 Immediately following the charge several shots were fired from nearby houses and stones and bottles from the outskirts of the crowd The had been ordered in readiness and the shooting commenced the houses from which they immediately surrounded and all persons inside arrested When the officers appeared the streets with their prisoners the mob became lent and but for the strong endorsements is probable that many of the police would have been killed As it is both the strikers and police considerably bruised by the fighting aho the fight terminated in victory for the police

POLES REPORT
 TRENCHES ARE
 NOW PREPARED

PARIS. March 17.--RD-A report from Warsaw says that the German military and civil authorities In up. per Silesia are preparing to resist the Polish and Czech claim on that part of Silesia by force.
 Several miles of trenches have been dug and wire entanglements have been erected In different To- calities. according to the Polish re. port. The despatches also say that volunteers from all parts of Ger. many are mobilizing and that these troops are well armed.
 It Is evident that Germany will make an armed resistance to any attempt on the part of tho Poles or Csechs to occupy upper silesia The preparations being made by Ger many are said to be very elaborate and are carried out to the very minutest detail.
 The German civil and military au. thorities are reported to be colabor. ating on this preparation. altho the belief Is prevalent that an experieue. ed German military oficer has d. rect supervision.

THRASHING SEASON AT HAND
Big Waste of Grain and Loss of Time
Result When Outfits Are
Not Overhauled. N

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Enormous waste of grain and much
loss of time result every thrashing sea-
son because of the inefficient work of
thrashing machines that have not been
thoroughly repaired and put in work
ing condition before the beginning of
the working season. Defective parts
are overlooked, or neglected in the
hope that they will last through the
season. When they fail in the midst
of the thrashing season, serious losses
often result before repairs can be
made. In or just before the thrashing
season new parts are difficult to get
promptly, because of the rush of or
ders from many who have procrasti-
mated.
As soon after the close of the thrash
ing season as possible, says the United
States department of agriculture, the
separator should be overhauled, neces-
sary repairs and adjustments made.
and needed parts ordered. This not
only will prevent loss of time and
money during the next working season,
but will lengthen the life of the ma
chine.
"A bulletin has just been issued. as
No. 5 in the series on Scare and Re
pair of Farm Implements" giving de-
tailed instructions as to how to 'lay
by" grain separators. The discussion
of every part of the machine is minute,
constituting handbook for the over
hauling.and repair of grain separators
between seasons. 1t Is a contribution
from the bureau Of public roads and is
issued as Farmers Bulletin 1896.
Taken in connection with Farmers
Bulletin 991, which treats Of operating
adjustments. 1t is believed to consti-
tute complete thrasherman's guide.

COUNTRY WAYS IN THE CITY
Would Be Well If More DweIIers in
Crowded Places Kept Them
in Their Minds.

There is at least one thing about
cities that Is all wrong and deeply
to be deplored. That thing Is their
heedlessness, which too often amounts
to cruelty.
1t is to be feared that people who
dwell in large towns permit them
selves to become unfeeling and I'M
neighborly. They lose their sympathy
for the sick and grow callous to even
the presence of death ITSELF How
many old friends we all have who
have lately been very i'll. Well, we
never, even called to see them. How
many old friends have died and we
did. not even go to their funerals.
The thing for folks who live in cities
to do is to keep in their hearts the gem
tie customs that they learned in the
country. There is no real reason why
we should permit the. town to take
from us the things which make life
gentle and sweet and beautif~l.-Los

How Tunnel Workers Are Warned.

A tunnel of the Metropolitan rail-
way in London, which much Of the
time is filled with smoke or steam, has
been equipped for its 2,200 feet of
length with an iron tube for giving no.
tice of the approach of trains, the
tubes to be agitated so as to produce
a noise, by means of treadles, and be-
ing so arranged that it can be out of
service when no men are at work in
the tunnel. 1t was found that horns
or gongs could be heard not over 700
feet in clear atmosphere and much
shorter distance when the atmosphere
was filled with smoke or steam. A
galvanized iron tube, of about three
quarters inch, internal diameter, is
hung along the side of the tunnel at
the height of a mans head, and as
trains approach or enter the tunnel
this pipe is caused to yibrate in such
way that it can be heard through it's
length.

with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.

Heavy Work Need Ration High Percentage Grain

prepared by the Ja1teG States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
There Is much more to feeding old
Dobbin than simply giving him little
corn and oats and then allowing him to
fill up on whatever kind Of hay is avail
able. Close observation is needed more
in feeding horses than any other class
of live stock. Horses of the same
weight may have different feed require
ments which make it necessary to
study the individuality of the animals.
If the horse is not doing well on a
ration a slight change should be made,
but an abrupt change may cause diges-
tive disturbances.
To furnish energy for work, the
horse must be fed in excess of what
is needed for bodily maintenance. The
amount of feed needed for mainte-
nance is about two-thirds of that re-
quired for horse doing moderate
work. If the work calls for more en-
ergy than that in the ration, the stored
up energy of the. body fat, or other
body tissues, will be drawn upon with
a consequent loss in body weight and
energy. If such feeding is continued,
the horse will be so weakened that he
will be unable to perform his work
profitably, and also will be especially
liable to disease.
No Universal Feed.
No feed or combination of feeds will
meet conditions in all parts of the
country, and no feed or mixture is suit
able for all classes of horses. In choos-
ingia ration for horse, select the one
that meets his requirements, whether
for growth. maintenance, work, breed
ing or fattening. Then estimate the
amount of feed needed, and try cut
the ration. 1t may then appear that
too little is being fed, or that the ra-
ton may be changed somewhat for
economy or efficiency. If a number
of horses are kept, different rations
may be tested on different animals,
and the best one. selected for general
use, but individual feeding gives the
best results.

Too Busy.


A new suit of clothes was bought for
Alfred, age nine, so that he might look
as well as all the other boys in his
Sunday school class. His other suit
was good enough to wear to town and
to visit his relatives, but not to go to
church. SO very expensive suit was
bought. And with the suit he got a
ball and bat
Mother carried the suit home and
Alfred carried the ball and bat. He
was swinging it from side to side
when he suddenly said: "You can take
the suit and hat back if you want to,
mother. Now since I've gotten this bali
and bat I'll probably be too busy
Sunday mornings to go to Sunday
school any MORE"
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1919-05-23

an excessive amount must be con-
sumed in order that the system may
secure the required amount of protein,
and waste of feed will be the result.
It is essential, therefore, to use bal
anced ration-0ne containing protein
and carbohydrates such proportion
that they will meet the animals need
without waste.
More Grain for Light Horses.
Horses Of the light breeds, used for
pleasure or racing, need more grain
and less hay than do horses doing slow
or heavy work. Oats easily rank first
among the feeds for light horses, and
may be supplemented with crushed or
soaked barley and bran. Corn is too
fattening to constitute the bulk of the
concentrates for light horses. 1t may
be used, however, If supplemented with
linseed meal or bran. A mixture of
one Of the leguminous hays, such as
alfalfa or clover, fed with timothy or
other hay will furnish the roughage. A
larger quantity Of hay should be al
lowed for horses less actively employ
ed. and should be fed mostly at
night. One pound Of hay and from
one to one and one-fourth pounds
of grain to 100 pounds of live weight
will be sufficient for such light horses
at moderate work.
The quantity Of feed for the work
horse depends on the amount of work
and on the speed at which it is per-
formed; horse requires considerably
more feed when working at the trot
than at the walk. 1t is a good rule
to allow IL pounds Of grain and one
and one-fifth pounds of hay to
every 100 pounds live weight for horses
at moderate weight. At this rate a
1,200-pound horse would require IS
pounds of grain and 141s pounds of
hay day. If the work is severe, the
quantity of grain should be increased.
The horse at hard work requires one
and one-fourth to one and one-third
pounds of grain for 100 pounds live
weight. The hay, however, should not
be more than one and one fourth pounds
for an equal amount of live weight.
