Boost for Barley

Animal husbandmen at the Uni
versity of Missouri boost barley as
a substitute for corn for fattening
steers. They credit it with a value
of Sc cents a bushel, when corn is
priced at so cents. Their tests show
that steers receiving barley, plus
clover hay, silage, and cottonseed
meal, come to full feed more rap
idly, make greater daily gains,
and sell at higher prices than those
fed the same amounts of corn.

Trained Dogs
May Serve in
British Army
Four-Footed Messengers May
Again Roam World War
Battlefelds.

LONDON.-A nationwide appeal
for donation of dogs to be trained
for service with the British expedi-
tionary force is anticipated if the
war Office accepts a proposal by
Lieut.. Col. E. H. Richardson. whose
canine messengers have distin-
guished themselves on a score of
battlefields in the last 40 years.
Two thousand of Colonel Richard
sons dogs played heroes roles with
the British army during the World
war. Hundreds of them died in ac-
ton and were buried in unmarked
graves in Flanders. This little ca
nine army was credited in official
dispatches with saving entire bat
talions from almost certain annihila-
ton.
At IA, Colonel Richardson has told
the war Office he is prepared to Or
ganize and train a similar army
under fire.
Used in Far East.
"Yes, I'm getting old, but l can
do the job again." Colonel Richard
son said. 1.-THE first dogs l trained
for war service distinguished them
selves by locating scores of Russian
wounded in the millet fields of the
Far East during the Russo-Japanese
war. My dogs have carried out
important military missions in Mo-
rocco, Bulgaria, Montenegro and
Tripoli.
"Of course they've done pretty
well in peacetime, too" said the Of
ficer, mischievous twinkle in his
eyes. Take, for instance, the mas
tiff, bloodhound and the collie I
trained especially for Sultan Abdul
Hamid of Turkey as watchdogs for
his harem. They had capital job.
Scotland Yard has used my dogs,
too. 1t was one of my dogs that
tore the trousers of the famous high
wayman, Dick Turpin, when they
nabbed him in Yorkshire. He
had to climb tree pretty fast.
Zone of the outstanding dogs
trained in my kennels south of Paris
during the World war was Airedale
Jack. He saved practically an en-
tire battalion by running through a
heavy German barrage for half a
mile TO brigade headquarters with
vital message strapped to his col
lar. Jack reached headquarters
with his foreleg smashed and his
jaw broken. He delivered his mes
sage, then died.
Sheep Dog Hero.
''Then there was Tweed, a bob
tailed sheep dog. He went on duty
with a Scottish Canadian regiment
at Amiens in 1918. The Germans
broke through the British front
lires. If they had gone any farther
it would have been serious. Three
dogs unsuccessfully tried to reach
the headquarters of the French
Colonials three kilometers back with
a message to send reinforcements.
Then Tweed tried it and made the
grade. He ran the German barrage
and arrived in 10 minutes. The
French were quickly sent up, and
the line was Strengthened"
Colonel Richardson developed a
huge organization for training dogs
during the World war, including ap-
proximately 1000 game wardens.
Hundreds of dogs, including aire-
dales, mastiffs, retrievers, surchers
and sheep dogs, were in constant
training at a central kennel in
Etaples, France. From these CEN
trail kennels dogs and their trainers
were pooled out to sectional kennels
behind the front line. In each of
these an average of 48 dogs were
kept, tended by a sergeant and Is
men-three dogs to a keeper.

him sure that the news about Peter
was probably true.
Now, as soon as Sammy was sure
that Old Man Coyote couldn't see
him, he headed straight for the
Green Forest and the hill, where
Prickly Porky, Jimmy Skunk, Unc'
Billy Postum and Peter and Mrs
Peter Rabbit were waiting. AS he
flew he saw Reddy Fox and old
Granny Fox stretched flat behind an
old log some distance away, but
where they could see all that might
happen.

he chuckled.
When he reached the others he
reported that he had delivered the
message to Old Man Coyote and that
he was very sure, in fact, he was
positive. that Old Man Coyote was

body but Peter should get out of
sight at once. So Unc' Billy Pos

crawled into a hollow log, Sammy
Jay hid in the thickest part of a
hemlock tree, Prickly Porky got be-
hind a big stump right at the top of
the hill, and little Mrs. Peter, with
her heart going pit-a-pat, crept into
the old house between the roots of
this same old stump. Only Peter
was to be seen when at last Old Man
Coyote came tip-toeing along the hol-
low at the foot of the hill as noise
less as gray shadow.
He saw Peter almost as soon as
Peter saw him. and the instant he

II ARDLY was Sammy Jay out of

chard when Old Man Coyote started
for the Green Forest. He is very
sharp, is Old Man Coyote, so sharp
that it is not very often that he is
fooled. If Sammy Jay had gone to
him and told him what a splendid
chance he would have to catch Pc
ter Rabbit if he hurried up to the
Green Forest right away Old Man
Coyote would have suspected trick
of some kind. Sammy had been
smart enough to know this. So he
had just mentioned in the most mat

Peter over on Prickly Porky's hill
and that Peter appeared to have
been in trouble so that he was too
lame to 60 to his home in the dear
old Brier Patch. There wasn't even

Her concert performance, critics
said, was assured, competent, and,
IN some respects, even brilliant. Vet
eran orchestra players marveled
when Anita played through difficult
concertos for four hours without fall
tering.
The answer to this was that Anita
likes to play. As far as she is con-
cerned she'd give a concert any
place If asked. She likes to make
public appearances.

have an opportunity to extend her
education. She has played for four
years.
His suggestion brought about her
debut, the proceeds of which will
be used for her musical instruction.
Her fathers income cannot meet the
constantly increasing expenses of
her violin instruction.
General opinion of critics after her
concert was that Anita was capable

Perhaps her next step will be an
