prepared by the United States Depart

Cheap feeds, such as straw and corn
stOver. have a place in the horse ra-
ton. For growing colts and for horses
doing hard work these roughages may
be fed in limited quantities, supple
mentary to a more nutritious ration.
A caution is timely in regard to feed
ing bulky roughages low in nutrients.
Horses have comparatively small
stomachs and their digestive anatomy
is in no way suited to handle a great
bulk Of feed. Little nourishment is
derived from pound of such rough
age, and in maintaining a hard-work-
ing animal too great bulk Of feed
would necessarily be taken into the
body. 1t is therefore desirable to COM
bine with limited quantity of stover
or straw sufficient legume hay, grain,
or other nutritious feed to meet the in
dividual requirements of the horse.

such as silage, roots, bran, or alfalfa,

This has proved to be 4 season In

very good intention Of saving wool or

one were to try to define the one thing
that distinguishes this seasons ap-

the wearableness and adaptability Of
outer garments would be selected as
the outstanding features. The street

When the fact began to be realized
that the number of domesticated ami

equal to the demand. various other
sources which might be used to help
supplement the regular supply were in

their use for food. This was in line
with the findings in other countries on
the same question. 1t is stated that

ABOUT CHRISTMAS TRADE.
The Call for Christmas Things is
Here, Should he none Early
This Year.

The government not merely asks
the people to limit their Christmas
purchases to strictly useful goods,
but to make their purchases very
early this year. 1t considers the or
binary rush of the holiday season to
be harmful activity in time of war.
1t wants to keep the work of con-
Quoting stores and operating express
companies and the postoffice, down
to normal basis during that period.
If people continue to do their
Christmas buying at the usual time,
it will not be possible to deliver
presents through the post Office and
express companies until long after
the holiday. There is not help enough
to be had to do the usual Christmas
work unless it is strung out over q
long period.
There is just one way to start this
trade and get it going now And
that is for stores to feature useful
Christmas gifts in their advertising.
An indolent editor, who hated
work, once told his reporters not to
put in anything about politics. He
thought that political excitement was
largely stirred up by newspapers. II
they refrained from putting political
news in the paper, he thought there
would not be much political interest,
and they would have less work to do.
While this was very poor journalism
and poor patriotism too, the mans
judgement was largely right as to
where political interest comes from.
So it will be in Christmas trade.
If the people are left to themselves
on this matter, they will begin buy
ing about the usual time, and there
will be the usual rush and scrim-
mage. Ii the merchants will adver-
tise their Christmas offerings now.
as many of them are doing, the trade
will get going in good shape early in
November, and the work will be dis
tributed so that there will be less of
a rush at any one time.
