Value of Wheat as Feed.

7 tic fot' luOis Vi
In view of the extremely low price
of wheat and the relatively high
price of corn, the farmer and feeder
are confronted with anomalous con-
ditions which call for a change in
methods of feeding. At present a
bushel of corn, weighing Sc pounds,
is worth on the market three or four
cents more than a bushel of wheat
weighing 60 pounds. This IS cali
culated to make the feeder exercise
his wits, for he is interested in get
ting the very best profit out of his
feed. In all the wheat growing States
farmers are more or less engaged in
using wheat as substitute for corn,
many claiming that wheat used as
stock feed returns fair profit for the
wheat. At this time, therefore, the
question of the feeding value of wheat
is OF great importance.
Chemical analyses made at diff
ferent experiment stations, show
that the digestible constituents in
100 pounds of wheat contain 9.3
pounds of protein, which is the
matchmaking element ;55. 8 pounds
carbohydrates, and is pounds Of
fat. The digestible constituents of
100 pounds of corn have IL pounds
of protein, 62.7 pounds of carbohy-
drates, and AZ pounds of fat. Thus
it is seen that wheat leads as mus
Gle or fiesh-forming food, but corn
excels in the fattening element.
Wheat would, therefore, be the bet
ter food for the work horse and for
all growing animals; while corn for
fattening purposes after animals are
grown, will lead.
At the Wisconsin experiment sta.
ton Prof. Henry has fed wheat,
corn, and a mixture Of the two,
ground, to hogs with good results,
the mixture of cornmeal and ground
wheat showing the best gains for
food fed. In a general way be says
"we may expect a gain of from nine
to fifteen pounds, live weight, from
a bushel of wheat, the higher figure
being for growing shoats. From
twelve to fourteen pounds are what
we may look for with fattening hogs
under favorable conditions, the aver
age being about twelve pounds OF
increase live weight for a bushel OF
wheat" For feeding to hogs it
should be ground and soaked. Where
one has ground wheat to feed, Prof.
Henry strongly recommends mixing
it with corn meal for fattening hogs,
! and shorts for growing pigs. For
growing animals wheat is placed
from 10 to 25 per cent above corn;
but mixture of wheat and corn,
when ground, will make more and
better pork than either alone.
The feeding of wheat to stock will
no doubt have tendency to raise
the price of that cereal; and it will
be check on the upward tendency
of the price of corn.

The Reverend Gentieman Lorgs to he
Back in Old Andrain-ile Has
Word About Politics.

| Correspondence of the Ledger
CALDWELL, Kan, Sept. s.
When in Mexico last | did not get
to see you but a moment, but that
was really refreshing. | wish
could see you and all the old friends
oftener. 1t does seem with many
OF us that life is hard; | can't think
of anything so sad as to be parted at
so great distance from those we
have known and associated with so
long. Many of the old friends of my
boyhood and youth are in Missouri,
in old Audrain County, and often,
when | meet them, it makes me
feel almost young again; indeed, it
reminds me OF my youth. May
God, the Father, bless US all and
help us to so live that We may meet
again in that world where farewells
will be spoken n more. where
hearts will be broken no more and
all the disappointments and sorrows
and Ills of life will be felt and feared
no more May the Heavenly Faith
er help Us all, is my earnest prayer.
No news here of great interest. We
had a good rain last week, which
was refreshing indeed, but it is still
very warm, but thanks to God the
hot winds have ceased. The politi-
cal pot is boiling just little, but it
will soon boil over. Populists and
Republicans are pretty equally
divided out here in the "far west" !"
1t don't matter with me which is
victorious, for l am fully persuaded
both are wrong. OF course, Demo-
Gratis are "not in it'' out here.
1t makes me laugh frequently
when | hear people talk about the
death of the Democratic party, and
Missouri redeemed and saved from
bourbon" rule and so on. 1t is
amusing. Well, We'll see just how
dead Democracy is after awhile. By
the way, | wish we had a regiment
of Champ Clarks in Kansas. Of
course we don't need them in Mis-
souri,, but we could use them in Kan
sas to wonderful advantage. I
wonder il we could borrow Champ
for a week or two? | think Clark
ought to take the place of Vest,
don't you? From my standpoint he
is the man. We'll, we have got a
tariff bill pretty fair after all. 1t
beats "McKinley" badly. 1t might
have been better, but it will do for
awhile, until we can get something
better. In a conversation with a man
the other day he said to me: 81
think Grover Cleveland is an honest
man but not brainy' said to him,
you may be right but you have got
q big job on your hands to make the
thinking people of the United States
believe it. But | must close. In the
language of David Hill of New York
I must say | am a Democrat. |
may in another letter some day give
my reasons for 1t, and think can
give good reasons.
l appreciate the old "Religious
Weekly" more and more.
Kindly and fraternally,
w. H. HOOK.

Music With a Rifle.
From the New York World .


Edward M. Gordon is a marks
man who produces music with his
rifle. His target is a xylophone,
which Is placed at the back of the
stage. Standing at the front with
his back to the audience, Mr. Cor
don picks off the notes with rifle,
striking them as quickly as an Or
dinary person would with hammer.
The tunes which he plays are" Home,
Sweet Home" F." America, - "Sweet
Marie" and others Of that simple
description. 1t requires 43 shots
for Mr.. Gordon to knock off "Sweei
Marie" In this way the operation
is made comparatively painless
one for the hearer.
A magazine rifle is, of course,
necessary for this performance, and
Mr.. Gordon has invented several
weapons of that kind.

kissing Under Water


There are other things besides
camp meetings at Ocean Grove, and
one of these is surf bathing. A man
who was staying at the Grand Hotel
took a dip in the ocean last Satur-
day with his fiancee. As they were
good swimmers they were watched
from the beach. The man suggest.
ed, as the result showed, that kiss
under water would be novelty worth
trying. The girl was willing, as the
result also showed. When a big
wave came along they ducked and
were lost 20 sight. When the wave
receded the watchers on the beach
saw the lovers clasped in each other:
arms, with their lips pressed togeth
er. They had not counted on ths
wave breaking away SO soon. Nat
urally they were embarrassed.

A Tiny Dictionary.
Ero,,, tho Dh;ladaI,abia T;roao


A popular prize just now for card
parties or for summer souvenirs is
the tiny chatelaine dictionary. The
trinket is finding ready sale at presl
ent, not only for such purposes as
named, but because OF the individual
recognition of the real value of the
little article. The tiny booklet, not
much larger than postage stamp
of the old vermilion type, contains
in its leaves ZOO words with their
meaning. When snug in its silver
case it is no thicker than an ordinary
locket, while its size, as stated, is
of the postage stamp order. In the
silver cover of the little dictionary a
magnifying glass is affixed. When
the owner desires to look up a word
he simply opens the little locket,
holds the cover with its glass over
the page, and the print appears as
fine type, easily readable. The case
which forms the cover of the die
tionary comes in silver or gold,
though the silver has the preference,
The ladies buy the trinkets and
fasten them to their chatelaines. The
gentlemen treat them like a postage
stamp or match case and carry them
loosely IN their vest pockets.

f,ambiiny on Ills Life,

The gambling instinct is strong in
most men, but it is seldom that one
hears of man with sufficient nerve
to bet a sum of money on his own
life. \ wager of this kind has just
leaked out in which two prominent
members of a Philadelphia club are
concerned. These two men have
been close friends for years. One
is a doctor and the other a lawyer.
A year ago the lawyer, who had
previously enjoyed the best OF
health, began to complain of feeling
run down. He consulted his friend,
the doctor, who, after a minute and
thorough examination, told him
frankly that his lungs were affected,
the action of his heart was impaired,
and that he wouldn't live a year.
The lawyer, who is man of in
domitable pluck and will power,
was naturally stunned for mo,
ment. After the first shock had
passed off his true nature asserted
itself. "I'il bet you a thousand
dollars you are wrong, and that l
do live yearl'' he exclaimed. The
doctor was positive that his diagno'
sis was correct, and was forced to
accept the bet. The money was
placed in a safe deposit vault, and
the lawyer went abroad. In six
months he returned. The year was
up last week, and he won his wager.
And what is more, he says he is
open for more bets of a similar ma.
ture. Philadelphia Record.
