lOtai ....5.. .t70 lbs 6,725 lbs
BY the table one acre of cats
and one acre of corn, produc-
ing at the rates assumed, together
give $40 pounds Of digestible protein
and 5,152 pounds OF digestible Carlo
hydrates. These have q nutritiye ratio
OF one to ten; that is, in feeding these
one would give his cattle one pound of
protein to twelve Of carbohydrates.
The German standard for maintaining
cattle (not fattening or growing), is
one OF protein to twelve Of carbo-
hydrates. So this provides ration
richer in protein than one necessary to
simply maintain cattle. In view of
the results obtained by our American
experimenters, notably Sanborn Cald-
well and Armsby, and from practical
experience should say that this would
be a very fine feed .or all kinds OF stock
not heavily worked or producing
much milk. For animals producing
large flow of milk or working ami
mails, the ration should be supple-
mented by supplying each animal with
two or five pounds OF bran or oil-meal
per day, to furnish additional protein. II
our correspondent can raise the amount
of feed here stated from two acres OF
land and can get his cattle to eat all of
it, he has one of the very best rations
that could be planned. It will require
some tact and study, however, to get
the cattle to eat up mixed feed with
out waste. When the animals are fed
such a mixture as this they push their
feed about to pick out the grain and
choicer parts, and having breathed
over it there will be tendency to
leave considerable uneaten. If the
uneaten portion is thrown away the
loss may be SO great as to cut out all
grain by this method. If not over-fed
and managed with judgment the stock
can be induced to clean out their feed
boxes each meal. It is surprising to
see the difference in feeders in this
particular; some will have from half
to two-thirds of the cut feed to shovel
out into the manure pile, while others
getting satisfactory returns from their
animals will have every thing eaten
clean. The practice our corresp ondent
proposes to adopt is a valuable one
and well worthy of careful study

The Drinking Evil.

The real evil in our community Is
the drinking of intoxicating liquor.
1t is drinking, the evil of which I'M
cludes and overshadows the evil OF
the sale; it is drinking, the evil OF
which includes and overshadows the
evil of intemperance. In our right
eous onslaught upon the sale OF liquor
we must not forget this fact.
would not for a moment weaken
the sentiment which condemns the
liquor traffic. 1t is cursed trade; it
is business abhorrent to true men
and to God; it is intrenched in power;
it affiliates with, encourages and di-
reefs the worst element of society. 1t
threatens the prosperity and very ex-
istence of government. But, however
bad, abhorrent and dangerous the sale
may be, it is drink which debases man.
hood, which poisons social life, which
imperils free. government.
The sale of liquor goes on simply be-
cause men drink. The efforts to. sup.
press or restrain. the sale are alike
futile simply because men drink-be-
cause you drink, my friend. if you do.
Liquor is sold to be drank. 1t is unde-
niable that liquor-selling encourages
drinking and causes drinking. In q
true sense liquor-selling makes drunk
ards, results in horrid waste, begets
crime. But it is equally undeniable
that, without drinking, none of these
dreadful results win follow the sale.
In truer sense. it is drinking that
makes drunkards; drinking that wastes
an / destroys; drinking that generates
crime.-U S. Senator Platt, at Wood

THE HOT WIND THEORY.

The prestige of a name often stands for
brains. Charles Francis Adams, through
the Kansas City Times, suggests the pos
sibility of lowering the temperature of
the hot winds which occasionally sweep
across Kansas for from one to three days
in the latter part of July, doing damage
to the tassel of such corn as has Just
come into bloom. These hot blasts do
not occur every year, but frequently.
Some years they undoubtedly shorten
the corn crop. He suggests. and the
idea is not new or original with him.
that the cultivation of the Indian Terri
tory would have the effect of modifying
and cooling these winds by the adj
ded moisture which would be
gathered up by them IN sweeping
across the cultivated area. as
Stunning Of course that the Indian Terri
tory is q vast sunburned and arid prai-
RE The truth is the Indian Territory
and northern and Panhandle Texas this
year were alt covered with luXuriant
green grasses and that the rain fall was
in excess of ordinary years. At the very
time that the hot winds or more correct
" warm puffs of wind were being felt in
western Kansas this summer the Indian
Territory was unusually luXuriant and
green. These heated winds come from
beyond the territory, if they come at all,
from the thousands upon thousands of
square miles, from the millions upon
millions Of square leagues of bare bronze
mountains and hot sandy deserts lying
almost beneath the vertical sun in Mex
leo. But, it is very questionable if the
said hot winds came from any place be-
yond the state. They only occur when
there Is a lack of moisture in our soil
and probably owe their temperature to
the radiated heat from our own prairies
and fields.

THELUMBER TARIFF,

Some artess free traders seem to think
it strange that Kansas Republicans should
favor the retention of the duty on lum-
Der, inasmuch as the state produces
none and depends upon the general mar
ket for all of that material it needs. in
view of the condition Of the lumber
interests and trade, as shown by the Off
cial report of Consul Hotchkiss at Otta-
wa, Ont, after making close investiga-
ton of the subject, nothing but an in
nate disposition to destroy the protective
system under which the country has
prospered for quarter of century past
as it never did before could induce Re-
publicans in Kansas and friends of our
protective system everywhere to favor
free lumber any sooner than free wool or
free salt. Mr.. Hotchkiss in his report
says:
There is no dispute that the American
manufacturer controls the making OF
prices. In doing this he is not influenced
by the Canadian supply in any degree. If
the 80 duty is removed it will not affect
the American price, because 1t has never
been a factor and will still be unfeit. No
lower price will prevail in the United
States than heretofore, and no different re
suits will be experienced by the mannfac-
turer.
The Canadian, on the contrary, will lay
his lumber down in the American market
at 81 less per thousand, and will obtain for
it the same as the American does, so that
the net result to the Canadian manutac-
turer Will be clear gain OF the - which
the American government has RENTED.

A FREE TRADE EXPERT.

Henry George may be called free
trade expert" He is certainly free
trade enthusiast, and here is what he says
in the Standard of Cleveland's letter of
acceptance:
Would he hold firmly to the stand
taken in the message with which he pre-
cipitated the Tariff question into the arena
of practical politics, and ''turned the
country into a debating club, or would
he, yielding to the pressure of protection
list Democrats, attempt to "hedge. by
taking less aggressive position: This
was the question which his letter OF ac-
ceptance alone could settle. 1t has set
tied it, and decisively. The president
has not flinched hairs breadth. On the
contrary, his letter of acceptance not
only reiterateS and reinforces the argu-
arguments of the message, but in inn
portant respects shows a significant adj
vance Not only do his arguments IN
the message, like his arguments IN the
letter, 90. when carried to their logical
conclusions, to the utter destruction OF
the idea that protection can benefit the
people, but they go even further-tQ the
conclusion that all tariff taxes should be
abolished and the public revenue raised
by direct taxation.
