GOVERNOR STONE sNuBBED.
Congressman Tars ney Declined to
Shake His Preferred Hand at q
Meeting in Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. ga po-
litical story which created more talk
than anything that has occurred in
local politics for a long time is the
meeting between Governor Stone and
Congressman Tarsney in front of the
Midland Hotel yesterday at noon, at
which Mr.. Tarsney refused to speak
to the Governor and gave him "the
cut direct" The story was only
known to a few, and has not leaked
out generally, but those who were
familiar with the facts we're gossiping
about it all day.
AT noon yesterday, before the foot
ball game, the Governor was standing
in front of the Midland, when Judge
Gibson and Mr.. Tarsney came along
Walnut street. The Governor called
to Judge Gibson and he and Mr.. Tars-
ney stopped.
"How do you do, judge" said the
Governor.
They shook hands, and Governor
Stone then turned to Mr.. Tarsney and
offered his hand, saying: elbow do you
do, John?"
Congressman Tarsney looked ut the
Governor blankly, kept his hand in his
overcoat pocket and walked away.
The Governor seemed astonished, but
said nothing. Congressman Tarsney
left for st. Louis last night, and Gov
ernor Stone this afternoon refused to
say anything about Mr.. Tarsney. =
There is no secret, however, about
the causes which led up to it. At the
time that George M. Shelley was APP
pointed Police Commissioner, Mr..
Tarsney wrote a letter to Judge Wof-
ford of the Criminal Court in which he
objected s~trenuously to the selection
of Mr.. Shelley IN the ground that
when Mr.. Shelley vas the Democratic
Postmaster under Cleveland's first ad-
ministration, he had opposed him for
Congress, Mr.. Tarsney, in his letter,
which found its way into the news
papers, also made charges against Mr..
Shelley as to his official conduct. This
letter was zen by Governor Stone,
and in reply he wrote to Judge Wof-
ford, stating in terms that could not
be misunderstood, that he thought
Mr.. Tarsney's letter was, to say the
least, impertinent.
The Governor and the Congressman
have not neet~einee, antAl ysstorAsy.
The irony of politics was never better
illustrated than by the subsequent de-
velopments in the Shelley Police Com
missionership case. The Governor
made an enemy of MI. Tarsney by
appointing Shelley, and now Shelley
is arrayed with the Stone opposition
in Kansas City, and is chairman of the
Democratic County Committee, hav-
ing resigned his position as Police
Commissioner because the Governor
insisted that he could not be Police
Commissioner and chairman of the
Co untyC Committee both.

Feeding Wheat to Hogs,

From the northwest State of Wash
ington comes an interesting report of
a series of experiments made in feed
ing wheat to hogs. The experiments
were made at the agricultural college
at Pullman. The hogs used were high
grade Poland China and Berkshires.
Tests were made with wheat fed in
five different ways, as follows: First,
whole wheat, dry. Second, whole
wheat soaked twelve hours In water.
Third, chopped wheat, dry. Fourth,
chopped wheat soaked twelve hours
in water. Fifth, sheaf wheat. The
hogs were fed twice a day, Z a. M. and
6 p. M, all they would eat, and were
watered three times a day. The re-
suits of the experiment are thus sum-
married. in the bulletin:
1. Feeding sheaf wheat to hogs is a
wasteful practice; even under the best
conditions a large amount of grain liz
wasted, and the hogs cannot find
enough grain to fatten rapidly. Feed
ing headed wheat would doubtless be
less wasteful, but data are not yet at
hand for determining this point.
2. Soaking whole wheat in water
for twelve hours increases it's digesti.
| bility, so that it will produce about
one pound more pork per bushei eat.
en-.
8. Wheat coarsely chopped and fec
either dry Or soaked twelve hours in
water, gives larger returns than whole
wheat. Under the conditions of thil
experiment the increase vas sufficient
to more than pay for the chopping.
4. Dry chopped wheat gave a larger
yield of pork than soaked chop. bui
this may have been due to the order
in which the feeds were given eacf
lot.
5. With hogs weighing less thar
$50 pounds a bushel of chopped wheat
will produce about twelve pounds o.
pork, hence:
If it costs Az cents a bushel to choI
wheat, it pays to feed wheat to hog
when the following prices obtain:
Pork 8 cents, and wheat less than 3.
cents.
Pork 81 cents, and wheat less thai
81, cents.
Pork 4 cents, and wheat less thai
49, cents.
Pork 5 cents, and wheat less thai
551s cents.
6. With wheat at "a cents a bushel
pork can be produced at a cost of %,
cents a pound. Wheat at 1919 cents
bushel produces pork at a cost of
cents a pound.
