FED WHEAT TO HOGS.
Twenty-Five Eat Thirty-Fiye Bushels
and Gain 1,100 Pounds.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Sept. 2S.-
Several farmers in this vicinity are
experimenting in the matter of feed
ing wheat to hogs. A cast was
tested to-day that is worthy Of at
tention.
Squire Lester, a farmer living 10
miles west of here, weighed % hogs,
and afterwards fed them exactly 80
bushels of cracked wheat. To-day
he brought the hogs to this city and
sold them at 5 cents per pound on
foot.
When weighed for sale it was
found out that they had gained
l, leo pounds. It cost MIR. Lester
5 cents per bushel to have his wheat
cracked, but even this left him 6
margin Of more than $l.52 pei
bushel for wheat worth only about
45 cents in the local market.
He says that far better results cal
be obtained by having the whea
cracked and then moistened before
being fed. This is the first authen
tic test that has been made in Thu
section of the state, although
number of farmers are feeding whea
to their hogs, and say that the re.
suit will prove satisfactory.
In view of the high price of corr
and the low price of wheat. their
will be an immense quantity of th'
latter fed to hogs from now on il
Central Missouri.
There is some grumbling becaus'
the State Agricultural Department
at Columbia did not take hold o
this matter and give proof that it i
something else besides ornamental
but the farmers are working GU
their own salvation and conductin,
their own experiments with crafty
ing results.

We notice from late Washington
dispatches that the following claims
have been allowed against the gov
eminent: For the M. L. Church at
Sturgeon, 1925; for the Presbyterian
Church, of Mexico, 1865 and sever
al other churches in Missouri for
small amounts. The claim allowed
to the Presbyterian church of Mexi-
CO should have been for a much
larger amount. During the war
United States troops were quartered
in the church here and property TO
the amount of two or three thousand
dollars was destroyed. Capt.
Frost and others of our old citizens
remember very we'll when Federal
soldiers had possession OF the Pres
byterian church property i'll this
city. This claim had been filed in
Washington for some time but
never received much attention un-
til Hon. Champ Clark was elected
to Congress when he looked into the
matter personally and pushed i
forward until it was allowed.

New Officers of the Missouri Press As
ISOLATION.

From the warrensburg fMo.l Democrat.
The election of John w. Jacks, of
the Montgomery City Standard, pres
ident of the Missouri Press Associ-
alton at its recent session, was a
worthy recognition of one of the
leading newspaper men of the state,
who, by his untiring efforts has con-
tributed much to the high standard
now conceded to the country press.
The association was equally for
tunate in re.electing r. M. White, oi
the Mexico LEDGER, corresponding
secretary. Mr.. White is nj of the
shining lights of the Missouri press
and his selection continues in the
service ofthe association a gentleman
who is known to possess fine ability
and force of character, which insures
the success of everything with which
he is identified. For treasurer nc
better selection could have beer
made than that of w. L. Thomas, %
the School and Home, St. Louis
The selection OF J. II. Edwards, o
the Jefferson Tribune, as recording
secretary, will meet the hearty ap
proval of the press and was a fittin;
testimonial Of the appreciation of thu
association of a polished gentleman
and a strong and vigorous writer.

MISSUURrS LOW TAX RATE.
A Wide Difference HetWeeen Dem0-
cratic and Republican Rule in
Several States.

From the Carrollton tMo Democrat.
The rate of taxation is interesting
to every taxpayer as out of their
pockets must come the money with
which to pay them. The following
rate of taxes is levied by the differ
ent states to support their state gov
eminent, eleemosynary and penal
institutions:
Iowa 20 cents on the 800 vaiua-
ton.
Illinois % Z cents on the 500
valution.
Kansas sc cents on the 500 val
uation.
Missouri 10 cents on the 800
valuation.
These rates are exclusive of the
levy for schools and for the pay
ment of state debts. Poor Old Mis-
sour under a Democratic govern
ment has a much lower rate than
either Illinois, Iowa or Kansas,
three great Republican states.
From the wild raving of Republican
orators one would think that Mis-
souri, had been so badly managed
under Mossback Democracy that
she would have to levy a larger tax
for the purpose of tine state. The
fact is very apparent that Missouri
under a Democratic state govern
ment levies a lower tax than does
the Republican states Of Illinois,
Iowa and Kansas. Why then should
the taxpayers desire Il change?
What reason can be assigned for it?
Missouri is increasing in wealth as
fast as any state in the union. Her
people are in as prosperous a con-
dition and taxes are lower. These
are all good reasons why Missouri
will ever remain in the Democratic
column. If the party in its man.
agement of state affairs should ever
betray its trust then perhaps Mis-
souri, Democrats will fail. Dem
oeracy in Missouri stands for hon
est, economical government. On
the other hand We can only judge
the Republicans by what they have
done, and as is we'll known their
administration of state affairs was
the most reckless, e~xtravagant and
intolerable that ever existed in
Missouri.
