I like army ike O. X. and it has

5000 men at one kitchen. That is feed

that. but they can take about 1880,
examine them and when they come out
at the end of the building they will
have new outfits and be ready to go

what do you think Of that for speed?
That is what we call going through the

If you were here you would laugh at

Dear Folks at Home.
Just received my first mail this
morning since / left Camp Custer.
which is some time ago. Well I sure
was glad to get these letters, even IL
they were written some time in July.
It IS news for me from home just
the same. l got George Mayors let
ter. Hugh's and the rest were from
you and Julia.
Well. the weather over here IS about
the same-coo1 and rainy. We had a
light snow which looked more like
frost than snow. I guessed we viii
get snow enough In about a month.
See by one OF Julia's letters that Char
lie has left for Camp. Wen 1 suppose
she hates to see him sc. because she
thought a lot of him. She gave me
the address OF Charlie. but writing
paper is so scarce here one is In luck
he gets to write one letter a
week. instead Of half a dozen.
After we got our mail this morning
they issued us this writing paper. If
III would not be for this issue. don't
know where ! would get paper to
write with. They send mail each sun
day from our Company, but / have
had no paper to write on. so did not
send but one letter.

URGE HOME MARKET
FOR HOME PRODUCE

Homegrown Food for Home Tables"
is being urged as patriotic conserva-
ZION action by the u. S. Food Admins
tration for Wisconsin upon all private
households and upon Wisconsin no.
tells, clubs and other eating places.
This measure begins a campaign to
create a home market for foods grown
in the state. 1t will show how food
labor, and freight may be conserved
through the use of local foods.
One of the greatest problems in our
domestic food situation is transporta-
ton. Never before has there been
such a congestion as will take place
during this month and December. BY
buying food produced by our local
communities, the strain upon our rail
road facilities is lightened.

MORE SUGAR IS ALLOTTED

More sugar is allotted to Wisconsin
for December as a result of the i'm
provement in the world sugar situa-
ton. The signing of the armistice en-
ables US 10 get sugar from distant
ports.
Beginning December first, four
pounds a month will be allowed each
person and four pounds for every 80
meals to public eating places.
Manufacturers of Glass A, including
makers of candy, soft drinks, chew
ing gum, etc, will be given twice as
much sugar in December as they re-
CeiVed in November They had been
reduced to SO per cent of the amount
they used during the corresponding
months in 1917. Now they will have
the same sugar supply that they con-
sumed in those months in 1917.
Sweet milk condensaries will be
permitted to have full requirements of
sugar, and new condensaries will be
granted permission to start and to re-
ceiye an allotment of sugar All re-
strictions with reference to the use
of sweetened condensed milk by con
fectioners, ice cream manufacturers
and others, are removed.
Bakers of Glass d will also be given
an increase in sugar so that they will
have the same amount as they used
during corresponding period in 1917.

PEACE ENDS FIGHTING
BUT NOT FOOD SAVING

Is your wish TO eat greater than
your ideals?
Our Allies, and 1S0,000,000 starving
peoples on the eastern front who need
our help must have large shipments of
food sent to them. They cannot even
plant crops until next spring.
Now that tka war is over, we will
save food still we will save even
more because we can reach more peo-
pie.
A clean plate means a clean con-
science-if it isn't piled too high.
Over-eating is cheating. Order light
meal-eat it all Saving food is saw
ing lives from starvation.
Can you waste food when you rea-
lie that?
Don't celebrate peace by making
others suffer. That's a poor kind of
a celebration.
The, less you eat the less they hun
GER Help them out.

WHEAT SUBSTITUTE
RULE IS REMOVED
RESULT OF PEACE RELEASING
SHIPS FOR CARRYING
GRAIN
No Substitutes Need Be Used With
Wheat FIour-WiII Guard Against
Hoarders and Profiteers.

With the war over, all regulations
requiring the use of substitutes are
abolished by the U. S. Food Admins
tration for Wisconsin, and white
bread made of wheat only may now
be eaten.
Hotels, homes and bakers, may now
purchase wheat -four without being
compelled to buy and use one pound
of substitutes for each four pounds of
-four But the wheat loaf should be
eaten sparingIy, however, and the
conservation of all foods continued.
Plans are now being worked out to
care for the stock of substitute cere-
ais which millers or wholesalers have
bought before November r. Under
tn" new program the coarse grains
will be used primarily for animal
feeds.
Result of Peace.
The suspension Of the wheat rules
has been brought about by the signing
Of peace with Germany and Austria.
Merchant vessels are now released
from military service for transporting
the large wheat crops which have
been held in India, South America and
Australia. The Mediterranean route,
which was formerly closed by the
war, may now be safely used by the
cargo ships for bringing food to re
lieVe our shortage.
No Profiteers.
Hoarding OF food and profteering
upon staples will be suppressed Wher-
ever found. All cases must be re-
ported to the State Food Administra-
ton, and measures will then be taken
to stop it.
The Fair Price Fixing Committees
will do their share to prevent profit
eering by determining reasonable
prices for foods and publishing them
In newspapers for consumers to read
before shopping at grocery stores

KEEP YOUNG HORSE GROWING
Good Practice, When Not Carried to
Extremes, to Allow Colts to Rough
u In Winter.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricuiture)
Colts that are kept growing make
the best horses. Some farmers allow
their young horses to trough It"
through the winter and, although this
Is a good practice when not carried TO
extremes, II the feeder is not careful
II may give the colt a setback which
permanently retards its development.
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 protein
content 1t generally is economical to
supplement it with other roughage such
as timothy, mixed hay. or corn fodder.
Besides lending variety TO the ration
such method of feeding alfalfa would
offset any likelihood Of kidney or
bowel Irregularities. Sheaf oats can
be used to good advantage to supple
ment other roughage. The animals
should not be allowed to gorge them
selves on dry feed. Tney should be
given only what they will clean up
readily, but ut the same time enough
feed should be supplied. Oats, corn
and peas, preferably fed ground. are
suitable grains. Bran, oil meal or glu-
ten feed win add protein and lend varl-
ETY.. 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 palatable and have a cooling eff

quantity of feed generally should be
regulated by the appetite, although &C.

casionally the appetite may be too raw
enous to be 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 exer-
else are essential for the proper de-
velopment Of young horses. Idleness
succeeding exercise will cause consti-
patton. 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 as much TO make
Of him good horse. If stunted during
the first winter he never will gain
proper size and shape.
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 In
creased somewhat, tho colt tied up in
IFS stall and handled II Guently, Edu-
cation by gentle and careful but firm
at this age will save later
much strenuous labor.
