Last week the Womanls National

to be knitted into sweaters, helmets
and socks for the Henderson county
volunteer company, the 9th Coast Ar
tillery.
The response as given below has
reduced the amount needed to $500.
This will cover the cost OF wool and
expressage of wool from factory and
garmets to Fl. Caswel1.
After supplying all OF the company
but a few, it is a pity to leave these
uncared for. These garments are
much needed particularly when they
start on their journey to France. 1t

this will respond, if eve so little,

AND GIRLS should
JOIN One OR MORE CLUBS
Young People Appealed to BY County
Agent; Opportunity to Pay Way
Through college by Engaging in
Club Work.

I want to make an appeal to ths
boys and girls of Henderson count.
Ito ioin or or more Of the Boys anc
lGiriss Clubs. / intended to e yoI
Tall at the various schools in the county
Mt the weather has been so severe thai
II has been impossible for me to gel
around to you all. We have four clubs:
icorn club, potato club, pig club and
tnouItry club, You can join efther<one
ior aIt-of them. Both 5oys and girls
Iare ioining these clubs. / am sure YOU
will find the work in these clubs both
pleasant and profitable.
If YOU join the poultry club, o sci
at least one setting of pure bred eggs
You will, in all probability, raise
enough pulIets to furnish you all the
eggs that the home will want to set
this wear. AT the end of the second
wear YOU will have as many pure bred
chickens as you will want to keep on
the farm, and you can get rid OF all
scrub stock.
i especially urge you to join the pig
club If you will get a registered re
male of some breed that You prefer,
and raise pigs you will find a ready
sale for them. Of course registered
stock seems high, but you know Just
common pigs are also very high. Some
bows and girls have made enough mon
.ey in this way to pay their way through
college, and others are doing the same
thing now.
This year the club work brings
an opportunity to ambitious boys and
girls to do something really worth
while, something that is very much
needed and will be greatly appreciated
by your country. The boy or girl who
grows corn or potatoes, or. raises q pig
or a flock of chickens will indeed be
helping this country at a time when
service is needed; for, never before
there been such an urgent call for
service as at the present time.
So please don't waitfor me to see
YOU all personally, but send your name
in to me telling me the club you wish
to Join. And get someone else to join
with you. Let US make the club work
count for something this year. We al
ready have several members, but let
us make the number the greatest 1t
has ever had in the county. Parents
and older people can greatly aid In TINS
work by encouraging the boys n

Washington, Jan. 25.-Division OF

towards instituting a zone system OF
coaT distribution is underway by the
fuel administration. Boundaries for
seven of the districts already have
been Established and Fuel Administra-
tor Garfield has named a representa-

With the aid of the railroad admin

will define consuming districts, each

been successfully tried out in England
Fuel administration officials say it will
work just as well everywhere, saving
thousands of miles of transportation
and insuring the speediest possible
movement of coal from the mine to

RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF COLT
Practical Suggestions for Feeding and
Care During Early Life-How
to Promote Growth.

(From the United States Department of
Agricultural
Colts should be housed in dry, Sani-
tary quarters, which give fairly warm
protection from winds. Where sew
eral of the animals are kept togeth-
er it is important to make provision
for the weaker ones and see that they
are not driven away from their feed
by the stronger animals.
The quarters should be kept clean
and well bedded and occasionally
should be disinfected. Lice are to be
suspected when the animals get to
rubbing and lose patches of hair.
Thorough washing with the proper
solutions of coal-tar disinfectantS will
kill lice. 1t costs money to feed lice,
consequently efforts should be made
to keep them down. The foals should
be out in the open every day that is
not stormy; it is harmful, however,
for them to remain out in a cold rain.
The foal should be taught to lead and
to stand tied during the first winter.
Feeds that will promote growth
should be supplied. Good, clean clover
hay is palatable and slightly laxative.
Timothy hay commonly is fed. Well
cured alfalfa hay free from dust is
one of the best roughages for growing,
but because Of its relatively high pro-
tein content it generally is economical
to supplement it with other roughage
such as timothy, mixed hay, or corn
fodder. Besides lending variety to
the ration such a method of feeding
alfalfa would offset any likelihood of
kidney or bowel Irregularities. Sheaf
oats can be used to advantage to sup
plement other roughage. The animals
should not be allowed to gorge them
selves on dry feed. They should be
given only what they will clean up
readily, but at the same time enough
feed should be supplied. Oats, corn,
and peas, preferably fed ground, are
suitable grains. Bran, oil meal, or
gluten feed will add protein and lend
variety. Cottonseed meal should not
be fed to foals. Appropriate grain ra-

tions for the first winter are: Two

Silage should not be fed to foals to
such as carrots and sugar beets, are
very palatable and have cooling eff
feet on the digestive system. The
quantity Of feed generally should be
regulated by the appetite, although
occasionally the appetite may be too
rayenous to be good indication. The
general condition of the colt and
the droppings should be observed
daily. Usually not over one pound
of grain per 100 pounds of live weight
should be fed until the animal is two
years old. A liberal supply of salt
and good water and plenty of fresh
air and exercise are essential for the
proper development of young horses.
Idleness succeeding exercise will cause
constipation. 1t is often said that a

stunted during the first winter he
never will gain proper size and shape.
Foals should be changed from dry
feed to pasture gradually ana should
not be turned on pasture until the
grass is old enough not to become
washy. Grass is an Indispensable fac
tor in the economical and prope- phys
biological development OF young horses.
During the second winter the feed
and management should be nearly the
same as for the first winter, except
that the quantity of feed should be
increased somewhat, the colt tied up
in his stall, and handled frequently.
Education by gentle and careful but
firm handling at this age will save
later much strenuous labor
The succeeding years are largely a
repetition of those already discussed
so far as feed and management are
concerned, although the quantity of
feed must be gradually increased as
the animal grows. The prime general
essentials for the proper develop
ment of horses from the yearling stage
until they are Pct to work are Fresh
air, pure water, plenty of exercise,
nutritious, palatable feed in sufficient
quantity, and shelter from storms.

now depend upon corn products for
