Fears for the Sheepmen.
If the Idaho furmers attempt to hold
for $20 hay this fall it will force the
sheepment of the state to reduce the
size of their flocks and have the effect
of causing many to withdraw from the
business, according to Hugh Sproat,
president of the Idaho Wool Growers'
assoication. Sproat does not agree
with Harvey Allred, director of the
state farm markets bureau, that the
farmers must get $20 a ton for their
alfalfa if they are to make the same
margin of porllt on their investment.
Romance likes to come on horse
back; the Jingling spurs and bridle
Irons chant a happy pean In his ears,
and from the saddle, as from the
throne, he looks out over the workaday
world, says a writer In Scrlbner'a
Magazine.
Romance always has been lliiued
with riding ; In the playroom mounted
on a gallant rocking chnlr youth rides
Into a land of golden deeds; later he
swings In long gallops on the faithful
hobbyhorse Into spicy and fugitive ad
venture. To the page on a prancing
palfrey and to the cavnlryman In
khaki the lure of romance Is the same;
the rhythm of galloping hoofs thuds
always In the Imagination, the lady's
favor on the lance and the quivering
scarlet guidon flutter alike a mysteri
ous and eternal challenge to the spirit
of youth. "To horse and away," and
all the world'B before one.
Stevenson always wanted to write a
story about a man galloping up to an
Inn at night, nnd the very suggestion
brings a tingle to the Imagination;
By on th. highway low and loud,
By at the gallop goes he.
He heard him In the sleepless mid
nights of his childhood; and, Indeed,
the sound of thudding hoofs always
makes the heart beat faster. The so
ciable clattering of a single footer on
asphalt, the crackling of twigs and
leaves on the quiet autumn trails, the
muffled rhythm of a canter on the turf,
Its resonance on a, bridge all these
make music in the ears and bring the
very smell of adventure. To him who
rides there Is always "something lost
behind the ranges" and his heart
yearns for It
Rewarding Italian Soldiers.
A salary scheme la being worked
out In Italy, which promises to have
good results. Salaries will be paid by
employers to their employees, who are
on active service the continuation of
which will be regulated according to
the number of years of previous serv
ice. The first clause provides for the
reinstatement In their former posi
tions of all employees having served
for at least one year with the firm
for which they were working at the
entrance of Italy Into the war. Tho
clauses relating to salaries during the
war are ns follows: All worklngraen
with the colors who have been with a
Arm for at least five years are en
titled to a third of their usual sal
aries during the continuation of the
war. This applies to married men
with families. In all other cases the
employers shall pay the men at the
rate of a quarter of their former sal
aries. Men with ten years' service to
tbelr credit will receive, If married,
with families, one-hnlf of their sal
aries, and If not married a third. The
decree only applies to Anns employing
at least three workmen.

Getting Oil From Needles.
Investigations of the yield nnd the
value of cctlnr oil obtainable from some
of our southern and western trees have
been made by the forest service partly
with n view to the possible utilization
of waste material left after lumber

In these Investigations, longleaf and
western yellow pine leaves produce the
most promising results, but Uie needle
lis obtained from these pines did not
surpass the already flrmly established
spruce and hemlock oils.
Tho large quantities of needles nnd
twigs on forest service ttmber sale
areas are not only n sheer wnste, but
also form a special fire hazard. An In

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment or Agriculture.;
Lameness due to a variety of cuuses
and of various tonus, some not at first
apparent, should be carefully looked
for when examining a horse In action.
When lameness is present only ut cer
tain times, It Is known as Intermittent
lameness, consequently It is advisable
to examine a horse on several different
occasions. In cold lumeness the ani
mal will go sound after he Is warmed
up, while In warm lameness the Im
pediment does not manifest Itself un
til after considerable exercise. Fllncn
Ing when the horse turns sharply Indi
cates shoulder lameness. The various
gaits should be observed from the
front, side, and rear, In order that the
desirable features and defects may not
be overlooked.
Walking. Perfection In this gait Is
characterized by the feet being
brought up quickly from the ground,
by their being carried in u straight
line, by lengthy stride, and by the
cycle being completed quickly. All of
these aid In producing a rapid walk,
which Is a great asset to horses used
for any purpose. The defects of gait
which may well be noted while the
horse Is walking are Interfering, wing
ing, toeing In or toeing out, and sprawling.
Trot This gait must be square;
that Is, It must be without any ten
dency to wabble, shuffle, or mix gaits,
and the hind feet should follow in Hue
with the forefeet. In the roadster and
trotting race horse speed Is highly
valued, while In the park saddle horse
n fair degree of nicely balanced knee
and hock action Is demanded. The
highest prized factor of the harness
horse expresses Itself at the trot In
extreme knee and hock action. Even
In the draft horse a square, open, well
bnlnnced trot with pronounced knee
and hock action adds many dollars to
his selling price. The common defects
of the trot are Interfering, forging,
dwelling, hopping, and knee action
without a proportionate amount of
hock action or vice versa. Lameness
may be detected in the trot when it
muy not be apparent In other gnlts.
An abundance or lack of energy aud
ambition Is apparent during trotting
by the general deportment and car
riage. Pace. The pacing gait Is more or
less common In harness horses, and
It Is useful ns a fast road gait on
smooth thoroughfares. The charac
teristic movements of the limbs In this
gait consist In the feet ou the some
side of the body striking the ground
simultaneously. The principal defects
of the pace are cross-firing nnd hit
ting tho knees.
Easy Qalt. Plantation horses uml
flve-galted saddle horses have gaits
that arc ettBy on the rider ns well as
on tho horse. Such gaits nre desired
principally for long rides and are
known ns slow pace, fox or dog trot,
and running walk. Any ono of them
may constitute one of the gnlts of n
flve-gnlted horse, while the faster easy
gait demanded In such n horse Is the
rack or slnglefoot. This Is Interme
diate between the trot and pace, the
feet hitting the ground one nt a time,
producing a gait easy ou the rider,
but tiring to the horse.
Center. The canter, classed aa a
saddle gait, may be described as a
modified, collected, and very slow gal
lop. It should be graceful, easy, nnd
handily performed.
Wind. To test the wind have the
horso ridden at a very fast gallop,
topping htm abruptly so that you may
hour the passing of air through the
wind nine. In roaring, or broken wind,
there will be I whistling sound each
time the horse luhales. When a horae
is affected with tho disease called
heaves, It has difficulty In forcing air
out of the lungs, causing a peculiar
and very characteristic movement In
the flanks and abdomen, especially
after exertion. Horses affected with
heaves usually cough in a characteris
tic manner after drinking cold water.
Thl cough may also be excited In af
fected horses by tightly grasping the
windpipe at the throat latch for a
short time. 'A horse's respiration is
greatly hindered by either broken wind
or heaves.
Adaptability for Specific Work A
horse may possess proper conforma
tion, be sound, and have good action
yet still not be well adapted for a
specific work; consequently It Is very
essential that he be thoroughly exam
ined at the work for which he Is
wanted. If the horse Is to be used
for heavy hauling or draft purposes,
steady pulling under all conditions Is
an Indispensable quullty. For harness
use the horse should drive promptly
and freely with 'an easy, rapid gait and
an alert expression, taking Just suffi
cient hold of the bit to be in hand
without causing the driver to pull ou
the lines. The suddle horse should
huve an easy, prompt mouth, with
style and graceful carriage.
Vice. Some horses are difficult to
harness and object to taking the bit
In their mouths ; others jump when an
attempt Is made to place a saddle or
harness on their backs ; while still oth
ers offer a greut deul of resistance to
having the crupper pluced under their
tulls. If the resistance Is due entirely
to a heavily muscled nnd consequent
ly a strong tail It muy be an Indica
tion of general muscular strength and
tension. While being hitched up or
mounted the horse should stand quiet
ly and should start promptly but quiet
ly on command. For any purpose the
following vices should cause the ani
mal to be rejected: Balking, backing,
reurlng, kicking, striking with the
forefeet, or running away. Less Im
portant vices are : Throwing the head
up or down, shying, scaring, breaking
loose when tied, resting one foot upon
the other, grasping the bit between
the teeth, rolling with the harness on,
or switching the tall over the lines.
Occasionally the last-named vice
causes the horse to kick, In which case
It becomes dangerous.
General Consideration. Enlarge
ments or scars (due to deformity, un
usual mishap, or uncommon disease)
not conforming to any of those dis
cussed should cause a horse to be re
jected unless the nature of the cause
und the detriment to the value and
usefulness of the animal Is self-evident.
Experience gained by examin
ing large numbers of horses will aid
in quickening the eye and Judgment,
thereby making it possible to perceive
readily any unusual condition, but it
should be remembered that a hurried
examination Is liable to prove a dis
appointment ; consequently plenty of
time should be taken In making the
examination, because time Is much
cheaper than money tied up In an un
satisfactory horse. In some countries
nine days nre allowed by law to the
purchaser In which to learn of the
serious forms of unsoundness or vice
in a horse, so that In Ihls country it
would seem fair to allow at least
a day for a fair trial when practicable,
If possible, get a history of the animal,
and while you ure about It, get a his
tory of the person having It for sale
So many defects may be covered up by
such unfair methods ns drugging that
It is a good plan to make purchases
only from those with good reputations.
Horses offered at auction sales should
bo thoroughly examined previous to
their being brought Into the ring, or
else they should be tried out In com
pliance with the rules of the sole be
fore time for settlement.
Finally, It Is well not to form the
habit of seeing only the defects, for
horses, like people, nre seldom perfect,
consequently In judging them weigh
the good qualities against the bad. A
horse should be valued by the amount
of service ho will perform rather than
by his minor shortcomings.
HOME ECONOMICS
STUDY ESSENTIAL
Every Woman Now Needs Work
ing Knowledge of Subject,
Says Uncle Sam.
SCHOOLS URGED TO ASSIST
Asked to Extend Scope of Their Regu
lar Classes and Provide Exten
sion Service for Those
Living In Cities.
Colleges, universities and normal
schools of the country have an oppor
tunity to render the nation a big serv
ice by instructing the women of the
country In home economics, in the
opinion of experts In Uncle Sam's bu
reau of education. Suggestions for
carrying forward this work are made
In the following statement, Issued by
the bureau :
"There ore at present unusual oppor
tunities for service by home economics
departments nnd by all women who
have received or are now receiving
home economics Instruction. Now, as
never before, every woman needs a
working knowledge of home economics,
hence food classes In home economics
should be opened to all woman stu
dents. Enrollment In these will neces
sitate concessions and adjustments by
other departments In the Institutions.
In these food classes which probably
should be lecture rather than labora
tory classes special attention should
be given to diet requirements for main
tenance of health and efficiency; meth
ods of eliminating all waste from the
household, and more Intelligent use of
the more nbundant foods for those
which are either scarce or of better
keeping qualities.
"Inevitably there will be need during
all of the next few years of soup kit
chens, free school lunches and other
forms of community feeding. A few
weeks or months of Intensive study of
the special problems connected with
handling larger quantities of food will
prepare n number of Women already
trained In dietetics for this work. Sum
mer schools may well offer such
courses, and grant advanced credits If
this seems desirable.
Extension Service for Women.
"Extension service for women living
In cities Is as much needed as is the
work now being done by the agricultu
ral department for the wives of farm
ers. Workers for this service should
be prepared by the Institutions for
higher education. These women need
to be well trained In economics and so
ciology as well as In home economics,
and should be urged to volunteer for
this extension type of work.
"Extra classes, giving several hours
dally to practical Instruction in the
home care of the sick, should be or
ganized for all woman students, and
the most recent knowledge concerning
the care of Infants and children
should be available to them. This Is of
especial Importance for various rea
sons. If war comes upon American
territory, the well-trained graduate
nurse will be called to war hospitals,
and the ordinary nursing of home sick
ness will devolve upon home women.
In addition to this duty will be the
care of returned convalescent wound
ed. If large numbers of the strong and
sturdy men are to give their lives for
our nation, then the conservation of
child life and health assumes aspects
of such great Importance that every
woman should be required to obtain an
ndequnte knowledge of child enre.
Work for Summer Schools.
"Normal schools, colleges and uni
versities can, during their summer
schools, train women to Instruct In
Red Cross sewing, In order that the
public-school sewing of next year may
be most effectively executed. In addi
tion to this, courses designed to pre
pare teachers to Instruct In the re
modeling of garments will he timely.
"One of the great services women
can render Is In the saving of the na
tion's Rupply of food and clothing. Spe
cial short courses In the study of the
condition of national supply of house
hold materlnl, needed economics, and
the soclologle nnd economic effect of
women's activities should he offered.
If the demands of this type of serv
ice were to be but temporary, special
consideration would not be so neces
sary; hut under the most fnvornble
termination of actual warfare, the need
of conservation of health, of great food
economies, of sympathetic service to
the sick and to those In poverty will
continue to demand consideration."

Ouch I ? 1 T 1 I This kind ot rough
talk will be heard less 1 ere In town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn or hardened
callous stops soreness at once, and
aoon the corn or callous dries up and
lifts right off without pain.
He says freezone dries immediately
and never Inflames or even Irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
of freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft com or callous
from one's feet. Minions or American
women will welcome this announce
ment since the Inauguration of the
high heels. If your druggist doesn't
have freezone tell him to order a small
bottle for you.
ADVANTAGES IN PIG RAISING
Trucking and Dairying Industrie In
East Can Advantageously Take
Up Pork Production.
In tho East the trucking and dairy
ing Industries can ndvantngeously be
accompanied by pig raising. The truck
farms wnste each year a vast amount
of unmarketable products that might
be used with profit In feeding hogs.
On the dairy farms such by-products
ns skim milk nnd buttermilk are espo
dally relished by growing pigs and
can be profitably utilized by them
Furthermore, clover, bluegrass and
other forage crops well adapted for
raising swine grow rapidly In nearly
every section of the East. Corn, too.
is successful, In some sections the av
erage yield per acre being greater than
that of the middle West.
In the extreme West the alfalfa of
the Irrigated valleys and the clover of
the coast districts furnish a good foun
datlon for successful pork production.
In most of these regions there Is an
abundance of small grain, particularly
barley, that may often be fed ecouom
Ically, aud corn Is successful in some
localities.
TO USE WIRELESS TELEPHONY
Engineers and Scientists Working for
Unci Sam Develop New Means
of Communication.
Experiments with wireless telephony
have proved Its practical value to such
an extent that It will be used by the
navy in Its war operations along with
wireless telegraphy.
A statement Issued by Uncle Sam's
public Information committee says
that engineers nnd scientists working
with officials of the navy In develop
ing the wireless telephone have made
"Important progress," but does not go
Into details. The national research
council and the naval consulting board
have devoted much attention to the
subject, working on telephone commu

SELECTION OF CHOICE SEED
Crops Don't "Run Out," Say Expert
at Ames Fanning and Grading
Ara of Importance.
The old Idea that farm crops "run
out" may safely be looked upon as a
humbug, say the farm crops men at
the Iowa experiment station at Ames;
that Is, If reasonable care Is given to
the selection of good seed and proper
methods of soli culture each year.
Under careless management, of course,
crops will deteriorate the same as an
imals or men.
If, due to careless handling, farm
crops do run down or "run out," the
best thing to do Is to run them out.
Dispose of the poor stuff and make a
fresh start with good seed from the
farm of a thrifty neighbor. Then
keep the seed good.
With tests of hundreds of varie
ties of different classes of crops at the
experiment station at Ontario, Can
ada, Ames and other places, where
reasonable attention was given to fan
ning and grading seed each year, cases
of "run out" are practically unknown.
This has also been the case on all weli
manngetl farms, also.
With proper management and nor
mal conditions the seed grown on the
farm should always be the best seed
for that farm.

Tendency to Rush Product to Market
Before It 1 Well Blanched Lose
In Trimming.
The bracing fall weather will stimu
late the demand for celery. At this
season when It Is selling readily at
good prices, there Is a tendency to
rush celery to market before It Is Well
hlnnehptl. This is R mlshik-p havniTa.
It necessitates severe trimming at the
market end, and the product goes to
the cheaper trade. To catch the best
grade, celery must be fully blanched,
clean and well trimmed.
"Handling" celery should be finished
promptly and the rows ridged as fast
as possible. If the soil is allowed to
get Into the hearts of the plants it
will cause rot Celery Intended for
storage should not be ridged. In some
quarters there is a prejudice against
blanching celery with boards. It is
claimed that blanching with earth
makes It crtsper and gives it a better
flavor. Just the same, much of the
product grown in various parts of tit
country is blanched with board, and
It sells for top prices, too. 1
