Hitler Says Germany to Win
Adolf Hitler told a Sportspalast
mass meeting that Britain and France
alike will get “the fight” he claimed
they asked for, and said he was sure
Germany would win the war. It was
the seventh anniversary of his eleva

the first formal one he had made since
November 8th, when he escaped death

Feeding the brood mare is also, im
portant. Good condition, even to the
point of laying on some extra fat, is
ideal provided she is kept well exer
cised. Good quality hay,, preferably
containing some legumes,-and a grain
mixture made up of three parts crush
ed or rolled oats and one part bran,
make a good ration. The amount of
grain fed depends on the size and con
dition of the mare, one pound,-of grain
for each hundredweight of the animal
being a good average. A Saturday'
night’bran mash is an excellent regu
lator for the brood mare and in fact,
for all horses. Salt is needed and
iodized block salt should be kept be
fore the mare at all times. ’ .
Additional potassium iodide for the
prevention of joint-ill in the foal is
good for the in-foal mare, but will not
replace good care and feeding. The
potassium iodide in crystal form can
be obtained from any druggist and
one-half a teaspoonful may be dissolv
ed in part of the drinking water or
given in the feed once every ten da^s •
until foaling. The strength and vigour
of the coming foal may depend on
care of the brood mare. Give her a
little extra attention now and the ef
fort will give good returns,
