animals In WAR
Horses, Dogs and Pigeons Have
Played Important Part.
Even the Elephant and the Sea Gull
Figure in Events of an Unusual
Nature on Land and Water.

When the historian writes the story
of the world war he will devote several
chapters to the work of animals and
birds, for they have played their part
in it, and well. Dogs, horses, carrier
pigeons were mObilized early and even
use has been found for elephants
the work of heavy hauling.
Two stories of an unusual sort tell
how an angry elephant butted into a
skirmish and made both sides retreat,
stopping the fighting for a time, and
how sea gulls saved a British cruiser
with 800 men on board from a German
submarine.
The scene of the elephant story was
in West Africa. A skirmish had been
going on for some time when suddenly
out of the jungle came an angry ele-
phant between the two contending
parties. The elephant charged one
side, then the other. The soldiers on
both sides retreated to await a more
favorable opportunity to resume the
fight.
The British cruiser which was saved
d
on its course when a bluejacket called
the attention of the officer on duty to
commotion among the sea gulls not
far away. When the sea gulls arose a
periscope was seen; a moment later a
zigzag course took the warship out Of
danger.

bulance corps, as dispatch carriers, on
patrol duty at far-advanced outpoSts,
| as drawers of quick-fring guns and
as aids in taking their masters fam
lilies out of the line of invasion and
into places of refuge.
In their devotion to duty thousands
upon thousands of dogs have given up
their lives. Some day, some time,
somewhere, somebody will erect a
monument to the memory of the great
work they did in the war.
Although the modern general goes to
war in an auto, horses still play a tre-
nrendous part in the war. How great
has been the wastage of horse flesh is
told in brief report of the British
war Office, which mentioned that the
life of a war horse in the first year
of the war was ten days. In the sec
ond year of the war the mortality was
reduced somewhat.
So far as statistics can be gathered
the first six months of the war called
for the following numbers of horses
by the various nations: Germany,
for complete mobilization of the
army, 100000; French cavalry, 25000C
(1gures for the other branches of the
service not available) for the British
army, 100000; Austria, 250,000 an6
Russia because, of her lack of railways
100000.

reputation in the Franco-Prussian an(

Preserve the NitamInes.

The use Of bicarbonate Of sodium in
the manufacture Of bread is deleteri-
GUS, because on baking it is converted
into the carbonate which tends to de-
stroy the vitamines. The effect of
this is obviated by adding such acid
substances as buttermilk or cream of
tartar. Because the vitamines are so
important the growing and importation
of vegetables and acid fruits should be
encouraged.

How Did He2

The absent-minded professor from
the university town was in Indianapo-
lis over Saturday, attending a conven-
ton. While, here he took tour Of
the larger department stores. In one
of them he was much perplexed.
He read the sign over the door OF
the elevator:
"This car express to fifth and sixth
floors. Up only"
Absently he read the sign again.
Then the car door opened.
81 would like to know" he asked
the elevator boy, ''if this elevator goes
only up how on earth did you get
down here?"
The elevator boy grinned, frowned,
scrutinized the man closely and then
said in dignifed voice: "Oh. just

The hen is one of the most important
adjuncts Of the average farm. The open
spaces OF the country afford her the on
portunity she needs to secure variety
OF food, and IL she is properly housed
and protected and fed a .suitable ration.
she will repay her owner a handsome
profit. which will certainly be true as
long as the present high prices for
poultry and eggs continue. As a matter
OF fact. there is a greater disposition
on the part of the average urban resi-
dent to use poultry and eggs than ever
before. and il is evident that ii will not
be possible to crafty his wish in this
direction unless poultry husbandry Is
engaged In on a more extensive scale
The hen is fond Of a variety of grains
and grasses and mineral matter. She
appreciates an opportunity TO Craze on
such crops as any of the winter cereals
or clovers provide In the absence of
green feed. particularly In the winter
season. she will not produce anything
like the maximum number of eggs which,
she IS capable OF laying. Anyone who
has studied the needs of farm poultry
must realize that protein in some form
is essential This is an element con-
cerned primarily with the production Of
nerves. muscles and tissues. Eggs con-
tain a large amount OF protein me
hen must secure this element from some
satisfactory source or her productivity
will be greatly lessened. In fact, it is
the failure to provide the proper feeds
I'm sufficient quantity that accounts for
the farmer securing so few eggs I'm the
fall and winter.
One Of the sources of protein which
has been depended on largely in the
past are certain by-products obtained
from packing houses, such as CONNER
cial beef scraps. for instance. This is a
very satisfactory form in which to OBJ
tain the needed protein. Unfortunately.
however. many farmers I'm the south. and
especially those living in the vicinity
of small towns cannot secure this mate
rial. Moreover. the cost of protein from
such sources has steadily increased until
the use Of materials of this character
has I'm many Instances become almost
prohibitive: hence, the desirability of Sc
curing protein from some more gener-
ally abundant and less costly source be-
comes self-evident. To this end atten-
ton has been called on various occasions
to the possibilities OF cotton seed meal,
and all the Investigations directed along
this fine indicate that il should be far
more extensively used than is now the

SEEDING SUDAN GRASS ON BOTTOM

Sudan grass may be cultivated with
considerable success in Georgia. We do
not consider it superior in merit to many
other crops which may be grown. You
might. of course, broadcast it or SOW ii
in drills According to our experience
the latter is the best method of plant
ing to follow This grass very much
appearance and method of growth eX-
cept that it does not possess a stoloHi-
ferrous root stalk and. therefore, is very
easy to control and eradicate from the
land. Naturally it is an annual grass
resembles the Johnson grass in general
and must be reseeded every year.
When planted in drills sow in three
feet rows. 1t should not be seeded un-
til the ground is warm enough to insure
it's rapid termination. 1t will grow to
a height of from four to seven feet.
depending on the richness of the land.
1t should be cut when coming into bloom.
When handled in this way 1t will pro-
duce more freely than IL allowed TO
head out. 1t takes about fifteen or
twenty pounds of seed to plant an acre
broadcast. and about three to six pounds
when planted in drills.

cal markets make upon us; yet We can
grow all of the green feeds needed and
we have the basic materials out of
which to prepare the choicest dry
mashes. Certainly, we should utilize
cotton seed meal in some such proper

ply our hens with the protein they re-
quire out of a homegrown food
stuff. thereby lessening the cost of the
ration and increasing the profits from
the maintenance of poultry.
PLANT FOOD CONTAINED IN WOOD
ASHES.
]. H. g.. Macon Ca, writes: Would
lot of ashes burned from poplar slabs be
worth hauling two miles after having two
pretty hard rains on them? What should
they be mixed with to make good fer
tlier for cotton and truck crops? What
foodstuffs and in what quantities should
feed cow TO increase the flow of milk
the following feeds being available: Bran,
shorts, corn meal, velvet bean meal, cotton
seed meal and beet pulp.
The chances are that there would
hardly be enough plant food in ashes,
handled in the manner described by you,
to Justify your hauling them two miles
At the most ashes contain only to o
per cent of potash The potash is in
a very soluble form. hence it is Veadily
leached out by heavy rains, Naturally,
if these ashes have been exposed to
washing a good deal of the available
potash has been carried away in the
drainage water.
1t would not be advisable to mix ashes
with cotton seed meal or acid phosphate,
but rather they should be applied sep
arately. Broadcast them over the LAM
at the rate of 1000 to 1900 pounds per
acre and harrow in.
One of the best formulas to use for
the crops mentioned in your letter would
be a mixture of equal parts of cotton
seed meal and acid phosphate. You may
substitute any other carrier of nitrogen
for the cotton seed meal which will
supply plant food at the same relative
cost The above formula should be used
at the rate of 800 to 1000 pounds. The
smaller amount will answer for field
crops and the larger amount should be
used for truck crops.
OF the foods mentioned in your let
ter the best to feed a dairy COW would
be cotton seed meal. Give at the rate
of four pounds per day to COW weigh
ing ! 1000 pounds. If she weighs less
cut the ration down. If she weighs
more increase it in proper proportion
to the weight You should feed with
this cotton seed meal an abundance of
roughage consisting Of shredded corn
slower, mixed hay. cowpea hay, alfalfa,
or any other long fodder you can OBJ
tain which carries a considerable amount
of digestible protein. 1t is best general
" to run long folders through a cut
ting box and moisten with water con-
tanning a little salt before feeding. Pro-
vide your COW with as much green feed
as possible and give the ration as much
variety you can.
