FROZEN COMBS.
Treatment For Fowls That Have OUT.
fsrSd From Frostblts.

fsrSd From FrostbltS.
Frozen or frosted combs and wat
ties are common at this season, wheth.
or you house your birds In closed
buildings or those with open fronts.
Usually the birds In tho closed houses
get tho worst OF It, says tho Iowa
Homestead,
Freezing Of the headgear Is largely
a matter Of poor condition OF the bird
and dampneas with sudden changes In
temperature, Now and then a healthy,
vigorous specimen In good order will
get frostbite from undue exposure, e.
pecially to freezing winds, but gener-
ally there will be no severe frostbite
under ordinary circumstances unless
the bird Is out OF condition from indi-
gestion, faulty nutrition, too much
handling etc,
Exposure to severe cold winds when
headgear Is wet with drinking water
Is a common cause of freezing, For
treatment, thaw out the frosted parts
by rubbing with cold petrolatum; then
apply Il mixture of one ounce Of sweet
oil with ono teaspoonful Of spirits Of
turpentlne, Apply daily,
DO not take the bird into warm
room, Warmth will cause trouble.

bran in connection with oats and corn.
The present high price Of mill feeds,
however, has led many feeders to re-
ject bran. There is no reason why
wheat bran should not be rejected in
the ration if oilmeal is given In the
amount recommended, said DR.. Hav-
ner. Although oilmeal costs more per
100 pounds than wheat bran, the cost
of a pound of protein in oilmeal is
much cheaper.
There is a tendency to feed horses
too much hay. During the winter
brood mares may be fed from one to
one and fourth pounds Of hay per 100
pounds live weight daily. If clean
clover or alfalfa hay is used only one
pound per 100 pounds live weight daily
is necessary.
A combination of the grain and hay
ration recommended assures a strong
colt and a good milk flow at foaling.

FEEDING BROOD MARES
DUE TO FOAL IN SPRING

Mares due to foal during the spring
months need nourlshing winter ra-
tlon. A rapid development Of the young
colt Is essential If healthy yearling or
two-year-old is desired
Proper feeding of the brood mare
during pregnancy determines In n large
measure the strength Of the colt at
birth. A grain ration Of three parts
oats and one part corn by weight
serves very well. If timothy or mixed
hay Is fed as roughage a handful Of
ollmcal should be given at each feed
The digestive tract will be kept in bet
ter condition, and the hair coat will be
much slceker If olmcal IS used. OIL
meal is unnecessary when clean clover
or alfalfa hay is fed.

NATION NEEDS FARMERS AID.
State Grange Master Cady Tells
of Meeting in Boston.

The New England Federation for
Rural Progress held meeting last Sat-
urday in the Boston Chamber of Com
merce building and formulated plans
to bring about the best cooperation
among the New England states in
mobilizing their agricultural resources
in preparation for actual war.
The New England Federation of
Rural Progress includes all the rural
organizations throughout the New
England states. All the states were
represented Willis N. Cady of Middle
buro, State Grange Master, was the
delegate appointed by former Governor
Charles w. Gates to represent Vermont
Among the speakers who addressed
the convention were Carl Vrooman,
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
and DR.. Kenyon l.. Butterfeld, Presi-
dent of Massachusetts Agricultural
college. The gist of their advice to the
farmers was to leave nothing undone to
utilize every moment of the present in
getting farm implements in condition
for work, to get animals in the best
shape for the hardest kind of labor so
that no time need be lost when the time
comes to use them and to systematic
the planting and growing of crops.

Dairy Cow Efficiency.

With a good dairy COW the overhead
charges are less in proportion to the
work done than with a poor one, says
c. II. Eckles, dairy husbandry depart
ment, University of Missouri.
With a COW producing $50 pounds Of
fat year more than half she consumes
Is used to maintain the body, The COW
that makes 400 pounds of fat year
uses the same amount Of feed to main
tain her body, but it is only about 80
per cent of her total feed consumption.
The remaining 65 per cent is used di-
rectly for milk making; hence a much
larger proportion of her total ration Is
available for milk production, and the
feed cost of a pound of fat or of milk
Is lower.

A year ago a certain Waupaca coun-
ty (Wis.) dairyman was dissatisfied.
He was milking eleven cows and get
ting a monthly cream check Of $50. he
Joined the Waupaca and Butternut
Ridge Cow Testing association. By
wedding out the robber cows and re
placing them with good producers by
giving the herd better feed and care,
he increased his monthly cream check
from ten cows to $40 month. He
has one COW less to milk and cream
check three times as large.-Orange

Washington's Greatest Factory

One of the most interesting features
of Washington's growth is the develop
ment OF the great naval gun factory.
This plant has been evolved from the
old navy yard, which with its two tower
ing ship houses in which men of war
were constructed was thirty or more
years ago one of the interesting points
of the capital. Its extension has been
gradual and now it is one of the most
important places of government fabri-
cation in the country, model institu-
tion. The personnel expanded from
5000 to 5000 in the course of develop
ments in the past years, is soon to ex-
pand to 10000 and perhaps more as the
war exigencies require. An appropria-
tion of $7,5oo,ooo is now being expended
in an enlargement that will carry the
boundaries of the factory far beyond
their old limits and embrace a large
group of new buildings
Thus enlarged the naval gun factory
will be pre-eminently Washington's
chief industrial center Yet its expan-
sion is only type of what the war has
brought to the capital in point of growth.
Nearly every department has expanded,
the government printing office and the
bureau of engraving and printing both
feeling a'heavy increase of work. The
clerical bureaus have almost all been
called upon for more product
In one respect the capital is fortunate
in its industrial development over most
cities. The workers brought here from
elsewhere or developed locally to man
such plants as the gun factory are Of
superior class. The community cannot
fail to thrive through such additions
to its working force, and Washington
welcomes the prospect Of the swelling
Of the gun factory's roll by so per
cent.

shipping board and pledged their united
and co-ordinated aid to the utmost of
| physical capacity. All competitive RI
valry is to be subordinated to the COM
mon necessity Of the hour; profits are
to be the secondary consideration. Build
ships, build them quickly and keep on
building, is the agreed program.
The Emergency Fleet Corporation is
reorganized and expanded. The open seam
in the organization of the shipping
board caused by the Goethals Denman
breach has been caulked, and now is
copper sheathed and riveted. The ship
building industry, including its collat-
eral branches, is short 100000 workmen.
The War Department is perfecting plans
to relieve from the selective draft men
fitted to engage in various branches of
this industry. Complaint is made of
competitive bidding for high class super
intendents among shipbuilders. The
British defense of the realm act penal
ICES that practice in England, and the
shipping board will ask Congress to pro-
hibit it. Out of today's conference is
promised co ordination of effort between
the Navy. the shipping board and the
master builders, agreement upon priority
of furnishing supplies and the compos-
ing of other differences that have re-
duced production.
The ways are being tallowed for the
launching of the new merchant marine.
In the meantime, carping and fretful-
ness can well give way to patient wait
ing. The ships are being built.
