BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER “THIEVES GET MILLIONS - LOOTING BRITISH ARMY Stores and Supplies Stolen, Mules and Horses Disappear; Also Blankets and Milk. ' London.—The annual loss to the Brit- ish army through petty thievery and pilfering of stores and supplies has been estimated at $25,000,000. Some account of the manner in which this huge sum disappears is given by the auditor general of army accounts. The Thirty-sixth division ammuni- tion column had a lot of mules picketed at Bordon camp in soll that was too sandy to hold the picketing gear. One night the mules broke loose, and $5,000 worth of mules were never recovered. A lot of horses mysteriously disap- peared at Abbassia, leaving a deficit of $30,000. A civilian foreman at Rom- sey carelessly gave thirteen horses an overdose of sulphur, and the horses died; loss, $4,000. Pistols worth $1,750 were lost on the way to Egypt. Troops smoking in a barn in ‘France set fire to the barn and destroyed $2,000 worth of straw. Scores of cases are cited where the mysterious disappearance of blankets has cost the army thousands of dol- lars. Condensed milk worth $1,000 dis. appeared from a cargo between Alex- andria and Sollom owing, to pilfering by the mercantile marine crews on board. Since the appointment of con- ductors to accompany ships these losses have virtually ceased. Military clothing worth $1,000 was sent to Winchester, where some one who signed himself “Corpl. Barnes” took it over. The consignment was lost at this point, and so was Corporal Barnes. DEER EATS WASHING. Court Dealt Leniently With Man Who Shot It. Highland Falls, N. Y.—Edwin Adolph, ‘a farmer, of Fort Montgomery, near Highland Falls, was dealt with leni- ently in court here when he showed that he shot a big buck because in browsing on his premises it-ate partof the family washing, which was hung out to dry. Deer, according to Mr. Adolph, who faced a possible $500 fine, have been pestering him for several ,months. They destroyed part of his crops, he declared, and recently began to chew the tops of young trees he had just set out. When this one chewed part of a bed sheet and a table cloth that hung on the clothesline in the orchard Adolph lost his patience and shot it. The game warden told the magistrate a light fine would satisfy him, and Adolph paid $25. SHE WANTS TO BE AVIATOR. Wife of Federal Land Banks’ Head Of- fers Her Services. New York.—Mrs. Leonard G. Robin- son, wife of the newly appointed presi- dent of the Federal Land banks, made application for a place in the United States flying corps. In a few days Mrs. Robinson will go to Springfield, Mass., to try out scveral aeroplanes before deciding on which one she will use. “The woman of means is under greater oblization to serve than women who are needed by their families,” she said. *“Women of wealth not only have leisure to serve their country, but, in addition, death would not bring the sufferings and misery as in the death of a woman on whom a family of little ones is dependent.” JAPANESE OF WEST PLANNING TO ENLIST Adopt Resolution Pledging Their Loy- alty at San Francisco Meeting. San Francisco.—The Japanese of the Pacific coast have testified to thelr loyalty to the United States in a reso- lution adopted here at a mass meeting of Japanese, which pledged their sup- port of the government in any capacity in which they may be needed. As a preliminary step they decided to co- operate in Red Cross work, and in case of further need they plan to enlist in actual service, ‘The local Japanese also issued a proclamation commending the presi- dent and the government for what they describe as a true stand for hu- manity in the world's crisis and asking the privilege of serving the country whose laws protect them. Reports reaching here tell of a pa- triotic movement on foot in Honolulu started by Japanese to raise a division of troops from the ranks of the 15,000 Japanese reservists in the Hawaiian Islands. Resident Americans in Ha- waii say that the Japanese on the is- lands have displayed an eagerness to establish their loyalty to the Stars and Stripes.

Lake Elsinore, Colo.—The South- ern Sierras Power company has been having considerable trouble of late with pelicans flying from Lake Elsinore and striking the high transmission wires, creat- ing ‘a short circuit and putting several towns out of service for electric light. A large number of 4 birds have been killed by the % 83,000 volt line. * CEOP L2222 42220 (E XX XXX XX CEPPPPEP PP P e e P b !

The country’s need to augment its supply is great, but prevailing bigh prices alone should be sufficient inducement to farmers to raise more hogs. The prospect of success never. was brighter. The high prices’ ruling in all m‘rketu show that the demand foripork is in excess of the supply.—United States De- partment of Agriculture.

No branch of live stock farming is more productive of satisfactory results than the raising of well bred swine 1if conducted with a reasonable care, ac- cording to the specialists of the bu- reau of animal industry, United States department of agriculture. Hogs fit into the modern scheme of farming on nearly every farm and are one of the most important animals to raise both for meat and for money. They require less labor, less equipment and less cap- ital, make greater gains pér hundred pounds of concentrates fed, reproduce themselves faster and in greater num- bers and give a quicker “turn over” of money than any .other animal except poultry. Farmers of the south and PURE BRED DUROC JERSEY BOAR, west particularly have awakened to the merits of the hog and are rapidly increasing their output of pork and their bank accounts. The hog has no rival as a consumer of byproducts and numerous unmarket. able materials which but for him might be wasted. Kitchen refuse not only from farms, but also from hotels and restaurants when cooked before being used makes an excellent feed. The value of skimmilk as a hog feed is known on every farm, though not al- ways fully appreciated- In the neigh- borhood of many large dairies pork production is a very prominent and lu- crative supplement to the dairy indus- try. To prevent tuberculosis all milk and milk products should be cooked before being fed to hogs. To control hog cholera use sanitary precautions and anti-hog cholera serum treatment. Give your liog every chance to be- come meat, The hog is also a large factor in cheapening the production of beef. Hogs are placed in the cattle feed lots to utilize the corn and other feeds the cattle have failed to digest and which otherwise would be wasted. Hogs fol- lowing steers in many cases have in- creased the profit per steer by from $6 to $9. Hogs should not be allowed to follow dairy cattle unless the cattle are tuberculin tested. Worms In Sheep. Sheepmen baving tlocks infested with stomach worms and tapeworms may free the animals of such pests by treatment before turning out to spring pasture. For this purpose a drench of copper sulphate bhas been found most satisfactory in the flocks at the Obijo station. Two fluid ounces of a solution made by dissolving an ounce of copper sulphate (blue vitriol) in two quarts of water is sufficient for a year- ling, and a two-year-old sheep needs three fluid ounces. A long necked bot- tle or a rubber tube and funnel may be used to give the dose. Most effective results follow when the sheep are fast- ed for a day both before and after treatment. Water should not be given for a few Lours premllug and follow- ing the dosing. Select Native Trees. Simplicity and naturalness should be the ideal in beautifying the rural home grounds. The trees that aPe native, such as the maples, oaks, elm, hickory, ashes and walnut, are best to use. Nat- uralness, harmony and strength are not added to the home environment by the planting of such trees as the weeping willow, weeping mulberry, Irish juni- per, umbrella catalpa, Japanese maple, golden arbor vitae, purple plum, copper beeches and the like. These are oddities, unnatural or exotic, and are not in place in a strictly American landscape.—Ohio Agricultu- ral College. e ] AT REX TONIGHT Seven reels will be shown at the Rex this evening in a special Mem- orial Day ' program. “Hop, the Devil’s Brew,” i8 an absorbing tale of the underworld with Lois Webber and Phillip Smalley in the lead roles, five reels being shown in this film. A Fox_comedy in two reels will add 'to the amusing part of the evening’s entertainment. DOUBLE DUTY A Dairy Ration Has Two Main Uses— Life and Product. [National Crop Improvement Service.] A ration is divided into two parts: 1. The part needed to maintain or keep the animal alive.. 2. The part needed to make stored up material like wool, fat, meat or milk. Milk is roughly in solids, one-third each casein (protein), fat and sugar. The casein in milk can only be fur- nished by the protein in the food. The fat and sugar may be derived from either protein, fat or carbo- hydrates. If a cow has the ability to give 50 pounds of milk containing two pounds of casein, and only gets enough pro- tein to make one pound of casein, then she will only give 25 pounds of milk. A balanced ration is one that has just the exact amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates that the cow needs. Just what this is we cannot ever say exactly, because the amounts vary from week to week and no two cows are alike, nor are feeds alike. A practical ration is one that has sufficient protein and enough total food to make the greatest amount of milk without the cow losing weight. A commercially successful ration is the one that makes the most milk or profit, keeps the cow healthy and eu- ables the use of the most roughage. All the hay and ensilage . cow can eat will keep her alive and make about 15 pounds of milk. Any more milk has to come from grain or grain feed. The farm can usually raise carbo- hydrates cheap in the form of hay and ensilage, and, outside of clover, peas, etc., protein can usually, be bought cheaper than it can be raised. The average price of protein feeds with 20 per cent ‘digestible protein was about $25 to $35 per ton betore the war, but the prices are muvh higher now, while hay. (clover) with 5% per cent digestible protein has been rated at.$10 per ton, so the pro- tein feed at $40 would furnish protein about the same as clover at $10. DIFFERENT COWS, DIFFERENT FEEDS. [National Crop Tmprovement Service.) No suggestions that we can offer nor any other formula that can be made can be followed to the letter as a druggist follows the prescription of a physician. Feeds vary in their nu- tritive values, some being better than the average and some not as good, and cows vary in their ability to di- gest and transform nutriment. These conditions make it necessary for the feeder to use a good deal of judgment and not follow too blindly the sugges- tions of others. Any good stock feed is recommended as a base, to be sup- plflmvntpd by home-grown roughage. Mlght Bo Better. “Don’t you ftind your great convenience?’ Dbubbied Mrs. Lightnit.* “You can sit at home and talk all over town.” “Yes,” admitted Aunt Susanna dole- fully, “it is handy. but it's only a twu party line. My sister, Deboral, down in the country, is on a six party line. and she can hear the gossip of the whole district.”"—Telephone News.
