MAY NAME State
TROOPS IN ACTION
Baker Decides Public Should
Know Who is Doing
Fighting
PROMPT NOTICE
OF CASUALTIES

WASHINGTON, June 6-The AmerI-
can people are to be given information
on the exploits Of the troops in which
they are most interested, when dis
closure OF identity OF units will not
give valuable facts to the enemy, Sec
rotary OF War Baker declared yester-
day
Secretary Baker has communicated TO
General Pershing a desire 10 make pub
lie the names OF State troops which take
part in operations with the enemy and
where possible 10 announce the names
Of individual commanders whose men
distinguish themselves.
lt is Secretary Bakers hope TO give
out the names Of organizations which
participate In actual fighting as soon as
10 IS established that the enemy Is
aware that such units are In action
against him.
Under this program 70 will be posi-
bic TO state that such and such o regl-
ment was IN a particular action. and the
American people will be able TO judge
OF the lighting ability OF the men Of
the different states
The adjutant generals office issued a
statement explaining the unusual efforts
that are being made 10 notify promptly
relatives of soldiers appearing in the
casually list Of the American expedl-
Gonary forces.
The statement. In part, says:
Relatives OF soldiers named In cas-
ualiy lists forwarded from France by
General Pershing ordinarily are notified
by telegraph within twenty-four hours
Most OF the exceptions 20 this rule are
caused by circumstances over which the
adiutant generals Office has no con
troll. Delays usually are due 70 these
causes: -~
First Clerical errors, caused by the
fact that names and addresses must
pass through SO many hands in France.
and America.
Second. Incorrect street addresses /
turned in by soldiers at their emergency
addresses. These mistakes occur fire.
qucntly in cases where soldiers have /
been away from home and do not re-
member street numbers or street names. /
Third Removal OF families TO adj /
dresses other than those listed by sol T.
ders.
Fourth. To occasional necessity for
cabling back~fO General Pershing 10
verify a name or 20 obtain an address.
Each contingent sailing TO Join the
American expeditlonary forces forwards
a copy Of its roster 20 the adiutant gen.
eral, as 1t goes on shlpboard.
After the complete casualty list is
ready with the emergency addresses. Il /
is withheld from publication in the
for reasonable space, out
Of respect for the feelings Of relatives.
The adiutsnt generals ONCE allows am
pie time for the relatives TO receive the
kilograms. so that they may have the
news before it Is given to the general
public
Aside from the four causes Of delay
already mentioned. the only reason for
the failure Of relatives TO receive word
at once Is military consideration. Gen
eral Pershing may at his discretion /

TALES OF AIR RAIDS THRILL

the bombing airplanes have crossed
the British lines and landed safely In
their aerodrOme.
Bombing by night is the method
most favored by German pilots. Com
pared with daylight raiding bombing
by night is rather rule of thumb,
pedestrian affair. The danger from
antiaircraft guns is at its minimum by
night, for an airplahe is a difficult tar

any searchllght, except perhaps those
used in the highly specialized and In
tensive defense of London, and there
Is little chance of meeting hostile air
planes or Of observing much of what
damage Is done by the bombs. The In
eradicable sporting instinct of the
British causes them to prefer the vast
ly increased peril of the daylight raid,
offering themselves as visible targets
to antiaircraft guns, but discriminate
ing in daylight between legitimate
military detectives and civilian homes.
Nevertheless detectives such as Ger

HOW WAR HAS HURT HOLLAND
Conflict Has Had Marked Evil Effect
on Morals of Citizens of the
Little Country.

Holland, no doubt, had It's many
faults and shortcomings, but it GER
tainly never was a corrupt country,
either in administration, in politics or
in business, Matthuys P. Rooseboom
writes in Atlantic. This war has fos-
tered temptations and vices totally
new to the country. AS conditions grow
worse profiteering, boarding, trying to
clrcumvent regulations, lack Of respOn-
sibllity and of public feeling, selfish
ness, lust of Undue profits-all these
do increase.
Then there are the spies Of all ma
tiOnalities having centers in our coun-
try, trying to bride our folk into rem
dering them services for high rewards.
Then there is the gradually growing
unemployment, with its curse of idle
ness, making men prone to succumb
to the temptations Of profitable snug
Cling. Then there are the many unde-
sirable foreign elements, the alarming
growth of prostitution and its inherent
evils, the increasing number of thefts,
burglaries and even murders.

RENTING FARM FOR DAIRNNG
Half-and.Half System Proves Most
Successful In Representative Sec
tIon Near Chicago.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture.)
The so-called half-and-half system is
the most common in use and the most
satisfactory in renting dairy farms In
representative dairy regions near Chi
cago studied by farm management
specialists Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Generally
speaking, under this system the land
lord supplies the land, the tenant the
labor, and each shares the expenses
and income equally. The study was
made on 143 farms In Green county,
Wisconsin, and Kane county 1.-THE FL
gin district Illinois, where dalrylng
is a comparatively old, well-developed
and profitable industry. In the report
of the study, published as Bulletin COB,
Of the department, 1t is brought out
that while this system is particulars
ly applicable to the regions studied,
it is believed to be suitable in dairy
sections generally.
Under the half-and-haIf system the
landlord furnishes the land, buildings,
the greater part of the seed and fertili
izer, and half the productive stock,
while the tenant furnishes horses, MAJ
chinery, half of the productive stock,
part Of the seed, and sometimes part
of the fertilizer. All stock is fed usut
ally from the grain and hay owned In
common. When a feed Of any kind Is
bought, Its cost is shared equally be-
tween the landlord and tenant. In
general, each party pays the taxes on
all property owned by him, including
the farm road tax, though In many
cases In the North Central states all
the farm road tax is worked out by
the tenant.
Under this system the poultry fire.
Quently is owned exclusively, in linn
tied numbers, by the tenant, and he
gets the proceeds therefrom, but with
this exception. each party generally
receives half Of the proceeds of farm
sales Of all products Of whatever mas
ture.
Less frequently dairy farms are
share-rented on the third system, the
landlord supplying everything but the
man-power, which is furnished by the
tenant, and getting twO-thirds of the
sales of all products while the tenant
receives one-third. When feed is pur-
chased the tenant pays one-thlrd Of
the cost.
The length Of lease in the regions
studied ranges from one to five years.
In the Wisconsin district 76 per cent
of the leases were for one year only,
none being for longer period than
three years, while in the Illinois dis
trict 60 per cent of the leases were for
one year. In the Wisconsin group 80
per cent and in the Illinois group q
per cent Of the leases were verbal.
Seventy-five per cent Of the farm in
come on the farms Of the Wisconsin

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

From the United States Department o
Agriculture.)
Colts should be housed In dry, SAM
tary quarters, which give fairly warn
protection from winds. Where sew
eral of the animals are kept togeth
err 1t is important to make provision
for the weaker ones and see that they
are not driven away from their feeC
by the stronger animals.
The quarters should be kept clear
and well bedded and occasionally
should be dAsinfected. 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; 1t 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 it's relatively high pro-
tein content it generally is economical
to supplement 1t 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 win add protein and lend
variety. Cottonseed meal should not
be fed to foals. Appropriate grain ra-

FEW "DOM'TS" FOR DAIRYMEN
Overlooking Causes More Stunted
Calves Than underfeedIng-Feed
Them In Sanctions.

In rearing and developing dairy
heifers:
Don't overfeed. Twice as many
calves are stunted by overlooking as
by underfeeding.
Don't change suddenly from whole
TO skim milk.
Don't keep calves in damp, dark,
crowded, poorly ventilated barns.
Don't feed milk in dirty pals.
Don't be irregular as to the time Of
feeding, temperature or amount Of
milk.
'Don't feed too much alfalfa hay bsD
fore the calf is three months old.
Don't let calves suck each other
after drinking milk. They should be
placed in stanchions and fed grain.
Don't make calves go without water,
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1918-09-20

dions for the first winter are: Two
parts corn, five parts oats, three parts
bran, and one part oil meal; or four
parts oats, one part corn, and one
part bran.
Silage should not be fed to foals to
any considerable extent. Sliced roots,
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
ravenous to be a 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
horse is made during his first winter.
Certainly this is a critical time in the
animals life, and at no other age will
proper feed and attention do so much
to make of him good horse. If
stunted during the first winter he
never win 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 proper 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 put to work are: Fresh
air, pure water. plenty of exercise
nutritious, palatable feed in sufficient
quantity, and shelter from storms.
