Is practically constant.
The maximum draft for horse is
about of his weight. although horses
have been known to exert pull of
two thirds of their weight. Most
horses can exert tractive power
equal to half their weight, at a slow
walk for about 100 feet. On the
road in emergencies, as in starting
the load or in overcoming obstacles,
a horse may be expected to exert
pull elua tc half his weight, but at
this rate he develops days energy
in about two hours; and consequent
ly IL he is expected to work all day
he should not be called upon to exert
his maximum power except for a
short time. Similarly, horse can
exert q draft equal to one quarter Of
his weight for a longer time. The
working tractive power of a horse
may be taken as one tenth of its
weight, with an ordinary maximum
of one quarter, and in great emergen-
cies q maximum of one half of its
weight.
Effect Of Grade.
The effective tractive power of
horse upon an inclined road surface
is decreased by the fact that the horse
must lift his own weight up the
grade. The following table shows
the load a horse can draw upon diff
erent road surfaces when exerting a
uniform pull equal to one tenth Of
its weight. The load is in terms Of
the weight of the horse.
Compare these facts with the road
conditions in Morrow County and you
can easily determine whether or not
the proposed road Improvements will
increase the hauling capacity Of our
rural districts.

FEED DRIED POTATOES

Dried pressed potato is very eff
cient in producing rapid gains and a
high finish when fed to swine," Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
investigators have found in search
for suitable way to dispose Of Gull
or surplus potatoes.
To give the best results, however.
dried pressed potatoes must be fed in
combination with feeds rich in pro-
tein, such as oil meal, fish meal, and
tankage.
The investigators also advise mix
ing or soaking such feed with water
for Is minutes before its ue.
An experiment, in which were used
IL shigh grade pigs beween five and
six months of age, was conducted to
determine, first, the value Of dried
pressed potato in ration for fatten-
ing hogs and supplemented by feeds
I rich in protein, and, second, the effect
of dried pressed potato on the quality
of meat produced.
The pigs were divided into four
lots of three each. The first lot, for
checking purposes, was fed a ration
of six quarts corn meal and one part
tankage. The other three lots were
fed rations of six parts dried pressed
potato, the second lot supplemented by
one part tankage, the third lot by one
part linseed-oil meal (old process),
and the fourth by one part of fish
meal. The pigs in all the lots ate
we'll and regularly, and the investiga-
tors drew the conclusion that the
dried pressed potato rations were pal
atable and produced pork readily.
In carcass tests after the fattening
experiment the Investigators found
ION the whole it is impossible to say
that dried pressed potato meal does
not produce a fat equal for all pur-
poses to that produced by corn meal.
While we were able to note some lit.
tie difference in hardness in favor of
the lot fed on corn meal, that differ
ence was so small as not to be noticed
under average packing condi-
tions Dried pressed potato meal
does not produce soft pork"
Regarding the quality of the meat
in the case of bacon strips, little diff
ference can be detected. Here it is
indicated that the corn-fed hog is
much the fattest.
In the rendered lard, the investi-
gators found no noticeable variation
in taste, odor, color, or consistency.
The carcass data are thus summar-
lied:
Dried, pressed potato meal fed
with any of the three supplements
used in the experimental feeding pro-
duced pork equal in quality to that
! produced by a ration of corn meal
and tankage.
Dried, pressed potato meal sup
plemented with old-process linseed-
oil meal produced carcass which for
degree of finish excelled even that OF
the corn-meal hog, and the degree or
finish on the other two lots was but
little inferior to that of the check
hogs.
"No difference could be noticed In
any way in the curing qualities or In
the excellence of the finished product
cut from the hams, shoulders, and
bacon sides of the hogs fed in the

Tuesday, February 18th Is the last
day upon which war risk insurance
may be taken out by men who have
entered the service Of the United Sta
tes Army and Navy.
Due to the fact that thousands Of
men in the service have overlooked

every means be taken to bring the
matter to the attention Of the men
before the time limit expires. To
that end, the American Red Cross
