BIG INCREASE
In ALL RATES
Freight Rates Will Be
Raised At Least Is
Per Cent
CRx Associated Press

Washington, May 15.-Estinates
made today by railroad administration
officials indicate an increase Of at
least % per cent in freight and pas
senger rates will be necessary this
year to meet the higher costs fuel,
wages. equipment and other operat-
ing expenses, now set at between
$500, 900, 900 and $750,o00,000 more
than last year.
Recommendation that rates be
raised by approximately this per-
centage has been made to Director
General McAdoo by his advisers. He
is expected to act within the next
six weeks, and to put it into effect
Immediately.
Shippers will be permitted to- ap=
peal to the interstate commerce COM
mission under the railroads act and
final decision will be with President
Wilson.
Such an increase would be the big
gest in history Of American railways
as the percentage is larger than any
ever sought by the railways under
private management, and would ap
ply alike to the entire country. Both
class and commodity schedules would
be affected.
Rate experts Of the interstate COM
merce commission and railroad ad-
ministration are now at work on
new schedules. Any increases to
be ordered will. be arranged in a
manner to preserve rate relationships
between communities and regions, Of

Germany so wantonly and ruthlessly

industry, and these men have been
especially willing TO give their time
and efforts IN working for increased
production.
Standard poultry, as the phrase is
commonly used in America, is poultry
bred TO the standards established by
the American Poultry association. The
object OF making standards for poultry
is the same as the object Of making
standards Of weight, volume or quail
ity for any product or commodity ;
l. e., to secure uniformity and estab-
fish series of grades as q basis OF
trading in the article.
In making standards for poultry
which apply in the process OF prOduc-
ton, the principal points considered
are size, shape and color.
Size and shape are breed characters
and largely determine the practical
values Of poultry. Many standard
breeds are divided into varieties differ
ing in color but identical in every 9th
er respect. Color is not a primary
utility point, but as q secondary point
often comes in for special considera-
ton For example, q white variety and
black variety OF the same breed are
actually Identical In table quality, but
because black birds do not dress for
the market as clean and nice looking
as white ones, it often happens that
they are not as salabIe.
When a flock OF fowls is kept for
production only, uniformity in color
is much less important than approx
mate uniformity in size and type, yet
the more attractive appearance OF a
flock Of birds OF the same color tusti-
ffes selection for color as far as IL can
be followed without sacrificing any
material point
When a poultry keeper grows his
own stock year after year he should
By all means use stock Of q weII-estab-
ished popular standard breed. By do
ing so and by selecting as breeders
only as many OF the best specimens
OF the flock as are needed to produce
the chickens reared each year, a poul-
try keeper maintains in his flock q
highly desirable uniformity OF excel
lence in every practical quality and,
with little extra care and no extra
cost, can have a pleasing uniformity
in color. To the novice in poultry
keeping it often appears that there
is no real necessity for so many
breeds and varieties as have been
standardized In America. Further ae-
quaintance with them, however, shows
that although color differences are in
most cases merely to please the eyes
OF persons having different prefer
ences for color, the differences in
shape and size which make breed
character have been developed with a
view to adapting each TO particular
uses or particular conditions

time these men go into the fields dur
ing the cool part of the day, when they
can render the greatest service. In
one evening alone 40 men were able to
shock more than 80 acres OF wheat.
Women Cook for Hands.
In Indiana "a towns secured an en-
rollment of 1900 workers to assist in
the harvest OF the wheat and oats crop.
Kansas City, as result of a campaign
during the week of June to 8, en-
listed 10000 workers to assist Kansas
farmers. These workers not only Of
fered their services, but under the di-
rection of the athletic club and the
chamber of commerce took a course Of
training which fitted them and harden
ed them for the severe work they
would be called upon to do on the
farms. In addition to enrolling men,
women were enlisted from the towns
and cities to go TO the country to as
sist the farmers wives in cooking and
caring for this large army of harvest
hands. Forty thousand city people as
sisted Kansas farmers in handling the
wheat.
In the berry district south of Port
land, Ore, a large amount of help is
needed to harvest the crop. The farm
help specialist in Portland enlisted the
services of LOCO women and girls, who
were organized into units and taken
to the district, where they are now
working and aiding in harvesting the
crop in a satisfactory way.
Emergency Labor Organization.
The farm labor administration Of
the Illinois state council OF defense,
in cooperation with workers furnished
by the q. S. department of agricul-
ture, has perfected an emergency farm
labor organization in practically every
county OF the state. Reports from so
counties show more than $4,000 work
ers registered to assist in the harvest.
In the sugar-beet districts of south
ern Michigan, Colorado and Utah many
thousands of workers have been Sc
cured to cultivate this crop and thus
insure large supply of sugar.
In a similar way the other states
have organized and enlisted labor for
the farms and thus meet in a most
admirable way the emergency needs.

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

SFrom the United States Department of
AgricuIture.)
Colts should be housed in dry, SAM
tary quarters, which give fairly warm
protection from winds. Where sew
era1 of the animals are kept togeth-
er it is important to make provision
for the weaker ones and see that they
are not driven away from their feed
by the stronger animals.
The quarters should be kept clean
and well bedded and occasionally
should be disinfected. Lice are to be
suspected when the animals get to
rubbing and lose patches of hair.
Thorough washing with the proper
solutions of cOaI-tar disinfectants will
kill lice. 1t costs money to feed lice,
consequently efforts should be made
to keep them down. The foals should
not stormy: it is harmful, however,
for them to remain out in 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 its relatively high pro-
TEN content it generally is economical
to supplement it 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 viii 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 will add protein and lend
variety. Cottonseed meal should not
be fed to foals. Appropriate grain ra-

tons 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 palatabIe and have a 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 a
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 a good horse. If
stunted during the first winter he
never will 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, palatab1e feed in sufficient
quantity, and shelter from storms.

T0WNF0LK MUST HELP

Though townspeople have al
ready done much in aiding
farmers to harvest their crops
and to do other necessary work,
there is still much to be done
this fall If all the crops raised
by American farmers are to be
saved to supply food and cloth
ing to soldiers and war workers.
Harvesting OF cotton, cane, rice,
late sweet potatoes, and other
crops in the South, and corn,
late Irish potatoes, fruit and
other crops in the North, is yet
to be done and will require the
cooperation of men, women,
boys and girls from cities and
towns to help In the fields and
orchards. Through the active
efforts OF many city and town
organizations In securing neces-
sary help for farmers, the labor
problem has been successfully
solved in many communities,
but there is even greater need
for emergency farm hands in the
future. With organizations well
started, with a better under

people as to their responsible
ties, with public sentiment IA
