Cotton Seed as Stock Food.

Cotton Seed as Stock Food.
Repeated inquiries come to the Okla
homa Experiment Station as to the val
ue Of cotton seed as food for animals.
There is a widespread fear that it is an
unsafe food. There is some foundation
for this feeling, but, used judiciously,
cotton seed may be wisely fed to either
cattle, horses or sheep-sometimes to
hogs. Young stock are more liable to
injury than older ones. Rarely is it
wise to make this the only grain food.
Long continued high feeding with cot
ton seed sometimes gives bad results.
But where it is not practicable to have
the seed sent to an oil mill, it certainly
should not be allowed to go to waste.
its high percentage of oil and good
amount of "fesh-forming material"
makes it a good food to use in connec-
ton with straw, corn slower, etc. It is
not advisable to let young calves, lambs
or pigs have free access to the seed,
but older animals, except hogs, may
have a supply before them, If other
grain or sufficient "roughness" is also
given.
Beginning With Poultry.-A writer
advises beginner, IL he has $1,000 to
put only half of it into the poultry
business at first. We would advise
him to start with little or no capital, at
most a very little. Get few hens and
hatch the flock. One does not need
costly hen houses, bone cutters, incu-
bators and so on to start with. Many
Of the most profitable flocks have never
seen anything of these luxuries. Most
farm flocks are kept in the barn with
the other stock, though shut away from
it, and as to bone cutters, ETC., no barn
flock needs them. Woe unto the one
who starts in with large capital. One,
of the strongest points in favor of poul.
try keeping is that it requires very lit
tie capital.-Dakota Farmer.

Estimating Yield Before Harvesting e.

In all beet sugar countries manuiactur
ers are always anxious to determine in
advance what the beet crop will be
when harvested. The statistical work
done by the international Association
has attained such perfection that the
errors now made are comparatively few !;
however, under the best OF circum-
stances, this, taken as whole, cannot
be as accurate as special estimation in
each local section OF the country. In
special cases when the prices fluctuate
from year to year, Manufacturers make
offers Tor the entire crop OF roots, based
upon laboratory analysis. Sometimes
the farmer gains by this method, and
sometimes the manufactures has the
advantage,

ay, Of % acres belonging to one iSrmer,
four patches about the same distance
rom each other are selected{ There
must be taken what might be called
averages from the general appearance OF
the field. On any one Of the rows oil
selected patches about 80 feet is
measured off and the nearest beet to
this distance is pulled; at every 30 ieei
beyond, beet is taken and when FIVE
are pulled this is considered the sample
OF the first row OF the patch. The
operation il repeated on another row
about 20 feet from the first, but COM
mencing in an opposite direction. This
20 beets are obtained; ii the operation
is repeated on the other patches, the
total sample for the 25-acre estimation
will then be 100 beets. When in the
laboratory Il classification OF size is
adopted. Every other beet is kept and
this reduces the sample to so roots.
Each OF those are divided into four parts
and the quarters thus obtained represent
the final sample, which is reduced to
very fine pulp and represents in reality
but II beets.
The method claims to cover nearly
?.j acres, or one-tenth OF the total under
consideration. 1t does away with the
.dividual bias of the sample. Ifsticks
are placed on the fields on spots from
where the beets have been taken, the
development OF the roots during their
growth may be examined by taking fresh
samples in the ssme way as the first,
from which general average is
obtained. This is said to represent an
almost mathematical estimation of the
yield OF sugar and beets per acre.
1t is evident that il there could exist
9 me understanding between important
contracting farmers OF certain regions,
say covering four or five miles, that the
slmpling be done on the same day, the
results when sent to central bureau
would be the basis for campaign esti-
nation most valuable for all interested.
There is evidently great need OF some
mut0al work among the farming popula-
ton where beets are cultivated. In
Lower California, for example, associa-
tions have been formed, il is true, which
protect their interests as to price and
delivery, but not as to improvement in
their methods in cultivation. The est
nation in question, inimapy cases, be a
forerunner Of what advantage one tiller
had gained over his neighbor by more
careful method OF working the soil, or
care given during the changes OF the
root from time of planting Sugar
Beet.

Double Row Beet Harvester for
Hills.

For beet-harvesting in hills there are
v,ry few implements IN existance. we
think tnat our work would not be COM
plete without giving some hints MS 10
devices that haye met with more or less
success. The harvester described in the
Sugar Beet OF September, 1897, was for
one row on fiat surface; the same idea
with certain variations, has been applied
to hills. Tie traction regulator and
and general shape vi the Implement
remain the same in both cases, The
knives and pointers are, however, dii-
ferent. and appear to be well sniied to
the work to be accomplished. We have
supposed the roots growing III two
rows on top of each hill After each
passage on tile Bajac harvester the two
rows vf beets III one of the hills are
lifted from their position and may be
subsequently pulled by hand, even by
child, without an effort. The vertical
knife passes through the axis OF the
between the two beets; the roots are
moved back word and foreward without
in any way bing bruised, The two
points with tails then pass on the right
of one and on tho lett of the other beet
which has been displaced, the operation
OF loosen;ng tire beet from the earth is
then complete.
The harvest has two slicing disks.
such as attached to the single-row inn
d ement; one oi these disks moves In
{ ont of the first, and the other on a
level with the back pointers. Tn.
main work accomplished by the disks
Is that of cutting OF the leaves, which, ii
TOO numerous, would prevent satisiac.
tory working OF the filters, The eartn
being cut open in front of knives, the
hills retain their shape after the pass
of the harvester. 1t must be said, fur
thermore, that the disks in question
keep the knives in a vertical position
and at a regular dept. The stability OF
the implement during the working
largely depends upon them. A very
important feature relating to this har-
vester is that it may be altered to dat
surface implement.
We consider 1t advantageous for the
builders OF beet har,esters in the Unit
oi States to import the principal appli-
ances in continental Europe, and from
these make their notifications rather
than attempt new divices which cost
considerable money Tor experimenting
aud when completed frequently, do not
meet the requirements of scientific beet
cultivation, which demands that the
roots shall not in any way be bruis Il.
Several implements which we have ex-
amined are constructed on the ba.is
we heve just suggested, the main differ
ence in the European plan that the
conductor Of the harvester is seated on
the implement and does not direct his
horses from a standing position The
additional weight of one man does not
not effect the requisite fractional force
to any extent, and in most cases is most
sufficient to press down the harvester
as does the foreweighted wheels, as ad-
opted in the new design of The machines
previously described tn those pages. -

Mercur, April civilian Edmunds,
a miner working at the Mercur mine,
has passed through one of those ex-
periences that years cannot blot out,
and that he is alive today is a miracle.
He went off shift early on Wednesday
morning. The heavy thunder clouds
prevented even the light Of the stars
from lighting him on his way, and
it was only by habit that he was able
to keep the path from the mine TO his
cabin Close by the path is an old
shaft 60 feet deep, and into this he
stumbled. His partner was unable to
account for the sudden disappearance,
and while believing that for some
cause. only known to Edmunds, he
had left the camp, he visited all the
open shafts in the neighborhood, and
at last yesterday, found the object OF
his search. A noise in the bottom Of
the shaft attracted his attention, and
investigation showed that the missing
man was lying on his back on some
soft mud in the bottom of the shaft,
his hands folded on his breast He
was conscious. but so weak that even
now it is doubtful whether he can re-
cover.
All day Wednesday, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday, he could hear peo-
pie walking past and children playing
near by. but was unable to make him
self heard He is still in a very weak
state. but received all the assistance
that kind nursing and medical skill
can give him. Edmunds is a native of
Wales, but has lived in Utah many

WAR REVENUE BILL.
Some New Features Will Be Laid Be
fore Committee Today.

| Washington, April 25-The Repub-
lican members of the ways and means
committee had another conference this
afternoon, as a result of which Chair
man Dingley, at a late hour, re-intro-
duced his war revenue bill with a
number of important amendments
framed to meet objections. The
| amended bill is likely to be laid be-
fore the full committee tomorrow.
There are two new features. One,
which is made section %, gives author
lty for the taxed parties and concerns
to meet the increased rates. 1t fol-
lows:
THAT every person, firm or corpora
ton, who shall have made any con-
tract prior to the passing of this act
and without other provision therein
for the payment of taxes imposed by
law, enacted subsequent thereto, upon
articles to be delivered under such
contract, is hereby authorized and
empowered to add to the price thereof
so much money as will be equivalent to
the tax imposed on said articles by this
act and not previously paid by the
vendee and shall be filed by virtue
hereof to be paid, and to sue for and
TO recover the same accordingly. In
all cases Of articles manufactured by
another, if the manufactures shall be
required to pay under this act the tax
hereby imposed, such person or per-
sons so paying the same shall be en-
titled to collect the amount thereof, of
the owner or owners and shall have a
lien for the amount thus paid on the
produced or manufactured goods
The amended bill imposes a tax on
telephone messages as follows:
For 80 miles or more, where the
charge does not exceed % cents,
cent; where charges exceed % cents
and do not exceed $1.50, 2 cents; from
81 to So. cents. and charge exceeding
S., 10 cents.
States are exempt from this tax as
well as that on telegraph messages.
owners and operators of long distance
lines are required to report monthly
to the commissioner of internal
revenue the number of messages dur
ing the preceding month of a dis
lance of 80 miles or more for which
charge has been made, together with
the amount received, under a penalty
of not exceeding $500 for failure to re-
port.
The setting apart of s75O,OOO for the
marine hospital service from the re-
ceipts from tonnage duties, is limited
TO the fiscal year, 1899
For the expenses of assessment and
collections of these taxes 500, 600, or so
much of that as is necessary, is APP
propriated for the employment of such

PROVO CAVALRY.
Utah County Boys Anxious to Serve
Their Country.

Provo City, April 25.-A great deal
of interest is being evinced by the
members of company NJ since the proc
lamation calling for troops issued by
President Mckinley. The question Of
changing the organization from one Of
infantry to one OF cavalry is being dis
cussed, and if it is cavalry the presi-
cent wants, he will have no trouble in
getting a troop from Utah county. The
boys here are very anxious to go, and
are ready and willing to do anything
that viii assure their being sent TO the
front at once. Reed Smoot went to
Salt Lake today, to confer with Gov
ernor Wells, with a view TO getting his
approval Of the organization of a troop
OF cavalry in Provo. All our boys are
good horsemen, and no time would be
lest in learning 10 ride. Regular drill
will be held at the Southworth hall to-
night, and it is expected that enough
men viii sign the enlistment roll to
make the company's full quota of men.
If so, the company will be organized so
that it will be on an equal footing with
the other companies of the national
guard. II. however, the governor makes
a call for cavalry, the infantry organ
ization viii be abandoned, for the boys
would much prefer TO go into the SER
vice as cavalry.
Brigham Smoot, son of TIE late pres
ident a. o. Smoot. returned home from
college yesterday evening. Mr.. Smoot
has lately taken out a degree at the
Lehigh university.
