Linseed Meal and Corn
a Good Protein Mixture

Some sheep feeders have been re-

a quarter of pound of linseed meal a

STOCK
TROUBLESOME DUTY
IN WEAVING FOALS

! Separating the foal from its dam II
always a troublesome duty In the fall
and all too often the foal suffers 4
setback in the process. The inconven-
ience attending it is aggravated If the
foal has not been taught to eat grain
and measure of grass or green feed
before weaving takes place. That the
foal may develop to the full size and
weight possible to it from its breeding,
generous feeding is imperative, and,
when allowed, weaving at five months
old is no great deprivation to the
youngster. Let the first feed be oat-
meal. This will be taken in small
amounts when the foal is around four
weeks old, and should be provided
from a box so placed that the mare
will not steal the feed. One-sixth to
one-ffth part of wheat bran may be
added when the foal Is six weeks old,
and 1t will then he eating some grass.
When weaving time approaches,
have the mare live without grain, and
reduce the amount of lush grass II
she is a persistent mixer, better let
her go on a closely grazed pasture, OF
feed her dry hay, if other means fail
At weaving do the separating work
once and for all. Letting the foal
back to the mare now and then dur
ing the first week aggravates both
mare and foal. The stale milk may
also cause arrangement of the foal's
digestive system. Allowing it some
times accounts for the fact that
foals coat sheds in patches. That
may also result from letting the foal
take milk from hot, tired, sweating
mare.
Better not let the foal run with
the mare when she is at work on the
road or in the fields. When she comes
in from work strip some of the milk
away and let the mare rest and cool
before the foal sucks. When weaving
has been done strip some of the milk
from the mares udder daily, at in
creasing intervals, until milk secretion
subsidies. Until that is accomplished
withhold rich feed. If there is sign
of Inflammation in the udder, strip the
milk away every hour or two, bathe
persistently with hot water, and now
and then rub in warm camphorated oil.
A good ration for developing draft
foals to be exhibited or sold for breed
ing is composed of ground oats, 60
parts; corn meal, 10 parts; bran, 10
parts, and cut alfalfa or clover hay,
10 parts. Allow foals all of this mix
ture they care to clean up. To other
draft foals give a mixture Of parts
of oats, 2 parts of bran and part OF
linseed meal, along with sound clover
or alfalfa hay. At all times allow
free access to pure water and TO rock
salt or block salt. If the growth Of
bone frame is deficient it is advised
to add to the other feed daily 2 or 3
ounces of tankage containing ground
bone, or 1 ounce of ground bone,
ground rock phosphate (foats) or pre-
cipitated phosphate of lime. On farms
where worms have been prevalent In
foals allow, as a lick, a mixture of
$50 parts of salt, 16 parts of dried
sulphate of iron, II parts of powdered
wood charcoal and s parts of flowers
Of sulphur, from box protected
against rain.

"FooIing" an EUiI Spirit

If you accidentally put on an under
garment wrong side OUT it is said to
be an omen Of good luck. This belief
is held by many people who are en-
tirely free from conscious supersti-
lions. Very old people will tell you
that when they were children old peo-
pie used to say that undergarments
worn wrong side out kept the witches
away according to London Tit-Bits.
This superstition is survival of the
practices by which our barbarian an
cestors sought to ''fooP' evil spirits.
Joined to that was the idea of the evil
eve. BY wearing his garments inside
out a man disguised himself, as it
were. and the evil spirit failed to rec
ocnize him and passed him by.
Also, the evil eye would be attracted
by the slngularity of a garment worn
wrong side out and let its baleful
glance rest upon that instead of upon
its wearer

Limited Amount of Corn
Is Good for Brood SOWS

A limited amount of corn is good
feed for brood sows which are to far
row, but it should form only a small
part of the ration, say agricultural
college live stock authorities. Plenty
of protein feeds such as alfalfa, tank
age, and shorts fed in combination
with grain will insure big, strong pigs
next spring. Oats is good grain feed
for breeding hogs. Salt and plenty of
clean water always should be avail
able. Sows that must get out and
hustle for their feed generally pro
duce rugged filters by virtue of the
exercise which they get in this way.
They must have exercise.
When sows show signs of becoming
too fat the grain end of the ration
should be reduced. A fat SOW is
poor bet at narrowing time. The kind
of feed and the care which the sows
receive from now until narrowing will
determine the strength and rugged
ness of the filters.

News comes Of the catch Of a stur-

Of the Washington "I Remember

Potomac sometimes to the head Of

black, glutinous eggs were numerous

Debt Cancellation.

If the European nations, following
the London conference, want to get
together and discuss among them
selves reduction or cancellation Of the
debts they owe, there can be no pos
sible objection on the part OF the
United States. We may think it would
be unfortunate for the future credit
of the borrowing nations, but if the
lending nations are satisfied it would
distinctly be none Of our concern.
But if they attempt to link up can
collation. Of their debts to each other
States, that is very much another mat
ter. They cannot get very far by dis
cussing cancellation Of their debts to
this country unless the American
Government participates in such dis
cussion, and the only contribution
American representatives could make
to the discussion would be to restate
the already we'll known fact that au-
thority to consider reduction or can
collation. of the debts does not lie with
the executive branch Of this Govern
ment. It would be rather a ridiculous
performance to send representatives
to a conference merely to state that
Congress had laid down terms for ad-
justment Of the debts and created a
commission to conduct the necessary
negotiations.
1t rlay be that some time in the fu-
ture there will have to be change in
the attitude Of this Government with
respect to the billions Of dollars owed
to it by Europe, but that change will
not come about until there has been a
change in the sentiments of the Ameri-
can people. The American people to-
day are disposed toward liberality in
the matter of time and interest rates,
but no considerable body Of them be-
lieves the debts should be Cancelled or
substantially reduced. The European
debt program laid down by Congress
comes about as near representing the
unanimous will Of the American peo-
pie as any measure ever enacted into
law.
1t is rather unfortunate that agita-
ton for conceling the debts owed the
American Government should have
been revived at a time when Europe
is asking for huge loans from the
American people. Professed inability
to pay overdue obligations is not the
best recommendation in the world for
further loans.

While New York. being the largest
port of entry, ranks first as a haven
for deserting sailors, there are Bos-
ton, Norfolk, New Orleans, Seattle.
Frisco and other ports. The process
Is the same in each case. A sailor is
signed up in a foreign port for the
voyage across. The captain pockets
the sailors wages and gets a bonus
of from $50 to 800 to boot.
The embroyo sailor knows nothing
Of the sea. His food is miserable
and the work hard. Kind words are
non-existent The ship arrives at an
American port and the pseudo sailor
is left to shift for himself. He may
have friends and relatives in the
port; he may not. But he is on Amer
lean soil and safe for so days, under
the law. During that time he can
put many miles between himself and
the port Of entry. He can lose him
self completely.
So far as Chinese sailors are con-
cerned, and as a matter of fact, sail
ors of all other barred nations, the
immigration authorities have estab-
lished a rule requiring ship owners
to furnish bond OF $500 for each man
allowed to go on shore. The fact
that more than $4,000 in forfeited
bonds was collected at San Francisco
alone last year indicates the number
of desertions at all our ports. There
is little doubt that ship owners are
reimbursed for these losses by some
one.
Hidden Under Canvas.
A concrete case was that of the
Susie B., a rum-running sailing yes
sci captured off New York. The ves-
sci, a schooner, captained by Tony
Comrado. was boarded by the New
York City marine police seeking
liquor. The captain assured the po-
lice there was no rum aboard, but
the police decided to institute a
search.
In the glare of the flashlights they
went into the hold. There was re-
veafed huge canvas, beneath which
Jumps wriggled suspiciously. In re-

that they had sailed on June Is from
Palermo, Italy, the price for the voy-

Short-Time Parking.

The question of further restricting
automobile parking is before the Dis
trict Traffic Board, the Commissioners
having asked that board for recon.
mendati tons which might correct con-
ditions which seem to be growing
worse and against which there is gen.
eral complaint. Widening Of streets
cannot be carried to the extent Of pro-
viding storage space for cars. 1t
would be unwise to remodel the
ground plan of the city and materially
change the appearance of Washington
for the accommodation Of car owners.
1t might be necessary at some time to
make substantial changes in the plan
Of the city to meet needs of traffic, but
the conditions which are now COM
planned Of are not caused by traffic,
but by standing cars.
A time limit on parking Of cars is
fixed in certain sections Of the city.
In those areas the regulation is ig-
nored by many persons, and those
who find observance Of the regulation
a hardship park their cars outside, but
as near as possible to the restricted
area. They Immediately build up an.
other congested area. The Traffic
Board is considering the question of
putting time limit on parking in all
streets, or at least materially extend
ing the area in which time-limit park
ing will be allowed. One Of the pro.
posals is that hour parking be allowed.
with police action against those park
ers who exceed the limit. That plan
might be tried, and If the downtown
streets and those in the business sec
tons in East, North and West Wash
ington continue to be clogged the time
limit could be reduced
