was patented by
Mr.. Queisser, through a Cleveland
agent, Nov. 6. The company was in
corporated a few weeks ago.
The manufacturers question the
right of patent as the design and de-
clare that patent attorneys in Wash
ington and Cleveland have advised
them to ignore the claim for the
present.
1t is estimated that the patent
rights. on the basis of a 10 per cent
royalty. would net the company a
profit of approximately $1,000 a day.

COLD BOOSTS COAL DEMAND
Indiana Requirements Now on the

Indianapolis. Nov. 27.-An increase

SO far been received from various
counties. This is more than fifty
cars over the high mark of last week,
and orders for more than a hundred
additional cars are expected in the
next two days.
Allen county led the list with a de-
mand for III cars. This great amount
will not be sem to FIT. Wayne, Off
Gals at the state house said, because
other counties in the state would have
to go without fuel if this entire de-
mand were met. Other counties ask
ing for large shipments were How

LOCK WATCHMEN IN SAFE
~Cracksmen Get More Than $4,000
From Cleveland Store.

Cleveland, o., Nov. 27.-Three
night watchmen were found bound
and gagged in the vault at the Hig-
bee Company's big department store,
where they had been locked by four
safe blowers who had broken into
the strong box and escaped with a
rich haul. According to statements
made by officials of the company the
safe blowers got between $1,000 and
$4,000 in money and stole $4,000
worth of merchandise.
The watchmen, when released,
were almost suffocated. but were re-
vived. They said the cracksmen
gained entrance TO the building by
posing as United States secret serv-
ice men looking for German spies.
The big safe was wrecked by nitro

U. S. FARMER GETS MORE
Has Bigger Share In Bread Price,
Following Federal Control.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Stabiliza-
ton of bread production by govern
ment supervision extending from the
wheat field to the bakery, with a
consequent elimination of boarding
and speculation, makes it possible
for the farmer to receive 40 per cent
of the price paid for the loaf of bread,
the food administration announced.
1t was pointed out that last year the
farmers returns represented less
than 20 per cent of the selling price
Of bread.
Federal. control of the production
has had q decidedly stabilizing in
iuence on all branches of the in
dustry with the result, according to
the food experts, that a marked de-
crease in bread prices has been eff
fected recently in many cities.
