Afternoon Meeting.

Sharp on time, the house was packed
with eager listeners to hear Prof W. H.
Jordan. director of the experiment station
at Orono He gave, in his usual pointed
and emphatic style one of his best. most
instructive and useful lectures. His sub
ject was the Bovine Supply of Human
Food 1t had largely to do with figures,
though dull, are giving us useful and in
teresting facts, Notwithstanding. The cost
of human food, he says, involves two fac
tors The farmer is a producer of food,
which is our factor, and his labor in con
verting these foods into milk, cheese,
meat, etc, is the other factor. How are
figures to be depended upon? TO prove a
thing proves a good deal, and figures prove
interesting things sometimes. 1t is said
figures won't lie. but they are so manipu-
lated sometimes as to get wide of the
truth
He has more faith in the % experiment
stations in the country than in popular
notions. He has seen too many public
notions exploded. We must have exact
experience; no estimate, no guess work.
There is percentage of error in every
thing. BY exact experience is meant rela-
tive experience. The results of our cx-
pertinent stations very nearly agree so
thai there is no essential difference. He
made up his mind that he would figure
out and show the relation between the
food eaten and what is produced by it.
The percentage of dressed weight to live
weight in steers is 81. 4. In the compost
ton of "a dressed carcass, We throw away
i'm what cannot be eaten, is pounds ont
of every hundred, so that in the steer we
get only 464 pounds Of food in each hun
dred pounds Of his live weight The rest,
as food. is thrown away. But of milk we
throw away nothing it is all eatable, all
digestible. So with eggs we throw away
nothing but the she'll, milk and eggs are
a perfect food One of our cows at Orono
produced rs much human food IN one
year as there is in four one thousand
pound steers.
In 100 pounds of digestible dry cattle
food, there will be produced in milk 5.5
pounds of butter fat. and 6.o pounds of
butter. Don't be misled here. Bear in
mind that butter fat is all fat, and butter
is composed Of fat, water and sait.) In
100 pounds of green cheese, 14.6 pounds; !;
in milk, 13 8 pounds; in dressed pork, %
pounds: in dressed beef, So pounds
and in dressed mutton, pounds.
One hundred pounds of digestible dry
matter in the food for animals, will pro-
duce in milk, Is pounds Of solids; in pork,
1893 pounds of edible solids; in beef, 3. %
pounds Of edible solids; and in mutton,
2.44 pounds of edible solids.
In the entire value of skim milk we have
thrown way 43 or A per cent. In max
ing cheese. we are saving the fat and the
nitrogenous part. Milk contains all the
material that makes up the human sys-
tenn. and we should eat mora of it in some
form. You can feed corn meal with skim
milk to pigs butaon't put in too much.
Bnttermilk is not worth quite 50 much
as skim milk, one per cent. less. Don't
feed gluten meal to pigs till they become

hogs. In feeding corn meal or gluten it
is better to put in a little bone meal.
As a force for producing human food,
the dairy cow stands unexcelled She
supplies food cheaper than it can be fur
nished in any other way except eggs.
The Boston experts scoring butter, was
here pretty sharply criticised. The peo-
pie were not satisfied with his Judgment,
and ii was shown that he made some
errors.
The speaker continued The flavor Of
butter depends upon the way the milk,
cream and butter are handled. 1t is an
established fact that "A ration of cotton
seed meal will produce more milk than
any other ration. He cannot advise a
full ration Of this feed He knows of
nothing in pure, sweet cotton seed meal
that will effect the flavor.
The unanimous opinion of dairymcn as
expressed was favorable to the use of cot
ton seed meal in moderate quantities for
the production of milk, and Also that it
did not affect the flavor.

PROSPECTS OF THE TARIFF BILL.


Nine democratic senators will, it is
claimed, vote against the passage Of the
tariff bill. in It's present shape, and the
slatef Xers have Hill, Murphy and Nc
Pherson irreconcilably opposed TO an in
come tax, with Blanchard and Ca fiery of
Louisiana 10 oppose anything that aims
blow at the sugar industry. Irby Of
South Carolina does not relish the man
ner in which he has been Systematically
turned down by the administration, and
he is also on the warpath for scalps
These votes are more than enough 10
bring about the defeat OF the bill now
before the senate. and the latest and
most reliable information is 10 the effect
that such combination is known to ex-
list 10 the leaders Of the democracy, and
they are correspondingly depressed over
the outlook.
Republicans declare that while opposed
to the bill they will not resort TO flibus-
tering but legitimate methods 10 encom-
pass its defeat, and the assurances which
they have received from the democratic
side OF the senate chamber are Of the
most encouraging and satisfactory ma
ture. There will he a free and full dis

course having been deemed advisable in
preference TO having anything leak out

that vast concourse Of humanity swayed
across the convention floor and allowed
its mutterings and curses to ascend to

and the convention was beyond the con-

PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.
Jack GOUdy Introduces Col. ThOmp-
son, Who Makes n Speech.

'Jack" Gowdy, chairman Of the state
central committee. pushed his way
through the crowd that thronged the
platform about 10 o'clock and walking
to the front took his seat behind a pine
table ornamented with a very bad imI.
tation Of that king Of birds, the eagle.
The Rush county statesman tenderly
caressed his golden beard. fresh from
the hands Of a barber. for FIVE consecu-
tive minutes, and then cast a sweeping
glance upon the sea of faces that con-
fronted him.
Then he seized the historic gavel. con-
structed OF a part OF the pole raised dur
ing the Grandpa Harrison campaign in
1910. and made three dents I'm the pine
table. The buzz OF conversation subsid-
ed almost directly and the republican
state convention Of 1894 was ready for
business. At a signal from the chairman
the delegates and spectators arose to
their feet and stood with bowed heads
while the Rev. 7. /. Coultas invoked the
blessings Of Providence upon the de-
alterations of the convention.
Permanent Organization.
The report of the committee on rules
and permanent organization. the sub
stance Of which has already been pub
lshed, was then received. The commit
tee named the Hon. r. w Thompson
of Terre Haute permanent chairman and
Charles w. Wilson of Lafayette as per-
manent secretary. The report was
adopted When the venerable Dick
Thompson stepped briskly. to the edge
of the platform. despite his great age.
a wave of enthusiasm swept over thu
great hall, which lasted for several min
utes and quiet was only restored when
the lips Of the Gladstone of the repub-
lican party were seen TO move. Mr.
Thompson said:

sdoDteo resolution confirming the appoint-
ment Of John ID. Fraser a member Of the
Board. This adds to the com plicstions OF the
already very much complicated factional fight
between Mayor Wanser the reform Mayor.
and his reform Board OF Finance. When the
Republicans in April 1893. got control Of the
Board through q little sharp practice on the
part OF the Mayor and his advisers. they were
jubant at having euchred the Democrats.
Things went along smoothly until recently.
when the majority OF tho reform Board broke
away from the reform Mayor. Now there 10 .
bitter factional fight. The Board appointed
new law officers for the city without consult
ing the Mayor and the Mayor vetoed the APP
pointments. The Mayor is on top so far and 10
confident that he will remain master OF the
situation.
Two vacancies occurred In tho Board on
April %. 1893. through the expiration OF the
terms Of John Edelstein. Democrat. aud

in consequence Of not having been confirmed
according to law.

law officers was made. Frazer In the mean
time had dropped out Of the Board. When the
Mayors veto was received Com missioner Det-
willer, who had voted for the change. was in

he would vote with them to override the veto.
four votes being required for that purpose.
Much to their chagrin. MIR. Detwiler, when
he returned. decided to stand by the Mayor.
The other Com missioners then. by the advice
OF their new law officers. decided that tho
Mayor had no jurisdiction over the appoint
ments any way and ignored the veto The
Mayor has also been vetoinG the salaries OF
the new law officers. and the Board has not
had sufficient number OF votes TO overcome
his objections.
Last night the majority. OF the Board adopt
cd u new plan. They decided that as Mr..
Fraser,s appointment had never been with
drawn IL was still subject to confirmation. and
they confirmed IT. Mr.. Fraser will take his
seat at meeting to be held this morning. and
will vote with the other three against tho
Mayor. 1t 10 said that II Mr. Fraser does this
