Snapped or Rusked Corn.

Professor Georgeson of the Expert
ment Station at the Kansas Agricul.
tursl College writes to tie Breeders
Gazette as follows:
"In this section of the country 1t is
customary to husk the cOrn before it Is
fed. Snapped corn is generally fed
only early in the season before the ears
mature and while the husks are still
more or less sucCulent. Some few
farmers continue to feed snapped corn
through the winter, but I know Of no
large feeder who follows that practice.
When upward Of q hundred head are
fed the corn Is either shelled or husked
or the ear Is chopped into lengths of
an inch or less. Comparatively few
feeders throw In the whole ears with.
out at least some attempt at breaking
them In two. In our experiments here
at the college when ear corn Is used
the large ears are broken In two or
three pieces with q spade in q box or
In the trough. A large feeder In this
immediate neighborhood uses q chop.
ping machine which cuts the ears In
pieces of an inch or less In length.
"There are arguments both for and
against the feeding of whole ears. 1t
IL undoubtedly true that q steer will
eat more slowly when fed whole ears
and presumably mssticste the grain
somewhat better than he would If he
did not have the cob to chew on. This
would favor more complete digestion Of
the feed. On the other hand, the steers
waste more when they are fed whole
ears than when the ears are chopped
or the corn is shelled. A steer will
often stand for some time with an ear
In his mouth In an unsuccessful effort
to get it under his grinders, and finally
drop 1t on the ground and pick up
fresh ear. When whole ears are fed
the steers learn to shell them In the
course of q few weeks, and only the
cobs of the small and broken ears are
actually mssticsted. II l were feed
ing steers under the conditions that
prevail on most farms 1 would either
use crusher which would effectuslly
break up the cob, or 1 would feed
soaked shelled corn, with the prefer
ence for the latter rs long as the
weather Is mild"

WHEAT UNDER IRRIGATION

Irrigation ASSOCIATION Sb GreAb benub AoSO'J
Complying with your request to say
or write something on raising wheat By
irrigation, l beg leave to submit q few
brief remarks.
The past crop season was, In the i'm
mediate vl1lnity of Enterprise, an ex'
cessively dry one, especially from the
time that wheat went into the ground
In the fall of 1895, all during the fall,
winter and spring, until the latter part
Of May, when rains set In. Hence the
benefits of irrigation were clearly
brought out In the results as stated
below.
On September Is l prepared land,
previously In potatoes, and which had
been thoroughly irrigated all during
the summer, raising q large potato
crop, for wheat by blowing and har'
rowing. However, did rot sow the
wheat until October IL, on account Of
the presence of a great many grass
hoppers. The soil then was very mel
low and the subsoil quite wet. The
top was somewhat dry. The wheat
came up promptly and early, and the
light surface rains which we had kept
it green until the latter part of Decem-
Der. I soWed some imported wheat
that had arrived late, on December 20,
and still another batch about the mid
die of February. In the spring my
wheat began to grow rapidly and Wig.
orously, and when. during the latter
part of April and first Of May, severe
drought, with accompanying high
winds and dust storms, destroyed q
large portion of the crop In this county,
my wheat had thoroughly covered the
ground and was sufficiently vigorous
to Withstand damage.
The final results were thirty-nine
bushels per acre on q piece Of Indian
Valley wheat sOWn In October; thirty.
Eve bushels per acre on piece Of Rus
sian tCrimesn Winter) wheat, sown in
October, about ten bushels per acre on
that BOWn In December, and practically
nothing on that BoWn in February. 1t
is worthy Of remark that the failure Of
the wheat sown In February was di.
rectly due to its wonderfully rank
growth and the fact that during the
hot weather and winds the blossom of
the wheat was destroyed. A piece
soWn In October at the same time that
mine was, on an adjoining section on
the same kind CT soil, but without irri.
cation, yielded but FIVE bushels per
acre of an inferior quality of wheat, as
against thirty-fVe and thirty nine
bushels on my fields. Please note that
there was no direct irrigation in my
wheat, but that it was all done prior to
the sowing Of the wheat, by getting
the subsoll thoroughly moistened
through irrigation Of the potato crop.
The conclusion Is that land flooded
before sowing in the fall will get moist.
ure enough to make good wheat
crop; and as this kind Of irrigation can
be done at comparatively small cost,
am inclined to think that where loca-
tlOn is favorable and water can be OBJ
tanned readily, it would pay to irrigsts
for wheat.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,

for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. \ few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind

10 CARRY MUSIC ALONG
CHARM OF \ PROPOSED BICYCLE
ATTACHMENT.
Popular Music to Cheer the Journey
a Concert on the Fly-May Also BE
Used at Home.

OF all the recent inventions pertain
ing to bicycles there is one that is
simply charming. 1t is an arrange
ment whereby the same power which
drives the bicycle also sets in motion
a music-boX which is attached to the
machine.
The music box is attached to the
front forks and the operation is car
ried on by means of a cord passing
over Il small pulley in the box and
around one of larger size fastened to
the spokes. 1t is said that the wheel
is in great demand for serenading and
running about town on pleasant even
the Daisy Bell" cylinder he says he
has had an increased demand for
tandems.
The inventor, by the way, is j. w.
Banks, who lives in Iowa. He says
that his idea is the greatest of the
century, because it widens the field of
bicycling to a degree that is almost
alarming. He points out that with
the music box arrangement the rae
ing men will be able to make greater
speed, because the music will enthuse
him.
For the road rider there could be
nothing better, according to the way
in which Mr.. Banks looks at it. If
the spirit or the muscles of the scorch-
er would flag when ON the homeward
journey all he would have to do would
be to hook up the arrangement and
have music that would be inspiring
and make him feel like Il new man.
Another opening can he found for
the musical bicycle. There is a pos
sibility that ii may relieve the fond
father from the necessity of getting
up during the night and walking the
floor with the crying baby. All pa
would have to do under these circum-
stances would be to get his bicycle
upstairs from the lower hall. Taking
the baby in his arms he could then
mount the bicycle and begin to ride
around the room.

THEIR AVERAGE MAJORITY 500.
That Is the Liberals Winning Fig
ure-PIannfng for the Next Fight.

Citizens Club men are consolng them
! selves with the reflection that although
defeated. they received the majority Of
the white vote. They claim to have Sc
cured 300 to 400 majority in the white vote,
and that the large majority of their oppo-
nents was due entirely to the large negro
vote secured by them. Their estimate Of
the number Of this vote secured by their
opponents at $50.
I'VE didn't get over $50 negro votes"
said one of them yesterday. THE other
people got the rest. Some of them have
stated as much In addition to that they
bought somewhere between 100 and 200
white votes, which would otherwise have
gone our way. II they secured over 900
negro votes then we secured between 300
and 400 majority OF the white vote"
In this connection il is interesting to
analyze the figures of the vote, and find
what the exact majority was. The aver
age vote received by the Liberal candi-
dates for the legislature, is BIB, and by
the Citizens candidates, 2,532. This shows
an average majority on the legislative
ticket o. ISL. The total vote Of the Lib
eral CLUB candidates for county commits
sioners was l550S, and Of their opponents
u 73l The average of the winning ticket
making the average majority for the COM
missioners ticket $50 Adding up the
vote of the candidates for the three coun-
ty offices where there was opposition,
Dillon Russell and Goette, and Screven,
Dixon and Fox, and they will he found
to be 223 for the first, and 1881 for the
second. The average of the first is 3O74 1-3
and of the second $3.50 l-3, and the ma
jority 544. Adding up these three aver
age majorities on the three different sec
tons Of the ticket, and the actual aver
age for the whole winning ticket, will be
found to be $50
Naturally there is a good deal of talk
already about the city election in January.
The Liberals feel sure that they will carry
this election by a majority equally as large
as that in the state and county election.
Citizens Club men do not admit any such
prospect.
''The city election will be a different af-
fair altogether" said one of the leaders.
I'VE can see now a number of causes for
our defeat Wednesday which we could not
see before Overconfidence, bad judgment,
bad management too much A. p A. and
several other causes can be enumerated.
All these will be guarded against in jan
uary and work of the hardest kind done
in preparation for the election. The only
advantage which the Liberal Club will
have over us in the city election is that of
the prestige of this victory, which is worth
a good deal, l will admit. You can just
depend upon 1t that the January election
will be the hardest kind of a fight, and
