SEES DRY VICTORY
 BEFORE FEBRUARY Musgrove Returns With News That Al States Will
 Ratify Amendment

L. B. Musgrovo returned yeSteruay from Oberlin, Ohio, where he attended the twenty-fifth anniversary of the or ganization of the Anti-Saloon league last week. He said that favorable reports on the campaign for the ratification or the prohibition amendment to the federal constitution were received from all over the country.
 "We celebrated the silver anniversary. I suppose you might call it, of the Anti Saloon league,' he said. Representatives and superintendents were present from nearly every state and the reports they made showed the league to be in good fighting trim. Aggressive fights are De- ing made in all of the states that lave not already acted on the amendment and we have assurances that by Feoru- ary of next year 42 states will have ratified the amendment.
 ',The governor of Louisiana has called a special session of the legislature or that state for August for the specific purpose of considering the amendment, and it is certain to be ratified. The recent tie in the senate of that state was due to the death of member who would have voted for it had he lved. Be- fore the legislature conyenes in special session an election will be held to fill that vacancy and as the district is dry and heretofore has elected dry members, 1t is certain that the needed majority to ratify will be on hand when the ques- ton again comes to vote
 MT Musgrove had nothing to say aoout Una situation in this state, explaining that he had been absent several days and would have to familiarize himself with what has been done since he went away before he could be prepared to make a statement further than to express apso- lnte confidence in the election of large majority of amendist legislators in the August primaries.

WIND-PR00F STOCK SHELTER
1t Should Be Made Strong Enough to
Withstand Any Wind-set End
Posts in Cement.

In constructing stock shelter in
an open field particular care should
be taken to make it substantial
enough to withstand any wind short
Of a tornado. A little foresight in
this regard may save the loss Of valu-
able animals at some later time. To
this end the posts should be firmly
set, preferably In cement, and the
upper framework should be snugly
bolted or spiked together.
If the three inclosed sides are COM
posed of loose boards, set on end at
an angle of As degrees and banked in
place with straw, about the worst q
heavy wind could accomplish would
be to elbow out" the sides. Little
damage to stock would be likely to
occur in such an event.
A shelter of this kind, with its top
as well as it's sides heavily straw-cov.
cred will for all practical purposes be
as permanent as though its sides had
been nailed firmly in place. With its
open side toward the south it will
prove weather-proof, warm and quite
adaptable to creature comfort.

GRINDING FEED FOR HORSES
improbable That 1t Pays Except Where
Animals Are at Hard Work or
Have Poor Teeth.

Answering the query as to whether
1t pays to grind oats or corn for horses,
and which would give best results,
Prof. B. E. Carmichael Of the Ohio ex-
pertinent station makes the following
reply:
ut is improbable that grinding
either corn or oats for horses will pay
excepting in cases where the horses
are at very hard work or have poor
teeth. Even in instances of this kind
it is not at all certain that profit will
always result from this rather expen-
sive operation. Soaking corn that is
exceedingly dry and hard is advisable.
As a general thing it seems that it is
safe to regard ear corn and oats, both
Of good quality, approximately equal
in feeding value per pound for horses.
IF there is tendency to swallow
the feed without thoroughly chewing,
it would be worth while to devise a
method of feeding that would render
it impossible for the feed to be eaten
so rapidly. Mixing a small amount of
bran or chaffed hay with the grain
might be of assistance, or the same
result might be accomplished by put
ting large pebbles in the feed box. It
Is we'll to determine whether the teeth
are in good condition, whenever there
Is evidence that the feed is poorly
masticated.
