SUFFRAGE IS BEATEN
VOTES FOR WOMEN DEFEATED BV
BIG MAJORITIES IN EAST.
FIRST POPULAR VOTE ON ISSUE
Amendment Loses Three to One In
Pennsylvania—Prohibition Re
jec-ted Again in Ohio.
New York.—New York, Massachus
etts and Pennsylvania defeated suf
frage for women by overwhelming ma
jorities in Tuesday's election. This
is the first popular vote on the suf
frage question In the eastern states.
New Jersey, the only other eastern
state that has voted on the question,
defeated the proposition at a special
election on October 19, by a majority
of 56,000. In none of these four
states will the women have the op
portunity of getting the suffrage prop
osition before the voters again for
some time—four years in New York;
five in Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
and two in Massachusetts. The anti
suffrage voting appears from the re
turns thus far given to have been the
strongest in Pennsylvania, where the
ratio is roughly estimated as high as
three to one against suffrage. Massa
chusetts appears to have been next
with a ratio of about two to one, while
New Y'ork state, as had been expected,
from the fact that the campaign had
been waged so strongly there, had the
closest ratio, of about four to three.
Notwithstanding the heavy anti
suffrage majorities, women leaders
claim to see some reason for jubila
tion because it was realized that tho
states where their cause was on trial
were considered conservative strong
holds..
One general phase of the voting is
that the anti-suffrage ratios were quite
as strong in the large cities, where
the suffragists naturally centered
their campaigns, as in the rural dis
tricts, where there was less cam
paign activity. New York City, with
oniy 161 districts missing out of
2,079 districts, gave 302,233 against
suffrage as compared with 212,486 for
the amendment at Buffalo, the second
largest city in the state, Rochester.
Albany, Troy, and a majority of tire
cities of the state went against suf
frage by unquestionable majorities.
In Boston, the anti-suffragists show
ed overwhelming strength, while in
Philadelphia, the ratio in most of the
election districts first heard from, in
dicated a vote of ten to one in oppo
sition to giving women the vote.
The voters of New York also de
feated unequivocally the proposal to
adopt a new state constitution. The
vote against this measure is estimated
at 250,OCO at least The state of Vir
ginia elected a state legislature
pledged to enact measures in 1916 pro
hibiting the sale of intoxicants.
Democratic successes were recorded
in Mississippi. All the candidates of
this party for both branches of the
state legislature were returned.
Returns from the election in Mary
land indicated the election of M. C.
Harrington, democrat, as governor,
over O. E. Weller, republican.
Republicans Win in Bay State.
Boston.—From all indications Sam
uel W. McCall, republican, was elect
ed governor of Massachusetts, defeat
ing Governor David 1. Walsh, demo
crat, in a close contest. The balance
of the republican state ticket was
elected and the republicans made a
net gain of twelve seats in the lower
branch of the legislature, with no
change in the senate. The woman
suffrage amendment was defeated de
cisively. With thirty precincts miss
ing, the vote was: Yes, 147,260; no,
270,788.
Ohio Votes Wet Again.
Columbus, O.—For the second time
in two years, Ohio voters rejected a
state-wide prohibition amendment to
the constitution. Estimates based on
partial returns show that the pro
posal was defeated by a majority
which may reach 40,000. Last year’s
majority against prohibition was
84,000.
Detroit Against Purchase.
Detroit.—Detroit voters rejected
the proposition to purchase from the
Detroit United railway the street car
lines and property within the one
fare zone. The plan, which, to be
successful, required a two-thirds
majority, received less than 50 per
cent of the votes cast, according to
available figures.
Food for British Prisoners.
London.—Travelers arriving from
Scandinavia say reports are current
there that the British government is
now supplying food to British prison
ers in Germany.
Soldiers Immune From Divorce.
London.—Divorce cases against of
ficers and men serving at the front
will have to stand over until they re
turn to Great Britain. Such was the
decision of Justice Deane when asked
to serve divorce petition upon an of
ficer at war.
Coal Sells at $30 a Ton.
Rome.—The price of coal having
risen to $30 a ton, arrangements are
being made to Import coal from
Japan, where it is obtainable at 6
yen ($3) a ton.

FARM HORSE FILLS IMPORTANT PLACE
A Money-Maker on Any Farm.
(By C. M. SCHULZ.)
When the active working season on
the farm will have a little let up, the
farmer can have a moment to spare
to ascertain of what value his brood
mares have been.
He will remember, in the first place,
that they have each given birth this
season and have raised to weaning age
a nice promising colt that bids fair
to develop into a good salable horse
later on.
These youngsters are increasing in
value and as they are yearlings now
will help to make their living next
season as two year o-ds. The brood
mare$ have also done much farm and
road work.
Probably I make a mistake in cred
iting each mare with a colt every
ye*; so it is safer to say that count
ing for accidents a mare should aver
age two colts every three years.
It would be rather a hard matter
to say just what product she will give
her owner each year of her working
and breeding life. So much depends
on her quality and especially upon her
capacity as a sure breeder and like
wise as a good mother.
Mares, like cows, differ greatly in
their flow of milk and many times a
medium-sized animal with heavy milk
flow capacity will raise a bigger and
better colt than a much larger ani
mal whose milk flow is insufficient.
The practical horse breeder and the
farmer of experience is well aware of
these facts and one will often be sur
prised to see farmers keep breeding
mares that to the uninitiated appear
to be indifferent specimens.
Say that a farmer has bought a
mare in January for $150. She is five
years old and he breeds her in March.
The stud fee is $25, but the money is
not due unless the mare proves to be
in foal.
The colt has cost $25 at birth and
at weaning time, four months later,
he would be worth, if a good individ
ual and a good grade, say, $40.
By next spring he should be worth
$75. and at two years old should bring
$100 to $125. Now he can be put to
work.
From then until he is four years
old he should earn his feed—say $75
a year—and give a profit of $25 per
year, although $50 wou’d be nearer
the mark.
At four years of age he should be
worth $200, Judging from the way
well-bred, well-broken and well-kept
horses are row selling.
We will say that a breeder is lucky
enough to have raised a pair of four
year-olds, sound, good lookers, hearty,
with snap and style, weighing from
1,200 to 1,400 pounds each, for the
pair $400 can easily be had in any of
the big markets.
These are not fanciful figures but
aro based upon actual experience of
everyday farmers of breeding, raising
and selling colts.
Every farmer should, if possible,
keep one or more good brood mares,
not fcroken-winded, worn-out, city
hacks, but sound, well-shaped, well
bred animals that possess indlvidal
merit and whose progeny will sell
readily when the dealer comes along.
Any breeder cf experience knows
well that almost as much depends on
the brood mares as upon the stallion in
the raising of any breed Of good
horses.
Many colts take their conformation
from their mother, espeeiaily from
their shoulders back. For instance, if
a mare has wide, ragged hips, her
colts are most liable to tniierit this
tendency. Many colts also inherit
their dispositions from theb* dams.
Brood mares should be sound, of
quiet disposition, strongly Ymilt, and
they should be well cared for.
The mare can be worked up to a
week or two before the colt is
dropped. In fact, she is better off
for the regular exercise, but she
should be handled by a careful man,
who will not excite her, and Bbe should
have a roomy box stall for her sleep
ing quarters.
Although many may disagree with
me, I am firmly convinced from nearly
30 years’ experience cm breeding
farms, that it is a risky business pur
chasing aged mares, who have spent
the best years of their lives doing work
in the cities, and trying to make
brood mares of them.
In the first place when a mare has
arrived at that age, and has never
had a colt, her chances of getting in
foal are lessened each year.
Furthermore, it Is safe to say that
a reasonable proportion of these mares
have slunked their colts, and for this
reason they have been sent from the
farm and sold in the cities, where
they can do excellent work.
FENCING FOR SHEEP
IS TOUGH PROBLEM
Most Sheep Raisers Use Woven
Wire From 30 to 40 Inches
High—Put Barbs on Top.
(By E. RUSSELL. North Dako'a Agricul
tural College.)
The fencing problem has always
loomed up big to the beginner in rais
ing sheep. It is not, however, a very
difficult one if it is undertaken in an
intelligent manner. It does pot re
quire a heavy fence to hold sheep,
though barbed wire will not make sat
isfactory sheep fence. Most sheep
raisers use a fence constructed of
woven wire from 30 to 42 inches high,
with five to nine horizontal wizes and
16 to 20 stays to the rod. Any fence
coming inside these limits, if put up
with a post each 14 to 16 feet, will
prove satisfactory for sheep. If a 40
inch woven wire is used it should have
at least one barbed wire on top of it.
It usually pays to put one or two \
barbed wires on top of the woven wire, j
however, as this will make a fence |
that will turn horses and cattle as j
well as sheep.
Clay Soil Fertility.
*To keep the fertility of clay soils
it is necessary to add considerable
vegetable matter. This is best done
by using all available manure and in
addition by turning under an occasion
al second crop of clover or other
legume. Even in the natural state
clay soils rarely contain much hu
mus. The supply of phosphorus is also
limited and should he Increased by the
addition of phosphate fertilizer to sup
plement the farm manure.
Picking Chickens.
Instead of dipping fowls in scalding
water to get the feathers off—if you
will use that poor way of picking—put
boiling water in a wash boiler or some
big vessel, lay sticks on the top of it
to set the fowls on, then let the water
boil hard. The steam will loosen the
plumage without wetting it. Turn the
birds over and over until the feathers
come off easily. Do not leave them
over the steam long at a time.

TRIED CURES FOR
POULTRY DISEASES
Avoid Leg Weakness in Chicks by
Proper Feeding—Remedy
for Swelled Head.
Leg weakness in (thicks is often due
to the food being of a fattening na
true, and the bedim, in consequence,
become too heavy for the muscular
strength of the chick’s legs. There
should be bran fo the soft food that
la fed, It being om of the best bone
and muscle foodn that could be given.
Afflicted chick!? (should be given
quinine water dvlty—made by dissolv
ing five grains ot quinffie in a quart
of drinking wfftir. Also add bone
meal and charcoAi, and also give green
food daily.
Very often fowls, from some unex
plainable cavse. will become afflicted
with .swelled h”5td and fever. Ex
posure to a draft of air. while roost
ing at night, however, is the most com
mon reason, in which case the eye
nearest the draff becomes first af
fected. In itself, swelled head is not
roup, but when tr-o lumps appear it is
one of the first e*»:ges of that disease.
A very good treatment is to mix one
part spirits of ^lrpentine and four
parts of sweet oT. With this anoint
the head, face ar c! comb daily. Then
give, twice a da’, a pill composed of
equal parts of bte-mide of potash and

drinking water.

NOT SUITABLE FOR THE NAVY
Would-Be Sailors Hardly Understood
the Duties Required of Fighters
on the Ships of U. S.
They tell a story about a certain
secretary of the navy who had never
seen a ship, and who exclaimed, when
he began to explore a man-of-war,
“Good gracious, it’s hollow! This is
an unlikely yarn, but it is a fact that
there are people who apparently know
as little about a ship as a Sioux In
dian.
Some weeks ago a man visited the
receiving ship Wabash, lying at the
Charlestown (Mass.) navy yard, and
said he would like to ship, but would
not enlist if he could not be given
work to which he was accustomed.
He was not enlisted, for he would be
useless. He was a paperhanger.
Another man went aboard and
asked to see the captain. He was in
formed that that official was very
busy. He then made his errand
known to the officer of the deck. He
wanted to enlist and care for the cap
tain’s horse, for he was a stableman.
Another wanted to enlist as a ship's
roofer, and once a gardener called to
obtain employment. Flowers and gar
dens are scarce on board of a United
States man-of-war, so he failed to en
ter the service.
