Heard.

Arguments in Ave suits. involving
the right of the Railroad and Wire
Administrations to fix rates over the
objections Of the various State utility
and corporation commissions. were
heard in the United States Supreme

The attack on the Railroad Admin

eral OF Railroads. did not have the
right to set "intrastate'' rates. but

CHEAP RATI0Ns FOR HORSES
Animals Performing Hard Work May
Be Given Straw and Corn Slower
In Limited Quantities.

prepared by the United. States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Cheap feeds, such as straw and corn
slower, 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 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 a pound of such rough
age, and in maintaining a hard-work-
ing animal too great a bulk of feed
would necessarily be taken into the
body. It is therefore desirable to COM
bine with a limited quantity Of slower
or straw sufficient legume hay, grain,
or other nutritious feed to meet the in
dividual requirements of the horse.
A small portion of some laxative feed,
such as silage, roots, bran, or alfalfa,
may well be included in a ration CON
tanning a large proportion Of corn
slower Or straw.
Cottonseed meal has met with con
siderable disfavor among horse feed
ers, but it may be fed in limited guam
titles if due care is exercised. It is
