SCIENTIFIC FEEDING is BEST
Supply Food In Right Proportions to
Meet Requirements Without Waste
of Nutrients.

To supply food in the right proper
tion to meet the various requirements
Of the animal without waste of food
nutrients, constitutes scientific feeding.
1t is by carefully studying the compo-
sition Of feeding stuhfs. the proportion
In which they are digested by differ
ent animals and under different condi-
lions, and the requirement of ami
mails for the various food nutrients
when at rest, at work. giving milk, pro-
ducing wool, mutton, beef. pork. etc,
that the principles of feeding have
been worked out. In applying these
principles in practice the cost and spe-
cial adaptations OF different feeding
stufrs must, of course, be taken into
account.

SHY AT REGISTERED CATTLE
Poor Appearance Of Some Of Get OF
Pure-Bred Bulls Tend to Discour-
age Small Breeders.

One of the biggest reasons today why
more farmers are not raising regis

have seen the get of some registered
bulls which they have observed are
not much better, If any better, than
some calves sired by good grade bull
If more breeders of registered cattle
would use the knife as needed, instead
of sending out scrub pedgreed bulls
just because they can put the papers
on them, there would be more satisfied
little breeders and eventually more
satisfied big breeders.

ANIMALS
SOUND QUALITIES OF HORSE
First Consideration of Buyer and
Breeder Should Be Soundness-Ex-
anime Thoroughly.

The soundness of a horse Is one of
the first considerations of the buyer
and should be of the breeder, accord
ing to the United States department of
agriculture. If the animal is not sufii-
GENTLY sound TO withstand the use for
which he is intended, the logical time
TO learn of this is before the purchase.
Selection must be based primarily
on a thorough, systematic examina-
ton; the examination should be based
on clear knowledge of desirable and
undesirable qualities.
Not only the presence of unsound-
ness, but also the condition or serious
ness of the unsoundness should be
noted.
Temporary unfitness should be dis
tinguished from permanent unsound-
ness.
A hurried examination is likely to
prove disappointment.
Observe blemishes, vice, faulty con-
formation, unsoundness and general
characteristics.
Common blemishes are scars from
old wounds, poll evil, scratches, shoe
boils, and small ruptures.
Common vices are halter pulling,
cribbing, kicking, stall walking. weav-
ing, and biting.
Common faults of conformation are
straight shoulders. crooked, weak, or
improperly set legs, eve neck, long.

Common unsoundnesses are splints,

A Chinese New Year custom is for

door gods are pasted upon the doors,
consisting of colored prints of the re-
puted likenesses of two great warriors
of ancient times. who were supposed
TO be defenders not only of the coun-

LIVE STOCK NOTES

One of the biggest drawbacks to the
sheep industry is the stomach worm.
Pigs that have not been yaccinated
should not be placed on infected prem
ises.
Prolonged confinement upon a con
crete or dry board floor often induces
foot-sore lameness in heavy hogs.
The best results come in keeping
the young calf in a clean place in the
barn until about three months old.
Sheep ticks cause great annoyance
to sheep of all ages, but more espe-
cially TO the lambs after the older
sheep have been shorn. In extreme
cases they cause loss In body weigbt.

"BULSHEVlKS" OF LIVE STOCK
New Title Applied by Wisconsin Farm
er to the Reactlonaries of
Bovine Society.

From a farmer in Wisconsin comes
a new word for use in the Better
Sires-Better Stock" campaign now
being carried on by the United States
department of agriculture in co-opera-
ton with state and local agencies. He
applies new title to the reactionaries
of bovine society, and cites the in
dubitabe fact that scrub bulls are the
enemies of good production; that they
levy upon the milk, cream and butter
checks and compel the farmer to keep
cows, where the cows should keep the
farmer.
With these charges in mind and
with his eyes on the international
situation. this farmer suggests that
the scrub bulls be known hereafter as
the bulsheviks.

A S THE midwinter holiday season "A approaches, one inevitably con-
 siders whether her wardrobe is entirely adequate to each and every oc- casion. In fact, adequate is hardly enough; it should be utterly charming, filled to the brim with those intriguing, soul-satisfying frocks and accessories which insure successful evening.
 For in the holiday season one should be gay, undisturbed by the question of frocks having an unlimited number from which to select and in which to go forth radiant for each event. It is said that noble characters rise above frocks, but what woman is there among us, noble or otherwise, who does not feel a glowing inner joy over becoming frock? That is part of the charm of being a woman, to achieve this certain assurance and satisfaction when one is clad in a cos tune which gives pleasure to others. A Myriad of Pleasing Temptations
 So the wise and the charming will do well now to collect busily sufficient number of pleasing gowns in which to greet the midwinter Of temptations there is no end. In the houses of fash ion, irresistible manikens float by, each undulating step revealing the charm of the evening gowns,
 It would be incorrect to state that any fabric prevails-just as 1t would be non sense to declare that women with dark brown hair are favored for tho winter. Materials, just as do types of women, exist in alluring variety to delight each individual and to fashion her own par- tieular froek,
 Yet of all the myriad of fabrics which are shown, none Is more perslstently accepted than Is velvet-velvet in all its infinite charm of texture and of pat tern, Leading are the chiffon veivets which drape so inimitably in the simple types of frock which so strongly suggest the Greek classic, Silk velvets, unpat. termed, are rather more used for late afternoon costumes, while those richly broeaded in silver OF gold are amang the most luxurious fabrics for the evening.

The declaration of Viscount lshii,

the whole, the attitude which Japan
will take with regard to the zap ques-
ton.
Disposition of the cables, he as
serted, Is Il matter for settlement by
the international conference on COM
munications, but Japan may make con-
cessions concerning the Guam line to
the extent of handing over to America
the Guam end. Japan, however, would
continue to hold the zap end by virtue
of her sovereignty over the island.
Prima facie title TO the cable was
obtained by Japan during the war, he
maintained, when Japan cut the zap

United States, Great Britain and

piled Japan was not in II position to
speak definitely until such an invita-

LITTLE NATIONS ARE
WARNED BY HUGHES
CESSATION OF POSSIBILITIES DE-
MANDED IN FIRST ACTION
BY NEW GOVERNMENT.
Suggestion Of Mediation Is Conveyed
TO Panama and Costa RIGA
In Warning Issued by
Secretary of State.

Washington. Cessation of hostlli.
ties between Costa Rlca and Panama
is demanded in notes which, It was
learned at the state department, had
been dispatched on March to the
governments Of those two countries by
Charles f. Hughes, new secretary OF
state.
This action was the first OF the
Harding administration I'm the realm
of foreign affairs and was said TO
have been based on the ground of
broad expediency, as the dispute be-
tween the Central American republics
involved American interests in the
Panaman canal zone.
A peaceful solution of the dispute
over Coto on the basis of the White
award Is understood to have been sug-
gested. The notes did not suggest
mediation by the United States, but
were understood to have conveyed the
Impression that this country stood
ready to enforce, If necessary, peace
full solution.
Dispatch of the notes followed con-
ferences between President Harding,
Secretary Hughes and John w. Weeks
and Edwin DENLY, new secretaries of
war and navy. Mr.. Hughes took up
the subject of the dispute with Under
secretary Davis Immediately after his
induction into office and later spent
nearly two hours with Mr.. Harding.
Secretary Weeks was called in soon
after the conference began and pre-
scented latest dispatches from the
canal zone. Mr.. DENLY discussed the
question later with the president.
Replies from Panama and Costa
Rlca to the notes dispatched several
days ago by former Secretary Colby
were received Sunday. That from
Panama was said to have expressed a
willingness to accept the offer of the
United States in attempting to settle
the dispute, but the one from Costa
Rica was described as unsatisfactory.
1t was said that the American gov
eminent had no official information
that either Panama or Costa Rica in
tended to submit the dispute to the
league of nations, as reported In press
dispatches. Saturdays action of the
state department, IL was added, was
taken without reference to such re-
ports
