PROFIT IN SHETLANDS
Increasing Demand for Sturdy
Little Fellows.
Smallest Animals Bring Best Prlco,
Consequently No Effort Should
Be Made to Increase Size-Take
Care Of Themselves.

There is noticeable an Increasing de-
mand for Shetland ponies and the rris-
ing of the little fellows proves exceed
ingly profitable. The smallest animals
bring the best prices, consequently no
effort should be made to increase the
size of the breed; the animals should
not be too tenderly cared for, should
not be housed too tight or fed very

TEACHING THE COLT TO EAT
Young Animal Should Be Encouraged
to NibbIe at Crushed Oats and
Bran IN Equal Parts.

Encourage the colt to eat early, pre-
fcrably feeding crushed oats and bran
in equal parts. Let him have alfalfa
and clover hay as soon as he will eat
1t.
Experience shows that ration of
corn and alfalfa gives better results
than ration Of corn and timothy or
prairie hay.

of the CHIEF safeguards for munitions

Transportation Problem.
"You can judge for yourself how
1t "a in the case of young girl who
has to travel off across the country
to work in a factory where she is
unknown, who must work and eat
and sleep with strangers all laboring
as she is under tremendous strain and
pressure. In the case of a woman
with a family the situation is still
more involved. Housing in the great
industrial centers is growing a more
serious problem every day and II Is
practically impossible for a working
woman to move her children. Every
family is docketed and rauoned In
certain foods and a move means end
less complications. Railroad trans
portation is now beyond the means OF
any but the rich.
"In the most modern factories, all
controlled by the government, condi-
tions of work are being improved
every day. The Introduction of can
teens where factory women can OBJ
tain the best of food at cost price.
has been a splendid innovation, but
these canteens are run by voluntary
workers and will disappear after the
war. So instead of looking upon the
working women as the one : class
which is deriving benefit from the
war you will have to admit that they
stand shoulder TO shoulder with their
men who are fighting at the front.
They cannot save any Of the money
they are making and they are de-
prived OF their children and home life
equally with the men. They are not
Independent in any sense"
How about the welfare side of it?"
l asked hestatingly.
"Of course it's all wrong. Working
women mistrust any person who med
dies with their private affairs and
still more IL the person is in the en-
ploy of the firm. / would abolish
the whole welfare system and substi-
tute government factory inspectors.
THE one lasting benefit of this war
to women is that it is teaching them
the advantages of cooperation. They
are learning from men how to work
together and they are beginning to
realize that whether they profit by the
present experience, or allow them
selves to be exploited as In the past.

Fixed the Verdict.

One Of the shortest summings up
on record is believed to be that de-
livered by the late Commissioner Kerr
at the Old Bailey In a case where a
man was charged with being in the
unlawful possession of a gold watch
and chain.
The appearance OF the prisoner GER
tainly did not correspond with the
legitimate possession of such costly
cence of the charge, and declared that
ne had found the watch and chain on
the pavement.
The Judge looked at the man in the
dock and then at the men in the box.
Gentlemen OF the jury" he said.
81 have walked over the pavements Of
London during the last forty years,
and I've never found gold watch
md chain there yet. Consider your
verdict"
And the verdict was Guilty"
