Big Cattle Feeding Enterprise.

Big Cattle Feeding Enterprise.
Col. Fred. T. Evans has recen tly
entered upon an extensive cattle
feeding enterprise at Sioux City,
having contracted with the Sioux
City starch works to consume what
lis left of the corn that is used in the
manufacture Of starch, says the
Deadwood Independent. The starch
plant grinds up and treats a thous-
and bushels Of corn daily, aud the
substance that is cast aside is esti-
mated to be sufficient to feed thou
sand head of cattle per day. It is
really the most nutritious element
Of the grain and shodld make the
feeding business very profitable.
The starch company has agreed to
put up large barn capable of hold
ing 1000 head and equipped with
the most modern and convenient
system for delivering the feed to the
animals. This is done by means of
troughs and tramways. The build
ing is framed and will be completed
within a few week. The starch
plant is situated in the outskirts OF
the city on the Illinois Central line
between Sioux City and Leeds and
feeding cattle will be purchased at
the Sioux City stock yards.
Mr.. Evans expects to move his
family from Hot Springs to Sioux
City and will make his future home
there. He says that Sioux City is
the most promising city Of the west
and is steadily improving.

Potash bordeaux is tho name Of rhe
new combination from the New Jersey
experiment station with which tungous
diseases may be battled with. Tins Is
simply the bordeaux mixture, with
caustic potash used instead of lime.
The formula is: Copper sulphate, 3
pounds; caustic potash, 3 pounds; Wa
ter, 30 gallons. In calling attention to
this combination the Philadelphia Led
ger explains that there are two grades
of the potash, representing two prices.
The one may be obtained i'll bulk, the
other comes III pound cans. To dissolve
either, put into kettle Of hot water.
As the potash varies in strength, red
litmus paper may be used for detecting
an excess. II the color romans I'M
changed, add potash until a slight tinge
of blue is perceptible. If the paper
turns blue, add more copper sulphate.
The results of the experiments show the
potash bordeaux to be of about equal
value with the lime bordeaux, the only
gain being apparently the added value
of the potash as fertilizer and the less
trouble in the preparation.
