WINTER WORK FOR sTALLIONI
No Reason Why Eie Should Not Be
Worked Like Any Other Horse
Give Reasonable Exercise.

It is, mistake to keep stations
idle during the fall and winter.
Though this is often done there is no
reason why he should not be worked
like any other horse. If this is not
possible he should at least be given
the opportunity of taking a reasonable
amount of exercise. Also the feed
should be about the same as that Of
other horses.
Feed about one pound of good hay
for every 100 pounds of weight and in
addition to this, give enough grain,
equal parts of corn, bran and oats, to
keep the animal in good flesh, but not
too fat. If this be done he will be
more efficient during the breeding sea-
son than would be the case were he
kept in breeding condition all through
the year.

BERLIN REPORTS CAPTURE OF
500 FRENcHMENN NEAR VERDUN.
Foe Is Declared to Have Suffered San
culinary Losses When Counter
Attack Fails.

Berlin, Jan. 90 French trenches
on Hill 3O4, northwest of Verdun,
were stormed by German troops along
a front of 1000 meters, the war Office
announced on Friday.

AVERAGE LABOR FOR HORSES
Horse on Grain Farm Works Three.
Hours Day-Different on Diver
sified Crop Farm.

On the grain farm the heaviest work
for the horses comes in. April May,
August, September and October. The
rest of the time there is practically
nothing for the horses to do. But
enough horses have to be kept during
the year to take care of the work dur
ing these busy months. When aver
aged up, the horse on the grain farm
only works three hours day. These
figures were secured in an investiga-
ton by the Minnesota experiment sta
ton, under the direction of Thomas
Cooper, now director Of the North Da-
kota experiment station.
In this same investigation it was
found that when the crops are diversi-
fed, the horse labor is better dis
tributed. There is less work for the.
horses in the seasons that are the bust
est on the all-grain farm, and there is
work for the horses when there is
no work for the horses on the all-grain
farm.

buked by President.

Washington, Jan. q. President
Wilson, speaking on Thursday to a
delegation from the Maryland League
for National Denfense, which attacked
the National Guard and advocated uni
versal military training, rebuked them
for their 'unrestrained language" and
said they would have better chance
of his support if they were more rea-
sOnable in their attitude.
The memorial, read to the president
by Maj. Randolph Barton, spoke Of the
National Guard system as a disgrace"
and a failure" 1t urged universal
compulsory military training and serv-
ice, and mentioned the mobilization of
the National Guard along the Mexican

ton Hotels Also Is Denounced
by Lawmakers.

washington, Jan. 29.-The senate on
Friday voted favorably on the $4,000
appropriation to pay for the inaugura-

about how Washington hotel keepers
''rob" visitors and some observations
that the inaugural ceremonies have
come to resemble a coronation pageant.
When Senator Overman brought the
resolution from the appropriated
committee Senator McCumber (Rep.)
of North Dakota suggested that it
should include provisions to prevent
hotel keepers from raising their rates.
He said he had been informed by one
hotel that room for Inauguration
week would cost 5000.
'Pm not going to object to this reso-
luton" said Senator Works (Rep.) Of
California, shut l should like to see
one president inaugurated with appro-
pirate ceremonies suitable in democ-

DRINKING WATER FOR STOCK
Automatic Device, Invented by Indiana
Man, Insures Full Supply and
Saves All Waste.

An ingenious contrivance for use in
watering troughs has been invented
by an Indiana man. 1t consists of an
automatic device for filling the trough
as fast as the water is depleted by
animals drinking it. The pipe through
which the water is. supplied is fitted
with a spring valve.
An angle-shaped arm is pivoted in
the bottom of the tank near this pipes
with the lower end Of the arm resting
on the valve and the upper end ter
minating in a wooden ball, which
floats on the surface of the water.

STREET CARS SToRMED BY MOB
AT JUAREz AND EIGHT
AMERICANS SEIZED.
SITUATION CALLED SERIOUS
Women Join Disturbers When U. S.
Officials End AII-Night Traffic Over
Bridge Withdrawal of General
Pershing Announced.

Ell PasO, Tex, Jan. 30.-Rioters in
Juarez stormed four street cars on Sun
day and seized eight American street
car men. They are being held pris-
oners by the Mexicans. The mob on
the other side Of the river has assumed
such menacing attitude that Carran-
"a soldiers are guarding the four in
ternational bridges and cavalrymen are
patrolling the river front, opposite the
American patrol.
The demonstration of the rioters,
which was at first derisively good
natured, changed suddenly just after
noon, when four shots were fired at
the Mexican end of the railroad bridge.
After that the mob attacked the street
cars. So far no American has been
harmed, but the increasing violence
of the disorderly element is causing
uneasiness.
Among the rioters are many Next
can women. These joined in the at
tack on the street cars and then
marched to the international bridge,
where they held a demonstration
against all Americans.
The women joined the rioters be-
cause the United States health of
f1cers put an end to all-night traffic
between Juarez and 81 Paso.
Hundreds of excited Mexican men
and women now line the banks of the
Rio Grande opposite Ell Paso.
A report was brought to Ell Paso
by Americans returning from Juarez
that one Mexican was shot and killed
during the shooting there.
Washington, Jan. 30.-Oficfal an
nouncement of the withdrawal of Unit
ed States troops from Mexican soil
was made by the war department.
Newton p. Baker, secretary Of war,
issued the following statement the
first official announcement Of Major
: General Pershing's recall:
General Pershing has been ordered
to bring his troops out of Mexico.
The movement is to be an immediate
one and is probably already under
way"
The war department announced that
The northern movement of General
Pershing's men began early Sunday
morning with the evacuation of Co.
lonia Dublan.

MEXCANs IN RIOT |VETOES ALIEN BILL
WILSON CALLS LITERAcY TEST
RADICAL CHANGE IN POLICY
AND UNJUSTIFiED.
PRESIDENT REGRETS ACTION
Second Time Measure Has Been
Killed BY Wilson Because of the
Literacy Test-sends Message to
the House.

Washington, Jan. 81. = President
Wilson vetoed the immigration bill
passed recently by congress because
of its literacy test provision.
1t was the second time that Presi-
dent Wilson had vetoed an immigra-
ton bill because Of the literacy test,
and for the same reasons similar meas
ures were given vetoes by Presidents
Taft and Cleveland.
The presidents veto message to the
house, in which the bill originated,
follows:
81 very much regret to return this
bill without my signature.
"In most of the provisions OF the
bill I should be very glad to concur,
but cannot rid myself Of the con-
yiction that the literacy test constl-
tutes radical change in the pollcy
of the nation which is not justified In
principle.
1T is not a test of character, OF
quality or Of personal fitness, but
would operate in most cases merely
as penalty for lack Of opportunity
in the country whence the alien seek
ing admission came. The opportunity
to gain an education is in many cases
one Of the chief opportunities sought
by the immigrants in coming to the
United States, and our experience IN
the past has not been that the ill1t-
crate immigrant is as such an unde-
sirab1e immigrant. Tests of quality
and of purpose cannot be objected to
on principle, but tests of opportunity
surely may be.
Moreover, even If this test might
be eQuitably insisted on, one Of the
exceptions proposed to its application
involves a provision which might lead
to very delicate and hazardous diplO-
matte situations.
''The bill exempts from the opera
ton of the literacy test all aliens who
shall prove to the satisfaction of the
proper immigration officer or to the
secretary of labor that they are
seeking admission to the United
States to avoid religious persecution
in the country of their last perma-
nent residence, whether Such pefSecu-
ton be evidenced by overt acts or
by laws or governmental regulations
that discriminate against the alien or
the race to which he belongs because
of his religious faith
sSuch a provision, so applied and
administered, would oblige the officer
concerned in effect to pass judgment
upon the laws and practices of a for
eign government and declare that
they did or did not constitute re-
ligious persecution.
ST dare say that these consequences
were not in the minds of the pro-
ponents Of this provision, but the
provision separately and in itself rem
ders it unwise for me to give my as
sent to this legislation in its present
FORM"

FEW SUGGESTIONS ON HORSE
Pedigree Has Considerable Weight
Keeping Animals Skin Clean
Is Essential to Health.

While pedigree does not make the
aorse it has considerable weight when
his value is to be taken into consid-
Grafton.
1t should not be one good breed of
norses against another, SO much as the
Well-bred against the scrub.
Keeping the skin of the work horses
clean enables them to sweat freely and
this is essential to their health.
IF a horses neck is tired by tight
refining, he is a tired horse and he has
seen tired without accomplishing any
hing.
