FEEDING PROBLEMS.
Balanced Ratfons Produce Better Re-
suits Than Corn Alone.


suits Than Corn Alone.
There are several horns to the dilem-
ma that confronts the man who set
ties down to one way of doing things
without SO much as a thought about
changing his plans and methods to suit
changing conditions, says the Kansas
Farmer. We may use the feeding prob
lSm as an illustration of the point in
question. When corn is comparatively
cheap, or as might be said during the
last feeding season, absolutely below
cost of production, the feeder does not
feel justified in buying more coneen-
trated feeds in any form whatever for
making up balanced ration. In one
sense he is loser by this neglect, but
upon the whole no doubt he is on the
safer side, all things considered. But
to fix upon this as a rule of action for
all seasons, would be to invite and meet
sure defeat. The Kansas experiment
station has had under consideration
some important phases of the feding
problem. Their operations in the feed
yard have shown conclusively that
steers fed a balanced ration have eat
en- more pounds of grain and more
pounds of fodder than steers that were
fed on cornmeal and corn fodder, and
likewise more than steers fed on ear
corn and corn fodder. These balanced
ration steers made gain of 141.S
pounds more during the season than
the cornmeal fed steers, and 1912
pounds more than the ear corn fed
steers. Being in better condition when
sold they brought a better price than
did the other lots. But what would ap-
pear to be the strangest part of it all,
is the fact that they made their gains
at a less cost than did the other two
lots. This lot was fed on cornmeal,
oil meal and mill feed, closely approx
mating Wolff's feeding standards for
fattcning steers. The profit over that
derived from feeding the other lots
was quite small as we understand it,
and for the ordinary feeder VINO has on
his farm in a year like this, unlimited
stores of corn, and who might have the
corn fodder if he would, it would un-
questionably be the better policy to
feed simply corn and corn fodder. And
this is exactly what feeders have been
doing upon the whole. Yet the expert
ment is a valuable one in demonstrate
ing how necessary it is that the feeder
go about his business intelligently and
thoughtfully if he expects to get the
most possible out of it in the way of
profits. Because he has found it good
policy to be little hap-hazard in using
whatever was at hand for feeding in
a year like this, it does not follow that
he can do it again without coming out
loser. When corn goes higher in price
it will pay the feeder to return to more
careful methods of feeding.

SNOW GEESE.

ON the Columbia river and Audubon
notes shat he has seen them in every
part of the United States which he has
visited. The young geese are gray. AT
what period they become white is not
definitely known. One that had been
captured while young remained gray
for six years, when in two months time
it grew to be pure white. Every
spring these birds migrate to the north,
and it is a~curious fact that the old.
white birds go first, followed a week or
two later by the young or gray ones.
DR.. Richardson is authority for the
statement that they breed in the barren
grounds of Arctic America. The young
are able to fly in August, and by the
middle of September they have depart
ed for the south. They mainly feed on
rushes, insects and berries and in turn
are very excellent eating themselves
but are rarely CONGRATULATIONS

oracked wheat for Ch.ck.

Some cracked wheat should be given
to chicks even before they are week
old. 1t is the best exercise their di'
gestive organs can have. Whole wheat
will be eaten when the chicks are ten
days to two weeks old, and should al
wavs form a part of their ration. 1t il
especially valuable to make them feath-
er quickly, the grain containing just
the kind of material necessary for
feather production. Where wheat is

Right Size of Turkexs.

People, as rule, do not want enough
turkey at one time to lay banquet
spread, and consequently they pick foI
something small, or not exceeding
medium in size. The hen turkeys al
ways sell first, simply because they are
more suited in size to the wants of the
ordinary family. Then the smallest
gobblers go, and lastly the pride of the
fock-the biggest tom in the lot; and
he usually goes at discount of two OF
three cents a pound less than the lesser
weights. \ turkey that weighs 10 tc
Is pounds dressed is plenty large
enough. The people don't want a tur.
key as big as a hog, but do want

Use of Liquid Manure.

It does not generally pay to use Liquid
manure on !. large scale. 1t is a cost,
method of manuring, as the water addi
greatly to the bulk, and nature in ths
course of the year usually supplies wa
ter enough to liquefy al the plant food
the crops require. But there are special
cases where liquid manuring will pay
if used properly. The most common
mistakes are, first, making the liquid
manure too strong. in which case il
will rot the roots instead of feeding
them. The other is allowing any liquid
manure, however weak, to get on the
leaves of plants. They are benefited
by being washed by rains, but by nOth7
ing stronger.

WILL PROTECT HER SUBJECTS. Great Britain Ready to Send One of
 Her Cruisers to Havana

Washington, Nov 4-Naval officers are biting their lips over the report that Great Britain proposes to pre- tect her citizens in Cuba by warships. The third class cruiser Pallas is at Key West, coaled up, rsady to answer at once any call of the British consul at Havana While England is thus prepared to protect her own, American vessels have been engaged in attend ing round of festivities. -uA
 An American officer said yesterday:
 '3It is with shame that we naval of. ticers recall the action of our govern ment in Cuban waters, both past and present, and draw humiHating paral- 1els of the present condition of affairs with that of the Virginius victims, abandoned to their fate by an Ameri- can warship and rescued by an Eng fish captain, who threatened to bring the walls of the town of Santiago de Cuba about their ears if they dared to harm hair of their prisoners heads"

A PERSISTENT PLAINTIFF.
The United States vs the Copper
 Queen Consolidated

When the United States gets into a quits until an adverse decision is rsndered in court of last resort. Some>years ago a man moved upcn the west side of the Chiricahua noun tains in the neighborhood of Turkey Creek and Turkey Creek canyon. He established a saw mill and cut down acres and acres of the magnificent pines which grew upon the western slopes of those mountains.
 The Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company became interested in this lumbaring enterprise by buying the timber to be used in timbering it's mine at Bisbee. The land upon which the timber was cut was government land, which had never been surveyed, and finally the government began a civil action for damages against the wood cutter and the Copper Queen to collect the sum of $1e3, GOO, estimated upon what is called the 'sstumpage.'' It was alleged in the original con- plaint that all the timber cut from the sides of Turkey Creek canyon had not been used in the timberi of the Copp3r Queen. It was said that some of it had been employed in building lip Wilcox and part of it in building houses in Bisbee. But this alIega- tion really cut no figure in the trial
 The main and only questions were: Was the land from which the timber was cut, mineral land, and was the timber to be used for mining purposes? Of course the building of houses in Bisbee or Willcox could not be cct- k strued as the application of the tim Hber to mining purposes, but in the v1rial between the government and the defendants no attmept was made to show that the timber had been so used. The government spent it's time in trying to prove that the land from which the trees were cut was not mineral land. The defense was equally busy in trying to show that the west ern slope of the Chiricahuas was a mining region and net an agricultural = section, as the government alleged.
 At the first trial a judgment was rendered for the defense, but at a second trial at Tucson two years aga a jury disagreed. The conflict of k testimony on that occasion wasAssur- prising. Witnesses, supposed to be experts, swore that that whole coun- try was a Klondyke for gold and sill yer. One man who was greatly re- lied upon, said that he had engaged in agricultural pursuits, but had nearly broken up because he could raise nothing. The ground was absolutely worthless. On cross examination hs admitted that his crops started all right and became promising, but thai the deer came down from the noun tains and ate thsm up- Witnesses fo1 the government pictured the country as a garden of Eden, devoid of min eral and lacking also those necessary

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 4-Twslve years ago J. w. Tustin of Tonawanda, N. Y., had some trouble with his fam fly and went west. When the news of the discovery of gold in the Klcn- dyke reached the states he was among the first to start for the new gold re- gions. He was lucky, and that is why he is now on his way home to surprise his family. He brought with him about $60,000 in nuggets 10 make re- conciliation easy. Iustin passed -hrough Buffalo this morning. He is about 30 years old. but the hard life of the Klondyke has added ten years to his looks. He said:
 ''Thare isn't much in this grip I've got clothes stake and pickle bottle full of nuggets. I left home twelve years ago because I was an impe ,uous youth. Well, it's all come out vel and good and what's the use. Here l am back again hearty and healthy and wealthy" In speaking of the th-eat nad fam inc at Dawson City, he said it wa: greatly exaggerated.
