Two Loyal Forces Reported Ready to
Battle Radicals.

~Petrograd, Nov. 19.-Peace has been
definitely declared in Moscow with
victory for the Bolsheviki. The white
guard has been disarmed, and like
wise the military cadets. Two train
loads of the red guard, en- route from
Petrograd to Moscow to support the
Bolsheviki soldiers there, have been
stopped, and at the same time rail
way telegraph reports indicate that
the Cossacks are making progress
northward, and that the Belsheviki
are in panic in consequence of their
near approach.
Other reports of a new army COM
posed of various elements from the
front and the vanguard of which is
said to be close to Gatchina, have sent
a new thrill through the city. If the
reports are to be credited, the aim of
the new force is to release the city
from the control of the Bolsheviki.
According to some versions, NJ. Ker-
ensky is returning with the army.

VACCINATION URGED
TO PREVENT CHOLERA
Expert of Kansas College Out
lines Practical Plan for
Swine Breeder to Follow.

Vaccination is cheap insurance
against hog cholera in view of the pres
ent high prices of pork, according to
DIR. c. w. Hobbs, field veterinarian and
director of the serum laboratory of the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
The exact health condition of the
hogs and pigs should be ascertained
before treatment. The herd should be
penned in n clean and disinfected in.
closure the day before they are treated.
This allows the herd to become econ
ciled to the new surroundings. One
may then take temperatures and come
to some definite conclusions as to the
condition and health of the pigs.
Swine that are penned and prepared
for immediate treatment will show alb.
normal temperature and thus render 1t
impossible for the veterinarian to give
nm accurate statement as to their eX-
act condition.
The operator should be required to
take the temperature of each indi-
viduul before administering the serum
or virus, and if any of the animals
show an abnormal temperature, they
should be given only the serum and be
isolated for investigation. All those
showing normal temperatures may be
given the simultaneous treatment.

river. They have thrown back masses
of Austro-G erman troops that have

The invaders for a week have been

have been strengthened during that
time. Hundreds of Austrian and Ger

In Flanders the British have pushed
further north on Goeberg spur, north

strongly fortified redoubt.

FEED IMPORTANCE
. FOR WINTER DAIRY
Economy in Feeding Cows as In
diViduals and Not as Herd
Expert Tells of Errors.

Quantity of feed ranks next to the
kind of feed in dairy rations. Econo-
mical feeding demands that cows be
fed as individuals, and not as n herd.
Too frequently each cow In a herd Is
fed the same amount of grain, regard
less of how much milk she is produc-
ing. by this practice some cows Will
be underfed, while others will be over
fed.
1t should be understood that an ami
NAL always uses a certain amount of
the food II receives to maintain the
body. This is the first use to which
the food is put, and is called the ra-
ton of maintenance. This amount is
required by the animal whether or
no She is producing milk. All feed
above this amount is used for milk
production, or is stored on the body
of the animal as fat. In the case of
the young animal part of this excess
is used for growth.
OF h two mistakes made in feed
Ing. perhaps undertaking is most
common, according to c. Il. Eckles of
the Missouri College of Agriculture. 1t
is II serious mistake to feed n COW on
ly enough to keep up her body. She
must receive feed to keep her milk
production up to capacity. If n COW
loses weight while in milk, she Is not
receiving sufficient food. \ good COW
if not fed enough, will produce milk
for Il time at the expense of her body /;
that is, she will take the surplus flesh
from her body, and convert 1t into
milk and thereby will lose live weight.
ON the other hand, when II COW is
oyerfed she will begin to fatten In a
short time. This condition may be
corrected by giving her only the
amount she needs for maintenance
and for milk production. Such feed
ing will maintain practically II uniform
weight.
Roughness is the first important

Slow, light work nearly every day
is good for the brood mare. 1t will
make her healthier and the foal
stronger at birth. If 1t is not possible
to work her she should be turned in
an open pasture in the summer where
she can get exercise, fresh air and
nutritious feed. The maintenance of
her own body and the development of
the foal require a good, wholesome ra-
ton which should contain a little
more protein and ash than that de-
manded by n working gelding.
If the mare is idle in winter. most
of the feed may be roughage, but a
heavier ration must be fed when work
is done. The quantity of feed is de-
termined by the size and condition of
the animal, whether thin or fat, sick or
well. by the appetite, by the amount
of work done, by individuality, condi-
ton of the droppings, and whether
the animal is easy or hard to keep.
The following suggestions for feeding
mares in foal are from Farmers Bull
letin SOB, "Horse-Breeding Sugges-
lions for Farmers" recently issued by
the United States department of agri-
culture.
Grains.
Oats is the best grain for the horse !;
1t is a light, palatable, and balanced
feed. Corn is a good grain, but is
used to better advantage if 1t forms
only from one-third to one-half of the
grain ration of the brood mare. If
wheat is fed, it must be given ground
and in small quantities. Barley is a
good horse feed; it Is more bulky
than wheat and nearer like oats than
corn in composition. Barley is often
cooked and fed once or twice n week
in the evening for its medicinal quail
ities. Bran is an almost essential
horse feed. 1t is a regulator and a
preventive of overlooking. 1t is bulky
and palatable and lightens the ration.
Soy beans and cowpeas are relished
by horses and when accessible will
serve as u useful addition to the grain
feed for mares in foal. They are rela-
lively rich in protein, and consequent

ly combine exceedingly well with corn.
Rougha1e.

Roughage.
Timothy hay is Il popular rOughage
for horses. Bronze grass makes good
hay which is equal to timothy hay in
feeding value. Orchard grass, if cut
in early bloom, is equal to the best of
the hay grasses, and carries consid-
erably more crude protein than tim
othy. Meadow fescue is not so valu.
able as timothy for horses. Sudan.
grass hay is a safe feed for mares, and
numerous native prairie grasses fur
nish hay that is equal to timothy.
Clover hay is likely to be dusty, but
1t has great fattenlng qualities. Millet
is not a safe feed for mares in fOal.
Corn fodder frequently is used to feed
idle horses in the winter, but there
is not enough nutrition in ii alone for
mares in fOal. The same thing is true
in n greater degree of straw. If either
is fed, good quality hay also should
be fed. Unthreshed cowpeas or soy
bean hay Is also n valuable rOughage
which is relished by horses. Even the
threshed hay contains considerable
nutrition. 1t should not De fed to
brood mares if II contains any mold.
Alfalfa hay makes an excellent feed
for mares if it is fed once n day and
timothy or corn fodder given Mt the
other feeding. Occasionally alfalfa hay
is not properly cured, causing it to
mold badly, in which case it should
not be fed to the horses. Farmers
have reported occasionally that alfalfa
causes the kidneys to act too freely,
but it is likely that this trouble will
not be noticed if the alfalfa does not
make up over one-half of the rough
age.
~SuccuIence.
S%ucculent feeds are those which are
juicy, and are easily assimilated. Such
feeds have a cooling, laxative effect on
the digestive system and stimulate up
petite. The most common s%ucculent
feeds on farms are grass, carrots, rut-
abagas, sugar beets and sllage. Grass,
although of a s%ucculent nature, is gen
orally used as the entire ration
through the summer if the mares are
idle.
is % contented unless her stomach is
full. She should always have all the
roughness that she will clean up and
then the amount of grain she receives
should be regulated by the amour of
milk produced. A dry COW in good
condition should be fed rOughness on
ly, and does not need any grain. In
feeding grain to milk producing cows,
the following rule may be used, and is
found to work fairly well: Feed N
pound of grain for each three pounds
or pints of milk produced. A Jersey
cow producing very rich milk may
need a little more grain than the
amount given.
