NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Unsettle-
me11t prevailed again in today's
bond market, and declines were. in
evidence in most sections of the
list. Foreign issues were particular
v affected, resulting from the weak
ness in the foreign exchanges.
French government TVS fell to a
new low to 9O&, a loss of about 1
point, and French SIS registered a
fractional decline at 94N.
Speculative rails were irregular.
Traction bonds were lower, with
Brooklyn Rapid Transit rs certifi-
Gates losing nearly points at SO.
Bonds of industrial corporations
were generally firm. United States
Government bonds were active and
slightly lower.
The new 800. 200, 900 Anaconda
s per cent bonds offered today by
the Morgan syndicate were quickly
over subscribed.

FAVOR FLUSHING EVE FLOCK
Dropped Within Comparatively
Short Period In Spring.

When the eve flock is gaining In
weight rather than losing at the breed
ing season. they will come In heat
more nearly at the same time and
should breed within three or four
weeks This is big advantage In the
spring for then the lambs will all be
dropped within a comparatively short
period and careful attention can prof
itably be given the flock at that time
When ewes are in gaining condition
they drop more twins. This has been
proven time after time on the western
range where the lamb crop Is largely
determined by conditions at the breed
Ing season.
With the beginning Of cool weather,
healthy ewes will have a better appe-
tite and II feed is provided will nat
urally gain in weight. Ten days be-
fore the ram II to be turned into the
mock the ewes should be given a little
grain-about half 4 pound a day-or
else have the run Of a good pasture.
Chopped pumpkins and rape make eI-
cellent stimulating feeds at this sea-
son.

CARE FOR IDLE WORK HORSE
Revehaoss Furnish Large Amount sf
gnsroy and Are Cheaper Than
Concentrates.

Economical feeding says J. q.
Fuller Of the animal husbandry depart
ment Of the University Of Wisconsin,
''is the important thing in caring for
the idle work horse during the winter
months. Roughage such as hay. corn
stovsr and straw, furnish g .:-ss
amount Of net energy. They are usual
ly far cheaper feeds than the concen-
trates. and when they are Of sufficient
ly good quality, the animals may be
maintained on these feeds alone.
Next to feeding. sufficient exercise
and proper shelter are most important
The Arabs have a saying, Rest and fat
are the greatest enemies of the horse.
The horse Is par excellence the crea-
ture of motion, and in its feeding and
management this fact should always
be kert In mind. A mature horse
should receive regular exercise, travel
ing not less than FIVE or six miles per
day to maintain health. Horses can
be turned into the pasture until 1t

and then into the yard 80 that they
may have exercise. Cool, well-venti-

warm, close stables. In all cases
horses must be protected from drafts
and extreme weather.
"f good quality rougha ges are NOT

event." says Mr. Fuller, mo more than
one-half a work ration should be given
which ordinarily ranges from 5 to

SERVICE ON D. & R. G. W.
NOnCEABLY IMPROVED

7 The new administration of the Den
yer & Rio Grande under the receiver
ship Of T. H. Beacon. has resulted in
a very decidedly better service in all
parts OF the line. This has been ap-
parent at Delta and throughout Delta
county as we'll as in other places.
Never before have stock cars been 80
quickly obtained or refrigerator cars
available when needed, as has been
the case this fan. It is true that the
passenger service is yet far from per-
Hculties to overcome and really has
accomplished great things. The new
schedule which went into effect Oct.
7th is more easily carried out and 1t
10 hoped will be more satisfactory.
On October lat, according to state
intendent of transportation, they
had assembled more than 100 per cent
Of their ownership and had been able
to meet all requirements without a
shortage. $50 standard gauge coal
cars were in storage on that date
awaiting business, and it was expect
ed that there would be no serious
shortage in that line Some shortage
OF narraw-gauge coal cars has been
experienced, but as new material is
constantly being released, this is only
temporary.
During July, August and September,
6214 cars OF fruits and vegetables
were loaded as compared with 5651
during the same period last year, and
in that time a full supply Of refriger-
ator cars were always available.
Stock shippers have also been able to
get cars when needed. On the first
OF the month a daily average Of 254
stock cars had been booked so it was
anticipated that a slight shortage may
be felt. Cooperation of shippers would
assist materially, that is, if shippers
would give ample notice both of time
cars would be needed and Of neces.
sary cancellations.
Altogether, the Rio Grande has
shipped 1906 cars of various com
modities in 1928, compared with
13SO55 in 1922 and 126731 in 1921, an
increase OF 17.6 per cent during the
past two years.

cause America was "the first to detect"
the danger in the League covenant which
is "tangibly demonstrated" in the present
