UNITED STATES DEMANDS ALL E RIGHTS AT SEA FOR AMER ICANS. : PAGE TO PRESENT THE NOTE British Policy Blamed for Depression in Industry in This Country, and ~ England Is Given Warning of Public Sentiment Aroused. Washington, Dec. 30.—The United States government on Monday dis f:tched a long note to Great Britain sisting upon an early improvement in tl}e treatment of American com merce by the British fleet. It gave warning that much feeling had been aroused in this country, and that public criticism was general over unwarranied interference with the legitimate foreign trade of the United States. : The document, constituting the ‘strongest representation on this sub ject made by the United States to any of the belligerents since the outbreak of the war, was cabled to Ambassador Page to be formally presented to Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign sec retary. Its preparation was begun a month ago by Solicitor Cone Johnson, Coun selor Robert Lansing and Secretary Bryan, and finally during the last two weeks had the personal attention of President Wilson himself, who revised its phraseology with minute care. As the detailed point of view of the United States in numerous specific cases of detentions and seizures of cargoes had been set forth in a series of emphatic protests, most of which have gone unheeded, the com munication was couched in general terms covering the entire subjec: of the relations between the United States and Great Britain as affected by the latter’s naval policy, consid ered highly objectionable by this gov ernment. The note declares at the outset that the representations are made in 2 friendly spirit, but that the United States considers it best to speak in terms of frankness, lest silence be con strued as acquiescence in a policy on the part of Great Britain which in fringed the rights of American citizens under the laws of nations. Since France has adopted practically the same decrees on @&ontraband as has Great Britain, the note is virtually a statement intended for all the members of the triple entente. The document points out that com plaints on every side and public criti cism in the United States hold the British policy as directly responsible for the depression in many American industries, a situation the seriousness of which must be apparent to Great Britain. Feeling has been aroused on the sub ject to such an extent, the communica tion adds, that the American govern ment feels compelled to ask for defi nite information as to Great Britain’s attitude in order that it may take such measures as will protect American cit izens in their rights. Five months have now elapsed, the note asserts, with no improvement in the situation. In the meantime Amer ican shippers have availed themselves of various suggestions from the Brit ish government, such as shipping car goes to definitely named consignees in JDeutral countries and the taking out of certificates from consuls in this coun try, which followed promises of the British foreign office that the allied fleets consequently would cease deten tions of these cargoes. The situation, however, is described as having hardly improved after these concessions. FRANK APPEAL IS ALLOWED Atlanta (Ga.)

(By R. G. WEATHERSTONE.) Hog troughs should be arranged so that they can be quickly and thor oughly cleaned and all feed left over removed. : : It is a good practice to have the water troughs made so they can be emptied as soon as the hogs have drunk their fill, as this prevents troughs from becoming filthy by the hogs walking and rooting in them. 'Hogs need a moderate amount of salt but if it is placed in large quan tities 'where they can reach it at all times occasionally they will eat more than is good for them. Never send a hog hungry to bed any more than you would a boy. A heavy feed at night will help te keep up the heat. 3 After experience with both perma nent hog houses, and small portable ghelters that can be readily moved from place to placey the writer con siders the small colony house much superior, so far as maintaining the health of the swine is concerned, and they are also less expensive. Whichever type of house is used, it should have a good floor that can be easily cleaned and disinfected. In dry weather a dirt floor becomes worked up into a fine dust that is injurious to pigs when inhaled; in wet. weather it is difficult to keep the bed dry. 4 Bedding for swine should be scant, but of good quality. Forest leaves or corn husks make excellent bedding. Straw soon becomes ground into a dust that is irritating to the lungs and makes the pigs cough. When infected with germs it is liable to cause chronic pneumonia. ¢ ; All hog houses should be kept clean; they should be thoroughly disinfected every two or three months and a coat of disinfecting whitewash applied. CONVENIENT FOR LIVE STOCK Watering Trough Mounted on Cross pieces So That It Can Be Tipped Upon Its Side to Drain. ° As the usual method of draining a watering trowgh for horses by means e = <TN b» “\: T A % \\\ o SSWaa “\‘ - ‘\//"/’;’;// " Teasl ) ‘\.—” il =1 " : s:_-.¥ : \ [ / a\ 1 s \ 1 ‘ Y ) : J&—lF i % T~ Vi ‘B 3] 1 : V \ Nea Y o / , 3 t : ? Hinged Watering Trough. of a plug or valve was unsatisfactory on account of the freezing up of the parts, I set out to'devise some other means and the result was the hinged construction shown jin the sketch, writes Thos. L. Parker of Wibaux, Mont., in Popular Mechanics. For this purpose the trough was mounted on crosspieces in the usual manner and hinges were placed at one side so that the trough could be tipped upon its side to drain. A small handle may be nailed at the end of the trough to make the tipping easier. PROPER CARE OF THE HORSE Idle Animals Often Are Injured or Lost by Overfeeding—Many Colds May Be Prevented. A Pennsylvania man had a fine young horse die from nothing in the world but overfeeding when not in work. If he had cut the ration down to one-half while the animal was standing in the stable idle, it would not have had azoturia, a disease that is almost always fatal. When your horses take cold, a few drops of oil of tar dropped into the feed will do a lot of good. ‘When you put the horse in the sta ble, wet from hard work or driving on the road, ryb down first with dry straw, then put on a light blanket, later following with a heavier one. A horse cared for that way will rare ly take cold. Selecting Sows for Breeding. Every sow selected for breeding purposes should be docile. An irri table, nervous animal will prove un satisfactory for breeding. Young pigs do act always betray this peculiarity, even though they possess it in a high degr e, hence the character of the motk :r should be noted in this respect. Charcoal Is Valuable Adjunct. Charcoal is a very safe and valuablé adjunct to your feeding variety. A little of it goes a long way, but that little tends to keep everything in health. If the coal is hard to obtain burn some corn and feed that while it is fresh at least twice a week and. it will be of benefit to all partakers.
