MEDIUM AND HEAVY HORSES
Market Preferences Are Now for
 Drafters and Southern Chunks, According to Reports.

CPrepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Although horses on farms slightly decreased in number in the United States in 1918, this general fact is by no means true in all sections. It Is true in the North from the Atlantic Ocean to Iowa and Missouri, and on the Pacific coast, but the reverse is the fact in one-half of the South, and in nearly the whole region between the Mississippi river and the coast states. except Iowa, Missouri, Arkan- sas, Texas, and Oklahoma.
 In the North and in the Pacific states the kind of horse that is pre- ferred on and off farms is changing. The automobile owner does not want a driving horse and the farmer with an automobile does not need a dual purpose horse-a work animal that will also serve as road horse. Me dium and heavy draft horses are the new requirements.
 This tendency is reflected in prices. In the Chicago market the mean price of draft horses rose from $171 in the five years, 19O1-1905, to $213 In 1914. The mean price declined in the early period of the war to S205 in 1915, but ascended to $252 in 1916, fell to $212 in 1917, and recovered to $220 in 1918, or 29 per cent above the mean price of the five years, 1901-1905. The class of horses known in. the Chicago mar ket as general" had the mean of $143 in the first five years of the century and reached as high a mark as $165 in 1913, but the mean for 1918 was $152, or 6 per cent above that of the five years.
 Carriage teams and drivers are small features of the market. There is little demand for them and the supply core spends. However, showy carriage teams sold for $500 to $10,0O0 in 1918. "Bussers and trammers" have been fully out of the market for sev- eral years.
 The active southern demand for the southern chunks" sent the mean price in Chicago from $61 in the five years 19O1-19O5 to sos in 1913, followed by $SS in 1915, s1O9 in 1916, $93 In 1917, and $90 in 1918, a gain of 45 per cent in 15 years.
 Hence, in the vicissitudes of pref erence and unpopularity in the various sections of the country, on farms and of, the average price of a horse on farms in the United States, all ages

Plenty of exercise for the SOW is important if healthy pigs are desired.
 H.H Rape will make a good hog pasture earlier than anything else we can SOW in the spring.
 The outlook for live stock raising Is brighter than that of raising crops to be sold before the farmers profit can be had.
 As soon as the pigs will eat, which is usually at four or five weeks of age, they should be fed separately from their dam.

FEED oAT STRAW TO HORSES
Gives Nearly as Good Results in Feed ing Animals at Light Work
 as Timothy Hay.

Oat straw gave nearly as good re- suits in feeding horses at light work as timothy hay, according to an experi- ment at the Missouri experiment sta ton. In each case ], 1,400-pound horses were fed 15 pounds corn and cob meal and one and two-thirds pounds oil meal daily. At the North Dakota ex- pertinent station it was found that horses when fed oats or bran and shorts needed about a fourth more grain feed when fed oat straw than when given upland prairie hay.

that Congress stands ready at any
time to co operate, but as long as
the administration is opposed to

Thus, it will be seen that it is up

Minneapolis Journal.
AS long as the Indian Bureau
is opposed to opening the Red
Lake Indian reservation,'' no leg
islalion can be expected in that
direction. Thus it will be seen
that the most monumental political
farce of the century, the Indian
Bureau, has heretofore, and is
now, hampering and obstructing
the qualified stipulation of the
Legislation of 1889, better known
az the Nelson Bill, viz: the aliot-
ment in severalty to said Red Lake
Indians in conformity to said bill,
and placing on the market the
surplus land of the said reserva-
ton ''not otherwise needed for
allotments" for sale and settle
ment, and that all moneys accruing
from the sale of timber and agri-
cultural lands thereof to be placed
TO the credit of said Minnesota
Chippewas." The sinister and
contemplate purpose of the In
dian Bureau 10 its insistent opposi-
ton to the allotment of land in
severalty to the Rid Lake 1ndiane, :"
in accordance with the provisions
of the said Nelson Bill, and which
law required that said allotment
should have proceeded Immediately
or ''as soon as the census had been
taken and the REIMBURSEMENT had

the obvious reasons are that if the

had been permitted to proceed in
strict accordance to law the allot
ments to the Minnesota Indians
would long ago have been CON-
pleted and the Indian Bureau, as
far as the said Minnesota Chip
pewas were concerned, would have
been OUT OF BUSINESS. The
continued delay of alloting the
Red Lake Indians is a monstrous
injustice to the general interests,
morally and otherwise, of the
Minnesota Chippewas, costly and
detrimental and without warrant
or color of law. And it is to be
hoped that Congress will take
early and radical steps to abolish
this long continued wrong, not
only against the Chippewas proper
but progressive civilization in
general, even to abolishing the

The aged negro had been in ill

was suffering from premature old age.
The body was removed to Higgins

was employed in local livery stables
for years. So far as is known he has
