At this time there were perhaps
twenty or thirty men confined in our
crude prison. Some We're released

Many whose homes were in the vicin-

friends as soon as they were satisfied,
and their stay would be short. But
those who had no friends near, did
not find it SO easy to satisfy the nu-
thorities.

with the others, and he seemed to
have no acquaintance with any of his

Flow to Use Wheat for Feed.

The present high prices for feed
stuffs and low price of wheat make it
desirable to know how to use wheat
properly for feed, The very best re-
suits have been obtained by mixing
90 per cent. wheat, % per cent. corn,
10 por cent barley and 40 per cent. oats.
This should be ground together. OF
course, this can be varied somewhat,
according to the supply, though care
should be used that there is not too
much wheat used.
