'BLANCHED FEED FOR HORSES
8elect Ration That Seems to Meet
Animal’s Requirements—Indi
viduals Differ.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment ot Agriculture.',
As no feed or combination of feeds
[will meet conditions In all parts of the
country, so no feed or mixture Is suit
able for all classes of horses. In
choosing a ration for a horse, select
the one that seems to meet his re
quirements, whether for growth,
maintenance, work, breeding or fatten
ilug; estimate the amount of feed need
ed and try out the ration. It may up
'pear after a trial that too little Is be
ing fed or that the ration may be
changed somewhat In the Interest of
economy or efficiency. If u number of
horses are kept, different rations may
'be tested on different animal:-, and the
best one selected for general use. In
dividual feeding gives the best re
sults.
Feeding stuffs are broadly divided
linto two great classes, proteins am
carbohydrates. The proteii feeds an
rich In nitrogenous eon,;, mds wbhd
are used In the animal b dy in hullo

vide energy; the curhohydr ic fe.-d
are starchy and are used in the animal

To obtain the best results In feed

SHRUNKEN WHEAT GOOD FEED
Hogs In 8outh Dakota Experiments
Made Almost as Large Gains
as With Good Wheat.
“With the price <>u heps, shrunken
wheat as a pig feed is worth hout as
much as the government's guarantee,"
says J. W. Wilson, professor of animal
husbandry at South Dakota State col
lege. Professor Wilson bases this
statement upon the results of experi
ments conducted at the college some
years ago In feeding 44-pound wheat In
comparison with 57-pound wheat. I
receiving ground shrunken wheat made
an average dally gain per head of two
pounds, the good wheat producing only
three-tenths of a pound more per day
per head.

SOLDiERS LIKED THE PRINCE
—
I Heir to British Throne Fond of Min
gling With the Fighters, When
He Was Permitted.
In the front linos n Canadian soldier
was building a fire one cold nlglit of
late autumn. Out of the night behind
hint came a footstep. He turned, and
became doubly alert when lie saw that
! the man was not an officer of his regl
| ment. The visitor approached the
blaze, held his hands out over it and
raid:
"This tire certainly looks good to
me."
The tone was pleasant enough, and
suspicion was almost unarmed when
: the voice went on :
“Have you wood enough? If you
haven't I’ll get you some mure.”
The fire bnilder felt some regret that
any suspicion whatever remained, hut
j there had been a special warning
I against strangers not of ones own
regiment. In response to it lie was
about to question the newcomer close
ly, when an officer whom he did know
came within the firelit circle and ad
dressed the stranger:
“Your royal highness, it is best that
you return te> the automobile at once."
And the prince of Wales reluctantly
left the fire and returned to the place
where he officially belonged. It was
not the first time he had left that place
of his own accord and gone forward
among the men. The Canadian who
fells the story learned afterward tha!
the prince's staff had its hands full to
keep him from breaking away from
the official circle prescribed for him
and mingling >’ith the men on their
own ground.
MUST HAVE ENVIED COMRADES
Pathetic Happening in English Court
That Marked the Observance
of Armistice Day.
The great clocks of London boomed
out eleven strokes. The city became
as silent as though it were a second
Pompeii miraculously swept clean o 1
its ashes. Motor cars and tram cars
creaked to sudden stops. Policemen
stood like graven blue images at their
posts. Pedestrians doffed their hats
#nd stood as though they had not
known motion for centuries. It was
Armistice day and the city was doing
honor to those youths who bad expe
rienced the Great Adventure.
In a dingy courtroom a murder trial
came to a sudden halt. Judge, counsel,
witnesses and the prisoner stood, and
for two minutes, with bowed head, did
Silent reverence to those poppy
wreathed graves of France. Before the
prisoner flickered visions of that same
France only one year before. He again
saw the faces of comrades he had loved
and whom he had watched in the throes
of death. Incidents of that last des
perate sprint across No Man’s Land,
with death on every side, came back to
him. Again he heard the shout with
which the trenches had greeted the
armistice. Ho had come safely through,
and now—
The two minutes ended. The city
came out of its trance. The somber
voice of the judge resumed—“and shall
hang by the neck until dead.”
Poison Gas to Fight Squirrels.
Experiments in the use of poison gas
in exterminating grain-eating ground
squirrels are under way, according to a
report of the county horticultural com
mission to the Los Angeles hoard of
supervisors.
At the same time it was announced
that Los Angeles county has sold its
surplus stock of saccharine and strych
nine to Orange county in order that
the neighboring county can join in the
campaign being waged against the de
structive ground squirrels.
According to Horticultural Commis
sioner Ryan, the use of poison gas is
necessary at this time because the
squirrels', which have been practically
eliminated front the worst affected re
gions in the county by the use of poi
sons during the past few months, fail
to eat the poison at this time, pre
ferring the new vegetable growth.
Bird Preserve Planned.
The proposal to establish an exten
