Dairymen Take Interest

Dalrymen members OF the New
York dairy record clubs make prof

Prof. C. G. Bradt OF the New York
State College OF Agriculture.
Returns from 1875 club members
indicate. he states, that the records

OF those who reported said that

Club members also said they took

Feeding Work Horses

WIntering work horses Will be
troublesome problem In view Of the
feed shortage. To maintain fair
condition, work horses need a daily
ration OF from ten 10 fifteen pounds
OF clean roughage such as hay. corn
fodder. or straw. Even Idle horses.
In addition to the roughage, should
have a little grain. especially II the
roughage consists OF prairie hay,
straw, or corn fodder. On five to
six pounds OF grain per day a horse
will hold its weight, the amount of
grain. Of course. depending some
what on size OF the animal. Horses
at work need from ten to fifteen
pounds of grain per head a day If
they are to hold up In weight. Bar
ley can be substituted very well for
corn or oats. but It should be ground

NET is FAVORITE
AS WINTER FABRIC

Fashion designers are well aware
that many women aren't satisfied
unless they are wearing furs in
summer and filmy garments In snow
storms. So for winter evenings,
they are recommending the most
transparent of fabrics. net. The
most arresting model. seen In
representative collection, is de-
signed along shirtwaist lines and
has silver cross bars to decorate
the net. A turnover collar with
ruffled edge. short sleeves with ruff
fed cuffs and a skirt which bunches-
its buoyancy at either side, are
noteworthy features of the mode,
which is seemingly destined TO win
favor.
A square dotted mesh is the most
old fashioned Of all the netted
themes to appear this season. An
overblouse of this quaint stuff is
recommended to cover simple but
quite formal black crepe evening

Cornstalk Fields

Rotten and Nodded Ears
Are Dangerous as Feed

Heavy death losses among horses
and mules threaten the farmer who
tries to save feed this winter by
turning work stock out on cornstnlk
fields. II is true that feed supplies
are the shortest on record. Unfor-
tunately. however. Il Will be espe-

the winter by pasturing them on

heavy rains. has caused much rot

Reports are reaching the Univer-

old-fashloned cornstalk disease so
prevalent about Is years ago. The

hogs and cattle can be pastured
In stalk fields with less danger than
any other farm animals. Even then,
the cattle should be pastured only
a part Of each day and thoroughly
inspected each night for possible
symptoms OF the disease. When
feeding the low-quality corn. farm
ers should hand-select the ears for
horses. mules and cattle.
The FIRST symptoms OF the disease
are likely TO be nervousness. slug
gishness or sleeplessness on the part
OF the horse. although the symptoms
are not easily detected without
careful observation. When these
mild symptoms do appear. however.
