CARE OF BROOD MARE is
lMpORTANT

BY J. H. Mcleod, Livestock Special.
ist, Extension Division, Univer- :. .
sity of Arkansas.
Il Is estimated that only 60 pei
cent Of brood mares bred each year
produce living colts. A great part OF
this loss can be overcome by proper
feed, care and management.
/. Better to work mare more while
in foal than to allow her to stand idle.
2. Good Judgment, however. should
DO used in kind Of work she is call
ed up to do. She should not be allow
ed to pull too heavy loads or to back
heavy loads and all other exertions
such a. wading through deep mud and
the like.
{ Keep the mares bowels loose
BY feeding such feeds as bran or green
feeds.
4. Do not feed cotton seed meal to
brood mares.
: s. Avoid all feeds that contain
dust, mold or decay.
, 6. Give the mare plenty Of fresh,
clear water.
z. Allow her the run of pasture
while not at work
s. TO avoid navel disease It Is
best to allow mare to drop foal In
pasture provided there are NO ether
stock to disturb her. :

ABANDON FOOD PREJUDlcEs
by Ruth A. Peck, Head of Department
of Home Economics, Univer-
sity of Arkansas.

Don't Be Finicky. Be willing to try
new foods. Certain plentiful and
nourishing foods widely used and en-
joyed in one section are practically
unknown in other sections of the
country. Learn to know all the good
things; not few only.
People too easily get into food ruts
insist on eating only the food they
are used to and refuse to give a fair
trial to others This causes undue
demand for certain staples. with re-
sulting scarcity or high prices when
crops are short. At the same time
other valuable foods may be relative
ly cheap and available.
Cook Food Properly: Learn how
10 cook all kinds Of staple foods and
to servo them In a variety Of ways.
Simple dishes we'll prepared are bet
ter than expensive foods badly cook.
ed. Many persons are prejudiced
against certain good foods because,
when first tried, the foods were i'm
properly cooked or prepared. Remove
from your vocabulary don't like" or
"can't eat" Most individual preju-
dices against widely popular foods are
either imaginary or baseless. Try 10
like every simple food; give It q fair
trial

Washington.-The food admir- istra-

that the government is prepared to
take over the whole 1917 wheat har.

ply, obtain just prices for Americas

duce costs to the general public In
the United States.
Establishing OF buying agencies at
all the principal terminals. licensing
OF elevators and mills, fixing OF

ton OF the middle men and OF grain
exchanges, with the elimination OF
trading In futures, are the chief fea.
lures OF the plan.
The minimum price OF 81 for wheat
fixed by Congress does not become
effective until next year but the ad.
mlnistration proposes to exercise a
very thorough control over the years
crop through power conferred under
the food and export control bills.
The announcement follows:
THE disturbance to the worlds
commerce and supplies has caused a
greater disruption OF the normal mar.
kets for wheat than any other cereal.
"l-As a resolution OF certain OF
the worlds wheat producing coun-
tries. by either belngerent lines or
short shipping, the normal determine.
ton OF the price OF wheat by the ebb
and flow OF commerce is totally de-
stroyed.
"2-In order to control specula-
ton and TO secure more equitable
distribution OF the available wheat
and -four between their countries, the
allied governments have placed the
whole purchase OF their supplies in
the hands OF one buyer. Also the
European neutrals are now buying
their wheat through single govern.
ment agents instead OF in the nor.
NAL course OF commerce. Therefore.
the export price OF wheat and -four.
and thus the real price. II not con.
trolled will be subject to almost q
single will OF the foreign purchaser.

wheat moves largely 10 Europe In the

"4-There are large stocks OF wheat
which cannot be drawn upon by the
allies during the war. but in the
event OF peace or defeat OF the sub.
marines these would be available and
might seriously demoralize the de-
mand for American wheat.
SIT must be clearly understood
that the guaranteed minimum price OF
81 per bushel for wheat, set out IN
the food bill, does not apply to the
1917 harvest but only 10 the 1918
harvest and then under conditions
which must be elaborated. There Is.
therefore. no determined price for
the 1917 harvest.
