STOCKS ARE NOT WELCOMED
However, as They Are Fashion, Il Will
Be Seen Whether Women Care
More for Comfort or Style.

After wearing the low, comfortable
collars of the past season, few women
will welcome the temperance of the
stock. However, stocks are the fash
Ion, and now it Is n question of whetk-
err women care more for comfort than
fashion.
When plain material is used there Is
a quaint little fashion which dlstin-
guishes the stocks worn by women
from those designed for men. On the

There IL some danger, according to
agricultural authorities, that the sheep
tick may become a source OF consij-
cradle loss to farmers and ,%stockmen
in those localities in which the dipping
practiced for some years in order to
eliminate sheep scab has been largely
discontinued. Dipping for scab has
helped to control the sheep tick In
those localities, which consequently
have been comparatively free from. this
pest for a number of years. Now,
however, II appears TINT sheep ticks

The sheep tick is n wingless phra-

the sheep. 1t obtains Its food by pune
turing the skin Ind feeding on the

IMPORTANT TO FEED
WORK HORSES WELL
Some Good Suggestions Offered
by Oklahoma Expert-Alfalfa
Is Great Bone Producer.

There was n time when anything
was good enough for the horse. Agri-
cultural conditions are gradually
changing. With the increase in farm
values. the increase in cost of grain,
and the increased cost of producing
feed grains as well as roughage, the
question of feeding the horse is be-
coming more important all the time,
says w. l.. Blizzard Of the department
of animal husbandry at Oklahoma A.
and NJ. college at saltwater.
The question of combining feeds
that are economical is probably the
most important question Mt this time.
On most farms some or all of the fol-
lowing feeds are available for the
work horse: Corn, barley, oats, kafir,
bran, cottonseed meal, llnseed oil meal,
alfalfa hay. oat straw, sudan hay,
prairie hay, timothy and clover hays.
A few suggestions by Mr.. Blizzard
for combining these feeds for horses
work horses or otbers-are as fol-
lows:
Corn and alfalfa hay are a good
combination, but have n tendency to
heat the animal during hot weather.
Oats or bran will counterfeit this ten
dency. Corn, barley or kafir will give
better results If combined with bran
and ~cottonseed meal or oil meal. Oats
added Ia any of these feeds will in
crease their efficiency. Oats alone is
a better feed than either corn, katir or
barley. Oats and bran combined half
and half, are especially well suited for
brood mares and growing horses.
Bran Is n good conditioner. Cut straw,
alfalfa hay, sudan hay or prairie hay
can be added to n grain mixture and
should constitute from 20 to % pounds
of lO0-pound combination. These hays
when cut and mixed with the grain add
bulk to the ration and reduce the cost
The mixture should be dampened with
one-sixth water before feeding.
Alfalfa is n great bone producer
When 1t Is used, the amount OF bran
can be reduced in a ration. Ii Is
