Barron, refusing to accompany
the band, was seized by two Of
the masked figures and forced to
mount one of the horses behind
a klanSman.
After the whipping, a volley

warned some time ago that he
would be punished by the klanS'
men if he again struck his wife.

Poultry Raisers Save
Money by HOme-Mixing

Poultry raisers who grow grain and
who wish to feed at the lowest cost
can save considerable money by mix
ing their own mashes and scratch
feeds, says A. @. Smith, poultry chief
at Minnesota University farm. Per-
sons not having mills undoubtedly
could arrange with local dealers to
grind their grains, which when mixed
in the proper proportions and supple
mented with the proper amount OF ami
NAL and mineral matter will provide
satisfactory rations at the lowest pos
sible cost.
Complete directions for mixing lay
ing mashes may be obtained by writ
ing the poultry division, University
farm, st. Paul, MINI.
Dairy farmers with an abundance
of skimmilk from creameries also may
secure from the poultry division in
formation on how to use by-products
to the best advantage with their lay
ing focks.

Early Horseback Riders
Disdained the Saddle

Ancient Greeks rode bareback or
used a SaddleclOth. Even the sad
dlecloth does not appear to have
been used until the Fifth century.
Xenophon says that the saddleclOth
had been adopted by the Athenian
cavalry. and from his advice as to
the seat to be adopted pads or rolls
seem to have been added. There
were no stirrups until the time of
the Emperor Maurice. 602. On a
funeral monument of the time of
Nero, in the museum at Mainz, is
the figure of a horseman on sad
dlecloth with something resembling
the pommel and cantle of saddle,
but the first saddle proper is found
in the so-called column of Theo-
dosius at Constantinople, usually
ascribed to the end of the Fourth
century A. D.. though it may be
more than 100 years earlier.
In medieval times the saddle was
much like that of the oriental saddle
of today. In the military saddle of
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth GEN.
turtles the high front parts were ar
mored. The side-saddle is said to
date from the end of the Twelfth
century.

Red Fox Destroys
Many Farm Pests

Cats may get the glory. but the
red fox Is the mouser par excellence.
his capacity for field mice and other
noxious rodents apparently knows
no limits, according to Prof. w. ].
Hamilton, Jr., of Cornell university,
who has studied the contents of the
stomachs of nearly 1000 fur-bearing
animals to learn their feeding hab-
its. 1t Is not unusual, he says, to
find as many as FIVE mice in a fox's
stomach.
The fox is fond of fruits, and eats
many berries during the summer and
fall months AS winter approaches,
his diet is restricted largely to mice
and rabbits. both of which are seri-
Gus farm pests. Woodchucks become
prey for foxes when they emerge
from their winters sleep. Reynard
plays havoc with the young wood
chucks, and the baby foxes grow
fast on such diet. Small game is
brought to the den alive. where the
young foxes are given their first les
sons in hunting. Debris about fox
den shows insects, mice. small birds,
and often some chicken feathers
which give further clews to his diet.
Professor Hamilton says protec
tive measures will be necessary If
the red fox is to survive for future
generations. 1t would seem only fair
to protect the fox when the mother
is with young. The fox is one of
the finest game animals and fur

lie explained that animal protein
is necessary to build body tissue, and
that milk is good source of animal
protein. Milk is even more valuable
as a source of vitamin G. This has
been proved by experiments at Cor
nell and elsewhere. Several vitamins
are required for normal growth and
health of poultry One of these can
be supplied cheaply by only milk and
alfalfa. Vitamin G, discovered about
five years ago, is important in that its
lack causes nervousness, skin LESSONS,
sore eyes, and general weakened
condition. 1t is believed that a GER
tain leg weakness is also caused by
the lack of vitamin G or a closely
associated factor. The use of milk

Poultry Notes

Success in poultry raising depends
to large extent on how well young
stock is brooded and grown.
Never neglect to cord the chick-box
well; otherwise some prying hand may
open the lid en- route to customer.
Sudden changes in temperature are
more harmful to chickens than pro-
longed spells Of extreme tempera-
lures.
1t is difficult to keep a brooder house
dry when 1t is crowded. Moist litter
helps spread disease.
United States farm flocks had per
cent fewer hens and pullets on Janu-
airy 1, 1882, than on the same date last
year.
Young turkeys require a longer pc
riod of brooding than do chickens.
They should have about seven weeks
of warm temperature in the brooder
louse.
The measure of a poultryman's sue.
cess is his ability to produce good pull
lets.
Young turkeys require a warm tenn
perature in the brooder house for a
longer time than chickens; generally
about seven weeks.
