Even the members OF the Washington
Library Association were not agreed as
To the feasibility OF plans for early action
Vice President w II Lowdcrmiik said
only last week that it seemed best TO wait
and lay the matter before Congress
law could then be passed providing for
n light tax for the maintenance OF the
library, and probably an appropriation
obtained for the erection OF suitable
building. All would then have an equal
interest in the library and feel free 10
use it
But so pressing is the need of place
for clerks IN the departments and others
to gather and read after p M, when
they are free from work, but all the

Post office Department officials are a

tators witnessed an alteration yesterday
morning between Charles O. Weston and
Thomas N. Marshall, both of whom We're
at one time jointly int rested in the wiss
Steam Laundry, of No 1907 F street
north west. The trouble resulted in
Wcston's arrest on a warrant sworn out by
Marshall, charging him with assault with
intent TO Kill, and in warrant being sworn
out for Marshall by Weston, which has
not yet been served
Charles o. Weston appears in the
city directory as a lessee, evidently OF
the Swiss Steam Laundry, and it seems
that until a short time ago Marshall was in
partnership with him. The two dissolved,
however, and in the division OF the property
arose the trouble
Marshall started Eival laundry next
door to the office OF the Swiss laundry,
and rau 1t under the same name. Weston
claim s that Marshall annoyed him in
various S ways, pulling down his signs
several times and making things as
generally unpleasant as possible.
Marshall also claims, 1t seems, that
weston had some stuff in the original
office which belonged TO him, aud yester-
day he got three other men aud went into
the laundry office TO take 1t out Going
behind the counter lie proceeded to tear
down the shelves, and Weston, finding
that Temon strauC was OF no avail,
drew an empty revolver from u drawer
and pointed it at the intruder.
Marshall. however, instead of getting
frightened, seized the revolver and. wrench
ing it from Wcston's grasp, began 90 beat
him over the head with it. Tue two were
finally separated and Marshall went to
the police court and swore out u warrantfOr
Weston He stated there that he went into
WeSton's office To get some things that

until the late spring rains took care of it.
They furnished fuel to destroy all foul seed
on the ground, and left the land as clean
as the virgin soil.
What is a proper system of cultivation
as deduced from our experience?
First. The land should not be plowed in
the fall and thereby exposed to the drying
winter winds, robbed Of it's rich blanket of
snow that nature intended it to wear-a
snowbank making the best irrigation for
land in the spring, as it fertiliZes the soil
as we'll as supplying it with moisture.
Second. AS soon as the stubble. is dry in
the spring it should be burned. L should
advise sowing one-half of the land on the
burned stubble ground and discing and har-
rowing it; the other half to be plowed and
sowed in the same manner, alternating
each succeeding year.
In harvesting leave the stubble as high
as possible, or there will not be material
enough for a good fire the next season.
The thistles will be few and far between.
Corn and other cultivated crops are as
easily kept clean here as in Iowa or ILL
nois, and do as much better on the spring
blowing as smaller grains do. During the
early part of the season, and in fact up to
the time that corn has had its last Guilt
walton. The thistle is a delicate plant,
easily destroyed, and so tender that late
spring frosts kill it as readily as they do
tomatoes or cucumbers.
If one-half of the energy that has been
and is being wasted in devising impossible
schemes for irrigation and the extermina-
ton Of the Russian thistle had been spent
in teaching farmers how to make the this
tie their servant instead of master, the
people of South Dakota would realize to-
day that the thistle is more their friend
than foe.

The Feeding; VaIue of Rran.

The question is settled beyond doubt or
controversy that a pound of bran contains
more valuable food constituents than a
pound of wheat, for nearly one-half Of
the wheat is starch, which contains but lit
tie nutriment. One pound of fat is worth
nearly two and a half pounds of starch
and a ton of wheat contains but 80 pounds
of fat. while a ton of bran contains "a
pounds. Another fact connected with stock
foods is that when we feed a Well-balanced
ration there is little loss, as the animal can
digest and assimilate most of it, while if
the food has not the proper proportion Of
albuminOidS to the carbohydrates, a. per
cent of it is not utilized.
Bran is a very well balanced ration, hav-
ing about one pound of the albuminoids to
four and a half of carbohydrates. Those
who have fed grain freely in fattening hogs
for some years past have had excellent re-
suits both in healthy hogs and in reduced
cost of ration. The first thing to be done
IN order to have a profitable hog is to de-
Velop good bone and muscle, and a healthy
digestion, and this is what bran will do for
the young hog and one that has made the
start on bran will digest corn better during
the finishing process.
There is one other point on which most
farmers are mistaken, and that is in sup
posing that the coarse, light bran made by
the roller process of milling is inferior to
the heavier process furnished. Both chemi-
cal analysis and feeding tests show that
the freer the bran is from flour the larger
is it's per cent Of protein and the greater
it's feeding value. A ton of the roller pro-
cess bran contains 2 per cent more of pro-
tein and one-half Of l per cent more of fat
than the old process bran, and this means
that for balancing a ration or supplement-
ing the cheaper foods such as alfalfa.
prairie hay or straw, the roller process
bran is the most valuable.
