COMMODITIES List, Which includes
Coal For All Domestic Uses.

WashingtOn.-A new priOrities list
of industries and plants essential to
the war or to the civil population was
announced by Chairman Baruch, OF the
War Industries Board. 1t was de-
scribed as the master key governing
the issuance of priority certificates by
the Priorities Commissioner of the
board for fuel supply or electrical en-
ergy, transportation material, facill-
ties, capital and labor and as the basis
for industrial exemption from the
draft. "The inclusion of the industries
and plants on this preferred list said
the announcement, docs not operate
as an embargo against all others, but
the effect is to defer the requirements
of all other industries and plants until
the requirements of those on the pre-
ferred list shall have been SATISFIED
Industries have been grouped into
four classes according to their relative
Importance. No distinction, however,
has been made between any OF the in
dustries or plants within any one class,
and it was explained that no signlfl-
canoe is to be attached to the order in
which they are listed within any class

the enthusiastic admiration OF the
Partisan crowd for the British SOL

and impassive. Groups of midinettes
observed that the soldiers were not

cried in French. The men did not
falter, but continued to march. grave
and meditative, because they did not

GIVE cows BALANCED RATION
Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats Are
Used by Animals In Quite Differ
ent Proportions.

In feeding dairy cows the best re-
suits are always secured and the most
economic use Of feeds Is obtained by
providing a balanced ration. Careful
studies have shown that the three
classes Of nutrients in feeds, proteins,
carbohydrates, and fats, are used by
different animals in quite different pro-
portions. A ration that supplies these
nutrients in the proportion that the
animal requires, is called balanced
ration. When enough Of each of these
classes is fed there is no waste, caused
by feeding an unnecessary amount of
one class of nutrients. Protein is used
by the animal chiefly to form the mus
Giles or lean flesh of the body, the hair,
the horns, the hoofs and the casein in
the milk. The carbohydrates and the
fat are source of energy in the body,
as well as that of the body fat and the
fat in the milk.
The compromising of balanced ra-
ton is not difficult If one has at hand
tables which show the digestible nutri-
ents Of the various feeds. Many farm
ers, however, obtain good results by
more simple methods, and have found
the following rules useful:
1. Feed all the roughage that the
COW will eat up clean.
2. If the roughage contains eight to
ten pounds Of leguminous hay, such as
clover, cowpea or alfalfa, mix the
grain ration so that II will contain
from IA TO 18 per cent of protein. If
the roughage does not contain large
proportion of leguminous hay, but is
composed largely Of corn silage, corn
stalks, and timothy hay, mix the grain
ration to contain 20 to "a per cent Of
protein.
3. To cows such as Jerseys or Guern-
seys, giving milk testing per cent in
butterfat or higher. feed the grain mix
ture at the rate Of one pound to every
three pounds Of milk produced. To
cows giving milk which tests 31h per
cent in butterfat or less, feed one
pound of the grain mixture ito every
three and one-half to four pounds Of
milk produced.
A. If the COW is in poor flesh and is
giving a good flow of milk, she will u.s.
ually respond to heavier feeding and
the grain ration should be increased.

PROPER Time TO
HARVEST BARLEY
Climatic Conditions Have Some
Influence on Stage at Which
Crop Is Cut.
JUDGE MATURITY BY SPIKES
Some Varieties Shatter Badly When
Ripe, While Others Do Not-High-
ly Priced for Hay in West
Despite Coarse Awns.

P'rom the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
The time of harvesting barley de-
ponds on the use of the crop, the va
riety, the climate and the method used.
For seed, brewing, or feed, the crop
should be mature. The maturity should
not he judged by the earliest spikes.
If possible, the latest spikes should be
mature, rs this will insure that no
part of the crop will be shrunken from
having been harvested too soon. If
the stand is thin or uneven, this may
not be possible, as the earlier spikes of
many varieties would begin to shatter.
BY maturity Is i..eant the point where
material ceases to be added to the
kernel and not that the grain has be-
come dry. There are several popular
tests which indicate this period. The
kernel at this time can be denied with
the thumb-nail and retains the dent for
some time. The milky juice largely
disappears from the furrcw. The hull
begins to wrinkle on the ripest grain,
showing the shrinkage OF the kernel
beneath. After this point is reached,
ripening Is merely the loss of mOis-
turc and can take place in the shock
as well as If left uncut.
Used as Nurse Crop.
Nurse crops of barley are often cut
somewhat earlier than grain crops.
but this is for the purpose of favoring
the development of the grass seeded
with the barley and does not enter
largely into the general problem Of
barley harvest.
AS a hay crop barley is harvested
still earlier. 1t is not, however, cut
while In bloom, as Is customary with
many of the grasses. The grain Is al
lowed to develop almost to Its maxi
mum. The grain content of barley hay
constitutes a considerable part Of its
feed value. Barley is highly priced as
hay crop In the West, despite the
coarse awns which frequently cause
sore mouths in horses and cattle.
Sometimes the hooded varieties are
grown for hay, In order to eliminate
this Objectionable factor. Much of the
hay. however, Is incidental; that is,
the barley is sown for grain. If the
season Is favorable, 1t Is harvested for
grain; If unfavorable, 1t is harvested
for hay.
Time to Harvest.
The time to harvest sometimes de-
ponds on the variety. Some varieties
shatter badly when ripe, while others
do not. Hooded and awnless sorts
shatter most easily. The Coast type

for economy and extent of gains when
used with Oat straw as when fed with
clover hay. AS such ration is extern
sively used in various parts of the
United States its practical value can
readily be seen. Straw and slower are
especially valuable for the wintering
Of breeding herds Of beef cattle, and
should form large part of their feed.
RatiOns suitable for different classes
Of beef cattle are as follows:
Rations for Breeding Cows.
Ration 1:
Straw, 10 pounds.
Silage, 20 pounds.
Cottonseed or linseed meal, pound.
Ration 2:
Straw. 20 pounds
Cottonseed or oil cake. 2 pounds.
Ration 3:
straw, 10 pounds.
Shock corn, 10 pounds.
Cottonseed meal or linseed meal, 1
pound.
Ration 4:
Slower IS pounds.
Cottonseed or linseed oil meal. I
pound.
Rations for Feeding 1,000-Pound Fat
tening Steers.
Ration 1:
Straw, 5 pounds.
Silage, IS pounds
Corn, IL pounds.
Ration 2:
Straw, pounds.
Legume hay, 6 pounds.
Cottonseed cake or linseed cake, s
pounds
Ration 8:
Slower, 10 pounds.
Silage, Is pounds.
Corn, II pounds.
Ration 4:
Straw. pounds.
Slower, Is pounds.
Corn, 6 pounds.
Cottonseed meal, 8 pounds.
In these rations various other feeds
may be substituted. In the rations
given for wintering breeding cows def
mite quantities of straw and slower
are given. In actual feeding such fig
ures should be somewhat disregarded
and the cattle given as much roughage
as they will consume.
Yearlings may be fed three-fourths
the ration for breeding cows and may
be expected to come through the win
ter In fair to good condition.
For fattening animals straw should
always be within reach so that the ami
NAL may eat at will. They will usually
eat from three to five pounds daily.

Barley Ready for Harvester.

types. The types which shatter must
be harvested promptly. The best of
the Coast type can be left until the
full maturity Of the latest culms and
suffer but moderate losses for some
time after complete dryness.
The climatic conditions at the time
Of harvesting have some influence on
the stage at which barley is cut. In a
section subject to storms the harvest
must be accomplished within q very
few days. If the straw Is too green 1t
will not dry out properly in humid
climate and there may be mold dam
age. If harvest is delayed too long
much grain might be lost through the
occurrence Of storm, as all barleys
In humid climates shatter rather easily.
There are but three common meth
DDS Of harvesting barley, by the use of
the binder, the header and the COM
bined harvester. The grain binder is
the implement of the intensive farmer
and is by all means the best where 1t
can be used. The grain can be cut
with less loss. 1t can be cut at the
optimum time and In the humid re-
gfons can be stored with less damage
than by the other methods. When cut
with the header or the combined har-
vester. the grain is allowed to ripen
more completely than when cut with
the grain binder.

Offers new CURE
-. FOR GAS GANGRENE
Brooklyn Surgeon With Army in
France Uses Discovery With
Success.

The discovery by well-knOwn
Brooklyn army surgeon of new So
luton which promises to revolution
front and to eradicate the terrOrs of
what is known in wartime surgery as
gas gangrene, is reported in special
cable dispatch to the Brooklyn Eagle,
dated from Paris. The dispatch says: :
"The discovery of new solution
against gas gangrene was announced
before the American Red Cross Re-
search society in Paris by Maj. James
T. Pitcher of No. 121 Gates avenue,
Brooklyn. To gas gangrene in wound
infections is due the majority Of limb
amputations. Major Pitchers new
method of proceeding against it is one
of the important medical discoveries
Of the war.
'The new solution already has been
used by DIR. Pitcher extensively in
wound cases Of the more serious type,
with surprisingly good results. 1t over
comes many Of the difficulties in
herent in other agents of the same
class.
1.-THE chief attributes of the new
remedy are simplicity of preparation,
stability and the ease with which it
can be concentrated for transporta-
ton. It's strength is easily varied
without impairing its properties, and
It is suitable for the initial treatment
of wounds at dressing stations or evac-
uation hospitals.
"Quino-formol is the name given to
1t by the originator Of the solution. 1t
contains quinine, acetic and hydro
chlOric acids, formalin and thymol,
merged into strong salt solution.

doctor Pitcher, In telling of the
new treatment, modestly emphasized
that the new solution is not a cure
all nor panacea, but is applicable only
where proper surgical methods al
ready have been taken. Application
Of the solution is identical with that
Of the Carrel-Dakin treatment, which
often has been used In conjunction
with quino-formol."

ATTENTION TO COLTS FEET
Examine Them Carefully Whether on
Pasture or In Barn-keep Toes
Properly Trimmed.

Look frequently at the feet of the
colts, whether on the pasture or in
the barn, and remedy things before
they get bad. Keep the toes trimmed
down to the proper length and do not
allow the heels to run over and get
round. If the feet are kept rounded
on the toe and Of the proper length,
the tendency to split and crack will be
reduced to a minimum. In the stable
the feet should be frequently cleaned
and trimmed and the frog kept in its
proper shape.
