VaIue OF Hay Coz stoel..

Value or Hay for stock.
Experiments have been made in
England as to the comparative value
of hay for stock, with the result that
it is estimated that 100 pounds Of hay
is equal to 275 pounds of green Indian
corn, 400 pounds of green clover, 442
pounds Of rye straw, $50 pounds of
wheat straw, 100 pounds of oat straw.
$50 pounds of barley straw, 153
pounds of pea straw, 200 pounds of
buckwheat straw, 4O8 pounds of dried
corn stalks. us pounds of raw
potates. 504 pounds of turnips, 800
pounds of carrots, 81 pounds of rye.
As pound of wheat, SO pounds of oats,
IS pounds of mixed peas and beans,
81 pounds of buckwheat, So. pounds of
Indian corn, 68 pounds of acorns. los
pounds of wheat bran, 167 pounds of
wheat, pea and oat chaff, 179 pounds
of mixed rye and barley, so pounds of

Keeping Ice without Ice-HOuses.
Ice has passed from the list of lux
uries to that of the necessities of farm
life. Whoever lives where ice is
formed, and so near to body of water
that the hauling will not be too costly,
should have an ice-house. Ice keeps
best in large masses, and in building
1t will be found that house to hold
enough for two years will cost but
little more than one for single years
stock. Occasionally the ice crop fails
over the greater par. of the country.
A mild winter will cause no anxiety
to one who has supply of ice left
over. If one has an abundance of ice,
but no house, and has straw in plenty.
it may be worth while to stack up a
lot, though it can hardly be expected
to last all summer. The ice stack is
especially useful when the ice-house is
not large enough to hold full supply
If the ice is freely used. An ice stack
to be drawn upon during the early
part of the summer, will allow the
store in the house to be long time
undisturbed. If the stack can be
made in a shady place, all the better;
select spot where the water will
drain off. and lay down tier of rails
foot or so apart: on these put layer
of brush, and upon the brush straw to
the thickness Of a foot. If possible
set strong pole in the centre. Now
stack up the ice as in an ice-house,
taking care that the mass does not in
cline to one side. The covering for
the sides may be straw, salt hay, swale
hay, or even leaves, but the latter will
need to be held in place by boards. A
foot in thickness of protecting mate
rails will do. but thicker viii do better;
old boards, with braces to press them
against the straw, etc, may be used if
needed; the stack is to be finished by a
roof of straw, put on with pins and
ropes, as in finishing off hay-stack.
/ On grain farms, where straw is album
dant, the mass Of ice may be- covered
with great thickness of straw, by
building a stack over the ice. In using
from such stack the ice should be
taken off on all sides regularly, and
care taken to properly replace the
covering. The larger such stack the
better-a cube of ice twelve feet on
each side

29.046. 101. The estimated value or
the cows is &423. 1876. GAG, and the esti-
mated value Of other cattle is $685.
229.054. The total amount Of this
species of property is $1.106. us. 703.
The average value of the cows is
$3l.37, and that Of other cattle is
$23. 50. New York has the largest
number of cows used in the CARY
Oslo, 904), and Wyoming the smallest
(4,533). New York has So, 891. 142 in
COWS. and $33.O84.77l in all'other cat
tie. Wyoming has $149,589 in cows
and S23. 456 $50 in other cattle.
The improvements Of cattle by care
and judicious breeding during three
quarters of a century is made evident
in table giving full details on this
point. In the New England States the
value of this improvement is "a per
cent; in New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, SO per cent. in the
Western Central States it is $125, $751;
324 on $316.0O7,714 in the cotton
States. $50, 1902. 499 on $1O6.629,757.
In an investigation by the Bureau
of Statistics of the department made
last April, estimates of the number of
nigh-grade cattle ranged from 5 per
cent. in New Mexico to 40 per cent. in
Ohio and Kentucky. and averaged Is
per cent, or 1928, $50. of total of
over 100000 animals. An attempt
was made to indicate, approximately,
that portion of the present value of
cattle represented by Improvement in
breeding since the introduction of i'm
proved herds, that is. Of the present
value of all cattle, how much is due
to the efforts OF breeders, and what
would be the value of present stock if
in size and quality of the unimproved
natives The average improvement is
IS per cent, and amounts to $685., 000,-
600. This would make the value of
cattle as unimproved natives 1913, 000,-
600, and the real value as improved IS
per cent. more, or over $1,106.000.00O.
To show the extent to which improve
ments by superior blood has been car
ried, attention is called to the large
percentage of high-grade cattle now
found in the States and Territories. 1t
is interesting to note how large this
percentage is in States where agricul-
ture is the leading business. While in
some OF the States the amount of high
grade and pure-bred cattle is only or
8 per cent, in Kentucky it is 40 per
cent; in Ohio. 40; in Indiana. 33; Illi-
nois, IS; and Massachusetts 80 per
cent.
The total number of horned cattle
west of the Mississippi river is esti-
mated at 21,943, 574, with a money
value amounting to $533. 650,871, di-
vided among the States and Territories
of that section. Arizona, with 216,057

FUN AT FoRT LARAMIE.
The Troops Begin the Base bali Season
with Enthusiasm.

To the Editor OF THE LEADER
FoRr LARAMIE, Wyo., March ID
The base ball season was in~augurated to-
day by a match between picked mines of
enlisted men under the immediate cap
t~aincies of Sergeant Kelly and Corporal
johnson.
The presence offs large number of en-
listed men, including the married men
with their families, the officers and their
ladies and a large number of citizens,
evinced the interest which the game had
excited, and speculation ran high as to
the merits of the several players.
Kelly's nine went first to the bat and
found Flannery such a formidable pitcher
for them to strike, that they retired to
the field after securing two runs. John
sons men then waltzed up and batted
Duffy's pitching right and left, and went
out s~couring..fve runs. The second innings
Kelly's men made quite a large run,
owing to the poor fielding and wild throw
ing of the basemen. After this inning
Johnson's men braced up and white
washed their opponents. and both sides
displayed good fielding throughout the
rest of the game. Kelly nine came off
victorious by a score of 10 -. With a
little wedding out and i~nfusing some new
blood, these two mines can be made FIRST
class and prevent such large scores being

In the first ward, and also in the third
ward, two tickets were thrown out because
they were folded together, and in the
second ward Mr.. Reel lost one vote be-
cause a ticket was found wrapped in a
piece of blank paper. His vote in the
second ward was virtually a Democratic
victory, however, and he can honestly
claim that he carried every ward in the
city.
AT the regular election in January III
votes were polled, Mr.. Warren obtaining
a majority of 56-a majority the Republi
cans pronounced a Handsome one. Mr..
Reels very complimentary majority Of
l36 is more than handsome, for it shows
that he was the choice of the people, and
that he was chosen because the people be-
lieve him to be the right man for the
place.
The law provides that the council shall
meet and canvas sthe vote the first Friday
after the election, and 80 Mr.. Reel will
not take his seat until that time. He will
be the first Democratic mayor since Mayor
Bresnahen oficiated, six years ago.
The change in the second ward shows
a Democntic gain of 1856, hat being Mr..
Warren's majority, and hence a cleal
sweep is rightfully claimed
The news goes abroad that for the first
time in six years Cheyenne has elected, by
an extraordinary majority, a Democratic
mayor. The victory was honestly earned.
and hence the Democracy can congratu
late itself upon a signal triumph, honor
orably achieved.

The storm Of Monday night did not in
terfere with the election, and a large
female vote was polled. The campalpu
had been quietly conducted, and many
thought a light vote would be recorded
Upon the surface there seemed TO be but
little excitement. but an intelligent and
earnest interest was soon evident, and
when>the polls closed a larger vote had
been east than at the regular election in
January.
The several voting places we're opened
promptly at Q O'Clock. The residents of
the first ward voted at the Metropolitan
hotel. the polls of the second ward were
at the Alert hose house. and those of the
third ward at the city hall. Voters APP
peared in a casual way until about 10
O'Clock, when a more steady vote began.
The Democratic workers were out in force,
and appeared confident; and in the be-
ginning the Republicans were almost joy
Gus in their conviction of an assured vic
tory. About IL O'Clock it was evident
that the light vote in the boxes gave the
Republicans no grounds for enthusiasm.
At noon 100 votes had been poIled in
the first ward; in the second ward l35
ballots were in the box, and in the third
ward the box contained 100 votes. 1t was
then an open secret that Mr.. Reel had a
snug majority, and the Republicans be
came disheartened. By o'clock several
Republican workers retired from the field,
