GRINDING FEED FOR HORSES
Improbable That 1t Pays Except Where
Animals Are at Hard Work or
Have Poor Teeth.

Answering the query as to whether
it pays to grind oats or corn for horses
and which would give best results
Prof. B. e. Carmichael of the Ohio ex-
pertinent station makes the following
reply:
1T is improbable that grinding
either corn or oats for horses will pay
excepting in cases where the horses
are at very hard work or have poor
teeth. Even in instances of this kind
it is not at all certain that profit will
always result from this rather expen-
sfve operation. Soaking corn that is
exceedingly dry and hard is advisable.
AS general thing it seems that it is
safe to regard ear corn and oats, both
of good quality, approximately equal
in feeding value per pound for horses.
IF there is tendency to swallow
the feed without thoroughly chewing,
It would be worth while to devise a
method Of feeding that would render
it impossible for the feed to be eaten
SO rapidly. Mixing small amount OF
bran or chaffed hay with the grain
might be OF assistance, or the same
result might be accomplished by putt
ting large pebbles in the feed box. It
is well to determine whether the teeth
are in good condition, whenever there
is evidence that the feed is poorly
masticated.

WlND-PRooF STOCK SHELTE
1t Should Be Made Strong Enough to-
Withstand Any Wind-Set End
Posts in Cement.

In constructing a stock shelter in
an open field particular care should
be taken to make it substantial
enough to withstand any wind short
of a tornado. A little foresight in
this regard may save the loss of valu-
able animals at some later time. To
this end the posts should be firmly
set, preferably in cement, and the
upper framework should be snuglY
bolted or spiked together.
If the three inclosed sides are come
posed of loose boards, set on end at
an angle of As degrees and banked in
place with straw, about the worst a
heavy wind could accomplish would
be to 'blow out" the sides. Little
damage to stock would be likely to-
occur in such an event.
A shelter of this kind, with it's top
as well as its sides heavily straw-cov-
cred will for all practical purposes be
as permanent as though it's sides had
been nailed firmly in place. With it's
open side toward the south it will
prove weather-proof, warm and quite
adaptable to creature comfort.

5000, 100000 FOR WAR
U. S. Will Loan Allies TWO Billion
Dollars to Carry on Conflict
Gompers Pledges No Strikes.

Washington, April 1O.-The Drawn Of
the United States, more important
even than its financial and physical re-
sources, was unqualifedly pledged to
the support of the government.
There will be no labor troubles,
such as have harassed the belligerent
nations of Europe, In the United
States during the war. If necessary,
all laws limiting hours and working
conditions of employment may be
suspended for any period.
At the joint meeting of the coun-
Gil of national reference and it's adj
visory commission, Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, and member of the COM
mission, made the pledge in behalf of
organized labor.
The $5,OOO,O00,OOO bond issue,
agreed upon Saturday, is but single
step in the war budget. 1t has been
decided that this shall be popular
loan and draw or 31a per cent. The
special committee will aid in floating
this issue.
Two or three billions Of this money
will go to the entente.
A vast sum, nearly $3,00O,O 100000 in
addition to the $5,O00,O00,O0O provided
for by the bond issue, is part of the
present war budget, and will be raised
by taxation.

i-euton Lines crumpIed in Gigantic At
tack on f2-Mlle Front-Tanks
Share in Victory-Capture
$500 Of the Enemy.

London, April 1.-THE war on the
western front, which has been moving
more rapidly in the last five weeks,
has broken into full swing.
Widening the attacks that they have
been making in the sector OF the
Somme, the British struck farther
north, and in series of assaults on
12-mile front, with Arras as the pivotal
point, they drove the Germans from
scores of important positions, pene-
trated far into the German lines, and
inflicted heavy casualties.
At two o'clock in the afternoon more
than $500 prisoners were in the barbed
wire "cages" or compounds. Many
others were coming back through the
fighting lines.
In all IL towns and villages were
captured.
The heaviest fighting developed
along line few miles southeast OF
Arras, in northerly direction, to the
neighborhood Of Lens, but the actions
extended far in the direction of st.
Quentin.
In the territory captured was the fa-
nous Vimy ridge, which had been
fought for time and time again ever
since the war was ten months old.
The French had fought valiantly in an
endeavor to wrest this vantage ground
from the Germans, the battles costing
both belligerents untold casualties.
Back of the northernsend Of Vimy
ridge lie the principal coal fields of
France, which are still in German
hands.
The fighting on Vimy ridge was car
ried out by the Canadians, who had
retained footing on the ridge all win
ter, but always higher up was the enc
my. On either side of the Canadians
were English and Scottish battalions,
and in today's battle there was glory
enough for all.
The irrepressible tanks also
shared in the honors of the successful
assault.
One position captured to the north
east of Arras was sort of labyrinth
Of trenches enmeshed in multiple
bands Of wire, called "the Harp" be-
cause of its shape. Prisoners had pro-
claimed this point practically unassail-
able, but, sweeping over it today, the
British took within it nearly a thou
sand prisoners, and they captured also
during the day three German battalion
commanders, who compare in rank
with colonel in the British army.
The Canadians took 1000 prisoners.

said Mr.. Gatewood. charcoal is best
fed from the hopper or self-feeder, so
as to prevent waste.
'It is a common practice to burn
cobs until the cob is well charred,
and then the fire is smothered and the
hogs are given access to this. Some
people char their cobs in pit, and
when the fire has gained good head
way, the top of the pit is covered with
a piece of sheet metal, and then COW
cred with dirt to keep out the air. The
charcoal can then be used as it is
needed. 1t is advisable to add salt to,
the charcoal as it makes it more PAL
atable, and is also especially good for
the hogs"
