1t will be seen that the total member
ship In the state has fallen off more than
one-half in the past year, and 1t Is there
fore of great Importance that Mr.. Cald-
well should lose no time In rustling about
the state. The Deer Lodge council went
out of existence last year, but was reor-
ganized with 20 members. The Livingston
lodge also died but has been resuscitated.
OF the three Helena councils only the
colored council is left. The Missoula lodge
died, but is reorganized. The figures are
for the members in good standing and all
are counted to be in good standing who
are not more than II months in arrears
! for dues.
From the above figures 1t appears that
the only place where the organization is
at all formidable is in Butte. The men,
bership in Butte is 1873, which is three
fourths of the entire present membership
in the state The Centerville council
threw up it's charter last winter. but
there are still three councils in Butte,
besides a colored lodge which has
small membership but the big credit of
being the only A. p. A. council in Butte
which succeeded in passing resolutions
upholding the Monroe doctrine.
The entire list of membership in the
three Butte lodges is rather too large to
be printed at this time, although the
growing interest in the organization in
this state may warrant the publication
of the full list shortly If space permits.
The list of officers in the several Butte
councils is as follows:
Council No. President, James Wall;
vice president, Henry McMurphy; secre-
tary of state, ]. Kellogg; chaplain. w. s.
Magill; secretary. J. B. Hammond. treas
urer. Joseph Richards; sergeant at arms,
AL Marshman.

Brooks: vice president. Charles Q. John

| vice president, ]. w. Masterson: secre-
| tary of state E. ID. Elderkin; chaplain.
Rev. Mr.. Shippen: secretary. J. F. Col
| lier; sergeant at arms, Philip Weinstock.
To the members of the order themselves
there is no such organization as the "A.
| p. A" "Amoreans" is the secret name for
what is publicly known as the A. p. A.

QUEER BELGIAN CUSTOM

From the Providence Journal
There Is nothing in Belgium, not even
a marriage, to which so much pomp

of career, and the expense must be
a heavy tax on the average family, for
one will not economize in the details

dead If such economy can be prevent
ed. When a death occurs Grape is not
hung upon the door. but a notice Is
sent to all friends and relatives. This.
when folded, is about the size of sheet

No woman attends funeral, though 1t

a foreigner of Anglo-Saxon stock to as
sociate grief with the usual funeral
professions that one sees in Belgium.

An Invention Which Does Away With the
Use of Propeller, on sseis
Naval engineers are much interested
in the results of a forthcoming expert
ment at the Brooklyn navy yard OF
machine designed to send vessel
through the water without the aid OF
propellers.
The test is to be made by order OF
Secretary Herbert, and the device will,
by election of the inventor. be fitted
into a 2s-foot boat. although the de-
partment would prefer the use of 1o4-
foot boat, which is now at the yard
BY burning oil, gas is generated, which
enters into a cylinder. There IL Is ig-
nited by means of an electric spark
The force of repeated explosions drives
the piston up and down.
AS a result of the explosion a jet of
air is blown out of tube in the stern
of the vessel and the resistance OF the
water causes the boat to move for
ward. Then engineering experts say
that the invention. which has beer
tried primitively. does not give much
promise of usefulness in naval warfare
but the inventor claims that IL will be
of great service in torpedo boats and
that with his device they can be driver

speed

MoIstening and Soaking Feed.

Three experiment stations have re,
ported comparisons of dry with wet Oh
soaked food for pigs. The food consisted
Of sEelled corn in one case, of a mixture
of cornmeal and shorts in another and
Of a mixture of cOrnmeal, shorts and
linseed meal in third. In every case
the pigs ate more Of the wet food and
made larger gains on it. The additional
gain was usually due to the larger
amount Of food eaten when moistened or
soaked.
The Kansas station has reported an
experiment in soaking corn for steers
The shelled corn for one lot five steers
was soaked until it began to soften, and
that for the other lot Give steers) was
fed dry, From Nov. to April the lot
on soaked corn ate 2S2 bushels of corn
and gained 1889 pounds, while the
other lot ate 900 bushels of corn and
gained only / ,468 pounds-a difference
Of l64 pounds. Owing to their better
condition the steers fed soaked corn
brought higher price, giving balance
Of $25. so in favor of soaking. The con-
clusion is that it will pay to soak corn
for steers if it can be done for 9 cents a
bushel. Soaking wheat for pigs is quite
generally recommended.

Points In SubsoilinR.

Subsoil plowing should be practiced
by every farmer whose land lies in the
hardpan or clay districts. In these
parts subsoil blowing is really worth
more to the crop than the surface pillow
ing, Where water will not even remain
on the surface of the soil, but runs off
after the land has been irrigated, the
farmer can hardly expect to reap the
greatest profits by the old custom of
scratching over the surface. To plow
six or eight inches with surface plows
in such lands means that the roots of the
deeper rooted crops that are to be plant
ed will grow to the depth Of the furrow
and there stop, which in every case will
dwarf the growth of the plant.
In all hard soils Field and Farm rec.
ommends that the surface plow be set
as deep as possible and that the subsoil-
er be used also to its full depth, follow.
ing Immediately in the furrow of the
ground plow. This will loosen up both
the surface and subsoil in such a way
as to give irrigation water a chance to
soak through to the greatest depth, and
there is where the water is most needed,
as by capillary action it will work up
to the surface and accomplish the de-
sired end by enlivening and giving the
proper nutrition to the crops.

FEEDING EXPERIMENTS.
kt the Kansas Station, with Corn, Wheat.
Kanir Corn and Cottonseed Meal.

~
Kafir Corn and Cottonseed Meal.
The experiments were divided into
three series, comprising altogether 30
pigs. The first experiment was planned
to ascertain the relative feeding value
of Kaffir cornmeal, cornmeal and
ground wheat. To test it 12 pigs were
selected and divided into three lots of
four each. Each pig was given sepa-
rate pen and fed separately, a careful
record being kept Of the feed eaten and
the gain made. The pigs had all been
bred on the college farm, and averaged
eight months old when the experiment
began. The second series of expert.
ments comprised four lots, of which lot
/ was fed ON Cornmeal and cottonseed
meal, lot ON cornmeal, lot 3 on
equal parts Of ground wheat and corn.
meal and lot on ground wheat. The
object was twofold-first to ascertain
the effects of cottonseed meal, and, sec.
ond, to compare cornmeal and wheat
and mixture of both with each other
as food for young pigs. In the third Sc.
ries of experiments the question Of cot.
tonseed meal as food for pigs was
again taken up. Two lots of three pigs
each were subjected to the treatment.
Results gained appeared to justify
these conclusions: First, in the com.
parison of wheat, corn and red Kaffir
corn as fattening food for hogs, the
wheat proved to be the most effective,
followed closely by corn. Red Kaffir
oil
equal in fattening qualities to either of
the others. 1t required respectively 4. II
pounds of wheat and 4. .3S pounds Of
corn to produce a pound Of gain, while
of red Kaffir corn it required 5.15
pounds to produce the same result. But
it should be noted in this connection
that the experiment was carried out
during the coolest portion of the winter
and that the hogs were confined strictly
to these feeds. Under favorable weather
the results would doubtless have been
much better, and in like manner these
grains might have given different results
if fed in judicious mixtures with other
suitable hog feed.
Second. .-Cottonseed meal proved poi
sonous to pigs even though fed in small
quantities. A mixture Of one-fourth
cottonseed meal and three-fourths corn
meal was as disastrous as equal parts'o Of
these feeds The pigs died in from three
to eight weeks after being put ON this
feed, the larger ones holding out the
longest Post mortem examinations re-
vealed in all cases severe inflammation
and congestion Of the intestines, lungs
and heart. But cottonseed meal pro.
duces very rapid gains in both pigs and
large hogs, and if the feed is changed
before symptoms of disease appear hogs
can be fed cottonseed meal for a short
time with the best results, and this ex-
pertinent would indicate without subse-
quent deleterious effects.
Third. Equal parts Of corumeal and
ground wheat proved to be better food
for pigs than either corn or wheat fed
separately.
