BEETS AS FEED FOR COWS.
interesting and Conclusive Experiment
Made at the Ohio Station.

Interesting and Conclusive Experiments
Made at the Ohio Station.
A bulletin issued by the Ohio expert
ment station gives the results of an
experiment in feeding sugar beets to
mich cows, made last winter, together
with summary of two similar expert
ments, one made by the station in 1889
and one by the farm department Of the
Ohio State University in 1879.
In the last named experiment eight
cows We're kept under test for eleven
weeks; in 1889 twelve cows for eight
weeks, and in 1890 twelve cows for nine
weeks, the cows in each case being
weighed daily, as well as their feed and
milk. In each of the three experiments
the cows ate more hay and more total
dry matter when feeding on beets than
ON other foods (hay, meal and bran in
1879, corn silage in 1889 and lS9O). and in
each case more milk was given from the
beets than from the other foods, but it is
not yet demonstrated that the increase
OF milk was produced economically.
For twelve years records have been
Kept on the farm now occupied by the
station which show that the average
Yield OF beets over this perioi has been
nearly sixteen tons per acre. against an
annual yield of about fifty-five bushels
OF shelled corn per acre But crop of
hfty-tive bushels of shelled corn. with
its fodder, viii contain nearly twice as
much dry matter as sixteen tons of beets,
and these experiments indicate that,
whether fed dry, as corn meal and dry
fodder, or as corn ensilage. the dry mat
ter OF the corn crop Will be found about
as effective, pound for pound, as the dry
matter OF the beet crop.
1t Is possible to raise much more than
sixteen tons of beets to the acre. One
crop of two acres is reported at 375 tons
per acre, and smaller areas have given
still larger yields, but such crops require
very rich land and thorough culture.
Whether it is possible to produce a
pound of dry matter i'll beets as eco
nomically as it can he done in corn is not
yet definitely settled, but the probabili-
ties are against it.

What Apiarists Tell One Another.
San Diego county, Cal, expects Weld
of nearly 800, 900 pounds of honey this
season.
The editor of The American Bee Jour
nal says on the subject of feeding
swarms in a honey blow to forward
storing: When honey can be obtained
from the flowers it is useless to try to
feed" the bees in any other way. They
prefer the fresh nectar from the flora,
and will gather and store it in the
combs. and entirely ignore all the food
you place before them.

BY all Means Beat the Force

BY all Means Beat the Force
Don't forget about the force bill.
The tariff bill has become a law; the
country may punish the Republican
party for the Mckinley outrage,
but it can not at present undo it.
On the other hand the force bill is
still pending, and there are Re-
publican Senators who will not dare
to vote for it if the country pro-
nounces strongly in opposition to
the conduct of the House in the
Fifty-first Congress-. Even pro-
tectiouists can afford to vote for
Democratic candidates for Congress-
the tariff law can not be reached for
yearor two under any circumstan-
ees, but the force bill may be head
ed of.
There is a very considerable
Northern sentiment against the
force bill. The only way it car
make itself felt is by elacting {
large Democratic majority to the
next House, Every man who love:
a Republican form of government
and popular institutions owes it IL

bill becomes a law.
We don't believe that Republicans
want to see certificate of election

of the ballots tossed into the waste

who incribes on the roll of Mem

We don't believe that Republican

can prevent it is by allowing tn

AN IMPORTANT POINT
For Every Democratic Voter to
Think of
How to Kill the Force
Bill.
1t Can be Done Easily on Next
Tuesday, Nov. A.

National Democrat
Every Democratic voter in every
close congressional district should
understand that vote for the Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress is a
vote to kill the force bill. Speaker
Reed realizes better than any one
else the fact that a large Democratic
majority in the next House of Rep
resentatives means the defeat of his
favorite measure.
This is the reason why he is go
ing to all the close districts in the
West and urging the Republicans
to come up to the polls, and save
him and his party from the disaster
which stares them in the face.
Let us explain the situation lit
tie:
There are more than twenty-five
Republican members of the House
of Representatives who are anxious
to throw off the yoke of Reed, in
which their necks are now closely
held, and declare their independence
of his oduios domination.
If, in November, a Republican
majority in the next House shall be
elected, every one of these men will
know that Reeds rule is likely to
be continued during the next Con-
gress, and they will remain in a
submissive attitude, for fear of the
Maine despot.
But if a clear Democratic majority
shall be elected, then these uneasy
and uncomfortable Republican mem
bers will at once pc. ceive that in
the next Congress Reed will be of
rather less account on the floor
than other members of his party.
For it is very safe to say that
Reed, as a leader of Republican
minority, will receive scant consid-
Grafton from Democratic majority,
no matter what Democrat may &C.
cupy the Speakers chair.
Now the force bill cannot pass at
the coming short session without go
ing back from the Senate to the
House. The Senate intends to pass
a substitute for the House bill, and
it is certain to amend 1t, SO that tho
House must concur in the passage
of the act. We believe that there
is enough Republican opposition in
the House to kill the bill, If Reeds
hand is paralyzed on November 4,
Members like Hammer, of Philadel-
phia, openly declare that it shall
never pass.
The election of dozen Demo.
cratic members, more or less, next
month will settle the fate of the
force bill.
Therefore, Democrats come out
and vote every one of you; your bal
lot may never count for so much
again as it will this year.
Every. Democratic leader should
enforce this fact in his appeals to
the people.

A Last WORD.

This is probably our last issue be-
fore the election, and we want to
impress upon the voter who is hon
est enough to admit that they arc
being crushed and impoverished by
the tariff tax, to be at the polls next
Tuesday. There is but one way to
relieve yourselves from the tax bur-
den, and that is to vote the Demo
cratic ticket.
The Democratic platform of prin-
.cipIes rings out the alarm, telling
.of the dangers that surround you,
and pointing the way to relief and
safety. The people are awakened;
all classes of workingmen, and es-
pecially the farmers, are alarmed,
and are preparing to march in un.
broken phalanx upon the breast
works of the covering defenders
of a protective tariff Should our
people be less determined
The force bill that proposes to in
wade your homes and surround the
ballot boxes of the people, with
troops, should receive the condem-
nation of every liberty loving voter
.on next Tuesday.
Upon the platform of the right,
tths people must crush out those
who would crush them.
Be freemen, and dare to do the
right.

Look AT Your Bills and Vote
the Democratic Ticker.

IF you like to have the cost of
your living increased by Federal
taxation at a time when the country
is in profound peace and the Treas
ury has been struggling with the
problem of surplus revenue, then
go and vote for the Republican can
didate for Congress.
If you like to have the price OF
linseed oil to paint yonr house with
and glass for your windows, new
carpet for your parlor, and bureau
and mirror for your bed room in
creased in price by a tax that will
not benefit the Government at all,
but will go straight into the pocket
of some manufacturer or other, who
is probably member of some trust
or combine that is arbitrarily fixing
prices, then go and vote for the Re
publican candidate for Congress.
If you, madam, like to have the
price of table cloth and set of nap
kins, of table cutlery, glass ware
and crockery, of your fall bonnet,
your winter wrap, and all the ho-
siery and underware for yourself
and your children, and of every
piece of tin ware you need in your
kitchen and every can of food you
buy for your table increased by a
tariff law whose schedules were die
tated to Mr. McKinley's committee
by the trusts and corporations that
are going to rake in your money,
then by all means tell your hus-
band to go to the polls and vote for
the Republican candidate for Con-
gress.
If you, young man, really enjoy
paying 25 or 80 per cent. extra for
the shot gun you go hunting with
this fall in order to increase the for
tune of some shot gun manufacturer,
then by all means go to the polls
and cast your first ballot for the
Republican candidate for Congress.
If you. bereaved father, or hus-
band or son, find any consolation in
the sacred privilege of paying %
per cent. extra for coffin and 80 or
40 per cent extra for grave stone,
then do not fail on any account to
cast black bordered ballot for the
Republican candidate for Congress.
Every tradesman's bill from now
on, every merchants advertisement
since October l is a Democratic
campaign document more eloquent
than any speech in Congress.
Why these additional taxes? The
Government does not need them,
the Government will not get cent
of them. This Mckinley bill that
increases your expenses reduces the
revenue of the nation. Who does
get the money you pay? The man

Now that the Mckinley
bill is a law, everybody
needs a pension.

Senator Hoar and Major McKin-

people that there is more free trade

bill had that become a law. Then
why did they yell two years ago
that the Mills bill was a free trade
scheme that would ruin American
industries.
