u. S. WARSHIPS
ARE WITHDRAWN
WAR VESSELS IN TAMPIco AND
VERA CRUZ HARBoRS
RECALLED
BLOCKADE IS LIFTED
MEXICAN REBELS ABANDON At
TEMPT TO BLOCKADE
SEAPORTS

Washlngton.-Tenslon over the Mex
lean situation appeared to have been
completely relaxed when the State De-
partment announced that American
war vessels ordered to Vera Cruz and
Tampico were already in process of
being withdrawn from Mexican wa
ters since the rebel leaders had
abandoned their attempted blockade
of Tampico, and had ordered mines re-
moved from the harbors under their
control.
With this compliance with the de-
mands of the Washington government,
the De la Huerta leaders have with
drawn all threats against the contin-
ued movement of peaceful American
commerce, and the occasion for send
ing the ships has passed.
Unless American lives and property
should again be jeopardized, it Is un-
likely that the Washington govern
ment will take any further action than
to continue to make sales of war mu-
nitions to Obregon. Secretary Weeks
has approved the sale of an odd lot of
spare parts for airplanes and a num-
ber of bombs.
Consul Wood reported from Vera
Cruz that De la Huerta had ordered
that ample guarantees be extended for
protection of American lives and prop
erty in the region about Tampico, and
that the oil industry be permitted TO
resume operations. a message from
Tampico later said the oil companies
actually had been granted such per-
mission.

Three Killed as Locomotive Explode.

Aliquippa.-Three persons, includ-
ing the fireman and engineer, were
killed when locomotive on the Pitts
burg & Lake Erie train No. II, en-
route from Pittsburg to Cleveland,
blew up 800 yards west of the station
here. The force of the explosion
lifted the locomotive 100 yards off the
rails and left it mass of wreckage
in the yards of the Jones & Laughlin
Steel plant, bordering the tracks.

Tacoma, Wash.-Thriving American
cities on the shores of the Arctic ocean
in direct touch with the rest of the
world are within the realm of possi-
bility and will probably be the out

the polar regions this summer, accord

Denver-Colorado scored at least a

Washington ordered a rehearing on the
proposal, which it authorized last
month, and set Jan. 20 as the date for
the reconsideration.

In Cattle Feeding Make
Full Use of All Feed

With corn and cattle selling any
where near present prices the man who
expects to pull any profit out of cat
tie feeding operations must reckon
with every factor of cost, and make
the fullest use possible of all feed
grown on his own farm. This means
he must economic on corn, and that
straw and other roughage must re-
place to greater extent other stuff,
which is usually purchased. This
does not mean, of course, that one can
fatten cattle upon half of the usual
ration of corn, but it does mean that
much more straw and other roughage
should be made to help out the corn.
Many feeders do not use straw at all,
except for bedding purposes. Former
~ the custom was to carefully stack
all straw and during the winter feed
ing season keep racks well filed with
it; in fact straw was the sole rough
age in many feed yards: Straw has
its limitations as dry roughage, but
fattening cattle will make good use of
an astonishing amount Of nice, sweet
straw, and this will save more ex-
pensive hay and enable one to make
the fullest use Of legume hays in re
placing costly concentrates.
1t costs something to produce straw,
and on many farms it is not given a
very high value in rarions for any
kind of stock. Stacks are left to rot
down, entailing a loss of fully one
half of its organic value. It makes
good ''flling." We are not only vast
ing too much, but snany are selling too
much straw. Those who intend to
carry over stockers will find good use
for every load of straw, and every
other ton of roughage on the farm
should be used to reduce the amount
of corn fed. Let's make the corn stalk
fields and the straw stacks help carry
other than fat stock through the early
winter.

Comfortable Place for
Sow Is Quite Essential

At least a week before the sow is
due to farrow, she should be placed in
the quarters where she is to farrow
her litter. This is important for the
number of pigs which SOW will save
depends very largely upon her being
quiet when she farrows If she is not
given a chance to become accustomed
to her quarters before she is due to
farrow, she may be very restless and
discontinued, constantly getting up
and down and, as often happens when
sows are placed in new quarters just
before narrowing, she may break out
and go back to the place she has been
quartered to make her bed and farrow
her litter.

Most Economical to Keep
All Young Stock Growing

The colt or calf that is not allowed
to stop growing during its first winter
has a big advantage over the one that
gets poor and loses weight. For this
reason the horse in which size is
such an important factor in deter
mining its market value, or the calf
to be sold or used for feeding pur-
poses must be we'll wintered and kept
growing all the time. The calf used
for beef making is also probably the
most profitable which is not allowed to
lose it's calf fat, but is made into baby
beef by good. feeding during the first
winter and into the following spring
and summer.
The feeding of baby beef, however,
is too nearly the job of an expert for
the average farmer. But if the calves
are to be wintered and grazed the
next summer and then fed during the
second winter, it is still probably
most economical to keep them grow
ing the first winter on the right sort
of homegrown feeds. Such stock
should. also have a fair allowance of
silage and all the legume hay they
will consume. If they have no silage,
then the legume hay is all the more
necessary. With a fair allowance of
silage and all the legume hay they
will eat a small grain ration will keep
their frames growing and prevent their
losing weight. That is, the amount of
gain desired will determine the amount
of concentrates to be given, but as a
rule, if they are to go on good pas
ture the next summer to be finished
the following winter, only enough con-
centrates to keep them gaining just
a little may be found most economical.
1t is well to allow all young stock
to exercise on fine days during the
winter in a sheltered yard or shed.
The important matter in young grow
ing animals is that they receive feeds
rich in protein, like the legumes and
oil meals, and that they be well sup
piled with mineral matter or ash.
The protein is best supplied by
legumes grown on the place, the min
eral matter from ashes, acid phos-
plate or air-slaked lime or by mix
ture of equal parts of all these and
common salt, kept in boxes under shell
ter where the stock can go to it at
will.
