DOGDOM
. ROBABLY one Of the most

~ RoBABLY one Of the most
- important developments in
the field of dog breeding and
raising has been the research
IN nutrition, with emphasis on the
vitamins. A few years ago it was
thought that calories were the i'm
portant units in food. but experiments
proved that dogs as well as people
could starve to death in spite of a
plentitude of feed.
The emphasis shifted from an in
terest in calories alone to proper
distribution of calories among the
different food elements. 1t was
learned that the animal body needed
a certain amount of proteins, another
percentage of starches, sugars. fats.
etc. Schedules were worked out
showing Just what proportion Of
each was needed by the various mem
bers Of the animal kingdom. Yet in
spite of all the schedules and faith
full adherence to them, it was found
that certain functional disorders. GER
tain r1aladies, persisted, even among
the most carefully handled animals
In fact, skin troubles among dogs
and missing" bitches seemed to be-
come more prevalent In those ken
nels where ready-prepared feeds Of
supposedly ideal proportions were fed
exclusively. Further research un-
earthed vitamins, invisible attributes
of various foodstuffs that influence
everything from coat to reproduction
Many Vitamins Listed.
THERE now are almost as many
known vitamins designated by let
ters as there are new bureaus in the
Government. The more alert dog feed
manufacturers have been quick to take
advantage of this new knowledge, al
least in their advertising. and claim
wonderful results for their vitamin-
stuffed products. The story Of the
vitamins is far from complete, how.
ever. and while it may be true that
the vitamins 60 into the feeds. there
is some doubt about their staying
there. It certainly is known that heat
affects some, air others; perhaps other,
suffer when exposed to certain com.
binations.
The following is a brief summary oi
the vitamins as found in fresh foods
and their effects or values.
Vitamin A-Source leafy vegetables
cod liver oil; value, builds resistance
to certain bacterial infections, fore,
stalls certain eye infections.
Vitamin B-Source, milk. yeast
liver; value, stimulates appetite, tone.
up digestion, prevents anemia anc
nervousness.
Vitamin D-Source, cod liver oil
sunshine: value, prevents rickets.
Vitamin E-Source, wheat germ, let.
tuce; value, prevents sterility.
Vitamin G+Source, yeast, fruits
greens; value, protects against black
tongue.
1t must be remembered that these
vitamins work together, several have
the same functions, more or less. and
the vitamins that improve appetite and
digestion. for instance. play their very
important parts IN promoting good
coat.

MORRIS GREATEST

Superb Milwaukee Victory
Reveal Him Remarkable
DeCathIon Performer.
Ev the Associated Press.

Ev the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK. July 3.-Just when
nj 1t looked as though the United
" States was running out OF
Iron men" for the classic
Olympic decathlon, severest of all
individual athletic tests, the Rocky
Mountain area has turned up with a
record -smasher, all primed to meet
the worlds best at Berlin this August.
Glenn Morris, 24-year-old Denver
automobile salesman, who shattered
the world record with a mark OF
1880 points in the final Olympic try
outs at Milwaukee last Saturday,
takes rank with the most phenomenal
athletes ever developed by this coun-
try for all-around competition.
The list starts with Jim Thorpe,
the great Indian, and includes Harold
Osborn and Jim Bausch, the 1882
Olympic champion, but competent OBJ
servers rate Morris, on the basis of his
latest performance, as the greatest
decathlon man yet produced.
Bausch has retired and Hans
Sievert, the German, whose world
record was beaten by Morris, prob
ably will be out Of the Olympics, due
to injuries.
Combines Speed, Stamina,
MORRIS combines extraordinary
speed with the technique and
stamina SO essential to sustaining a
high average of performance in the
10-event test" said Daniel ]. Ferris,
veteran athletic authority and ma
tional secretary of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union.
Thorpe had great speed and agil-
ity. but was weak in some field events.
Bausch capitalized ability in the
weight events and the pole vault to
achieve world-reCord victory at Los
Angeles four years ago Sievert, like
wise, was at his best in the field
events"
Comparison OF Morris Milwaukee
performances with those of Bausch
and Sievert shows the Colorado star
with an edge over both in five of the
10 events. including all the track tests.
No decathlon performer ever has
shown the Coloradoan's speed at foot
racing or hurdling and at the same
time managed to keep up with the
leaders in the field events. Morris
dropped out Of the pole vault after
achieving only II feet 4 inches. but
he can do better than that If the
Olympic pressure requires.

The most unusual method that has

by an ingenious housewife in the

case of thunder fear. At the first
signs of hysteria due to an approach
ing storm. Mrs. Housewife leads Jack
to the basement and turns on the
washing machine. Evidently the noise
of the motor is either sufficient coun-
ter-lrritant TO take the dogs mind of
the storm, or else the nearer noise
browns out the more distant. the
louder, one.
Many Called, Few Chosen.
THE latest statistics released by the
American Kennel Club reveal that
is per cent Of the dogs registered
by that body become champions. On
that basis. of the 6,625 dogs registered
in May, about 80 will be champions
by Christmas of 1887. The average
age at which dogs are registered is 6
months. and the average age at which
Championships are completed Is 2
years. 1t seems, however. that that
average is going down with the in
crease in both shows and show going.
For the fourth consecutive month
! cocker spanieis led the role in regis
trstions. Boston terriers we're second,
Scottish terriers were third and fox

80 to 40 Leaves Needed
to Produce Good Peach

How many leaves are required to
produce enough food to develop good
peach? Experiments by the United
States Department of Agriculture indi-
cate at least 80 to 40 leaves are neces-
sary. Forty to fifty leaves are required
to develop a good-sized apple, and
about so for an orange.
Producers of large peaches provide
larger leaf areas-more than 40 leaves
per peach-by thinning the fruit close
ly. This permits the peaches left on
the tree to get more food from the
leaves. When the fruit set Is light for
the entire tree-but perhaps heavy on
certain branches and the leaves plenti-
ful-the fruit may be left unthinned.
After a damaging freeze fruit may
set only at the base of the shoots.
When this occurs the leaves on the
bearing and nonbearing shoots will I'M
der favorable conditions produce
peaches of good size and quality al
though the fruit may be only few
inches apart. Leaves far away from
the fruit and those on the nonbearing
shoots also help to manufacture food.

there is no persuasion and no pun
ishment that can be administered
to Linn that will induce him to
change his obstinate decision!
When you look at llama, you are

Corn probably grows most rapidly on

States bureau of plant industry, the
rate of growth is influenced by many
factors other than the formation of
food materials through protosynthesis,
and the protosynthetic products them
selves may require further change be-
fore being utilized in growth. Some
plants actually grow more rapidly at
night under ordinary conditions than
they do during the day.

The llama has the distinction of
being the only beast of burden that
the American Indians were in pos

Rural New-Yorker. The peculiar
conformation of it's feet enables it
to tread with security over rough
and steep slopes where other ami
mails would find it difficult walking
And then, camel-like, it is capable
of making long journeys without
water.
The llama is not a fast traveller,

dozen to Is miles day when trans

scrub the sow thoroughly with brush,
using soap and warm water to remove
dirt and worm eggs. Then put the
SOW in clean field containing suit
able forage crop where there have
been no hogs for at least IL months.
Keep other pigs and hogs away from
the clean lot, and keep new born pigs
away from old, dirty hog lots. Leave
the pigs on pasture until they are at
least four months old. If possible,
leave them there until ready for mar
ket or until they can be turned into
the corn fields.
For summer pasture, plant soy beans
in rows, cultivate them twice, and turn
in the pigs when the beans are about
- inches high.
Pigs after being narrowed should be
castrated, weaned, and started on full
feed two months later. Fill the self
feeder with shelled corn and fish meal
or tankage so the pigs can help them
selves.
When cottonseed meal is cheap, it
may be mixed with the fish meal or
tankage in equal parts. Soy bean meal
or peanut meal may be used in place
of cottonseed meal in the mixture.
Corn should not be mixed with
other feeds. Put it in a separate COM
partment in the feeder.
Plant a field Of early maturing corn
for the pigs to "hog down." Harvest
ing is one-seventh of the cost of pro-
ducing a corn crop. Pigs will gather
the corn and pay for the privilege.

pounds Of superphosphate, ten pounds
of lime, and two pounds Of salt.

The Hay Supply

While grass and legumes are impor.

provement, they are equally as impor
tant in producing adequate fodder for
live stock. Too often farm animals
suffer from insufficient hay or pasture
when a little planning and seeding
would have provided ample. Yields
vary considerably, but hay, If properly
cured and stacked, will keep in good
condition for many years, so 1t is pos
sible to put up surplus of hay during
good years to offset the shortage.
