PROVIDE WATER FOR HORSES
Driver Usually Has Two or More
Refreshing Drinks During Day
but Team Is Neglected.

Walter Moore, a well-known writer,
says: at is common thing for farm
ers to work their horses in the hay
field from morning to night, watering
them only at noon. This is done even
on days of excessive heat. The driver
usually has two or more refreshing
drinks in the middle Of the morning,
and again in the afternoon; but the
horses, who are equally as thirsty, go
without. This want of water is not
only distressing, but it causes tho
horses to drink to excess at noon and
again at night, which often results In
collie, and always tends to produce a
distended stomach, or what farmers
call a hay belly Farmers who would
treat their horses humanely should
take water into the field for them n
hot weather."

A new story of the Red Cross bag

Red Cross commissioner for Europe

from one of the workers in hospital

seen a wounded soldier knows the bag
of gaudy cretOnne with the little Red
Cross in the corner in which each boy
keeps the bit of shrapnel the doctor
dug out of his knee, the last letter
from home, the picture of his girl, his
toothbrush and all his most cherished
possessions. One of the boys in the
Dion hospital had just been presented
with his bag, pink-and-white one. He
accepted it gracefully, then he began

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
Many growers, particularly Ia the
territory where field seeds and crops
are sold commonly by the sack, ask
why the United States department Of
agriculture estimates crop production
by bushel measure instead of by sack
or hundredweight. The reason is that
100000 people in 40 states OF the
Union think, talk and measure by
bushels, the bushel being the standard
unit of measure throughout this area.
The bushel measure is definite, and
congress and the states have stabilized
it and specified the number of pounds
of different commodities legally con-
stttuting a bushel. The census figures
of crop production have all been re.
! duced to bushels for all commodities
for which legal weights have been
used and doubtless will be used until
different unit Of measure has been
adopted.
Sacks Not Standard.
A sack-the unit of measure in some
sections-is not definite and cannot be
made SO, except by legal enactment.
standardizing the volume and then, in
turn, standardizing the weight per
volume for the different commodities.
Oranges and apples are thought about
and talked about in boxes, dried fruits
in pounds or tons, and it is doubtful if
custom will permit of a material
change. In handling green fruits in
large quantities the ton is the most
practical unit of measure, but for
small quantities the lug box is in gen.
eral use. As the lug box varies in size
from 30 to 40 and so to go pounds,
there is more or less confusion unless
market quotations are made on the
basis Of lug boxes of specific sizes.
The central or hundredwelght APP
pears to be the most practical unit of
measure and is coming into general
use in the purchase and sale Of grains
and vegetables. If the bulk handling
of grain becomes general, as now
seems likely, the sack will disappear,
and the central or bushel will take its
place.
5usheI Weights Used.
The following weights per bushel
are used by the United States depart
ment of agriculture in all estimates o.
crop production:
Apples, 4s pounds; beans (dried), 60
pounds; clover seed, go pounds; corn
