Skinned Milk and Flax Seed Compared
with Whole MILK.

Skinned Milk and Flax Seed Compared
with Whole
At the Iowa station, experiments
have been in progress to determine the
feeding value of ground fax seed for
young calves. A bull and a keifer calf
of the Holstein and shorthcrn breeds
were chosen, the two bulls being fed
on whole milk, and the two heifers on
milk skinned after being set twelve
hours, with as much fax seed as they
could assimilate without securing.
These experiments lasted 3 months,
the calves being weighed every 10 days.
The results indicate:
1, That a ration of skim milk and
ground fax seed compare favorably
with q new milk ration for young
calves
2. The skim milk and fax seed meal
fed calves were less interrupted in
their growth by weaving, than were
the whole-milk calves,
3. A saving value Of butter fat alone
of Sill per month on each calf, was
effected by substituting the ground
fax seed.
4. The cost of producing a pound OF
gain, estimating new milk st SIX cents
per hundred pounds, skim milk at.,lt
cents per hundred pounds, grain / cent
per pound, hay IS per ton the latter
two being fed alike to both lots), and
fax seed meal 80 cents per pound.
was 7-6 cents per pound increase with
the fresh milk ration, and only 5 cents
with the skim milk ration.
1t appears from this that where
there are proper facilities for convert
ing the butter fat into butter, it is
much more economical to feed calves
skim milk and fax seed than whole
milk.

A BIG INSTITUTION.

The big mill, which has been shut
down during the change in the boiler
room, will start up again Wednesday
The new boilers are larger and better
than the old ones. The increase in
the electric light plant gives the light
ing company the largest plant of any
city of the size of Mankato in the
Northwest. In fact, the company
can now handle twice the business
that it now has.
Our citizens may not know it, but
it is nevertheless fact that there
is now invested in the r. D. Hubbard
mill plant the sum of 100000. Few
people realize how much this institu-
tion means to Mankato. Were there
two or three more such plants the
city would be much larger than it is
today. Manufacturing establish
ments, including milling industries,
are the backbone of any city and the
more there are in prosperous
condition the richer and larger the
city becomes.

some have for the stand they have

could not name ticket legally, as the

be nominated by delegate conven-

and bruised, and one of the young
ladies suffered an injured ankle. The
horse ran into n. p. Lees best hack,

DONNELLY'S TALK.

City Hall was well filed Saturday
night to hear Ig. Donnelly present
the Peoples party side Of the cam
paign story. Much the larger portion
of those present were Republicans
and Democrats. Mr.. Donnelly start
ed out by stating that some wicked
Republicans and Democrats had been
slandering him in Mankato. One of
the ISLANDERS, he said, was TO the
effect that Governor Merriam was
paying his campaign expenses. He
stated that while his personal rela-
tions with the Governor were of the
most pleasant nature, as they were
with great many other leading Re-
publicans and Democrats, the Govern
or was not to his knowledge, contrib
uting cent toward paying his cam
paign expenses, nor had not.
The second SANDER was that during
his lifetime he had been everything
politically. This he denied, and pro-
ceeded to enlighten his audience as to
how he had stood politically, without
at all disturbing the statement he
set out to correct.
He then proceeded with his speech,
which was mostly ridicule, and
very little argument. The burden of
his talk was that the country was 60
ing to the devil as fast as it could, land
could only be stopped by giving Ig.
Donnellya good fat office. He pre-
sented no remedy whatever for the
evils which he declared existed, He
would overturn the present condition
of affairs and then haYe the nation
trust to the Peoples party to bring
order out of the chaos that would eX-
ist. He charged the tariff as being at
the bottom of the Homestead trouble
Notwithstanding the fact that Hugh
O'Donnelly, the leader of the strikers,
says it has nothing to do with the
matter whatever. He asked what
benefit the tariff is to the workingmen,
when the miner of anthracite coal
only received 60 cents per ton for dig
ging it out of the bowels of the earth,
when he knew, if he is at all informed
upon the subject. that anthracite
coal is on the free list. He charged
the mortgage foreclosures of the Da-
kotas up to existing social conditions
and very gracefully neglected to say
what effect the repeated crop failure
there for several years had had upon
the people, as that would have spoiled
his story. And so on to the end.
Taken as whole Ig. had his little
calamity piece down to perfection.
