In bulletin 36 of the Minnesota expert
ment station, Prof. Snyder says that hay
spread over a canvas cloth under a wire
screen lost 10 per cent of its best parts by
rains. The sample was in early bloom
when cut. The per cent of loss of each
nutrient was as follows: Ash, 1926;
fat, 7.47; protein, 7.69; fiber, 90;
carbohydrates, 25.7S Inasmuch as the
carbohydrates constitute the greater por.
ton Of the weight of hay, it appears from
the data given that the loss must have
been much greater than - per cent.
This loss, OF course, is from the digestiblc
portions and from that likely to be most

true worth must have been sacrificed in

heavy shower and three dews. The bear

A LIVELY TILT

The most belligerent sceno of the insti-
tute was wordy war in section two yes
terday afternoon. Miss Helen W. Merritt
and Spurgeon Riley, county superintend-
ent of schools, were the com batants-in-
chief In the course of lecture on the
development of the voice Miss Merritt
took occasion to censure Mr.. Riley for
what she considered bad faith. She said
that it was understood that she
was to speak to several sections
at once, including some sections Of the
country teachers, und to have the USE of
the auditorium. Mr.. Riley stated :rat
he had so intended, but that further con-
versation with the lady had shown that
it was not worth willis to have the lec-
ture as planned. The com bat concerning
a matter of breach of faith degenerated
into war over the personal appearance
OF Mr.. Riley. Miss Merritt stated that
he was 50 hoorish that during Professor
Fishers lecture his antics on the plat
form had prevented her from bearing the
lecture. After each compatant had spoke n
to the question at issue several times, tn e
contest was declared off by mutual cum
sent.
Professor Samuel r. Black, state SUI
perinteudent of schools, will deliver an
address of especial interest to school
